AFTER THE BANQUET.

The Albion club boys were feeling quite
happy yesterday but not any more so than
their many friends who had been so roy
ally entertained. The members of the
club were glad that they had received SO
many compliments and their friends were
quite ready to speak in most compliment
airy terms. The parody on ''Locksley
Hail." by Henry A. Clifford, ESQ.,. was re-
garded as very fine and its publication has
been requested by number. It was most
heartily cheered and is as follows:
"LocKsLEY HALL"-A PARODY.
Comrades, let us pause little,
Pause the to a psous aoas senNs England
England, once called Albion"
"Tis the place where all the children
Oft have heard the curlews call;
Have their own a. dear ear .'LocEsiey Hall"
Locksley Hall, from out whose easement
They have seen the Star OF Empire"
swiftly moving TO the west
Many time they've seen the ocean,
That great thorougfare OF trade,
Bear their friends upon Its bosom,
Out into its misty shade.
There about the beach they've wanderedi
With purpose all sublime:
To pursue that Star of En- pirc"
To the distant western cline.
So, from Liverpool or London,
Whatsoeer tho port may be.
Sail they forth across the ocean,
To the country Of the free.
Some there are with princely fortune;
Forward. forward, now they range.
Through the busy streets of Gotham"
Down the avenues 'on change"
And they dip into the futures"
Where no human eye can see
Till they sadly sit and murmur,
20, what shall the harvest be-"
Stocks go down instead Of upward;
They the margins" fail to meet.
And they find their corn Is longest"
When they should be "Iong" on wheat.
Many an evening by the ticker
When the sbuIis' and .bears"were struggling
And the bulls" were going down.
knowledge comes, but wisdom fingers,
And with hope IN every breast
Move they on from dreary Gotham"
To the cities OF the west,
Where field for safe investment
Quickly to their view Is pressed,
Where the bulls" have no vocation,
And the bears are laid at rest.
FIGURING mills of mammoth size,
With their watts and bins enormous.
Stand before their wondering eyes.
Prohibition in the balance,
License gaining state by state,
Resubmission pushing forward,
Point to profits good and great.
knowledge comes, but wisdom fingers, :
And 1t quickly doth appear
That the stock has all been ''watered"
Quite as freely as the beer.
And they doubt not through the nation.
One increasing purpose runs,
And mems pocket books grow larger
With the process OF the suns.
Let us pause. then, just a little,
Ere the joyous hour is gone
Pause to dream of "Merrie England"
England once called albion"
Wheresoe Ter the woods may wither,
WhQreSOeer
May the ivy cling forever
10 your own dear .'LocKsley Hail."

Alleged Conlusive Evidence Against
Sullivan.

CHICAGO, May 3O.-It is rumored that
the police in their further search to day
of the cottage in which DR.. Cronin was
murdered, found a pick and other ice
tools, presumed to have been the property
of 2. o. Sullivan, the ice dealer. The
authorities are reticent as TO the result of
to days investigation and refuse to affirm
or deny this rumor.
The theory is advanced that it was with
the blows from these instruments that
Cronin was SO foully murdered. When it
is remembered hat a notable discovery OF
the post mortem examination vas that the
skull was in no place fractured, this con.
lecture does not appear to be reasonable.
The tools to-day discovered, it is under
stood, had been hidden partly under
ground and in a rubbish heap in an out
house or shed adicining the cottage. The
greatest importance is attached to this
report, as it is construed into GROWING
evidence of ice-dealer Sullivan's compile
Ity in the murder.

MEMORIAL DAY
Generally Observed as a Holt

American Jockey Club Meeting
at Jerome Park.
Rumored Indian Outbreak Elk
cites Northern Nebraska.
A Dective,s Opinion.

CHICAGO, May 30.-The Daily Ne1cs
this evening prints a conversation with a
detective, whose fame is not given, and
who has been watching the Cronin case
closely. He thinks the three men now in
jail know all about the murder and could
give the police the right clues; but they
can never be convicted on the evidence
now in possession OF the states attorney.
One of them must sdueal; and he argues
that 1t lies between Sullivan and Wood
ruff to do this. The detective thinks
Coughlln made arrangements for the
murder; Sullivan was entrusted to the
WORK OF fixing up the contract with
Cronln, and the hiring of all rigs Cough
lin attended to himself. Tie first met
Woodruff whom he knew to be acrook, and
always ready for any shady transaction
He did not confide anything to him,
merely telling him he wanted some work
done, and then made the dicker with
Oman for the rig, which his friend was
to call for. The men known as Williams
brothers did all their own work, hiring OF
cottage and buying of furniture. The
detective thinks that, although there
were perhaps twenty persons 10 the con
splracy, ouly two or three, besides
the actual murderers, knew that
Cronin's life was to be taken.
"Will the ~murderers ever be brought to
justice?" said the detective; Il think the
chances are five TO one against the police.
With the evidence thus far obtained there
can be no convictions. 1t is not at all
likely that the men who committed the
crime itself are yet in Chicago or are
even in the country. They had ample
time to get u of the country. | have
another theory, not as tenable as the first
one. 1t may have been there was nc
society conspiracy at all. 1t is possible
Sullivan got some woman into trouble and
CroniE became acquainted with the facts,
which were damaging to the ice man. The
latter, knowing the strict moral and relig
ious principles OF the doctor. and urged
on by the fear that the physician would
inform the authorities, made the contract
with the doctor which lured him to hi,
death. l cannot but think Woodruff
story about the woman had some founda
ton in fact"
The reporter afterward talked with
Chief Hubbard about the theory. Yes
admitted Hubbard, I'VE have a man
working on hat feature of the murder
Sullivan is a bachelor and it is not unlikely
he may have got some woman into trouble.
What connection this may have with the
murder we do not know. [ don't placc
much reliance in the theory"
