    HOW TO SEE THE FAIR
BAXTER'S ITINERARY FOR A DAY AT
JACKSON PARK.
Good Advice For Those Whose Time Is
Limited and Who Wish to Make the
Most of It —Get a Knowledge of General
Features First.
Many people just now are seeking Infor
mation about the best way to see as much
as possible of the big fair in a short time.
The great majority have but a few days to
spend there, and how to spend them profit-
ably is a matter about which they would
like to bo advised. How difficult it is to
advise them no one realizes half so well as
a person who has been on the ground from
the beginning. The mors one knows about
it the less possible does it seem that any
thing like an adequate comprehension of
its wonders can be obtained in a few short
visits. Yet people who have time only for
a few visits are still further handicapped
by not knowing definitely where to go and
what to look for, and an itinerary for them
from one who knows whereof he speaks
ought to be of some benefit.
Suppose a man enters the Midway plai
sance at Its extreme western gate, in Cot
tage Grove avenue. He will see before him
an avenue a mile long and COO feet wide,
ROTUNDA IN GOVERNMENT BUILDING,
with a''covered walk down the center, and
on either side a most remarkable aggrega
tion of curiosities—human, architectural
and scientific. These are the "villages" of
the plaisance of which so much has been
written and said. In them the life, man
i ners, industries and amusements of all
\ sorts and conditions of men are shown
forth, and a man may learn here more of
these things than he could by a journey to
the ends of the earth.
At the eastern end of tho plaisance, after
passing under the Stony Island avenue via
ducts, tho visitor finds himself before tho
Woman's building, with Horticultural hall
on his right hand as he looks toward the
east and a long vista of state buildings on
his left. It will be best to start with an in
spection of Horticultural hall, unless you
are a botanist or florist, or in some way
particularly devoted to plants and flowers,
In which case you had better leave tho Hor
ticultural building to bo visited later, for
you will never bo able to tear yourself
away. The viticultural exhibit is in the
south wing and the rose garden on the
wooded island just across the lagoon, and
if you do not wish to return to Horticul
tural hall you had better see them on your
first visit.
Next in order is the Woman's building,
' * although if you area woman or have a wo
man on your arm you will have gone there
first in spite of directions. Mere man, es
pecially if alone, ought not to enter here in
any spirit of irreverence. In fact, if he be
at all thoughtful he cannot, for this build
iug for the glorification of woman was
planned by women, designed by a woman,
decorated by women and has been a'to
gether under the control and managemeno
of women from first to last, and it is one of
the most imposing and handsomely fur
nished structures on the grounds.
When you leave the Woman's building,
step over and see the collection of dolls,
hobby horses, rockers, cradles, swings ami
other toys provided for the amusement of
the children in their own building. If you
have one or more with you, they can lie left
here with the certainty that they will be
well cared for until your return, and they
will probably prefer such an arrangement
themselves, rather than to bo subjected to
the ordeal of inspecting so much that is
beyond their comprehension.
the north of the Children's building is
wie semicircular avenue between the build
ings of the various states, which we have
not room even to enumerate here, but which
the visitor will have no trouble in finding
for himself. The foreign powers are all
represented in this end of the grounds also,
and over in the extreme northwestern cor
ner is the Eskimo village, sealskins
will be in fushion all summer. The great
center of attraction at the north end, how
ever, is the 5-acre Art building, which will
require at least a day for the most cursory
inspection. The Fisheries building comes
next, and then the curious brick and mor
tar battleship Illinois, which every one will
want to see.
If you think you can bo satisfied with a
glance around the United States Govern
ment building, you might go there next.
But if time is an object you must beware
or you will be coaxed by curiosity into lin
gering, for from the section of one of Cali
fornia's giant trees in the rotunda to the ex
hibition of postage stamps everything is of
interest. But you have the largest building
ever erected to visit yet, the Manufactures
building, and after that the Electrical pul-
NAND CONCERT IN ADMINISTRATION PLAZA,
ace, the Mines and Mining, the Transporta
tion and the gem of the whole architectural
display, the Administration building, with
its glorious outlook over tho main basin
and through the peristyle to the lake be
yond. Then you may want to listen to the
band concert in Administration plaza or
to attend a performance at Music hall, over
at one end of the peristyle, or to get a lunch
at the other end in the Casino.
Then the Agricultural building must be
seen and the Forestry building, the leather
exhibit, the dairy, the stock pavilion, the
Iranian village of the ethnographical dis
jjfsy, the live stock sheds and Herr Krupp's
gun works. After that you will probubly
be tired enough to go down on the pier or
% over to the railway station und leave fcr
borne. C. T. BAXTER.
