TO THE PUBLIC.

WORLDS COLUMBIAN Expost-
TIoN, CuIcAGo.-To the public |:
Because OF many misrepresentation
and misstatcments relative to Expo
sition management and affairs
being in circulation through the
press and otherwise, both IN this
country and abroad, and in reply to
many letters OF inquiry or COM
plaint touching the same matters,
it seems advisable that son official
statement regarding them should
he made to tho public. Therefore
| respectfully ask that the widest
publicity be given to the following
facts:
J. The Exposition will DO opened
in readiness for visitors May /.
2. An abundance of drinking
water, the best supplied to any
great city in the world, will DO pro-
vided free to all. The report that
"a charge would be made for drink
ing water probably arose from the
the fact that hygeia water can also
be bad by those who may desire it
at one cent glass.
3. Ample provisions for seating
-
will DO made without charge.
4. About 1000 toilet rooms and
closets will be located at convenient
points in the buildings aud about
the grounds, and they will be abso-
lutely free TO the public. This IS
ns large number in proportion to
tho estimated attendance as has
ever been provided IN any exposi-
ton. In addition to these there
will also be nearly an equal number
of lavatories and toilet rooms of a
costly and handsome character as
exhibits, for the use of which a
charge Of five cents will be made.
3. The admission fee of so cents
will cntitle tho visitor to sec and
enter all the Exposition buildings,
inspect the exhibits, and, in short,
to see everything within the Expo
sition grounds, except the Esqui-
mau Village and the reproduction
Of the Colorado cliff dwellings.
For these as well as for the special
attractions on Midway Plaisancc n
small fec will be charged.
6. imposition or extortion of any
DESCRIPTION will not be tolerated.
z. Free medical and emergency
hospital service is provided on the
grounds by the Exposition manage
ment.
8. The Bureau of public Comfort
will provide commodiOus free wait
ing rooms, including spaciou s
ladies' parlor and toilet rooms IN
various parts Of the grounds.

WHY HE WANTED THEM.

The following is reported but we
don't vouch for it's truthfulness
An old gentleman in the county,
believing that he was on his dying
bod, sent to town and procured two
lawyers, thinking of course, that
the old man desired some legal
business to be done. They went IN
with their paper aud ink ready to
fix up Tho last will aud trsta-
ment." The old man arranged
them in seats so that one was at
the foot and the other Mt the head
of the bed. Everything in readi-
ness, the lawyers, in very "pro-
fesSional" manner, asked the old
mau how they could serve him and
whether he was ready for his will to
be written, etc. But you imagine
their feelings whom the old man
quietly said: " am about to pass
away, and want to die like Christ
between two thieves. - Wilkes
boro IN. O. Chronicle.

WHAT A BABY is.

A London paper awarded two
guinea prize for the best definition
of a baby. The woman who won
the prize senS in this answer:
a tiny feather from the wing of
love dropped into the sacred lap Of
motherhood.
The following are some Of the
definitions given
The bachelors horror. the moth
er's treasure, and the despotic
tyrant Of the most republican house
hold.
The morning caller, MONDAY
crawler, midnight brawler.
The only precious possession that
never excites envy.
The latest edition of humanity.
Of which every couple think they
possess the finest copy.
A native Of all countries who
speaks the language of none.
About twenty-five inches of coo
and wiggle, writhe and scream,
filled with suction and es.ing
apparatus for milk, and automatic
alarm to regulate supply.
a quaint little craft called limo.
ccnce, laden with simplicity and
love.
A thing we arc expected to kiss
and look us if we enjoyed it.
A little stranger with free pass
to the hearts best affections.
That which makes home happier.
love stronger, patience greater.
hands buster, nights longer, days
shorter, purses lighter, clothes
shabbler, the past forgotten, the
future brighter.
A human flower untouched by
the finger Of care.
The magic spell by which the gods
transform u house into home.
A stranger with unspcakable
cheek, that enters u house without
a stitch to his back and is received
with open arms by every one.
A bursting bud on the tree OF
life.
The smartest little craft anoat in
homes delightful bay.
A mite Of humanity that will cry
no harder # pin is stuck into him
than he will il the cat won't let him
pull her tail.
Tho sweetest thing God ever
made and forgot to give wings to.
A pleasure to two, nuisance to
every other body and a necessity to
the world.
An inhabitant Of Lapland.
The most extensive employer OF
female labor.
The pulp from which the leaves
Of life's book are made.
A paddock on the chain Of love.
A soft bundle Of love aud trouble
which VIC cannot do without.
It's a sweet and tiny treasure,
A torment and q tease.
It's an autocrat, an anarchist,
Two awful things to please.
It's a rest and peace disturber,
With little laughing ways.
It's wailing human night alarm,
And terror Of your days.

became of her, had afterward gone down
to the lower deck, and that had not seen
her after that.
81 agreed to make the statement, and
afterward told the story to Mrs. Austin"
Miss Howard testified rather reluctantly,
and Judge Conlan spoke quite harshly to
her a number of times, saying that it re.
quired the power of four-h0rse team to
drag the truth out Of her.
Then Mr.. O'Keefe began to question her
again.
"Did you visit DR.. Vests Office between
the 1st aEd 18th of September"
''No."
"You were there about the 1st?"
"Yes"
"Wbom did you see there besides Miss
Staley?"
"a dark-haired, short lady with a black
dress. l heard DE-. West call her Alice"
Miss Howard explained that the reason
she had at first declined TO answer the
question as to whether she had seen any
patient at DR.. Vests was that she had de-
termined not to testify, but after she got
on the stand she made up her mind to tell
the entire truth. She admitted that the
story she had told Mrs. Austin and Mr..
Gilnrour was entirely false.
Mr.. Wilson did not cross-examine.

DR.. Vests face looked little more
yellow and his general appearance a little
less tidy than usual when he stumbled up
the steps leading from the noisome base
ment used as city prison to the Police
Court yesterday afternoon. But be was
just as smiling as ever. and he told Attor-
uey Wilson that he was feeling quite well.
Mrs. West had been sitting in the court
roam waiting for him, and when she
heard the clank of the big iron lock on the
door at the foot Of the stairway leading TO
the dock, she fixed her eyes on the dock
gate, looking steadily in that direction
until the whiskers of her husband became
visible above the railing. ALI during the
examination she was very merry. Even
when the strongest testimony against her
husband was being given she smiled, and
the defendant smiled back.
There was the usual crowd of curious
people One woman wanted to hear the
story of Miss Gilmour's death SO badly
;hat she brought her baby with her to the
courtroom. The little one began to cry
just before the proceedings began and the
bailiff told her that she could not remain.
Very reluctantly she went away.
