FOR PUBLIC COMFORT.
Plans Being Made for Worlds Fair
Visitors.
Good Accommodations Will BE Provided
During the Exposition at Reason
able Rates-An Excellent
plan

In answer to the many inquiries from
boards OF trade and similar bodies con-
corning the alleged plan to demand ex-
toruonate prices for accommodations in
Chicago next summer, Maj. w Marsh
kasson has prepared the following re-
port from the bureau of public comfort:
This bureau has been established. by
the Worlds Columbian exposition To CO.
operate through its hotel and rooming
department, TO the best of its ability
with the citizens of Chicago for the
comfort and protection of visitors to Sc
cure for them suitable and desirable
lodgings at fair and reasonable rates.
The management is lxeenly alive TO
the fact that thousands of visitors will
be deferred from visiting the city unless
they can be fully assured on this point,
hence every effort is being made to rea-
liZc satisfactory results in this direction.
Inquiries We're sent out some time
ago TO hOuseholders having furnished
rooms to let, TO learn as far as possible
prices that would be expected therefor,
and the following statement gives the
general average quotations received in
reply, to cover the accommodations for
over 10000 people in the best part OF the
city lying between North avenue and
Seventy-ninth street.
Price Of frOoms per day without board:
Sin gle room, single bed, one person,
sI.S5.
Double room. double bed, one per
son, -. Il; two persons, S2.7O.
'Double-bedded room, two double
beds, two persons, $3.50.
''Dou bie-bedded room, two double
beds, three persons, S4.15.
''DOuble-bedded room, two double
beds, four persons, $3.50.
There certainly does not seem ac-
cording to these figures to be any indi-
cation that citizens of Chicago will de-
mand excessive rates for the accommo-
dation Of visitors to the exposition, and
they can be relied upon to sustain the
good reputation of Chicago for fair and
liberal treatment of its guests. One
publishing house has a pamphl. now
in press containing list OF over ten
thousand places III the city of Chicago
where furnished rooms can be Lad at
moderate rates. The prices given above
do not include large first-class hotels
nor prominent new buildings in course
of erection in the vicinity of Jackson
park. Many mischievous rumors al
lcEing the likelihood of high prices and
cXtortion generally have been Origi-
mated by persons interested in outside
boarding-housc schemes. some of them
apparently irresponsible and even
fraudulent. The great mass of visitors
viii doubtless prefer the quiet and
economy of furnished rooms such as al
luded 10, and apartment hotels, ar
ran~ing TO take their meals from day
to day wherever it may suit their con-
venience. 1t Is estimated that from
fifty thousand TO one hundred thousand
people can be served daily with meals
within the exposition grounds alone,
while the number of hotels and restau-
rants is constantly increasing"

Rat culture is something Of which

cold chills TO look upon. There We're
rodents of all classes, distinctions and
descriptions Gray rats, black rats,
dun rats, yellow rats, young rats and
old rats, fat rats and rats with trans
parent hides. The pied piper never
saw a better collection.
1t is not hard TO maintain a rat farm,
so the keeper said. First a few of the
despised animals are procured and put
in the pit. They attract others, who
crawl up the rough sides of the outside
walls of the pit and slide down To call
on their friends. They can't get out.
Then they multiply quickly.

Gigantic Bridge scheme.

Various startling projects have been
mooted for enabling travellers To cross
the English channel without undergo
ing the troubles of the short sea pas
sage. An extraordinary project is the
channel bridge scheme, which is of
French devising. The proposed bridge
would be something like thirty-four
miles long. and moderate estimate
gives its probable cost at e34. 400. 600.
From 100000 to 1000, 900 tons of metal
would be required for its construction,
which would need about ten years TO
complete. As proposed, the platform
OF the bridge would be $50 feet above
high water level, supported on piles
distant from each other 500 or COO yards
1t would contain room for four railway
lines, with a road for carriages, besides
footpaths, while places for refuge,
watch houses and alarm bells, with a
powerful light would be placed at each
pile. harbor in the middle of the
channel is included in some accounts of
the scheme.

MAKING THE SUNSHINE GROW.

" Mother, what makes the sunshine grow?''
My darling said one day,
As DER the hills the heavenly glow
Came speeding on its way,
Breaking the Slumbers OF the night,
Flooding the earth with golden light,
And clothing mountains, dome and spire
With the baptismal robe OF fire
From kind Fathers hand, my love,
The precious gift IS poured
In the vast treasure-houSc above
The glorious light is stored
Il shines for us-it shines for all,
In lowly cot. or princely hall;
And many 4 sorrow doth beguile,
With the rare sweetness of its smile"
- II could make the sunshine grow,
How happy I should be.
No cruel blasts no wiutry woe
Our fair green earth should see
All the long year should summers reign
Make glad the fields OF ripcning gram;
All the long year should flowers blow,
II ! could make the sunshine grow"
- God rules and guilds the heavenly light.
With wisdom more than ours;
But we can make dark places bright,
And deserts bloom with flowers
And cheerful heart, kind words and deeds,
True sympathy Tor others needs.
Pure thoughts that from pure fountains flow.
These make the blessed sunshine grow"

WHAT LOVE ONCE DID.

"A woodchopper Shanty.

woodchopper Shanty.
Love made a reclusse of a man who is
now three-quarters of a century old,
and who has avoided his fellows for
nearly thirty years. He calls himself
John Smith, and his hermitage is in the
mountai..s not far from Erving, Mass,
says the brandon Rumor.
He was an actor and she was an
actress. They were engaged, quarrelcd,
and separated. The lovers mind be-
came unbalanced, and while yet in the
prime of life he abandoned his pro-
fcssion and scight the semi-solitude
which has now grown to be a habit
with him.
1t may be remarked that no one
knows his real name. That Of John
smith is an alias, and he frankly ac-
knowledges that he has taken every
precaution TO conceal his identity. lie
visits nobody, but during the past few
years many people have been 70 see
him. He is a sort Of local fad and the
folks thereabouts almost love him.
The old mans hair and beard are white
as snow. He delights 20 chat with
visitors, and on pleasant Sundays of
summer and autumn the grounds
around his little cottage are covered
with scores of teams and hundreds Of
visitors.
For the time being the grounds are
converted into a picnic grove, and the
old man shares the hospitality Of his
visitors. tells them quaint stories and
in return they give him the remnants
of their feasts and little gratuities, and
purchase the photographs of himself
and his cats.
In the winter the old man is genuine

merly a woodchopper's shanty, and il is
little better now. The boards inside the
living room are covered with. playbills
