sums are tie I up in Fair preparations, so
Hint bankers are conservative.
Ileportsfrom other cities show extenive

JOHN BULL LOCOMOTIVE AND TRAIN.
The fnmons John Bull engine, with Its nntlque paeenger coaches, which have so long done duty as chicken houses, arrived In
Chicago cn Ssturdsy for the Uorld's Fair, alter an eventful trip from New York tit v, ovr the lennsvlvsnia lines. Thousands of
people congregated at the different stations to watch the old train pass, and at many points perfect nations were given.
, weeks ago it waa taken to the ahops near Jersey City, overhaulid and pieced in a condition lor the moat momentous trip
of its eventful existence, '
As the illustration show, the engine preaetite estrange contrast to tbe magnificent locomotives of the present dsy. While the
essential principles of locomotion by steam i tbe same in tbe old and new. tbe mecbumsni is entirdy different. One of the most nota
ble features oj the John Bull is the pilot, commonly known as the cow-catcher. As originally constructed in F.ngland there was no
pilot attached, but when tne engine was placed In service on tbe Camden it Am boy toad it was'fouid absolutely necessary to provide
pilot in order to assist the machine in taking curve.
Mr. Stevens set himself the task of planning one, and although It was a crude and awkward stTuir, It served the purpose. The
first pilot was a frame one made of oak, eight by four leet, pinned together at the corners. Fnder the forward end were a pair of
wheels an Inches in diameter, while the other end was fastened to on extension of ino axle outside or the forwardslrivlng-wheels.es it
was found that a play cf about one inch on each side of the pedestal of the front wheels waa neeessirv in order to get around the curves.
Kobert L. Kievens. the founder of tbe Camden A Amboy railroad, was responsible lor the importation of the engine, as he ordered
It from Stevenson, the Knglish inventor. It was completed in May, 1KU. and arrived In America three months later. Isaac Diipps, a
young mechanic, made the lirst experimental trip, and after many trials considerable change was made in the machinery. Wood was
originally used for fuel.

Hardly less uniipie than the locomotive Itself aro the passenger coaches on the historic train. Some r. years ago a farmer neat
South AmlH.y bought one of the discarded coaches of the old f'umden and Amliy railroad. He removed it from its trucks and tdant
ing it on posts in the ground, converted it into a chicken coop. It served iu this cupacby until a few months ngo. when a ' represent

HOME RULE VICTORY
IT PASSES SECOND READING.
Mr. Balfour and Mr. Gladstone Made
the Closing Hpeeches. Oreat
Enthusiasm.
The members of the house of commons
rushed to their seats on Friday for the final
encounter over the second reading of the
Irish home-rule hill. Prime Minister tilod
stone, ns soon ns he arrived, was presented
with a lieaiitifu! bouquet of flowers sent from
Ireland and i;ccompnied by the inscription
"All blessings and power to tbe friend of
K)or und distressed Ireland. May tiod pros
per you."
I'pon the opening of business in the
house Win. O'Hrien (Nationalist!, member
from Cork city, asked If Mr. (Jludstone had
n-ceived resolution udopted and signed by
the mayor and ulderman of Cork approving
the establishment of uu Irish parliumtnt in
Dublin.
Mr. VViadstobeif-v'.',!-!'.: "V. 'i Vir.ti Tnr.tV
pleasure in receiving the lesolution. all tbe
more as I am informed that it expresses the
uniform views ol all corporate bodies in
Ireland."
Mr. T. W. liusNcll. the Liberal me.nber
who opposes home rule for Ireland and who
represent the south division of Tyrone,
asked if Mr. tibid-lone knew that half the
members of the municipal council of Cork
were absent when the resolution was udopt
ed. '
Mr. OT.rien sprang to dis feet ani with
condilcraldi. vehemence said: "l liut is no: a
lar-t."
Mr. tilndstone ca'mly replic 1 to Mr. I'us
sell s question: "The resolution expre-s.-s
the feeling of n gnat major Iv of the Irish
niunicipni coiim lis," and added that the
home-rule bill was certain to pass its second
reading to-night mid that it won d go to the.
Coiiinutti n May 4. This statement was
received with cheers by the supporters of
the measure.
Sir Henry James, Liberal 1'iiioiiist, spoke
in opposition to the bill during most of the
se-s mi. Farly in the evening the debate
w as monopolized bv minor members. At
o o'clock Mr. tilud-totie- entered hurriodly
and was greeted Willi cheers. The members
began to return rapidly. At lo .to.Mr. Hal
lour was received with cheers. All the mem
bers had taken their places and the douse
waited cxnectaiitly for tbe heavy guns of
the final debate on the second reading.
Mr. I In Hour rose shortly before II o'clock
He made a long, eloquent and impassioned
speech :n opposition, closing vitli these
words amid cneers;
"If you commit this great political crime
you make yourselves responsible for an irrc
pairulne national di-aster and all hoss ot u
I eaccful and united Ireland will vanish
forever."
Mr. liliidstone rose and the cheering was
rcieated, but not by the same throats. Like
Mr. Halfoiir he was iu splemiid form. His
voice was clearer and fuller than before
during the se-sioii and his movements have
evidence of unusual energy und earnestness
He said:
"You cannot be surprised that we have
undertaken the solution of thin great
question, and. as on the one hand it is not
tue least ot the arduoue ell oris of t lie Liberal
party, so, on the other hand, it will have its
piacL' iu history uye, nnd in t remote but
early history us not the ie ist durable,
fruit f ul und blessed among its iiccnmplished
lie's.''
llefore the cheering ceased (ieorge Hart
ley, Conservative for North Islington, rose
to continue the debate. Mr. Morley, chief
si-crctary lor Ireland, moved Ihe closure and
it wus adopted. Then the members divided
Hint soon Pillowed lit announcement that
the bill had passed the second read ug by a
vote of 1U7 to 3ol, which was the signal for
more cheers and hat waving. There wus
:ino:her demonstration when Mr. tdadstone
left the house. Crowds had gathered o'lt
side the bui'ding and as the prune miliistei
rode away he was followed 'by their cheers.
The division was tueu on strict party
lines. Kvery Nationalist member voted
with the majority. The d ssalent Liberals,
to a man. went with the oppiwition. The
prince of Wuu-s remained until the result of
the division wus announced

