Kuitor:—Although some distance from home, my thoughts naturally turn to old Pennsylvania and to your town which was recently my abiding place. Thinking that perhaps a brief discription of what I ■have seen since leaving Jefferson county may bo of interest to your readers, I submit the following: In company with four other citizens of Jetffcrson county I visited the World's Fair last week, and want to lake this opportunity of correcting a misleading and exaggerated statement as to the hi /h rates of living in Chicago, of the "Chicago Sharks" waiting to see whom they may devour, anjl of the advantages taken of the visitors to the great Fair. Chicago has beenknown as being a cheat) city to live in and a six weeks'stay there four years ;i o demonstrated this to my personal satisfae tion, but along with thousands of others. expected to pay a much higher rate during the Fair for the same accommodation. In this wo were mistaken, and the reasonable charges we paid for room and board may not be accounted for by arrangements made before landing in the city. We arrived in the city at !) o'clock a. in., and <iur first stop was made at a nice, clean looking restaurant. Being hungry Reordered a first-class meal, the first course consisting of straw- berries and cream, this being reinforced with a meal that would cost one dollar in Pittsburg. With faltering step and trcrmi ions voice I walked to the cashier's dcsl and asked for the bill for the live break lie took his pencil and marked fasts. thcii were moments of agony to me for tu being as hungry as when wo entered the place 1 feared we had been prodigal -live times thirty-live, fl.75. We debated the advisability of eating enough right then and there to do us a week, for wo thought wo had found the Klaorado of Chicago. We made at least three dollas by eating that breakfast in Chicago rather than in Pittsburg.Ilefore leaving the cashier asked if "we were visitors to the Fair?" On being answered in the affirmative he offered to send a man with us to show us some rooms that he thought would likely suit us. Wo looked at the rooms and they pleased us. Fifty cents a day was the charges. This is in the heart of the city within live blocks of the post office. Although located ourselves just to see how the prices we were paying compared with the rtUa, we made inquiry in different localities and found that bating the rainier House and the high toned ho tels, two dollars at most would he all the money necessary to spend each day Cor liv- L' This line comprises Cheviots, Serges, Clays, and all the late styles in sack and cutaway suits. <Dur trade is constantly increasing.
