they were made as special order for 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
EEigIl Prices for VictuaIs.

There appears to be.a disposition on
the part of some of the restaurant keep
erS at the fair to grow suddenly rich, if
one may be permitted to judge by the
prices they charge. At one eating house
the price of roast beef is 81, and 10 cents
extra is charged for the privilege OF
eating it. At another resort pie
is sold at 25 cents slice.
The local papers have taken up the cry
against this sort of imposition, and it Is
probable that the management will
regulate the matter. The same evil pre-
vailed at the Centennial in 1876 the first
week it was open. Today large num-
bers of visitors carried lunch with them
to the fair, having learned from expert
ence that it was not safe to visit the
restaurants inside the grounds.
A completed programme of the serv-
ices to be held in the international
Sunday building to be erected at the
Worlds fair grounds has been prepared.
A building permit was taken out to-day
for the structure, and 1t is to be COM
pleted by June 10. The programme
provides for the holding of services
every Sunday morning and evening
while the fair is in progress. These
services will be conducted by some of
,
and Europe.
Prodding Exhibitors.
I'd. II. Burnham, director OF works of
the worlds fair, today issued general
order that all work must be finished by
the 18th inst, both as to installation OF
exhibits and construction, and that
work of absolute necessity thereafter
must be done when the exposition is not
open.
A demand signed by more than 1000
Columbian guards will tomorrow be
made upon the directors of the eXposi-
tion for an increase of SIS per month in
their pay. The guards claim that $50
per month is too small for them to live
decently on, and that they were led to
creased May l. They also claim that
vanced so much since opening day that
So day will not cover it.
The German and Austrian galleries in
the fine arts building were opened to
the public this afternoon, and hundreds
of people took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to see the paintings and sculp-
lures in those regions. Guards stood at
the entrances to the other galleries and
kept the people out while the work Of
installation was in progress. The gal
lerieS which are open are not in proper
condition for public inspection, but the
SetteeS and aiSleS were filled with adj
mirers of the beautiful works Of art
which come from the q erman and
Austrian empires.
Mrs. WcAdOO Protests.
At today's meeting Of the board of
lady managers, Mrs. McAdoo, of Mon
tana, rose to protest against the report
that the ladies of the West were dis
gruntled because they had not been in
vited to meet the Duke and Duchess of
Veragua. She declared that many mar
quiSeS of France, baronS of Ger
many, and members of the nobility
of England had interests in Montana,
"and, therefore," concluded Mis-. Nc
Adoo, "whiIe you people of Chicago
only have the opportunity once in 400
years to meet duke or duchess, We are
almost daily associated with them.
Therefore, | beg you to correct your
statement Of yesterday to the etfoct that
there are disgruntled members of this
board from the West" The speech was
received with much applause and
laughter.
There promises to be a row among the
exhibitors in machinery hall over the
rate made by the exposition company
for the power used by exhibit
ors. The exhibitors claim that
in the articles of agreement
contained in approved applica-
items for space it is emphatically stated
that "power to reasonable amount will
be furnished exhibitors gratuitously."
Now they say the company has
served notice that a charge of
$50 per horsepower will be made.
Tonight, it is said. thirty-eight exhibit
ors signed al agreement which, unless
this order is rescinded, will deprive the
exposition of some of its exhibits.
The number of paid admissions to the
fair today was 1926.
