AMPLE ACCOMMODATIONS
Plenty Of Room for Visitors to the
Columbian Exposition.
George w. Chlds Tells Through His Pa
per of His Personal Observations While
at the Dedication of the Fair
Buildings.


For the reason that reports to tn
contrary have been widely published
it is desirable that it should be under
stood that, during the continuance O
the Columbian fair at Chicago in 1898
there is every reason to believe thai
there will be ample accommodations
provided for all persons, no matter how
great their number, who may wish to
visit the exposition.
The Philadelphia Ledger makes this
statement upon the basis of personal
observation and investigation of the
length and breadth of Chicago's exist
ing and projected resources. The num-
Der of the entirely respectable hotels
of the city is already exceedingly large.
Some of them are as architecturally
magnificent and as su1nptuously pro-
vided with all the appliances and fit
tings of luxurious living as the most eX-
acting could demand. The charges of
all the hotels of this class are high but
not exorbitantly so, or, in fact, no high
or than they are justified in being by
the Injuries and comforts provided for
| guests, or than are the rule in the best
hotels of other cities.
Those which may be called the sec
ond-class hotels, in which many luxur-
les and all the comforts Of agreeable
living may be enjoyed, are still more
numerous Ihelr charges are not hlgh'
oelng no higher imam those OF similar
notes IN Fhlladelphia or New YORK,
Ihere are many third ana fourth
class hotels in Chicago, decent, clearly
ana Ialrly comfortable the charges OF
Whlch are SO low as not 10 TAX unauly
the monday purse OF the average salary
OF wage-earher'
In addition to the hotels the name OF
respectable boarding and lodging
houses OF hlgher or lower class, higher
OF lower prices, is legion. Further,
there Is IN Chlcago class OF Hat
houses scarcely known IN thls or IN any
eastern CITY. u Is class OF houses
generatly OF three stories, each entire
story oelhg separate nat, all having a
common entrance ana stairway, but

Many OF these Hat houses are situated
IN the pleasantest parts OF the city, are
handsomely constructed without and
WITHIN, and large proportion OF them
are elegantly furnished and supplied |
with housekeeping facilities. These
mats, IN coed neighborhoods, rent for |
from twenty-five To thirty dollars per
month. others h2ying more rooms
