IL Accommodations at Moderate
Rates Assured by the Admin

The management Of the ST Louis
Worlds Fair is determined that Wis
itors to the great exposition shall en-
joy ample Accommodations at rea
sonable rates, hence under its aus
pices an enormous hotel called the
Inside Inn has been erected inside
the grounds of the exposition.
This splendid hostelry is three
stories high, 400 feet wide, and 800
feet long. It contains spacious par
lors, reading-rooms and receptions
rooms. It's dining-room and restau
rant seats $500 people at time and
il contains 2,257 sleeping apartments
All visitors 10 this hotel enjoy tn"
same service and the same excellent
table; the range of prices being de
termined simply by the location and
size Of the rooms. The hotel is run
on both the European and American
plans ana rates vary from $3.50 to
$3.50 per day, European. and from
$500 TO 500, American, including adj
mission.
The Inside Inn is under the per
sonai supervision ana management OF
Mr. f. NJ. Statler the well-known res
tauranteur of Buffalo, which fact
alone guarantees the bs,h quality OF
the cuisine and service.
The comfort and convenience thus
afforded visitors in not having to &c

Establishing the Entente Cordae-By JuEan Hawthorne

ley Evans was there, and many others
whom the war made famous. One
afternoon we sat in the Adrnira1s
quarters smoking and chatting; out
side, far off, arose the crests OF the
beautiful Blue Ridge; around us
spread the CLASSY waters of Kingston
Bay, almost steaming with the heat:
and big white shark was swimming
his beat up and down under our
quarter. The talk fell upon the en-
tente cordiale, and Meade-the hand
soonest man in the service-with a per-
ceptlon Of the humorous-told this
tale apropos:
We were in the Mediterranean"
said he, at Malta, I think it was; and
there was an English squadron there
with us. There was a good deal of
covert hostility between the American
and English crews of the ships. and
the officers debated how it could
best be stopped, and an entente cor
dale established. Finally it was sug-
gested that the crew of an English
ship should invite a lot of Our fellows
to mess, so that better acquaintance
might beget good feeling. I agreed.
and the invitation was sent and accent
ed in due form.
Well, our men put on their best
bibs and fuckers, and were rowed over
to the British ship, and there received
and escorted below with all the honors
and ceremonies. The meal began:
but there was no conversation, except
nnonosyllables, and even those ceased
finally; and though the weather was
nearly as hot as it is here to-day, there
was chill in the social atmosphere
enough to make small snow storm.
The longer the session went on, the
worse became the embarrassment and
awkwardness on both sides: and the

Horse droves went out from mid

The Emerald,

Calcutta firm. A price was named by
the English firm. Another cablegram
came from Calcutta
Your bid too low
The cable from London brought an
other bid. Then again it went from
Calcutta back to London, after the
style of the second wire from the
Orient. London took it up again with
the Indian city. The two firms kept
the cable wires busy for nearly a
month, more than 125 cablegrams
were exchanged, and the emeralds, in
the end, were purchased by a COM
petitor of the firm that had received
the first chance at the stones.
This is often the case. 1t takes any
where from twenty to a hundred and
fifty cablegrams to complete a sale.
The goods purchased represent the
labor of months and oftentimes years
in the collecting of them. AS there
are none being mined, the only way to
get them is to send out agents among
the natives But the natives are slow
to surrender their wealth, and if the
agent, after weeks of travel and liv-
ing among them, returns with Is or
SO karats, he IS doing extremely we'll.
In effecting the sale with the natives
only signs for the most part are used,
and the process is slow. A great
many of the Indian tribes attribute a
religious quality to the stones and are
loathe to part with them. Most OF them
are obtained from the royal blood,
and are, in effect, family heirlooms.
They were probably mined centuries
ago, and are cut in all kinds of shapes
and sizes.

les who gather them do not take the
trouble to recut them, but after they
have obtained a sufficient quantity to
bring few hundred thousand dollars,
they cable to London for a bid on
the lot 1t is a strange fact that
most Of these lots are purchased by
the London firms without seeing them
beforehand. Some of the larger Lon
don companies have agents in Calcutta,
and even among the natives them
selves, but this is not usually the case.
But heirloom emeraldS, as we'll a.
other kinds of emeralds, are becoming
scarce in India. They have become
so scarce, in fact, that big dealers in
them have begun another method of
obtaining the precious stones. They
still stick to the heirloom idea, but
they are applying it to civilized ma
tons. Still hunts are going on all the
time among the pOvertv-stricke mem
befs of European royalty. AS emer-
aids have advanced several hundred
per cent. within the past twenty-five
years, it is not SO difficult to persuade
even & royal parsonage who bought
an emerald once for $1,000 to part
with it now for $4,000
The demand for emeralds was never
SO great as it is at the present time.
Various schemes have been tried to
utilize this demand in get-rich-quick
methods. The most pretentious Of
these existed for several months,
fooled thousands of persons, and made
a great deal of money for the pro-
prietors.
The idea was simple and the scheme
easy. A number of lapidary estab-
lishments were opened i'll conspicuous

Cattle droving was alike, yet diff
ferent. In horned stock steer wore

emily enough, and seemed lost without

held them together, after they were

Until they were beyond sound and

places along the most prominent
thoroughfare Of some seaside beach
resort. Big signboards were then
posted, notifying the public that en-
eralds and rubies were sometimes
found on. the beach and that if these
stones were taken to the lapidaries
they could be cut for nominal sum.
After dark the proprietor Of the lapi-
dairy establishment would. gather a
lot of red and green bottles, break
them into small bits and throw them
into the sea few yards from shore. In
a few days they would be washed up
on the beach. The action of the
waves and sand would have worn
away the sharp edges and corners, and
the small pieces of colored glass
would have, to the layman, the ap-
pearance of being worth something as
a precious stone.
Sure" said the proprietor, Of a
lapidary shop, when the glass was
brought to him for inspection that's
an emerald. I'll cut it for you while
you wait.

he made a grinding noise with a
wheel. In a little while he came back

it for upward of dollar, according to
