PBIVILEGES WITH BIG FOETUSES Attached if They Can Be Secured Ij These Shrewd nusllere. EEPDSALS DO SOT DISHEARTEN THEM CniCAGO, March 7. In tins city at present are several thousand men, and a few women, who hall from different parts of the country, and have made Chicago their home for a short time. Unlike the Inno cent countrymen and supercilious Eastern ers, who usually make up our small floating population, these visitors are here, not to see how near Chicago approaches to the boasts of her citizens, but to hunt for op portunities for mating money. At the first blush it is amusing to think of outsiders at tempting to extract wealth from a city filled with the keenest searchers for lucre in the known world. , The very idea seems to be preposterous. But those who have stndied them do not laugh. They have observed that they are sharp-eyed, nervous hustlers, with unlim ited patience and pertinacity, and a habit, which Chicago hustlers utterly lack, of stopping every now and then for a careful snrvev of the field and some hard thinking. Like good generals, they pause sometimes in the thick of the battle to see whether the enemy has not an exposed side, and, finding it, change the attack for certain success. These guerrillas are prowling arouhd con stantly looking for openings. They do not care for Chicago, and most of them do not hesitate to say that they would not remain here an hour if it were not for the hope of acquiring riches. They must be the biggest, shrewdest, and most pertinacious hustlers in the communities from which they come, for they outdi even us a community of hustlers scrambling and fighting for money lrom birth to death. All Bave Orglnal Schemes. 2fearly every one of them has come here with more or less definite schemes, pre sumed to be original, for making money rapidly. All have come within the cast six months, and some have been here only a lew weeks. Their ranks are receiving fresh accessions almost daily, and it may be pre dicted that within another year at least 10,000 of them will be here. To tell the truth, it is the "World's Fair that lias attracted them hither. Chicagoans will be their prev to alinilted degree, but they will fight against the competition of Chicagoans for the dollars of the visiting multitude. Looking at the prospects calmly, the dis interested observer is appalled by the mul titude o. caretully planned and highly elab orated schemes that have been prepared lor fleecing the visitors to the Fair. It is not because these schemes are dishonest that one feels pity for the coming victims, but because they are so unique, so ingenious that thev are irresistible. The bureaus into which the World's Fair executive officers have divided themselves are haunted daily by many of the schemers. They always talk plausiblvhnd it is impossible to shake them oil "W'hcn the doors are closed in their faces they remain patiently in the- cor ridors until the men they want to see come out. The other day your correspondent had occasion to visit the office of Major Handv, the Promoter General. He found two of the schemers strolling up and down the hall and emitting volumes of smoke lrom their cigars. Nothing &eems to Discourage Them. They were neither impatient nor dis couraged br the fact that Mr. Dorr, Major Haudv's right hand man, had assured them that the Major would , be engaged for the rest of the day. They knew the Major, and, having made a careful survey of all the exits and entrances, were convinced that he could not leave his office without their knowing it. All that they wanted was to get hold of him. They were satisfied that even the Major's cunning would be no match for theirs. One ot the men was a striking character. He had sharp, Ceen gray eyes, an aquiline nose, a long black beard) and a very erect soldierly bearing. A keener looking man could not be found in a day's walk through our streets. He believed evidently in the policy of maintaining silence until the time should be iipe; for, while his companion, whose shrewdness was rather after the low order of cunning, rambled along about his schemes, he maintained a dignified silence, only an amused smile and an occasional monosyllable indicating that he was listen ing. None of these schemers is bothered by any noticeable modesty or backwardness in intruding on persons who may be of value to them. "I have come to Chicago simply to put in execution one idea," one of them said re cently, "and nothing else would keep me here for a minute. Consequently I can allow nothing to stand in my way. I am willing to bunk in a hay loft, go without my meals, be insulted 'and abused during the time I remain here, provided only that I can successfully accomplish my purpose. I don't pretend to live while I am here; I merely exist," Kpt all these money seekers have that spirit Another whom your correspondent met was determined to enjoy himself as much as his business would allow. They Are Bound to Slake Money. "I have been here now five months," he said, "and I expect to remain until the end of the Fair. I have come hero to make money, and I am bound to do it The Indi cations are very promising. But, mind you, J. am a philosopher. X have visited nearly everyeountry of the globe, and I know as well as anybody can the uncer tainty of life. I have always gone on the principle of enjoying myself reasonably by the way. Ever since I have ' been In this town I have devoted my leisure moments to contriving means of enjoyment. I must ad mit that this city is poorly adapted for eny such