ST. Louis. Mo, March 1S.-There is
no city in the United States that has

ingmen and owned by them.
st. Louis is to have one very soon
The lodges and unions of the city have
discovered that they are paying to the
owners of the various halls in which
they held their meetings something
like $50, 900 a year in rent. and they
are tired of it. The ruling rate of in.
tereSt here is eight per cent The
workingmen could pay the interest on
$3.50, 900 with the money they now
spend for rent. That is the way they
look at it, and the contemplation of
the fact has driven them TO the dcciS-
ion to build hall to cost about $780,
900 and pay for it by the rent charged
the organizations that use it. AS all
the building trades are supporters of
the plan the building will probably be
erected without delay, the idea being
now to finish IL this year.
new charity has been established
in st. Louis on such broad founda-
ton that its success is guaranteed. 1t
has been found that some of the chill
dren in the public schools were so in
sufficiently fed that it was useless to
expect them to study. They were sent
off in the morning with a scanty break
fast and no lunch. and got only a little
to eat at night. A plan to help these
families was at once put into opera
ton, in charge of the Provident Asso-
citation. Agents were sent around to
the homes of all the school children
who were inadequately clothed and
fed, and systematic relief was pro-
vided for the heads of the families.
The plan was suggested first a month
ago, and the principals of the schools
report that il has resulted in great
increase of pupils and much more salts
factory work. The charity will be
made permanent one, and il has as
surance of strong financial support.
There has been already rush of ex-
hibitors to the Exposition, which opens
in September, and the management
has been forced TO warn those who in
tend to make displays that they must
choose their position at once, if at all.
The many new attractions of the Ex-
position have been 50 thoroughly adj
vertised all over the country that the
managers expect ten times as many
railway arrangements will be made
accordingly. The art galleries and the
exhibits of electrical wonders will be
especially alluring. Director Sousa's
famous Marine Band of Washington,
which for years has divided the honors
with Gilmore, will furnish the music,
beginning the first night of the Ex-
position. There will be two great
pageants while the Exposition lasts,
the Yelled Prophets parade, and the
Columbian procession, and considering
the sight-seers these will draw, besides
those who come for the Exposition
alone, the hotels and clearinghouse
keepers of the city do not think they
are too sanguine in making their ar
rangements to accommodate half u
million people during the months of
September and October.
