WORLD’S FAIR GOSSIP.

Fresh No tee of Interest from the Wonderful White City. An Event of Great Importance Amonf the Japanese Dedication of the Ho-o-den Temple The Opening Day. (Special Chicago Correspondence.] An impressive ceremony was witnessed at Jackson park on lhe first day of the present month. It was the dedication by the Japanese and world’s fair officials of the 80-o-den temple on the wooded island which lies in the lagoon in the center of the fair grounds. The event was celebrated in the true Oriental fashion, the exercises being conducted by the Japanese commissioners in the full regimentals of their native land. It was in truth a curious sight that was presented to the American guests of the occasion, and one that will doubtless be remembered by them long years after the great fair has passed away and many of its features have passed from mind. The Japanese workmen were ranged in line before the temple and during the exercises sang their native song, a very weird, and it must be confessed, unmusical refrain, yet peculiarly suited to the occasion. The whole affair betokened the spirit of international fraternity, for which it may be said these peopie are noted, and in their speeches the Japanese officials alluded to the friendly

relations existing between their country and ours in the warmest terms. As hosts they showed themselves to be most considerate . and courteous, and in their expressions of thankfulness for the kindness shown them since their arrival in this country they were profuse and earnest This wonderful temple is the counterpart of the great Ho-o-den palace at Nji, near Kioto, Japan, one pi the groups of the Bidodins. It is built of wood, with tiled roof, the cross trees being logs whose ends are beautifully carved in the form of lions’ heads. The temple, it is said, is intended to represent the Hoo, a fabled bird of the Japanese; the two-storied central part being the body of the bird, the colonnades on the sides the wings and the corridor at the back the tail. On the top of the original structure are two phoenixes, three and a half feet high, made of bronze and so flexible that the wings and heads are moved by the wind. In all it is a wonderful and picturesque structure, and w’hen completed throughout will be one of the most valuable buildings on the fair grounds. The original Ho-o-den or Phoenix hall dates back to the year 1052, but it was built twelve hundred years ago. It was at first the home of a celebrated Japanese nobleman, at whose death it was converted into a monastery and afterward became the shrine of "Amedia,” the buddha of Japan. The decorations of the temple are all by famous artists, and consist of works in gold lacquer, bronze and mother of pearl. The interior decorations of the tem-

pie on the wooded island at the fair are said to be far handsomer and more valuable than those of the original structure, and many additions in the way of ornamentation have been made. All the art work on the building has been done by picked artists, and no expense has been spared to make the temple a feature of great beauty. It is to become the property of the city of Chicago after the fair is over, being a present from the emperor of Japan. ' r here are several buildings erected by these people in different parts of the grounds, and there will doubtless be much attraction in them for the visitors from rural districts, who have never seen anything of the kind. The beholder will be struck at a glance with their extreme neatness and airiness and the spicy aroma which seems to hang about everything that comes

from Japan There is a sort of booth to the northeast of the Ho-o-den temple which is a marvel of neatness in every detail. It is buiit entirely of bamboo poles, as are most of their structures, which are split and spread out so as to form a sort of ornamental clapboarding. The roof is made of large canes rent in twain and arranged in an in-and-out fashion so as to form gutters to shed rain. Japan may well feel proud of her showing among the nations at our great fair, for she is ably and fully represented, and while their cousins, the Chinese, will, on account of national differences, be missing at Jackson park, the Japanese will amply fill the breach, and will, no doubt, prove as interesting and entertaining as any race represented. The report has been circulated that Alfonso XIII.. the infant king of Spain, is to take part in the opening exercises of the fair, but this is authentically contradicted, and it is furthermore ascertained that neither the young king nor his mother will be present. Infanta Isabella Vill, according to the latest intelligence, come to the opening of the exposition and will remain for some time thereafter a guest of the United States. In regard to the exeralses on the opening day there is at present considerable dissatisfaction not only in Chicago but throughout the country, as it has been announced that only a select few would be allowed to witness the ceremonies. What the outcome will be it is impossible to state, as sufficient time still remains for a change

in the programme. It was thought up to a late moment that the exercises would be held in the open air on the green at the east front of the Government building, but the committee on ceremonies has, it seems, decided to hold the opening exercises in Festival hall, which faces the lagoon between the Horticultural and Transportation buildings. From an elevated platfonfl in this hall President Cleveland will address the people and press the button which will set the machinery in motion. It is said that not more than two thousand privileged persons will be permitted to witness the opening ceremonies, and-the masses must be content with enjoying it by proxy. This, however, may not be final, although it is authentic.

