NO NEED OF SUBMITTING TO
 ". EXTORTION.

The bureau of accommodation of the Columbian exposition have ordered and are circulating the following editorial taken from Chicago. paper of date of April 12:
 Chicago ofes it to the hundreds of thousands vi ho are seeking lodgings dur ing the fair protect them to the utter most against fqbbery.
 It is ta4v true fl,a+A4aZ3s.A to express or implied pledge, a number of irnkeepers, of high degree especially ,have deliberately entered upon course of ex- tortion so far as that lies in their power. They are demanding $6 to $1O per day for rooms and board, having been accus- toned to giving the same values for from $3 to $4 per day, and allowing weekly rates at a still lower figure Now these extortionists decline weekly rates alto gether There is not the slightest need of pay ing such figures during the fair. There are ample accommodations for all who will come. The phenomenal increase in hotels and boarding houses in anticipa- tion of worlds fair pressure is undoubt- edly more than enough. It is certain that extortionists. will be compelled to come down with their prices if they find that people will refuse to submit to them. There is no need of submitting to them. The question, however, is practical one. How can extortion be resisted and avoid. ed?
 | After the fair shall be open the bureau of public comfort will contribute material ly toward locating strangers. But, un. fortunately, it's facilities at present are rather meager and it's circulars are only general. It is important for persons tenn porarily disturbed from their homes anG for others wishing to come to the city by the time the fair shall open to know pre- cisely what rates they will have to pay for rooms aud board during the fair Many Chicago families desire to rem their houses furnished for part of tn, fair period. Other families wish to SC cure eligible homes for part of the si, months in the city. In order to bring to gether those having accommodations tt offer and those seeking them, the exposi tion has very wisely created separat, bureau, of which MT. Wilmot I. Good II speed, of ,215 East-st., is manager. It services are entirely free, and people wht intend visiting the fair may write to him stating the time when they expect to ar rive and how long they expectto stay ant what they desire to pay, and they will re ceive list of names of responsible peo pie who will entertain them at moderat cost during their stay.
 There is no need of submitting to ex tortion during the worlds fair. It is nee essary only to find out what the marke contains.

A correspondent of the NewY ork Times is aggrieved because most of the animals in the ZOO that have names at all have Irish names. He asserts, and the Times says it is true, that the monkeys are usu- ally Patsy, or Mike, or Teddy or Biddy, or something else just as unmistakably Irish. The keeper, being interviewed, says the charge is true, but that the names are what many may be called accidental, used by somebody without authority and gradually adopted for convenience.

THE FRANCo-RUssIAN ALLIANCE.

Since the arrival of the Russian feet
at Toulon, and the demonstration that
followed all over France, there seems to
be no doubt tnat there ie a treaty be-
tween the two nations that they will
stand together in the event of Euro
pean war. Whether there exists such
treaty or not, it is now evident that
there is 80 good an understanding be-
tween the two governments that upon
the outbreak OF hostilities France could
depend with certainty upon the moral if
not the active support OF the Gar.
So apparent ia this attitude OF amity
between the two nations that the friends
OF the dreibund are now trying to raise
the scare which has often before been
used with effect, that the alliance OF
France and Russia threatens Europe
with the danger OF being overrun with
Cossacks. The worde of Napoleon are
called up, that Europe will become
Cossack or republican. Whatever ter

that form of government, enjoyed
longer era OF prosperity
and peace than she has ever
before enjoyed. Amongst the people of
Europe there are none who are better
off in all those elements that constitute
the well being of people than the
French. Their peasantry are better
housed and better fed than they ever
were before, their artisans are prosper

was ever known to be, and the accumu.

that OF any other European nationality.
We do not forget the fact that the ap-

story is q new one to the stage, as it
deals with the true friendship OF two

through all the ups and downs of life,
sacrificing their own interests in behalf
of each other, and in many ways teach
ing lesson long needed. While l en-

was made known to US he seemed more

wander to one of the boxes, which was

accom- panied by an elderly gentleman.
But as | watched my companion more
closely l saw he always looked at a
young man who sat a little back in the
box. Well, after the curtain fell on the
third act | saw their eyes meet,
aud almost simultaneously they
arose and made their way out.

lobby they clasped hands, and for what
seemed a few moments nothing WAS

who WAS i'll the box, came out, and pat
ting each on the back, commenced talk

had happened. The young men drew a
sigh OF relief. linked arms and walked
away to the box, friends again. A little
inquiry revealed the fact that those two
young men had been college chums and
great friends almost from boyhood up,
but some little difference had to all ap-
pearance broken their friendship. But
this play of Friends had taught them q
lesson, and they only needed to look at
one another to know their friendship
was as strong as ever, and the extreme
happiness pictured on their coun-
tenances made me feel assured that this
time their friendship was one that
would not be broken.
