An Era In Furniture.
"Old mission furniture," whose fault
less simplicity drew admiring eyes
wherever it was first seen a few years
ago, has swept the World's Fair. If
there ' is . any State building or office
\ or reception room on trie grounds
_ which isn't Cf'el out with "mission"
furniture will it please speak up. Its
| sway appeal? to be as absolute .is
that of tho bowbacked and bow-legged
horsehair chairs and -sofa rfr" forty

Ice Water Cases in the Desert.
* The watering facilities of the Fair
areVpfrthehecpest importance to the

facilities, since the Arrn.rican public

A tall, slim youpgman from Kvaiisvfl'Jd'I

nany of these by letter. In all cases j
ye have said that the stories were j

as compared with the rates of a
nonth or two ago. In all cases the
:d varices have been slight. The t.csImoiiy
of any- of the many thousands

Charges of extravagant prices by

city which, lias had an exposition,

Chicago. Nashville, Atlanta, NewOrleans,
Buffalo, Charleston and other
places which have had any sort of a
'air which attracted visitors from the
putside. Possibly in some cases the
iccusations were true. In general,
lowever, the real extravagance was
n the stories themeslves,. A year ago

pbtained from the proprietors of the
lotels and lodging houses of St. bonis
i schedule of prices which they ' intended
to charge, during the Exposi:ion

on hand for reference. In all cases
he figures were reasonable. Ir any

all the visitors who come, and for
many thousands in addition. The Fair
was a long time in preparation. One
of the things in connection with it
which had to be looked after was
housing capacity for the expected
guests. This was amply provided for,
as any visitor to St. Louis in the past
three or four weeks can testify. There
has been no extortion in the St. Lopis
hotels thus fax-. There will he none
during the Fair period. Room enough
is here for the entertainment of all
who may come, and consequently the
