INSIDE INFORMATION
A Quiet Tip to Persons Seeking
Hotel Accommodations at the
Big Fairs.

At the Worlds Fair, st. Louis, the
hotel within the grounds is called the
Inside Inn. The capitalists who built
this famous hostelry will probably
erect similar building on the Lewis
and Clark fair grounds at Portland.
An Eastern exchange tells of visitor
to the st. Louis Fair, probably Judge
Sibley or "Uncle" John Castle) who
timidly walked up to the desk and
asked: "Is this the Inside Inn? And
if so, is the proprietor of the Inside
Inn in?"
"Yes, replied the smart clerk, with
far away look in his eyes, "this is
the Inside Inn, and you will find the
proprietor outside by the Inns side.
He has been keeping the Inn for
several weeks. He tells me that once
when he took an ocean voyage he
couldn't keep his inside in, but that
was inside information, and he didn't
intend to get it outside"
Alright. said the guest, 'if this is
the Inside Inn, we want to see it's in
side as we'll as its outside before we
look inside any of the outside inns. If
we like the Inside Inns inside and
outside better than we like the outside
inns outside and inside, we may
bring our things from outside inside
and stop inside the Inside Inn, be-
cause we won't have to go from the in
side outside or come back from the
outside inside when we're seeing the
Fair, but can remain inside or outside
the Inside Inn, it being the only inn
inside the grounds. The other inns
are on the outside and furnish no
more comforts for the guests inside or
outside than does the Inside Inn with |
the exhibits close outside the Inns
side-that is the Inside Inns side. In

CLEVELAND, Ohio, September S.-A
largely attended meeting of the National
window Glass Manufacturers Association
was held here today to discuss trade condi-
tons. The wage committee of the Amalga-
mated Window Glass Workers of America
also met here today to arrange a scale for
the coming year. There is a strong senti-
ment among the manufa cturers in favor Of
holding conference with the amalgamated
committee and 1t is very probable that
such a conference will be held. President
Phillips of the Amalgamated Window
Glass Workers stated today that there are
now strong Indications that no factories
Will be opened before October /. It had
been reported that plants at Utica, Ohio,
and Cofeeville. Kan, would resume opera
tions at once. Mr. Phillips stated however.
that he had received assurances from both
OF these points to the contrary. The Anal
Ct n ated people desire to prevent further
production until October 1. with a view to
cleaning up all old stocks and thereby stiff
fening prices. BY this method they believe
IT will be possible to maintain il not adj

WERENOT INDIFFERENT
VERMONT VOTERS AWAKE TO
IMPORTANCE or THE ELECTION.
Secretary Wilson believes Their Action
Indicates the Sentiment Of
New England.

Secretary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture returned, to the city at 2:4O this
afternoon from his tour in Vermont and
Maine. He was met at the station by Act
Ing Secretary Willis Moore and together
they drove to the department.
The impression that has gone abroad
that the voters of Vermont were Indifferent
about the election is erroneous, said Mr..
Wilson when seen by Star reporter.
The fact Is. the people of Vermont were
very much alive to the importance of the
campaign, and the real issue on which their
votes were cast was that of its. effect on
the presidential election next November.
The One Issue.
They had before them constantly the
idea that they were voting either for or
against the administration. That. and not
any state question, was what determined
their votes '-aN
Their action was taken exactly as If they
had been voting for the national ticket.
The people of Vermont do not think 1t Is
a matter Of indifference who is elected
next November They are not lulled to
sleep with the idea that the democra tic
party can do nothing. even II placed in
power because Of. the way Congress is
constituted
They not only see danger for the con-
tinued prosperity of the country In the
election OF democratic President but
they have their own Views on the question
of indorsing all that President Roosevelt
has done They cast their votes In order
to show that they approve his course. In
my Judgment their action may safely be
accepted as indicati ting the sentiment Of
New England toward the. administra ton.
did not see SO much of the state Of
Maine as did of Vermont. but what did
see convinced me that the vote there will
be in line with the action of the people OK
vermont. The votersAof Maine have before
them the same reasons for voting to Sus-
tain the President. and 1 have not the
least doubt that they will do So
Il found the farmers of New England
well satisfied with the manner in which
the government is being conducted. They
realize that anything that tends to pro-
duce lack of confidence in the future.
such as putting party in power that has
stood for policies in opposition to those
the country has followed in it's times of
prosperity, Is hazardous in the extreme.
They are fully alive to the situation that
now confronts them.
From my information l feel satisfied
that the sentiment that is so general in the
New England states in which 1 have been
extends over the country. l look for an in
creasing sentiment in favor of the repub-
hcan party from now until November"
