BRIEF WlRINGS::-
IN MEMORY OF GRANT.
A Noble Monument Unveiled ut Chicago
This Forenoon.

CHICAGO, Oct. THE magnificent
monument to the memory OF General
Grant, " which has been erected in Lincoln
park by the citizens of Chicago was un-
yelled to-day with imposing and elaborate
ceremonies. The exercises of dedication
equalled in interest and magnitude any
patriotic demonstration ever witnessed IN
Chicago. At 10 o'clock multitudes from
all directions were moving toward the
lake front where the procession was
formed under the direction of General
Miles. The display was both military and
naval as well as popular and was undoubt-
edly worthy of the memory OF the great
general. The day was observed as gen
eral holiday. The banks, stores, city hall
and public schools were all closed. The
United States vessels Fessenden, Michl-
gan and johnson, with 100 other vessels,
steamers and yachts, all decorated with
flags and bunting, took part in the demon.
stfation off shore at Lincoln park, and
executed several attractive manouyers.
The procession was composed oil civic and
military organizations.
The dedicatory Grafton was delivered
by Gen. Walter Q. Gresham, from plat
form built against the huge pedestal. He
was followed by Edward Taylor, W. G.
Goudy. Mayor Washburne and Governor
Fifer, who made short addresses. I'm
mediately following the unveiling the
presidents salute of twenty-one guns was
fred by the vessels on the lake. 1t is
estimated that the ceremonies were wit
messed by 100000 people. Gen. Grant is
represented mounted on his well known
famous charger, grasping field.glass in
his right hand. The bronze statue meas
ures eighteen feet three inches in height.
1t is the largest casting of the kind ever
ATTEMPTED in this country.

DENVER AND NEW MEXICO.
Improved Railway Facilities Must Be
Had--A Business-Like View OF the
Situation.

The Denver Sun OF Sunday has this on
its editorial page:
A meeting will be held Thursday night
in the Chamber OF Commerce building to
consider the important matter of railroad
connections between this city and New
Mexico. This meeting should be attend
ed by all our business men, capitalists
and property owners. The matter to
be considered is one of deep concern to
Denver.
In the present situation of affairs, this
city secures none Of the trade OF New
Mexico. The dealers in the cities of that
rich and promising territory are anxious
to bring their business here, but can not.
Kansas City, st. Louis and other eastern
cities are enabled to secure a large and
valuable trade which naturally belongs to
Denver.
Increased railroad connections, new
lines, would change all this. They would
bring us into direct and independent COM
munication with the principal cities OF
the territory of vast possibilities to the
south of us.
This matter is constantly assuming
greater and greater importance. New
Mexico is attracting capital and popula-
ton as never before. Her fertile valleys
are being fast brought under cultivation.
Her mines are being developed. And her
sheep-growing and cattle-raising interests
are incr easing. 1t is certainly time that
Denver was taking measures to secure her
profitable and growing trade.
Our city is the natural trade center OF
the great Rocky mountain region. But
the commerce will not be forced upon
her, will not inevitably fall to her. She
must reach out for it to secure it. She
must show energy, enterprise, determine
ton. And good beginning is offered in
the project to secure better railroad con
nections and closer commercial relations
with New Mexico.

The Writing Telegraph.

CHICAGO, Oct. THE wiring tele-
graph instrument, the latest invention in
the telagraphic world, was exhibited at
the North American Telegraphic com
pany's rooms here. The test Was between
Chicago and st. Paul, more than 400
miles, and despite unfavorable weather
the result was successful. The instrument
itself is very simple, the electric mechan-
ism being inclosed IN a small case. The
only thing visible Is a roll OF tape, the
same as used on the sensitive plate in the
opening, simply writes the message, and
at the receiving point it is duplicated on
the tape. In this manner pictures can
be traced, maps drawn and notes signed
al the distance of thousands of miles.
Experts in charge of the test are enthus-
iastic over the invention and claim that it
will do away with the Morse system, and
can be worked, they clam, at the rate OF
forty-tive words minute. Practical tests
have been made in Philadelphia, New
York and other places.

A Pure Baking Powder.

A baking powder that can be depended
upon to be free from lime and alum is q
desideratum in these days of adulterated
food. So far as can be judged from the
official reports, the "Royal'' seems to be
the only one yet found by chemical. .analy'
sis to be entirely without one or the other
OF these substances, and absolutely pure.
This, it is shown, results from the
exclusive use by its manufacturers OF
tartar specially refined and prepared by
patent process which totally remove the
tartrate of lime and other impurities:
The cost of this chemically pure cream Of
tartar is much greater than any other,
and it is used in no baking powder except
the Royal" the manufacturers of which
control the patents under which it is re-
fined.

