Challenges to Local rnjillsts-Facts About Baseball In England, rSrECIAL COEBiSPOKDEXCB OF Till DISPATCH. 1 " BosTOK, August 23. The two Boston - clubs did a good business during Grand Army week, but the Leacue team had away the best of it, no less than 24.000 people at tending the six games st the League grounds. The Brotherhood people had OTer 14,000 in five games, and played in New York on Sat- nrday to over 8,000. What a blessing for both sides if there were fewer conflicting datesl ilutrie's down-trodden warriors, fresh from the mud flats of Harlem, appeared here the last day of the encampment, and Jim's strong breath was taken away when he gazed on a crowd numbering nearly 7,000. Ab, but tilings would bavo been different for Mutrie's band it the men under Kelly were playing in town, for it is a well-known fact that Saturday is always a big bonanza for the Brotherhood In this city. The Bostons (N. L.) are playinc win nine ball, and Jim Mutrie told me tbattbey can beat any Brotherhood team in the land. Bat Mutrio says more than his prayers, and it would be hard to make any fair-minded man believe that Selee's men could best the Play er. League team of this city. The League dnb has the best pitchers and catchers, but In bat tine and base-running they are lost in the shuffle with King Kelly's men. MUIEIE'S TALK. "I tried to get Miller away from Pittsburg." said Mutrie to me, "bnt it seems after promis ing to let him go there was a big kick made, and I did not get him. Be was crazy to play with me, and I wish we had him. as he is a rat tling good man. A funny thing happened in one of our games in Pittsburg. We had no op position, and tbe Brotherhood people concluded to co to League park to cuy the Pittsburg League team. Well, say, you talk about gilt edge ball playinc. but you ought to see the Pittsburgs play that afternoon. Whr, tbe sec ond baseman just cat up base hits, and we were fairly slaughtered. Tbe Brotherhood crowd returned home with a better opinion of the Pittsburg League team." "Truthful Jim" (Mutrie) went on to tell me about tbe miserable attendance in New York this season, and be says people hare no idea how cinch money both ides are losing. "Will there be a compromise?" I inquired. Mutrie shook his bead and remarked rl can't see how it can be brought about." Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn are op posed to a compromise and want to fight to the bitter end. Spalding, too, has had bis back bone stiff ened up, and now he wants goie. Several months aso when Chlcaco (N. L.) were drawing 200 or 300 a day, Spanlding was willing to have the schedule changed. It looks now as if the Brotherhood will not be an easy organi zation to beat, and the League people are will ing to admit that they have made a bold stand. 1 w ant to see the League live and prosper, but 1 am against monopoly at every stage of tbe race, for I was a sufferer by tbe reserve rule while a member of the Buffalo club. I was oi . fercd S2.0U0 to join the Cincinnati Unions, in ISM, but I was politely told that I must stay in Buffalo for 7u0 less or grace tbe blacklist. free country, en: nere uoes it come in wun tbe reserve rule in operation? I bave always been in favor of two and three ear contracts, then when a man is free, let him go where be can get tbe most money. -fc A HAED TUSSLE. The Bostons and Brooklyns are caving a hard tussle for nrst position in tbe League race, and both clubs must keep pegging away for keeps if they wish to stay ahead of Cincinnati and Philadelphia, who are close on the leader's heels. The Bostons bave tbe best batteries, and they ought to beat out Brooklyn if tbey meet with co more unfortunate accidents. Lowe is once more in harness, but he has taken a big drop In batting since his return to the team. This is cot tube wondered at; he has been laid up since last May. and has had no chance to practice, as his knee has been en cased in tplints most of tbe time, Paul Hines is still witn us, but it is doubtful if he will be kept if Lowe shows up well in the field; that is to say. if bis knee doesn't go back on him again. Charlie Bennett hurt bis ankle a few w eeks ago, but tbe old reliable is once more in harness, and will go in six days a week if it cots down to bard pan. Old Charlie Smith is playing in great shape, and cow captains the club instead of OanzeL Tbe directors are satisfied with Ganzel, but tbe latter was so pleased with Smith's work during his own lay-off that he toldbmith to go on and captain the cine. Martin Sullivan is as straight as a string this season, and bis fine work shows what he is ca pable of when betakes coodcareof himself. The wonder of tbe season, however, is "Chippy" McGarr, who was not strong enough for the Western League last season. At pres ent McQarr is playing a better came at third than any man iu tbe country, and he bids fair to hold out till tbe season is over. Kelly's men are in the lead, but Chicago and Brooklyn are right in their wake. Chicago, under Uomiskey, gets tbrown down in tbe East, ana tbe present trip may be no exception to tbe rule. Tbey will miss Latham In this city. Arlie was a great card in this tow n, where he is well known. Chabi.es J. Foley. ETODAY TO ETIH The Popnlar Outfielder to Beccmn a Y. sl C A. Official or Cblcnco. A wen authenticated report was current last evening to the effect that the reason why W. A. Sunday has been transferred from the Pittsburg N. L. club is because he intends to rctire-from ball playing at the end of this seison. He has been offered the Assistant SecretarvshiD of tbe Cbicasro Y.1LC. A. and has accepted the position. It is stated that the officials of the Philadel phia club did not know this wben they made the deal to exchange Burke and Dav for him. If this, Sunday's retirement, is true tbe deal is not a bad one and tbe Philadelphia people hare gotten a little the worst of it. providing there is not a general break-up at the end of tbe season. It has been known for some time past that bunday was about done witb base ball, at least his desire has been in another di rection for some time.