purpose. As a place to hustle in it is a grand success, but that's about the limit However, I have managed to find a few con genial souls, and by putting our heads to gether we contrive to secure a reasonable amount of pleasure. "We forget your short comings and enjoy your oddities. We find plenty of amusement in studying the char acter of the average Chicagoan, no matter where we find him. "We make the best of your drives and parks, and spend our Sun day? in delightful little excursions into the suburbs. The fact that we get along so" well is only another proof of my theory that, if men only will, they can get along uudcr the mo'si unfavorable circum stances." That unfriendly critic of our fair city said that he had come here shortly after it was certain that Chicago was in earnest about the fair. He had no definite idea at that time of just what he wanted to do. On his arrival he had hunted up an old time friend, who had'settled down here several years be iore, and had said to him: "Now look here, Henry, my boy, I have come to make a for tune. I've got some money as a basis, and am looking for somebody who has got a good scheme. You were always a fellow of ideas; now rack your brains and see if yon Cin't suggest some." . His lricnd must have been inspired, for at that very moment an idea flashed into his head which has since proved a bonanza. He suggested an advertising scheme, which was disguised so thoroughly that even business men have been 'deceived by it The schemer was not slow to perceive its value, and the work is so well under way that a profit of from 525,000 to $100,000 is in pros pect Well Supplied With Working Capital. Many of the schemers who have come supplied with working capital have gone into real estate speculation. A. large pro portion of our citizens are real estate mad just now, anyhow, and a shrewd speculator, whose mind is not influenced by local patriotism, can frequently extract a plum lrom ue DUDDung pudding by quiet and dexterous action. A few have made a good thing out of renting houses in' good locall ities and sub-letting them. In fact, there is hardly any form of speculation which li not being indulged in. In spite of the law which prevents the selling of liquor within a certain distance of the -Fair grounds, speculators hate rented buildings and are holding them with the.hope that the anti liquor law will be overcome before the Fair is opened. Should their hopes be realized fortunes will undoubtedly t be secured to them. The number of soda fountains, pea nut and popcorn stands which have been laid out in the vicinity of the Fair grounds will be enough to supply all the country men from here to the Pacific. The committee ot the World's Fair which has charge of applications for privileges has been overwhelmed by the visiting schemers. A small syndicate of these has made appli cation for the oxclusive privilege of selling peanuts and popcorn on tne uaircrounas. For that right they offered to pay $100,000. Much to their surprise and disgnit their ap plication was refused on the ground that the officers of the Fair had decided to grant no exclusive privileges. It is not believed, however, that the virtuous resolve will stand against the united attacks of thou sands of applicants, none of whom is will ing to share anv nrivilece with anvbodv else. As large sums are offered to the Fair J for exclusive privileges, and very little tor any other, it would seem as though the directors would be compelled to rescind their original action. One of the directors said: "It would be interesting to view the brain of one of these schemers. I" imagine that hardly any conceivable mechanical engine can display quite as' complicated and tireless action as one' of their thinking machines. PURE FOOD IN FAVOR By Some Congressmen, "While Others Attack the Move That Way. ARGUMENT. 0F SENATOR BERRY, AltGOBA GOATS FOB AKEEICA. Steps Being Taken to Introduce a New In dustry InThls Country. Washington,. March An effort is being made to introduce a new. industry in this country and domesticate in favorite parts of the United States the pure breed of the Angora goat, the hair of which makes the finest mohair used in ladies' dress fab rics. The Turkish Government guards sedulously its monopoly of the Industry of raising fine mohair, and br an edict of the Sultan the exportation of the wool-bearing Angora goat from TurkishMominions to any other part of the globe is forbidden. There are some species of the Angora goat in this country,but none (or at least very few.if any ) of the pure breed. Representative Her mann, ot Oregon, believes it is possible that Dy diplomatic negotiation the United States may secure a partial revocation of the edict against the importation of these goats, and that an extensive business in raising mo hair may be developed. At tbe request of the Agricultural Department, which is in teresting itself in the matter, and of the Angora Goat Breeders' Association of the United States, he has introduced a bill directing our Minister to Turkey to enter into negotiations for the purchase from Asia Minor of between 100 to 200 of the pure blood Angora goats. Southern California, Arizona and other parts oi the United States, it is said, are well adapted for tbe wants of these animals, and it is proposed to domesticate them in California first Mr. Hermann has called the attention of the House Committee on Agriculture to the subject, and will soon urge that the matter be taken up and the necessary steps to secure his object started.

