f'Al'SK OF THK IU'Hlt.
One day a confused and frightened
Nebraska farmer made his escape from
lhu football rush or the cunvds, and,
enteriiiK n Waslilni-toii street station
ers shop, just off State street, asked:
"Where are all these people In the
streets running to? It Is like a buf
falo stampede out on the plains. Has
tile broken out 'round here somewhere?
No," said the stationer quietly.
"KverythltiK's all light side up with
care, I guess. Kvery man you see
rushing round the corner In State
street Is hustling to make a dollar,
and every woman you see Is hustling
to spend n dollar."
Iteeently a tourist said that Chi
cago's wild-boar energy reminded him
of u mighty plggeiy. where every pork
er, even down to the little pig with a
sentimental cull In his tnll, was try
ing to get his snout in the same trough.
Amid nil this push and scrimmage
there are some funny contradictions.
For example, the genuine Chlcagoan
will run like a sprinter for four blocks
to catch a trolley car when he Is well
awnre that another Is coming two min
ute.1 later. Then when ho alights he
will waste half an hour discussing the
latest political scandal or the prob
abilities of a light between Corbett
nnd Fltzslinmons, before going to his
ofllee or going to work. If he hears
the bell ring for a bridge to turn, he
will run like a quarter horse to get
across before It swings, at the Immin
ent risk of plunging Into the river
and drowning or knocking others over
board and the moment he lands safely
on the other side, will stop to urgue
the silver question with the first per-..-..

EXPECTORATION.
The caustic and reproachful Insinu
ation of Mr. Kipling that Chicago poo
pie are addicted to the habit of expec
toration In public places Is not with
out foundation. There Is probably no
other city this side of Constantinople
or Port .Said where, as here, the civil
authorities would deem it necessary to
legislate against expectoration nnd post
warning plncnrds In big red and black
letteis to suppress the habit. This was
tho greatest reformatory work attempt
ed by Doctor "Hill" Kerr, commissioner
of health under Mayor Swift. These
large, spangled warnings were tacked
up in police stations, cheap lodging
houses, street cars, omnibuses, hotel

the lips of the wedded couple to whose
home there never comes the patter of
childish feet.
One cause, more than any other, con
tribute!) to making the tens of thousands
of childless, and consequently unhappy,
homes all over this country. The cause is
often the unconscious fault of the wife. A
woman who suffers from weaknesi and dis.
ease of the distinctly feminine organism is
unfitted for motherhood, nnd if she has
children it will probably be at the sacrifice
of her own life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription is a wonderful medicine for worn,
en who suffer in this way. It acts directly
on the delicate and important organs con.
cerned in wifehood and motherhood. It
wakes them strong, healthy, vigorous, vi-rile-and
elastic. It banishes the squeam.
ishness of the expectant period and makes
paby'a advent easy and almost painless. It
Insures the little new-comer's health and
a bountiful supply of nourishment. Thou,
sands of homes that were childless and
unhappy now echo with the prattle of
healthy babyhood, as the result of the use
of this marvelous medicine,

day not only the men but the business
women of Chicago who Invariably
enrry toothpicks letween their teeth
nt the hour of luncheon, make no ado
about expectorating In the crowded
public thoroughfares.
PISTOLH IN POCKET.
The practice of carrying concealed
weapons Is perhaps more general in
Chicago than elsewhere In this coun
try. The reasons for this are not far
to seek. There Is no street, however,
respectable the neighborhood, In which
pedestrians are safe from footpnds af
ter nightfall. Magistrates themselves,
whose business It Is to line other per
sons for carrying guns, hardly ever
venture nut without going armed. It
Is still fresh in tho public mind how
Justlre .lnrvls Ultimo, a west side mag
istrate, returning home one night from
a .social function, shot and killed' a
footpad by whom he was assaulted,
having a revolver handy In his over
coat pocket for tho emergency. The
other day Gabriel Vletlhomme, French
vice consul In Chicago, lost $100 while
boarding at cable car at Madison and
Dearborn streets. With a roll of bills
In his hip pocket was a revolver, nnd
the money was Inadvertently pulled
out when he transferred the gun to his
outside overcoat pocket, to be well
prepared for any attack. High nnd
low, rich and poor, make It n rule to
go armed. The Western cowboy, when
he arrives in this city, takes off his
blt nnd stows nwny his gun out of
sight; nnd he usually has it eonflsent
ed before he gets out of town. The
mayor and the chief of police are pest
ered constantly by apprehensive citi
zens who want permits to carry re
volvers for self-protection, and re
quests of this kind from persons of
good standing are usually granted.
