be regret Hvl in one sense that it in not
n show idaee, for it is certainly one of
the moBt interesting and inviting places
on the World's Fair Grounds. It is
cool and breezy ; its main corridors
nnd reception parlors are decorated
with pott"d flowers and vines; cool
rattan furniture greets the cyo on
every hand, and in two of the larger
apartments are long rows of bras cots
clad with snow-white linen. Flitting
nliont the halls are quiet nnd soft-step-ping
nurse in cool linen garments
and anow-white caps. There ia an air
of stillness about the whole place
which invitea rest and conduces to
pence of mind.
'Hie medical bureau nnd hospital was
established ly the World Fair
managers to snppl v quick nnd prompt
medical attendance to all who miht
need it Among the vast throngs who
are expected to enter the gates. When
large gatherings of people assemble
there is plenty to do iu the medical
bureau. Accidents happen, people
nve overcome by fatigue ; sudden ill
ness appears often, which, while not
serious in the main, yet needs prompt
medical attention. The World' Fair
Hospital was especially designed for
prompt, but temporary attention. It
was not intended for cases involving
serious work of physicians, nor wns it
established with a view to continued
treatment ; it is simply a place for tho
application of quick remedies for im-

sot able to be removod are kept there
until they enn be removed, but
ordinarily affected persons are so
promptly and effectively treated that
they lire able to be taken to their own
homes or elsewhere before nightfall.

from fittigue and other cnusea were
brought to the attention of the bureau
in one day. Hince then the Keating
accommodations of the Fair have been
improved, visitors have beeu taught I
not to overtax their energies, and not
to go to tho Fair w hen not in excellent
physical condition, and the result is
thut applications for medicul nmis
tauce have not been ho numerous. On
the day when the Spanish Princess
visited the grounds, nnd when there
was nu ntteudn&ce of nearly 130,000
people, the duy being very warm nt
that, there were lesa thnu thirty cases
brought to the attention of the inedicu!
authorities. Quite a number of these
cases were those of Columbian guards,
roller chair pimple nnd other employes
round the grounds. Four or five
Indies v.ere brought in in a hysterical
condition, nu a result of overfatigue,
nud one muu wuh brought in with a
broken collar bone, and yet another
man hud his foot jammed under a huge
pnoking box. But these were the ouiy
onset) that were sot relieved iu a few
moment.
The hospital is situated in the south
ern end of what is known us the ser
vioe building, .Entrance is had through
the main gateway opposite festival
ball, theooe through a wide oourt to
tho southward, where, through a door
way decorated with potted plants, oue

Is ushered into the corridors of the
fool retreat. There are four or flvo
reception rooms divided by a wide
hallway running tho length of the
wing; at either end of the main hall
way are the two WAids, each fitted with
twenly-fonr brass cots. Both these
wards are models of cleanliness, and
are very inviting to the eye. To a per
son who comes from a two hours'
tramp over thn ground, just able to
drug one foot after the other, those
cool white cots w ith their snowy pil
lows have n very inviting look, and

