FROM THE WORLD’S FAIR
Latest Particulars Concerning the Opening Exercises The Life-Sarins Exhibit end the Convent of Ie Rabtda A Huge ColdStonge Plant for the Summer Season. [Special Chicago Correspondence]
A recent report contained the intelligence that the exercises were to be held in Festival hall, wherein President Cleveland would make the opening address to some two or three thousand invited guests, and frofh whence he would set in motion the machinery of the great fair, but we are pleased to learn that such an arrangement has been abandoned and the exercises are to be held out doors where the world may behold the impressive ceremonies. The east front of the Administration building has been selected as the most roomy and convenient spot for the erection of the platform for the use of President Cleveland and the other officials who are to take part in the opening exercises. This platform will be connected with Machinery hall so that from the speaker's table the president
will have no difficulty in starting the huge wheels in their revolutions. The new plan affords many opportunities for picturesque effects, as the position commands the water front and many of the finer pieces of statuary, and will enable thousands of spectators to get a fine view of the exercises. As far as can be learned at this time this arrangement has been definitely settled upon and there is no reason to fear that any changes will he made. A life-saving station is one of the attractive features of the lake shore section near the Fisheries building. There is a pretty two-story cottage fitted up with all the appliances of the life-sav-ing service, and a steel framed lighthouse one hundred feet high. The station is to be permanent and is in every way a model one. A regular patrol system of the entire beach will be kept up night and day to illustrate to the visitors at the fair the careful watch that is constantly kept upon our seaeoasts for wrecked mariners and vessels in distress. This exhibit will undoubtedly prove of great interest to people who come from inland points. Further to the south along the lake shore and just beyond the grand entrance to the lagoon is a building
■which already attracts as much attention as any at the fair. It is a quaintlooking structure, built upon the plan of the old Spanish missions, and is situuated on an island, the outer line of which is px-otected by a rough stone embankment to shield it from the breakers. This queer building is an exact reproduction of the convent of La Rabida at Palos, which at one time was a refuge of Columbus and his son Diego when they were in great need (of even the bare necessaries of life. Its history is intensely interesting, and many visitors will be drawn to it by the rare and valuable rdlics and curiosities which it will contain. The old-fashioned convent itself will form a striking contrast to the magnificent modern architecture on the fair grounds. Its quaint walls and roof and general ensemble of the middle ages will give the visitor a correct Idea of
the religions architecture of old Spain in Columbus time* Inside the convent will be the most valuable relics on the fair grounds, with the possible exception of the American Declaration of Independence and one or two other priceless possessions of the government. Illustrations of the life history of Columbus and relics of the court of Ferdinand and Isabella and of the early history of this continent in Columbus’ time will be shown in profusion. The Columbian
LANS for the I opening exercises of the Columbian exposition have at last been definitely arranged and the public at large can rest assured that there will be no privacy nor preferme n t in the proceedings.
relics have been gathered from every quarter of the globe for a special exhibit, at the world’s fair. The story connected with the convent is that early in 1492 Columbus, while traveling on foot and in a destitute condition through Spain, applied for food of the Franciscan fathers in charge of La Rabida. He was kindly and hospitably reeeived. The prior, Father de Marchena, was a man of education and culture and had a large influence in the court of Ferdinand and Isabella. Columbus explained his plans

to the prior, who became interested and finally secured for the unfortunate navigator an audience with the queen of Spain, who with the king was then in camp with the besieging army before Granada. Had it not been for the good abbot Columbus would probably never have had an opportunity to discover the new world. Prominent among the big buildings at the fair is the huge refrigerator or cold storage pavilion, which is located on the extreme western confines of the grounds and just back of the Transportation building. In this building will be kept all the perishable goods, such as meats, vegetables, etc., for use in the restaurants at the fair. It will be a very complete building in every respect for the purpose, and in addition to its other features it will contain, upon the top floor, a skating rink eighty-five by one hundred and eighty feet in extent, where, during the hot summer months, visitors may indulge in the novel and refreshing pastime of skating on the ice while the thermometer is doing its best to melt and boil the mercury on the outside. To the average citizen the process of ice-making is a profound mystery, and through lack of opportunity he has been

unable to enlighten himself on this most interesting industry. Here he will be afforded an excellent chance to study the thing in detail, and the student of refrigeration will find in operation every process for the preservation of foods that has been approved by experts. The capacity of the ice machines will be one hundred and twenty tons a day, and the storage rooms will accommodate over five hundred car loads of perishable food. From this it will be seen that there will be no necessity of drinking warm water or eating melted butter in the fair grounds. One of the greatest conveniences at Jackson park is the elevated railroad, which is rapidly approaching completion. This road winds in and out among the great buildings and reaches every part of the grounds. For aged persons and those who are too frail or feeble - to travel about afoot this line

