ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
VISITORS IN BUFFALO.
Hundreds of Hotels, Boarding and
ROoming Houses, Besides Many Pri-
Vate Homes, ON the List.

Hundreds of Hotels, Boarding and
Roomfur Houses. Besides Many PrI-
vnte Homes, ON the List.
So much has been said and written
about the ability of the city of Buffalo
to care for the crowds which will at
tend the Pan-American Exposition this
summer that n few facts and figures
will be appreciated by the general pub
lie.
In the first place, there are listed
more than 200 hotels, which will give
accommodation to 10000 people; there
are ESQ boarding and rooming houses,
affording accommodation for 1880,
while 1000 owners of houses, most of
whom never before hung out their
latchstring for n consideration, have
signifed their intention of opening
their houses for the accommodation of
visitors to Buffalo this summer. These
1000 homes will accommodate at least
100000 visitors.
The Exposition Company has arrang-
ed to furnish tent accommodation on
the Exposition grounds for go uni
formed men. There are also two COM
panies arranging tent systems which
will afford additional accommodation
outside of the grounds for 1900 or so.
In addition to all this, there are n
large number of buildings throughout
the city now being remodeled and con-
verted into hotels, the plans of which
are not far enough along TO afford an
accurate description or to estimate ac-
commodation at the present time. 1t is
safe to estimate the present capacity
of the city of Buffalo to accommodate
$50 900 strangers. To this may be add
ed accommodations for at least 10000
in the surrounding towns, such as Ton
AMANDA, La Sale, Niagara Falls, Lock
port, WiIliamsville, Gardenville, De
pew and Lancaster, all within a short
trolley ride OF the city.
Rates in hotels range from 81 per
day upward. AS ridiculous stories have
been circulated in regard to exorbitant
hotel rates, it is we'll to note the rates
that have been established at the IrO-
quois, the most expensive hotel in the
city. These are, for one in n room
without bath, S3 and upward; for two
in room without bath, So and upward,
thus making the minimum rate $3.50
per individual. The rate for n room
with bath for one person is So or for
two in a room $3.50. This is on the Eu-
ropean plan. or course there are rooms
and suites OF rooms In this hotel for
much higher rates for those who wish
to pay them. but the prices here given
are the highest in the city for hotel

Many military organizations intend
to visit the Pan-American Exposition
during the summer. Arrangements
have been made to provide first class
accommodations for them.
The Exposition will maintain a per-
manent camp within the grounds for
the accommodation Of about 200 men
at one time.
This camp will be supplied with
tents hoored. cots, buckets. basins, pint
cups, light, water and sinks, for the
use of which no charge will be made.
1t will be necessary for visiting organ
izations to furnish their own blankets
and subsistence.
There will be no accommodation for
cooking I'm this camp. but the visitors
will no doubt be able to make satisfac-
tory arrangements with restaurants on
the grounds at reasonable rates.
1t is expected that organizations TAX
ing advantage OF these camp privileges
will, at such time as may be agreed
upon beforehand, give military exhibit
tions without charge in the Stadium.

this camp win pay one general admis-

grounds and must be governed by the
rules and regulations laid down by the
Exposition Company.
On account of the large number OF
organizations now applying for camp
facilities at the Exposition the use OF
this camp will be limited to a period
not exceeding six days for any one or

Large bodies Of troops visiting the
Exposition must be quartered outside
the grounds, where a large camp for
this purpose has been established.

CONSUMPTION AND CANCER.
Remedy Found That May Insure
Cure.

New York, Sept. 13.-Dr. Wilfred
G. Fralick gave demonstration Of
his cure for consumption and diseases
of the blood at the Memorial hospital
in Brooklyn before more than twenty
eminent surgeons and physicians.
Five persons in the last stages If
consumption and one suffering from
cancer, all of whom are rich them
selves or are connected with rich
families, began the treatment.
The first patient was young man
of wealth and social prominence in
one of the western states. In an al
most dying condition he was wheeled
into the operating room. He could
not walk and could scarcely raise his
hands. He coughed continually.
The serum was heated to 10 degrees
and then injected. DR.. Fralick during
the operation explained the working
of the serum.
Il do not claim that it is a cure" he
told the physicians. What claim is
that it will kill all disease germs It
will leave the patient as typhoid fever
or any other illness of that nature will
leave him. The germs will have been
killed however, and the system can
be built up. l inject from sixteen to
twenty ounces in each patient, and so
far results have been wonderful"
Asked to give the nature of the Sc
rum, DR.. Fralick said in from three
to six months he would make it pub
lie. The treatment given the cancer
patient was exactly like that for con-
sumption. All of the physicians pres
ent marveled at the excellent first re-
suits the five patients showed.

leaving the field to Stewart and Tor
rance. The western man had been
quietly gaining strength on his own
personality since the opening of the
encampment. The withdrawal OF
Sickles also threw a heavy vote to
Torrance. so that when the balloting
commenced the latter had a walka-
way.
The balloting stood 230 to 476 in
favor of Torrance, when Stewart
moved to make Torrance's election
unanimous.
The election OF officers was the only
business before the convention yester.
day, all other business, including the
report of the pension committee, hav-
ing been referred to the council of

officers was conducted in secret, after

The unfavorable news regarding
the condition of the president cast a
decided gloom over the convention.
There was manifest disinclination to
transact any business while the death
of the chief executive seemed immi.

officers was rushed and the thirty-fifth

Mr.. Bryan arrived from Lincoln at
$50 p. m. and was driven to the Sher-
man house. He was to have addressed
a democratic meeting today but when
he heard the news he said he would
in all probabilities leave for Lincoln
this morning. While Mr. Bryan was
talking his head was bowed and he ap-
peared greatly detected. Over and
over again he repeated the words: Il
cannot believe his life is to end this
way"
Il have already spoken of the
horror of which l regard the assas-
sins crime" he continued, 81 have al
ready spoken of the high personal es-
TEEN in which | hold Mr. Mckinley.

nothing to either" Mr.. Bryan asked
the Associated Press for the latest
news from the presidents bedside and
added: I'm the event of his death l
shall have something more to say"
Later Col. Bryan, in voice that
shook with emotion, said: I'VE feel
Inundated that our country has thus
suffered, and our hearts are with the
lovely woman from whom a foul and
brutal assassin is taking one OF the
most faithful and tender of husbands :"
When shown the Associated Press
bulletins tears stood in his eyes. In a
voice that broke he indicated the bulle-
tin wherein the dying president was
said to be murmuring Nearer my
God to Thee" and said: Isn't it pitt
full. Isn't it too pitiful." Gods will
not ours, be DONE" he read in an.
other, giving the presidents last
words to Mrs. Mckinley, and again
the tears sprang to his eyes. He
stood like one looking on the bier of
a loved one and the room was hushed
in funeral silence. 1t was with visible
effort that he threw off the evidences
of grief and shook hands with those
who had been sympathetic spectators.