mint julip or other beverage with two

lookiso tp tm con moon.
The physicians have also to do the
ordinary medical treatment of tho
many employes, and particularly, the
Colnmb'an guards. The doctor laugh
ingly said that one-half their practice
come from the Columbian guard ami
the roller-ehiiir men. Theroller-chair
boy particularly, oft"n require
prompt attendance because ot tho un
accustomed fatigue to which they nre
subjected. It may seem like great fun
to trundle n rolling chair around in
the sun for nu nulimite.l number of
hours, but Doetor Hillmautle say that
some of tha college boy have suffered
enormously.
The general public, nnless com
pletely prostrate !, o much o that
they have to b brought to the hos
pital in on nmbuhtm'c, are rarely seen
about the hosnit il. Few know any
thing of its existence, nnd unless seri
ously ill would not seek its benefits
anyhow. Those who nre brought in
are usually country people, most of
them women who have been overcome
by the heat, excitement or fatigue.
Hut the physicians all say this class of
patients i becoming fewer and fewer
in number. Doctor Hillmautle says
that the press has done a good work iu
warning people from excess of fatigue
nnd instructing them how to avoid it,
ami he hopes that the people will re
member nil thnt has beeu said, for he
anticipate with tho advent of ex
cessively hot weather much greater ac
tivity about tho hospital. He advises
people most earnestly not to attempt
to do too much at the Fair when the
mid-day nun is blazing down; he ad
vises tin people, too, to come to tho
Fair early in the day and avoid the ex
treme heat ; he suggest, moreover.that
visitors confine themselves during the
excessively hot weather to theexplora-
I tion of as limit 'd an ar-M as possible,
i ami to avoid exposure to the sun
whenever it cou be done.
Tho doctor make another sugges
tion which most people will ngreo
with, ond that is if visitors must cover
a much spa?e of ground in n day ns
they can, it should be done with quick
step. Dou't loiter or saunter, but in
going from point to point move
quickly; when standing around an
exhibit staud still ns much ns possi
ble, take it in with the eye rather than'
with the feet. Tho doctor say that
nothing so quickly produce fatigue
as the constant and deliberate move
ment of tho body's weight from one
foot to the other; hence tho alow,
sauntering walk which most people
practice at tho Fair, tires them out
beforo they are conscious of it.
ONK OP TKE KURSK.
Move quickly, step lightly and keep
the centrifugal action of tho leg con
stantly iu motion. These precautions,
the doctor says, with frequent rests of
half an hour or so, will enable one to
spend n w hole day at the Fair and come
home with a sound stomach and in a
Christian fnune of mine. What is
more, by such methods the people w ill
avoid the hospitul. Another thiug
thut the doctor suggests is a liberal
diet on tho Fair grounds. Muuy peo
ple come there after a light breakfast ;
they begin to get a little hungry, but
feel that it is too early to eat ; be
sides, they do not see a convenient
place. Next they begin to get tired
and the hunger ceases; then they get
a headache, and from that point to
complete collapse is not a long dis
tanue. The doctor's advice is to eat
whenever the impulse appears, no mat
ter what you may be doing, and keep
on eating if you feel like it whenever
you eome across a place. Even a bag
of popcorn is better than au empty
stomach. Another suggestion which
he inukes and this is perhaps as good
as uy in the ease of mothers let them
leave their children at home or ehoek
them in the proper plaoe as so much
baggage ; don't attempt to carry them
about the ground to the imminent
prostration of their own energies and
the irritation of others. Again, let all
very aged and iuttrui people remain at
home! their ambition tf see the
World' Fair may lie creditable to
their "youth and activity," but they
haven't the physical strength to stand
the strain. Again, let nil who do
pome preserve1 cheerfulness of disposi
tion, contentment of mind, full np
precintion of nil they ep, nnd let them
restrain any nnd every desire to kick.
Don't find fault; don't express any
disappointment nt anything ; be kind
to the Columbian guard and thn
rollar-rhair man and the other con
cessionaries. A proper observance of
all these Injunctions, Doctor Hill
mantle 'assures the public, will. jl'i
much to decrease the attendance at his
hospital.

A combination bii-yclc-perambulntor
made its appearance on Madison ave
nue tho other afternoon and elicited
tho heartiest condemnation of the
women folk who saw it. As a labor
saving device it may be a success, but
from a humanitarian point of view it
deserves tho attention of tho agents of
Mr. Gerry's society. Tho machine
was one of tho old stylo of bicycles, iu
which the small wheel was iu front in
stead of behind tho rider. The per
ambulator attached was a peculiarly
constructed little chair, slung directly
over tho small wheel.
In this chair sat nn infant, it feet
resting on wiro stirrups, nud a oorJ
about the waist holding the youngster
fast. Wherever the bicycle went its
infant pnsseuger had to go too, and in
case of collision tho fate of the little
outrider was not pleasant to contem
plate. Heated on tho big wheel was a
man, presumably tho father of tho
child, who drove the machine along
the smooth asphalt puvement of the
roadway and in nud out among the
vehicles at a pace that made peoplo on
the sidewalks hold their breaths with
fear for tho little ono perched out iu
front like a monkey ou the cowcatcher
of a locomotive.
Iu some of the smaller cities where
bicycles are ridden a great duul it is
not unoonnuou to soe thoperumbulator
attached to machines of the safety
type. In that case the child is within
easy reach of the rider, and with the
safety bicycle the danger of accidents
of every kiud is lessened. But the

