last song Or sing another. I enjoyed il
so much"
Thanks, madam; but if I am moi
mistaken, one so fair as you can sing
much better than L.
"No, indeed, although I am very
fond of music, and did attempt to
study it while at school, for certain
reasons I was compelled to drop the
study almost before I began. I feal
my songs would be uninteresting to
you"
MADAM, suit yourself; I only
thought that perhaps you would enjoy
playing piece or two"
The miserable girl quickly sprang to
her feet and said:
Eyes, I would enjoy it; this burden
of my soul seems more than l can
bear"
She walked across the room and sat
down at the piano.
Lenora Churchill possessed one OF
the finest musical talents that even
woman Inherited. Her nimble little
fingers wandered over the keys few
moments, as if they were searching fol
something, and then, with a touch
upon the key, as if they had found it,
the deep, rich tones rose and filled
the house; thrill OF indescribable
wonder ran through Sylvester and
Gertana.
Such music, such sweet melodies,
had never been heard.
The sweet sounds rose and fell, &C.
:ording to the emotions of that pool
little prisoners heart. 1t sounded like
the pathetic strains from the angels
harps of gold, as they sail through
paradise, on their snowy white wings
Lenora had studied French when al
echool. and tonight she had thought o.
one of her favorites that seemed suitet
to her feelings.
She did not know that her companion
understood the language, neither die
she care; more than that, she seemed
to be alone-away entirely from all he!
troubles.
She sang song after song in hel
sweet, pathetic voice. The swee
melodies of those enchanting strain!
filed the whole house and were car
ried through the open windows, OH
upon! the sweet. balmy, spring air.

Fork being sent down the canal.
Most decidedly" answered Mr..
Ames and Mr.. Snively, two of the
Commissioners.
Aid. Durham then explained what
Mr.. Cudahy and Mr.. Armour are do
ing through the catchbasin system
removing nearly all the offensive
fluid matter from the clearinghouse
refuse before it is poured into the
South Branch.
Mr.. Ames then said: when the
other packers do what Messrs. Cud-
ahy and Armour are doing, We will
think about accepting the South Fork
water; not till then. We get about
one-third of it now, understand, that
is, when the wind is from the west.
That is too much. We would prevent
it if we could. 1t is the duty of your
health authorities to force the other
packers to do what Cudahy and Ar
mour are doing"
Il know it," replied Aid. Durham,
and then he looked as though he were
thinking. "But what can we do while
Cregier is Mayor"
The order for those settling basins
was adopted long ago. The Armour
house is the only one that has com
piled with it.
What do the other packers propose
to do?
Why have the Morris and Swift
houses not been compelled to do like
wise?
Will Commissioner of Health Wick
ersham explain?
Why have the Fowlers disregarded
the order?
And the Botsfords?
And the Allertons?
And the Hutchinsons?
And all the other fellows?
Why has DR.. Wickersham allowed
those persons to contemptuously dis
regard his order?
Is there anything in it?

ernmental importance. For fifty years
the public school system of Chicago
has been upon firm and honorable
foundation, and has been an honor to
the city and a credit to the State. If
Mayor Cregier insists upon filling up
the School Board with women, he will
strike the schools a blow from which
they will be long time in recovering.
There is no longer any row over the
Bible in the schools. Religious in
struction and sectarian exercises were
long since banished from their pre-
cincts and RELOCATED to their proper
sphere in the churches and homes of
the people. Place a number of women
on the Board of Education and ques-
tons now foreign to our educational
authorities will be forced upon them,
to the great injury of the schools and
the unspeakable Joy of their enemies.
If the question of appointing women
to this important body were submitted
to the people of Chicago, the PROPOSE
ton would be rejected at the polls by
an overwhelming majority of the suf-
frages of the citizens.
If the Mayor, at the request of the
woman suffragists, places more
women on the School Board, he is an
enemy Of the public schools and not
friend of free and tolerant education.

THE BRITISH STOCK YARDS.

Now that the Stock Yards have been
purchased with British gold, they are
English, you know, and their smell
should become fashionable.
1t will not be surprising if. in the
near future, cologne, for instance,
would smell as sweet under the new
name of Eau de Stock Yards"
Talking about Eau de Stock Yards"
it is understood that the Cregier adj
ministration has promised certain
friends of the English syndicate to
have an eight-foot tunnel built from
the lake to the yards, at the city's ex-
pense, at cost of 81 100000.

THE ASSESSING GO-BETWEENS.

Assessor Richards, of the South
Town, announces that he will increase
the assessment on vacant property
held for speculative purposes.
The intention thus announced is a
good one.
But is Mr.. Richards sure that his in
tentions will be carried out?
Is he sure that in application the
proposed increase will be only partial {?
Millionaire merchants and capital
lists, who squeeze and fleece their en-
ployes, hold vacant property in Mr..
Richards bailiwick assessed for about
one-twentieth of its value by Richards
predecessor.
Is that sort of valuation to be main
tanned?
Has Mr.. Richards yet formed the ac-
quaintance of the smooth gentlemen
who act as tax-fxers?
Does he know Gentleman George,
who figured in First Ward politics in
the long ago?
Has he met sleek Joe from the North
Side?
Whrt are the relations of two former
Assessors to these tax-dodging sharks
Is Mr. Richards posted concerning
the antecedents of those persons?
1t may be added, for the benefit of
Assessors Maher of Hyde Park, Kot-
zenberg of the Stock Yards, and
Cantwel of the West Town, how are
they going to act toward those gen
tlemen this year?
THE EAGLE will ascertain and tn e
facts will be published.
THE EAGLE, too, knows that Georg
and Joe, and Frank and Ben are not
the only operators in this line.
Reference will he made TO the others
in good time.
The EAGLE wants an honest assess
ment.

