Chicago, Dec. 20.—The wheat market
opened steady and firm, but under some
realizing sold off 94c, after which it rallied
and became quite strong; the bull feeling and
movement in wheat is now stronger than at
any time on this crop; a great many believe
that the bulk of the surplus has already left
first bauds, and that the receipts will fall off
in the future; Liverpool was firmly held, hut
the market was easier; California wheat off
coast was 6d higher per quarter, and so was
American mixed corn by sail; the receipts of
wheat here were 256 cars, against 235 cars
yesterday. The present com market is very
unsatisfactory to everybody, and consequently
tberp is but little trading in corn as compared
with wheat; no one knows wliat will be done
this “year.” and the uncertainty in regard to
this option affects the whole business; the
small amount in store here invites manipu
lation of some kind; receip's continue light,
but it is thought that they will increase as
6ooa us the cold snap has dried out corn suf
ficiently to grade it; the receipts to-ilay were
100 cars. 26 of which were No. 2. Oats were

$5 A MINUTE PAID THE REV.
EIIEXD GENTLEMEN.
Cleveland’s Presence to Somewhat
Swell the Attendance at the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church—Creeds
of Former Presidents and Some of the
Shrines at Which They Worshipped.
Corrtspondance of the ilominj A'Vtr.j.
Tj AsniNGTON,Dec. 10.—The announce
ment 7hat President Cleveland is to at
tend the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church of this city directs attention just
now to a trio of reverennd gentlemen w9o
are to do the praying for this great gov
ernment in the next four years. It is
something of a stretch of imagination to
assume that the present Chaplains of
House and Senate are to do the praying
for those bodies during the four years to
come, yet it is pretty safe to assume that
they are each good for a two years term
in addition to the one they are "now enjoy
ing, for iney are popular with the mem
bers, and as there is no change in the pol
itics of the next House or of the Senate
in the next Congress, there is likely to be
no change. Not that there are not plenty
of applicants for these places. On the
contrary, there are.numbtrs of reverend
gentlemen watching them enviously at j
the present moment and wishing
they might be so fortunate as to
drop into this comfortable berth.
True, the position of Chap
lain only pays S9OO per year, but when it
is considered that the service only occu
pies about one and a half minutes per
day, or, in other words, that the reverend
gentlemen get the snug sum oi about $5 a
minute for their services, it is seen that
the place is rather a desirable one.
Indeed, there is usually a good deal of
rivalry for the places, and otten as many
as a dozen or more candidates. At the
last election of officers of the House there
were twenty-three candidates for Chap
lin. The present occupant ol that posi
tron, however. Rev. J. S. Lindsay, who is
rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church in
Georgetown, had many warm friends in
the city who electioneered stoutly for him.
Numbers of ladies, among them the mis
tress of “Stuart Castle,” Mrs. ex-Senator
Stuart, worked industriously for him,
driving about in their carriages and ob
taining pledges from members to vote lor
him. At the Senate the Chaplain, Rev.
E. B. Huntley, is quits as popular, and it is
therefore pretty safe to look to these, with
Rev. AV. A. Bartlett, as the triangular
official prayer gauge of the next adminis
ration.
REV. E. B, HUNTLEY.
The applications for pews at New Yt'rk
Avenue Presbyterian Church have been
very numerous since the fact that Presi
de* eland was to attend there became
known. “It really makes little difference
in our attendance, however, and will
make little difference,” said the pastor,
Rev. W. A. Bartlett, talking of the mat
ter, “for we have had all the people we
could accommodate all along, and might
have had many more if we could have
taken them. Every seat has been taken,
both on the floor and in the galleries, and
that too with people ot prominence here.”
“Do you find as many church members
aud church-goers in official life in Wash
ington as you expected?” was asked.