August 21 The Kansas City Denver game had an exciting finish to-day. Tbe questionable decisions by Umpire Jeyne in tbe ninth inning, when Kansas City was about to tie the score, enraged the crowd to such an extent that they swarmed into the field hoot ing and jeering the umpire. Two young boys got bold of a rope, and in fun proposed to lynch him. This added to the excitement, and it looked for a time as if tbe umpire would be mobbed. Jimmy Manning climbed up to tbe top of the fence ana addressed the mob. He said ihe umpire had decided nghtly, and ad vised that no violence be attempted. This quieted the mob to a degree. In the meantime the players ot both clubs formed a hollow square around the umpire, nd con ducted him to tbe clubhouse, whence he es caped to a cab and was driven way. Baseball in England. Young gentlemen interested in baseball In England continue to assure those of us who are on this side of the Atlantic that baseball Is a howheg'snecess among tbe Britishers. Facts, however, dispute the statements of the young men. Authoritative information from Derby states that the Derby club-invariably received JL50, and even less than that, for its share of the gate receipts. Mr. SudelL one of the British League officials, complains publicly that "high prices of admission" and too expert pitchers were responsible for tbe poor patronage.- These facts are really so strong that it is surprising that endeavors should be tnaae to hoodwink the American pnblio on a question tbat is of comparatively little concern here. It is amusing to bear of a successful performance only realizing six shillings, a dollar and a half, out of which to pay the expenses of ten men. Ball Rnmri To-dny. Nattonai.

Taylor received a black eye, and then Manacer Chapman separated the men. Taylor nqw says he will not play first base in the games in which Meacin-pitches. Manacer Ewine says that tbe resolution passed by tbe Players' League regarding uni forms does not make it compulsory for any club to confine Itself to any particular kind of uniform at home and abroad. Of course, no two clubs can appear in the same uniforms in tbe same game. That is exactly why the reso lution was adopted.

