An Interesting: Chicago Letter.
From our Saeelal Correspondent. -
World's Fair Grounds, Chicago,
Oct. 4, 1893. I have often won
dered why people who attended the
Centennial or the Paris Exposition
could find so little to tell concern
ing them. I now understand the
mystery without being able to ex
plain it. There is so much that!
impresses itself upon you as being
worthy of mention, and yet it is
impossible to give a systematic or
detailed description of what you see.
I have learned the utter futility of
pencil and must conteat myself and
others with a meagre account of
things as they appear in the vart
panorama that daily passes before
the admiring eyes of a world of
people. A noticeable and pheasant
leaiure oi ine great crowds assem
bled here, is the uniform good na
ture and happiness depicted ' upon
the faces. They are out for a holi
day, and the spectacle before them
is one never enjoyed before, will
never be met again; and they in
tend getting as much pleasure out
of it as possible. I have been at
the grounds twelve days, and have
not as yet encountered a frown or
heard a fretful word, which, con
sidering the great throngs, is, I
think, a matter worthy of comment.
Everything connected with this
great Exposition, is pure, clean and
wholesome in every respect. I have
seen no beggars, and no intoxicated
persons. Have no reason for be
lieving that hotel keepers or any
one else would wish to practice the
extortion we heard so much about
before leaving Oregon. Indeed each
hour, although grown weary with
the tax upon my physical strength,
I can echo the sentiment of a young
girl who, filled to overflowing with
the unalloyed happiness of a day
spent at the Fair, exclaimed in a
gush of ardor, "Oh mamma! I'm
so glad I'm alive!"
I think I last parted from my
Medford friends while at the Plais
ance, among the Orientals. While
that part of the Fair affords a novel
recreation I did not find it so satis
factory as the Fair proper. We
visited the Javanese, German, Irish
and Dahomy villages, "Old Vienna"
and a "Street in Cairo." Halted
to "listen" to a fakir mounted upon
a platform, in the dress of a clown
who, without uttering a word or
making a sound, and directly un
der the eye of a determined looking
Columbian Guard, contrives bv
grotesque gestures a,nd much spread
ing of mouth and rolling of eyes, to
convey to the crowd constantly as
sembled about him, an excellent
idea of what will be seen at the
Turkish theatre within, and is a far
better drawing card than when he
was allowed to bawl to his hearts
content. We experienced the pe
culiar sensations attending a' ride
in the Ferris wheel, and strolled
about the Turkish Baxar while the
balance of the party took a spin on
the sliding railway. A visit to the
Congress of Beauty left a feeling of
sadness that in this enlightened
land and age of the world, so many
young girls could be found who
were willing to be stared at for an
entire summer. There is much to
be learned as to the home life of the
Orientals by visiting the Midway,
but our enjoyment culminated at
the Street in Cairo. One of our
party being a young lady who had
traveled around the world and
spent several weeks in Egypt, we
naturally believed her scienced in
the art of camel riding, and the
siht afforded the balance of us,
when six of the party four girls
and two young men did finally ride
the camel, beggars description; an
irrepressable boy expressed it in
this way: "Hurrah! it bumps in
front, jumps behind and paces in
the middle."
It would be entirely useless for
me to attempt to convey to my
readers any adequate conception' of
the great aggregation of rare work
in the Fine Arts Building. The
building is immense and unless one
is somewhat familiar with his cat
alogue he is liable to miss a great
deal so numerous on the courts, ro
tunda and galleries. I have heard
it estimated that were a person to
stand two moments before each pic
ture or piece of statuary, and worfi
six hours each dav it would take
eleven months to see the whole. I
therefore gave little attention to
much that I might devote more
lime to what I regarded as most
worthy of note. Figure painting
predominates and many and varied
are the masterpieces. Among these
in the U. S. exhibit may be men
tioned as extremely fine in color,
"Hailing the Ferry," by Ridgeway
D. Knight, lent by the Pennsyl
vania academy of Fine Arts. "The
Carpenter's Son," by Edward E.
Simmons, New York. "Hester,"
by Chester Loomis, New Jersey.
In the exhibits of loan collections
of foreign masterpieces owned in
tho United States the palm must
unreservedly be given to Rosa Bon
heur. Her work meets my expec
tations in every particular, she. ex
emplifies the doctrine of another fa
mous artist that "trifles make per
fection, but perfection is no trifle."
This, cannot be said of all. Of
course it is an understood fact that
many of these loans are of inesti
mable value because of their an
tiquity and because thoir authors
possessed a nane that unfortunately
lived after they were dead; this is
the only explanation that I am able
to make as regards some of the
masterpieces seen ia these collec
tions. A fine picture is "The Fore
closure of the Mortgage," in the
Canada exhibit. In Germany
Tullia" contains great merit in
color and expression. Time and
space could not be allowed ' me to
make mention of even a few, of the
great numbers of well executed pic
tures exhibited by the different na
tions. I think, were I obliged to
render a decision it would be in
favor: of Russia. To my mind the
iem collection painted by one per
sotfteTthat of Airazovosky. They
yrSqMisite in every detail show
ing a master hand.- I am informed
that it is expected the entire con
tents of the Fine Arts Building will
be taken to the mid-winter fair in
San Francisco and in that event I
hope and trust that all readers of
Thb Mail will improve their oppor
tunity to see this rare exhibit which
language fails to describe. Ab yet
I have visited but few of the State
Buildings. The external architec
ture of most of them is of a high
order and they bear no resemblance
one to the other. The New York
and Pennsylvania buildings are ele
gant in design as are many of the
others. In front of the Minnesota
building is a marble statue of Hi
awatha in ihe act of bearing the
maiden through the forest. A num
ber f our party who was born and
grew to be quite a youth in the vi
cinity of Minnehaha criticized this
graceful work of art by saying it
was altogether wrong and mislead
ing. Had the figures been reversed
and the Indian woman had been
bearing the burden it would . have
been far more natural according to
the rules and principles of Indian
life. The Oregon exhibits as they
appear, in the different buildings
are very creditable to the state but
seem meagre; and I felt keenly the
absence of a State building. It
would have added much to the im
portance of our state, particularly
as our sister states, California and
Washington made such a fine dis
play. It strikes me that it was a
grave mistake, a conclusion in
which, I believe, every visitor from
Oregon will liear evidence. I oc
casionally come across a familiar
name on the different registers, and
indulge in a feeliDg of regret that
all of our good people could not
have availed themselves of the
pleasure afiorded by a visit to the
Great Fair so soon to close; and a
sadness creeps into the pleasure as
we realize that all this magnificence
of architecture and revelation of
scientific beauty is but transitory.
A few short days and we will all
seek our homes and the work of de
struction will commence.
Before closing I desire to offer my
tribute of respect for, and admira
tion of, the management of the Fair
and the corresponding smooth
ness of the working details. The
presentation of my credentials as
correspondent of The Mail was
met by an immediate proffer of a
uress ticket covering mv mtiro
stay, and with it a most kindly ex
pression of gratification that a paper
so far awav had shown sufficient
enterprise to arrange for special
correspondence. ecsie ii. west.