THE CHICAGO PARKS.

What difference there is between
the Chicago park systems in their care
and management! The South Parks
are far above the others in the dis
cipline of public servants employed
therein and in their general care and
management. Lincoln Park comes
next, and far below it in every wav
fall the West Parks.
The West Parks are a disgrace to
the city. They are looked upon as
the legitimate prey of cheap dema-
gogues, and, as a result, the majority
of the employees are ward heelers and
strikers. The roads are lily kept, the
lawns seldom moved, and everything
connected with them is badly run
down.
As no one can be appointed a Lin
coin Park Commissioner unless he
owns property abutting on Lincoln
Park, that pleasure ground is better
kept.
As 1t is surrounded by the homes of
the Lincoln Park Commissioners, they
look upon it as part of their private
lawns, and hence some care is taken
with it.
The South Park Commissioners, how
ever, take first prize for efficiency and
carefulness.

THIS IS RIGHT.
A Liberal Minded Minister
Who Thinks of the
Poor.
The Carping Hypocrites Who Would
Close the Fair on Sun
day Rebuked.

The Rev. David Utter preached a
liberal sermon last Sunday morning at
the Church of the Messiah on Sun
day Observance and the Worlds Fair, ="
taking for his text Galatians, vi
"Stand fast in liberty wherewith
Christ has made us free, and be not en-
tangled again with the yoke of bond
age"
"The Worlds Fair" said the preach
er, sought to be kept open on Sundays
and the rate of admission reduced on
that day in order that the working
people may be better accommodated.
That would make Sunday the great
day.
Working people cannot we'll afford
to spare the time on week days to at
tend the fair, and they are the people
who should attend more than any
other class. We who have time and
all the comforts of life are apt to think,
of ourselves as the world, forgetting
the struggling masses. Their pockets
may be empty and their clothes poor,
but the wealth of our nation is held in
their skillful hands. To say that they
shall not attend the fair on Sunday is
not to benefit them in any way, for
there are plenty of places open to
them on Sunday where they may re-
ceive positive injury.
People have come to regard Sunday
as day too sacred for pleasure, yet
the day was made for man, not man
for the day.
Speaking scientifically, the work of
creation was not ended upon any one
day, seventh or sevenrthousandth dav.
There has been no cessation of Gods
work. The eternal source of the forces
that create and destroy goes on for
ever. The only religious sanction for
any holy day is that it shall be good
for man. According to the religious
canons and customs of Ch1ist's time he
was q Sabbath breaker. There is no
evidence that he despised the Sabbath
day, but he did despise the artificial
restrictions and whimsical TECHNICAL
ties of the scribes and Pharisees.
Paul was great liberal. He
wanted men to live largely according
to the dictates of their conscience He
advised men to set apart some of their
time for worship, but he was not par
ticular as to the day. He wanted
them to consult their own convenience
to great extent. The day is only
holy as we make it so. / do not wish
to see it deteriorate into a mere holi-
day, but at the same time do not be-
lieve in compelling men to keep ii
holy. 1t cannot be done. Legislative
enactment will not make men good.
Give the people liberty and the oppor-
tunity to use that liberty for their own
good. Let us not suppose that we can
make people righteous by law"

Pleasant journeys can always be had
via the Wisconsin Central Line. The
employees are courteous and obliging
the sleeping and dining cars and day
coaches are peers of any in the North
west. The leaving hours at principal
terminal points are convenient and the
depots are centrally located. All to-

either direction between Chicago, Mil

ONAHAN'S QUEER FINANCIERiNG.

Five or six years ago, when Carter
lei. Harrison was Mayor of Chicago,
1865 small denomination city bonds
were placed on the market in order to
give the common people a chance to
buy them.
They were sold above par They
were eagerly taken up. The bankers
as well as the workingmen sought
them.
The effect of the sale and of the
eager bidding was to raise the credit
of the city.
During Mayor Roche's time 3.50's
were sold above par, and the citv's
credit kept on improving until it be-
came gilt-edged.
Immediately after the Cregier ad-
mlnistration came into power 81 per
cent. bonds were sold at premium
of25.
1t was thought at the time that
3-per-cent. bonds could have been
easily foated, and no doubt they could
have been.
In month or so 1894, 900 of city
7-per-cent. bonds will have to be re-
funded.
1t was proposed to refund them at 3
per cent.
Advertisements were made for pro-
posals at this rate.
They were not responded to. The
Comptroller was obliged then to adj
vertise for proposals for 3{-per-cent
bonds
There were only few unimportant
responses.
The Comptroller, we are told in the
daily papers, made tour of the city
banks and effected in part the organ
izaticn of syndicate to take the en-
tire amount at 101, and this will prob
ably be done"
What is the meaning of all this?
Has the Onahan financial admins
tration unfavorably affected the credit
of the city?
Or Is there financial ring to make
money out of the city through the
operations of Mr.. Onahans svndi-
cate?
Why are not the bonds offered to
the people, as Mr.. Harrisons 3.65
bonds were offered?
Are the bankers to be favored at the
expense of the people?
Must the monopolist couron-clip-
pers have their pound Of flesh?
Is hnancier onahan to operate the
knife while Cregier holds down the
yietimiled taxpayers
II this sort Of business Is persisted
IN, It viii be a burning Disgrace 10 the
city.
We shall see.
