Chicago, H., Aug. 24.-(Special Core
/ spondence to the Republican, They
Z put us off at Buffalo. or rather they
prevented us from getting off until we
got there. AS the train drew in sight
OF the exposition grounds we got quite
excited and thought there was scheme
TO carry US beyond. There were three
of us, Sam Easterling, Mr. Bryant and
+ myself. We were logged out in great
shape with new dress suit cases ana
clean collars. Mr.. Bryant was sus"
pe2ted of having used toothbrush,
but We could not prove it. AT last we
reached the depot and having disposed
of our six valses we started out to
find rooms. We were all dry SO wa
struck the first anti-dry place we came
to. We took mint julep and rendered
payment with three 500 gold pieces.
The bar tender looked at the money In
awe; ne rang Ii on the counter; bit It;
and finally retired to a back room and
had a very earnest consultation with
three other large sized Dutchmen, who
in turn tried the money and also tried
to read our thoughts. II was good
thing they did not or there would have
been a fight. They gave US our
change in one dollar bills.
We found a large room or two
rooms at the Alameda cafe. and we
found it a nice quiet place. central and
convenient, and the price reasonable.
Having thus established headquarters
we started ont to see the exposition,
We took car that landed us at the
gate ana we made a bee line for the
bazaar building where we knew our
MIR Benham had an emporium OF In
dian curios. Mr. Thomas Barnes was
in command and we arrived just in time

to see US and introduced us to several
of his associates in crime in the bazaar
= and out.
The bazaar is quite large and filled

started In on one side and went the

as this trio. We would go into a build