The programme, as at present arranged, is as follows: Music, Columbian March and Hymn, John K. Payne. Prayer. Presentation of chiefs of departments and foreign commissioners by the director general. Music: “In Praise of God,” Beethoven. Address and opening of the World’s Columbian exposition by the president of the United States. Starting of machinery, during which time will be, performed “Hallelujah Chorus,” Handel. Official visit from the president of the United States and officials of the World’s Columbian exposition, and the World’s Columbian commission, to the various departments, arrangements

having been made previously with each chief to receive them. Notwithstanding the general impression that the fair will not be ready for the opening on the first day of May, we are positively assured by the officials that everything will be in order for that auspicious occasion. We are quite willing to accept the assurance, but from present indications we can hardly expect to see every portion of the exposition fully completed. But we can rely upon the officials to do everything in their power to hasten matters, and it is safe to say that when the moment arrives for setting in motion the great wheels of Machinery hall Jackson park will be sufficiently presentable to welcome the nations to the greatest of all great world’s fairs.

INDIANA STATE NEWS.

At Anderson Mrs. Geo. Adams, who resides in East Lynn, placed a tub of boiling water on the floor and left the room for a short time. Her seven-year-old son, playing around the room, walked backward into the tub. When rescued he was burned and scalded so that the flesh dropped from his arms, shoulders and body. The boy lingered a few hours in great agony. When Fenton Epworth Mill arose from bed, at Elkhart, the other morning, he lighted a match and accidentally see fire to his clothing. Before he could extinguish the flames he was so severely burned that his death resulted next day. John R. McFee, of Indianapolis, the attorney who forged names to notes Aggregating (8,000, and who was arrested at Philadelphia, has proposed to the prosecutor to plead guilty to one indictment, if he will agree to dismiss the others.

Ft W. & C. railroad discovered the body of Cornelius Curtis, of Wheeling, lying beside the track just west of Valparaiso. Le was a member of the G. A. R. and had resided in Wheeling about, four years, coming from Piqua, 0., where his mother still lives The manner of his death is not known, but it was thought he was assaulted and robbed, as he received quite a sum of money a few days ago and none was found on his person. At Indianapolis a jury which tried McClure for the murder of his wife was discharged after having been out fortyeight hours They were unable to agree, standing two for conviction and ten for acquittal. The defense was that the killing was accidental. The Taylor university will be removed to Upland. The state G. A. R. elected the •following officers: Department commander, James F.

Mrs. Nellie Boycourt, of Indianapolis, aged 22, was adjudged insane. When the disease first came on she attempted to kill her child, and would threaten all who approached her. She imagines that she is dead and in a vault from which she is trying to escape. Mrs. Boycourt was a confirmed cigarette smoker, and it is the opinion of her family that her persistent indulgence in this habit has a great deal to do with her insanity. At the State encampment of the G. A. R. at Evansville, the other day, the resignation of George Langsdale, president of the State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument association, was demanded, that action being precipitated by the dispute over the question of placing Mexican dates on the Indianapolis monument

Dr. George F. Edenh arter, superintendent of the Indianapolis City hospital, was elected superintendent of the Central insane hospital at Indianapolis, one of the largest institutions of its kind in the West. William Kelly, a Lake Shore engineer, who was killed at Burdick the other morning, has lost his life gradually in the service of the road. Several years ago he a finger, then an eye, then a hand, aiW finally his life. The Indianapolis cabinet works, the D. F. Stone Furniture Co. and Herman Lanter, all engaged in the manufacture of tables and fine desks in Indianapolis, have formed a combination for the purpose of fixing a scale of prices. The combined concerns employ 1,000 men. * North Manchester, Wabash county, is to have a system of water works with sixty-four fire hydrants, five miles of mains, the largest being twelve inches, a standpipe 110 feet high and engines with a pumping capacity of 750,000 gallons per day of twenty-four hours. Harvey Robinson attempted suicide at Valparaiso, because his wife gave him a lecture. He went to the basement and was about choked to death when she arrived and saved him. Then he got it again. An Indianapolis man is the owner of a parrot that is noted for its talking power. Early the other morning the man was awakened by an unusual burst of profanity, intermixed with screams and ejaculations, the purport of which explained itself when a burglar was discovered making his escape through an open window. The man fired several shots at the robber, without taking effect, but it encouraged the bird to continue to scream in a way which have shocked a less susperson.

The Argument Used Bl the makers of the second-class baking powders to induce the dealer to push them off on Royal consumers is that they cost less than Royal and afford the dealer much more profit. But you, madam, are charged the same price for them as for the absolutely pure Royal, which is perfectly combined from the most highly refined and expensive materials. The lower cost of the others is caused by the cheap, impure materials used in them, and the haphazard way in which they are thrown together. Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal for an inferior baking powder, made from impure goods, of 27 per cent, less strength? If you buy the other powders, insist upon having a corresponding reduction in price.
