is capital, for the man In bis office and

time when a married woman was not

The 1904 World's fair Is the only
peat exposition to ba complete and ready
for the opening of the gates on the time
appointed. In a newspaper's limited
(pace it Is absolutely impossible to de
scribe, or even catalogue, all of the fea
tures that will appeal to the visitor.
The Inside Inn solves one great prob

hefnre the openinf this great hostslry,
with accommodations for 8,0X10 guests,
era ready for the reception of gnests.
It is ths largest hotel in ths world, and
U entirely within ths exposition grounds,
restores of its equipment are 2.510
likening rooms. The kitchen Is 200 feet
ring and 72 feet wide. There are 84
feet of range, thirty steam roasters, veg
etable cookers and soup stock kettles;
four dish washing machines with a ca
pacity of 40,000 pieces of china an hour;
battery of 15 mammoth coffee urns.
There Is a sab-kitchen, a laundry, a bak
trr and a store room, all lu the base
ment A force of 1.800 trained employes
are required to operate the hotel.
The rates prevailing at the Inside Inn
are controlled by the Exposition man
agement, and they do not exceed those
charged at any first-class hotel In St.
Louis In ordinary times. Ou the Euro
peas plan the World's Fair visitor may
be comfortably located for $1.50 per day,
including admission, to the exposition.
Prices for a luxurious room with bsth
ranee up to $5 per day.
Thirty-eight of the States of the Union
have erected magnificent club houses In
the wooded section of Forest Perk, and
have created what is called the Plateau
of States. Every type of approved ar
chitecture is represented. The World's
Fair visitor, no matter fmm whst sec
tion, will find the hospitable portals of
these mnnriou always open to him.

acres two square miles every section
is of easy accexs. Thirty-five miles of
ipleudid roadway intersect the grounds.
The Imra-Mnral Kailroad, with 14 miles
of trifcke. whiks the visitors to any sec
tion in rapid time on the payment of one
fare. The miniature steam railways
have 12 miles of track and complete the
most elaborate transportation scheme
ever designed for any exposition.
The Cascade feature of the World's
Fair, the center of the "main picture,"
for beauty and grandeur totally eclipse
all the courts of honor of former great
expositions. Crystal waters, springing
from three monumental fountain, plunge
dow n os many cascades a distance of 3J
feet, with s fall of 80 f-et, and enter
the grand basin. Here the waters di

and picturesque small craft ply these

architecture of the splendid structure of
the main exhibit palaces.
Eleven million dollar will scarcely
cover the United StHtes government's
participation In this greatest of all
World's Fairs. The government building
Is the largest, handsomest and most ex
pensive ever built for exposition pur
poses by any government. In It are un
rivalled displsys by the Smithsonian In

The display of big gun Is made outside

England, Franc and Germany have
