SWARMS OF PEOPLE.

ÜB. city now be(€l7) gins to feel somewhat more of a \j ' strain on her caP&city than has SSpnr \ yet been apparI ent since the jEjjfljjlp r opening of the Pii J great exposition, wtfirW ** T u^e JMr plain that the jfjsP farming people mj are getting ffm through with \ their harvesting and are coming 4V to Chicago. The >' down-town thor-

oughfares show unmistakable evidence of a fresh impetus to the tide of travel, <ind for the last few days the crowds that swarm the business section of the city have been perceptibly increasing l in volume. So much so, in fact, that it is a difficult matter to pedestrianate at anything like a brisk gait without coming into collision with people who are very busy with the sights and consequently quite oblivious of citizens on business bent The stores and bazars where Columbian souvenirs and curios are on sale are packed and jammed with eager people from early morning till late at night, and the fakirs on the street are doing a thriving business in badges, buttons and all sorts of mementos of the Columbian year. Money seejns to be plenty notwithstanding the stringency of the money market, and there is a continuous stream of small change flowing into the coffers of the small dealers in nearly all branches of trade.

The crowd that pours out of the city toward Jackson park through the various channels of travel is ’daily increasing and the facilities for transportation ore being severely taxed. Street cars, "L” trains, railway trains, lake boatsl and all means of transit are kept busily on the move to take care of the hurrying throngs that surge toward the gates of the White City, but there is as y®t very little inconvenience felt by the traveling public, and, although a much larger crowd is expected from now on to the close of the fair, it is thought there will be but little difficulty in providing for them aIL

A GERMAN BEAUTY.

Just now the main attractions at the fair in the shape of special features are the West Point cadets and the prize cattle and horses. Widely varying in interest, of course, are these two features, but attention is pretty evenly divided between them. There is more fine Block at the fair just at present than was ever before gotten together, and more countries are represented in this department than were ever placed in competition before in America. Among the exhibits in the live stock department are some which are decidedly unusual in such exhibitions. There are some Brahmin, or sacred cattle, from India, which, according to the legends of that country, were at one time worshiped as are the white elephants of Siam. They were, it is said, stalled in Buddhist temples and were fed from vessels of gold and silver. Whatever sacred character they once possessed, the India cattle are now bred for combined speed and draft purposes. The two specimens, bull four years old and cew two years old, on exhibition at the fair, are from Trinidad, one of the windward islands of the Caribbean sea, just off the coast of British Guiana. The island is a British colony, and the India bull and cow were bred from sires and cows imported over twelve years ago from Hindo•tan. The breeding on the island has burn eminently successful under gov-

ernment auspices, and the cattle make fast draft animals. They are speedier than males, and will draw twice the weight It is no unusual thing to see these animals hitched up to carriages and handsome barouches in Trinidad, and the India bull is a natural and fast trotter. The cow at the fair is a creamywhite animal, delicately limbed as a Jersey cow, and somewhat resembles one, only being larger. The bull is mouse'colored, marked black about the muzzle, and is a strong, vigorous-look-ing animal. Both are short-horn have drooping ears, and the distinctive feature of the breed is a hump between the shoulders, not unlike that of the

American bison, or buffalo. The animals are thin-skinned and shorthaired, and their coats glisten like satin. Among other importations are forty head of horses from Russia, including a number from the imperial stables, l’hese animals are noted for their speed and endurance and will be disposed of in this country for breeding purposes. The display of native stock is very complete and extensive. There are a great many very fine specimens of horseflesh, from the mammoth Percheron to the diminutive Shetland pony

who wears as great an air of independent importance as does the bejeweled human mite who poses in our freak museums. • Numerous cattle of repute are also istalled in the great stock exhibit Dairy cows with pedigrees and records as long as their tails, and valued at sums that would be a life-long competence for the average man, ruminate complacently while the admiring crowds feast their eyes upon them. The prizes are going off rapidly and the daily contests are proving great attractions, and are filling the great pavilion in the southern portion of the grounds. It is very probable that lovers of thoroughbred horseflesh will soon have an opportunity of seeing the greatest of all living equines, for which $150,000 was paid less than a year ago. Negotiations are now pending between Mr. Mills, superintendent of the live stock exhibit at the world’s fair, and William O’Brien McDonough, the young California millionaire, for a two weeks’ exhibition of the great English stallion and unbeaten thoroughbred, Ormonde. The horse was formerly the property of the duke of Westminster and was sold by him to a South American for $60,000. The perfection of the animal in conformation, his unbeaten record of sixteen races, defeating the greatest runners in all Europe, and his great success as a sire—Orme and St Gatlon, his sons, being two of the champions of the English turf—make him by far one of the greatest thoroughbreds that ever looked through a bridle. A week ago Ormonde arrived in New York from England and will soon be en route to the great stock farm of his new owner in California. It is expected that the animal will be allowed to stop over a couple of weeks and show his great self in the stock pavilion.

