IN A BLAZE OF GLORY ANOTHER GREAT METROPOLIS ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. LOCATED ON THE PIKE

Are the "Galveston Flood," "Battle Abbey" and the "New York to the North Pole." (Correspondence of the Palladium.) St. Louis, May 19. Inside the limits of St. Louis has arisen suddenly as if in the night another great metropolis that bewilders with its surpassing beauty and compels the admiration of all who see it. One almost wishes that after the Fair this Capital of all expositions could remain standing even though its avenues and buildings, its pale halls and many-hued palaces were only peopled by the memories of the millions that passed through, and of the sound of the babel of tongues that rang out in the corridors of this gorgeous place of enchantment, for abode of enchantment it will be when its massive gates are thrown open to the nations of the earth. To use another simile, it is a flower, many-colored and exquisitely beautiful that has bloomed and in the heart of which are three petals that quickly wins the admiration of the visitor namely the buildings containing the "Galveston Flood," "The Battli Abbey," and the "New York t the North Pole." They are all located on what is called' "The Pike," the Midway of the Exposition, and are close together for the convenience of visitors. "The Galveston Flood" building contains a vivid illustration of the disaster which overtook this delightful Southland city and concludes with a picture of t lie reconstruction; the howling tempest, the thundering waves, hissing rain and the spiteful lightning accentuate a disaster for Galveston. Then when the tempest has done its deadly work, the waters recede, the winds becoine a breeze like that of a ladv's fan and the moon comes from her hiding place behind the clouds and we see a newer and more glorious Galveston. The realistic trip of "From New York to the North Pole," given in the "North Pole" building, tells in a graphic manner how a vessel starting from N ew York attempts to reach the Pole, but becoming jammed in the ice, the party of discoverers make a dash over it by sleds to their goal. A tank of real water, 150 feet long, 50 feet wide and 8 feet deep is required in this biggest of all water shows and one hundred men are used to operate the effects and machinery. Th opening scene shows the shipping in the North river at New York at. dawn animated and truthful. The steamer starts on her long voyage and as the coast is skirted all of the familiar sights on land are seen from the deck. Then the nose o the ves sel is turned toward the sea and soon she is but a speck on the wide expanse of water. She is next sighted in the high latitudes, ice is seen floating ly in the shape of huge icebergs. The wall of the eternal ice pack is approached and finally the daring adventurers find their ship in the grip of the Ice King.

It will contaain a vast museum of, some of them the most luxurious quar'iv. i- i. :i p r,t Iters are obtainable. The rates are es-

more important than that of the .Smithsonian Institute. In other words it is a war relic history of the United States beginning with the Indian wars, the French and English war, the Revolutionary Avar, the war of 1812, the Mexican war, the struggle of Texas for her Independence, the Civil war, Custer's last fight and that of the conquest of Spain's colonies by this country in the late Spanish-American conflict. These epochs are illustrated in tableaux. The most important conflicts being seen as follows: The Revolutionary war by the battle of Yorktown, the war of 1812 by the battle of New Orleans, the war of Texas for her independence by the battle of the Alamo, the Mexican war by the battle of Buena Vista, the Civil war by the battles of Gettysburg, a Federal victory and that of Manassas , a Confederate success, thus preserving an equipose of sentiment, and the Spanish-American war by Dewey's victory in the bay of Ma nila. In addition Mr. Charles Gunther, of Chicago, 111., has loaned the

"Battle Abbey" building his famous war museum formerly exhibited at the Libby Prison which is equal to !

the world wide famous war muse mi in Berlin and is of more historical value than the one now in the Smithsonian Institute in "Washington. EUGENE. WORLD'S FAIR HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS.

There are more than lo0 established hotels in St. Louis, and a signed agreement has been made between many of their managers with the Exposition officials that rates shall not be raised during Hie Exposition period. Many new hotels have been built on sites adjacent to the Exposition grounds, and the published fixed rates warrant the assertion that no one need pay exorbitant rates for accommodations either at hotels or private houses.

The rates, European plan, are from $1 to $3 per day.

All are within easy walking distance, and all are situated on high ground, with comprehensive views of the grounds. All of the structures are well built, and in j tablished and will not be increased durj ing the Exposition. Taken With the Goods. Sheridan, Ind., May 5.
