THE CHICAGO Raj WAYS

CHICAGO, August 5.-General Passen-
ger Agent Charlton, of the Alton road
and Chairman Finley, of the Western
Passenger association, had a fresh tilt to-
day. The chairman, with remarkable
persistence, again presented bill for $3.50
against the Chicago and Alton for its pro-
portion of the expenses of the association
for the month Of June, 1891 and urged
prompt payment. Mr. Charlton reDlied:
As you did nothing for us in the month
OF june except to leave us without pro-
lection. and by disingeuuous proceedings
delay independent action on our part TO
protect ourselves, | do not see what claim
you have against rs You did no work
for us, but did work against Us. and we
hardly care 10 pay you for that Ii YOU
can, IL violation of the agree
ment arbitrarily exclude us from
the association when YOU please
are not we equally at liberty to stop nav
ing when we please Considering the
damage that has been inflicted upon rs by
the lack of proper protection to which we
We're entitled, aud our delay in indepepd-
emily protecting ourselves. oCcRSioned by
your course in leading Us to believe that
you intended TO take action. il seems to
me that we have claim for damages
against you, instead OF you having anv
claim against Us.
Apparently this leaves the association
with but two alternatives open TO it, One
Is to institute legal proceedings against
the Alton for the amount named in the
bill; the other Is TO drop the whole matter
and reapportton the expenses Of The asSo-
citation for the month of June with the
Alton left out Il Is not considered likeiy
tnat the hrsJ OF these alternatives vii! be
adopted.

The Monkey at the Wedding.

The popularity of familiar sights in un-
familiar places was instanced at wedding
in one of the small interior villages of
western New York It was a noon house
wedding at the show residence of the place,
and the reception following the ceremony
was in progress when down the road came
man with hand organ and monkey. At
tracted by the persons strolling about the
lawn and piaZzas, the fellow stopped and
began his melodies with monkey accom-
paniment.
Everybody was interested, and soon from
indoors the guests began to wander out,
drawn by the spirit Of the multitude. which
was evidently centrifugal. The bridal party
found themselves deserted, and at last sue
cumbed to the general movement and fol-
lowed the others, the bride even yielding to
her feminine curiosity and coming out
with the rest on the piazza.
The monkey outdid all previous perform
ances in his line. He climbed awnings,
ran up and down vine treIlises, and capped
the climax and uncapped himself at the
top of tall fagpole in the center of the
lawn. Meantime the orchestra inside,
playing to empty rooms, put aside its in
struments and assisted by it's silent pres
ence the rival entertainment.
Most of the guests were city people. A
large party was from New York Proba-
bly, not five out of the entire company
would have crossed street at home to
watch monkeys antics. In these altered
circumstances, however, the same thing
amused them for half an hour, and when
the swarthy impresario took up, with his
company of one, the line of march it was
with pockets fairly heavy with the silver
showered upon him-Her Point of View

The Little Flower Enthusiasts.

Three little Irish girls from tenement
house, whom the Listener once led to a
garden where they might pluck as many
flowers as they chose, prattled on for at
least an hour, when they had got over be-
ing speechless with delight, about nothing
at all but the flowers that they had rescued
from the withered bouquet which certain
lady threw out of her win low. Just
think of it, mister" one of the girls said,
"she chucks 'em right out into the ash
heap when they're little wiltedl l don't
see how she can do it, but Pm glad she
does, and watch hours every day to see
ii she's goin' to chuck any out"
We talk of the sun and air as free gifts
of God to all mankind. Are they so, when
into the lap OF one person fall the flowers,
those creatures Of sun and air, still wet
with dew, while another, gifted no less
freely with the love of beauty, waits with
eager eyes for the chance to take the flow.

"This," said Colonel Clawtrap as be
gazed upon the pleasant surroundings Of
his suburban home, sis what we call a re-
stricted reighborhood. No man can buy
lot here unless he will agree not to build
boiler factory, powder mill, nor any
other kind Of manufacturing establish
ment that might have tendency to dis
turb the quiet Of the DeighborhOod or to
mar its rural aspect. You can imagine ny
amazement, therefore when / found upon
my return from two months absence in
the west that a calliope factory had been
started here
Nobody had ever thought of specifically
prohibiting calliope factories any more
than they had OF prohibiting shipbuilding
or the manufacture Of soup ladies, but
here it was. The building had formerly
been a private residence, and it still had
that appearance, but the evidence of its
present use was unmistakable. You might
put flowers around the crater Of volcano
and call it fountain, but that would not
change its real character.

The Ba asebaIl Girl.
TELEPHONE 335.

She's very swagger maiden, Of figure rather
tall,
And she doesn't talk like other girls, but only
of baseball
She's pert, and sometimes pretty. when she
speaks about the game,
And she thinks to be pitcher is the highest
need of fame.
She'll clap her tangloved hands in glee to cheer
splendid hit,
And sometimes when her side has won she'll
fiirt little bit;
But if you speak the love that does your fool
ish heart enthrall,
She'll tell you you must join nine and study
to play ball.
She talks of "fys" and liners in a manner
that is pat
She can tell you in a minute who 1t is that's at
the bat;
She dotes on Keefe and Connor and raves about
their curves"
And you'd really think she had been construct
ed without nerves.
For she doesn't mind it if foul comes spinning
to her sde
She catches it and sends it back, and looks
quite gratified.
She's up on all the double plays and marks them
on her cuff;
But she cannot keep score card though she
makes a splendid bluff.
Beware of the baseball maiden and her fetch
ing little ways;
She's deadier than the summer girl that now in
ambush lays;
She comes in with the springtime, and there's
mischief in her eye;
And though she doesn't look it she's most in-
tensely fly.