Got. Pattison, of Pennsylvania, is deeply interested in the world’s fair, and has issued a proclamation appealing to the people of the Keystone state to make the celebration of Pennsylvania day, September 7, worthy of the commonwealth. He addresses himself, not only to actual residents of Pennsylvania, but to the thousands who ♦ave gone out from her borders and become citizens of other states. Excursions are already being projected in Philadelphia, Beading, Pittsburgh and the othw large cities. In the French collection there is a cabinet of bronze and ebony, with enamel of Limoges and Grecian figures It has a secret spring and a labyrintt of drawers. The valuation is twent; thousand dollars. In the German display a notebook bound in turtle shell and set with dia monds is valued at three thousand dollars

EDUCATION IN CANADA.

Quebec's Varied and Extremely Interesting Exhibit—Work of the Blind. On gallery B, in the Liberal Arts department of Manufactures building, In two sections, are the educational exhibits of the province of Quebec, Can., under the charge of Canon Bruchesi, D. D., appointed by the government, assisted by Brother Pelerinus. The exhibits come from two hundred convents and academies, and the McGill university, Protestant, of Montreal. The exhibit of the latter is not as extensive as the merit of the university warrants, but the space could not be obtained. The work represented in the remaining portions of the two sections shows the system of education of the convents and academies by grades, from the first step to the graduating course. There are compositions in English, French, German and Spanish by pupils of the various schools, and some of these are illustrated with pen drawings by the student, the subject being told in a two-fold manner. Great albums contain samples of needlework from the simplest bit to the finest crochet and lacework. The name of each Worker and her age are appended to the article. The ages range from eight to sixteen years and some of the work is remarkable. In one exhibit work is shown in flax, from the preparation of it on through its several stages, the last being a woven article. This is done by the students of Ursaline convent, Robertvue, Lake St. John. The work of the blind in the asylum at Montreal, under the direction of the Gray Nuns, is but another revelation of the ability of the blind. One sample will illustrate: A blind girl eleven years old wrote a poem in French. The manuscript is shown. Then she copied it from a type machine and the typescript is perfect. The history of the Institute of the Congregation of Notre Dame (burned a few days ago) from its foundation in 1620, by Marguerite Bourgeoys, is shown in a large frame, the priests, sisters superior and others appearing in pen sketches. Oil paintings and sketches by the deaf mutes of Montreal are interesting. In a glass case are eighteen thousand pressed flowers, each analyzed, all from the soil of Canada. The exhibit, as a whole, is varied and many things there are curious, and all are creditable to the system of education in the old province.

PLAYING WORLD’S FAIR.

That Is a New Game and the Children Have Lots of Fan with It. , “Playing world’s fair” is now a favorite amusement of the smaller boys and girls of Chicago. Many of them have seen for themselves the beauties of the exposition, including the bizarre glories of the Midway Plaisance. All these things the little ones try to reproduce in woodsheds and attics and under back porches. Toys and pictures and lanterns and anything else that can be made to simulate some feature of the exposition is set up in the “fair” and an an admission fee varying from five pins to one cent is collected from neighboring “kids” who are not favored with full-term passes by the directors. A West side mother recently observed great agitation among her little flock and on inquiry was told they had a world’s fair in the basement, and that she “might come in for a cent.” She paid no more attention to the matter till in the afternoon her little boy, aged seven, ran in with glowing cheeks and told her to come quick and see their Midway, and that Jennie and Millie—a neighbor’s little girls—were dancing like the Persians at the fair. There was enough in this to alarm the young matron, and, apparently responsive to the boy’s urgent invitation, she permitted herself to be led to the basement, where she was horrified at what she saw. Jennie and Millie, little tots of about six years of age, were perched on a dry-goods box doing duty as a stage, and, clad only in single garments, were going through motions that would have been most shocking in their suggestive depravity were it not for the baby innocence of the performers. A most enthusiastic audience of about their own age applauded the tiny dancers, all equally ignorant and innocent. Without provoking inquiry as to why she did it, the mother managed to stop the “dance” and to obtain from the children a promise that they would not repeat it. Cautious questioning developed the fact that a large boy who lived in the neighborhood and who had seen the Midway dances had told the little fellows who were getting up the play fair that the Midway was the best part of the exposition, and had told them how to reproduce the scenes and had taught the little girls how to imitate the contortions of the oriental dancers. —Chicago Herald.

