The city papers are ondonyorlng 10
cnIghicn the people as TO the cause, 10
make them see that their grasplng dis
position, their too great anxiety to
relieve all strangers, MS FIST ~ possible
Of their money, was IN reality cutting
their own Illronie, aud oncdaily, IN dee
spnr over the blindness Of the people,
oXcuIms. "Must all the time, tho
labor and money that Austria has OK
pended on this Exposition, be utterly
thrown away through The olsllnacy
and unronsonnblcncss Of the Vienna
people"
Tho papers Of nll nations arc warn
Ing their people against coming to Vi
emma TO make II long stay, on account
of the cXorbilant prices, and II Is said
that oven the Car Of Russia has writ
ten to inquire II II Is true that only
milionurcs can visit the Austellung,
II seems to he characteristic Of these
people TO adhere 10 any course they
have marked out, no matter how much
of Il loss II may be to them. The mar
kct people will prefer 20 have their
vegetables and fruit spoil on their
hands than take one krcUzcr less chan
the price demanded; bat there are
amopg the authorities some men of
enough judgement To see how eilcclu-
ally Vienna Is running her prospects
Of success, by holding so obstinatcly
TO the intention Of regarding all slraE-
gcrs ms victims rather than guests, and
lhirty-lour hoteI-llecpers have been
called up before thcmngisiratcsrorhav-
ing charged eXorbitani prices, and are
informed that they will be published
throughout The world If they do not at
once reduce their larid, The prices in
the restaurants within the Au4rlIung
grounds are also reduced and Wono
longer pay a dollar for n bcclstcnk, or
| twenty-five cculs for II cup OF rullrc,
and hotel prices are far more reason
able
AS specimen Of what they Wcre
will cite one instance 4 lady an'lv-
ed in Che city alone. She took room
at n hotel 10 await The arrival Of
| friends who were to come for her. Az
these Continental hotels have no par
lors one Is obliged TO take ROOM #
only fora All hour. Within two hours
the ndy's friends came, and her bill
for the use OF the room during thosc
Two hours was MicC d0Hdis and q halE
From II dollar and half to five dol
lars day IL about the range of prices
for n room, but that includes moth ny
else, service, lights fire and food are
extra. However one can live very
comfortably and reasonably in the res
taurants, which are innuncMhn. \
good meal Of soup, meat, bread, vpec-
tables and coffee can be had al fits
cents TO one dollar.
Many strangers who have come to
the Ausstcllung are disappointed be-
cause everything is not in readiness
and declare there Is nothing to see, hut
although packing boxes are every
where abundant, and the sound of thc
hamnornnd saw are constant and al
most deafening,yet There is still enough
to see to keep one fully occupied for
many days.
And II Is even interesting to watch
the laborers, often dressed In the out
landish costume Of distant lands, at
their work of mpacking and ar
ranging their goods, was particularly
pleased in my wanderings 10 stumble
upon u largo box packed full Of terra
Gotta children, nearly life size. The
cover had been removed and the paper
packing partly taken out, and thc
roguish, childish faces were pcerine
out as If inquiringly. II seemed as liza
group playful Youngsters had hidden
in the boz and were now laughingly
pecping out 20 see ii some one was not
going to discover them in their hiding
place, and they were Just ready to give
u joyous shout the moment they should
see that they We're found at last.
AS my space viii not admit of my
going into u detailed description of
any one department will merely
cnumcrate n few of the curious things

Walking with n friend through the
Rotmda, we saw II picture representing
the Royal Palace of i.aXcnhurg.
