Big Hotel in the Woods
Tavern Inside the Worlds Fair Grounds,
Surrounded by Forest, Offers a
Luxurious and Restful Retreat.
COMFORT AT THE WORLDS FAIR.

The comfort for the visitor to an ex-
position was never the subject for so
much intelligent thought and prepara-
;lon as it has been at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at ST. Louis.
One Of the features that cannot fail
to appeal to the visitor is the conven-
fence AID comfort afforded by the In
si0e Inn, "A structure of 2,257 rooms,
covering an area OF 400 by 500 feet.
wholly within the Worlds Fair grounds.
Probably no hotel ever built commands
a view so diversified or grand. From
the wide verandas that surround the
mammoth structure wonderful panO-
rama spreads before one. Many Of the
State buildings with their giant and
magnificent structures, present their
most attractive facades. Some Of the
foreign buildings may be seen, and the
forest Of towers and turrets, dOmes and
minarets. rising above the great exhibit
palaces and seen through the forests Of
real trees that surround the hosiery
give token Of the other glories that lie
beyond.

front Of Festival Hall. the center of the
rain picture of the Exposition, the
man. Another five minutes walk and
the visitor may find himself on The
Pike, a street Of amusement, a full mile
long. with the shows % all nations in
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 architectural
| t-iumphs ever assembled in any one
] place. Notwithstanding its close proX-
! unity to these scenes of gayety and
! splendor, noise and confusion, the In
side Inn offers a delightful retreat.
| During the noon hour the visitor may
! retire for a brief rest and resume mis-
delightful task of sightseeing refreshed
and all the more able to appreciate and
enjoy the Worlds Fair wonders.
! The rates at this hotel within the
/ grounds are no higher than those
charged elsewhere. A good room may
be had for $3.50 per day, including ad-
/ mission 70 the grounds. Other rooms
may be had up to $500 per day accord
ing to the luXuries demanded. There is

and with childish earnestness. the little
daughter of George Lynch, on trial here

What has become of the crab? Is the
side-stepping tribe to disappear like the
vast flock of wild pigeons and other
birds and beasts that have become ex-
tainct? Did the long and cold weather
of last winter kill them Off. or have
they moved?
These are questions marNetmen, bay
and river men. and consumers generally
are asking concerning the water spiders
so popular among all who have ever
lived near or heard Of Chesapeake Bay.
"a Unparalleled Scarcity.
Never in the history of crabs, since
Powhatan and his associate chiefs show
ed Engiishmen how to eat them, have
they been so scarce as they are this

NEW ROCHELLE, n. J., June o.
Bitterly denouncing as not only sacri-
lege but as downright blasphemy the
farce-comedy Christmas Island
meaning BlackwelTs Island-which has
been going the rounds of the yacht
clubs along the Sound. the Rev. Thomas
T. Mclaughlin, known as the singing
priest, who was formerly pastor Of the
Catholic Church of the TRANSPORTATION
OF New YORK and now IS stauoneo IN
New Rochelle, came out today in an
open letter.
Priest in Box Seat.
The play was written by Clay NJ.
Greene, Of the Larchmont Yacht Club
and was first produced last summer at
the theater of that club, where II caused
considerable comment. Recently. when
It was repeated in New Rochelle at the
yacht club entertainment, the priest
and some of his friends had box seats.
Father Mclaughlin says that while
the curtain was still down he listened
with pleasure and anticipation to the
singing Of the 'Adeste Fidels.' but 10
his disgust when the curtain rose ne
found that three convicts, in their cells,
had been entertaining him. The con-
victs. who wore striped prison CARP,
with balls and chains on their legs,

tan religion One. joke that shocked
the priest in particular related TO
Bethlehem. One of the .jailbirds asked
where Bethlehem was, and what had
The reply OF the others was that it
was the headquarters of the steel trust.
Perversion of Genius.
''It is strange" says Father McLough-
lin. In his open letter. that man o.
Mr. Greene's genius, whose passion play
at Santa Clara has stirred our souls in
a wondrous way. should have TO shock
a Christian audience by his would-be-
witty illusions 20 Bethlehem, and the
birth that took place there; strange that
he. a Christian should try 10 make peo-
pie laugh by having convicts who car

year-old son of Mrs. Mamie Cannon, re
siding at Limestone. Tenn, awoke at
night. and in a voice that indicated
fright told his mother that a snake

it as only fancy of the child, told him
to be quiet and go to sleep In a short
time his mother was again aroused by
the cries Of the child. who insisted that
a snake was ia the bed.
The mother scolded the child until
IL again became quiet. When Mrs. Can
non arose at daybreak she went TO her
child's bed. and there, cOIled up beside
the boy, was a large blacksnake
Selling her child. the mother lifted him
quickly from the bed. The reptile
crawled up the wall into the garnet. The
snake has not been seen since. The
child was not injured by 1t.

The thing that has occupied the

during the last week, after the dis
, cussion Of bolt from the democratic
party, has been Christian science.
Several long editorials have appeared
on the subject in papers that have
generally been satisfied with Quip.

all now say that that cult has passed
the stage OF rificule and is something
that nUst be reckoned with as a
prominent part of the religious move-
ment OF the day. The New York sun.
which has heretofore treated the
movement only with sarcasm, had coll
umns of fairly commendatory matter
about the great million dollar First
Church Of Christian science at 96th
street, of which l wrote something
the other day. The Sun says ~Their
number is constantly growing and,
apparently, with rapidity. Its tenn
pies of worship, built by its devotees,
are many and frequently imposing.

Notes From New York

The number OF cattle that can be
put in a car is limited by law in New
York, but the number of human be-
ings is not SO limited. In Europe the
same consideration for human beings
is demanded of the corporations for
human beings as for cattle. The cor
porations own the government here,
but over there the government owns
the corporations.
The independent., 1904-01-28

funds to be used are quite generally
regarded as blood money"
The independent., 1904-01-28

| There were AL new national banks
created last year, every one of which
will be a little center Of activity to
keep the party in power that grants
special privileges to the few. Each
one of these can take their capital
put it in bonds and then take the
bonds down to Washington and get all
the money they have invested back
and get interest on the bonds also.
That is a nice little privilege. An
other item in the comptroller's report
shows that while the banks increased
their capital only $48,1S0,000 their
loans increased $2Ol 100000 So the
banks not only got double interest
on their capital, but they loaned and
got interest on nearly five times as
much money as they put into the
business. The banker winks his left
eye and the mullet heads continue to
vote 'er straight"
