5000 Women a Day.
A GREAT WORLDS FAIR HOTEL FOR
THEIR CHEAP ACCOMMODATION.
Good Rooms For Thirty Cents.


The Board of Managers, Women's
Department, Worlds Fair, has outlined
plan for and authorized the con-
structiOn of a unique Worlds Fair
Hotel for women, The wOman's hotel
will give room, bed, light, ETC., for
about 30 cents a day, within two
squares of the north main entrance to
Jackson Park. The building will be
put up by stock company, and shares
will be sold at So each. ANY woman
of good character may purchase the
shares through authorized agents, who
will be under direction ofthe WOman's
Board throughout the country, and
each certificate of stock will entitle the
person presenting it to its face value
in the house. Thus 5000 women will
be lodged day after day.
FOR ACTUAL WORKING WOMEN.
1t is estimated that each shareholder
will remain about fortnight. It is
probable that $4,000 women will TINS
be enabled to visit the fair who would
otherwise not be able to do so. While
the stock will be sold without question
to those that are worthy, it is reason
ably expected that the advantages of
1t will be reserved for actual working
women. The members of the WOman's
Board throughout the county, will
allOt the stock in such a manner as to
make it promote the primary end in
view. Young women especially, will
be sought for its benefits, since in the
WOman's Hotel they would have that
security and protection which older
women would not require in like
degree.
THE SLEEPING ROOMS.
TIE building will contain mainly, of
course, small sleeping rooms, the
smallest to be 10 feet by 6, amply
large for a single bed and the simple
furniture required. The stvle of bed
is not yet determined. Several novel
padded couches are under considera-
tiOn. Four large rooms, one at each
angle of each story, will be drawing
rooms, fitted with reading and writing
materials and tables.
TEACHERS TO LODGE IN SCHOOL BUILD
INGs.
Another project the Board of Man
ayers is considering, is totally distinct
from this, but not less admirable or
practicable. It is to lodge the teach
ers belonging to the National Teachers
Association that will meet here 10000
strong, during the fair. The Woman's
Board proposes that the public and
private sehool-houses iD the neighbor-
hood of Jackson Park shall be used for
their accommodation. Consent of the
Board of Education is to be asked, and
it is confidently believed that il will be
obtained. II is possible to provide for
thousands in the school buildings
without injuring them in the least.

Transcript, that there is plenty of work
at Delaware City at the present time,
and the outlook for the coming season
was never better. Besides the large
number of men engaged in the fishing
industry. a force of men began work on
the Delaware Battery Wednesday, and
another force will be set to work on
Fort Delaware on the first week in
May. The operations at Delaware
Battery are superintended by Mr..
Reuben Anderson, of Delaware City,

Low Freights to Europe,

The New York Times reports that
ocean freights are in a bad wav again.
1t says that some of the tras- Atlantic
liners are taking grain for LIVERPOOL
tor immediate shipment, at the very
low rate of Id or two cents bush ell.
The competition in the ocean carry
ing trade is very great. The competi-
tion would be increased by the an
pearance of the American flag in that
trade. There is not much money to
be made in the business and this is the
reason why the American flag is not
represented in it,
A great nation, such as this is, with
an extensive coast line, ought, how
ever, to have its flag ahOat on the
ocean highway without regard to the
money to be made, but simply because
nature has given maritime interests to
it, the control of which ought to be in
its own bands, and in order to have
sailors trained for public uses when
ever they are needed. But in doing
all this care should be taken not to
destroy our own ship-yards, since ships
without shipyards are like a gun with
out powder, or a railway without
repair shop, or wagons and horses
without blacksmith shop.-Morning
