The World's Columbian Exposition Sal- vage Company will nave completed within @ week or two their task of removing the buildings of the late world’s fair, at Chi- evgo, says the Iron Age. It has stretched over a period of two and a half years, during which time an immense amount of labor has been done. A few buildings have been permitted to remain, but they stand only to serve special perposes, and are only faintly suggestive of the architectural gicries which once graced Jackson Park. At the north end of the park stands the art palace, now the Columbian Museum, With its thousands of unique treasures. Over by he lake shore is he once beau- tiful German building, in dilapidation; far- ther south is to be seen the sham Cony of La Rabida. The Goddess of Li still Oceupies her lofty pedestal, with her cap gone and several of Ler fingers miss- rg. The old whaler Progress still en- cumbers the iazooa, bezaise nobody wants to buy it. The vessel was offered the other day for $®. Here the reminders of 18u3 end. But what has become of all the rest of the structures that once filled the park? There are “bits” of the world’s fair at the present time all over the world—in Europe, in Asia, in Afriea, in the two Americas, Ausiralia. ry of the principal buildings is In the main it may be told In veryhedy knows the ge building, and later music hali and casino. remembers the grand py- lay—the great fire of July 3, INH, when the manufactures building, ma- chinery hall, the agricultural building, the mines and mining building, the electrical building, the administration building, the terminai station, and a number of minor structures were consumed. Those fires left but one article of salvage—the steel. This mate for the most part went to two he rolling mills of the Illinois Steel Company and the steel furnaces of Pittsburs. Of the in “ial remaining buildings a portion of remeyed to Springfield, HL; two 3 City, one was moved n Stony Island avenue, Chicago, and other was worked over into a flat Th are the only structures | asything like their integrity. ew York building, one of the mést of the state was almost a » failure as saivage. The fine mu- ngs by Millet were on the piaster to be sacrificed. The Iowa and ecstly Clio buildings were annexed to other buildings and were scarcely worth tearing down. The Texas building was another failure from the standpoint of the wreck- ers. Orly part of the Illinois building was left by fire. The Washington building, that excited such comment by its massive logs, was torn down, and the timbers for the most part sawed up. The Wisconsin build- ing has been reconstructed at Kansas City, where it has been opened as a “gen- tlemen’s clud.” The Victoriz. building was fitted up in Kansas City for a private resi- Gence. The Pennsylvania building was torn down carefully and used in the erection of a flat building at Emerald avenue and 43d street, Chicago. The Rhode Island build- ing was secured by Dr. Wiloughby and moved to Stony Island avenue and 70th street, Chicago. The fisheries building had little salvage, but it was the one building in demand. ‘The ball was started rolling when a hid was pu: in for the glass. Then followed innumerable applications for frogs, lizards, fish and other ornaments from the col- umns. ‘hese little plaster ornaments were soon a* a premium, and a few of them ure now being held at « fairly gccd price. The fire of July jy 1894, was especially disastrous to the interests of the falr. All the figures from the main building were taken Ji.wn with the expectation that there would be a demand for them, and wore money could be made frcm them than from the regtiler salvage. Most of the little angels from the women’s building, the symbolic figures, reliefs, and so forth, were prt in the electrical building, where it was intended to exhibit them prior to putting them on sale. The fire came and swept them all away. A few memorable souvenirs, however, were saved. Presi- dent H. N. Higinbotham secured the four lions that kept guard at the base of the obelisk near the south lagocn. They now lord it over inoffensive ducks and chickens at Mr. Higinbotham’s farm at Elgin. The stetus of Ben Franklin, that stood in front of the olectricity building, the work of Carl Rohl Smith, was bought by the University of Pennsylvania, ard is now in Philadelphia. The statue of Columbus, that stood before the adrinistration build- ing, 1s now in the Field Columbian Museum. The city of Denver bo.ght the Indian on horseback and the cowboy, the two stat- ues that excited such comment during the time the fair was being held. The park commissioners still own the group that stood about the main basin. One of the groups of the four razas is in the museum of Jackson Park; the others were burned. inerva and Julius Caesar stend near the museum building. The celebrated golden gateway is still intact. It is being held by @ local dealer in statuary, and was re- fee offered to the city of Cleveland for —s LEGGINS ARE A BOTHER. But Women Who Ride Bieyeles Must Wear Them. From the Chicago Daily Tribune. It is no longer the length of the skirt, the style of a coat, or even a question of bloomers. But now it is leggins, and it is safe to say there is not a woman bicycle rider in Chicago who does not hate the very sight of a pair of the hideous, clumsy, hot, troublesome things. But she dons them just the same, and wears them duti- fully. Men don’t know how much trouble wo- men have. They are inclined to think because their wives and sisters go to matinees while they are earning the bread and butter for the family the women have the easy end of life’s burdens. But they never had to wear a heavy pair of woollen bicycle leggins, fourteen buttons high, on a hot day, or they would understand dif- ferently. What makes them do it? Nobody knows. Men—at least most all men—say it is silly ard useless. But “they” do it, and that settles it. Oh, if some one would only capture that bugbear “they” and hang him or them or it, whatever it is, as high as Haman, what a tranquil, beautiful world this ‘would ee For “they” does make cowards of us all. The maaufacturer is helping out on the question as well as he can. There are at least a dozen styles and kinds of leggins in the market. That they are all about equally grewsome is perhaps the fault of the