EROM CHICAGO.
GEN. CLARKE GETS THERE
WITH HIS BIG SOM
BRERO.
White City Bandits Still Raiding
Helpless Visitors.

Chicago, May 15.-The Worlds
Fair visitors who are in the city a
the present time will all be stranded
if they stay here much longer, only
a millionaire can stand the awful
strain on his exchequer. The ne
cessities of life are fast becoming
luxuries, and it is pity that some
thing has not been done to prevent
this wholesale robbery of people.
l am told that an effort is being made
to have the Board of Aldermen pass
an ordinance prohibiting all classes
of business men charging more than
nominal rate. The present exor-
bitant charges can't fail but have a
bad effect on the Fair in general, as it
will keep away two classes of people
those who can't afford to be robbed
and those who won't be robbed. But
l am of the opinion that after a
while rates will come down to the
standard basis, and that is why |
would advice those who contemplate
taking in the Fair. to wait a few
months.
/ took trip few miles out into
the country day or two ago, and
while there asked friend if he was
going to the Fair. His answer was:
NO; have decided on a trip around
! the world; Its cheaper.
am surprised that the silver men
! of the country haven't large guam
titles of free coinage literature here
| for distribution among the visitors.
Don't you know that the Fair is the
greatest advertising bureau anybody
ever SAW While the silver question
is being considerably discussed, still
there should be some facts and
figures handy for reference, and it
isa't too late to see that this IS at
tended 10.
Aud speaking Of advertising, now
would be just the time to advertise
Nevada and her resources, and L
wonder that your last legislature
didn't make some provision for it.
There should be several thousand
copies of the Surveyor Generals re-
port here, which could be distributed
and placed where they would do the
most good. | find lots q advertising
matter here gotten out by booming
real estate agents, who desire to dis
pose of land at fabulous prices, but
such things cannot inspire as much
confidence as an official report of a
State officer.
l met General Clarke last evening
and while in conversation with him
some street gamin whistled "Where
did you get that hatl"
Though the General seemed lit
tie discounted, | couldn't help smil-
lag, R. NJ. said he had been greatly
annoyed in this way, but would con-
tinue to wear the hat, even if it |
spoiled the Fair.
Some genius has placed nickle-
in-the-slot machine in conspicuous
place, Tabled, drop nickle in the
slot and see it disappear. :"
He reaps quite harvest every day. |
A crowd of urohins haunt the ma
chine to guy the suckers who get |
caught. An old man dropped in his
nickle the other day and the kids set
up howl. One asked: did yer
see it, Misterl'
HNo, my boy, saw nothing"
''Well. try 'er again then, and look
sharp"
In went another nickle.
ibid we see 'er that time?"
"See whatl'
"'See the nickle disappear, ye
blooming old guy. Say, you're dead
slow, see2"
Last evening accompanied by
young lady friend, | neared the sill
yer statue of Justice. | went into
raptures over it, as all men do, but 1
noticed that the young lady did not
seem to hardly notice 1t. l asked
the reason for this and she answered
me.
"What do | care for the statue of
a woman, however beautiful and
shapelyl | am woman myself, and
from physical standpoint my sex
can have no charms for me. What
