poor little Julia came to grief on tho second

No doliht Chicago w'as AS wild 4 city during

WAS regular r;.g fair. Every house had its
decoration, from the $4itksl nse Of 'Tifnnys and
the clubs, to the poor waiter it.nSlon street,
who h11n:5 out the tails Of bis Arcss- coal FROM
his bedroom window, With Il white roset, like Il

peculiar until tho wind trcDt iu brtween uni

holiday look belonging; 10 The 1st Vi May. when

hangs out loor-lnat OR strip Of star-carpct
Indicative oil Hitting.
In connection with our manifestations Of
grief, tie aesloa o( tho theatrical t,.unagvrs was

forcby. The ubiquitous EauIin sprang out of !
the very earth with empty tar-bHrres, anu a |

Speaking Of the boy and the tar -tarrels I do ]
believe that If uuy one suddenly stood forth on
the street during row und called for u circular
saw and crocodiie's egg, Il boy would t1nrt
round the corner with under each arm. The
malliac twho WAS arrested that mounted Daly's
steps and began an incendiary haranguc just
intiMated that with Il few tar-barreIs the insult |

had just finished his sentence when empty tar

the ve5tibule by boys not higher than the bar
