The Death Penalty.

A strong effort was made in the
legislature OF Massachusetts last week
to pass a bill abolishing the death
penalty, but the discussion developed
the fact that the advocates of the
measures are making little progress
in that state. They are met by the
argument that it is almost impossible
to secure the enforcement of life sem
tences Of Imprisonment, by reason of
the frequent pardons for such crimi-
mails. When the measure came to a
vote the bill to abolish hanging was
rejected by the decisive vote of 100

penalty was abolished a generation

Japan tea is prepared from the original

carried down from the ancientS; what
utensils for cooking tea and what decOra-
tions of the house, both interior and eN
terror, are essential for welcoming the tea

japanese architecture, old historical

And it must be confessed the japanese
know their business.
OF al the international novelties at the
exposition to which an admission fee is
charged this is about the most delightful.
While the japanese refresh the eye with
pretty things and the inner man with
their glorious tea the continental Euro
peans and the Africans and Arabians seem
to think the western world wants nothing
but beer and dancing. Along the Midway
plaisance, the special section of exposition
sideShOws, one may drink beer a. it Is

and Costume company, commonly known
as "The Beauty Show"
have received many inquiries from my
readers concerning the cost of a visit to
the Midway plaisance. Many people are
surprised to read in the papers that to see
all these attractions costs about Sl2, and
some think it an imposition upon the pub
lie that such things should be permitted
They do not understand the situation. 1t
is true the cost OF seeing all these side
shows is at least S12, but there is no rea-
son why visitor who feels he cannot af-
ford it should visit any or all of them. A
good part of the show, glimpse of the in
ternational spectacle, may be had by sim
ply walking through the plaisance which
costs nothing beyond the 80 cents adnis-
sion to the exposition itself.
The Midway plaisance is simply sec
ton of the exposition set apart for the oc-
cupancy of these sideshOws or special
amusements There is no more reason
why one should spend his Sl2 to see them
all than there is a good reason why he
should go to all the innumerable places of
amusement in Chicago itself. or why he
should buy all of the articles displayed for
sale The only way in which these novel
ties could be assembled here from all parts
of the earth was by permitting them to
charge an admission fee; and the manage
ment of the exposition did well to provide
a place for them, for many visitors are
able to pay the price of entering their
gates and are glad of the opportunity of
doing so. For those who do not wish or
cannot afford to enter there is enough to
see, heaven knows, without the sideshows.
While it costs something like Sl2 to en-
ter all of these attractions, few visitors
will care to make the grand rounds. A
iudicious selection will enable one to see
the best of them at an expense of three or
four dollars This may be done at the
luncheon hour, as many of the villages and
enclosures have their cafes and restaurants
where the prices are reasonable and where
one may sit for a half hour or longer and
rest. Besides, the prices of admission to
these sideshows are being gradually re-
duced. The enterprising foreigners who
came here expecting to find the Americans
a race of millionaires or spendthrifts are
already discovering their error. 1t is true
the Americans will spend more money for
travel and amusement than any other peo-
pie in the world, but they are quick to de-
tect imposture and they readily resent inn
position. Many of our shOwmen from
over the sea have already cut their prices
in two in the middle, and others will find
it to their advantage to follow suit. The
restaurant keepers in the exposition
proper, and the hotel keepers without the
gates and in Chicago itself, are discover
ing the same thing. The truth is, as l
said in an earlier letter, that all business
here will have to be governed by the laws
of supply and demand. There is keen COM
petition in amusements, in restaurants,
in hotels and in furnished rooms. There
are accommodations for twice or thrice the
number of people who have made their
appearance here, and all prices and
charges are gradually coming down to a
common sense popular level