Dr. Thomas and other militant and
warlike clergymen have thundered
fiom their pulpits the ndvlce that peo
ple should carry arms and .shoot down
a few of the terrorizing highwaymen
as an object lesson. Hank clerks and
express messengers go about like walk
ing arsenals. Iteeently west side busi
ness men, led by the young nnd ilery
members of their set. formed a large
association upon the platform that each
Individual member should "save his
money nnd buy a gun." The gun stores
and pawnshops do n great trade In
revolvers. Many citizens practice the
art of shooting from their pockets
without displaying their weapon at all.
The pistol pocket is a great institution
In Chicago. So many street cars have
been held up by bandits that for u
time It looked as though the companies
would have to equip their 10,000 em
ployes with revolvers to protect their
harvest of nickels. Judges of the
courts, editors who mould public opin
ion, and reporters are comnellorl in
some Instances, as they would be In a
frontier town or mining camp, to pro
vldo themselves with six-shooters.
CHICAGO'S HI VI3U.
I'nllke the versntllit Hio 1.. .
j the Chicago river Is not a fuvorlte for
""'uura' J-!e -nicntgan has clearer
water and is more frequently chosen
by those who prefer tho water route
of exit from unhappy surroundings.
The river Is nothing more than a filthy
canal, a kind of sewer, affording sev
eral miles of dockage and wharfage,
but offering no poetic recreations and
holding out no Inducements to fisher
men. A committee from congress Is
about to Investigate the sluggish and
prosaic stream und report upon its
future possibilities.
The black canal which floats Chi
cago's lake commerce, seems to have
a strange fascination for visitors from
other cities and countries. They like
to make Jokes nnd epigrams about It.
Its fame as a navigable stream has ex
tended far beyond Its deserts. Foreign
tourists come here and look nt It with
a sense of disappointment, then go
away and write ubout Its lack of ro
mance and surfeit of smell. Mr.
Chauncey M. Depew, when he i-nmes" to
Chicago to make after-dinner speeches
very often says funny things about
this Inky river to point n moral or
ndorn a tale. Justice David J. Hrewor
of the United States Supreme court
made some humorous references to It
nnd Its permeating fragrance nt the
Lincoln anniversary banquet at the
Marquette club. The learned legal
gentleman used the river as a peg on
which to hang his Introductory words
and to put himself en rapport with his
audience. He salO:
"In Chicago the sense of smell Is
never disappointed. Germany mny
boast of her many-scented city of
Cologne, but as the proud dweller by
the stream which courses through your
midst sniffs the evening breeze, he chal
lenges the world for a larger variety
or a greater intensity of smell. And
with a prodigality of enormous wealth
and a charity tempered by wisdom, you
do not propose to appropriate all this
fragrance to yourselves, or to waste It
on the desert air. but to distribute It
freely among tho dwellers by the banks
of the Illinois and in the upper Miss
issippi Valley."
The last sentence, of course, referr
ed to the drainage cunal. When Lord
Coleridge, Chief Justice of Englnnd,
visited this city some years ago, the
tall buildings did not strlko him so for
cibly ns a curiosity as did tho compo
site bouquet of odors furnished by tho
river. "Wonderful! Marvellous!" ho
exclaimed, ns he held his Judicial nose,
nnd his comments were copied through
out Eutope. Apropos of tho Chicago
river, Bishop Potter of New York told
a well-known Lincoln story here tho
other day, In, which the killing of a
skunk played the lending part. The
river in absolutely devoid of pictures
que spots, although 010 wild scheme
recently proposed wat to fill It up and
turn It Into a winding boulevard.
