Chicsgoans sre very mad because articles
are sent all over the country and to Europe
from that city stating that the worlds fair
is certain to be failure; that it is in the
hands Of spectators and that it is money
grabbing scheme. 1t is not to be wondered
ct that they are mad. They ought to hunt
down the slanderers and make them take
back the ISLANDERS

There must be something positively
wrong with JohnnI Davenport, who is sup
posed to have drafted the force bill, when
senators like Teller of Colorado attack him.
About the only thing the matter with Day-
export is that he has not yet succeeded in
getting his arm as deep into the govern
ment's money chest as he would like. He
has been a steady feeder at the public crib a
long time, and if the force bill should be-
come law Johnny weuld soon become one
of the moneyed men of Gotham.

A New York physician says that there
are over 100 lepers in New York city. Most
of them are being treated privately. Ex-
periments with DR.. Koch's lymph are being
made upon some of them, and, it ia said,
the disease yields slightly to lymph treat
ment. 1t is too soon, however, to say
whether or not the lymph will prove to be a
remedy for the disease.

faulters and embezzlers. According to the
Chicago TNbune the stealings amounted to
$S,622, $50. In 1889, however, the stealings

thieves got away with. The total sum of
their stealings was $685. S7. New York
was next to Pennsylvania In the sum lost

Prospsro's Equity Principle.

Verdi, the famous composer has discov-
cred modern Prospero of rather a pictur-
esque and peculiar character who has
attempted to est 4blish a somewhat novel
precede MT in equity for the disgruntled
opera auditor This discovery has cost the
great composer certain moneys that only
fair-minded man would have paid.
After he had taken an excursion to
Parma especially to hear a rendition of the
now famous opera "Aida," he felt SO uncer-
tain as to its actual merits that after invit-
ing himself to partake of a very satisfac-
tory supper he returned to his home and
again returned to hear the music. This
time either from indigestion or his computa.
tion Of debit side of the column or from his
own peculiar views of music he became so
thoroughly dissatisfied with himself and
the composition that he wrote to
Verdi giving full vent to his
plaiEtive distress of mind that
he should have disbursed an aggregate sum
OF $Sl 80 to hear music that afforded but
httle If any, solid satisfaction, and sug-
gested that the composer should refund the
aforesaid amount, in good and lawful
money, inclosing an itemiEed statement OF
his expenditures for car fare, admission and
suppers. All of this Verdi instructed his
publishers to return. except the suppers.
He drew the line at suppers In that par
ticular he seemed 20 think that Prosparo
was disposed to become just q little
too Prosperous. As be made no
complaint of dissatisfaction with the
supper Verdi argued that he should
pay for them; else he should get them at
home. Prospero acknowledged the rebate
in this wise: II, the undersigned,
do declare that have re-
ceived from Maestro Giuseppe
Verdi the sum Of % lire so centesimi, in
payment Of my expenses for two trips to
Parma to hear Aida whose author con-
siders it just to refund me, as did not find
the opera to my taste At the same time it
is agreed that shall not go to hear new
operas by Verdi unless l take the expenses
entirely on myself, whatever my opinion of
their merits may be-"
Unlike Shakespeare's Prospero, this
modern descendant of the family raised
small-sizei tempest for something to which
his claim was very questionable. But be
would have a great deal of trouble establish
ing that sort Of equity here. Few American
managers are there who would not have
heartily invited him to migrate to the torrid
zone Of the hereafter and with very scant
ceremony.
