Off the Lake Front.

Some time ago Warren F. Leland, of
the Leland Hotel, Chicago, secured an
injunction restraining the managers of
the Exposition building from extending
the structure and declaring that its ex-
istence on the lake front, which has
been dedicated as a public park, to be
forever free from buildings, is in viola
ton of law. Since that time strenuous
efforts have been made to get Mr.. Le-
land to withdraw his opposition. but
without avail. 1t is now announced that
the usual fall exhibition and the fat
stock show will be held, after which the
building will be torn down.

his office as United States consul-gen-
eral. His Majesty declined to give him
an interview, and also refused to accept
him as consul-general The reasons
given by His Majesty for his action are
that Mr.. Severance was dismissed from

of that kind. He declared that neither

called it the elixir of life, or authorized
anybody else to give it that name. He
trested the matter, in his conversation,
as still in the experimental stage.