Mamma Did It.
said the youngest Miss Budd
"The World's fair"
"Don't talk to me about the World's
fair," interrupted the old man. "I'll not
listen."
"But—papa," pleaded the sweet girl, "it's
so wonderful—so instructive"
"So nothing," retorted papa; "crowded
cram ped—uncom fortable''
"Shall I get you a book of synonyms?'*
asked Mrs. Budd smilingly from the cor
ner as her husband hesitated for a word.
"No," reared the old gentleman. "No
won't have it."
There seemed to be some doubt as tc
what he wouldn't have, so the brave girl
renewed the attack.
"It won't cost"— she began, when again
she was interrupted.
"It isn't a matter of cost," cried Mr.
Budd; "not the question of a few hundred
paltry dollars—not that. It's the trouble,
the care, the nnisance, the bother of the
whole thing, the nerve destroying, sight
seeing accompaniment. No, my dear," he
added placidly, "tho thought of money
does not enter into it. It is for your own
welfare that I object."
"But it would be so nice to travel in n
private car," sighed the girl, "and mamma
would like it so."
The old gentleman stood aghast. "Pri
vate —car," he repeated slowly.
"Yes," cried the youngest and sweetest
of the family. "Mrs. Trotter, whose hus
band is president of the A., 8., C. and 0.,
has invited us to go with her in their jwi
vatacar and see everything without costing
a cent. I wish we could go."
"Go!" ejaculated tho heal of the family.
"Are you all crazy? Go? Why, of course
Who said anything about not going? What!
Miss the opportunity of your lives when
such advantages are offered? Write tc
Mrs. Trotter at once and accept."
"Mamma did," whispered the smiling
Kill.
"And mamma did right," said pater,
beaming at his own joke. "It will be glo
rious. I have wanted to see the wonderful
exhibition of thenge-reh—by the way, does
the invitation include me?"
"No," came the soft answer from his wife.
—Harper's Bazar.
A Surprising Answer.
The following dialogue contributed by a
bright young schoolmarm of rural New
England shows how much more clearly
Young America's mind can grasp a point
of fact than any point involving the "divine
right of kings." The third class in geog
raphy, numbering one pupil, was reciting.
Teacher—What is the most western cape
in North America?
John (promptly)— Cape Prince of Wales.
"Do you know why that is called Cape
Prince of Wales?"
"No, ma'am."
"Did you ever hear of England, John?"
"No, ma'am."
The globe is produced, and some time
spent in locating England on it and on
John's mind.
Teacher (with enthusiastic desire to add
another fact to John's scanty supply)—
Over there the people don't have a presi
dent; they have a king, or if the ruler hap
pens to be a woman she is called the queen.
There is a queen in England now, and the
oldest son is always called the Prince of
Wale 9. Now, John, tomorrow who will
you tell me that cape is named for?
John (confidently)— Miss King's oldest
boy.—Youth's Companion.
The Wrong Woman.
Two well dressed women, whoso kinship
could be traced at a glance, entered a shop
the other day And took seats at the silk
counter. The assistant had scarcely com
menced his weather report when one of the
women said:
"It is my duty to warn you that my sis
ter is a confirmed kleptomaniuc, and that
you must watch her closely."
After alittle while the "klep" moved along
to another seat, and the assistant felt it
his duty to give her his most vigilant atten
tion. Twenty minutes' time was consumed
and no purchase made, and as the woman
left the shop the assistant fluttered himself
that the little woman with the Grecian nose
had tried it oil the wrong merchant.
"What made you watch that person so
closely?" queried a lady who had observed
most of the maneuvering.
"Kleptomania," he whispered.
"Is that so? Why, I should have thought
the other one needed your eyes most."
She had taken 80 yards of silk and £3
worth of fringe.—Tit-Bits.
Not a Strange Preference.
An impecunious man stood at the corner
of one of tho Jersey City cross streets dur
ing tho recent bad weather, watehing a
brakeman as bo helped to shunt a freight
train into one of the great car yards. The
roofs of the cars were slippery and wet, the
brake wheels looked cold, the brakeman
had a red nose, watery eyes and a general
appearance of discomfort, and he looked as
if he had been out all night. Turning to a
bystander who was also waiting for tho
train to pass, the impecunious one re
marked as ho looked up at the dejected
and grimy figure, "On the whole I think
I'd prefer to be n banker."—Argonaut.
A Moving Tale.
"Are you going to move this spring?"
asked Mrs. Brown of her friend, Mrs.
Green.