Hurled Into Eternity In the Gravity Eond Disaster She Made Her Fortnne Through n Secret Arrangements for Her Funeral A Remarkable Woman. Philadelphia, August 24. In a hand somely mounted casket the body of Miss Harriet Hinkle, the aged maiden lady who lost her life in tbe terrible disaster on the ML Fenn Gravity Bailroad on Thurs day, arrived in this city last even. ing and was taken to her late home, 254 North Thirteenth street, where it will remain until the arrangements for the fuoeral shall bave been completed. Then the body will be removed to a plot ot ground in Laurel Hill Cemetery, which was purchased by Miss Hinkle abont 25 years ago, and over which she has watohed with jealous care for all that time. In many respects Misa Hinkle was a most remarkable woman, and was de scended from a family of old Pennsylvania Dutch stock that is known throughout the State. She was over 83 years old at the time she met her death. She came to this city shortly after the death of her parents, more than a score of years ago, and em barked in the business of removing cancer ous and other superfluous growths from af flicted persons. In this respect, by a secret process, she achieved great success. Miss Hinkle's first real estate investment was in the form of a lot in Laurel Hill Cemetery, and in it she had the bodies of her dead relatives interred that is, of those who were immediase members of the family. She hlso had a grave ar ranged for herself, and devoted as much attention to it as she did to her household. It was in this connection that her eccentricities if such they may be called first made themselves manifest. Twice, and sometimes three times a week she visited that grave. In summer she kept it beautiful and green, and every single blade ot grass -was pot longer than the other. At the foot of the grave there stood, and stands now in full bloom, a rose bush which she trimmed and pruned as though she had no other object in life. In winter time she was no less frequent in her visits to the spot where she intended her remains to find a last resting place. When the wind was howling aud sobbing through the leafless boughs of the trees that over hang the .vast city ot the dead, and when every other giave seemed dreary and for saken hers was always in the finest order possible. It she visited it and found snow on the tombstone or around the marble rail she removed it with her own bands and even covered the little mound with a water proof sheet. That she anticipated her death and made every provision for her interment is proven by the tombstone. It is not a very elaborate affair, but is neat and attractive and bears this inscription: Sacred To tbe Memory of Harriet, Daughter of Philip and Sarah Hinkle. Born June 10th, 1S07, In Robeson Township, ' Berks Co., Pa. On the lower part of the tombstone there is a space leli for the date of death and the age, and the work will soon be finished. But while all this was going on Miss Hinkle's medical practice was being kept up, her reputation was spreading and her bank account was increasing. Miss Hinkle was a familiar figure in her neighborhood, aud in spite of her advanced age, moved about with the activity and en ergy of youtb. The indirect cause which led to her death is rather singular. For a number of years all the members of her family had lived on a site on Mount Penn, over which the ill-fated gravity road now passes. She was in the' habit of visiting friends in and near Beading at regular intervals, and on Monday last she left this city for what she said would probably be her last visit to the scenes of her childhood. On arriving at Beading she went to the residence of her old friend and distant relative. "While there the two women conceived the idea of taking a trip over the gravity road, in order that Miss Hinkle might get a farewell glimpse of the site of tbe old family home stead. The point where the place could be seen had just been passed when the car broke away or its mad career and hurled both women into eternity. Miss Hinkle's will, which was made many years ago, has not yet been found. Her real estate nd -personal property are estimated to be worth between $100,000 and $160,000. KALAKTJA IK TE0UBLE.

One man was shot and a dozen others were badly beaten, while the floating theater, in which, tbe perlormance was given, was wrecked. The trouble was inaugurated by a crowd of tough young men, who persisted in in sulting the people on the stage during, the second act. Three of the men at once left the stage witb clubs, and attacked the men. The three performers were attacked in turn by the audience, overpowered and cruelly beaten. Tbe remainder of the company went to their assistance, when some one turned ont the lights.

The police arrived and deputized a number Of citizens to aid in quelling the riot, butthis soon made matters worse, and revolver shots began to echo around the ball. Finally the crowd charged on the stage' after the fleeing performers, who were unceremoniously tbrown into tbe river, where they were stoned in tbe darkness.

Ten years ago the three Lake brothers, all Meth odist ministers, conceived tbe idea of starting a campmeeting resort by the sea side. Tbey purchased an island with seven miles of beach front along the At lantic Ocean. This was known as Peck's Beach, and inhabited principally by wild cattle and mosquitoes The first cost of the island was $8,000. Bailroads were built, steamboat wharves built, sandhills leveled and salt marshes filled, underbrush and trees removed and buildings erected. The improvements cost 250.000. The 3,000 acres made 30,000 building lots, and nearly one-half of these have been sold, and it is said tbat all debts are long since cancelled and the balance of the lots are the profit of this enterprise, which has made millionaires of each one of its fouuders. It is now a stock company. Kevs. Wesley and James Lake are still unassum ing Methodist preachers bard at work at their regular charges, while Ezra, the superintendent of the association, directs the business management. Their original plan was to make this a Christian resort, which it still eminently is; but some of the original ideas have been chanced by the more worldly minded Borough Council. For several years no Sabbath desecration of any kind was permitted, and until the Council re cently made the change no Sunday trains entered the place, and even bathers were not seen iu the surf on the Lord's day; in deed, even now, the bathers must secure their suits on Saturday night. All tbe deeds, in big letters, expressly state that no dancing shall be allowed on the property purchased under penalty of forieiture, and liquor shall never be sold. ' STRIKES AND THE PUBLIC. Sentiment In This Country Not Peculiarly Fnvornblo to Corporations. Harper's Weekly. It intelligent men who are employed in any capacity upon a railroad think that they are justified in producing quasi-anarchy in any community because they may have a just grievance, they hold views which' are fatal to all social order. They may not see it, but what tbey propose as b, remedy for an alleged grievance is war. They do not defy a railroad company. They challenge the whole community of intelligent, indus trious and Jaw-abiding citizens, who are the overwhelming body ol tbe American people. Public sentiment in this country is not pe culiarly favorable to great corporations, or inimical to those who live bv wages. The vast majority of the people five by wages, and upon any plain statement of wrong to railroad hands, or any other wage-workers, the pressure of public sympathy is with them. Railroad companies have no right to re gard themselves asengagedinan exclusively private business. They are bound to act with regard to the probable effect of their action upon the public; from whom they bave received franchisee, and with whom tbey have made a contract. There is a simi lar obligation upon tbe employes of the road. Both company and employes have assumed duties to the pnblio which they cannot honorably disregard. This is a truth which was never so clearly perceived as now, and never more emphasized in tbe public mind than by the late Central strike. fA-: ZjaM,' BUSBU. SLIlfc.