Special. Jay Gould arrived here last evening, in his private car, and will remain until to-morrow, when he will depart for a trip through Mexico, the city of Mexico being his ob jective point Immediately npon the arri val of Mr. Gould's party, B. F. Yoakum, receiver of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass road, met Mr. Gould and took him on an extended carriage drive over the city. Mr. Gonld refused to see newspaper correspondents, referring all such callers to Dr. Munn. The latter stated that Mr. Gould had been suffering for several weeks with a Severe cold in New York, and that, fearing his condition would become alarming if he remained in that cli mate during the severe March weather, he ordered his patient to make a trip to a milder climate, and Mr. Gould, he says, has been already greatly benefited by the trip. He denies that there is any business sic- Lniflcance connected with the visit here, but it is believed that Mr. Gould has his eye on tho San Antonio and Aransas Pass road, which would prove a valuable feeder to his present Missouri Pacific system. It is given out by Aransas Pass officials that he will probably makca trip over the road upon his return from Mexico. AM? LEE WARTS A SIVOBCE. She More Is a Sonbrette, and IJkes a Bapld Lire Than Her Hnsband. New York, March 7. Amy Lee, the soubrette, is suing her husband, Frank Owers, of Leadville, Col., for divorce.

He met 'Miss Lee in Denver, nearly four years ago, while she was playing an engagement A year after ward they were married in Jersey City, and returned to Leadville to live. Mr. Owers was a busy man. and his wife presently longed for the excitement Ot the stage. They agreed presently to separate.

Colds and coughs have been so prevalent during the past few months that the expe rience of Albert Favorite, of Arkansas City, Kan., cannot fail to interest some of our readers. Here it is in his own words: "I contracted a cold early last spring that settled on my lungs and had hardly recov ered from it when I caught another that hung on all summer and left me with a hacking cough which I thought I never would get rid of I had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some 14 years ago with much success and concluded to try it again. When I had got through with one bottle my cough had left me and I have not suf fered with a cough or cold since. I have recommended it to others and all speak well of it" 60-cent bottles for sale by drug gists. TTSSu EXCURSION TO WASHINGTON, D. C., Via the B. Jfc O. K. K., Kext Thursday. March 10.

