In 1887 he left the city's service to
assume the management Of the West
Side railway under W. Russell Jones'
presidency. When Mr.. Yerkes' combi-
nation got control of the railroad Mr..
Cregier retired to private life, from
which he was summoned by his election
as mayor in 1880. During his term of
Office he seems to have sometimes emu
lated the renowned Haroun-al-Raschid,
whose Chief entertainment was found in
going about incog among his people,
and they still tell story of policeman
who had quarrel with constable over
a writ Of attachment and was reproved
by an s'elderly gent with flowing whis-
kers," who was locker on during the
alteration.
Larkin was the policeman's name, and
he greeted the "elderly gents" Gliding
with profane inquiry as to his identity,
greatly to the Indignation of the latter,
who came within an ace of officially de-
CAPTIVATING the impudent officer then and
there. Next day the papers printed a
portrait Of the mayor, and this made his
face so well known that his adventures
a la Haroun were no longer possible.
He is somewhat of q curio collector, and
the most highly priced article in his col
lection is rusty tin single from the
roof of 's11he Hermitage" the residence
of Andrew jackson, who is reputed to
have nailed it to the roof with his own
rugged hand. Mr.. Cregier is a member
of the Masons and great number OF
auxiliary organizations of one kind and
another.
Hampstead Washburne, the present
incumbent, is son of the late Elihu b.
Washburne, who was United States
minister to Paris during the Franco
Prussian war. He is thirty-nine, but
looks Younger, and smokes cigarettes,
greatly to the distress of some newspa-
per reporters. He is man Of property,
and during his service as chief magls-
trate of the Worlds fair city has OF
course received his share of criticism
by his opponents. His election, as above
indicated, came about through the rival
candidacy of two Democrats -Cregier

The Vanishing Couple

A fashion safe to stamp young girl
in general society as but i'll equipped
with knowledge Of good form is that of
vanishing" in company with her at
tendant after dance and remaining in
unfrequented corners until remark is
thereby created. Such is the young wo-
man whose chaperon is in continual spec
ulation as to her whereabouts or else i'll
active exercise to find her. She is no
doubt often innocent of intention to Of
fend, but at large and mixed entertain
ments the better part Of wisdom in wo-
man is to keep in view of her fellows.
A witty Frenchwoman, Mime. de Gira.
din, once wrote: "Amuse yourselves, 0
young beauties, but futter your wings
in the broad light of day. Avoid shad-
ows in which suspicion hides" The
vanishing woman" act should be linn
tied in performance to a platform in full
view of the audience. The prompt re-
turn of young woman to the side or
vicinity of her chaperon after dancing is
not only graceful and well bred action,
but affords an opportunity to the man,
who too often is EN- barrassed in this re-
spect, to withdraw and fulfill some other
engagement ladies Home Journal

WHY Milk Differs in Quality.

Milk is more susceptible to changes
from the normal condition than any
other food product. The first class of
changes has been brought about by the
action of breeders. By many years of
attention to breeding for fat production,
it is now possible to get milk which may
be twice as rich as the normal. On the
other hand, other breeders have paid
especial attention to production of large
quantity, even at the expense of quality,
until pure milk is sometimes produced
having as low as 10 per cent. of solids,
when the normal is IS per cent.
A second set of causes which influence
the quality of milk grows out of the ig-
norance or carelessness Of the producer
or seller. Where the persons held the
exploded idea of the value of one cows
milk for children any thing in the treat
ment of thecow which affects its nervous
temperament may unfit it for food for
very young children. Uncleanliness or
neglect is oftena grave source of trouble
in the handling Of milk, not only on ac-
count of the possibilities of the addition
of visible filth, but because milk is pc
culiarly susceptible to odor, various
kinds OF bacteria and disease germs
Epidenics of scarlet fever and typhoid
fever have been traceable to the milk
supply, unclean cans and other utensils,
and particularly to propagating bacteria

