Proceedings of the Business Meeting Yes
terday Afternoon.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
was held at their rooms SO Oak street,
Yesterday with good attendance. In
the absence of the president, Miss Dow
presided.
Among important question discussed
was that of carrying on the Free Kinder
garten the coming yesr. There is no
question about its desirabiity, but the
question of expediency has been most
vexing one, simpy because of lack of
sufficient funds The good property
holders of Portland do not yet quite be-
Eeye in the true communistic idea, per-
haps the time will come when such a
condition will exist In the meantime
ways and means must be devised for
the payment of teachers salaries and in
cidental expenses. After free express
ion, the union voted to continue the
school for the coming year. Miss Wood
man, a true Kindergarten, has been APP
pointed as teacher, and here in this con-
nection, let it be said with due reverence,
that if any of the friends of the union
would prefer to endow it now, rather
than add a codicil to their last wills and
testaments for that purpose, such an act
would meet with general approval, we
are sure.
Who has not laughed and cried over
Timothy's Quest, Birds Christmas Carol
and the other books written by that
charming writer, Kate Douglass Wiggin.
1t was whispered at the meeting that
possibly Portland people would have the
pleasure of hearing her read an original
manuscript story some time this fall.
Mrs Hunt, Mrs. French and Mrs. Nc
Donald were constituted committee to
consider the matter. The following
named persons were appointed delegates
to the state convention, which is to be
held in Rockland the last of the month:
Mrs. William Leavitt, Mrs. J.. E. Nc
Donald, Mrs. N. S. Fernald, Mrs. A. B.
Cole, Mrs. Helen Humphrey, Mrs. Roxanna
Homsted, Miss Alice Fernald.
An expression of sympathy for the
president of the union, because of her
accident, was unanimously shown by
rising vote

A Large Insurance Policy.

Insurance men in this cityshad sur
prise party yesterday, when it became
known that Mr. F. HI. Hazelton, manager
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,

fed at the head Office of the company,
where such an occurrence seems not to
be very exceptionable. This company are

PROTECTION FOR ALL.
Work of the Bureau of Information and
Public Comfort.

"Ork OF the bureau or Information ana
Public Comfort.
The bureau of protection and public
comfort was organized to assist in the
care of visitors, who might otherwise
be defrauded by INSCRIPTIONS persons.
In general the purpose of this bureau
is to ascertain what the hotel facilities
of the city are and what the cost of
living will be. 1t has been learned
that, exclusive of the downtown hotels
and large structures near the fair
grounds. good accommodations at mod
crate prices can be had for at least
$4,000 people. This is in the district
bounded by North avenue and Sew
enty-ninth street, the farthest only
an hour distant from the park
The average scale of prices ranges
from Sl.?6 for n single person in
small room to $3.50 for a large room
occupied by four people. The hotels
have capacity for 1876, 900, exclusive of
the big downtown hostelries, which
can accommodate 10000 more. The
temporary hotels within a radius of
one-half mile of the exposition will
take $4,000 people. Besides there are
the religious organizations, clubs, CO.
operative associations and dormitories
with extensive arrangements. So that
the full capacity of the city for lodg-
ing strangers will not fall far short of
zoo, 900, number which is in excess of
the estimate of the people who will at
any one time sleep in Chicago. The
average daily attendance at the CEN
tennial was 1888, the largest being
274,919. The average in Paris was
$50, 900, the largest single days adnis-
sion being 400, 900. Three-fourths of
the people who will attend any one
day will be people. who live near enough
to sleep at home. The attend
ance is very largely drawn from a pop
ulation within limited radius from
the site of the exposition. Thus, for
instance, statistics of the Paris EXPOSE
ton show that on days when the at
tendance averaged 900, 900 at least 1907
600 came from Paris and its environs.
ence in national habit as regards trav-
cling long distances. allowing, too. for
the unlimited stimulus to travel given
by the excursion system planned by the
railroads OF this country for the COM
ing event, it seems hardly possible that
more than an average of 200, 900 non-res-
idents will be in Chicago at any one time
during the exposition Assuming, then,

But it was thought fitting that the
president of the nation should be the
guest of the president of the expo
sition, and it is more than likely that
the magnificent home of Mr.. Higin-
botham, Twenty ninth street and

Die, ana there is as great variety as
there are nations under the sun.
French, Chinese, Viennesc, Turkish,
Mexican, Japanese-all these and
scores of others offer distinctive bills
of fare, with viands fraueht with mys-
terry to the American palate. New
England dinners, lunches, table d'hote
service, la carte restaurants and
every known type of what wcsterners
call ''eating houses" are provided.
Prices range but little higher than
those of downtown restaurants of the
better class. Meals can be had for 35
cents, but so cents will be about the
average price for substantial lunch.
Wines, liquors and beer will be served
at all restaurants. Cigars can be had
at hundreds of stands, but in certain
places only is smoking allowed. Ex-
tortion need not be feared. The ex-
position company is interested in the
welfare of every enterprise in the
grounds. and is anxious to have each
person attend the exposition as often
as possible. To secure this attendance
the visitor must be protected from
overcharges, and this it can be assured
will be done.

| Visitors who witnessed the dedica-

other thousands walked the entire
seven miles to the center of the town

stations. The cable lines have in
creased their equipment, power and

The Illinois Central road has eight