“Quite as many; more, indeed. 1 have
been surprised and gratified since I came
here to find so many Christian people in
prominent places in official and social
life. Why, do you know we have promi
nent society people in our church and
members of Congress who nefer miss a
prayer meeting? It's a fact. Often I
have known members of Congress to come
right from the House or Senate to the
prayer meeting, and ladies and gentlemen
who are prominent in society come irstto
the prayer meeting before going oat to
evening entertainments when they o;cur
on prayer meeting nights—going from the
church home to dress for the reception or
party, or whatever takes their attention
in the later evening. As to the Sunday
services, the church is filled with peopla
prominent in public life, as are many
others of the churches of the city. 1 speak
more especially of our own, because I
know more of it. AVe have had in the
past year four Cabinet officers and their
families, several Justices of the Supreme
Court, and as for army snd navy officers,
Admirals and Generals, and others of
prominence, the galleries are full of thorn,
as of Congressmen and their families.
Y’es, 1 am more than gratified with the
evidences of regard for Christianity among
the people who make and enforce the laws
of the naCion.”
“Have the Presidents generally been
church geers or religious men, d© you
think ?”
“Y'es. Many of them have been mem
bers of the ehtircb. and nearly all attend
ants and believers in their doctrines.
AATashiusrton was a devout member of the
Episcopal Church, and his pew is pointed
out at the old church in Alexandria,
where he used to attend. Jefferson at
tended St. John’s Church in Georgetown,
of which Dr Lindsay, the Chaplain of the
House, is novz rector. lie is understood,
however, to ’.re rather skeptical, having
imbibed some of these views in his long
experiences abroad. John the
third President, was, I believe, a Unita
rian, a member of the churcli. Madison
attended the episcopal Church, and was,
I think a communicant. Monroe was al
so an attendant upon the Episcopal
Church. John Quincy Adam s wasa Uni
tarian, but attended the ]’resbyterian
Church which stood on the spot where
ours now stands, and was a l„ruste-of the
church during a part of his
Presidential term. Jackson attended
our church until the pastor,. Mr.
Campbell, refused to take Mrs.
Eaton as ame mber. Van E uren art untied
the Episcopal Church. H arrison was a
Presbyterian, as is hisgrai idson, the pres
ent Senator from Indiana., who is ."..mem
ber of our church. Tyler, Taylor, Fill
more and I’olk all attenile and the Episcopal
Church. Mr. Pierce wa 9 a constant at
tendant upon our chur-cb, and was the
only one of the Presid* >nts who went to
prayer meeting. He was quite regular in
iis attendance upon th e evening prayer
meetings. Itzohanan at tended our church,
although not a memliei , and promised the
pastor. Dr. Gurley, ♦ hat he would unite
with the church and give his atieution to
religious matters aft* r retiring from office,
which promise he fa' .thfully kept. Lincoln
and Johnscu also both attended our
church, taking grej it interest In its work,
though not meml* jrs. Grant and Hayes
both attended t' ne Methodist Church
(Foundry thou? h not either of them
members. Garlif id was, as everybody
knows, a uiambej .■ of the Disciples Church
and once a preac her in it, while the pres
ent occupant of the White House attends
the Epucdgad ervice.”
REV. W. A. BARTLETT.
“What about the stories floating about
the country to the effect that you are a
personal friend of President-elect Cleve
land, and so bitter a Democrat that you
refused to mention Lincoln’s name in
your pulpit?”
“Ther# is not a word of truth in either,”
he smiled, “and 1 am glad to have the
opportunity to deny the last mentioned,
at least. I have no recollection of Grover
Cleveland, though 1 knew his famly well
and was a hoy with his elder brother. Of
coarse I did see him, often, but 1 cannot
remember him at all, as there was con
sideuble difference in our ages. As to
story, it is absurdly untrue, and
grows out oi a communication written by
some anonymous correspondent to one of
the city papers, complaining because, in
a sermon ui>on Washington, 1 did not
chance to mention tho name of Lincoln,
Instead ol being a bitter Democrat, as the
story alleges, I am, and always have
been, a Republican in sentiment, and
should have voted for Blaine at the last
election if I had had the opportunity,
though I don’t suppose that fact will at
all disturb the relations which are to ex
ist between Mr. Cleveland and myself.”
Mr. Bartlett’s Observation regarding
church goers and church members in
public life, is corroborated bv talks with
the chaplains of the Senate and House.
