Persons from this section Of country cor ten.
plating trip to Philadelphia during the Cen

of the pleasure of such a visit greatly Increased
nv the information that 10 addition to the
likelihood Of their being ass gDed TO hotel room
previously occupied by negroes, as was lately
made apparent by the decision OF the U s.
Court in the Fields Cook case, they will eujoy
the supplemental luxury OF having to pay ex-
orbitant charges for such rooms.
The Washington Star says: "Notwithstand-
ing the statements of the Philadelphia Journals
that only moderate prices will be charged for
hotel accommodations during the Centennial,
the contrary is the truth, as persons who have
lately been there can testify. Already the no.
tells have increased their rates very materially.
AS an instance of their Ccutennlai prices, 1t
NAV be stated that W ashingtonlau, who re-
Gently stopped at the Continental for night,
was charged 81 tor dinner, logging and brc X
fast, At a second rate hotel he was Subse-
oueuty charged 81 per day for the use o! u
room aloue, said room being seven by ulnc
apartment located in near proximity to tbs:
root. If prices have already been advanced
like this, what may not be expected when To-"
big show is in full operation and the city Is
crowded with visitors? Those who intend
visiting Pnllade lphia during the coming SUM

them they can take along supplies OF commls

Of preference for Blaine in the interests OF har-

against it earnestly Before this scheme was