The AIf-UIlah-hf.

There is so much that is similar TO Chris
tianity in this religion that am tempted
to hazard this suggestion, that the Ali
Ullah-hi are branch of decayed Chris
tians; so many branches occur in this dis
trict-the HISTORIANS, the Chaldeans and
the old Assyrian churches; it is not there
fore difficult to imagine how the ignorant
and nomadic mountaineers would substi-
tute the name of Ali for that of Christ, to
prevent themselves being prosecuted by
the followers of Ali or the Mohammedans
of the Shah sect, who ruled in these parts.
In the lapse of ages in their mountain
Businesses, without educatiIn and priest
hood, they would naturally get hopelessly
and lamentably mixed. The very name of
Nazere is suggestive of Nazarene; the pass
over, the baptism, and the curious fellow
ship between them all tend to substantiate
the theory. Many of the Eeliauts, or wan
dering tribes, who come from a distance
to pasture their fiocks in the summer
months, belong to this sect, Of which Sar-
mas Beg and his sons are said to be shin
ing lights.
The orthodox MOhammedans attribute
to this sect many secret and horrible
crimes; they are said to be communists
Later on, at a village called Ilkatchee, we
met a Seid who had been converted to
Christianity by American missionaries, al
though he renounced thereby the chief po-
sition in his village and leader Of the sect,
which he had inherited from his father,
and exposed himself to dire prosecutions

GERMANY AND THE FAIR.

BERLIN, August 5-The Chicago worlds
fair commissioners had another confer
ence today with Herr Wermuth the Ger
man imperial commissioner to the world's S
fair, in regard TO the details concerning
German exhibits. The conference lasted
three and half hours During the course
of the conference Herr Wermuth referred
to the space that would be necessary for
the use of the German exhibitors. The
commission informed him that the build
ings that would be allotted to Germany
would be of sufficient size to allow the
German government and manufacturers
all the space they would need, and that
taere would be further space given IN the
buildings should the demands of the ex-
hibitols be larger than now expected
Almost all questions arising from Ger
many's desire to have an excellent exhibit
were discussed. The arrangements made
to allow of the securing of special sites for
buildings of a national character were also
fully discussed, and Herr Wermuth eX-
pressed himself thoroughly satisfied with
the foresight displayed by the directors of
the fair in providing for all possible CON
tingencies. The commissioners are still
the recipients of much official attention

honor by DIR. van Boetticher, secretary Of

An Odd Phrase.

One of the odd phrases which everybody
uses-a still odder one than every now
and then"-is the phrase quite few" by
which we mean rather good many. Quite
a fewl If you look into that sentence you
find that it means exactly the opposite of
what you seek to express by it; that is, if
it means anything at all But no one will
have any right to quarrel with the SEN
tence if it once firmly roots itself in idiom
Perhaps it isn't intrinsically any funnier
than "a good many" Language is a
queer, go-as-you- please thing, especially
the English language; and that is the
beauty and strength of it.-Boston Tran
script.

Hand Power to Remove Pain.

A correspondent writes TO us very earn.
estly upon the subject of neglected natu-
| raj force-the power of the hand to remove
| pain and cure disease. All the ordinary
| ailments Of humanity, he says, such as
| headache, pain in the back, rheumatism,
etc, can be removed by gentle stroKing
with the tips of the fingers He is con-
vinced, also, that robust husband can do
much to bring a delicate wife back to
health by the same method. 1t may be so.
That is probably why young people, as
piring to matrimonial relations, sit about
the parks in couples, the males rubbing the
small Of the females back with his robust
arm, trying, no doubt, to endow her with
his own vitality. And further reason for
suspecting that our correspondent has got
hold of va liable principle is the fact that
in the moral sphere an analogous virtue
undoubtedly attaches to the power of the
hand. Nurses and nursery governesses are
well aware of this. When inbred sin
makes it's appearance in their young
charges they invariably expel the evil tend
ency by the hand
Operators differ considerable as to the
exact spot for the hypodermic injection,
but it is generally behind the left ear or
application midway between the shoulders,
or, indeed, anywhere that is handy; but
the principle underlying the treatment
called variously box, spank and slap
Is the same.
y distinguished supporter of this moral
method was once promenading her young
charge upon the beach at a French seaside
place, when her attention having been
temporarily diverted for half an hour or SO
by a local beau, the young charge took the
opportunity to try TO drown himself He
was rescued, however, dripping and fright
ened. and was receiving the enthusiastic
sympathy of all the French ladies around,
when-enter the French nurse, who with
out more ado grabbed her dripping young
gentleman by the arm and with Come
'ere, Master 'Eneryl" spanked him before
the assembled PLACE. That is the true
power Of the hand.-London Globe.

Last night, in the sweetest dream


Last night, in the sweetest dream.
saw my mothers face
Aglow with warmest leve,
As we met with fond embrace.
o brightest, holiest houri
Where lay thy mystic powerl
A wind sighed 'mong the leaves;
The clouds hid all the light;
My dream was DER. Ny heart still
grieves
For her who came last night.
This morn on a grassy mound,
The summer sun shines bright;
The lily lowly bends
Robed in her garments white.
The rose its petals cast;
Too sweet, too bright to last.
Sweet saint, serene and bright
To me the bliss was given
To lure her from her home of light,
But ere the morning skies were bright
She wandered back TO Heaven.
