The tender consideration which tn,
Chicago authorities entertain for Spor
is shown by the fact that they com
mitted him to home which is sort O
a genteel hospital for those suffering
from alcoholic excuses. This is mucl
better than being bundled off to
gloomy, vulgar Jail. Mr. Campana's vi
tally is such that under the upbuiIdins
influences of a delicate but nutritiv,
diet, and skilled medical attention, h.
will soon be himself again. 1t has no
always been his lot to have his line
fall in such pleasant places. The theor,
that Chicago means to maintain a firm
clutch on Sport SO that he may be on
of the unrivalled attractions of tn
worlds fair is a plausible one. If the,
want some one or something who can
not be duplicated, he certainly fills tn
bill.-BridgepOrt Farmer.
