In Illinois there were 176 railroad

A BIGOTED CROWD.

A lot Of religious sects are try
ing to take hand IN running the
Worlds Fair. They insist that
the Fair be closed on Sunday.
The mistake they make is that
they do not realize that there are
other people in the world besides
themselves. Now, suppose their
wish be granted ard the FAR close
on Sunday. Then suppose the
Seventh Day Adventists come in
and demand a Saturday closing
Is there any reason why their wish
should not be gratifed? Tn s
disposes of two days in the week
Now, suppose the adherent OF
the Moelem wants to hoist the fag
of Mohomet and cram tie creed
Of Ismail down the threats of the
Methodist and Catholic. 1t would
raise howl.
Yet let us bear in mind that this
IL cosmopolitan proposition, and
the Fair is open to the world.
or course, any request made by
a Mob Jmeden on a religious basis
would be rejected with deri~ion.
Yet, as matter of fact, there are
more people on the earth today
following the faith OF Mohomet
than the faith of Christ.
No man living has the right
although he may have the assur-
ance--to rise up and say that his
faith IS the only true one and the
rest are bogus.
The only breathing day the
American workman has Is Sunday,
and yet these religious fanatics
propose to deprive the working
men OF Chicago of the right to
see the Fair without losing a days
work and wages.
Such bigotry and intolerance is
worthy the twelfth century, and
not the nineteenth, and it looks
very much as if the Chicago clergy
were playing sharp game to keep
their churches from being depleted
on Sunday.

THE OUTSIDE OF THE NEW
STORE,

People 0ho pass for the first time the
new store of Weinstock, Lubin, & Co., Sacra.
mento, are apt to pause and look Its great
size and novel architecture make it quite
different from the ordinary run of business
structures. 1t stands on the corner OF
Fourth and K streets, with frontage of a
hundred and forty feet and depth of hun
dred and sixty feet. The general design Is
massive and bold, with abundant decoration
IN artistic raised scrolls. noticeable
feature of the design is the great number
and variety of windows. Some very
narrow and slim. like those seen in the pic
lures of old castles while others are broad
and low, and four or five times as large as
ordinary windows. The central tower con-
tains projecting balcony, from which an
excellent view of the city and surrounding
country may be had.
The first story of the building in front
rests on series of arches eighteen feet wide
and twenty feet high, the base OF the arches
being supported on massive iron columns
The plate-glass windows for the display OF
goods set back ten feet from the arches, per-
uniting of an arcade walk between them and
the main sidewalk. The chief entrance to
the building is under the central tower. It
Is thirty-fve feet high, apA handsomely
ornamented.
The house takes special pains with it's
show-window displays. Something new and
interesting may always be seen in them.
Some of the windows have floors fitted with
revolving discs, so that goods placed upon
them are constantly turning and passing IN
many directions. At present writing, in
of the windows are dozen or more full
size wax figures of men, women, and child
rem. They were imported from France and
are very lifelike. The figures are stylshly
attired in the new fashions, and as they pass
and repass present a scene OF much brilliancy
and animation. The advantages which this
house offers to customers, and they are GER
tainly many and important, may be fully
shared by those living at a distance. \

every Spring and Autumn. 1t sells goods
as readily to distant buyers as the best sales
men to a customer at the counter. Why

The Doodle BOurOUgli .

