hotels are within a mile of any of the
railway stations. The visitor may stop
at one of these for day for from three
to five dollars and have time to secure
boarding place. 1t would be cheaper
for you, however, to leave Your trunks
at the station, take valise and UNI
brella and go at once tc Jackson park
by any one of the five routes of rapid
transit.
To get to jackson park from any
point downtown take the State street
or Wabash avenue cable line or the
ALLEY l." farther down, any one of
which will take you to the fair for five
cents. The Illinois Central may be
boarded on the lake front or YOU may
go by boat from the foot of Van Buren,
street. Either of these routes will cost
twenty-five cents for the round trip:
the train makes the trip in fifteen min
utes, the boat in forty-fve, but when
steam launch with music by band
and a view of the white City" at the
worlds fair from the water Is by far
the more enjoyable. The Illinois Cen
trail road will probably sell communal
ton tickets of twenty-five rides at a
substantial reduction on single ride,
as they do now to suburban pas
sengers. If your rooms are more
than mile from any of the entrances
to Jackson park this item of transport
tation has to be considered in the ex-
penses. 1t will not be wise to walk
much outside hegrounds, as you will
have all the walking you want inside
The distance from the center of the
city to jackson park is seven miles, and
the journey occupies from twenty to
forty-fve minutes, according to the
route you take, but if your rooms are
on the North or West side of the city a
connecting car line will have to be
taken and five cents more paid.
All roads coming into Chicago will
land passenger in the terminal sta
ton in jackson park for the price of
one admission to the fair and ten cents
in addition to the price of your railway
ticket 1t is by far the simplest and
cheapest plan, since in the fair grounds
you can transact all the necessary bust
ness incident to arrival in a strange
city. In the terminal station YOU may
che-k your hand baggage, have the
free use of well-equipped toilet room
and get a lunch as simple or as elab-
crate as you wish.
Thus refreshed you can send off tale

The most striking objects outside of
the buildings We're the great statue of
the Republic and the McMonnies foun-
tain. The statue was uncovered for
the occasion and in its new coating of
gilt presented a magnificent sight.
This piece of sculpture is undoubtedly
one of the grandest in the world, and
must certainly bring to Mr.. French, its
author, worldwide fame. The foun-
tain which for the first time scattered
its crystal sprays abroad on the open

Mr.. McMonnies, its maker, has builded
so well in this effort that his name will

The Btshon'a Advice.

An English paper tells story Of o
Sell-lSnown bishop who suffers from
impaired vision He recently held a
levee. AT length a guest approached
md said:
"How do you do my lord? My mother
wishes to be kindly remembered to
you"
"Ah," said the bishop, that is very
good Of her And how is the dear old
soul? Nothing like good old mother!
BE sure to take care of your old mother.
Good morning"
The bishop did not in the least know
who his visitor was, and said to his foot
man: "Who was that?"
"The servant replied: THE last gen.
tleman who left your lordship's recep-
ton is the duke of Connaught."

From the Antipodes.

"The Welcome Stranger" will be seen
in Chicago this year. For that matter
several million welcome strangers will
be there. But the particular one having
the best right to the title will come as e
part of the mineral exhibit from New
South Wales. THE Welcome Stranger
is nugget of gold weighing 3,O4C
ounces found in 1869. 1t will be the
central feature of the exhibit of which
it will be q part, and while on exhibi
ton will be guarded by force of de-
tectives specially detailed for the pur
pose. As there will be no extra fec
charged for peep at the antipodal
beauty few people will visit the EXPOSE
ton and go away without having
seen it.

wise, perhaps, for there were many
cases of extortion reported. Exorbi-
tant charges We're made in some of the
restaurants, but such a row has been
kicked up in various quarters that the at
tention of the fair officials has been at
tracted and their assistance enlisted to
discourage any further attempts at ex-
tortion.
When the people learn the ms and
outs of the fair there will be few cases
of overcharging to report There are
restaurants at the fair where meals can
be had at reasonable prices, and they
will profit in the long run by keeping
their prices down, for they are sure to
get the bulk of the patronage. In re-
gard to transportation to and from the
fair there are some things to be learned
which when known will enable visitors
to save much expense. A few hints on
the subject may be of service at this
time.
The railroads terminating or center
ing in Chicago have nearly all come to
an agreement on rates that vary from
twenty to twenty-five per cent. reduc-
ton on round-trip tickets. So many of
the roads have come down to the neigh
borhood of two cents mile that others
will be compelled TO do SO in order to
get passengers. There will also be fire.

