Big Hotel n the Woods
Tavern Inside the Worlds Fair
Grounds, Surrounded by a Forest
Offers a Luxurious and Restful
Retreat.

The comfort for the visitor to an
exposition was never the subject
for so much intelligent thought
and preparation as it has been
at St. Louis.
One of the features that cannot
fail TO appeal to the visitor is the
convenience and comfort afforded
BY the Inside Inn, a structure Of
; PSI rooms. covering an area Of
400 bp 900 feet, wholly within the
Worlds Fair grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built
commands view so diversified or
grand. From the wide verandas
that surround the mammoth struc-
ture a wonderful panorma spreads
before one. Many of the state
buildings, with their gaint ana
magnificent structures, present
their most attractive facades. Some
Of the forgeign buildings may be
seen, and the forest of towers and
turrels, domes and minarets, rising
above the great exhibit palaces
that may be seen through the forest
Of real trees that surrounds the
hostclry.
A leisurely walk Of FIVE minutes
will land one on the main terrace
in front of the Festival Hall, the
center of the main picture" of the
Exposition, the grandest spectacle
ever produced by man. Another
five minntes walk and the visitor
may find himself on Tie Pike,
street Of amusement, a full mile
long, with the shows Of all nations
i'll gay and enticing array.
In the ten minutes walk many
of the main exhibit palaces have
been passed. These comprise the
largest and grandest collection of
architural triumphs ever assembled
in any one place. Notwithstanding
its close proximity to these scenes
of gaiety and splendor, noise and
confusion, the Inside Inn offers a
delightful retreat. During the noon
hoer the visitor may retire for a
brief rest and resume his de-
lightful task of sightseeing refresh
ed and all the more able to appre-
ciate and enjoy the Worlds Fair
wonders.
The rates at this hotel are no
higher than charged elsewhere. A
good room may be had for 81. so
per day, including admission to
the grounds. Other rooms may
be had up to $500 perday accord
ing to the luxuries demanded,
There is restaurant in the build
ing with a seating capacity of

ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
Of it, IF a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our Office boy SAYS
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ko to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality Of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
givea strong, clear, vivid write
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are not clear to you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in a full equipment of cleo
trio lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have. peace in the. family.

dozens OF assaults have occurred. The
Sheriff has lost control Of the situation.
This is the first serious clash between

breakers, who have been cooped up in the
packing house all week, attempted to leave
the plants and to 60 TO Omaha to spend
their wages They were permitted to
get several blocks from the plants before
they were molested, but when the oppor-
tunity arrived hundreds OF strikers at

off the streets.
The Sheriff has advertised for 500 extra
deputies tomorrow and has notified the
strike leaders that the nLlitary will be

street station was passing the two big gas
tanks of the Consolidated Gas Company in
1l1th street. between First and Second

ing tenement houses.

quick.
The property OF the gas company ex-
tends from 3O4 to $40 East llth street just

night that an Italian hborer at the gas
works had thrown lighted cigarette into
the oil cove red water.

assume In a way to represent the State,
in which was born, ip which now live
and where hope to die, so that this happy
occasion may serve as sort OF exchange OF
greetings between New jersey and New
HAMPSHIRE
This thought gives rise to another re-
Election OF how impossible it IL for any Sec
tion OF our country 10 be entirely independ-
ent Of the remainder. II the people OF the
State OF New Jersey are inclined to boast
that decisive battles were fought on her
soil, they will find the people OF New Hamp-

had their troops there too
III our Western States, glorying in the
pride Of their sudden growth and COM
mercial achievement, are inclined to hint
that there is tecrepitude in New Hamp-
shire and old New England, they will find
from the genealogical ar>als that In laying
the foundation of the present splendid
status of the West New Hampshire and
New England men We're pioneers.
Il hope. for the sake Of that unity so alb
solutely essential to national effort, upon
which our welfare depends, that the day
will never come when any section of our
country or any number of our people will
say that they owe nothing to any other
section of our country.
at only remains for me TO thank you for
the courtesy extended to me on this happy
occasion and to assure you that this gather
ing will be remembered by me as among
the most pleasing and delightful incidents
