A Chicago Girl at Concord.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.


A young lady from the West Side
has lust returned from Boston. While
there her uncle, who is a reporter on
asporting paper, took her to the Sum-
mer School of Philosophy at Concord.
She heard some one read an essay on
the :sAbsoluteness of Absoluteism,"
and became infatuated with the doc
trine that was being taught there.
"Chawles," said she to her lover the
other evening Che is a clerk in a har-
ness store), ''do you realize that you
cannot differentiate the indissoluble
absouteness Of the absolute?"
NO. he replied, 'to tell you the
truth, / don't;" and as it was the first
time he had seen her since she had
got back, the suggestion struck him
with some surprise.
"Do you ever stop to inquire" she
began again, @into the inchoation or
the rudimentary incipience of the
rhapsodial coagmentation of your
thoughts of love?"
swell, not to speak of, he said.
'Then, is there one drop of blood
my your heart that pulsates for me? II
there is even one conceit, nooscopic
or psychological, that in the incogit-
ancy OF your dreams, or in the per-
qulsition of your waking hours, ab-
serbs thought of me, l beg that you
would eliminate any abtruse or equiv
ocal particles of distrust from the
profound and all-transpicuous abnor-
malty Of your love"
"Great heavens. Maria, have you
swallowed dictionary"
Mo, | have not,n she said, with a
eommiserating look; adon't you know
have been attending the School OF
Philosophy at Concord?"

regard to the rapid accumulation OF
wealth In America. He said Wander

much money for any one man to have,
and he says that things cannot 90 on

The Festival.

One of the most enjoyable occasions of
the season was the strawberry and ice
cream festival, given by the ladies of the
Ninth street NJ E. church last night in
the Tremann building, near the CONNER
cial hotel. There was large number of
people present and everybody seemed to
be enjoying themselves to their heart's
content. The singers of the church had
an organ present and enlivened the occa>
sion with some spirited and splendid
music. The receipts of the evening were
quite large, we are glad to learn.
Owing to the fact that the weather wa
bad last night, the ladies of this church
will hold another fustiyal In the same
building tonight Everybody is invited
to be preseut.

ANOTHER BOOM.
The C., B. & Q. Conductors TO Move
Their Families Here.

Notwithstanding the fact that its OPP
ponents used every means in their power
to keep the c., B. & Q. folks out of this
city, the road came in, and CAME in to
stay. Ever since the c., B. & O. manage.
ment has had charge of this branch it has
manipulated things to the advantage of
the city of Rock Island The manage
ment is in favor of doing this city
all the good it can. To this end they
built a fine round house, then determined
to have fine depot, and now the Mogels
OF the road has issued another order which
will benefit the city. All the conductors
of the %" conductors have been residing
in st. Louis. Their reason for this is
that their run" ends there, and thev are
given day or maybe two days clay Off
IN order to rest up. Not only
the conductors clay Off at St.
Louis, but the brakemen, the baggagemen,
the engineers and firemen. Now all this
is to be changed. Instead of laying off in
st. Louis, they will in the future lay off
in Rock Island This will necessltate the
removal of their families to this city. At
the present time the following conductors
are running on the ST. Louis branch: f.
III. DeGroot, j. c. Staunton, w. o. Willis.
A. H. Boil, A. F. Barber and Phil
OBrien. A number of the conductors
were in the city yesterday looking for
houses to live in. 1t will add to the pop.
ulation of this city number of good fam
lilies, and this is just what We want.
Agent Mack deserves a great deal of
thanks for his efforts to secure this boom
for the city, for it is boom that will be
very beneficial.

Base Ball

Our base ball boys went to Dubuque
this morning where they will play two
games. As Forrest was sick and unable
to go along, Gil Bowen was taken in his
place. The boys expect TO make money
in Dubuque. The encampment in there
and no doubt the crowd in attendance
will be large.
Brown, the third baseman, came to the
conclusion to light out yesterday. Brown
used to play with the St. Louis Brown
Reserves. That club disbanded and Brown
was secured by Manager Hagan for ten
days, after which period he was to sign
regularly with the home nine The ten
days expired yesterday but Brown would
not sign at all. The Stillwaters wanted
him, offered him better wages, and he
signed with them and will joiu that club
today. Brown will be black listed if
possible. and the Saltwater club fired out
of the Northwestern league.
There is stong talk of changing the base
| ball grounds to the old Star park. which
is nearer the city. If The change is made
it is thought larger crowd can be Sc
| cured to attend the games.

hour, and then as no one came out, he

was vacant. The boys all laughed, and
he skipped out.

Macauley's Opinion OF Himself.

Il have written" he wrote with great
candor to Macvey Napier, several
things on historical, political and moral
questions, of which, on the fullest re-
consideration, am not ashamed, but by
which should be willing to be esti-
mated. But | have never written a
page of criticism on poetry or the fine
arts which l would not burn if had the
power. leave it to yourself to make
the comparison. / am sure that on re-
Election you will agree with me. Haz-
lit used to say to himself: Il am moth
ing if not critical. The case with me
is directly the reverse. have strong
and acute enjoyment of great works OF
imagination; but l have never habit
uated myself to dissect them" Not
less sound was his estimate of his great
history A fortnight before its publica-
ton he wrote in his diary: The state
of my own mind is this: When | COM
pare my own work with what imagine
history ought to be | feel detected and
ashamed; but when | compare it with
some histories which have high repute

stage of the publication he writes: 81

spirits about it. On the whole. think
that itmust do. The only competition.
so far as perceive, it has to dread is
that of the two former volumes. Ger

agreeable" The following entry is
interesting: 81 looked through IS

of me, But am very unsafe model.

Ralligerant Famalas.

There was very interesting fight last
evening between two females in the lower
end of the city. Both the ladies are mar

was some dispute between them and they
had to resort to fight to settle it. One
of the ladies threw hatchet at the other,
and had the hatchet struck its mark, the
damage would have been great, but as it
didn't, no other damage was done other
than few scratches.