the rates for these will depend on the

desire to come to the fair from dis
tance. They are not TO exceed one and
one-half cents mile, however, and may
be as low as one cent.
This will be easy enough to manage
from the visitors local station. 1t will
be wheny you arrive at one of the railway
stations of Chicago that your troubles
will begin. You will be confused by
the crowd and strange streets, and will
have but the vaguest notion of where
to go or how to get there if you do
know. In the first case you can leave
your trunks for twentyfour hours in the
baggage.room, where they will be safe
and will cost nothing for storage. Hand
baggage can be left at the checking
counter, which is to be found in each
station, for day for ten cents for each
package Thus relieved of bundles, you
can ask policeman how to get to
certain point on a street car or you can
take cab.
The legal rate of fare for one-horse
vehicle for one mile or less for one or
two persons is fifty cents. For the sec
ond and subsequent miles twenty-five
cents. If taken by the hour the rate is
seventy-fve cents per hour. For two
horse carriages twice this amount may
be demanded for two persons and fifty
cents additional for every passenger
over this number. Children under four
teen are charged twenty-five cents, but
those under five years are carried free.
One trunk not exceeding one hundred
pounds in weight and twenty-five
pounds of hand baggage is also taken

Happened in Sight of 80, 900 Visitors.

CHICAGO, July 10.-Fire was discov.
cred In the tower of the big cold storage
warehouse near the Sixty-fourth street
entrance Of the Worlds Fair at 1850 o.
M. to day. While large number of
hremen were on the dome of the build
ing flames burst out below them and
they were forced to Jump to the roof
below, a distance of about one hundred
feet. a few minutes later the tower
fell upon the roof crushing it and carry.
ing into the burning building large
number OF fremen, dead and alive.
Among those carried down by the tower
were some who had come upon the roof
to help their companions who had fallen
or jumped from the dome. This all
happened in sight of twenty or thirty
thousand visitors to the fair. The
excitement among them was indescrib.
able. No accurate estimate of the loss
OF life or money Is as yet possible.
Wildly exaggerated stories of the ex-
tent OF the loss have gone abroad. Fire
marshal Murray reports fourteen
hremen killed; that two or three
painters at work in the tower
and that several Columbian guards
who joined in the effort to extin.
guish the fire at it's first appearance
lost their lives. The financial loss will
probably exceed half q million.
The cold storage warehouse is des.
troyed. Its dimensions were lao by 255
feet. 1t had massive tower, running
to an altitude Of eco feet. The place
was QUILTED with complete apparatus
for the manufacture OF ice, cold storage.

CAIRO, Ills, July 10.-Much excitement
still prevails over the lynching of C. j.
Miller at Bardwell, Ky. Some doubt is
now expressed as to his guilt His first
examination was held ut Wickliffe, XIV,
Friday morning. 1t had been generally
understood up to that time that there was
blood on the clothing of the negro and that
razor and large pocket knife which he
carried were also covered with blood. 1t
turned out that not one of those who were
present at the examination was convinced
in his own mind That there were blood
stains on the knife and razor or his cloth
ing The aid Of microscope was called
into requisition to facilitate the cxamina-
zion. but 1T failed to reveal blood stains
Wlckliffe people, thinking that the
proofs were insufficient, refrained from
lynchlng Miller and preferred to wait de-
velopments. After short talk by the
sheriff of Carlisle county he was allowed
10 convey the prisoner from the court

on train for Bardwell. 1t was intended

the murder was committed
The mob of more than 1000 gathered at
Bardwell were thirsting for revenge for
the brutal murder of the innocent girls,
and as the evidence against the man was
exaggerated and distorted as the story
went from mouth to mouth the people
had made up their minds that he was
guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.
After the man was dead there was no
feeling of jubilation manifested. On the
contrary, sort of mental wet blanket
seemed to settle down over the crowd Two
out of every three men cautiously ex-
pressed doubts as to the propriety of their
action, and said they feared that Miller's
connection with the murder was not fully
established.
DEXTER, Mo, July 1O-News reaches
here that great excitement prevails i'll the
vicinity of Sykestown, twenty miles east of
here in Scott county, where the negro Mil
Ter, who murdered the Ray girls near
Bardwcll, Ky, was captured, and that an
effort was likely to be made to run the ne
groes out of that locality. There will prob
ably be serious trouble, as many of the old
citizens and large farmers of that part of

large amount of negro labor and will de-
