No ExtOrtiOn
 in St. Louis
Liberal Accommodations at Modearte Rates Assured by the Admin
 istration.

The management of the St. Louis Worlds Fair is determined that visitors to the great exposition shall enjoy ample accommodations at reasonable rates hence under its auspices an enormous hotel called The Inside Inn has been erected inside the grounds of the expo sition.
 This splendid hostelry Is three stories high, 400 feet wide and 800 feet long. It contains spacious parlors, reading rooms and reception rooms. Its dining room and restaurant seats 2500 people at a time and 1t contains 2257 sleeping apart ments. All visitors to this hotel enjoy the same service and the same excellent table; the range of prices being deter mined simply by the location and size of the rooms The hotel is run on both the European and American plans and rates vary from s1.5O to S550 per day, European, and from $300 to S7.00 Ameri- can, including admission.
 The Inside Inn is under the personal supervision and management of MT. E. M. Statler, the well-known restauranteur of Buffalo which fact alone guarantees the high quality of the cuisine and ser vice.
 The comfort and convenience thus af- forded visitors in not having to go out side the grounds or of mourning the trou- ble and crushing of street cars and su- burban railway service cannot be over estimated. Once a visitor is registered at The Inside Inn no further admission fee to the exposition is charged, and after a tiring morning or afternoon one can readily return to their room, wash and rest up, refresh themselves with a first class meal and then turn out and enjoy the pleasures of the evening in the ex- position grounds.
 The enormous capacity of The Inside Inn assures good accommodations for all. no matter when or in what numbers they came-but those who prerer to re- serve their rooms in advance can do so now.
 Full details of rates and reservations can be had by sending a postal card to The Inside Inn. care Administration Bldg. Worlds Fair Grounds, St. Louis.

TRIBUTES ARE

Continued from First Paue)
 gladly The Bible description of Christian worker, not slouthful In busi- ness, fervent In spirit praisng the Lord,' fitted him. He met the duties, responsi- bilities and obligations of life with truth and courage, honor and manhood It is the rugged highway that calls forth ones strength, and not the valleys of sensuous ease. The fierce winds drive the roots of the giant oak deep down into the earth, so that 1t may resist the raging storms.
 Amsssed Large Fortune.
 with a modest beginning in his native town of Tuskegee, he amassed a large fortune before he reached the age of 40 years. He did not enter the political arena until he had already achieved not able business successes. The first off, cal position he held was that of state senator. and while serving in that capac- ity he was elected to the Fifty-seventh congress in a hotly contested race. He was returned to the Fffty-eghth congress by a large majority, and would have been reelected without opposition to the Fifty-ninth congress but for his sudden death He was peculiarly adapted to public life. Enthusiastic In his affec- tons, generous In nature, magnanimous In disposition, benevolent and public-spir- ited; tactful in the management of men and measures, tireless In energy, patient and painstaking in the conquest of de- tails, he possessed in addition to these characteristics magnetic personality which enabled him to triumph in all his undertakings without surrendering one jot or little of his honest convictions.
 
 'He was essentially a busy man; yet In the hurry and hustle incident to an active life he found time for the dstri- button of charities and benefactions with liberal hand. He did not deem it T weakness to give away to the inf1uei N1 of loving sympathetic emotions. He pre- served in his warm heart some green spots where the caravan wheels of the world never passed, and where the hoofs of It's carnival coursers never trod. His benevolence made life beautiful to many sorrow-stricken souls, bringing to them flowers and music and good cheer. and pouring into their weary hearts light and gladness and sunshine.
 But he has gone from us forever Death. who knocks alike at the palaces of the rich and the cottages of the poor, unwilling to await the fruition of his earthly endeavors has called this faith lul pupHC SeTNdnt, tlllS BeIlal ana gentle friend from labor to rest but he has not died in vain. His good deeds will live after him and inspire the youth of the land to emulate his well-rounded character.
 "He leaves to the nation and his native state. to his family, kindred and friends the legacy of an unsullied name We mourn for a comrade lost; we grieve for friend that Is gone, but we will cherish the memory of his noble life and emulate those lustrous virtues which melted him to lofty aspirations in his works and; aims during his pilgrimage on earth, in his daily walk amongst his fellowmen."
 Appropriate resolutions were adopted in reference to the deceased.
 The house met at noon and adjourned at 5:27 o'clock.

NEGRO OUTCASTS
 ID BE CARED FOR Two Separate Movements on Foot for That Purpose VAL LUABLE LAND IS GIVEN colored People of the State Are Tak- ing Great Interest in the Pro.
 feet, and VIII Make 1t
 Success.
VALUABLE LAND IS GIVEN

The little negro boys and girls of Ala bam who have no parents, or who come under the influence of the police in the various cities have promise of being we'll cared for. There are two separate and distinct movements on foot to provide them with a reformatory, and already The land alone is worth several thousand dollars, and the negroes of the state are taking up the matter and promise to do well by the boys and girls who are wayward.
 Some time ago Sam Daley, negro, of fered a tract of land, about 125 acres, to the negro preachers of Birmingham who had become interested In finding home for the wayward boys of Birmingham who come up in Judge Feagin's court This matter was taken up by the preach CTS and also by the Federation of Negro Women's clubs, and a deed has been given to the latter organization, deedhg them the property.
 Tract of Land Accepted.
 committee from the Federation has accepted the tract of land and has also paid a visit there to see what was need ed to put it in shape to accommodate hundred boys at once. The negro women are the most representative of the state, and they promise to raise the money and run the reformatory, wher negro boys and girls may be sent. They also propose to have an industrial school, where they may be taught.
 Miss Julia Tutwiier who has a national reputation for her philanthrophy and work fin the cause of tho wayward boys of Alabama, has written Judge Feagin, offering 100 acres of land near Green Springs for a reformatory for the negro boys. She has asked Judge Feagn to make this offer to the negroes, and he will do so this week. It Is thought that 1t will also be accepted and that 1t will be also used as a farm on which the boys may be taught
 Judge Feagin states that this great ln- terest In the movement is very gratifying to him, as he alone took up the matter of getting the negro boys a place to live in the country away from the temptations of city life, and that he Is glad to see the white people as well as the negroes are showing interest enough to donate fine lands for this home
 The Sam Daley Farm.
 The farm of Sam Daley is In Tusca- loosa county at Fosters, about eighteen miles from Tuscaloosa. and contains house which will accommodate a number of boys. There are already nearly a score at the farm, and reports from there state that they are doing excellently. The negro women will furnish the house and also build another as soon as pos- sible if their present plans are carried out.
 This movement Is in line with the work of the National Child Labor committed on which Judge Feagin was recently named at a meeting in New York, as that also includes the securing of homes for children were they will be properly treat ed. The main object of the committee, however, is to prevent children from hay Ing to work in mills and suche places, and in seeing that laws are passed to protect them
