NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to which i !
free-is worth more in an educal
tional way than six months travel
or years schooling. AS to the
Pike, it far surpasses Chicago's
famous Midway. On both sides
of street nearly tweDmilesong
are found fifty shows, theadmssr
sion prices ranging from 10 to so
cents. Among the best we may
mention, as a pointer to future
visitoss, the japanese Garden and
Theater, Creation, the Battle Alb
bey, Hereafter, the Galveston
Flood, and last, but not least,
Under and Over the Sea, being a
strangely realistic trip to Paris in
submarine boat and return in
an air ship, and New York to the
North Pole, an equally strange
trip to the arctic regions and the
land of the midnight sun.
There are many other interest
ing features Of the Fair that are
worthy of more than a passing
notice, and which we will refer
to at another time. On our 4th
page in this issue will be found
some interesting items on some
of the wonderful sights to be seen
on the Pike, to be followed with
others later.

On our brief visit to st. Louis
last week we had the pleasure of
meeting the Hon. Ell. J. Hamlin,
the Attorney General of Illinois,
who was visiting the Fair with
his wife, accompanied by their
daughter. Alice, and son, Jack.
Thirty-one years ago, in 1873, we
made the acquaintance of Mr..
Hamlin in ShelbyVille Ills, who
was at that time promising
Young lawyer just entering public
life. We are pleased to see thai
his bright anticipations have been
fully realized. and that he nov
stands in the front rank of Iii
nois noted public men.

Citizens of little village in
Mississippi desired to honor their
Governor by calling the place
Vardaman. They sent an appli-
cation to the postofice depart
ment, but it was turned down,
with no explanation. There is
no other Vardaman postofice in
Mississippi, so the regulation
which prohibits duplicate names
in one State does not apply. It
is simply the petty 22-caliber spite
work of the Republican admins
tration, which has not had enough,
evidently, of its bad break in the
Indianola affair.-B. r. Times.

Courier Worlds Fair Trip.

Dy arrangement with the World (
Fair Tour Company of St. Louis
patrons of the COURIER may pur.
chase complete trips to the
Worlds Fair, including all the
expenses of a six days visit.
The impression prevailings
over the country that visitors to
the Worlds Fair would have diff.
ficulty in securing desirable ac-
commodations at reasonable rates
has resulted in the formation OF
company of st. Louis business
men, who make it their special
business to provide any kind of
accommodations desired at the
lowest rates.
The company has contracts for
reservations with several large
hotels, both permanent and tenn
porary, and has also contracted
with a number of the best restau-
rants to furnish it's patrons with
meals at prices much below that
which would be charged to the
individual.
The plan is a new and novel one.
The touring plan has, of course,
been great success both in this
country and Europe for years,
but the plan of this company
while being the same, in that it
provides the entire trip at a stip-
ulated price, does not require It's
patrons to travel in parties unless
it is so desired. The individual
may come and 60 as he pleases
with the knowledge that the cost
of his trip is determined before
leaving home.
The cost of the trip depends,
of course, upon the kind of quar-
ters desired. This is provided fol
by arranging thep trips in two
classes, Glass A and Glass B. The
Class A trip Includes first-class
round-trip railroad ticket, fifteen
days limit, six days. accommoda-
tions at the best permanent hotels
three meals per day. six admis-
sions to the Fair, transfer of bag
gage, etc. Glass B trip is the
same as Glass A, except that quar-
ters are provided in temporary
hotels.
The company also attends te
checking and re-checking of bag.
gage, validating of railroad tick
cts, looks after its guests in case
of accident or sickness, and fur
nishes guides, information about
the Worlds Fair, etc.
The arrangement for meals il
particularly advantageous, as ont
has the choice of eating at either
their hotel or various restaurant
within the Fair Grounds ant
down town, giving their patron
the benefit of the European plal
| at American plan rates
The Fair is entirely completed
land ID beautiful beyond descrip
tion, and now is the best time t.
see it. During the last tw'
months of the Exposition tn
city and Fair Grounds will be ez
tremely crowded, making it diff
cult and expensive to secure quar-
tiers. and still more difficult to Sc
lthe wonderful exhibits. It wi
| be well to go soon and avoid tn
crowds.
