topic of the day in the United States
is being commented upon in every
conceivable style. The impression
incautiously given out by some of
the leading journals, that extortion-
ate charges are the cause of dissatis-
faction, is misleading to say the
least
The great cities of America can
afford most anything to be desired,
and II one comes to Chicago, or in
fact, visits anywhere in the United
States with the expectation of
being robbed he need not be disap-
pointed. Barnum says the Amer
leans like to be humbugged,' and
it will prove true of anyone who
meets with more than a reasonable
expense in trip TO the Worlds
Fair.
The railroad companies have
done the least towards facilitating
and encouraging in the important
question Of how can people of linn
tied means afford to see this won
derful exhibition. The cut rates
now being made viii somewhat |
lessen that difficulty. Hotels |
within q few minutes walk of the I
grounds offer rates from $3.50 up !
wards per day on the American !
plan. and from 81 to So per day on /
the European plan. Lodgings can /
be obtained in frame houses for 80 /
and 10 cents per night and you
may camp out under q tent for %
cents.
Board can be had at the same
rates as before a fair was thought
of. the best places, however, being
sometimes thronged with impa-
tent fair goers the service will
hardly bear praise.
The hotels in Chicago proper,
simply maintain rates which are
with the aceommoda-
tons required and during the Fair
season will make no concessions
in transient rates. There is little
time lost in going to and from Van
Buren, street to the Fair grounds,
fare ten cents each way, on the Iii
nois Central railroad direct ex-
press. Many ways of Transports
ton to and from the Fair grounds
are provided, and some may prefer
taking up quarters in the main
portion of the city. Meals in all
styles, and at any desired cost, are
furnished within the grounds and
refreshments of every sort are with
In reach of the most careful.
Wheeled chairs can be obtained
with guide for IS cents per hour,
or should you be fortunate enough
to have some friend to push your
little carriage along, you will need
to pay hut forty cents per hour.
Light but strong portable chairs
are rented from numerous stands
for ten cents per day, proving a
most valuable convenience to the
and weary.
The admission being fifty cents,
here is no further cost excepting
through the interesting scenes of
he Midway Plaisance. Admission
prices from ten to fifty cents are
charged by the various enterprises,
which summed up amount to about
500.
The intermural railway system +,
s a great convenience in going to
md from extreme points of the
rounds: fare ten cents. or all the
way around for twenty cents.
Packages viii be cared for at the
many Offices for that purpose, the
barge being ten cents day for
sch package. A novel feature is
he care of children, who may be
eft with nurses In the ehildren's
and will be cared for and
unused in a most satisfactory man
Ter. Every toy that could be
bought Of is provided; each child
'eing labeled, and tag held by

he precious little package until
Suffice to say there has been
very provision possible for the
ecommodation for the expected
attendance which has not
