POOR CHILDREN'S RETREAT.
BenevoIence of Wealthy Chicagoans Well
Placed.

|
Placed.
LAKE GENEVA, Wis, April 27.-Last
summer several Chicago ladies OF wealth
and Ed. Ayre perceived that it would be
a capital plan to raise funds and erect
structure and call it the Fresh Air Build
ing; the object to be to have a suitable
place to which poor children of the great
city could be brought and allowed to re-
main for week or two to enjoy country
life. Fresh Air Fund VAS accordingly
raised, and work has already been com
menced. The foundation is laid, and the
building Is TO be completed by June 1.
The house will accommodate about 80
children at a time. It is situated on the
northwest shore of the lake: about mid
way between the Y. NJ. c. A. Camp and
Forest Glen Park.
A curious incident in Brooklyn var
iety theatre is cited by an observer to
prove decline in American patriotism.
One of the performers was a woman who
posed in mid-air, first in one costume and
then in another. Her appearance as
cotch Highlander drew plenty of ap-
plause, but when she appeared as Erin,
the house fairly went wild. There was an
outburst of enthusiasm when she posed es
Germania. but when she exhibited herself
arrayed N national colors, as Columbia
not single expression of approval came
from the crowded house. The audience
gezed in cold curiosity. It was evident
that the theatre was supported by the
foreign Americans and could hardly be
regarded as fair test of American pat
riotism.

An unkind story, even If true, was told me
while was in England, Of young lady who
married suffering man.
The young man was undoubtedly a slut
terer of the most positive order, for l have
heard him go through paroxysms to get out
a simple Good morningi" The lady whom
he subsequently married was of an eminently
practical turn of mind. No maiden mOdesty
or bashfnlness cloyed her methods, She
spoke to the point, and never left a thought
unexpressed If she deemed it pertinent
After he had called upon her some three or
four times she decided that it was about time
for her to know his intentions. So the next
time he called, after they had seated them
selves as usual on the sofa, she said quietly
but firmly "Mr. Smith, 1 am very much
iattered by the interest you have taken in
me, and the flowers ysu have just given me
are very pretty but feel that shall not be
doing my duty if delay any longer asking
you what your intentions are. Whittier do
these attentions and presents lead?"
Young Mr.. Smith rose to his feet aud a
blush rose to his cheek. He essayed to speak
For moment his lips and tongue seemed
paralyzed: Then he managed to get out M
noifurther. The might have stood for any
number of words, but Miss Smith justfably
perhaps, interpreted 1t to stand for darling
and the youths acute embarrassment to a
modest confusion in making formal pro-
posal.
Anyway, she took Mr.. Smith by the hand
and, looking into his eyes, exclaimed: "Mr.
Smith, l appreciate your embarrassment, but
l understand what you wish to say. You
may speak to papa, and If he approves, so
do ,"
They were married few months later, but

rimOny of his own free will or against it.

chairman ouay,s opinion.

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-Chairman Quay, at
the Republican headquarters, was asked, to-
day, to give at least one reason for his con-
fidence in Harrison's election.
''You want peculiar reason, / suppose" /"
Mr.. Quay replied, land not one OF many that
are familiar. Well, here is a point: Four
years ago today, tide was setting in that
ioated Cleveland into the White House. Up
to the 1st of October in that year, there
seemed a certainty that Blaine would be
elected. But during that month there was a
singular, almost phenomenal, series Of hap
penings that defeated our candidates. With
out any good reason for expecting repetl-
tion of this unpleasant experience, 1t is
true that some of the gentlemen in our COM
fears have proved groundless. We are two
thirds through the month and not the small
est setback for Harrison and Morton has
been encountered. On the contrary. our
strength is growing steadily and largely, and
that, too,in just the States where we want it.
There is no doubt at all about it. We are
getting through October, this time, without
disaster.
The situation in the three doubtful
Eastern States, as seen today through care
fully impartial eyes, makes New York con-
clusively secured to Harrison and Morton,
and disccrns no indications of defeat for
them in Connecticut. The doctrine Of pro-
lection to American industries has won its
way in these states.
Illegal Registration In New Jersey.
