Chicago Proposes to Have Well Paved
Streets and Everything in Good Order.
Especial Correspondencel
CHICAGO, June 16.-Chicago will have
well paved streets, clean streets, and first
class general sanitary arrangements during
the Worlds fair year. These are three very
essential conditions to the comfort and
convenience of the hundreds of thousands
of guests that the city Will be called upon
to entertain between May and November,
1898, and the latter feature, in particular,
may be commended to the consideration of
! the members of the medical fraternity, at
home and abroad, who will gather here in
| international convention before the doors
of the big show have been closed. 1t may
seem a small matter TO dwell upon, but it
! isn't. The three points in question are
/ neceSSaries in their way, and it must be
/ confessed that at the present time the
streets Of the city are anything but well
/ paved, anything but cleaniy, and that
moreover, the general sanitary arrange
ments might be vastly improved upon.
If cleanliness is next 10 salvation, then
the city of Chicago is good many leagues
away from the gates of the New Jerusa-
lem New York. Boston, Philadelphia,

that is moving toward giving Chicago a
new bib and tucker. That has been left to

rather a large number of social clubs,

and between the two bodies there is little
doubt but that the objects aimed at will be
fully accomplished
That is a novel idea that has been
preached by Commissioner Bynum, of Mis-
sissippi, who is working earnestly and in
defatigably for good representation from
his state. He thinks that there are lots OF
people who would like TO come to Chicago
with their families and devote many weeks
in inspecting and studying the exhibits,
but who could not do 50 if they were under
a heavy tax for room and board Conse-
quently he suggests that the board Of di-
