Editor of the Independent : My i reminds uie that I n ive not yet ,m. anything alsmt the Pike, and to a liy- and to aotiie nun and women, 1 urn bound to say The Pike is the princi- pil attrartion at the Fair. It corres ponds, of course, tothe Midway at the World's Fair at Chicago, but I think that it ia a great improvement upon that. To undertake to recapituUte or even mi ntion all of the tttt ructions of the Pike would take more apace than your paper has, but I w ill refer to a few of the thing which I think w ill repay any effort necesary to see them on the part of those who visit the rair. One of the most iLteresting tome I Jim Key, the celebrated horse. I have seen a good many trick animaU, so rail ed, but this horse bests anything I havt ever heard of. lie can pick out any letter, playing card or ntimU-r that is called for. He can add, multiply, sub tract or divide any number Imlow thirty He can spell any ordinary name. He will go to the lHwt-otliee and get mail from any box requested and place it in the file Indicated by the Sectators. H van distinguish the value of every piece of United States coin, and then go to a cash register aud ling up the amount of a purchase and bring buck the correct change. These things seem incredible and 1 can hardly Is-lieve it after seeing them myself. While at the Fair I did uot learn anything alwut the history of the horse, but since coming here I met a cousin of mine w ho lives at Chattanooga Tennessee, who knew trie horse when he was s common dray hone. He was pur chase.! by a negro for thirty dollars. The negro began teaching him ami he soon developed Into a wonderful animal. Hi present owner paid the negro ten thousand dollar for him ami then dis covered that no Issly could manage the norse except the negro, so he has to tuk the negro around an. I pay him a salary in order to get along with the horse. 1 should advise every one to see Jim Kev. A wonderful illusion is what U known on the Pikfrfg The Creation. There is a great dome about one hundred and twenty-live feet high aud a scries of lift ing curtain you are shown the various processes of creation as outlined by the author of (ienesis. At first everything is dark and hazy ; nothing can lie seen ex cept a few nebula apparently flouting through space. Then the earttvuppears, as a hall of tire. rcxtlhe earth appear ed to be in volcatdc state with steam and molten lava. The light then ap pears, then the water, thn tlte.lry land, the sun, moon, and Adam and Eve. As the various change are made the man ager repeats in a loti I voice the various IMHsages from Genesis which are appro priate for the occasion, making a very realistic affair. Of course you realize that it is all a fake, ami yet it is a very pleasing deception. On the opposite side of the street is what is known as the Hereafter. While it is funny, yet I would not advise any one to spend time or money on it. The Irish Villuge Is very interesting. The entrance is a reproduction of St. Ijiwrence's gate at Drogheda, one of the celebrated land-mark of Ireland. There la a supply of the celebrate. 1 jaunt ing cars and you are driven through a panorama of the Killurnry region seeing many historic places. On the way you are driven over the rocky road to Dub lin. Irish people have been itnorted from Ireland and they are following their various vocations of making lares, linens, and carpets. There is a repro duction of the famous Blarney Castle, and every evening a company of Dublin players give IriHh drama in ' the castle. They had quite an amount of trouble over this production, which grew out of the aversion of a good many of the Irish people to seeing a production of tho Irish peasantry upon the stage. There were a lot of really first class performers brought over from Dnb'in, but the man agement in deference to pu'ilic senti ment or desire introduced some other characters who depicted the typical stage pipe, etc,. The players from Dub lin rebelled and refused to apjiear on the stage as long a this was allowed, and altogether they had a "monkey and a parrot time." The management how ever eventually bad their way alsiut it. The Naval Exhibit is one which catches the young people. There is a fleet of eight battle ships, six cruisers, sis torpedo lioats and a submarine Unit, all exact copies in minature of famous men-of-war of the United States Navy. There is a basin of water three hundred feet by one hundred and eighty feet, and a fortified city, inese vessels go through the regular naval evolutions; fire at targets and finally attack the for tified city. The sailing vessel attempts to run the blockade but is pursued by one of the cruisers and destroyed by shell. The cruising Heel comes in from the fort and a general engagement en sues. The shore batt'-ries open up aud the combat liecomes fut and furious. A sheli explodes the fort and tho torpe do send ud the enemy s ships in a thousand fragments. But at last the at tackin fleet which is of course the United States fleet is victorious, and every Issly is satisfied. Old grey head ed men, as well as little boys, liecotiie en thusiastic and soon forget that this i simply play and not reality. Hitgenback's Animal Show need no recommendation from any one. The Glass Weaving Palace is also v ry inter esting. The Tyrolean AljsJ are a fake, anj I should advise my friends to let this aloue. Some distance from the Pike is siltist ed the reproduction of the city of Jeru salem which occupies a tract of eleven acres of ground, and i enclosed within white wall. I did not see it because the Arab's who are in charge of it were fighting and quarreling so much that I di In't care to go around it. They had a couple of shooting scrapes inside while I was there. I am not able to give an 'opinion upon this. I lis Tiiaf orders promptly PUP IW.M 'Mi UDTTH C? !'f"ill? IT T I I Ci)!) A1)LV?AV The reproduction of the South African Boer War wa also a concession situated some distance from the Pike. It is sup- ixied to reproduce the buttle of Co'enso fought on the Tugela River on Deoetu- Istr 15ih, lf.l where the British General Buller wa checked and held up. Also' the battle of Paardeburg where (ieneral Cronje surrendered on February 27th, l!t00. The Brs-rsare in charge of t iener al Vilj'ieu. (ieneral (Von je and ( lenetal Kemp also take part. This ia very real istic, a they have the real uniforms, and the gun used in the actual conflict, butteries of Maxims and rani. 1 firitiif gun which are said to have Isjen used in the original battle. Whatever one may think of war in the abstract, or the outcome of this particular war, you can not observe this sham conflict without lieooniing somewhat excited. Since leaving the Fair we have visited in Illinois, and have Isjen here visiting relatives and friends for aUmt ten days. We have recently visited the famous West Baden Springs Hotel, which Is sit uated only a short di'tunce from here, and in which my relatives are interested. This is the most remarkable structure In the United states ami perhaps in the world. I know of nothing like it any where. It would le Impossible for me to give you an adequate conception of the size of this hotel. It is the shape of an octahedron, three hundred and for ty-three feet it) diameter, and one thous and feet in circumference. It is sur mounted by a dome tlist is much larger thau the dome on St. Peter's at Koine. Tim dome on St. Peter's i one-hundred and sixty feet in diameter.

