LETTER FROM CHICAGO.
Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
nr,n...oo LII Dat IL n m 1909

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. IL, a. M, 1898.
1t may be interesting to the readers of the
ADVOCATE to know how their Sc Carroll
county people got to the Worlds Fair and how
thew are ENJOYING it. We left Baltimore
about noon, Saturday last, in special car, and
enjoyed the advantage of all being together
and not being crowded. Several times in
truders boarded orr car and insisted on oe-
cupying seats that were temporarily vacated,
but they were as often informed by Mr..
Schaeffer that it was a special car for our
party. One man, however, hesitated and
insisted on staying until he was put of. Mr..
Schaeffer spread himself to his full proper
tons and the intruder beat a hasty retreat.
Our trip to Chicago could not have been
more pleasant. We reached Pittsburg about
1880 D. m. After leaving it most of the
party tried to sleep. but Anders, particularly,
was noisy and meant that no one should sleep
while he was not sleeping. All took it COCA
humoredy. At last Anders became sleepy,
then it was our time. We left him sleep,
but when he awoke, he found himself tattooed
with ink and bound hand and foot like u
criminal The ride over the prairie of North.
ern Indiana and Illinois, was much enjoyed
by all. Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed upon Mr.. Milton Schaeffer, local agent
mrable way in which he managed our trip,
always having in view the pleasure and com
fort of the party. At Fit. Wayne, Indiana,
resolution expressive of this fact was pre-
sented by DR.. i. W. Herring, and unani-
mously adopted, to which Mr.. Schaeffer re-
sponded in few fitting words, saying he
would have the resolution framed and hung
in his library. We reached Chicago at 8 p.
M, Sunday. Our party went at once tc
Washington Park, which was near the rail
road station where we got off. A committee
consisting of Messrs. Schaffer, DIR. Weaver
and Harry Keefer, was sent out to get lodg-
ing-a big undertaking in the crowded city.
We waited in the park till about O'Clock,
when the committee returned and reported
that they could not secure lodging for all at
one place and that it would be necessary to
separate and get lodging in private families
Meanwhile, we at the park, had been looking
out for ourselves in case our committee
failed, and most of us had engaged lodging
from citizens who were visiting the park, so
all were Accommodated, though some not the
best. Mrs. Burgoon and |. with several
others are stopping at 3745 Vernon avenue,
and have a comfortable home. Most of our
party expect to remain the full ten days, the
limit of their tickets.
