ING, WORLDS FAIR.
holders have arranged to receive visit
ors. These houses are in every section
of the city, and the rates at which
guests will be received is a matter of
record on the books of the bureau.
The Inside inn, hotel on the Ex-
position grounds. has a capacity for
5000 guests. The Exposition manage
ment has control of the rates, which
have been fixed at from $3.50 to $3.50
per day, European plan, including ad-
mission to the grounds. On the Amer
lean plan the rates range from So to SIS
per day. The hotel is 400 by 800 feet
and is three stories high.
There are more than $50 established
hotels in st. Louis, and a signed agree
ment has been made between many of
their managers with the Exposition of
ficials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period. Many
new hotels have been built on sites ad-
jacent to the Exposition grounds, and
the published fixed rates warrant the
assertion that no one need pay exor-
bitant rates for ACCOMMODATIONS either
at hotels or private houses.
Among the new hotels may be men
toned the Hotel Napoleon Bonaparte,
which stands at Clayton avenue and
Skinker road, overlooking the EXPOSE
ton grounds. This hostelry will ac-
commodate 5000 persons. The rates,
European plan. are from 81 to S. per
day. The Grand View hotel, south of
the Exposition on Oakland avenue, has
a capacity for 5000 guests, and the
rates are 81 to $3.50 per day, European,
and So to $3.50 per day on the Amer
lean plan. The Kenilworth, on West
Park boulevard and Billion avenue, has
a capacity of 1000 guests, with a rate
| of $3.50 per day.
The above mentioned are a few Of the
| new hotels that have been erected near
| the Exposition grounds for the accom-
mediation Of Worlds Fair visitors. All
| told there are about twoscore. All are
within easy walking distance, and all
are situated on high ground, with COM
| prehensive views of the grounds. All
| Of the structures are we'll built, and in
some of them the most luxurious quar-
| tiers are obtainable. The rates are es-
tablished and will not be increased dur

Opal Fossil or . Shark.

Op1t OSDiA VA - 0u0EAs
Since they were first discovered the
famous opal fields at White Cliffs, N.
s. W.. have yielded many curious fos-
sils, particularly those of prehistoric
marine life. But the latest discovery
is most extraordinary one. and will
prove of the deepest interest to the
scientific world.
It is that Of fossilized, or rather
opalized, member of the shark family,
which was found on block No 6, at a
depth Of thirty-five feet from the sur
face. The Sydney press says that the
speciment measures feet 6 inches
from the snout to the tip of the tail.
The body is in seven sections, the cir
conference of the largest Of which
(the head and shoulder portion) is
eighteen inches; each section is six
inches in length.
The deeply indented eye-sockets
show plainly, land thin veins of pur.
pie opal encircle the fish from tip to
tip" At the mouth these veins make
an oblong and clearly defined course,
though the continuity is occasionally
broken. No particulars as to weight
are given, but as the fossil has been
sent to London these ond other mat.
tiers Of interest will soon. be deter
mined. 1t was purchased from the
finders by an opal buyer.

| the dark ocean, now and then lit up by
dash of spray, while the officers look
ed on in doubt. They did not believe
the man. But still they did not be-
lieve that he would take them into a
death which would carry him with
| them.
The point of the island butting out
toward the bar was now close at hand.
While the breakers from the ocean
come nearly to its shores, the men be-
lieved that the island could be passed
by the fat bottomed river boat.
But Jarvi headed straight on.
"Why do you not turn to the right?''
asked Captain Budlong.
"We would run her into the sand, "
replied the pilot.
"But you are running her into the
breakers replied the sherjff.
"It is better for her there coolly
replied the treacherous man at the
wheel.
The boat began to rock and leap like
wild animal which found itself sud
denly in the clutches of an enemy. 1t
was but shell, on,y intended for the
smooth waters of the liver, and could
not be expected to live on the ocean and
especially on the river bar, one of the
toughest places known to seamen. The
men down stairs fell about the deck
like drunkards and while some became
deathly sick, others were alarmed.
Sankala could conceal her fears no
longer. "That man," she said, lis
taking us to our doom. The boat can
not live in this sea. He could have
passed the point of the Island without
coming into the breakers. The waite,
is deep there.
She had come from her place OF con-
cealment and spoke with all of the
earnestness of woman, and the cool
ness of man.
Jarvi looked around at her with a
ghostly smile of contempt, but did not
Dudge the wheel.
"Consider yourself prisoner" said
Captain Budlorg.