"Oh, yes. We want a more convenient
house and u better neighborhood, so wo are
going to take the Smiths' house."
"Why, they live next door."
"Yes, it will lie quite convenient."
"I thought they were going to stay."
"No, they wanted better accommoda
lions."
"Y'ou will miss them."
"Oil, no. They have taken this house."—

A Great Idea.
Barker cannot afford a hired man and a
nuroegirl; neither does he care to mow his
lawns himself. He is ingenious, however,
and is about to take out a patent on his

FREEHAND TRIBUNE, MONDAY, MAY 29, 1893.
WASHINGTON'S MOTHER.
Something About Her Monument and the
Only Authentic Portrait*
The ladies of the National Mary Wash
ington Memorial association have recently
been able to congratulate themselves upon
a great increase in the interest manifested
by the general public in the object of their
organization, and it is quite probable that
it will not l>e long before they obtain the
few thousand dollars necessary to complete
their nxmument to the memory qf the
mother orThe immortal George. The first
exhibit placed in tho Woman's building at
the World's fair was a model of the pro
posed monument, and it is expected that
one result of its exhibition will be a great
increase of incoming funds.
MERTMULLKIt'B PORTRAIT OF MARY WASH
INGTON.
It is a reproach to the American people
that some memorial to Mary Washington
has not been erected. One was begun as
long ago as 1888, but was never finished,
although congress toqjc a transitory interest
in the matter, and the senate twice passed
a bill appropriating $20,000 for the purpose,
which was never ratified by the house. The
present association was organized in 1880
and proposes to erect a granite obelisk 59
feet high in place of tho monument begun
so long ago and to inclose and adorn the
burial place and provide for an endowment
fund for the preservation of the memorial.
The association has had life membership
medals struck, which may be obtained on
the payment of $25 and which are to descend
in the female line from the subscribers to
their daughters and granddaughters, whose
privilege it will be to preserve and perpetu
ate the work done by the association.
A curious fact has been made public late
ly about the pictures that have been pub
lished as those of Mary Washington. It is
asserted on the authority of a distinguished
antiquary that they are not portraits of her
at all, but of Dolly Madison. The gentle
man who said this did not think there was
a portrait of Mary Washington in existence,
but one lias been discovered that seems to
bo genuine. It is the property of Judge
Townsend of New York city and was
painted by Mertmuller, whose portrait of
Washington is well known and must have
been done about the same time.
The painting is about 20 inches square
and represents a woman of about 60 years
costumed in a gown of the latter part of
the last century. The full face is remarka
ble for its character and presents a striking
evidence of the genuineness of the portrait
by its resemblance to the well known face
of Washington. There is tho same mouth
and brow and the same sereneness of the
eyes, and no one who looks upon tho pic
ture will find it difficult to tell whence
came the firmness and good judgment of
the Father of Mis Country.
IDAHO OPALS.
Rich Fields of Gems Found In the Owyhee
Mountains.
To the mineral wealth of Idaho—long
known to be rich in gold, silver and copper
—have been added by recent discovery vast
deposits of opals and other precious stones.
When the discovery was first announced, it
was suspected to be a boomer's trick, but
investigation confirmed the news, and
many valuableopnls have since been found.
They vary from the size of a pea to that of
a small acorn, and their value ranges all
tho way from $7 to S4O a carat, some of
them having been sold at the latter rate.
New York experts have pronounced them
excellent, and capitalists from there and
many of the other largo cities of the coun
try are already upon the ground looking
for chances to invest their money.
The rush of prospectors has been sufficient
to start an incipient city. It has been named
Opaline, and the population increases every
day. It is a city of tents and is situated in
the foothills of the Owyhee mountains,
about 20 miles from Silver City. The site
is a beautiful one, and the neighl)orhood
abounds in hot springs, the water of which
will boil an egg, and there is an ice cold
spring that supplies the town with drink
ing water. The traces of volcanic action
in the region are abundant. Marks of great
heat are to be seen everywhere on the rocks,
and lava is plentiful. '
SQUAW CREEK CAMP.
Opals aro found imbedded in the rock
like raisins in a cake, only not as plentiful
as most people prefer the fruit. They are
scattered about at haphazard and not ac
cording to any special plan. They are ob
tained by blasting or breaking the rock
with a hammer, and great care must be
exercised lest they be shattered. Each
gem is inclosed in a stone matrix thatmust
be cut aw \y before its beauty can be seen.
