CHANGED FROM MAY TO NOVEMBER.

RESPONSES TO TOAsTs BY Mr.. EvAITs, SENATOR
HAwLEY MONsIGyOR CAPEL AND OTHERS.
A brilliant company of merchants and their guests
sat down to six long tables that groaned beneath
weight of plants and flowers and, later on, OF tooth
some edibles, in Delmonic - banquet-roOm last
night. Course after course and wine after wine
changed by the walters at the one-hundred-
and-sxteenth anniversary dinner of the Chamber
of Commerce. but the royal spirit of friendship held
sway throughout all. The room was richly
draped with American flags and around the cor
nces were hung small flags of many nations.
Bernstein's band, in an acove almost smothered
with ferns and flowers plagued the diners with
the music of popular operas which they were almost
more ready to discuss than the dinner.
At the table of hO:.or were gathered merchants,
ministers and politicians whose nam's are almost
household words throughout the land. They
looked down upon as large an assembly OF substan-
tia men as any business organization ever got TO-
gether on a jovial OCCASION When the c0nee
and cigars had been brought to the tables every ono
settled himself to enjoy feast Of reason. and
more Intelligent or discriminating audience nas

Hotel Guests on the Rampage.

The Palmer House, Of Chicago, is in
state of eruption. A few days ago,
tho manager sent n note to each of the
200 guests of the house requesting them
to vacate their rooms one week In June
and another in July, during the two
national political conventions. Then
ensued deep lamentation among the
regular boarders, many OF whom had
resided ut this caravansary for years.
Protests were numerous, secret indigna.
ton meetings were held, Potter Palmer
was appealed to, and recourse had to
various expedients with view of chang
ing the order of the manager, but oil
in vain. All the regular boarders who
failed to acquiesce in the programme
were notified that their rates of board
were forthwith raised 100 per cent.
This was tho last straw, and tho regular
guests have resolved to quit the house
in body on the last day of May. 1t is
arranged that at certain hour OIL that
day 200 carriages will form in line in
front of the Palmer House, and every
regular boarder will file out, and the
grand procession will move through the
principal streets, followed by long line
of express wagons loaded with the bag
gage. The exodus being complete, the
evicted people will then scatter to their
new homes.

WITH n CHILD'S EYES

Isaw them pass along the thoroughfare,
blind old man with long hair, snowy white
And at his side little maiden fair,
With golden locks and large eyes, blue ant
bright.
The old man listened TO the prattling child,
Who told OF sights that filed her with sur.
prise;
He turned his head this way and that, and
smiled
ASH he saw them with the Inaiden's eyes.
Bhe told him Of the wonders she could seo
In the store windows where, in bright array,
Beautiful dolls, n fairy company,
Gazed forth ON all who passed along the way.
She told how horses, prancng through the
streets,
The gorgeous equipages drew along,
From which, reclining on the cushioned seats,
Fair women looked upon the passing tLropg.
And then theyturned their steps into park,
And sat upon bench beneath the trees;
The old man, though the world to him was dark,
Heard the birds sing, the leaves stir in tho
breeze.
He heard the waters Of the fountain fall,
And with the little maiden's eyes could sec
The green grass and the beds Of flowers, the tall
Trees and the children sporting mcrrily.
The Joy Of all the world he seemed to share,
And lose in others happiness the sense
or his affection, for he had 10 air
or sadness or Of suffering intense.
Looking upon his patient, smiling face,
l said, "lhc blind who pass beneath tho rod,
Cropping in darkness, seem to find grace
That others miss, aud 80 come nearer God

WINNING APpLAUsE.-Fannie Horton.
a once celebrated actress, won her first
applause in somewhat singular manner.
During her performance in particular
scene she was loudly Kissed, when, adj
vancing to the footlights, she asked !:
(Which do you dislike-my playing or
my person ?" 1.-THE playing, the play
ing i was the answer from all parts Of
the house. "Well, she returned, "that
consoles me; for my playing may be bet
tered, but my person ] cannot alter I"
The audience were no struck with the
ingenuity of this retort that they i'm
mediately npplauded as loudly Ms they
had the moment before condemned her;
and from that night she improved in her
acting, and soon became favorite with
the public. -Chambcrss Journal