“I am gratified to find so large a number
of people in public life who are church
members and church goers,” said Rev.
E. B. Huntley, the chaplain of the Senate
and pastor ol the Metropolitan Methodist
Church, “I find a strongly marked feeling
of respect for religion as" a motive power
for good among public men generally.
■There are a number of church members,
too, in the .Senate. Mr. Edmunds, the
presiding officer of the Senate, is au ac
tive member of the Episcopal Church, a
member of its General Assembly, and a
devout man. He always says ‘Amen’ at
the end of the prayer, out loud too. Sena
tor Colquitt is a Methodist, while his col
league, Senator Brown, is a Baptist.
Senators Hampton and Butler, of South
Carolina, are, I am told, members of the
Episcopal Church, as is Senator Pendle
ton. Senator Logan is a Methodist. So
is Senator Warner Miller.”
Chaplain Lindsay, of the House, finds
his observation quite corresponding with I
tbose of the gentlemen mentioned above,
tjuite a large percentage of the House
membership he mentions as members of
churches, the fact having come incident
ally to his notice, in most cases, by the
voluntary statement of the members
themselves. “They often come to me
alter the services at the opening of the
House,” he said, “and talking ot this or
that subject, tell me of their church con
nections. Yes, I find my connection with
the House a very pleasant cue, and the
regard shown for Christianity very grati
fying, Only a dav or two ago I took a
friend into the gallery before the opening
services took place, and he told me after
ward that he was euprised to seethe indi
cation of respect aud reverence from the
large number of members present. There
are a good many active Christian
men among the members of the House.
Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, for instance, is a
member of the Episcopal Church and also
a member of the General Convention.
Mr. Breckenridge is a Presbyterian, hav
ing been, I understand, educated for the
ministry. Mr. Bagley is a member of the
Episcopal Church. Mr. Buckner, of Mis
souri, is a Presbyterian. Mr. Brodhead
is a member of the Episcopal Church, as
is Gov. Dorsheimer, too. Mr. LeFevre is
a Catholic, Gov. Long a Unitarian, Gen.
King, of Louisiana, an Episcopalian, Mr.
Money, of Mississippi, a member of the
Disciples’ Church, as is Mr, Willis, of
Kentucky. Mr. Murray is a 31ethodist,
Mr. May bury an Episcopalian, and a mem
ber of the Bishop’s Council. O'Hara, the
colored member is a Catholic, Poland a
Congrcgationalist, Gen. Rosecrans a I
Catholic, Randolph Tucker a Presby
terian elder, Mr. Scales a Presbyterian,
Mr. Sumner an Episcopalian, Mr. Vance a
Methodist and a member of the confer
ence, and Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia,
an active Baptist.
JtIEV. J. S. LINDSAY.
Mr. LmdAay, who is rector ot the Epis
copal church which the second President
of the United States, Jefferson, attended,
carries with hum to his House services
considerable of Ibe Episcopal forms, the
prayers being eaeA> day selected from the
collect and memorized for the opening
service. He of course omits the surplice,
but aside from this the service is in the
church form, the two brief “collects”
being followed by tlio Lord’s Prayer and
the brief benediction. Chuplain Huntley
of the Senate, who is a Methodist, lollows
no particular form, making h?s prayer
brief. The number listening to his open
ing services in the Senate is usually
email compared with those .'n the House,
where the attendance at the opening hour
Usually upebes pretty nearlj a hundred,
while inTue Senate it is olt’.n no more
than a dozen. Austin.
HUNTING A CHOLERA GERM.
An Exciting Chase f the Onlj Comma
Bacillus in TNls Country.
Dr. Edward O. Shakespeare, saps the
Philadelphia Press of Dec. 15, has the
only specimen ot the comma bacillv. , or
Asiatic cholera germ, in America. It is
eecurely caged in a glass far and the lid is
covered an iDch deep with sealing wav,
It is kept locked in a little- cabinet in Pr.
