gone so far as to ,sterilize the drinking

importance to the health Of visitors.
Again, the women OF Chicago have
organized creche, where mothers may
leave their infants in charge of compe-
tent nurses while they explore the
treasures and curiosities of the build
ings. The youngsters will be provided
with toys and games for their amuse-
ment; hammocks and cots will be fur
nished in which they may swing or
sleep when tired of romping; good food
will be provided for them; for these
services a very trifling charge, not yet

AS TO charges outside of the grounds,
let it be clearly understood that the
best hotels have said plainly that they
will not charge more than their usual
prices, and the hotels of lesser magni-
tude will be compelled to do likewise.
Chicago Is full of enterprising people,
and really enterprising people know
that extortion ruins enterprise. There
will be millions of visitors to Chicago
during the exposition season, and for
that very reason there will be fierce
competition for their custom. There
are now hundreds of restaurants in this
city at which a satisfying meal can be
purchased for from Is TO 20 cents, and
the number of such places will be
greatly increased during the year. The
scramble for the patronage of visitors
of moderate means will be furious. It
Is quite possible that the prices Of the
restaurants that cater for the people of
small incomes will be reduced by reason

CHOLERA RAGING IN RUSSIA.
Alarming Reports of the Spread of the
Dread Disease.

Alarming Reports of the Spread of the
Dread Disease.
Cholera has made its appearance
again in st. Petersburg, Ind it Is known
that fatal cases are OF daily occurrence,
although the authorities have not re-
sumed their policy of last year Of max
ing regular daily announcement of the
new cases and deaths. At present the
auth orities are pursuing policy of sup
preston and withhold from the public
all information as to the spread OF the
disease. Very disquleting rumors have
been received from the interior OF Russia,
and the Minister OF the Interior Is taxi
ing action which indicates that the Gov
ernment must possess special informa-
ton of the gravest character. The
Minister has ordered the reopening Of
the medico-sanitary stations In the
Volga provinces. where the cholera car
ried off many thousands last year, and
special steamers with sanitary STATS
will cruise In the river, stopping along
the Volga 10 pick up any cholera patient
or any dead from cholera-stricken ves-
sells plying on that stream. The Gov
eminent is also causing 10 be formed
sanitary commissions which will look
after the health of the people at the
points to be reached through the rail-
way system of Russia.

Jay Gould, and win riches, am / less

cuts short my days and presents me
from enjoying my riches? Am l less
successful as lawyer or banker be-
cause my wife is a vixen, or my
children are spendthrifts? Most GER

Sentiment Has Flown.

1t was the great reproach against
the English workhouse in old times
that husband and wife, even in ad-
vanced age, were separated, and the
touching wish embodied in "John

who is sanguine enough to estimate a

SO much has been written and said
about this Columbian Exposition that
those who are under its walls scarce

The Plain Truth.
An impression seems to prevail In
some quarters that the Columbian Ex-
position is to be cut up in some way into
sections, and that the fifty cent entrance
fee will hardly do more than admit the
visitor to the vestiblue. The truth Is,
on the contrary, that that one entrance
fee will give the visitor free access to
every building erected by the Exposition
Company, and 10 all the State and for
eign buildings, including all their ex-
hibits. Every exhibit proper may be
seen without any further entrance fee.
The false impression in question is due
to the fact that there will be some side
shows, some of them in Jackson Park.
some in Midway Plaisance. and some
elsewhere. Those In Jackson Park ana
Midway Plaisance are under the super
vision OF the exposition manage
ment, and certain per cent. of their
receipts will go 80 the management. OF

A very bad and dishonest failure
had occurred, in which a certain
trusted clerk seemed to have been
guilty of the larger share of the
crime He, with his employer, was
arrested and charged with the crime.
The clerk stoutly protested his inno-
cenCe and denied all knowledge of the
fraud or any connection with his en-
ployer
However. there was chain Of cir
cumStantial evidence woven around
him which his counsel could not
break down. The clerk was convicted
and sent to jail for term Of years.
After being confined in prison for
about year the poor fellows mind
began to weaken, and finally he broke
down completely He was taken
from prison and transferred TO a hos
pital for the insane. All the time he
continued to protest his innocence
After he had been confined in the
hospital three or four years certain
facts in the failure were elected
which clearly proved that he was en-
tirely innocent Of having committed
any crime.
OF course steps were Immediately
taken to secure the pardon of the
man; and an order was given for his
immediate release.
1t now became the delicate duty OF
the counsel in the case to break the
happy intelligence to the pardoned
clerk. After consultation between
the counsel on both sides Of the case,
it was agreed to call upon the poor
clerk and make an attempt TO arouse
him from the apathy and lethargy
into which he had fallen This they
decided to do by accusing him again
Of the theft Of the funds
The parties to this strange drama
assembled in the room Of the stricken
man. He sat silent and immovable,
with his head in his hands. AS the
old and ever ranking charge of dis
honesty fell upon his ears the effect
was exactly that which Lad been fore.
seen and expected. He slowly raised
his head. Looking his pseudo accus.
or straight in the eye he replied in a
loud tone Of voice, with rising in.
Election and with great energy:
1T is lie!"
The critical moment had come. The
lawyer who had prosecuted him and
secured his Incarceration then stepped
up to him and said:
"You are right. II is lie, and
you stand before the community a
yindicated man. have the order fol-
your release in my hand"
Then the lawyers stood off to watch
the effect, hoping that the Joy at the
prospect of release and vindicatiOn
would have the effect Of putting the
clerk again in bis right mind. But
no sign Of joy overspread the mans
features. His face bore its usual
stOlid expression. 1t seemed to have
no apparent effect upon him.
The clerk turned his face toward
the speaker, as If he did not under.
stand him. Then his head fell for
ward and he was precipitated upon
the floor at the feet Of the lawyers.
A single glance sufilced. He was dead.
