FROHTHE FAIR CITY
ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING
LETTER FROM HON. S. B.
HUSTON.
Kditor Inhici'ksiiknt. There is one
thing that I have not yet iken alsmt
that interests a great many ssiplc, viz,
the art department. This is the Mecca
for a great many people. I think more
ts-ople visit it than any other de
partment. To thH who visit it I
would say get a catalogue the first
thing. It will pay you as you w ill get a
great deal more out of it, as you will
understand what is meant by the pict
ures so much Is'tter. Some pictures
show at a glume what they meun, while
other do not. If I were making rule
to govern an ai t gallery, one of the first
would lie, that u the bottom of every
picture thut wus exhibited there should I
lie printed in the Fnglish language, the
name of the artist and the picture and a
brief description of w hat w as intended
by the picture.
In the Swccdish department there is
one nsiin tilled with pictures by Kruno
Lillgefors. They are all animal pictures
and some of them are us line or liner
than any thing, of the kind, I ever saw .
The limits of this article will not t-
mit me to attempt a description of them,
but will only indicute what they are, so
that any one w ho sec this may look for
them.
One is a pheasant sitting in a tree.
Another is a fox iu the snow on the top
f a mountain. A third is a rabbit ls-
ing pursinsl by an eagle. These will all
repay a careful examination. Passing
on you come into the (Senium depart
ment. There are some historical paint
ings here that are very interesting.
"The Congress of Berlin," The death of
William the First uud The Kaiser con
gratulating Yon Mm-lke on Ins With
birthday. There is also a picture of a
lot of Tyrolere mountaineer coming out
f church. In studying these pictures
one is struck with the immense amount
letail that is put into each picture.
There will Is.' fifty or more faces' 111 one
picture and every one ja-rfevt. The
lothing, down to the very smallest de
tail, is js-rfect. If you stand back and
look at the slns's in one of the large
pictures you are almost w illing to swear
that they are real slus-s. "The Con
gress of IVrlin" is also attractive for the
reason that it contains the fncca of the
most celebrated men in Fitros includ
ing such men as IJisiiiiuk, faiisnury,
Disrath. Gortschakoff and others. The
historical painting are all by Von Wer
ner. Some of them are thirty feet long
hv alsmt twelve or fourteen feet high.
The British, liclgitiu, Holland and Can
adian departments contain many nice
paintings, but nothing that particularly
attracted my attention. The French de
partment had some very la-autiful pit
tures, most of them, however, are pic
tures of ladies who bad evidently gone
away from home and left their wardrol?
or had gotten ut) early to have their
..ictures taken and hadn't time to dress.
There is a picture of Eve giving the a)
pie to Adam. Now while I am very fond
of apples, particularly if they hapK'ii to
lie of the Northern Spy variety, I have
always hail it in for Adam a little alstut
his conduct on thut occasion. hen I
reflected that if he had only restrained
himself for a little while, we would not
only not have had to work, but would
not ever have to die. I have felt "pretty
sore" towards the ol.l man and the only
thing that bus kept me from tulkinu
pretty hard alsmt him was the fact thut
lie was young and incxKriciifcd and
the further fact that he was a relative
of mine, lsjing my grout, great
grandfather. Hut if this picture is a
correct representation of the circum
stances, and Eve was as pretty as she is
represented to la; I am ready not only to
forgive the old man, but asilogi.e. I
would have eaten anything she would
have asked me to, even if it had ls-en
arsenic. I would have done anything
she asked me to, even if it was to jump
into the river. I am already to testify
that Adam was not ressinsiblc for his
actions and that w hatever he did was
justifiable.
It is when you come to the Japanese
. partincnt, however, that you see some
things that are very wonderful. I do
not know .that it would Is; correct to
all them paintings for they are not
painted at all. They are pictures, but
they are not painted. Most of them are
embroidered and they are far ahead of
any istinting. Suite ( them are made
011 cut velvet. The pr.s'ess was ex
plained to me, but I ant not quite sure
that I understand it. I will say, how
ever, that the pictures are made by a
loom: small copis-r wires used as filling
and are woven into a Isaly of velvet an.l
then the threads of velvet are cut in
certain place where the picture is to Is'
produced. Instead of one man making
the picture there may le a half a doxen
working at it at once. How the editing
of the threads pr.slnees the effect thut