Here Is tde remarkable document :
To All Whom It May Concern :
We've never in Iincasler had an Inaugural,
f-o the first one we have is given in doggerel.
1 huve studied und pondered and thought
'twould be nice
To give tbe suloonists a little advice.
It is cheaper than fines, and, 1 trust, more
eflective
And as to my olllce you know It's elect i ye
o I hope in the future you'll close up your
doors.
The first time it's my fault, the next time
its yours
That you'opencd on Sunday, or after the
hour
Allowed by the Council I'll apply all tbe
powers
Contained in tde State or municipal code
And 'twill be your own fault if you're sent
o'er the road.
I believe to start eurly; be open and frank,
t:o I'll not be compelled to give you a vank
That will quite incommode you in person
and purse.
And I know after one dose that you'll set
no worse.
I)on't lool with, tbe "cops"1 or entice Viuui
to drink,
r from any duty to skirmish or shrink.
I'm a Iriend tn suloonists, one, each and all.
And for my sake and yours don't one of you
tall
Into the belief that "Carp" will be easy.
For if you depart I'll make it unite breezy
lloth in vour neighborhood and that of the
jail.
Now
don't you presume that I ever will
lltlllil
Or throw up my hands, when once well in
line,
For I think to be right is both Just and
divine.
And it alter two years of nuiet and cur
You make up your minds to oust me fiotn
there
Tut shoulder to wheel, and woik with a
will
To quit me from olllce that I fail to fill,
I'on t think lor u moment that "Carp" is a
fool
Xou'll make a mistake if you brcuk o'er the
rule
A mistake it will be you will find to your
sorrow
When you settle up tbe morn of the morrow.
Here's another goud subject : I tnirik the
police
Need u little attention, instruction and
grease
To oil up their Joints and hasten their wnvs
ho ihev get iu their thirty instead of ten
days
Kvery month, and take care to let alone
booze
And try to dispense with tdeir sweet nigdtly
snooze.
For I'll be around I'm not dnrd to keep.
And no one call tell ut what hours I sleep.
I'll run the department, or "bust" up lite
ranch,
I'll have no lieutenants or "reference
brunch."
There is un old saving"u new broom sweeps

Put I give you my word that I say what I
mean
You "keep up your trace" and "hoe your

And I will assure you things smoothly will
go-
The closing bell will be rung to-night and
regularly hermfter at 11 o'clock staudurd

who do not interest tliemsclves in its ring

mer: The "World" has gathered the opinions
of the leadimr physicians of .New York and
the health officials on the probabilities of a
cholera epidemic this summer. On ths
whole a careful review of w hat tlieso medi
cal experts say lends to the conclusion that
a cholera epidemic is not probable. There is
an almost uiinni.nous belief that vr will
have some cases of cholera during the hot
months. The doctors, however, point out
very clearly iu the interviews which follow
the reason why these sporsdiccnse are not
likely to become eiddemic,"

The inelintitioii on the rnrt of the public

lustily emphatic contradiction of the state
incut that the redemption of any kind of

to maintain the public credit, to keep the
public fuitli nnd to pre-crve the parity be

While the law of 1KM forcing the pur
chase of n tlxed amount of silver every