he released the wheel and walked out

and reeled. The propelling wheel al
ternately rose above and sank deep into
the water revolving as uselessly as
flutter-mill. The vessel was left to
the mercy of the breakers.
The last extremity had been reached.
The sheriff drew his revolver, and,
pointing it at Jarvi, said:
eco back to that wheel and take us
out of this or shall shoot you like a
dog!"
Cali right" replied Jarvi in con-
temptuous voice.
Then the man started as if he would
enter the door of the pilot house, but
be turned quickly and leaped into the
foaming breakers below.
Sankala, keenly alive to the impend-
ing crisis, bare headed and bare armed
sprang to the wheel. She glanced
down into the angry sea, and hurriedly
examined the shore line to the north !;
then with distended muscles she bore
down on the lever that governed the
rudder, and rang the engineer to turn
on the steam.

To Wash Lace Curtains.

First brush them with a turkey
wing, such as many have for busting
purposes. Make a good strong soap
suds; put. the suds and curtains in a
tub, and with a steamer, that is not
rusted, press them, turning the cur
tains over often, and you will be sur
prised to see how the suction of the
steamer will take out the dirt Use
clean water until they are thoroughly
cleaned. Rinse in the same way. Do
not wiring, but squeeze out the water.
Stretch up a barb wire, and when
there is no wind blowing. hook the
curtains on the barbs, stretching them
carefully. Or perhaps better way
is to make a frame the size of the
curtains. Drive finishing nails about
the distancezof the scallops, and turn
the nails little to form hooks. Hook

els that boat or light on shore?"
cit is boat, you see che is to the
right of Chinook Point and there is
wide channel of river there"
"Sbe may bring the soldiers"
81 hope to God she will. Those
fellows are reinforcing their strength
and we can't hold out much longer
against them"
Thus spoke Old Seadog. A hand to
hand fight had just taken place on the.
water and while the encounter was a
draw the northsiders knew that their
strength was being exhausted while
that of their enemy was being in
creased by force of numbers.
The only hope of the northsiders was
the arrival of the state troops. The
militia was not ordered out for the pur-
pose of taking part in the fight, if it
could be avoided, but to patrol the
river and prevent bloodshed.
The state maintained the right of its
citizens to fish to the middle of the
stream wherever that might be determ-
ined to be, and claimed the right to
protect their life and property north of
that point.
1t was question of boundary line
and as is usual where there are disputes
about such matters, each side constant
ly encroached on the rights Of the 9TH
er. The first bloodshed had brought
out the worst element of the southside
and they determined to drive back or
destroy, even to the line OF the north
| shore.
The boat came slowly down the river
The belligerent fishermen watched it
with intense interest on both sides.
81 hope to God she brings the SOL
disers." repeated Old Seadog as it came
nearer and nearer. "Gabe Jarvi will
take care of them," casually remarked
southside leader to his companion.
/ 1t did contain the soldiers, and the
reader already knows of it's movements,
and the treachery of its pilot.
After the boat passed away to the
south OF the island, the northsiders re-
Taxed into feeling almost hopeless. !.
The night was cool and calm, but an
unusual darkness eettled down upon
the waters. The stars shown out and
gave forth shadows that darkened the
surface of the water. A black veil
hung above it like a mantle. The
contending fishermen lay upon their
oars and arms. The FIRST blush Of