How Do You Perspire?

The greetings of the divers people who congregate on the Midway Plaisance at the Columbian exposition are said to be deeply interesting to those who are sufficiently acquainted with the language to understand them. The Arabian observes to his fellow-Arab “Thank God, how arts you?” The Swede asks the rather in< onsequential question: “How can you?” The Frenchman solicitously inquires: “How do you carry yourself?” Germans want to know “How goes it?” or “How do you find yourself?” The Russian’s formula is: “How do you llye on?” But the Egyptian's is the salutation which appeals most strongly to the broiled sight seer in his cosmopolitan reservation He anxiously inquires: “How do you perspire?” There is a wonderful affinity between this greeting from the land of the Nile and the crocodile and the familiar question put by Americans, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the lakes to the gulf: “Is it hot enough for you?”—Pittsburgh Chronicle. valuation of thirty thousand dollars is given to two vases which the Spanish commissioners keep under lock and key. These vases are of iron, four feet high; one Etruscan, the other Grecian, ornamented with gold hammered into thaiion so as to show vines, cupids and figures of women in flowing drapery.

A post office has been established at Hensler, Posey county, and Ernest IL Hensler appointed postmaster. More than a hundred head of cattle were burned to death in a prairie fire near Valparaiso. Sparks from passing trains have fired fields near Pern. Farmers plowed around their houses and barns, thus saving them. Two footpads held up and relieved John Washington of his watch and $23 in money at Lawrenceburg the other night Mrs. David Dai.man, wife of a prominent farmer, near Fert Wayne, committed suicide by taking arsenic. After taking the dose she walked to the field where her husband and hands were threshing and told them what she had done, and said that she did not want to die alone; that she loved him, but that her troubles were more than she could bear. She leaves a large family. Jesse Denlinger, one of the victims burned by the natural gas explosion at Morristown, near Shelbyville, died. Dr. L. E. Russell, of Springfield, 0., who was called to Muncie to diagnose several of the alleged cases of smallpox, went to the home of Mr. Murray, where five cases had existed, all of which had been pronounced smallpox. After a thorough examination he unhesitatingly said that neither of the persons had smallpox. After going through the entire infected district he found but two cases of smallpox, the others being victims of chickenpox Charles Warren and John Hampton, near Crawfordsville, have sued the Monon for a quantity of hay and fences burned up. Warren wants $250 and Hampton SSOO. The state board of tax commissioners, the other day, completed the assessment of the railroad property of the state. Although some ndw property was added to the list, the valuation this year falls about three-quarters of a million dollars short of a year ago, when the valuation in round numbers was fixed at one hundred and sixty-one millions. The preliminary hearing in the case of Emmanuel Rothchild, at Bedford, suspected of arson in burning his store for the insurance, came up before ’Squire Younger.

Chase and others addressed 1,500 old settlers at their annual meeting at Liberty, Jefferson county. The board of state tax commissioners the other day fixed the assessment of the express, telegraph, telephone and sleeping-car companies, by which about $7,000,000 is added to the tax duplicate. Exclusive of real estate structures, machinery, fixtures and appliances subject to local taxation within the state, a recapitulation of aggregates shows; Express companies, $1,225,890.75; telegraph and telephone companies, 82,976,925.25; sleeping car companies, 84,* 761,215. This is the first assessment since the supplementary tax law passed by the last legislature. The bill passed the senate on the last day of the session, the governor waiving his right to two days for inspection. Herein lies a technical ground for a question of legality, which the companies will take advantage of in contesting payment. Wm. Foster, a brick mason, was run over and terribly mangled on the L., E. & St L. railway in Princeton early the other morning. There was a destructive fire at Birdseye, fifteen miles from Huntington, the other night. Thirty-eight buildings were burned, including all the business houses, and seventeen families made homeless.
