CHICAGO, Ills, May 19.-The dealt
Of a poor bricklayer does not caus,
much comment from the city press
and the finding of stills in the darl
Chicago River is a matter so frequent
that it has become of little moment
Yet a splash and q death is always sac
to a few and whenever a dull thud i.
heard, and the cold waters gather about
another poor soul ushered into eternity
the circumstance, at least in oui
hearts, makes a feeling of sadness.
As the tug Martin Green was pass
ing Clark Street bridge at 10 O'Clock
Saturday night one Of the officers saw 8
man walk off the sidewalk into the
river. He was taken out as soon as
possible, but life was extinct. In his
, pockets was fonnd an old wallet con.
tanning a few pennies and papers which
gave his name.
Joseph Jockel was ''only' q lahorel
being unfortunate and unknown, but
some one in the world may care for
him, and if in this busy and t~houghtless
city of ours ''some one" had only seen
and pitied him it might have been
better.
An important move has been made
here in the direction of art. A number
of prominent citizens held a meeting
at the Palmer House for the purpose
of forming an organization to establish
a new and permanent Art Institution
in Chicago.
Our present Academy of Design is
encountered with old debts, and no one
seeming particularly anxious to pay
them a new institution is proposed
which will be of as much value as the
old, but on an independent basis. If
the association ia formed the fine art
schools at the Academy will be transfer
red Immediately.
Tomorrow night begins a weeks sea-
son ut Nc Vicker's of Aldrich's
Emusic and Poetry of War Days" The
affair IS for the benefit of the Chicago
Orphan Asylum. Tie arrangements
for the performance are very complete
and comprehensive and the sale of
tickets show that the house will be
packed nightly. In view of this there
has been a special assignment of police
officers to keep the passage way clear,
and to prevent any disturbances which
such a crowd might occasion.
Twenty companies of the Chicago
militia will participate in the enter
tainment and some out of town COM
panies will also be present. The best
dramatic talent in the country has been
drawn upon, and the ample accommod-
ations of McVickers will be put to the
test to furnish quarters for the army of
soldiers, brass bands, choruses, solo
singers, elocutionists, which have been
engaged for the entertainment.
F~orepaugh's great show" has ar
rived and is in full blast on the Lake
Front. His grand Noacian %menagerie
and mammoth aggregation were out in
procession, and our small boys are
nearly wild.
The latest is the sl.ooting-gallery
mania. Tie city is literally filled with
these galleries, and their census al
ready rivals the number of saloons. In
one of the most prominent of these
last evening a young man was shot and
MORALLY wounded by the proprietor.
Accidents of this kind have been long
anticipated, but only yesterday came
to hand.
Last week q fire on the north side
rendered nearly thirty poor families
destitute and homeless. F. c.
