FROM THE WORLD’S FAIR. Interesting Notes from the White City by Our Special Correspondent. The Sunday opening is a failure. It is said that the gate receipts are not sufficient to pay the expense of the day. The world’s fair stockholders are becoming desperate. The attendance is so very small that thousands of dollars are sunk weekly. A young lady inquired of a guard for the nursery exhibit. The guard looked puzzled but soon brightened up. “Oli, the nursery department, t hat isn’t complete yet. It will be iu the Children’s Building. Ladies can check their babies in the morning at the Children’s Building and call for them in the evening. They will bo taken care of by young lidy nurses employed for that purpose. No one need fear the water on the fairgrounds. It goes through a process of purification before being placed in the tanks. Visitors who have become exhausted can get for five cents a fine cup of chocolate at the Walter Baker Cocoa exhibit east of the Manufacturers Building. Don’t spend your money on the side shows in Midway Plaisance. The greater number are “fakes.” The Libby glass works and Hageubeck’s animal show are exceptions. The man who inquired for “Midway Nuisance” bit the nail on the head. The electric fountains still continue to be a failure. Any one wishing to see the grounds in shape should employ a rolling chair. They will save money by saving time. Thousands of people are going on the grounds everj week and running from one end of Jackson park to the other and seeing nothing, simply because they do not know what they wish to see and have no one to direct them.. ’Tis music to the chair boy’s ear, ^hyjithe customer says: “Here boy son park. Your correspondent had the honor of accompanying about the grounds, on Tuesday evening, Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan. Senator Daws, of Massachusetts, was seen at the illumination Tuesday evening. The Hon. Fred Douglas and wife are often seen on the grounds. B alter McCool paces a beat in the Javanese village. The Spanish Princess Infanta Eulalia has arrived and will formally open the Spanish,exhibit Thursday. 11. G. M. Marriage of Mr Walter McCool and Miss Augusta Regenold. On Tuesday, the 30th of May, a very pleasant, event took place at the home of Mr. C. F. Regenold, near the little town of Florid, 111. It was the union of Air. Regenold’s daughter, Augusta, with 'Walter McC iol, of this place. The day was a charming one and the invited guests began to gather in the beautifully decorated parlor at aW eleven o’clock. An hour later the piano pealed forth the wedding march and ushers entered followed by the maid of honor, Miss Mabel Regenold, behind whom came Mr. Regenold with the bride, elegantly attired, leaning* upon his arm. At the moment the party entered the room the groom, his best man, Henry McCool, and the officiating pastor, Rev. J. T. Bliss, of Magnolia, 111., entered at the opposite side. The groom stepped forward, received his bride from the parents and conducted her to a place beneath a canopy of evergreen and wild cherry blossoms. At the close of the short but impressive ceremony the bridal couple and guests sat down to an elegant dinner, after which congratulations and a general good time followed. The bride and groom were presented with quite a number of useful and valuable presents from relatives and friends. To My Customei-s and Friends.

Sick Headache cured by Dr. Miles’ Nervine. Dorit \T~ou Know that you can secure al- * most immediate relief from Indigestion, and that uncomfortable fullness after' meals, by simply taking a dose of Simmons Liver Regulator ? Some people think that because it is called Liver Regulator it has nothing to do with Indigestion and the like. It is the inaction of the Liver that causes Indigestion, and that fullness; also Constipation, and those Bilious Headaches. Millions have been made to understand this and have been cured from these troubles by Simmons Liver Regulator—a medicine unfailing and purely vegetable. From Rev. M. B. Wharton, Baltimore,Md “It affords me pleasure to add my testimony to the great virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator. I have had experience with it, as occasion demanded, for many years, and regard it, as the greatest medicine of the times. So good a medicine deserves universal commendation.