the weather will permit.
Rudolph Beaversted has killed
eight bears this fall and still in pur
suit of Bruin. John Sevege has
killed one small bear. John says
bear hunting would be much safer
if everybody would make a special
ity in killing them while they are
small. Charles Turpin and Erviug
Dailey were out on a hunt a few
days and were very successful,
bringing in some fine bucks.
Last Friday night Lake creek
was again enlivened by a grand en
tertainment given by the young
folks. Many able declamations
were delivered, interspersed with
some very interesting dialogues,
which reflected much credit to all
the participants. The managers,
Erviug Dailey and Mrs. Little, de-i
serves much credit for the able
manner in which they conducted
the entertainment with so short no
tice. At the close of the entertain
ment Mr. Grieves got a move on
and removed the benches and set
the young folks dancing which
completed the enjoyment of .the
young folks the rest of the evening,
John Sevege and Chas. Murpin fur
nishing the best of music, while
Mrs, Grieves prepared everything
tempting to satisfy the inner man.

Southern Oregon Pears Are All Right
From The Rural Northwest.
The statement recently appeared
in one of the leading newspapers of
this state that Oregon-grown Bart
lett pears do not stand shipment
well unless packed before they are
fully grown. , Although this stater
ment was made by a gentleman
who ought to know what he is
talking about, the Rural Northwest
is not inclined to accept it as a
fact. A great many of the pears
which were grown in Oregon this
year would not stand shipment
well for the simple reason that the
trees had not been properly sprayed
with the Bordeaux mixture and in
consequence the fruit was attacked
by fungus and made ready to rot
on- the slightest provocation. 'No
such fruit should ever be shipped
out of the state. On the other hand
the Medford Mail reports that re
turns have been received from the
several carloads of pears shipped
from that place and that in every
instance they were reported to have
reached their destination in splen
did shape. Messrs. Stewart and
Weeks & Orr, the orchardists who
raised these pear3 have the reputa
tion of caring for their trees in the
most thorough manner, and they
did not have to pick their pears be
fore they were grown to make them
keep, even when they were shipped
to New York.

flattered that the charming Widow