POLICEMEN.
In this city there nre 2,000 patrolmen,
who In 1807 made 86,000 arrests. Prob
ably thj queerest thing about tho po
lice force, brought to light by recent
investigations, Is tho fnct thnt one of
these officers, named Murphy, with true
Dick Turpln dash nnd in full uniform
engaged In tho enterprise of holding
up citizens he was sworn nnd paid to
protect, nnd relieving them of their
money nnd Jewelry. Chief Klpley, tes
tifying before a legislative- Investigat
ing committee, raised a lnugh which
was echoed from New York to Snn
Krnnclsco by culling this pcrformnnro
nn "Indiscretion" on tho part ot his
subordinate. In quick retort the Chnlr
ninn of the committee said he called
It hlghwny robbery, nnd thnt he ofll
cer guilty of It ought to bo put In the
penitentiary. It was one of the bright
Ideas of this Chief or Police, that the
best way to "liven up things" nnd In
crease rentul values In n dull part of
the town wns to set the gambling ma
chinery In full motion, and skin every
sucker nnd countryman who could bo
caught In a trnp.
It Is .a general rule almost without
exception that a policeman who Is so
unlucky as to lose his Job In the de
partment cither embarks In the saloon
business or becomes a silent partner In
a gambling establishment. And yet,
when on duty, no pollcemnn or detec
tive Is ever able to discover any gamb
ling house In operation unless It Is In
accordance with the will of his super
iors, who know how to handle the wires
for all kinds of political deals. Every
now nnd then one rends of ex-pollce-inon
who have been arrested for hlgh
wny robbery. They hnve "lenrned tho
ropes," and they cnll It "ensy money"
when they get hold of a few dollars In
this manner. But of course there arc
good and bravo officers as well as bad
and dishonest ones,
DOCTOHS.
Doctors are very plentiful in Chicago,
although to one who reads official
statements from time to time that the
health of this city is better than that
of any other of equal population, It Is a
mystery where all the medical men get
their clientele. Tiy a recent canvass it
Is shown that the city has 0,200 physi
cians, or one for every 400 or 1500 per
sons. Some find It very hard to get any
practice: others do not succeed at all.
There nre single tall buildings in the
central district In which 200 or 300 doe
trrs have their offices. In order to
create an Impression that they have
many pntlents it is no uncommon trick
for certain doctors to hire sickly look
ing men nnd women to sit around In
their reception rooms by the hour, as
It waiting for professional consultation
and treatment. Thcce hirelings nre
professicnally known ns "horses," and
in some cases they serve several ambi
tious physicians In one day and make
quit" a Kood thing of It. This Is the
modernized and city version of the old
trick resorted to by country doctors,
who wruld order out their horse and
saddlebags, nnd ride furiously out of
town an back again In response to an
Imaginary summons. The lawyers
have no such ruse to advance their In
terests, yet they have tricks of tbelr
own. Hv the latest count there nre
4,ir.() lawyers, and It Is snfe to say the
bulk of the business Is done by fewer
than ."00 of them that Is to say, the
bulk of the, really profitable and do
slrable business.
OTHER FEATURES.
There nre scores of other peculiar
ities about this modern Babel with Its
confusion of tongues. The typical
western cowlioy en 11 be seen here In nil
his long hair and glory. He floats In
with train loads of live stock to the
Tnlon Stock yards nnd is usually well
supplied with "hardware" and cash
for a roaring tlnje. Stock shippers nre
a favorite mark of the confidence men,
for they are as a rule quick to bite at
a tempting bait and 'ave the ready
cash to make things Interesting.
