CITY is in receipt of the following
letter, and we would advise any
one going to the fair to take ad.
vantage of the opportunities offer
ed by the Woman's Guild of the

Dear Brother:
The Woman's Guild of st. Johns
Parish, st. Louis, of which 1 am
Rector, has secured limited mum
Der of rooms among our own
church families for the period of
the Worlds Fair at the uniform
rate of 81 90 q day per room, for
one or two persons These rooms
are in the homes Of our best fami
lies, which fact guarantees them to
any one as to their comfort, CON.
venience and responsibility. We
realize the fact that it will be neces
sary for anyone coming to the Fair
to secure accommodations before
coming here as the hotels and
boarding houses are asking high
prices. and, many of them being
but temporary, give but poor
accommodation These rooms are
only offered in the hope that the
income will net to the parish
fair amount of profit in the course
Of the summer st Johns is the
second oldest parish in St. Louis
and one of the largest and most
influential in the city. Believing
that it will be taken care of ask
you to kindly give special notice
IT the matter to your congregation
and to post the enclosed circular
in some CONSPICUOUS place.
Faithfully yours,
Q @ ADAMS.
Rector.

which lies in the fact that when
hostiIlities were ready to break out
a half hundred, more or less, of
American war correspondents rep
resenting the leading newspapers
of this country, were hurried to
the scenes of trouble. But up to
this time they have not been able

the war are concerned all they
know about it is what they read in