Shakespeare’s consulting-room. A few
days ago it was exhibited at a meeting cf
the Bounty Medical Society and its own
er was jokingly admonished not to let it
escape, as in the open air microbes are
said to mutiply at the rate cf 1,000,000 a
day. The comma bacillus was wagging
its tail in quite a lively manlier, as if
eager lor liberty. It beat its head against
the glass aud swam all around the jar
looking for some aperture hf which it
might regain the open air. lt> was cap
tured about three months ago in France.
During its confinement it has lived on a
piece of dned beef about the si jb of a pea.
Y’esterday morning Dr. Shakespeare
was entertaining a practitioner lrom
Pottsville, and as an intellectual treat he
offered to show him the only, cholera
aerm on this side of the Atlantic. At
first the country doctor lelt nervous, but
after a while his fears were overcome and
the jar was produced. Suddenly the
o wner of the microbe uttered an axclama
tion of surprise and alarm. The germ was
nowhere to"be found. The jar was emp-
ty.
“The durned thing’s escaped,” shouted
the man from Pottsville. Theu he add
ed with excitement: “What does it look
like?”
“For all the world like a tadpole,”
answered the doctor, breathlessly, hard
ly knowing why the question was put.
“Only smaller.”
In a moment the Pottsvillian’S head
was under the table. He panted out to
Dr. Shakespeare’s request to shut the
door and then commenced to scour the
room for the microbe.
“If the thing gets out,” he oaid, pale
with fright, “the cholera will be here and
it’ll be our fault.”
“I’ve got it,” suddenly cried Dr.
Shakespeare, who, while the hunt was
progressing, had returned to the bottle
and taken another peep. The microbe had
climbed up to the top of the jar and was
hidden in a crevice between the lid and
the neck.
The gentleman from Pottsville throw
himself back in a chair and took ten min
utes to recover his breath. Then he cau
tiously examined the object of his search.
“You’d better kill it,” be suggested.
“That’s a good idea,” the owner of the
germ exclaimed. Then wtth a powerful
chemical he deprived the dangerous or
ganism of life, so that his neighbors may
no longer be harassed with dread of its
getting its liberty.
Education of the Negro,
In considering the difficult problem pre
sented to us in the enfranchisement of the
negro, there is much cause for fear and
some little for hope from the following
facts: These facts the statesman and the
true philanthropist must regard as impor
tant in their bearing on this subject. No
one can realize the state and condition of
the newly imported negro but one who
has seen and known individuals, either
as freshly arrived or not long enough
among us to have lost the character of
the native African. It is not to be ques
tioned that the great majority of the
slaves, now freedmen and citizens, came
from the almost lowest race of negroes—
i. e„ from those inhabiting the shores of
the Gulf of Guinea before their conquest
by the higher races from the interior.
Only a few of these latter ever came here
through the bands of native traders visit
ing the higher races, living back from the
seacoast at the time. These have since
extended seaward. The descendants of
these tribes, some of which seem to be
almost on a level with the whites, admit
of great improvement, and furnished that
class of servants that existed in many
families of the slave-holding States and
those fierce, untamable individuals wbo
preferred death to slavery, or the life of
the wild animal in the swamps to the
comfort of the plantation life and its
restraints. For the men and w T omen of
these races we may hope much, and find
in them good, thriving, intelligent and
reliable citizens, but ot the others we may
in doubt ask. “Can the leopard change
his spots or the Etheopian shed his skin ?”
Time can settle this question, and time
only; so all we can do is to give the negro
every chance to show what ’he is and can
do for himself and for us. u,

Dec. 18.—SifH\e the
opening of the exposition the wea’her
has been extremely disagreeable. There
has been a good deal of rain and it is ao>v
damp and cold. The cold weather here#
while it seldom reaches the freezing
point, is about as uncomfortable as the
cold weather of the North. The visitors
have begun to wonder whether the
weather we have been having is a speci-
men of the winter weather here. They
are assured that it is not and that thev
may expect sunshine and balmy breezes
in January and February. The attend
ance since the opening has been very
small. This gives the exhibitors an op
portunity to get their exhibits in place.