A crowd of 1,000 persons will gather
as If by magic In the busiest streets
and cause a protracted blockade by
standing nnd watching the process of
hoisting a big Iron safe Into a building
by means of block and tnckle. It Is
all because of the possibility of the
rope breaking and the sufe falling.
These natives will impede traffic and
pedestrians in the same way to watch
a driver loosen the harness of a horse
that has slipped and fallen. "When a
man falls In a fit or a woman In a
faint the crowd nlways becomes so
dense nnd persistent that a big squad
of police must be called to scatter It
before the distressed can be relieved.
The street "barkers" or pullers-ln,
long confined to the old clo' and pawn
shop district on the "levee," are now
encroaching upon the more respectable
retail shopping centres in State street
and Wabash avenue. Both men and
women "barkers" are employed by
some establishment!? that try to make

IN CONCLUSION.
One distinctive feature here that
ovr.ry stranger la sure to unto Is the
habit ot suburbanites who ride Into
the city In tho early morning trains;
with' ono nccord they rise from their
seats while tho .train In yet half a mile
from Its last slop In the downtown
station. They stnnd and surge and
struggle toward the doors until the
enrs como to a standstill, then fight
fjr precedence in getting out. It Is
true that a thoroughbred Chlcagoan
will rush Into a restaurant nt noon and
Bwnllow a doughnut or piece of p?o
nnd a cup of coffee, while n New York
er would still bo thinking ubout what
ho was going to order for his luncheon.
Associate Junticc Brewer snys, thanks
to the capacity of the Chicago divorce
courts1, n Chicago man may have oven
a thousand wives, like Solomon In all
Ills glory, provided ho will take them
consecutively and not contemporane
ously. Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller, him
self a Chlcagoan by adoption, is cred
ited with' having said exultlngly that
Chicago, the grent Cosmopolls, "has
within Its llmlts'moro Poles than nny
city in Poland, more Bohemians than
nny city In Bohemia, more Germans
thnn any city In Germany, save Berlin,
more Irish than any city In Ireland
except Dublin, more Italians than any
city in Italy, save Naples nnd Borne."
Associate Justice Brewer ventured to
udd as a suitable climax: "And doubt
less moro saints nnd sinners than nny
places In the universe, save heaven and
hell." The chief Justice promptly ad
mitted the chnrge nr. to the saints, but
evidently thought that New York
might bo n successful rival In the mat
ter of sinners.

Dilliculics About the (oldnu Anni
versary of Austria's Hitler.
From the Sun,
On Dec 2, 184S, Francis Joseph, the
present Emperor of Austria, King of
Hungary, nnd King of Bohemia,
though ho has never been crowned as
such, succeeded Ferdinand IV., who
nbdlcated, and his coronation took
place In Vienna. On Dec. 2. 1S98, there
will be celebrated In Vienna and prob
ably In Budapest as well, though Fran
cis Joseph was not crowned King of
Hungary until June S, 18G7, thirty years
ago, the fiftieth anniversary of the cor
onation of the Austrian monarch, and
nlready, notwithstanding the condition
of affairs that prevails In the empire,
elaborate preparations are being made
for tho event,
Austrian monarchs with a record of
fifty years upon the throne nre rare in
history. Indeed, there has been only
one other such since the founder of the
house of Hapsburg, Rudolph I,, ascend
ed what was then the throne of Aus
tria and of Germany as well In 1278,
more than six centuries ago. Rudolph
of Hapsburg reigned only thirteen
years, and the one Austrian or Austro
German monnrch In the long line be
tween Rudolph and Francis Joseph who
ruled for more than fifty vears was
Frederick IV. He was known as the
Pacific (possibly tho attribute of placid
ity accounted for his long reign), and
ascended the throne In 1433 and retain
ed it until 1403. The condition of affairs
In Austro-Hungary nt present Is not
propitious for a very hearty celebra
tion of any political anniversary com
memorative of the events of fifty years
ago. These were somewhat exciting.
