A Worlds Fair Letter:
Written for the Medford Mail.
Chicago, Sept. 19, "93.
It seemed to me that a highly proper
way to visit the exposition planned to
commemorate the glories of Columbus'
voyage, wa9 by water; I therefore
boarded the magnificent passenger
steamei Christopher Columbus, which
by the way, is a veritable floating pal
ace, and sailed away, with my uusea
wortby mind as much purturbed as was
that of the famous voyager when he
embarked from Palos.
Shortly after leaving; the wharf you
pass a colossal statue erected bv the
! generosity of one of Chicago's citizens.
on the spot where less than forty years
ago an entire iamuy were massacred by
the Indians. Turning' from the city
with its endless blocks of stately build
ings, smoking chimneys and other evi
dences of commercial grandeur, you
gaze, and watching the sailsof the lake
craft whitening in the horizon, wonder
if Columbus' ships looked as they do.
Presently, as the smoke of the city and
mist of the Jake roll away your eyes
behold the palaces, temples and towns
of the far fumed White City. A little
girl at my side expressed what many
must thiuk hut would hardly utter, "It
looks like Hoaveir." Certainly there
is nothing on earth with which to com
pare it and tnaturer minds than the
child's might be excused for venturing
into celestial realms for a metaphor.
As you sail by the weird and beautiful
scene you have time for contemplation,
and in rapture you exclaim to yourself:
Did there ever come to Columbus' sick
and fevered brain as he luy on his bed
of pain in the convent of La Ribida. or
lo his troubled sleep amid the darkness
and danger of his tempestuous voyage
with a mutinous crew, or weighed
down with chains inhis dungeon prison,
a vision of this rcene of splendor to
ffive solace to his poor, sorrowing soul?
What if the future had been opened to
him, and, as he looked out into the
darkness of the night from bis lonrlr
watch on the Santa Maria, the sight
of prophecy came to him aud bis vision
rested on this scene of beauty! But we
have reached the landing- and strug
gling out with the crowd, are brought
down from a flight of fancy to the real
ities of earth. You enter the turn
stile and pause to look at the Columbus
caravels, facsimiles of the ships in
which Columbus sailed. From the
mastheads wave the banners of Arra
gon and Castile. Right here, if you
are a woman, your pride asserts itself,
for you remember that it was a qceex
who fitted out this armament, nw and
forever embalmed in historic elorv.
and you fee! that thjs continent belongs
to your sex by right of discovery. You
give a hasty glance to the biking ship,
a puny craft, but little larger than an
ordinary row boat, yt built so true to
the correct principles of naval archi
tecture, that Capt. Anderson and his
venturesome crew have crossed the
ocean and half of the continent in it.
and demonstrated that America might
have been discovered by his Norse an
cestors. Now you pass on through the
Arch of Triumph, and stand in the
Peri-stile, On every side rise the tri
umph of the architect's and artist's
skill. Directly in front, the beautiful
administration building, to the right
the famous French statue of the lie
public, towers aloft in heroic propor
tions and an expression of perpetual
benison. To '.he left the magnificent
curve of columns aud statues that ex
cell the most famous of Grecian tem
ples, and on and on rise the roofs and
lowers of building after building in
which are stored the treasures of eanh.
while all nations have joined in friend
ly rivalry to do honor to the great Dis
coverer and the government of the
land he discovered. I; was worth the
long and tedious journey from the Pa-
cihc coat just to see thvse buildings
uid their exterior adornment. They
were not reared by some ambitious
queen with the unrequited toil of slaves
to gratify her vanity: neither were
they built by some selfish prince with
taxes wrung from unwilling subjects
to please the whim of some comely fa
vorite. They were built by the swar
thy god whom the ancients knew as
Vulcan, but we moderns call Labor,
for his fair-haired daughter Art. Vou
stroll along by the side of the lagoon
and watch the graceful gondolas pro
pelled bv gaily dressed gondoliers, un
til yourline of vision is crossed by that
triumph of iuvcative genius, the" elec
tric launch and your dream of Ven
etian palaces is merged into the patent
office at Washington. Vou reach the
Mc.Monnies fountain which in artistic
conception and execution is unsurpassed
in the world. As well rnipht I attempt
to describe to you the song of our loved
meadow lark as to tell how it looks.
Another short walk and you arrive at
the Womens Building, and lest your
readers should become as weary as" ai-e
my poor feet, vour correspondent will
vanish therein, to tell you of its won
ders in tho next letter!