There is no blockade on the rail
roads now and the exhibits are
arriving at the rate cf
75 carloads a day. The cotton exhibit,
which shows everything connected with
the cultivation of the piant, aud the pro
cess of baling and weaving into cloth, is
nearly ready. The catalogue, which is to
be printed in four languages, will not be
ready for some weeks. Siam has sent
specimens of cotton farming utensils,
weaving apparatus aud many other
things, including 100 varieties of colors
and styles in bathing suits, shawls, hand
kerchiefs, etc.
The exhibit of the work of colored per
sons. which is now being arranged, at
tracts considerable attention. It in
cludes paintings, a collection of original
music, agricultural implements, speci
mens of dental w ork, a patent car eleva
tor, a patent lamp and other patented ar
ticles, a collection of photographs, ma
chinery, line needlework, organs, topo
graphical drawings, literature and other
things, representing nearly all branches
of industry and the fine arts.
A great many of the States have not
yet opened their exhibits, and many of
the foreign exhibits have not yet arrived.
The exhibits of Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina are not yet iu place. It
is too early to give a general description
of what the exposition contains. A gen
eral description of the grounds and build
ings, however, can hardly fail to prove
interesting.
The Park, which covers nearly 300
acres of ground, is the old Voucher de
Circe plantation. The old house has
long since disappeared, but the avenues
of live oaks which led up to the colonial
mansion, once one of the finest in Louisi
ana, still remain, many of them over a
century aud a half of age. These forest
monarchs are always the most striking
features of a Louisiana landscape. Of
immense breadth—thirty or more feet in
circumference—they are low, but with
large branches, shading an acre or more.
The inevitable Spanish moss drapes their
boughs, and gives a picturesque relief to
their dark-green leaves. There are sev
eral hundred of these in the Park in
clumps and avenues, and, as they are
evergreens, they will prove an attraction
the entire winter. The gentlemen having
charge of the decorations of the grounds
have wisely concluded that they ought to
plant nothing put evergreens, and con
fine themselves mainly to tropical and
semi-trcpical plants. Ice is very infre
quent here in winter, and trees and
plants of this kind are seldom injured.
They have laid out a number of orange
trees, just now bearing their fruit,
and avenues of magnolia, japonica,
camellia, and similar winter blossoming
plants. The Mexican, Floridian, Califor
nian, and Central American gardens will
contain the best specimens of the flora of
these countries. There are very hand
some collections of maguey, agave, and
cacti of every variety from tne tiniest
dots to others as big as a hogshead. The
graceful coco.anut palms, the royal palm,
and the date palm are in abundance,
most ol them bearing their half-ripe
fruit: and there are, besides these y dus
ters of banana trees, giant and dwarf, fig
cseti, the cochineal plant, and nearly
every shrub grown in the tropics. The
grounds, fortunately, are the most ad
vanced portion of the work, and are nearly
completed.
the BxrosrnoN presents a pictures
que AND ATTRACTIVE view
from tbe river. This water front will be
a great advantage to it in every respect.
The great question of the hour is how to
transport to the Park tbe great crowds
expected to travel there daily.- There are
five street lines running iheve, but the
mule cars of New Orleans are small,
slow, and ebjectlonable in many ways.
The steam railroad from Canal street will
not be completed until some time to Jan
uary. In the meanwhile there promises
to be a terrific crush and crowding. The
only means of escape from this is the
river. From Canal street, the centre of ,
the city, to the dark is just six miles by ‘
the Mississippi, floats will run hourly,
stopping at all the principal avenues,
and as New Orleans is nearly all river
front, nowhere running over a mile hack
to the swamps, everybody can reach the
boats without difficulty. The water trip
will certainly be the most pleasant and
convenient mode of making this short
journey. It will give one an opportunity
also to obtain a panoramic view of the
city, especially attractive at night, as the
front is lighted by electricity throughout
its entire length.
From the levee in front of the Park is
obtained the finest view of the Mississip
pi in its whole |ceurse of 4,000 miles.
