CHICAGO, April 2S-Ignatius Don
nelly's long expected book will be pub
li-bld simultaneously in England and
America ON May J. It's title is The
Great Cryplogram; Francis Bacon's Ci-
phcr in the so-called Shakespeare Plays.
The secret of the cipher has hereto
fore been guarded with the utmost care,
but proof sheets of the book were sub
miited TO Professor Elias Colbert, the
astronomer, who, AT the solicitation of
the editor of Chicago newspaper, be
gan p thorough investigation OF the
cipher several months ago On March
lO Professor Colbert had prolonged in
icfgicW with Mr. D0Hnelly, and, as a re-
suit. wrote the following to the editor
81 am obliged to endorse the claim
made by Donnelly that he has found a
cipher in some of the plays. IL can be
intcllieently traced by the aid of eXpla-
nations given by him, some Of which are
only limited at in the book do not say
nor does he claim, that he has discovered
the complete cipher, and think it is
quite probable that some Of the readings
be gives will bear modification in the
light Of subsequent knowledge. But the
cipher is there a. claimed, and he has
done enough to prove its existence to my
satisfaction"

They are poor In tradition. The men cut

braided and the hair on the back Of the

which are held in place by glue placed at
regular intervals. To give them the sp-
pearance Of very long hair. Of which they
are extremely proud, that which has been

Names of Western Rivers.

1t is pity our noblest streams cannot
be made the monuments of noble achieve
ments in their names, instead of bearing
such trivial titles as Grand and Green,
Red and Blue, North Fork and South Fork.
Even when they have a good name it is
forgotten or perverted, as has happened
to the Rio Bravo del Norte. This is done
in many cases deliberately, though the
speakers know better. Tomichi is gener-
ally called Tomeetch; Ouray (Ooray) be-
comes Youray. It is willful, too, and
characteristic of the pig headed ignorance
and conceit which crops out so Extensively
in all frontier society. had man tell
me the other day that he mispronounced
Spanish and Indian names purposely, be-
cause he hated greasers and redskins. and
thought it shame that anything should
be named after them or any memento be
kept of their former presence. He talked

sIi1lionaires of tho Metropolis.

Another source of millionaires in the
metropolis is their emigration from the
country. Great cities always draw from
smaller ones. Men who have gained a
fortune elsewhere like to display it, if not
to enjoy it. in the capital, where they
find q more favorable environment for
business as well as pleasure. They are
anxious. often. to hide their humble an
tecedents in its indifference, hustle. dis
traction and glitter. They fancy that its
vastness and splendor are consonant with
their own. Comparatively few af1uent New

and thoroughly comfortable in their island
home. Whatever objections may be urged
against the city, it Is generally agreed to
be a good place for the rich. 1t has been
called center Of paupers and million

perhaps, people in moderate or independ-