An Insurrection In Vienna began on
March 1.1. An Insurrection against the
power of Austria among the Italian
speaking subjects of the Emperor be
gnn one week later; an uprising against
tho Emperor began one week later; an
uprising against tho Emperor caused
his flight to tho Tyrol in May; an in
surrection nmong the Bohemians
against the power of the Emperor of
Austria began In June, In the city of
Prague, and In the autumn of the same
year the Hungarian rebellion ngalnst
the power of the Vienna Government,
nnd the estnbllshmcnt of the Hungar
ian national Government under Kos
suth took place In September. It would
seem to be evident enough from all this
thnt in the present excited state of
nffnlrs In tho Austrian Empire the
proposition to have a golden nnnlver

lobby of th2 Ebbltt und stopped In
front ot tho newsstand. He was ubout
to pick up 1 newspaper when a llttlu
old man with gray, shaggy Bun-.sldcrs
got up from his seat In one corner of
th' lobby nnd walked over to hlin.
"Isn't this General James R.
O'J'elrne?" the little mnn nskeJ.
"I nm General O'Bolrne, sir," was
his reply, "and who ure you, may I
nskv"
"Do von remember Mejor Bell, of
New York"-"
"Do I remember him? Well, I have
cnuse to retncmboi him. He snved my
lite once."
"Well, I am that person." s.ild the
little mnn.
Tenrii came into the eves ot both as
they uraspetl each other's hands and
adjourned to a convenient seat to tulk
over old tin-i'S.
At the 1attle of Chancellorsvllle
O'Helrne, wIiVj was tben colonel of the
Thirty-seventh New York regiment,
was shot through the breasit by a bul
let. It made- a hole clear through one
lung. Bell, who had been In the samo
regiment, called to his assistance ono
ot his comrades, and they carried hlin
off the field -of battle.
O'Belrne wits sent to Iris home In New
York.nnd It w.is supposed that lie could
not live long. But under ,700! nursing
ho recovered find went back Into tho
Union service again. At the time of
President. Lincoln's senond Inaugura
tion he was IProvost Marshal In the
District of Columbia.
During the ceremonies on the cast
side of the ca,pltol, Bell, who was In
WnshlngVm on a leave of absence, de
tected a pickpocket pursuing his work
In the crowtl. Ho called the attention
of a policeman to the mnn. The police
man arrested the pickpocket und took
Bell along for a witness.
The hearing' was delayed for several
days, and In the meantime B-jll'n leave
of absence expired. When he present
ed the outlawed ticket nt the steamer
wharf he was placed under arrest for
having disobeyed tho order. Bell tried
to explain, but the rul-53 were fixed und
relentless.
The case was brousht to the atten
tion of General O'Belrne as provost
marshal, und soon 113 he saw the
nanui, he had Bell brought before hlin.
"General, I wUh, you would let me iro,
as I am anxious, o join my r?j,'iment,"
said Bell.
"You will bo dealt with as u man
should be who has dnred to disobey
the Injunction of his commander,"
O'Belrne replied sternly.
He then Issued a new order extend
ing Bell's leave of absence two weeks
and nccompanled It with a command
that ho appear at bis home In this
city. Bell visited .the man whose life
he had saved, spent a week, and later
Joined his regiment.
Her Gifts.
High grace, the dower of queens; nnd
therewithal
Some wood-born wonder's sweet sim
plicity; A glance like water brimming with the
sky
Or hyaclnth-Ilght where forest shadows
fall;
Such thrilling pallor of cheek as doth en
thrall The heart; a mouth whose passionate
forms Imply
All music and all silence held thereby;
Deep golden locks, her sccrcign coronal;
A round reared neck, meet column ot
Love's shrine
To cling to when tho heart takes sanc
tuary; Hands which forever nt Love's bidding
be,
And Boft-stlrred feet still answering to
his sign;
These ure her gifts, ns tonguo may tell
them o'er.
Brcutho low her name, my soul, for that
means more.
