Dangers Which Await Young Girls at the
Worlds Fair.
The following timely note of warning
to parents of young girls is now being
widely published. and it is to be hoped
that the wise suggestions therein con-
tanned will be carefully observed by all
whom it may concerns:
I'VE the members of the societies of
Chicago, interested in the welfare OF
women, who are in a position TO know
the dangers here threatening young, in
experienced or thoughtless girls, give
this warning to mothers and guardians
of such young persons who may visit
Chicago during the worlds fair.
IF possible accompany your daugh-
tiers on their visit to the worlds fair,
but under no consideration permit them
to leave home without the escort and
supervision of a trustworthy person of
mature age and experience. If you
have no relatives or friends with whom
you can stay awhile in the city, or il
YOU are unable to put up at frst-claSS
hotel, be careful in your selection of
boarding house. Beware of the nice,
quiet resort for ladies' recommended by
some dashing stranger. Some of these
places are in fact designation houses

skill in Chicago during the worlds fair.
People who have seen the feats these
men perform at Agricultural hall in
London say that their skill is something
wonderful. One of their most difficult
feats is TO cut sheep in two with a
sword while riding at full gallOp. The
contest between IA mounted swordsman
and foot soldier armed with bayonet
is said to be interesting and exciting.

The great day to which Chicago has
been so anxiously looking forward has
come and gone, and the Columbian ex-
position is now open to the world. Out
south on the lake shore a new and
wonderful city has sprung into life in
a miraculous manner almost, and the
earth, which SO recently was clothed
in natures mantle, now throbs with
the life and activity of mingling thou
sands of human beings from every
country under the sun, and the cease
less round of sightseeing has fairly be-
gun.

seen such day as was the LIST day of
May, 1898, and in all probability she
will never see another such. For