A couple of sharpers made an unsuccessful at tempt to-day to work the bunco game to the amount of $5,000 on Thomas Marshall, a wealthy citizen and bank director. On Thursday morning a stranger opened con versation with Mr. Marshall, whom he in formed that he was a Philadelphia lawyer, and proposed to buy tbe Phillips House and Mr. Marshall's handsome residence, which adjoins it. Mr. Marshall informed him that the Phillips property belonged to, a Mr. Donahue, of Wilmington, and the stranger then proposed that they should drive to Wil mington to-day to consult the owner about the purchase. This morning the sharper reappeared and be and Mr. Marshall started to drive to Wilmington. Thev bad not cone far when they met a stranger coming in the opposite direction, who inquired the way to Oxford. Some conversation ensued, wben the second sharper drew a pack of cards and a game was begun. The first sharper won $5,000 and Mr. Marshall was invited to take a hand, which he did, and was allowed to win?5,000. The swindler informed him that be ore the money could be given to him it would be necessary for him to pro duce an equal amount. Mr. Marshall scented the game that was attempted to be played on him and declined to show bis money, whereupon the confederates left him. BBUTALLY BLACKJACKED. Atlantic City Officers Unmercifully Beat and Cat a Prisoner. Atlantic City, August 24. William McMahon, a Philadelphia foundryman, was brutally blackjacked at the Bead ing depot this evening. A drunken friend of his was prevented from getting on the train by a special officer of the Beading road. McMahon expostulated with the officer, when the latter seized him and aided by two other special officers dragged him out on Atlantic avenue. McMahon protested against such rough treatment, bnt was soon rendered senseless by the combined onslaught of six officers, including three members of the Atlantic City police force. .They plied their clubs and blackjacks unmercifully, cutting several deep gashes on the un fortunate man's face and head. The onlookers were much , in censed and disgusted at the wanton savage ness of the officers, and would undoubtedly have attacked them but for the timely arri val of a patrol wagon. County Physician Beiiey dressed McMa hon's wounds, one of them requiring as many as six stitches. BTBUGGLE WITH AN INSANE MAN. He Tries to Itldunp Ills Child and His Wife Interferes.

Vaughen was subsequently pronounced in sane, and was confined in the Insane Hos pital at Jacksonville. Upon his Telease he sought every occasion to kidnap his 6-year-J Barrett to accompany him to the home of his wife in Lewiston. The child was play ing in the yard and Vaughen seized it The mother ran out of the house scream ing frantically for help, and a terrific struggle ensued between man and wife.