This is about the only name
California can 60 by. Read this
from the Stockton Alliance:
Taylor, the man who managed
the Senatorial combine at Sacra-
mento last Winter, says the cor
rupt association cleared $3.50 900
and then refused to pay him his
Francisco political manager, APP
pears to corroborate Faylor's
statement.
Taylor claims that each of The
twenty four Senators in the COM
bine received $1,000 for his vote to
defeat Senator Berry's railroad
assessment bill. This measure
provi led for the re.asses. ment of
all railroads in the State delin-
quent in taxes, and had it passed
would have compelled the Southern
Pacclc to pay 100000. The
bill was defeated.
Senator MCGOWAN introduced Il
measure known as the County
Mutual Insurance bill ." which
merely permitted people to form
Insurance associations and insure
their own property and avoid the
excessive rates Of the insurance
trust. Each of the twenty four
Senators received $1,000 for voting
against this bill.
Upon passing the Glen county
bill each was 20 receive $3.50, but
afterwards demanded $500 addi-
tional apiece. To kill what is
known as the pilot bill each receiv-
ed 500, says Taylor. He also
claims money was paid for votes
on the Riverside county bill. The
gamblers had to pay Faylor's com
bine $3.50 apiece to get Burners
gambling bill through. Thanks to
Governor Markham, who vetoed
the bill, the gamblers lost their
money.

HE HAS tanned CORAL ANIMALS.
George L. Bancroft's Experience on the
Coast of Florida.

II know that coral animals can be
tanned, for have had considerable ex-
perience with Them" said George l..
Bancroft of Tallahassee, Fla, to a
Chicago Tribune man.
Mr.. Bancroft has spent several years
of his life among the coral reefs off
the coast of Florida and Key West. and
has made study of the work of the
little coral animal. The traveller has
q fine collection of coral with him and
about each piece has something inter-
esting TO relate.
Il believe | am the first person, how
ever, who ever tanned the polyps."
continued Mr.. Bancroft as he took a
fine specimen from his pocket. That
piece found on a reef in Florida, and
as | was anxious to notice how fast the
coral grows placed it in the water
where l could visit it every week and
note the change. l had no idea the
coral animal would become used to
my coming. but one day after about
the tenth visit l noticed the polyps
darting into their cells. After several
more visits some of the little fellows
became so bold as to remain Oh the
outside, and finally they became so
well acquainted with me they would
remain in sight. l have stood by the
side of that four-inch-square specimen
for hours examining the thousands of
animals on it. Scientific men claim
that the coral grows slowly. not more
than an inch in 100 years, but have
proved that the scientific people don't
know what they are talking about. for
the piece containing my coral pets in
six months grew at least an inch. 1t
is rather hard to describe how the ami
NAL works. The little fellow is mere
sack containing a stomach. 1t is a
compound animal and increases by
gemmation, young polyps springing
from the original polyp. sometimes in
differently from any part Of its sur
face. The upper surface is decked
out with tentacles and the body is
separated by number of partitions
that extend from the stomach to the
outer skin. Between these walls of
flesh the carbonate of lime is deposited,
and in that way the coral grows"
Mr.. Bancroft has many specimens of
coral with him. One kind he calls the
pepper coral. When touched with the
tongue it will cause tears to run from
the eyes of the owner of the tongue. 1t
is worse than red pepper. The coral.
the traveller says. is not sought for like
1t was years ago.
Coral ornaments are not popular at
present." said Mr.. Bancroft, land
until there is a craze for them the trade
will not be extensive"

THE LITTLE KERcHIEF.

1t was only a wee worn kerchief that lay in my
trembling hands,
As sat by the window dreaming and looked
on the moonlit lands;
II was only a wee worn kerchief, but it filed
my heart with tears,
For il spoke of my beloved and the unforgot-
ten years.
thought of the old, old garden, where many
happy night
She stood in the summer moonlight and waved
that kerchief white
As she watched in fine confiding, for she knew
that it would be
A beacon of light to guide me, a signal of love
to me.
But the moon rose over the meadows, the night
grew hushed and still,
And methought that my beloved came down
from the old sweet hill;
Once more her hand was waving, once more
that kerchief white
Flashed like the wing of an angel out of the
silent night.
So l keep the little kerchief with trust that
can ne'er grow cold,
For know that my love is waiting as once in
the days of old:
And out of the blue. bright heaven there will
come in the years TO be
Her message of old to call me, her signal of
love to me!