Fitness OF Officers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE president
has prescribed set of rules which have
been promulgated by the secretary OF war
providing for a system of examination to
determine the fitness for promotion of all
officers of the army below the grade OF
major. When congress passed the act OF
October /, 1890, providing for such ex-
aminations, it went into effect immediate
ly, and in order to adjust the scheme to
men who had made no preparation for the
examinations, the requirements were
somewhat limited.
The act has now been in operation one
year, and it is deemed proper to make the
examinations more searching and to es-
tablish a much higher order of require
ments as condition of promotion. 70
that end the new rules have been pre-
sc-ibed, but in order that injustice snail
not be done, and that all officers shall be
afforded ample time to prepare them
selves for the ordeal, the rules will not be
applied until January |, 1898.

BIG FIRE IN LYNN.
Two Buildings Destroyed and One Partly

Two Buildings Destroyed and One Partly
Burned-LOss, $500, 900.
LYNN, Mass, July 19.-At $3.50 last
night fire started in the third story of
Blake's brick block, corner Of Union and
Mulberry street, and in 20 minutes had
spread to the flve-story brick block ad-
joining, owned by Strout Bros, and
threatened the entire street for a dis
tance of 200 feet. Aid was called from
adjoining towns and cities.
At 1910 1t was seen that the fve-story
brick block owned by B. w. Currier
could not be saved except by superhu-
man efforts. The Currier block was sit
uated across a narrow street and only
separated from the Strout block by 70
feet. 1t soon caught fire and the fire.
men poured four streams on the fire
from the top of the building.
At this time the Strout dve-story
building was a mass of fire. Streams
were being constantly poured on the new
Fabens block on the opposite side of
Union street and also on the Titus and
Buckley four-story brick buildings ad-
joining.
The Strout and Blake blocks were in
ruins at 1890. The Currier Building, a
magnificent fve-story brick building,
caught several times, but the blaze was
quickly controlled. At 1910 a large part
of the Strout block fell on the the AL
mont street side, and the flames, darting
up, caught once more, and in a moment
the upper story of the Currier Block was
in flames.
At l0:45 the fire was under control in
the Currier Block and the building was
only partially destroyed. 1t was occu-
pied on the first floor by w. M. Currter g.
Co., clothiers, and on the upper floors by
offices Of lawyers, real estate dealers and
Others
E. E. Strout, owner of the largest build
ing totally destroyed, said the building
cost $40, 900; insured for $35, 900. 1t is
burned fat
1t is estimated that the loss on the two
blocks destroyed and that OF the Currier
Building, partially burned, together with
contents, will reach nsarlY 5000, 900.

the firemen appeared in new suits bat

A FoR7Y-DoLLAR MISTAKE.
Two Bidders for One Man at an Auction
Sale.

Two Bidders for One Man at an Auction
Sale.
An Iowa man, who is great lover Of
horses, and who keeps a grocery store
and livery-stable, was DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning n certain horse which was to be
disposed of at a public sale of n gentle
mans estate. He knew that it would
never do for him to bid in person, as the
auctioneer, aware of his weakness for
fine animals, would manage by one
means or another to run up the price.
The story is told in the Chicago Herald.
The grocer and livery-keeper ar
ranged to have another man bid off the
horse for him, but when the hour of the
sale arrived he felt that he must be
present and see to it that his instruc-
tions were carried out.
He arrived little late, and Just as
the horse was being sold. Yes, there
was his man Jones, true to his trust, in
the midst of the crowd that surrounded
the fine animal. Just at that moment
Jones bid one hundred and thirty-fve
dollars.
Some one must have Immediately
nodded five better, for in another mo-
ment Jones bid one hundred and fifteen.
From some unseen bidder the auction
eer received another advance of five
dollars.
That was as much as the horse was
worth, but Jones had orders to buy it
at almost any price, and he promptly
raised his offer to one hundred and
twenty. So matters went on till Jones'
bid was one hundred and thirty-five dol
lars.
At that point the Hvery-keeper
mounted box to see what fool wanted
the horse so badly. On the further
edge of the crowd stood Smith, and just
as he nodded another five, it flashed
upon the livery-keeper that he had told
Smith to do exactly what, in his forget
fulnesss, he had afterward instructed
Jones to do.
He lost no time in stopping the fun,
which had already cost him about forty
