conjecture as to what Mr.. Brooks can be saying
that they must not hear.
Lovers of art are having treat in the exhibit

The prize picture this year is "The Thanksgv-
ing Dinner" by W. Z. Smedley. The clear tints
and the sunlight effects lend an indescribable charm
to the picture Near it hangs one by E. A. Abbey,
which is said to have We'd with it for the favor of
the judges.
There have been fruit exhibits in the city, and a
dog and poultry show of late, and the last thing
is the orchis exhibit at the Eden Musee
The most extensive private collection of orchis
in this country is owned by Mr. f. L. Ames, of
North Easton, Mass, and is worth $200,000.
Single orchis plants may be purchased all the way
from $40 to $500.
Lovers of orchis haunt the Eden Musee and
converse IN Latin all but, for they shower scen-
ti6c names upon each other and the surrounding
orchis in way to make the ordinary observer
gasp. 1t takes an orehis lover half day to study
each new orchis, finding new beauties each
moment.
They are said to be safe investment, but were
evidently not intended for the ordinary pocket
book.
Orchis are like diamonds, you can realize your
money on them at any time, with perhaps this
difference, diamonds you can be induced to dis
pose of, bnt orchs never.
They are the latest fashion in flowers and are
beautiful beyond description. HARYor Holt.

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK; February %, 1890.
Editor of Woman's Chronicle

outside matters as the Worlds Fair, but the pulse
of popular opinion has no lack of interest to the
feminine portion of society," whether advanced or
conservative.
New York's head is still summed by the blow
she received at the hands of Congress- Every
body blames everybody else. Evidently some one
has blundered the unanswered question remains
"Who?"
The Democrats know it was the Republicans
and very evident it is that some one has longer
head than Chauncey Depew. Republican New
York worshps Col. Depew, and although he trails
them around after him, this was time when the
wit of an after dinner speaker lost its power.
New York holds Indignation meetings and is
filled with speeches. wonder at the audacty of the
presumptious West. How Congress could get
around giving it to New York with Its $4,000, 900
and its location, is an unsolvable probem-and no
one save Mr.. Thomas Platt can answer it.
A Harlem merchant has decorated his store
front with black, and hung over the door the in
scrpton, 'The Worlds Fair-We mourn Our
loss." Just how much every one, from real estate
men to theatrical managers, have calculated on the
Fair no one can ever estimate. Rents have gone
up in the neighborhood of the proposed site, and
inducements founded on the future have been held
out. The other day, when your correspondent
was shown some apartments by far-seeing land
lord, he remarked ''These windows will look right
out on the Worlds Fair, as that vacant corner has
been secured for one of the buildings"
At present New York is expressing its sympathy
for Chicago in its position of host to white ee-
phant, and now proposes to have Fair all of its
own. But surely New York is too magnanmous
and patriotic to carry out such an idea
Lent has sent society into retirement, and the
pulpit seems to have the floor Mr.. Moody is
holding meetings and Rev. Phillips Brooks, noted
Episcopal divine of Boston, is giving daily lectures

That word "only" makes it very popular

Concerning a Proposal.

From Harpers Bazaar,
1t is very common thing to hear of this or that
lovely young woman of whom 1t is matter of
Tumor that she has received and refused certain
number Of offers of marriage, various gentlemen,
mentioned by name having proposed to her an
alliance with themselves and having been repnlsed.
Now, how is it, in a country where proposals
are but seldom made through parent, and are
usually matter between the parties most con-
cerned themselves, that such rumors gets about
at ALL the mort especially if there is any truth in
it? Can it come from any other source than the
mouth of the young woman herself, or from the
surmises of her family and their subsequent Cos
sip? And if it does come that way, does it not
argue singular sense of honor on the part of the
recipient of such proposals? Is it not an un-
comely sacrifice of personal reserve? And does it
not on the instant that we hear of it, say that the
person making the proposal to this young woman
was mistaken in her; that he thought she was
magnanimous and NOBLE whereas she was ignoble;
that he meyer thought she was one to betray such
a confidence; and not only that the proposal, be-
ing made under mistake, is as null and vo as if
it had never existed, but that under this mistaken
conceit of her, is was really made to quite differ
ent person?
A girl never has any need to tell of proposal
through the terrible fear that other people should
think she never had one. The old saw which says
"there, never swan goose so gray but it could
find mate" is perennially applicable Probably
the woman does not live who has not had more
than one opportunity to change her state and con-
diton; and if she is at all pretty brilliant, sweet
hammered, fascinating in any way, it goes without
saying that she has had repeated opportunity, and
there is no need of asserting selfevident fact.
We have, however, known very plain women, very
silly women and women without any allurement
from the feminine point of view, through some in
scrutabIe attraction receive as many of these
eventful questions to answer as if they had been
beauties of captivating address. It's little diff
cult, then, to see why circumstance that may
and does happen to any is to be regarded as such
a feather in the cap, and should be so nouriShng

