ROCKFORD AND FREEPoRT

Are thriving Illinois cities. They make
watches at the first place, and it is situated
on both sides of the Rock river. q be-
lieve it is the same river that Beloit is stu

consult map.) The latter place is au un-
usually nice place in every respect, and Mr..
Donahoo, of the Journal, who used to set

at home. Then we board the O. & N. W.
and run over to Clinton, Iowa, and then 90

CHICAGO

Is nice around its edges, but its business
portions are rather too dirty to be compH
mented. The Chicago river which flows
through the heart of the city, is little better
than big open sewer, and during the hot
seasons the appearance Of that portion Of
the city is far from inviting. It's principal
business thoroughfares viz State, Clark,
Madison, and Randolph streets and Wabash
avenue are, however kept fairly clean.
Her public buildings and theatres are ele-
giant, and the latter are quite numerous.
OF course the city is full Of strange sights,
but nothing that would be particularly new
to write about. From Chicago went to

RACINE

Is still further up the lake shore, in the
State of Wisconsin, and is thriving
city of about $4,000 population. Her
harbor is always full of lumber vessels
which ply between that place and the
pine regions of Michigan. There are
also extensive wagon works and machine
shops at Racine, and she numbers among
her population large contingent Of
mechanics and artisans; and laboring men
make cities Speaking of Racine reminds
me that I am tOlerably lucky. When there

the opera house, and although finely fur

be a fire, somebody might get hurt. Last

no more. Another instance of good luck

In my paper on the Chinese forgot to
give a description of a Chinese theatre. A
friend and I visited one in Portland, Ore
gon, and we can assure you that the time
was not wasted. The stage was without
scenery Of any description, and the orches-
ira, consisting Of seven or eight musicians,
sat in the center to the rear Of tho actors.

into the dressing rooms, A Chinaman
dressed in long spangled robes with face

RIVER RIGHTS.

The Waillclc river in the district
of EVA has heretofore been an unob-
structcd passage and q right-of-way.
Many small vessels ran up and down
the river with freight, while natives
in canoes frequently went there to
fish. No one ever thought the river
would be tabooed to everybody but
one man, but such is the case.
Several small crafts have already
been prevented from entering the
river, and the injured parties ask
what right has any body to obstruct
the entrance of n river that has been
free run for more than Is years.
Ii is said that the land embracing the
stream belongs to the Poor estate,
and the river has been tabooed to
give the sole monopoly of the stream
to Mr.. f. Wundenburg. Mr.. Wun-
denburg says that Mr.. Henry Poor
has leased the stream for ten years
for the purpose of propagating fish.
He had spent about thousand dol
lars in importing salmon trout, and
the spawn was doingwell until the
Chinese rice growers damned this
river, drove their cattle through the
stream and started duck farm of
thousand ducks. Mr.. Poor then for
babe the use of the stream to any
body, and has begun suit for dam
ages against the Chinese on the
banks of Waikele stream. Mr.. Wun-
denburg, hearing that the stream
was blockaded, went to Mr.. Poor
yesterday to see about it, when the
latter gentleman said he was utterly
disgusted with his fish venture and
would willingly transfer the lease to
MIR. Wundenburg. Whereupon the
offer was accepted and the papers
are being drawn up as required by
law. Mr.. Wundenburg says that if
he can be benefited by allowing none
but his vessels to enter the stream
you can rest assured that no other
vessels shall enter.

A CENTRAL AMERICAN ALLIANCE.

The New York World, Nov. 18th,
says =" Although the Tripartite
Convention between San Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras was signed
over month ago, copy has not
been in possession of the Consul of
either republic here until yesterday,
when prominent Salvadorian Gene
raj just arrived gave them the con-
tents. He reports that it is an cx-
traordinary document, which is
likely to agitate the people of those
countries. Itprovides for an alliance,
offensive and defensive, and its
provisions seek to regulate the in
ternal affairs of the three countries.
In his opinion it will greatly retard
the scheme of confederation pro-
posed for the three republics named,
also of Costa RIGA and Nicaragua.
Among other things, it provides for
a uniform law regulating civil mar
riages, and provides that in the
event of internal disturbances in
any one of the three countries, the
troops of the other two are to be
brought in to quell them. Should
any attempt be made TO carry this
out, it could not fail, it is said, to
create more trouble, if not kindle
revolution. The alliance has yet to
be ratified by an Assembly of each
republic"

BLEM = DEDICATION OF THE New
BUILDING.

The dedication of the new build
ing erected for the purposes Of the
Chinese Y. NJ. G. A. took place last
evening with exercises appropriate
to the occasion. The building stands
on the lot in the rear of the Chinese
Church, corner of Fort and Bere-
tania streets, and is reached by
wide alley from Beretania. The APP
proach to the building was lit up by
strings of lanterns thrown over the
alley at intervals, and by several
big Chinese illuminators hung about
the arched gateway at the street.
Lanterns of all colors, shapes and
dimensions lit up the areas in the
front and rear as well as the rooms,
halls and corridors within. The
general audience room is in the
upper fiat, and was filled with chairs
to its full capacity and there were
very few chairs unoccupied. The
platform and walls were deliberately
decorated with bouquets, fan palms,
ferns, male, and other Hawaiian
flowers and plants. All the decora-
tons were the handiwork of Chi
nese volunteers, and the artistic
genius of the race showed itself with
very fine effect. The audience num-
bered probably about 300 persons,
and consisted of Chinese, Hawaiian,
American and English friends of the
institution. Mr.. Goo Kim, Presi-
dent of the association, Mr.. To
Teng U, preacher in the Chinese
church and teacher in the Chinese
school, and Rev. c. M. Hyde, DID.
were on the platform with Mr.. F..
w. Damon who conducted the pro-
ceedings. The boys of the Chinese
school were present wearing the star
and ribbon of their "order." Some
are, as yet, very fragmentary speci-
mems of humanity, but even the
smallest midgets among them con-
Quoted themselves with decorum
that seemed to indicate consciousness
of an event of great national import
ance being about to take place.
The boys share of the programme
was to opon the proceedings by pro-
nouncing the Lords Prayer together
in Chinese. The oath Psalm was
read by Mr.. Damon, in English ant
by Mr.. To Teng q in Chinese. Foul
verses of a hymn were sung stimuli
taneously in English, Chinese ano
Hawaiian, Mr.. Damon giving thu
piano accompaniment. Mr.. Damol
next read paper on the origin
aims and present position of the Chi
ncse Y. M. c. A., and was FOLLOWED
by Mr.. Goo Kim giving simila
account in Chinese. Next came tw'
verses of Coronation sung in tn
three languages of the audience
with piano accompaniment. Th
formal dedication of the building wa
then read by DR.. Hyde in Englis
and Mr.. Teng L in Chinese. Fo

EVOLUTION or THE MANATEE.

A rare specimen of the Manatee,
or sea COW, was received at Cor
nell University, Ithaca, New York,
recently, from South America. Lee
turing upon it, DR.. Wilder said:
''The Manatee is one of the cases in
which evolution has produced just
the opposite of its usual effect. The
Manatec is an animal belonging to n
family that has evidently seen bet
ter days. | predict that not many
years hence there will be found
more and more conclusive evidences
that the forms from which Manatee
and its relatives have been descended
had arms and legs and q very much
smaller tail. The hind legs have
been lost in the process of evolu-
ton, the front legs have been de-
graded into fins, and the tail has be-
come one for swimming instead of
for tapping from side to side. The
Manatee will be dissected with n
view to demonstrate the bearing of
its whole structure upon the ques-
ton of retrograde mctamorphosis.'
