The Burlington does not glory in the
success achieved over large body of
intelligent men, who were misled by a
few so-called chiefs. 1t was mistaken
idea, hastily conceived and as hastily
carried into execution, that by sacri-
ficing their individual predictions they
could, unitedly, compel a gigantic cor
poration to accede to their unjust de-
mands. How long would it have been
before other and further demands
would have been made upon the man
agement? These men reckoned with
out their host. They argued that the
Burlington could not fill their places,
but this has been done, and the service
restored to its former excellence. The
public need have no misgivings as to
the ability Of the company to accom-
pilsh all it announces as being prepared
to do. The strike was a failure from its
inception. The responsibility of per-
sons and property is assumed by the
company. If you admire an institution
that has the courage of its convictions.
give it your patronage. It now stands
between you and the righteousness of
jealous competitors. The Burlington
System was in advance of all lines in
establishing the dining-car service. To
the Burlington is due the present fast
train service between the Northwest
and Chicago and ST. Louis, It has been
progressive in the past, surmounted its
difficulties in the present and, if true
merit, courteous attention, prompt
service and sure connections, count for
aught, will in the future carry the
greater proportion Of fair-minded, lib.

Rev. c. S. Jacobs, Chicago, III.
Rev. and Dear Bro
To us has come the
sad news of your bereavement, the wife
who for nearly quarter of a century
has been thu object OF your fondest
care, her, over whose sick bed you have
Bonded with love and tenderness, and 10
whose comfort you have with willing
heart contributed to the utmost of your
ability; she, whom. you loved, and
whom you have seen gently floating
down the swift stream, has at last
crossed over. AS you stand with sad
heart and bowed head weeping over
your bereavement, we would come to
you with words of comfort and say
She is an angel now.
We knew her in hersdays OF suffering
and pain, and we have learned to know
that her trust was in Jesus, her hope Of
Heaven was the solace of her waiting
heart. Death came to her, not as a
grim monster, but as a messenger Of
love, the grave is but the open portal
through which she PASSED to brighter
realms
Her christian virtues and womanly
graces. shall ever live in the memories,
and their influence blossom forth in the
lives of all who knew her.
Dear Bro, she was ready, her soul
purified and full Of hope has entered
upon fairer existance, one free from
pain and heartache. The shadows and
gloom which environ your path, are
now unknown to her, for she dwells in
realms of endless lay and ceaseless song.
We are praying for you, praying that
you may with perseverance tread on in
the heavenly way, feeling assured that
after few more winds and storms, the
crossing day may come to you.
May faith in God be the ark which
shall bravely pass the stormy sea
and at last watt your soul into the
haven of peace. She is not gone, her
loving spirit fingers with you, it shall
hover around joyous and glad, till the
resurrection morn shall at last cloth it
in Immortality and in heaven reunite
the souls which on earth were one.
God bless, God keep and God comfort
you. And humble hope is that this
slight token Of our sympathy may bring
some comfort to your heart.
In behalf of the church, the community
and as an expression Of our feeling, we,
the undersigned pastor and officers Of
st. James Church address to you this
letter of coincidence. We shall place
tokens of mourning in our church and
bow our heads with you and weep.
Yours as follow servants of the Living
God.

Chicago.