Just opposite, at Nine Mile Point, is the
old Zeringue place, the scene of Cable’s
picturesque story of ‘Belles Demoiselles-
Plantation.” Here the giant river pours
down on the land with such a force and
fur;* that it looks as if it would sweep
everything before it, and you wonder why
the feeble dyke on which you stand is not
carried by the boiling, eddying torrent be
fore you. On the opposite side are miles
ot cane, still green and luxuriant, the
finest orange and banana groves in the
State, the sugar houses, with their tall
begasse chimneys, looking like some
feudal castles, especially with the little
village of whitewashed "cabins clustered
around them.
IN "HE PARK) JUST By THE RIVER BANK,,
is the Mexican National Building. Mexi
co, by the by, is going to carry off of all
the foreign honors of the exposition. It
has-gone into it with great zeal and en
ergy. The streets of New Orleans are
thronged with Mexican soldiers. There
is a regiment of infantry here alreadv,
while the Mexican band discourses soft
Spanish airs to the New Orleans public in
the Music Hall. But wait, say los Mexi
cans, until their cavalry regiment comes,
every man of which is mounted on a horse
of the purest white. Then you will see
what the Mexican army is.
The great bulk ef the Mexican exhibit
will be in the main building. Several
dozen car loads of articles have already
arrived, and are in position. In addition
to this, however, Mexico has constructed
two additional buildings, one for the dis
play of its minerals, the other for speci
mens of its flora and fauna and as quar
ters for its troops. These buildings, as
far as architectural grace and elegance
are concerned, far exceed anything on the
grounds. The National Building is of the
purest Saracenic architecture, and is in
tended to represent on a grand scale the
residence of a rich Mexican gentleman.
There are four interior courts in terraces,
and here are displayed a handsome nat
ural-history collection of rare birds,
plants and animals. The exterior of the
building is floridly ornamented and color
ed in the richest of hues.
The Mexican Mineral Tower is one of
the most graceful buildings ever erected.
It is transportable, and will be taken
hence to the city ot Mexico for use in the
great exposition that our sister republic
hopes to hold at some early' day—for
Mexico is determined to follow with one,
which probably explains the great inter
est it is showing here and the handsome
display it is making. The Mexican
Headquarters, as it is called, stands im
mediately in front or the main building.
It consists ot a hall, capped by a tall oc
tagonal tower composed wholly of glass
and iron. The ironwork is intended to
represent the flora of Mexico—its vines
and plants and flowers—and is painted in
brilliant greens, golds, reds and similar
bright colors. The glass is colored, giv
ing the whole building an Oriental ap
pearance.
THE OTHER EDIFICES CANNOT COMPARE
WITH THOSE OF MEXICO
in architectural beauty. The main build
ing presents a very pretty facade, whether
seen from the river or the city. It is of
nearly a quarter of a mile front—relieved
from any barrenness or stiffness by tall,
graceful towers, which give it some re
semblance to the Louvre. The Govern
ment Building is very similar in its gen
j eral appearance. The most striking feature
! in each is its size. The main building
! claims the distinction—something in
; American eyes—of being the largest ever
| erected, covering about i>3 acres. The
I whole interior is free from obstructions,
1 except the Music Hall, in the centre,
jL-ong avenues stretch in every direction
anu the visitor who wants to see every
thing’ within has a promenade of over 20
miles erf aisles and avenues beforehim.
TU E GOVERNMENT BUILDING
is devoted To the United States exhibit; to
the collective State exhibits, to those
made by the railroads, and finally to
those known the “Colored Depart
ment.” A great effort has been made to
secure a handsome exhibit, that will dis
play the progress made by the negroes
since emancipation. A handsome sum
was subscribed from the exchequer of the
exposition for the purpose and every en
couragement held out. A great deal ol
o uuv. aa jivut ULU. U 1
i interest has been aroused btrt, as yet, the
i promise is not very good. The Louisiana
negroes will make a fine display, but from
m any of the States theie will come little,
if any, credit to the colored race, and
nothing to show much progresses their
part during the past two decades.
XUE HORTICULTURAL BUILDING,
the largest conservatory in the world, Is,
next tc the Mexican structures, the hand
somest in the Park. It is, of course,
nearly all of glass, with a tail tower ris
ii g in rite centre to a height of over 109
feet. A large pond is situated just below
this, and in its centre a very handsome
fountain. Like the grounds, the floral and
horticultunU display in this building is
largely tropical, the plants being main
ly those which need protection from the
weather.