What inducements were offered to effect such a mar velous increase? For answer address Ed ward A. Woods, Manager, 1516 Market street, Pittsburg. Washington, March 7. The first half hour's session of the Senate to-day was con sumed in the presentation of petitions, most of them of a stereotyped character from re ligions associations for the closing of the World's Fair on Sundays, and from State granges on various subjects oi proposed legislation. Among the bills introduced and referred was one by'Mr. Sawyer to au thorize the establishment of a postal tele graph Bervice. Itauthorizes the Postmaster General, upon the advice .and approval of the Secretary of the Treasury and Attorney General, to contract with any penon, com pany or corporation owning or operating telegraph lines for the transmission ot cor respondence, press dispatches and postal money orders at such rates as may be agreed upon by the contracting parties, not to exceed the rates now charged for similar messages. Mr. Morgan moved to reconsider the vote whereby Mr. Dubois was declared entitled to retain his seat He said his sole purpose was that Southern Senators all of whom were excluded from the chamber when the act of 1886 was passed should have a right to say something as to the proper construc tion of that act under the Constitution. After a colloquy between Mr. Morgan and Mr. Teller the motion was laid aside tem porarily, as was also a motion by Mr. Mor gan to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Claggett's claim was rejected. Powerof a Els "Corporation. The resolutions heretofore offered by Mr. Call, in respect to railroad companies in Florida influencing the Senatorial election of 1891, and for the opening to settlement of the railroad land reservations in that State, were taken up, and Mr. Call ad dressed the Senate upon them. He spoke of the tribute exacted from the people of the United States by railroad Corporations a tribute larger in amount, he said, than twice the total cost of the Civil War and of the influence exercised by them In Flor ida, where the administration of justice was prostituted to them, and where decrees and decisions were rendered by the courts, in relation to the publio lanhs, without a shadow of lawful authority, and in the in terest, solely, of individual and corporation land owners! i At the close of Mr. Call's remarks the resolution as "to railroad lands in Florida was referred to the Committee on Public Lands, and the other resolution was al lowed to remain on the table. The pure' food bill was then taken up. and Mr. Berry addressed the' Senate. He ascribed the motive of the bill to the syndicates who controlled the lard industry of the country and who sought to put down the cottonseed oil industry, which compete! with them and brought to'the Southern States $15,000,000 a year. It was not because those syndicates cared whether the food used by the people was pure or Impure, but because they found that they could not charge the price they had been charging and compete with the cottonseed oil industry. Challenged in a Harry. Mr. Paddock challenged Mr. Berry to point out a single provision in the bill "that would favor one Industry at the expense of any other industry. Mr. Berry" replied that if the parties in terested in "the lard business could induce the Secretary of Agriculture to use the powers which the bill would confer npon him to pronounce against the purity of cot tonseed oil, that industry would be crushed and driven out of the market and competi tion against the lard industry would be de stroyed. Mr. Palmer expressed his sympathy with the' purpose of the bill. That purpose as described by Mr. Paddock was to purify commerce between the States. The State of Illinois had laws to punish the sale of adulterated food and drugs; and those laws, if enforced, were entirely adequate for the purpose. It was to be regretted, however, that they were not thoroughly en forced. He conceded that it was within the power of Congress to regulate inter-State commerce and to prevent the introduction of adulterated food and drugs into a State from other States or from foreign countries, and what ho regretted was that the Dill had not been happily arranged. Looking at the substance ot the bill he was inclined to sup port it Some of the sections of the bill he was prepared to support, bat others he thought were unnecessary 'and should be eliminated. Several Provisions Criticised. Mr. Palmer went on to analyze and criti cize several provisions in the bill. Ho re gretted the fact that instead of enforcing existing laws, tbe tendency was to enact new ones. They argued a feebleness of pub lio spirit which was greatly to be deplored, and the pending bill was. subject to that ob jection. He dreaded the bill because it left so much to the discretion of the Secretary of Agriculture. Congress and the people would never know what the law was until the Secretary of Agriculture declared it, That was a dangerous power, which he would not entrust to any public officer. In conclusion,Mr.Palmer said that the peo ple of the States could take care of their own rights in the local sale and use of food and drugs. He granted that they could not control Inter-State transportation, .and that the power of Congress in that respect was a most salutary power. But it had to be kept within its just limits. He protested against portions of the pending bill, how ever, as establishing the most rigid in spection of food and drugs, under the pre tense of regulating inter-State commerce. Unless the bill should be amended to the extent suggested by him he would vote against it The question was then taken on Mr. Coke's motion (made some days ago), to strike out sections 7 and & The vote re sulted: Yeas, 18; nays, 15; no quorum, and the Senate adjourned.

CHIOAOO, Match 7. Over 100 of the. striking, shoemakers bf Selz, Scwab & Co. attended the meeting of the Trade and Labor Assembly, to-day, and presented their grievances. One of the speakers said the firm paid some of its employes in damaged iliftM instead of in cash, which he had learned was a violation of a State law. The law referred to is known as the anti-truck law, wbleh'pr'ohibits employes paying their workmen in anything bht money. It was also claimed; that the firm, by a system of fines, kept the wages of many of the women down to a point jus suurcieut io allow them to exist.