There ia another subject w hich I do
not like to ss-ak alsuit in connection
with the fairs, but 011 account of our
Is'wis and Clark fair, I feel thut I
shoul.L It is presistently stated thut
certain of the head otliciuls of the fair
are interested in certain concessions in
side the grounds and are usiii their
otliciul swition to fill their iss kets. To
la- more explicit. There is a restaurant
inside the grounds known as the Na
tional restaurant. It is one of the plac
es thut are very high in their prices.
There are a lurge nuinU r of young men
in uniform inside the grounds, whose
lutv it is to act as guards, preserve
order, answer questions etc. They are
given their positions bv the fair com
mission. 1 hey are resigning everyday,
sometimes two at a time. 1 hev say
that they are ordered to eat at that res
taurant and at no other und arc threat
ened with discharge if thev do not ols'y.
Yesterduy a young man recommended
bv Governor iH-ubin, of Indiana, wus
discharged and he says that he was dis
charged la-cause he refused to eat at
thut restaurant and pay the extortion
ate prices. It is not two or three only
w ho make these charges, but dozens of
them, so that one is coniiellcd to I'
lieve them to la' true. Every cars'ii
ter or contractor w ho takes a contract
to build a building adds a la rue sum to
his bid on account, us he savs, of the
st.M'k w hich he is coiiiS'lled to buy Irom
the ollicials in order to get the contract.
When the Oregon commission wanted
to have the Oregon building put up, the
contractor asked fiMtXI for it. On lieing
remonstrated with, he frankly admitted
tliat $:t(NH) was enough, but he said he
had figured $H00 for worthless fairst.s k
which he would have to buy if he took
the contract. lie offered to do it for
$:tHI0 if they would protect him itguinst
the st.s'k deul. Of course the head men
say there is nothing iu it, thut they
don't cure whether lie buysst.s'k or not,
but all the same the contractors insist
that it is true and their offer is evidence
that there is something in it. Many of
the "big men" in the management, sul-
scrils-d considerable to st.sk up the
the fair. It is now evident that the
sUs'k is worthless and that if the govern
ment nets back its tt.lUMI.IKHJ loan with
out trouble, it will l luckv. Therefore
if they can conijs'l all the con'ractors to
take a lot of this st.s k off their hands,
thev are that much ahead. If they
have no stis k of their own, muny of
them know jHiiple w ho w ill give a big
bonus in order to get buck a part of their
money.
Now if such deals as this should be
made ut Portland, it would kill our fair
as "dead as a d.sir nuil." It will have
to deis-nd. for its sumxirt, himui home

is a gran 111 it mey w in n-n upion

fully guarded against. Our iH.urd made
ail unfortunate move when they pro-
sed to let the contract for ull t.ie
mildings, to one contractor. This
created a feeling of distrust und it is to
be hoMsl that 110 feeling of this kind
will ever have any grounds to support
it.

We left St. Louis and came to Matt.s.n,

Abraham Lincoln, and remained there
four day. Lincoln' father is buried on
the
old farm, but the house is gone. It
was taken to Chicago in INM. W hen I
realiacd that I was tramping over the
same ground that Lincoln did lit Ins
youthful days; the place where he split
the rails that were mentioned so often
during his canvas for the presidency,
it seemed to me that the soil was almost
sacred. The eople who live near there
however, do not seem to take much in
terest in the matter, with the exception
of a few sis-aking of the cabin, reminds
me that the original cabin built by Gen.
Grant when he lived near St. bulls, is
on exhibition at the fair. It is a won
derful commentary on the opM.rtunities
offered in this country that men of tin
low ly origin and surrounding as these
should have Is-en among the most hon
ored presidents of our country.
We are now visiting here and will
leave for Indiana next week.
