OF course, employers will see them in
the Calumet, before they will agree to
tho terms. At the same meeting at
which this purpose was announced, they
denounced mayor Rice as recreant to
them, appointed a committee to wait on

and sunk in sin as to work ten hours per
i diem and they further threatened that if
he did not take this means Of keeping
the peace, they would appeal to high

THE CrTY's HOTEL. -
Chicago keeps hotel of its own-a
hospItable mansion for the benefit of ru-
raj visitors and erging citizens, where 10
credentials OF good character are requir
ed to secure admlttance--where the prices
are rather various, but generally high,
an institution peculiarly Democratic In
It's arrangements, and where personal
safety Is greater object than either CON-
fort or elegance. 1t Is called the Armory.
1t wonid be SANDER to assert, as some
base detamers OF Chicago have done that
one rises IN one-soclai scale in proper
ton to the number OF times he has lodged
here, but | may say that in the earthly
pilgrimage Of him who has never been
here, there is one stage lacking. II one
lives III Chicago, either one has been
there or will go, It is only a question of
/ time, consequently every one takes an
interest In the Armory. Our new Board
OF Health made it one of the first subjects
OF their consideration. They have found
that the floor is underlaid by a Shiny ooze
OF fearful stencil, to depth of from eight
to fifteen inches, that this horrible filth
has rotted away the floor above it in many
places, that the waste pipes are all open
admitting constant rash Of the most
noAlous aud poisonous gases from the
| nastlest sewer IN the city, that even were
the alT pure, there is only one tenth SUIT
ticlent ventilation in the cells" as
dodgers apartments are termed, that the
place sWarms with veimin There is
not that pretty exhibit of so popular a
city institution. Beware, We innocent
countIylnen, of coming to Chicago ''on a
spree and going to that Annoy.
