When the conversation turns upon the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, some one is sure to ask, "And will there be a Midway?” and then reminiscences will be the order of the hour, and again you will see tbe red fezes of the Turke, the bewitching smile of the Parisian coquette, the haughty glance from the dark-eyed houri of the Orient, the seductive dances of the Spanish señoritas, the slow revolving of the massive Ferris wheel, the little nooks from the other corners of the earth, the swaying, sleepy camels with their loads of laughing, living freight, the queer meals with egg-shell china and chop-sticks served by a shy, dainty bit of Occidental beauty; again you can hear the musical songs of unknown tongues—the monotonous chant of cer­ emonies in strange religions, the lusty call of the "Orangeade” boy, the entic­ ing shouts of the fakirs, tho growling of savage Ireasts whose tricks are almost human, the hum of thousands of voices, tbe laughter from thousands of throats—ami all the rest that went to make up that ever-changing kaleido­ scope of strange voices, strange people and strange sights. We had never thought to see its like again, but, af­ ter all, there was nothing that could not be duplicated and, if one may judge from the extensive preparations that are under way, we shall eee in Omaha, not only a reproduction of the most in­ teresting features of the Midway, but many novel ones and—breathe it gently —minus the humbug and fake features which were at once the bane and the characteristic of the Midway Plaisance. If one has any curiosity as to their ultimate destination after this life, they have but to enter a novel building which represents one of the Egyptian pyramids and is called "Night and Morning.” This building is 140 feet square and 100 feet high, and in this space there is warranted to be crowded sufficient celestial joys and awful ter­ rors as to make a trip th rough it one to be never forgotten. On entering, one is immediately lost in a labyrinth which represents tho journey of life from the cradle to the grave, and whether one walks quietly along through pleasant paths with delightful views, or becomes lost in dark byways in the midst of terrible scenes, depends entirely upon chance. When at last he I has reached the end of the labyrinth he is confronted by a winding flight of golden stairs, which will lead him straight to the Elysian fields, and on bis left he will see an elevator which plunges him down to tbe lower regions. It will be a safe guess to reason that . tbe visitor will take the elevator fiist, 1 anil after descending 200 feet he will find himself in an exact duplicate of Dante’s Inferno, with all of Dore’s hor­ rible pictures realistically reproduced. In the cafe he will find coffins trans­ formed into tables, widows and orphans in gloomy weeds who are enacting the parts of waitresses, the menus printed in white on black cards, and all the symbolic gloominess that goes to make tip tbe infernal regions. If, on the other hand, the visitor prefers a "Heavenly” meal, he has but to ascend the golden stairs, to be ushered into a beautiful room, hung with satin draperies of white rose color, to find the tables of golden harps, tbe wait­ resses white-robed angels with wings anti everything lovely.