The ent '■' district in Idaho where opals
are minef* li designated Opaline in a gener
al way, though there are several distinct
camps. One of the most notable is Squnw
Creek camp, just over the ridge from Opal
ine. It is named from a creek that gushes
forth as a spring from the heart of a moun
tain near by. Several valuable specimens
have been found there, and the claims are
fast being located by prospectors.
This Marriage WHS a Lottery.
A Boston clergyman recently performed
the marriage ceremony for a couple of
strangers, after which the groom handed
him a sealed envelope supposed to contain
the usual compensation. The happy couple
departed, and the reverend gentleman
opened the envelope and found the follow
ing note: "If she turns out as well as I think
she will, I will come back and pay you fur
your services.*
Saved by Ills Wit.
Although it is a familiar saying that an
Irishman is always spoiling for a fight, still
there is one kind of fighting to which even
the brave sons of Erin are sometimes averse
—that is dueling. A story well illustrat
ing this fact has recently come to us.
A certain Irishman, having been chal
lenged to fight a duel, accepted the con
ditions after much persuasion on the part
of his friends, who felt confident of his suc
cess. His antagonist, a lame man, walked
on crutches.
When the place for the shooting had been
reached, the lame man's seconds asked that
he bo allowed to leau against a milestone
which happened to be there. The privilege
was allowed, and the lame man took his
stand. V
The Irishman and his seconds drew off to
the distaue'e agreed upon—lo'J feet. Here
Pat's courage suddenly failed him, and he
shouted to the lame man:
"I've a small favor to ask of ye, sorl"
"What is it?" asked the cripple.
Pat answered, "I touhl ye thot ye might
lean agin the mile post, and now I would
like the privilege of leanin agin the nixt
one."
The laughter which followed spoiled
everybody's desire for a fight, and the whole
party weut home without a shot having
been fired.—Youth's Companion.
Ills Name.
A colored man once sued a neigh one for
damages for the loss of his dog, which his
neighbor had killed. The defendant wished
to prove that the dog was a worthless cur,
for whose destruction no damages ought to
be recovered.
The attorney for the defense called one
Sam Parker (colored) to the witness stand,
whereupon the following conversation en
sued:
"Sam, did you know this dog that was
killed by Mr. Jones?"
"Yes, sah; I war pussoually acquainted
wid dat dog."
"Well, tell the jury what kind of a dog
he was."
"He war a big yaller dog."
"What was lie good for?"
"Well, he wouldn't hunt, an he wouldn't
do no guard duty. He jes' lay round and
ate. Dat made 'em call 'im wat dey did."
"Yes. Well, what did they call him?"
"Well, sah, I don't want to hurt yer ftel
in's,Rßut an I is mighty sorry yo' ax me
dat, sah, but de fack is dey cull 'im 'Law
yer,' sah I" —New York Mercury.

think will create a sensation in the literary
world. I have tried to throw into them the

tragic pathos of human life.

ing over the pages)—H'm! Afraid that
sort of stuff won't go any more. Nothin in

you let us print it in our funny column as

Her Spotted Dear.
Two young ladies were examining the
animals at the zoo last Sunday.
"Oh, what a beautiful spotted deer!"
The other woman bowed her head and
wept.
"Why, what is the matter with you now?"
"You don't know how it hurts my feel
ings to have you talk about spotted deer.
I once had a spotted dear."
"You had?"
"Yes. My dear was a tram car conductor,
and we Were going to get married, but the
company spotted him, and my dear had to
resign his position, and ever since I have to
cry whenever 1 hear anybody talkingtibout
a spotted deer."—Tit-Bits.
For His Own Convenience.
A lady in Hong-Kong engaged a Chinese
cook. When the Celestial came, among
other things she asked his name.
"My name," said the Chinaman, smiling,
"is Wang Hang Ho."
"Oh, I can't remember all that," said the
lady. "I will call you John."
Tho next morning when John came up
to get his orders he smiled all over, and
looking inquiringly at his mistress asked:
"What is yonr namee?"
"My name is Mrs. Melville Langdon."
"Me no memble all that," said John.

MINISTER TO PERSIA.
Alexander McDonald 1h Another Newspa
per Man Who Has Been Honored.
Alexander McDonald, who has been ap
pointed by President Cleveland minister to
Persia, is an experienced newspaper man
and is quite certain to prove a worthy rep
resentative of the United States govern
ment at Teheran. Mr. McDonald is a mem
ber of the Virginia
at ""V state senate and
f was for many years
L editor in chief of
the Lynchburg
IflfeS Virginian. He was
rw a commissioner to
. the Vienna expo-
Bit ion and a spe
c* a K en t °' the
c United States at
the Paris exposi
tion. Hehastrav
.r., ~ elec * extensively,
ALEX M DONALD. having visited Eu
rope several times. As a newspaper writer
he wielded a trenchant pen, and while al
ways a strong party man he never forgot
to be fair. Mr. McDonald is tall and fine
looking. His manners are courtly, and his
conversation, thougli not didactic, is made
interesting by the immense fund of infor
mation which he has stored up in his mind.