Expect a Prosperous Season. HUHBEES0PN0N-UN10K W0BKMEN Will Find Employment at tbe Factories in Kew Jersey This Tear. AGENTS ABROAD SEEKING BELGIANS (SPECIAL YlX.XQV.lSi. TO THE DI8PATCH.1 Camden, N. J., August 24 By Monday next, September 1, nearly all the glass fac tories of South Jersey will be in blast, in about the same condition as retrards the at titude of capital and labor as when tjie last blast ended. Prom every direction come re ports of a prosperous outlook for the season. The early start in the flint branch, this year, is indicative of a good season's busi ness. Stocks are light and prices are good, and both workers and manufacturers look with confidence into the future, as is evi denced by recent changes in the list and the advance in wages, which was readily granted by the manufacturers. In the tableware branch of the flint trade very few factories have resumed. Among them Oillender's, Philadelphia, and two or three in Western Pennsylvania, but none of the Pittsburg tableware shops will go into blast before September. . HEAVY STOCKS ON HAND. It is the impression among manufacturers of these goods that tbe year's business would, prove more profitable, on the whole,.if the starting up of factories was delayed and the summer stoppage prolonged until after the 1st of September. Slocks have been consid erably reduced, especially in novelties and special sizes and shapes, but in the regular lines stocks are still reported heavy. In the lamp chimney branch there, was a gen eral resumption throughout the country during the week just closed.. The officers of the National Trades' " Assembly No. 143, K. of L. (green glass), have had conferences with Moore Bros., Clayton, and Brookfield, Brooklyn, K. x., and bave won a victory in the latter case, Brookfield agreeing to run his furnaces un der union regulations. This is quite a vic tory for" tbe green glass blowers, asBrook field's is a large plant and will furnish situ ations for a number of union men who were forced to pass the last season in idleness and depend upon the union for support. With Moore Bros., Clayton, the men were not suc cessful bu they have not given up hopes of getting me lactones TJNDEB UNION BTTLES, and expect to have another conference with the firm this week. The apprenticeship question is the only bone of contention, there being no kick over the question of wages. The arrival of a number ol Belgiau glass blowers in Bridgeton during the week has caused a stir in window glass circles, and the New Jersey members of the EasteWDis trict Wage Committee are at present mak ing a thorough investigation, and will have the men returned to Europe if they are-not union blowers. Mr.Beuben Chew, of Millville, who was a delegate to this convention of the Universal Federation of Window Glass Workers, re cently held in Paris, says tbat while he was in Europe he discovered a couple of agents for American manufacturers who were scouring the glass districts of France and Belgium in search of blowers. He under- oenA tt,Q IIV,. Ph.V Hfulina rf T3-If?vn,n was also in Europe after workmen, but saw nothing of him while he was across the ocean. The AGENTS APTEB BLOfVBBS, Mr. Chew says, wanted then for factories in Findlay, O. Mr. Chew says that he does not look lor a heavy influx of foreign blowers, that the convention in Paris regu lated tbe matter as far as union men were concerned, and that the officers of L. A. 300, in this country, are ample prepared for the non-union workmen and will see that they are shipped back without delay. The scale for the next blast has been agreed to by nearly all the window glass manufac turers in the East, and a number of fur naces will start up September U. Among them the manufacturers in Baltimore and Hagerstown, Md., Millville, Vineland, Quinton, Atco, Winslow, N. J., and Wil mington, Del. Extensive repairs are being made to the 'furnaces at Giassboro and Bridgeton, ex cept the Cohansey works, which are ready to go into blast, and will prevent them start ing up until later in the month. STARTED 'WITH NON-UNION MEN. The Whitney glassworks at Olassboro, which started operations on Wednesday by placing non-union glass blowers in the flint factory, will shortly commence work in all the greenhouses, five of which are being rapidly sheared bo as to enable them to start by September 1. To-night fire was put under a third house, and as soon as possible tbe fourth-house will be started. Owing to the work which is unfin ished in this house a delay will be made of about two weeks, when the entire works will be running to their full capacity, which will require about 170 blowers, or about 500 hands altogether, all non-union. These men are working on the same scale of wages as last year, and seem satisfied. . A GOOD OUTLOOK. Manager H, S. Beokett to-day said' the outlook for the coming season is very excel lent, and no year heretofore has had as bright a prospect as the one just commenced at Millville. Whitall, Tatum & Co. have already started work in one or two flint glass factories and to-day will put three more flint factories into blaze. By Monday ,next their whole works, onq of the largest in the country, wjll be in full operation with all union bands. Bennett & Co. put fire under their window glass works to-day, and will go into blast on September 1. At Williamstown, Bodine, Thomas & Co. started their flint glass bouse this week, and yesterday one of tbe green factories went into operation. Everything is in readiness to start a third factory. Superintendent Hilvard said to-day that all the factories would run to their full ca- Eacity, giving employment to 95 or 100 lowers, all non-nnion men. He said the outlook was excellent and that tbe factories would be busy until June of next year. The FAILURE TO SECURE STONE for the furnaces will prevent the Monroe Glass Company Co-operative Works, run by blowers, at Williamstown, startiug at the time expected. At Clayton, Moore Bros, have fire under three factories, which will go into blast by Monday next. Here, as at Giassboro, non-union men will work again, all efforts to effect a settlement with the firm proving futile. Tillger Brothers, at Vine land, will start up promptly on Monday next, two to three weeks earlier than last year, with the same number of hands. They say their orders are fully up to last year's. The factory at Swedesboro, which has been idle for two years, has been leased by a Philadelphia firm and will be put in repair for starting at once. The Standard Window Glass Company, at Woodbury, will only put one furnace in blast in September. J. D. Troth, of the Executive Board of National Trades Assembly No. 143, Knights of Labor, abid to-day- that tbe outlook in tbe green glass trade was never better than this year, and that 2,500 union blowers would be at work by tbe end of the first week, in September.

