Boston Herald; Two young ladies got into an electric car yesterday afternoon. One was pretty, the other wasn't. All the seats were taken. Two young men were sitting together. They spoke Ger. man. Said one to the other Gin Germany:
 "I'm going to give my seat to the pret- ty girl"
 The other replied (also in German):
 "Well, suppose must give mine to the ugly one, then"
 Both young ladies accepted the kind ness, and thanked the kind young men in German.

COST OF SEEING THE FAIR.
Necessary Expenses for Viewing the Gres
Columbian ExpositfoD,

Necessary Expenses for Viewing the Great
Columbian Exposition.
A great question with intending Wis.,
itors 10 the Worlds Fair next year is
the expense. It has been calculated
that 1T will take at least a month, 2S
days, to get any sort of an impression,
and on that basis Chicago correspon-
dent suggests a practi aole scale of
prices. Railroad rates will prot a oly be
one full fare to Chicago from any
point for both ways. Rooms in Chicago
can be rented at III per day, which price
will insure cleanliness and comfort.
This will be $25. Car-fare TO the grounds
will be about 20 cents a day, and, sup
posing the fair is closed on Sunday, will
amount to $3.50. AS for table board, It
can be secured for from So 10 81 for
breakfast and dinner. The last figure
Will certainly insure excellent board.
Therefore S28 will cover the item.
Lunch will be served on the fair grounds
for small sum-say so cents a day
adding another S12.
Admission to Jackson Park is so cents.
and for the "a exhibition days will
amount to $12. Two dollars. however,
should be subtracte1 from that, for the
visitor may well spend four days on the
Midway Plaisance, where admission is
free. Admission, however, to the 80
concessions on the Plaissance will be as
cents apiece, and, adding the Eskimo
concession within the grounds, the whole
can be seen for $7.5O.
The cost OF catalogues, which will be
necessary to see the exhibition intelli-
gently, will be $13.75. Car fare within
the park may be reckoned at So. No
estimate can be made for Sightseeing in
Chicago nor for evening entertainments,
which may be made TO reach any figure.
AS Tor Sunday expenses 81 a week is not
too mu h to put down under this head.
Adding few dollars for incidental and
unseen expenses the total runs up to
$500 1t does not seem over confident
TO believe that this sum embraces all
necessary expenses and that the Judi
cious visitor need not expend more than
that on essentials.

To Please His wife.

A reporter tells the story of an En-.
glish Bishop who, returning from
tour of the States, occupied a large
double cabin with his wife, who was
somewhat querulous and exacting.
One night during a storm that lady
complained OF close air, and her
spouse arose and opened a portfolio,
whereupon big wooden ball bobbed
In and kept on bobbing.
The Bishop knotted up It's string
and hung it on the wall OF the cabin;
1T bumped as the vessel rocked and
annoyed the lady further. So the
patient Bishop let go the loops and
put the ball under mis- pillow, after
which peace and slumber reigned.
The next day at dinner he re-
counted his adventures of the night.
and, bridled with intense delight at
the roars OF laughter which greeted
the story, the captain recovered suf-
tlcientlY TO gasp:
''WhX man-ah--tha is my lord.

end of the ships lightning con-
ductorw-Paris Figaro.

afternoon the Columbus monument, OF
which an Illustration is given, was dedi-
Gated and in the evening there was an
historical parade, during which the city
was splendidly Illuminated. Thursday
the ceremonies closed with a banquet
at the Lenox Lyceum, at which the ora

sis OF Christopher Columbus, notwith-
standing the declaration of Mr.. Ward
McAllister, arbiter of New York "sas-

low-tail coat, play polo, go coaching,
chase the anise-seed bag, and guzzle
champagne.
The Eastern metropolis rose to the
occasion. The arrangements seem to

The peaceful b1mt ardment sounded
like naval combat, with all creation as

dynamite cruiser Vesuvius added its
crashing detonation; even the revenue

had its swarm of sight-seers; every
warehouse roof was vantage point.

When the squadron of the naval re-