The Persian mission is not a particularly
attractive post for a diplomat, and when a
man applies for it it is quite certain that
he possesses a taste for travel and adven
ture. Teheran is reached only after a to*
dious journey over rough roads by means
of di vera forms of conveyance, and even aft
er one gets there he finds very little that is
agreeable to an American except the nov
elty, which is about the only thing a stran
ger gets free in any part of Persia. Hut
there is a great deal of novelty, and as a
result nearly every minister sent by the
United States to the country of the shah
has made one or more interesting contribu
tions to magazine literature based upon
his observations.
The shah of Persia is a great present giv
er, and he is also addicted to the present
receiving habit. It can therefore not be
money which tempts a man to become the
representative of his country in Persia, for
the expensive gifts which he is expected to
give the shah in return for the very ordi
nary ones received cut a rather big slice
out of the small annuul salary of $5,000 at
tached to the position. Outside of the so
cial duties the minister has little else to do
but listen to complaints of missionaries
and write accounts of anything interesting
to his government or the magazines.
Still many persons havd long held to the
opiniou that with a representative who will
zealously watch for every opportunity to
establish intercourse with Persia the Unit
ed States might be greatly benefited by
means of concessions, etc. On the other
hand, it must be borne in mind that the
shah's word is not valued above par even
in his own country, duo to the fact per
haps that while he is always willing to
grant concessions when in a particularly
ecstatic mood he has an embarrassing habit
of revoking whatever he has promised
while the grantee is away on a capital rais
ing mission.
Mr. McDonald is said to be greatly im
pressed with the possibilities and resources
of Persia, and it is probable that within
a few mouths he will shed new light upou
both in his reports to the government.
THE BRITISH IMPERIAL INSTITUTE.
A Lasting Memorial of Queen Victoria's
Golden Jubilee.
It is said that Queen Victoria announced,
prior to her attendance at the recent formal
opening of the British Imperial institute,
that it would be her last appearance in
public. Whether this was of the uature of
a Patti farewell or not remains to be seen,
but the occasion was certainly surrounded
THE IMPERIAL INSTITUTE,
by pomp and circumstance enough to make
it memorable. The royal family and the
royal household were out in full force, and
there were princes, dukes, lords, equerries,
sticks in waiting and grooms enough with
their female counterparts to found a pop
ulous colony on some desert island if Eng
land should suddenly get tired of taking
care of them.
It will be remembered that the laying of
the cornerstone of the Imperial institute
was one of the principal events of the cele
bration of the queen's jubilee in 1887. The
Princo of Wales is credited with conceiving
the idea. The cost of construction was de
frayed by subscription from all the British
colonies and from individuals throughout
the empire. It was designed not only to
illustrate the industrial and commercial re
sourcesof the colonies and India and todif
fuse a knowledge of their condition and
progress throughout the United Kingdom,
but also to afford all classes opportunities
to become acquainted with the develop
ment and extension of the natural, indus
trial and commercial resources of the three
kingdoms themselves and to advance the
industrial and commercial prosperity of the
country by the active promotion of technio
al and higher commercial education. It
was to be at once a museum, an exhibition
and the proper locality for the discussion
of colonial and Indian subjects.
The institute covers an urea of nine acres.
The square central tower is 280 feet high.
The actual length of the main building is a
little more than 600 feet, but it was con
nected with arcades left standing after the
international exhibition of 1874, thus mak
ing a total frontage on one long line of 900
feet. The cost of the building was nearly
$1,000,000. The architecture is renaissance,
and Thomas E. Colleutt was the architect.
Stately chandlers have been assigned to
the different colonies, the American and
Australian being in the west wing and the
African and Indian in the east wing. There
will be kept on exhibition in the galleries
samples of all the products of every part of
the empire, and a commercial intelligence
department already has its headquarters in
the building. There are fellows of the in
stitute, elected by the executive council.
An annual subscription secures for them
the use of the library and reading rooms,
and there are special rooms set apart for
their comfort much the same as at a club.
Curious If True.
It is said that a recent decree prohibits
any Belgian from capturing, destroying,
buying or selling frogs, whole or in part,
except that those raised for the French
market nmy bo sent to France, and scien
tific men may buy them for experimental
purposes.
