A Troublesome Question.

The question of a site for the worlds fair
is proving to be a troublesome one for Chi
cago 1t was thought several weeks ago
that the lake front site had been settled
upon, but it seems that such was not the
case.
The local committee has decided to divide
the fair, putting a part of it on the lake
front and part of it near jackson park.
The committee has been enjoined. however,
from using any part of the lake front.
Those who secured the injunction ere in-
terested, probably, in having a site selected
near where they have real estate to sell.
1t seems also that Pullman, of Pullman car
fame wants the fair near his town, which
is called Pullman, and which is a sort of
suburb of Chicago. He has offered site
containing $40 acres.
The best opinion is that the lake front
site is by all odds the most available one,
and there are strong reasons for thinking
that the fair will be there. The choosing of
that site means the retaining from the lake
Of three or four hundred acres of land. 1t
will be very valuable land, however, and
will be worth more than the cost of reclaim
ing it,
There is another reason in favor of the
lake front site. 1t is that the retaining of
a site from the lake would be big adver-
tisement for the fair. The fame of such an
undertaking would spread throughout the
world and make the fair matter of COM
mon talk among the people of nearly all
nations
The squabble that is going on over the
site was to be expected. The selfishness
that is cropping out in Chicago with respect
to it would have been witnessed in Wash
ington, New York or st. Louis if either Of
those cities had secured the fair

Carpenter Cashman's Friends Complain

The steamer Newbern arrived in port
yesterday from Guaymas and way ports,
one day behind schedule time, bringing a
number of passengers and large list of
freight 1t was also stated yesterday. on
telegraphic information, that John Cash
man, the carpenter of the steamer. had
died on the voyage and was buried at sea.
When the steamer arrived yesterday it
was learned that eastman died at o'clock
in the afternoon of June 9th, from the rup-
ture of blood vessel in the head, when
the vessel was thrty-fve miles from Mazat-
Ian. The body was taken to Mazatlan, but
the officials there for some reason refused
to permit it to be landed and so it was
buried at sea.
(. The deceased left widow and family in
this city, and his relatives feel very indig-
nant that the body was consigned to a
watery grave aud not brought here for
decent burial. They state that the steamer
had no doctor on board. Ii she had he
could have embalmed the body or at least
have covered it with shellac, and so pre-

THEY WEAR OLD HATS.


Many Men VIII Not Wear a Good Tile to
Baseball Game.
A State-street hat merchant: "Most
people who buy hats here leave their old
ones. What becomes of these old hats
If the body of the hat is very old it is sold
to the old hat man, who strips it of the
band, the sweat-band, and may be the lin
ing, if it is not too much worn. He usu-
ally sells these strippings for % cents. But
if the hat is only partially worn it is kept
here until the accumulation becomes too
great, and in that case the old hat man has
a harvest. But those that are not too much
worn, which we retain, are brushed up for
the benefit of our customers.
"a man comes in who wants his hat
renovated. The Job may require time. The
man may not want to wait says. LEND ME
hal" and we give him one of these. A
good many OF these hats are worn to base
ball games. People don't like to wear
good hats to ball ground. There is su-
perstition that there is likely to be rain
some time during the day on which game
of ball is played OF that hot ball may get
loose on the grand stand. That is why so
many old hats are worn to ball games"

A Fortune from Beans and Beef.


Oliver Hitchcock, the Park row beans
and beef man, has made more money
from the sale of the two articles of diet
mentioned than any man in the world.
His fortune is estimated to be $3.50, 900.
He is said to own considerable stock in
the New York Central railroad and to
have large sum invested in bonds and
mortgages. He is a remarkably sturdy

Mr.. Hitchcock began selling beef and

at it continuously ever since. Some of
the most famous newspaper men of New

ARE L. j. Lehman. MIR. Lehman was
and is still the proprietor of the biggest
retail dry goods store in Chicago
Mr.. Lehman Is suffering from form
of paresis, and although he is but AZ
years old there is not the slightest hope
of his recovery. he lives like king IN
his apartments, and his family pay for
the luxuries with royal hberality.
He has three apartments, which occu
py all the right side Of the house on the
lower floor. For these rooms and board
alone he pays $3.50 a week Then he has
three special attendants who keep with
him night and day. These cost $42
week additional
He keeps his horses and carriages and
rides out once day. One of the attend
ants does the driving, while the other
two sit on either side of him. For the
many other luxuries he enjoys Mr.. Leh-
man pays out in all 800 week. He
pays more than any other inmate of the
asylum.
While at times he is quiet and pleas
ant Mr.. Lehman is one of the widest
men in the asylum when an insane fit
strikes him. 1t is because of this that
it is necessary to keep three attendants
watching him. He has smashed thou.
sands of dollars worth OF furniture since
his incarceration. He is tall, athletic
ally built man, and is possessed of enor-
nous strength when he becomes wild.
Although his three attendants are all
trained athletes they have great difficulty
in holding him at times.
While he sleeps in one of the small
rooms an attendant sits at his bedside
and watches all night, while the other
two sleep in the large room few feet
distant.
In addition to the usual iron gratings
on the windows several strong bars have
been placed Several times week the
Chicago millionaire tries to break out Of
the rooms. He has almost wrenched the
iron gratings from their places, and on
one occasion almost succeeded in climb
ing up the wall to the glass transom
above the top of the door and breaking
through. To guard against repetition
of this the glass has been removed and
wooden boards have been nailed in its
place.
About once a month Mr.. Lehman's
wife comes on from Chicago to see her
husband. Sometimes she brings one of
her four children with her. She is not
permitted to speak to him or allow him
to see her.
While she stands in one part Of the
grounds he is driven past her in his car
rage, and in this way she is enabled to
catch brief glimpse Of his face.
In his rational moments Mr.. Lehman
talks to his attendants about his wife
and children. He says that he has the
sweetest family in the world and that
they all love him.
In his parlor Mr. Lehman has hand
somely carved organ. He is very fond
of music and is musician of no insig-
nifcant skill. He plays upon the organ
at times half the day and completely en-
chants the other inmates of the house