The other buildings —The Art Gallery,
Machinery Annex, Saw Mill Building, and
the stock stables and arena are ordinary
structures of extra size but of no special
architectural attraction. The Art Hall
is a plafn iron building lighted from above.
The electrical display of the exposition
is one of its strongest and best features.
In this respect it Is very nearly, if not
quite, as full and complete as the electri
cal exhibition lately held in Philadelphia.
Every company encaged in the manufac
ture of electric lights has been given an
opportunity ol making a display. A dif
ferent building has been assigned to each
company. Thus the Edison Company 11-
luminates one; the Brush Company an
other, and so on throughout the list. The
plant to illuminate the?main building is
sufficient for a city of 25,000 people. On
the grounds are 10 electric towers of 25,000
candle power each and innumerable
smaller lights. In the centre of Lake
Hu named in honor of tbe wife of
President Diaz, of Mexico, standing above
a 100-foot fountain, is the largest electric
light in the world, one of 100,000 candle
power. An electric railway traverses the
grounds, crossing the lake and connect
ing the Main and Government Buildings.
In addition to these are all the recent in
ventions and discoveries in electricity.
ANOTHER SPECIAL FEATURE OF THE KX
POSIIION
is that known as the Woman’s Work De
partment, at the head of which is Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe. This is a pet project
of tbe managers and has received consid
erable support, financially and otherwise,
from them. All manner of articles made by
women are exhibited in this department in
order to show what the sex is capable of.
The galleries in the main building are as
signed to these exhibits, sewing, knitting
and art work of various kinds forming the
bulk of the display. This department is
very full and complete, as much so as any
in 'the exposition, each State or section
having its lady commissioners, while in
the Soutn there are commissioners for
each county. Theladies of the Northwest
have sent in some very large collections.
The hotels here are few and cannot con
veniently hold more than 5,000 people.
There is room for 15,000 persons in board
ing houses, and 25 ; 000 more can secure
rooms and board with private families.
The finest general exhibits are those in
drugs and medicines, hardware, agricul
tural implements, carpets, food products,
silks and ladies’ wear. The rival thread
companies have handsome displays. Each
ot them has a mill in full operation. The
exhibition ol machinery is very large and
there is hardly a foot in this portion of the
building which is not already occupied.
The Horticultural Ilall presents a very
fine appearance, and, although the ship
ments of Western fruits have not yet ar
rived, it fully compensates for them in its
tropical plants, flowers and fruits.
Most of the articles from Europe have been
shipped but have not yet arrived here or
are still at the custom house. The Mexi
can exhibit has been in the city for several
days but is held back by the freight block
ade, and while all the cases for the display
are ready the goods have not yet been un
packed. The Central American States
are more advanced than any other foreign
powers.
A COUNTRY FOR BACHELORS.
Where Wives are lteaily Helpmeets
for the Husbands.
T-ie city of Ascuncion in Paraguay is
a very nice little city. Not that it is
pretty or pretentions, or worth visiting—
but it is an enterprising, republican, go
ahead place. Most of the houses are
small and old, and are built without any
regard to being on the streets. You can
not imagine a more irregular assemblage
of houses, but the symmetry with which
the public buildings are built offsets this.
The President’s house, Government
House, arsenal, barracks and custom
house, stand on wide boulevards, and,
with the exception of the latter, are as
well built as the similar buildings in any
A inerican city of the same rank. Re

you that, though isolated, Paraguay is a
stafi i worth knowing. Situated in the
warm heart of South America, it lies
undi :r the shadow of the Sierras, and be

Appropriations are voted by Congress
and that body also fixes the salaries of
the officials. The President receives
$6,000; the Vice-President, $3,000; the
Ministry, $1,500; Congressmen, SSOO, and
the Judges of the Supreme Court, $l5O.
The population is about 300,000, anil what
is strange about it is that there are only
about 30.000 men and 270,000 women. Of
course, the tomales are the farmers, pro
ducers and laborers. They work slavish
ly and are very poor. While tbe men sit
at home and drink and smoke they inde
tatigably toil and support the families.