Hut despite ad this Kentucky maintained

I never seceded from Puds Sam; though

Through all thene changes I remained what
wns known as a riouthern sympathiser. I
had been horn in on of the cotton Htntea,
where my people from the time ofthe Rev
olutionary War were born and had died,
snd I was prouder of bring a (Southerner
than I was of being an American. In fuct,

I ss thee s Southern sympathizer. With
11 my heart and soul I wanted the South to
succeed; I believed 'hat sbe wns rtt'lit, that
her cause was just, that the Ond of battle
would bear her cry and send to her ths vic
tory. It Is scarcely necessary for me to add
that since the war, like all other men in ot
Irom the South, I have changel my views.
I consider that slavery was a relic ot bar
barism, a manifestation of "msn's inhu
manity to n nn," n ''lighting curss to the
South and a disgrace lo the utfe melon;
while 1 as heartily rejoice i hut the South
did not succeed in disrupting the Union as
any man possibly can, not even excepting
those who donned the blim ami shed their
blood to prevent the catastrophe.
Three times did I sen the blue and the
gray in juxtaposition at least there were
three timns that i shall mention now. In
ths tlrst instance, the blue led way ami the
gray followed hard after: in th" second the
order was reversed the gray fled and the
blue hotly pursued them 1 shall navel
forget either of these Instances.
The former was my first view of a large
number of soldiers. It was just after (len
eral Nelson's defetit at the buttle of Big Hill
near lilclimond, Kentucky, by (ieneral
Kirby Smith, and (Imieral Nelson's army
was in retreat upon bouisville. It was the
hottest and dryest part of the year, and the
men had retreated about eighty milrs. a
large part of it on the double-quick. They
bad become thoroughly demoralized and
could not be brought to stand. The ofheen
would rally tbem to form a line; but no
sooner did the enemy appear on some
distant hill, than they would rush pell-mell
from their positions and start afresh
upon their unreasoning flight. They had
been chielly raw recruits and this bad been
their first engagement. For live or six hours
they streamed through our little village in
a continuous confusion officers, privates,
teamsters, horses, wagons, pieces of artillery
sll jumbled together and pressing forward
ss though death wero st their heels.

hung round them like a pall In ths motion
less air. The section of country through
which they were then passing was notorious
for its lack of water in tha summer time,
the farmers that season being compelled to
drive their stock six or eight miles back
from the highway to get them water.
Such suff ering ss that of ths fleeing sold
iers from heat, fatigue, thirst, hunger and
fear 1 never saw before, and may God pre
serve my sight from ever again beholding.
Three men lay down in my yard ami died
from c-xlmustion; wlulo dozens of tbem were
found bv the road-ide dead, the next day,
and were buried by a detail sent out from
fninavllle tor that titirDose. We gave them
every morsel to eat that w bad on the
place: we threshed bars a small apple or
chard srotind ths house snd gave tbem the
fruit. They drank dry two cisterns in the
?srd. Some of them discovered sud drank
he stagnant water that had accidentally ac
cumulated In an old ash barrel on tb
premises; and one poor wretch, maddened
with thirst, when not another drop of liq
uid could be found, wished thut 1 might be
a thousand years in hell without one sup of
water to cool my tongue. Thank Uod, In
our eagerness to aid them and In our sym
pathy with their su tiering, we never thought
to remember thut they wore the blus while
we sympathized with the gray.