Mr.. I. w. Lee, No, 219 Third avenue.
Every one will be sure to do that as in
vitauions are much to be desired.
The great success which attended the
Selika concert last Monday night, has
induced the committee of St. Thomas
Episcopal Church, to have the affair re-
peated. The arrangements have been
perfected and the people of Chicago
will have another chance to hear the
superb voice of Madam Selika at Far
well Hall, Wednesday evening, April
25th. In this engagement she will be
assisted by the baritone soloist, Mr.. S.
w. Williams and number Of our best
local artists. This will be grand star
concert with admission at popular
prices, only SO cents to all parts of the
house. No reserved seats, first come
first served. Those who were pre-
vented by Monday nights rain, from
hearing the great Selika, should be sure
to be at Farwell Hall, Wednesday
evening April IS, and you'll have to
to come early to get good seat.
All day Monday the rain descended
in torrents and did not cease till late at
night. About 800 persons braved the
inclement weather and assembled at
Farwell Hall to listen to Madam selika.
the celebrated Creole prima donna.
The audience was composed of Chi
cagoe's best people-the elite. The
ladies in the audience looked especially
charming, many in full dress notwith-
standing the inclement weather. A
number of the gentlemen were in
regulation evening costumes and the
ushers, eighteen in number were
simply dazzling in their suberb toilettes.
Had Solomon been present ne would
have blushed at his own purple and
fine linen. The first number on the
programme was an overture, ''Wel-
come," by Henderson's Orchestra,
rendered in excellent manner. Mr.. S.
W. Williams then sang The Wandering
Minstrel" Prof. Henderson gave a
violin solo .sThe Old Folks at Home"
and in response to an encore rendered
Coming Through the Rye" with vari-
atoms. The fourth number was caya-
tina, "Una Voce Poca Fa," by Rossini,
rendered by Madame Marie Selika.
AS the lady came upon the stage with
dignified and graceful bearing, she was
created with rounds of applause. AS
an encore she gave the Cuckoo song,
Madame Selika is endowed with voice
OF surprising sweetness and extraordin-
airy compass. With her pure tones, her
wonderful trills, and correct rendering
OF the most difficult intervals, she COM
pleetly captured her hearers.
The duet from I'll Trovatore,o by
Madam Selika and Mr.. Williams, the
perfect blending of the two voices was
noticeable. In this Mr.. Williams
shared the praise with Nine. Selika,
while in his solos he was indifferently
received
Prof. r. 3. Wilcox rendered cornet
solo, Rocked in the Cradle of the
Deep"
Prof Geo. w. jackson, gave
trombone solo, Vision"
The climax Of enthusiasm was reached
when Madame selika sang Echart's
Echo Song" The echoes were a per-
feet repetition Of the sounds imme-
diately preceding them. The lady
sang as an encore, tFloWers of The

A Railway Engineers Sentence.

Something over YEAR, ago pas
senqer train on the Mexican Central,

over drove Of burros, but the en-
gineer pulled the whistle, rang the
bell, and put on the air brakes, winch
scared fffc lazy burros. On reaching
Chihuahua the fireman was oiling up,
and noticed Mexican on the pilot
To the great surprise OF the fireman
and engineer it was discovered that
the Mexican's head was crushed ana
the pilot was covered with blood. The
engine had run into the poor victim
who was guarding the burros, ana
lifted him onto the pilot.
The engineer, fireman and conduct
or were arrested and taken before the
court, and the engineer was held IN
large bonds. Afterward the bonds
were reduced, and finally another and
higher court cut the bonds down to
$500, and the matter remained in that
shape until very recently. Jim Burn

Bad Fire.

PROVIDENCE, r.. l., Feb. 18.-Fire
broke out about IL O. clock last night in
the large commercial and manufacturing
block on Fountain and Eddy Streets, and
although the building was considered fire
proof, in fifteen minutes the flames had
full possession of the entire structure.
A fierce northwest wind prevailed and
caused the flames to spread with great
rapidly. In half an hour after the fire
started the entire two squares were solid
mass Of flames, and in another half hour
were in ruins. At two a. m. the firemen
had apparently gotten the flames under
control though the fire was as bright then
as at any time since it started. What
with cold high wind and broken down
wires the firemen worked under great
disadvantage. At 2:55, two entire squares
and half of the third were in ruins. Two
men are supposed to have been buried
beneath the falling walls, but no other
losses OF life are reported. This is the
most extensive fire the city has ever
known. The total loss is estimated at
from five hundred to seven hundred thou
sand dollars. No statement Of insurance
can yet be had.

The Chinese Shoe-Maker.

Tho Monaghan cobbler. mending
the shoes of reduced mandarin who
scrapes chins ut five cents week in
an adjacent barber shop, is sure to en-
chain the attention of the eastern tour
list. The cobbler cultiyates an intel
lectual appearance by straddling the
bridge of his nose with pair of large
sgectacles. 1t is recorded in Chinese
history that once upon time q cross
eyed cobbler. who mended the noble
shoes of CONTIGUOUS, had red pepper
thrown in his eyes by his hot-tempered
spouse, and would have been unable
to see straight for month after but
that his learned patron lent him Il pair
of spectacles, which not only made
him see perfectly at once but also took
the squint out of his optics. The Sc
quel Of the happy cure was that the
cobbler's wife, deceived by the miracle
wrought in his eyes. refused to believe
that he was her husband, and permitted
him to pass the remainder of his life
in delightful single .blessedness. Since
then every Chinese cobbler from San
francisco to Shanghai wears spectacles
to protect him from red pepper strab-
ismus and bad wiyes.-SGn Francisco
Chronicle.
