Wheeling PeopIo-Some who Left
and Some who Returned Yesterday.
Mr. r. NJ. Gileland, one OF the IN
TELLlaRScER Worlds Fair tourists,
called up the office by telephone yes.
terday to say that he was home again
and wished to express his appreciation
OF the highly satisfactory accommoda-
tions the INTELLIGENcER had secured
for him. He was at the fair during tho
crush and had every comfort For
persons desiring to sec the fair without
loss OF timo Mr.. Gilleland says there
could not be better location than the
IYrELLIGEScrn provided Tor him.
Mr.. i. NJ. Garvin and wife and Mrs.
Garvin's sister, Miss McCrum, came
back yesterday morning. Mr.. Garvin
called ut the INTELLIGESCER Office TO
thank the newspaper for contributing
10 his convenience and comfort while he
was at the fair. "We could not have
asked for better location or better
hotel than the Windsor Beach. As
soon as il was known that We wero
INrELLIGEECEH tourists we were taken
in charge and given accommodations
that surprised Us well as pleased us.
The rush was so great that ut least
sevsnty-llye persons were turned away
who were willing to pay nearly four
times rs much as we had paid the
INTELLGgNCEg for our rooms. This
made no difference to the hotel, which
| must say is conducted on the highest
principles. We were particularly fort
innate to be south OF the grounds, so
that ut no time were we bothered TO get
to the lair or back to the hotel. We
couId walk in less time than one conld
get Il car going north, and we never had
any trouble to get car within minute
or 80. Our whole trip was delightful,
and OF course We are enthusiastic adj
mirers OF the lNrELLlGEScER plan. II
we were going again We would want to
90 the same way
II is interesting for one who has not
been ut the fair TO sit by and hear the
experiences OF those who have been
together. Ali the talk is then OF the fair
and most OF it about Chicago day. One
Wheeling man said he got to Chicago
on that Monday morning, reached the
Sixty-hrst street entrance ut 1880 Il. m,
and got in at p. IN. For three hours
and a half lie struggled TO get out OF the
dense thronG which swep: him where
he did not want to 20, but found 1t
the same everywhere, and Mt .
y. m. he was propelled out OF tho sixty
fourth street gate by the crowd. not
having seen thing, as he was too busy
keeping on his teet and,out from under
other peoples. Ilo took the train for
home the same night, having enough OF
the fair. Harry Ankle, OF the Register,
gives a graphic description OF his return
TO Randolph street from tho grounds,
riding on tow OF an Illinois Central car,
with the breeze blowing forty knots
an hour" Captain WcisgGrber, OF the
Wheeling & Elm Grove road, spent
about an hour Just beside A. j. Clarke,
trying to get to the ticket window, aud
Just when they reached it the tickets
ran ous and they had to wait three
quarters OF au hour till fresh supply
arrived.
Chicago is full OF Wheeling people.
One OF them was disappointed because
he could not get $50 suite OF rooms Mt
one hotel and had to put up with SIG
suite ut second class place. while two
others boast that they only paid 80
cents u night-l7l cents piece-for Il
clean double bed. Everybody speaks
highly OF the force at the West Virginia
building. They can't do too much for
the home folks. Especially is Uncle
John Howell. the ianitor, a favorie.
John Short is now guarding Queen
Margueritc's costly lace. One well
known Wheeling boy is acting in
America" and rides horse on the
stage every night Another won much
applause BY IN Indian war dance in Il
restaurant, and atterward escaped ar
rest By saying lie was from West Vir-
ginia Tho guard happened TO be from
Mason county, this state.
Yesterday the INTELLGENCER sent out
more tourists to the Worlds Fair and
arranged for moro tofollow. 1t was not
big day. but many tourists were
booked well into next week, winch
shows wisdom on thepart of the tourists.
Adviceg from the ISrELLGENcER hotels
yesterday were to the elect that those
who give prompt notice OF their coming
can be comfortably lodged.
A party Of Ohio tourists, who went to
Chicago on the INTELLIGgNcER plan. re-
turned yesterday and dropped in to say
that when they arrived there they
found that Il friend had engaged quart
ers for them. Their hotel coupons were
ut once redeemed at their face value,
being the whole sum paid less the rail
road ticket. This can always be done
except where a specific engagement has
been entered into with hotel to hold
rooms.
In answer to many inquiries it is to
be said that the next special excursion
DAY will be Thursday OF next week, for
which the reduced ten day tickets
will be sold. Tue prospect is for Il
large party OF INrELLIuENcEG tourists on
that day.
