STRANGE PARADE
OF ALL NATIONS.
v..,.
u
Entire Globe Contributes
to the Gorgeous Proces-
sion. A Feature Pike
Day at the World's
Fair St. Louis.
St. Louis, April 25,—The Won-
derful Parade of Peoples and
Beasts, on Pike Day at the
World's Fair, June 4th., will be
the greatest of modern world
spectacles. Its barbario mag-
nificence and human inceres£ far
overshadow the Queen's Jubilee,
triumphs of Rome( conquerors or
the visit of bj^ba to Solomon.
Amid a babel of untamed mu-
sic, the murmurs of thirty-five
different tongues and the shimmer
of myriad colors, a huge caravan,
the like of which has never beq,n
seen in all the history ofc 'the
centuries, will drag itsEerpentine
length through the oity of paN
aces.
Six thousand natives from
climes, far and near, and two
thousand animals of nearlv every
known specU>9 will move in the
strangest procession since the
one that a^ught refuge in the
.ark.
It will be a living color page
of storvland, or nursery rhyme
and the days when tales were
yourg. The Arabian Nights will
flash in the noonday sun. Ancient
religions with all their glamour
of mystery and heathen splendor
give the solemn rote of the pa-
geant. We will behol.1 types of
these different peoples.
Chinese, Japanese, Russians,
Tyrolese, Irish, French, Italians,
Persians, Turks, Burmese, Sinha-
lese, Filipinos, Esquimaux, Span-
iards. Egyptians, Indians, Hin-
doos, Boors, Zulus, Kaflirs, Jews
Bohemians, Assyrians, Bedou-
ins, Hawaiian Islanders, Kanakas,
head hunters of Borneo, Gre-
cians, Negroes, Arabians, Ger-
mans, Patagoman Giants, African
pigmies, hairy Ainus, and several
Americans.
Curious conveyances will] be
employed in this march cf na-
tions. Some will ride in Irish
jaunting cars, in the jinricka-
shaw, the Persian kajavak, gold-
en cars of the Indian rajahs,
Alaskan dog sledges, sulkies
drawn by ostriches and giraffes,
stylish modern tiaps hauled by
zebras and fat-tailed American
aheep. Lavishly oaparisoned
elephants, camels and dromeda-
ries bear on- their backs howsahs
with lofty pinnacles, Arabian
steeds carry turbaned children of
the desert, the American broncho
support famous Indian Chiefs
and the Rough Riders of the
world. Dragomen of Cairo ride
the historic donkey.
Dancers of all nations reflect
the Schunblatter, the real, the
fling, the clog, the Nautch, the
Jar, the Castenet, the sword, and
the devil dance, and behold those
who whirl as do the dervishes,
those who do the fandango anil
the geisha dance, the (lute, the
snake, and the Kanchina or the
dance of masks, the."Buffalo, and
the Manitou dance anil the can
mbalistic revels of the far South
Sea Islands.
Industries of the earth will be
portrayed in the procession by
the polygot population of Jerusa-
lem, the thrifty natives, of the
Alps, the weavers of Ireland, the
wood and ivory carvers the gold
brocade weavers and Benaries
brass makers and the jewelers of
Hindostan; the tea pickers and
rollers of Ceylon, the brass chis-
elers. candy makers, fortune telN
era and fakirs of Persia; Japan-
ese who carve images from single
grains of rice and the ragmaking
girl of Japan. Kommanys from
Spain; street vendors, from the
Bazaar* of Staoaboul; old-time
plantation darkies of the South,
expert fire fighters of the modern
city, Russian serfs and deep sea
divere: the potters, basket makers
and blanket makers of the Zuni I
and Moki tribes; Chinese silk j
weavers plying ancient looms, I
the Boer housewife fresh from j
her laager and many other type':,;
Wedding ceremonies and burial;
rites, native festivals and annual >
sacrificial feasts have their vivid j
portrayal m this streaming puI-
sation of life as it moves over a j
mile along the hard smooth bou- j
levards of the Exposition. It is j
estimated that the pageant v. 111 |
represent an outlay of thirty I
thousand dollars ami it is intend-
ed to make cf it one of the great-
est educational and amusement
features of the World's Fair.
Another Cyclone.
Sunday afternoon about 4:30
o'clock a cyclone passed over the
country about four miles north-
east of Mexia, dcing considerable
damage.
The home of Calvin Shanks
was demolished, and his 14-year-
old daughter, Miss Jauie, was so
badly hurt that the physician
says she will not recover. Mr,
Shanks, his wife and little boy
and Allen Shanks and wife were
all btdly bruised but not serious-
ly injured.
Two negro cabins on the Spil-
ler's place were blown away, and
one on the Ycldell place.
M. Thornton's house was also
destroyed.
In the Shanks country the
houses of Dr. Batchelor, R. M.
Baker and Geo. Wolf, and a negro
cabin were blo,\n down, but a3
none of the occupauts were at
home 110 one was hurt.
Mr. W. E. Bonner and daugh-
ter. Miss Lillian, had started to
Woodland, and took refuge under
a shed when th -y saw the cyclone
coming. The shed was blown
away, the buggy blown loose
from the horses and across the
road about fifty feet. Mr. Bon-
ner and Miss Lillian were b'mvn
about considerably, Miss Lillian
being carried by the wind about
twenty-five feet, and Mr. Bonner
having his clothes blown off—but
fortunately neither were hurt,
and were able to proceed on their
journey.
Considerable damage was done
to crops.
'I Stood in a Draft
With my coat off and caught this
wretched cold," says the sufferer. He
need not pay a h«avy penalty if he fol-
low his act of folly with an act of wis-
(lorn. Soak the feet in hot water with
a few teaspoensful of Perry Oavis' Pain
killet in it, lake a teaspoonful of
Painkiller in hot Bweetened water at
bed time and be thankful for so simple
and apt-edy • way to break up a.|col«l-