will be a great convenience. At a trifling eo6t they can be quickly transported from one point to another, or ride about the entire grounds and obtain better views of the buildings than can be obtained from the ground. Another novel and enjoyable mode of transit will be by boat in the lagoon. There will be steam launches, electric launches, gondolas and all sorts of water craft. And just outside the grand entrance from the lake there will be sailboats and rowboats without number, so that the lover of aquatic sports will have ample opportunity to engage in his favorite pastime. Outside the fair grounds in Midway Plaisance there is at present a perfect tumult of excitement. People from every country under the sun are jostling one another in their efforts to get ready for the grand opening. Thousands of people go out daily from the city to see the strange sights from far off lands, and we are already afforded a foretaste of what the coming exposition is going to be among the foreign nations.
EXPOSITION ET CETERA.
The collective exhibits now stored in the Woman's building are those from Great Britain, New South Wales, Ceylon, Paraguay and New Mexica fl The, roof of the Manufactures building will be converted into a sort W promenade, from which an excellent bird’s-eye view of the grounds, the city and the lake may be had. From Ohio there was received a piece of coal weighing eleven tons. It will form an exhibit in the Mines and fining building. It has been dressed to the shape of a small pyramid. The flagship of Columbus, the Santa Maria, which was built in Spain and towed across the ocean for exhibition at the fair, will become the property of the United States. The Spanish government has made a formal tender of the caravel. A New York confectioner will exhibit at the world’s fair a statue of Columbus iu chocolate seven and a half feet high, weighing seventeen hundred pounds, and a Venus of Milo in the same material, weighing fifteen hundred. They look like bronze. The Clydesdale Horse society of Great Britain and Ireland has advised Chief Buchanan that the society will make a special offering of seven hundred dollars for Clydesdale horses exhibited at the exposition, registered in either the American Clydesdale stud book or the Clydesdale stud book of Canada (appendix included). The exhibit which the boys of the Cathedral school in New York will make at the Columbian exposition was inspected recently by Archbishop Corrigan. Nearly all of the forty parochial schools of the archdiocese will be represented in the Catholic educational exhibit. Some of the exhibits have been shipped. France intends to make a fine arts record at the exposition. Artists and sculptors of that country have become so much interested in the fair that M Henri Giudecelli, the fine arts commissioner, said the French people would contribute a larger and iu every way finer exhibit than they had made at any,previous exposition. A unique exhibition for the world’s fair has been prepared at Sucker Creek, Mich. It is said to be the largest load of logs ever placed upon sleds. It scaled thirty-five thousand feet and weighs one hundred and forty tons. The sleds are made from bird’s-eye maple, highly polished and heavily ironed. The runners are seven feet in length and six inches in width. The load was hauled a distance of about fifty feet by a team weighing thirtyfive hundred pounds. The operation was witnessed by several men who had been sworn before a justice of the peace to tell the truth about the loading and hauling of the logs. •
Belgium’s Art and flowers.
A steamer loaded with Belgium exhibits has left Antwerp for New York. This shipment concludes the list of articles which were to be sent from that c ountry to the exposition. More than two hundred packages of Belgium goods have been already received at the Manufactures building, and a shipment of two hundred paintings is en route to Jackson park. The exhibits of Belgium in the Horticultural building will consist of eight hundred plants, noticeable among which will be the displays from Ghent, which town is famous throughout the world for the culture of flowers. The Horticultural society of Ghent sends ' a remarkable collection of rhododendrons from fifteen to sixteen feet in circumference. There is also a fine showing of azaleas.
Israel Putnam’s Gun.
Gen.. Israel Putnam’s antique gun, with which the bluff continental soldier killed the she wolf, according to the famous story of “Putnam and the Wolf,” one hundred and forty years ago, is now at Hartford, on its way to the world’s fair. The gun is the property of a family at Pntnam, wholive not far from the Pomfret wolf cavern. One day recently while Mrs. M G. Bulkeley, wife of ex-Gov. Bulkeley. was visiting at Putnam, the family intrusted the gun to her and she forwarded it to Gov. Bulkeley. There it was in the care of the ex-governor’s footman and removed to the capital, where a large crowd gathered to see it. The old arm was never taken out of the state before and It will be guarded with great care while it is on its way to the fair.
Sea Water.
Seven carloads of salt water which not long ago was making its billowy way toward the coast of northern Europe in the Atlantic gulf stream, arrived at Jaekson park the other day for the fish in the aquarium whose tastes, dp not run to fresh water. It was quite a task to get this water. Of a necessity it had to be as pure as possible. The United States fish commission’s steam* er Fish Hawk went out to the gulf stream and got the deep blue kind on its way from the tropics. It was pumped into huge tanks on the steamer and then traneferred into the seven tank ears w hich had been made to carry oil.

DON’T LISTEN Sto the dealer who is bent on bigger profits, The thing that he wants you to buy, when you ask for Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, isn't “ just as good.” Proof of this is easy. The .only guaranteed remedy ) for the ailments of womanhood is the “ Favorite Prescription.” If it ever fails to benefit or cure, in making weak women strong or suffering women well, you have your money back. Anything “just as good,” or as sure to bring help, could be, and would be,* sold in just that way.

It builds up, strengthens, regulates, and cures. For periodical pains, bearing-down sensations, ulceration, inflammation—every thing that’s known as a “female complaint,” it’s a remedy that’s safe, certain, and proved.
DO YOU CHEW TOBACCO P YOU EKTJOY Horseshoe Plug. fone Grocer says: clerks who can sell the goods them to sell—and of course to sell the goods on which I the most money. If they do it, I won’t have them, t’s what I hire them for.” This is an actual fact related by a grocer to our salesman —and it’s a common fact; we have it daily. So, you see, when they tell you that some worthless or dangerous ashing-powder is “the same H l or “as good as” Pearline, that’s because it a larger profit. Too large, altogether, if clerks can be hired on purpose to make people take things they don’t want and know nothing of, instead of a tried and proved article like Pearline. If your grocer sends you what you do not order, be honest —send it back. an THE POT INSULTED THE KETTLE BECAUSE THE COOK HAD NOT USED SAPOLIO GOOD COOKING DEMANDS CLEANLINESS.