BBTTHKABD'S DIABOLICAL SCHEME. He Das About lbs Props of Bonao to Make It Fall. Pittston, August 24.

Tbe diabolical scheme was fortunately de tected in time, and a warrant was secured for Brechel s arrest. ;tfr iyfj WssssaBl I SETTLING ON A SITE. Trouble In Finding a.iocation for the Columbian Eiposition. 0KLT TWO PLACES AVAILABLE. Chicago's Fair Will Probably be Eailt la Lake Front Park, COffSlDEEING COL. ANDREWS' SCHEME rsrzerat. TXLKPBAX TO DII DlaPATCH.1 Chicago, August 24. If Mayor Cregier deserved the scolding which Vice President Bryan gave him at the last meeting of the World's Fair board on last Tuesday even ing, he is bravely atoning for it now. The Mayor's Committee on Grounds and Buildings is just now the busiest thing about EiDOsition headquarters. It seems that it is always in session. Its door is al ways closed and the latchstring does not hangout., "Within the committeemen, if not in session, are listening to this or that delegation of citizens who want the Pair on the West Side, the Northside or the North west, as the case may be. Then comes an engineer who declares to them that it is "Possible to extend the Lake Front Park by filling in the lake; another assures them that it is out of the question to pile it. Then came Architect Jennison, of Chicago, and Colonel Andrews, of Allegheny, de claring that piling is perfectlv practicable, and the latter insists that he has seen simi lar work done in the face of greater difficul ties. A DIFFICULT DECISION1. The task which the committee must per form beiore Tuesday night is to determine whether 400 acres of space in the 600 acres of the swampy Jackson Park can be ob tained without entailing too great a cost, and, if it cannot, to determine what is the best site of all those ofiered and obtainable. The probabilities are that the Fair will go to the Northside site on the lake shore, to which attention was called in The Dis patch, beiore any prominence had been given to itin the Chicago papers, and before Landscape Artist Olnistead bad so strongly recommended it, Mr. Olmstead's argument in its favor is a strong one. The Fair, to be a success in an artistic point of view, mnst have a picturesque location. No site in or about Chicago has a picturesque locauou except toe two on tne laKe shore Jackson Park on the Southside, eight miles from tbe business center, and the North Shore site, six miles distant from the busi ness center in the opposite direction. Hence one of these two sits must be used if the buildings are to be so grouped as to secure the finest possible effect on the imag ination. NORTII SHORE THE BEST. Jackson Park, Olmstead thinks, will not do because ol the ereat expense of convert ing it from a morass into a meadow. The North Shore Bite, he says, will do because it is already high and dry, part oi it is beautifully wooded, and the view of the lake is more beautiful there than at Jack son Park. e Mayor Cregier's committee find that the title to this land is in the hands of a great many people, some of them minors, and that it will be very difficnlt to get it. Tbe World's Fair corporation, of course, does not bave the right of eminent domain, and cannot begin condemnation proceed ings. It can only negotiate, and if one stubborn laud owner gets in the way he may make the most beautiful site unavail able. The verv crrett difficulties which ronfrnnt the World's Fair people on everv hand may yet force them to unite on the Lake Front Park, raske the best terms they can with the Illinois Central, and patch out the land by building out over the water. COLONEL ANDREWS' IDEA. la tbat event tbe scheme suggested by Colonel Andrews, of Allegheny, will receive more careful consideration at the hands of the public than it has yet had. Mayor Cregier believes that it is entirely practica ble, but tbe Allegheny engineer's plan of building a number of small houses instead of several great structures will hardly strike the- average Chicagoan as just the right thing. He wants a great structure, some thing greater than has been seen at any pre vious exposition, something tbat will pro duce an impression on the visitors which shall not be easily erased. Tbat is what the Chicago man strives after most earnestly in the construction of everv new business block. He wants his architect to contrive something unique, something the like of which has never been seen before, something wbich can be seen nowhere else than at Chicago. Surely he will not forget his ruling passion when it comes to putting up tbe buildings of the Columbian Fair. ROGERS' ROYAL NERVINE Is a Strictly Vegetable Brain Restorative.
