cheapest plan, aimee in the fair grounds

city. In the terminal station you may
check your hand baggage, have the free
use OF a well equipped toilet room and

CRANE or write letters, ii You wish to
do this ask a Columbian guard TO direct
you to your state building. This will
be your headquarters while at the Fair,

may feel at home,
One OF the first things to he done Is
to deposit all tho money except the
amount necessary for weeks ex-
penses. It is unsafe to carry consid-
cradle sum about you, You can de-
post your checks, drafts or money on a
certificate OF deposit in bank on the

Worlds Fair poatoftice,
This attended to, return to the tor
minal station, whore the principal Office
OF the board OF public comfort is loca-
ted, and resign yourself to its care with

WHAT 1T WILL no FOR YOU,
The moment you leave your train you
will have reason to DO grateful to the
bureau OF public comfort 1t has built
this great terminal station, provided
waiting rooms, toiletrooms, lunch tables
where you may eat what you have
brought with you or buy as cheap or as
expensive food as you wish. II has
placed in tho grounds 5000 fountains
provided with sterilized and filtered
water; 1900 closets and toilet rooms,
fitted with every sanitary appliance;
medical and emergency hospitals, where
the most scientific treatment will be
given you ityou should become i'll. All
these comforts are absolutely free,
though II you prefer you may pay one
cent q glass for mineral water from
Waukesha Wis, and five cents for the
use OF more elegantly fitted toilet
room,
In addition to all this the bureau will
refer you to lodgings and boarding
places OF all grades in the best part oil
the city with q scale OF prices, distances
from the grounds and routes OF cheap
transportation.
PRICE OF BOARD AND LODGINGS.
At down town hotels and at the new
hotels near Jackson Park the usual
hotel rates Of s. day and upward will
prevail. Near the park where three or
four persons occupy one room, the rate
for each may be made as low as 50 per
day. For from 81 to s. day you may
90 20 excellent hotels on the north and
west sides Of the city, where there will
be less crowding, or for the same price
to good boarding houses and private
families in tho vicinity OF the fair.
One dollar aud half to 81 will DO de.
manded by n good class OF boarding
houses on the North and West Sides,
Last OF all there are vast regions west
OF LaSalle avenue on the north and
spots all over that part which lies west
OF the river where one could live for as
small q sum as 81 per week.
Ifyou prefer, lodgings may be had for
about 81 day and meals may be taken
at restaurants or on the fair grounds at
about the same expense. Tho restau.
rant concession for the fair is held by
the Wellington Catering Company, and
extortion 10 not practicable, as tho
schedule OF prices was fixed by the ex-
position officials at the usual rate be.
fore the concession was granted, There
will be restaurants Of all grades, from
those as fine rs Delmonico's and the
highest priced hotels to Bullets where u
sandwich and cup Of coffee may be
had for dime. There will also be dairy
lunch rooms and the popular eating
houses whore substantial meal may
be had for from twenty-five to fifty
cents.
This method OF taking lodging aud
breakfast only is perhaps preferable, for
those who would see the most during
short visit, as you will be at dis.
tance from your boarding place at meal
time. BY taking noon lunch and
evening dinner on the fair grounds you
will be able to stay all day for one adj
mission, and you can have the added
experience OF dining in az many foreign
ways as there are various nations repre-.
sented on tho Midway Plaisance,
DoRMIToRTEs ARE CHEAPER.
There are very few exceptions to be
made to the general rule not to engage
rooms in advance OF your arrival IN
Chicago. If you intend stopping at any
hotel where you have been d guest be.
fore, you will be more certain OF your
room when you got here and should
write, engaging the room ut least
mouth in advance, specifying the time
you wish to occupy II. One other OK
ception Is furnished by tho numerous
religious and philanthropic dormitories,
Another plan for engaging rooms that
has been officially endorsed is that OF
the Worlds Fair Boarding Bureau. All
incoming trains will be mot twenty
miles out by uniformed agents, who
will DO prepared to assign visitors to
good quarters in any part OF the city
from So to s. per day. But in thus
paying for lodgings in advance it is well
to have distinct understanding OF the
character OF them. Out OF a total of'2S0
new hotels in the vicinity OF the fair at
least fttY are OF q tenement nature,
built In great hurry OF wood and stuff
and intended to DO torn down before
winter Two have already collapsed
after high winds. More than 200, how
ever, arc built substantially and will be
converted into houses or flats or con-
tinued In use us hotels permanently.
Tho difference between the fimsy aud
substantial structures may be detected
