Chicago Men Before tn g Worlds

Needs of the New Navy.
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 26.-Several rep
resentatives Of Chicagos interests in
the Worlds Fair matter appeared be-
fore the House Com mittee on the
Worlds Fair this morning and signi-
hed their desires in regard to the gem
eral bill, which the committee will re-
model and perfect in such a way as to
provide for holding the fair at Chicago
The Chicago men are anxious to have
tho section OF the bill providing for
the holding OF the fair under National
permitting State incorporation in
serted. They want the incorporators
to be from the State of Illinois, half to
be appointed by the Governor, and half
by the Mayor of Chicago.
"A request that u subcommittee of
tho Worlds Fair Commit ee be designa-
ted to visit Chicago and look over the
various sites offered. with view to
deciding on one of them will be made
to the committee, and If the commit
tee does not look favorably on this,
then 1t will be asked to allow Chicago
men to appear before it and mako oral
arguments concerning the different
sites.
There Is considerable talk about
opposition in the Senate, the Southern
members being, it is claimed, still OPP
posed to the fair in toto. They will
vote for the city having the lowest
number OF votes, with tho object of de-
feating the bill whom it comes up for
final passage in the House.
Tho Southern Representatives will
move to amend it by striking out the
81, 500, 900 appropriation for the Govern
mont exhibit, thus causing Chicago TO
bear the whole burden. This she is
not prepared to do, as her guarantee
fund was only 81, 500. 900 at the start.
and largo portion Of that has been used
for lobby purposes.
Chicago realizes that and is already
beginning to assert that 1892 is entirely
to carly to allow sufficient time to pre-
dare for such n tremendous exhibition
Senator lliscock will not call tho
meeting of his committee until the bill
comes to him from the House, and if it
DO not amended as stated, the Southern
Senators will proceed to kill it If posi-.

A Life in the Dark.

A touching incident was that J5EzS1l
William Nichols, brilliant and much
admired lady of Bath Beach, who had
been suffering for some time from an af-
lection of the eyes, says the Brooklyn
Citizen. Size was led to fear a speedy
change for the worst, and Immediately
consulted her physician. An examine
ton discovered sudden and fatal fail
ing in the optic nerve, and the informa-
ton was impaired as gently as possible
that the patient could not retain her
sight more than few days at most,
aud was liable to be totally deprived of
It at any moment. The afflicted mother
quietly made such arrangements as
would occur to one about to commence
so dark a journey of life, and then had
her two children, attired in their bright
est and sweetest costumes, brought be-
fore her, and so, with their little faces
lifted to hers, and tears gathering for
some great misfortune they hardly real
lied, the light faded out of their moth
crs eyes, leaving an ineffaceab.e picture
of those dearest to her on earth-a
memory of the bright faces that will
console her in many dark hour.

Where Dogs Are Used As Horses.

have met NJ. Nantet, the Belgian
author. who follows the usage of his
country in utilizing the dog as adraught
animal. lie has a little phaetOn drawn
by dogs, in which he drives ab56t when
at home, and in WHICH he has come
from Brussels to Paris. NJ. Nantet
thinks that Belgium, with her cherries
sky and sodden soil, is able to hold her
own, and be among the most prosper.
Gus nations of Europe, because the dog
is not only the friend and c?mrade, but
the carrier OF tn, poor man. The coster.
monger and his wife in Paris or Lon
don are broken down prematurely from
fatigue, and the stabling and fodder
for donkey is a heavy tax on their
profits, but their Belgian brethren can
house their dogs with themselves. The
dogs, after being embarrassed, dine
with their masters, and in w&ter sleep
before the kitchen fire.
The strength of good draught dog
is marvellous. He does not spoil roads
like a horse, and when tired he asks to
lie down, favor always granted; and
on being rested goes on again cheerful
ly.
The pair which drew NJ. Nantet is
of average sizc and strength, and had a
long line of ancess ors who did good
work in their time as carriers. When
at an inn their master used to unharness
them and take them with him into the
coffee room, where they lay down at his
feet. He drove all the way unless
when there was a steep hill to climb.
At a place called Louvroil the mayor
heard he hal come into tho town and
informed him that his equipage came
within the reach of the Grammont Law
for the protection of animals. ''Very
WE'LL" answered the Belgian, who was
preparing to start, and he ordered his
dogs to get into the phaeton and sit on
the seat while he drew them. They
obeyed and stayed there until they were
beyond the bounds of the commune,
where they descended to be harnessed.
To avoid crowds, who might think we'll
to take part with the dogs against their
master, NJ. Nantet kept clear of large
towns. At Compeignc he telegraphcd
to number of Belgians here at what
time he was likely to reach Paris, and
they went out to meet him. When he
was sighted the dogs were going at a
brisk pace. He thinks he could have
done the journey comfortably in five
days, but as he is much their friend as
their owner he gave them seven.