Giving Up Her Young Husband Just for
His Family’s Sake.
Washington Post.
Six years ago, while the Theatre Comi
que was under the management of Jake
Budd and John Rogers, a company of bal
let dancers was engaged, one of whom
was known as Frankie Christy. She was
short, stout and good looking, and was
an excellent dancer, and her graceful
manner and bewitching eyes captivated
the heart of Presley T. Jenkins, a young
cadet and the son ot an Adairal. She, on
her side, was willing enough to receive
his attentions. He was of good lamily,
and appeared to have mosey enough and
to spare. The intimacy between the two
increased, and he used to wait every
night to see her to her home. One night he
made a declaration of his love. Notwith
standing tbe difference in their stations,
rfnd the fact that Frankie was 40, as well
as fair and fat, while Jenkins was only in
his 20th year, she accepted him, and they
were married by Dr. Addison, an Episco
palian minister.
The sensation in society circles which
followed this announcement was like the
explosion of a bomb. The young man’s
family were astounded and shocked. They
were in a high station of life, and the fact
that the scion should have formed such an
attachment was too much for thsir sensi
tive nerves. The Admiral held several in
terviews with the actress, but without
effect.
One day, however, he went to her rooms
and laid the matter before her. He told
her that his son’s connection with her
woujd ruin not only his own prospects in
life, but those of his family, and implored
her for the sake of the love she professed
for him to renounce him. “He has a sis
ter,” said the old officer, “whose engage
ment will be broken off if you do not do as
1 wish.” The reply she made recalls that
of “Camille,” under similar circum
stanced.
“Sir,” said she, “1 can see that I can
never be received into your family. 1 had
intended to renounce the stage and my
E resent life, and try to live differently;
ut it seems no matter what‘l may do, I
can never gain your esteem. I see this
young man has made a mistake, and I
will not compel him to suffer for it. I
will leave the city and go back to the
stage; but you must never let your son
see me again.”
The same night she went West, where
she has since lived. Yesterday the tie
which bound the two was legally sepa
rated, a divorce being granted on the
ground of desertion. When last heard
from she was dancing in a variety theatre
at Butte City, Montana.

HOA GEE CHUNG.
The Dark V> ays and Vain Tricks of a
Chinese Actor.
The joke of ler the last two
weeks, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
has been the way iu wb.'ch the celebrated
Celestial actor, Hoa Gee who was
arrested and placed in change of J. J.
Maloney, put another Chinatu an in his
place. Hoa Gee Chung is the Mo ngolian
who came on the Arabic on her last trip,
and without a certificate landed, gohfg' on
shore in the clothes of the steward, with a
tin pail in his hand. Carroll Cook, with"
Maloney, the amateur detective, went
the Chinese theatre several weeks ago and
arrested Hoa Gee Chung. The prisoner
was left in charge of ilalonev while Car
roll Cook went after a hack to convey the*
actor to the Commissioner's office. While
the amateur detective was swirling his
moustache and “orating” to the astonished
Orientals, Hca Gee Chung stepped to*
one side and an obscure coolie took
his place. The substitute was taken
to the .Commissioner's office and
released on bail. Conclusive evi
dence was prepared to show that be was
not Hoa Gee Chung, the actor, and on
that ground his friends intended to ask
lor his dismissal. The farce .hat the
actor had played at the expense of Ma
loney was reported to Carroll Cook, who
had the trial ot the imposter postponed till
he could secure the arrest of the right
man. Last evening, in company with a
number of Chinatown detectives,"he went
to tbe Chinese theatre on Jackson street,
and, with a diagram of the dark passages
in his hand, he found his wav to a little
room above the theatre, where Hoa Gee
Chung was dressing in a most elaborate
costume for the play. The actor was ar
rested. In a moment the room was
crowded with jabbering Chinese, but Mr.
Cook kept his grip on Hoa aud took him
to the Commissioner’s office, where the
actor admitted that he was the man who
escaped from the Arabic.