extraneons article itself, and not of the designer. One of the innovations of the season is the high bicycle shoe, made usually of a combination of cloth and leather. Occa- sionally they are entirely leather. But the appearance they give to the most sylph- like extremities is something depressing. The squaws in Buffalo Bill's show come out riding astride the horses, their pedal extremities swathed in blankets, A pair of those bright-colored bicycle boots on @ stout woman at a short distance has a similar appearance. Besides, they act after the manner of a plaster cast about the ankle, hampering materially the free movement. The leggins are much better in this respect, as the only strain comes from the strap under the foot, which acts as a pivot, the back and front being free. A woman needs to be something of a contortionist to button the leggins up the side. Then, if she happens to waik beside her wheel for a moment, the perverse pedal is likely to catch underneath a but- ton and rip the whole thing open from bot- tom to tep—and a button hook miles away. In leggins a woman can take her choice of leather, stockinet, cloth or cotton can- vas. They are all hot and uncomf@rtable. But gs it seems not to be a case of leg- gins or no leggins, it must perforce be only a question of what kind of leggins. Some clever girls have hit on the device of sewing buttons on their stockings to simulate leggins. This is something of a deception, but it is a harmless one, and as the average person—men more espe- clally—rarely observes in detail, the ruse generally works admirably. ——_—_+-e-__ ‘Was a Newspaper Reader.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN SUBURBAN NEWS Children’ Day Oclebrated Yesterday in the Ohurches Lively Day Among the Inhabitants of “Beston”—Other Local Notes of General Interest. The Children’s day services at the Con- gress Street M. P. Church were held last evening, and drew a large attendance. The services were in charge of Superintendent George W. Graves. The musical director was Mr. Robert T. Ballard. The program embraced twenty-seven numbers in all, and the little tots remembered their lines well. Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church was crowded last evening by those anxious to witness the Children’s day exercises. The place was prettily decorated with palms and plants, and the anniversary of the American flag was remembered by a Nberal display of the patriotic colors. The exer- elses were in charge of Mr. Isaac Birch, the superintendent of the Sunday school. A well gotten up program was rendered by the children, A Boston Character. Rose Winfield, a colored character of Bos- ton, well known to the police, was arrest- ed Saturday night by Policeman Maher on a charge of larceny from the person. The larceny consists in taking $12 from Sam Payne, colored. Payne’s son, hear- ing that his father had been robbed, went after Rose with blood in his eye and a brick in his hand. Rose was found and struck in the head with the brick, being rendered unconscious, while her plunder was taken away. She was arrested for larceny, however, while the police are now looking for Payne's son. Death of Mr. Jumes.Lydan. Mr. James Lydan, a well-known resident, died Saturday morning at his residence, 2043 85th street. The deceased was sev- enty-two years of age, and was a native of County Wexford, Ireland. For the past half a century he has lived in Georgetown, and for many years had been employed ut the Acacemy of Visitation. His funeral was held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and was largely attended. The interment was at Holy Rood cemetery. Charged With Stealing. Alfred Dorsey, a sixteen-yexr-old colored youth, was arrested Saturday by Policeman Sullivan on a charge of larceny, preferred by Mr. William H. Pyles of 1324 P street. It is alleged that the boy sneaked in the house of Mr. Pyles and stole a gold watch, some morey and car tickets and other trinkets. When arrested all of the plunder was fovnd on him and {dentified by the owner, and the youth held on the charge of larceny. Debating Contest The annual debating contest of the Philo- nomosian Debating Society of Georgetown University took place in Gaston Memorial Hall, which was prettily decorated for the eccusion. The subject of the debate was: “Resolved, ‘That free trade is the true eco- nomic policy of the United States.” Mr. Leonard Jerrin was the chairman of the debate, ard he made a brief introductory address on the alms and objects of the so- ciety. The students of the university fur- nished the music for the occasion. Mr. James Murrin and Mr. Fay took the affirmative side and upheld the policy of protection to American industries, while Mr. J. L. Cullen and Mr. McLaughlin ex- pounded dcctrines in support of the free trade thecry. The addresses were all well worded. Three members of the faculty presided as judges, and their decision wiil not be announced until the commencement exercises of the university. Notes. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mr. Otto H. Fischer of 1265 32d street to Miss Florence Sinclair of Baltimore.

Church, 32d street below M street, Friday evening at 8 o'clock. An excellent program has been arranged for the occasion, presented by good talent. During the past two days the police sta- tion has had a number of occupants, the largest for some time. “Boston” was espe- cially lively Saturday night, and the patrol was kept busy. The total number of ar- rests was seventeen. Nellie La Rue has bought of Wm. Britt lots 9 and 10, block 8, of the Reno subdi- v.sion. The consideration is placed at $800. ——— TAKOMA PARK.

During the past few months President Peck has been able to induce the railroad company to recog- nize the fact that Washington Grove 1s a station of importance, and the result “has been that the people there enjoy better train facilities than any other station except Rockville betwen Washing- ton and Metropolitan Junction, As the outcome of a recent request by Dr, Peck the company has ordered that the fust express leaving Washington at 10:50 p.m. shall stop ut Washington Grove, ar- riving there at 11:30, ‘This train stops ot no other station until it reaches Metropolitan Junction, 30 that there are now three express and elght local trains to and from Washington each week day.