An Aged Man Blows His Brains Out
With Load of Shot.
CHICO, ptember 22d. = Word was
brought to Chico last night that sn old
man who was working at the Moak place
had suieided.
Undertaken Charles Fetters, accompan-
led by Deputy Constable Draper, took the
black Maria" and st once proceeded to
the scene of the tragedy. The ranch is
situated about seven miles east ct town.
They found the deceased lying on the front
porch OF the cabin, with his left les doubled
up under him.
A lantern was burning when the body
was found yesterday morning, and ffom an
examination made by Fetters il was evil
dent that deceased had very deliberately
ended his life.
He had sat down on the porch with his
left shoulder leaning against the post, and
taking of his shoe and stocking fSom his
right foot, he took No. - muzzle-loading
shotgun and placed it on the ground before
him.
He leaned over so as to bring the muzzle
under his lower jaw on the right side, and
then pulled the trigger with his great toe.
The charge passed clear through his head,
coming out on the left side, tearing away
the skull and making hole over three
inches in diameter, out of which brain mat
ter oozed. Death was instantaneous.
But little is known about deceased. He
has been in the employ of john Crouch at
the above named ranch for some time.
He was about 81 years of age and his
name is supposed to be Patrick Msloney.
The Coroner will hold an inquest over
the remains to-day, at which further in
formation may be elected.

THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Commissioners Finally Decide Upon

The Commissioners Finally Decide Upon
a Site.
CHICAGO, September 22d.--The Worlds
Fair site question has been settled by to-
days action. In the morning the South
Park Commissioners agreed to add Wash
ington Park to the portions of the
South Park system already offered to the
Commission. This was in accordance
with the resolution adopted by the Ma
tional Commission last Saturday.
At the afternoons session of the National
Commission the amended site PROPOSE
ton was presented and unanimously
accepted. The site thus provided for in
cludes Washington and Jackson Parks and
Midway Plaisance connecting them, and the
Lake Front Park, in all about 900 acres.
In sense the chosen site is one great
unit, comprising as it does the entire South
Park system of Chicago, the finest of any
in the city. The enthusiasm with which
the tender was received by the National
Commission showed in marked contrast
with the reception of the previous PROPOSE
ton.
By resolution adopted early in the day,
the National Commission had formally
pledged itself to regard the offer of such
site as a final settlement of all questions
relating to the site, and when the Park
Commissioners promptly responded and
the exact location for the big Exposition
was at last finally fixed, there was out
bursts of cheers.
Stepping from the doors of the city's
railroad depots, hotels and business houses,
the visitor at the Worlds Fair will, as it
were, enter directly the vestibule of the
exposition on lake-front. This lake-front
is strip of park, comprising sixty acres,
bordering on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Leading from it the finest boulevard of the
city goes directly to Washington Park, and
connecting with the latter is Midway Plai-
sance, which ends in Jackson Park, lake
front.
the waters of Lake Michigan. The greater
portion of the site is one vast network of
pleasure drives, enclosing great stretches of
meadow and groves of oak
Adjoining Washington Park is the race
track, capable of accommodating fifty
thousand people, and this the local direc-
tors expect also to make part of the site
for the purpose of speed display and live
stock show. The improved race track,
where the live stock show will be made,
is within one hundred yards of the point
selected for the main building, thus placing
the whole fair in one compact quarter of
the city, including the Government display
and the displays to be made by the various
Sts'es, in conjunction with the main expo
sition buildings.
The site selected and the plan of build
ings proposed is generally regarded as cal
culated to be especially gratifying to the
live stock men of the country.
There is great rejoicing in Chicago to-
night, by sll classes, over the final settle
ment of the site controversy in way that
gives satisfaction.

A Dead Body Recovered.

MARYsvILLE, September 22d.-Sunday
afternoon, while two men were fishing in
the Feather river, about four miles below
this city, they discovered the body of a
man caught on snag in the middle of the
river. Word was sent to this city and Cor
oner Beven went to the scene and after
considerable difficulty succeeded in getting
the remains into a wagon and bringing
them to the city.
1t was evident that the remains had been
in the water for some time, as they were
badly decomposed and nearly past recogni-
ton.
They are supposed to be those of an old
man named Thomas Hawarth, of Parks
Bar, who has been missing since August I'd
Hawarth was q man 81 years old, and
was last seen trying to ford the Yuba river

OAKLAND, September 22d = Coroner
Henry Evers received telephone message
from the Pacific Oil Works at the West
eud, Alameda, this morning as follows:
Send some one to take charge of human re-
mains packed in an oil can, washed ashore on
the beach near the oil works.
The Coroner dispatched his deputy TO in
ysstigate the case.
1t was learned that the remains, which
were fragments of human body, had
been tightly packed in a fye-gsllon oil
can.
The contents of the can, which was
washed up on the beach near the oil re-
finery, were disclosed by protrading
hand. 1t was evidently a mans hand.
There didn't appear to be any articles Of
clothing with the fragments of anatomy
which would give any clew to their iden-
tity. The desiccated human remains had
evidently been in the water for some time.
How they came there and who the body
may have been is mystery.
