ment has been made between many of
their managers with the Exposition Of
icials that rates shall not be raised
during the Exposition period Many
new hotels have been built on sites adj
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-

| 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-
| ters are obtainable. The rates are es>
tablished and will not be increased dur

A RELIEF.

You prize the friend that prides himself
on being frank and true,
Who talks about you faults, howe'er 1t
may hurt him and you.
You know that it's his sort on whom
you're likeliest to depend
When troubles overcast, the sky and bit
ter tears descend,
But, just the same, you sometimes wish
that hi could comprehend
That no one finds perfection-no, not even
in a friend
And though you vow you want the truth.
and want it good and strong,
You kind O. like the fellow who will jolly
you along.
You kind O. like the bird that sings a
song of careless cheer;
You kind O. like the flowers that blossom
idly. far n near;
You kind o. like the merry rhyme whose
strains so idly fall;
You kind O. like a lot Of things that are
no good at all,
But there is just one fact that stands out
palpable and clear
The teoughtless smile is always better
than the thoughtless sheer,
And so many folks are ready to remind
you when you're wrong
That you kind O. like the fellow who will
Jolly you along.

most out of business and she was afre.
She turned and ran back to anchor
age under about eight knots, the 10

pursue. None Of Uriu's ships was hit.
The fire on the Variag was put out,
but Captain Rudroff, on consulting
with the commander Of the Korietz,
decided that it was useless to attempt
to go out to meet the japanese. Four
o'clock was the hour set by Uriu for
surrender. At $3.50 the Variag was set
afire in her upper works toward the
stern, the seacocks were opened, and
Ter crew left her, going to merchant

bow, still a mass of flame. Her after
works extended above the water and
an explosion Of the magazine was
feared, so merchant vessels drew away
until 6:15 o'clock, when she %careened
