The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-10-29

Jhe largest papers here whom happened
TO meet at the fair grounds on Chicago
day, says a Chicago writer in the Phila-
delphia Times, 1t doesn't compare with
this place. Chicago is the worst city on
the globe to-day. The people who are not
allowed to live in New York, Philadel-
pbia, and Baltimore come here. That is
the class of people of which the popula
ton here is composed.
There are parts of the city in which
man wouldn't hesitate to kill you for
$3.50. And as for Sunday, very few peo-
pie here regard it. The best things are
played at the theaters on that day, and
crowds 20 to see them. The billiard
rooms are all open and the gambling
saloons, as well as many of the stores.
One may put in a good days shopping
here on Sunday if he cares to.
1t is a healthy place, however. The
wind blows almost constantly either from
the lake or across miles and miles of
prairie land. There isn't a disagreeable
odor in the city, and one need have no
fear of malaria here.
Il am from New York, and many of the
customs here struck me with amazement
when | first arrived. There is very little
Difference shown to women by the oppo-
site sex, and l have seen respectfully
dressed men walking on State street
with-well, We'll say ladies-take their
coats of in hot weather, and, throwing
them over their arms, continue their walk
in their shirt sleeves. We'd hardly see a
negro do thing like that in the east.
1.-The Chicago woman has her good
points, no doubt, and lots of them, but as
a rule they do not appear on the surface.
In short, she is not a beauty, and being
buffeted by such a crowd as throngs the
fair grounds to-day is not likely to i'm
prove her appearance
Bridget and her ways, says the New
York Tribune, can never fail TO be topic
of absorbing interest to hOusekeepers.
She is such q necessary cOncomitant of
our daily lives, her capacity for causing
trouble and discomfort is so unlimited,
and she is so apt to develop iii such to-
tally unexpected directions, that the
most intelligent woman may be pardoned
if she discusses the question of domestic
grievances rather more than the mascu-
line mind approves Of OF late years this
versatile creature has developed q new
method of procedure; taking bOarders
seems to be her latest fancy, and a regu-
lar epidemic of the commercials instinct
seems to have seized our Abigails, which,
as usual, they crafty at their mistresses'
expense.
''Would you believe it," said an indig-
nant hOuSemistress, "a strange woman
actually lived IN my house one month
last winter before / found it out! You
would not think it possible, would you,-
and l am not a careless housekeeper by
any means. l go regularly into the
kitchen every morning, and always
fancied that kept a very strict watch
over everything; and yet those women
actually kept a friend, who paid them
board, in my house without my finding it
out for all that time. l saw the woman,
too, in the kitchen from time to time; and
l knew she was often there in the even
ings; but / always supposed she was some
friend and paid no attention to her pres
ence, and if | had not found it out by the
merest accident, / dare say she would
! have remained wilh US indefinitely"
well, one is better than six, any
way said another long-suffering house
keeper. Il found last autumn when / re
turned from Europe that no less than
half a dozen people had occupied the
house during my absence, my laundress
acting as landlady and receiving theiI
board in addition to the wages which
paid her as caretaker. If it comforts you
any to know that you are not the only
victim, I can assure you that | have
heard Of a number of similar cases dur
ing the last year, but / fancy ii is an in
dustry that is short-lived; at least fore
warned is forearmed."