The building is exclusively iron, glass, brick ami atone. The hotel Proper contains seven-hundred and eight r.xinie, each of which is provided with a bath lavato ry, clothes closet, steam beat, electric li.ditd but an. I old water Slid telephone. The lloor space tf the building is -.'57, 757 square feet. It N so large that you are simply dumbfounded.

Good ooods at honest pkh'Es. .Mail tilled, with the purest druj to think it will, Oeneral Tyner Is an old citizen id Indiana and he has always maintained a very honorable record. It wss a mii-take it seems to me, on the part of the president, to denounce him guilty in advance of hi trial. It was prett v hard for him to get a fair trial in the tare ol the fact that the president had publicly denounced him a 4 guil'y Now that he has been acquitted by the jury in very short order, he is demand ing of the president an aisilogy, and as that has i.ot hen forthcoming, he pro xises to bring an action lor slander. It seems to me probable that this will cost Roosevelt some vote in this state. His inviting Booker T. Washington to dinner will make the negro vote solid for hiin but it is not a very txipular thing among the white Miplo herein the communities where the negro exists in huge nuiuliers, so that altogether it would appear that with prudent man agement on the part of the democrats, Indiana might Ihj a debatable state. 1 think, however, that we can depend up on our old friend Win. J. Bryan stirring up trouble enough to make Indiana safe. I told several of my democratic friends eight years ago and repeated it again four years ago, that the time would come when they would abuse Mr. Bryan like a pick-Kx-ket ; that he would bring them to trouble as sure as he lived. I think mv prediction is about to 13 ful filled in fact it is already Wing ful filled here- Three fourths of the demo crats that I have met are privately curs ing him.

Shall leave there shortly after the Fourth, going to Indianapolis, Chicago ami St. Paul, making a short stay at each of these places, and then for home. The weather here i pretty warm.
