McCulloch has been magnanimous
enough TO exclude any obligation foI

The general idea prevails that II one

Most people have. no doubt been
wondering what 1t will cost 70 pass a
few days al the Exposition. AS far as
can be learned, the price for sleeping
accommodation will be 81 per night
in private houses; up to $40 per night
at the hotels. The prices for mea S
win be about the same as at any first
class cafe In almost any city but the
difference will probably be that one
will pay the price without getting the
service. For instance. ono may get a
fairly good breakfast for 80 cends a
luncheon for the same, and dinner for
75 cents or 81. Then again. one may
patronlze either a cheaper or more ex-
penslve restaurant