which Office he held for eight years.
When defeated in 1887 he was per-
haps the best hated man in Chicago by
| those who voted against him, and he de-
cided to leave his adopted city and travel
round the world. So picturesque fig
ure could not circumnavigate this globe
without attracting a good deal OF atten-
| ton. and he added to his fame by a re-
markabIy clever series of newspaper let
| tiers. When he returned to America he
was met by troop of reporters in New
| York, and his journey to Chicago was
one series of interviews. He published
book embodying his rowing expert
ences, which he entitled ga Race with
| the Sum-" He was charged with plagia-
rism and repealed the charge with his
customary vigor Then he wrote novel
which he called sThe Secret of the Big
| Rock"
In 1891 he ran for mayor against De
Witt G. Cregier, the then Democratic
| incumbent, and was charged with bad
faith in so doing. His candidacy de-
feated Cregier and elected Washburne.
The campaign was an extremely lively
one and numbered among its incidents
a fight with canes between Harrison
and Mike Mcdonald, the noted Chicago
gambler. Last year Mr.. Harrison bought
| the Chicago Times, and has had good
deal of fun ever since giving ''tit for
| tat to those newspaper men who had
heretofore had the whip hand of him in
print. He is tall and straight, keen
eyed, white haired and whiskered, and
is ready and persuasive talker. His
| daughter Lima, who married Mr.. Heaton
! Owsley, of Chicago, vindicated her par
entage by having the nuptials celebrated
in Trinity church, New York, on Fri
day, and her jewels were opals.
De Witt G. Cregier is three years adj
vanced on the ten that, added to three
score, make up the Scriptural span of
human life. He is native of New
York and was left an orphan at thir-
teen. When scarcely more than lad
he went to work in the engine room of a
Long Island sound steamboat, and later
was attached to the engineer corps of

pany plying between New York, New
/ Orleans and Havana. 1t was in 1858
that he took up his residence in the big
city by the lake, his object in going
there being to superintend the setting
up OF the big pumps of the city's water
supply For twenty-five years he acted
as chief and designing engineer of the
city waterworks, then for three years
served as city engineer, and then became
commissioner of public works, which
place he held for nearly four years.

New YORK, Dec. 15.-This year the
holiday presents in smokers goods are
especially unique. A lady the other day
went into one Of our leading cigar stores
and gave an order for cigarette holder,
amber, pink veined onyx, diamond and
ruby sparks price, 1915. Another pre-
holiday order is from well known resi-
dent at the Gilsey House, and consists
of a brier bowl and an amber stem ff-
teen inches long-price, $3.50. There not
being piece of amber that length in
the world, three pieces have to be special

Another well known man at the Ger
ZACH has lodged an order totaling nearly
81 500 with one firm for special lines,
and the great representative of the Aston
family has bought his Henry Clay and
Golden Eagle cigars at $500 per thou
sand for his friends, and special stock
Of his own favorite brand at seventy
dollars per thousand. This is not from
parsimony, but simply because the cigar
is more to his personal taste.

by which the students will live among
those they study.
The Congregational seminary at Hart
ford is the only other theological
school in this country to have such a
department, and that was established
by DR.. Taylor, but he now intends to
secure building in the quarter where
the most ignorant and vicious classes
abound and have his students live there.
Of course they Will not go there as mis-
sionaries, but will live among the peo-
pie, study their ways and learn to I'M
derstand and sympathize with them.
Twenty-Five students will constitute the
first seminary social settlement" as
they call it, and others will be estab-
lished as fast as experience indicates
the path of success.
Sociology is so new study that even
the name for it is condemned by experts
as misleading. Thereare yetno stand
ard authorities, and many savants de-
clare there is really no such science.
Nevertheless, as people do somehow get
together in social groups, and as each
group invariably develops certain traits
corresponding with the nature of its
units, there must be a natural law oper-
ating in this as in all other aggregations.
"Now," says DR.. Taylor, ''the fault in
educating ministers has been that the
student lived too far apart from the peo-
pie; hence this seminary social settle
ment.'" And certainly the experiment
will be watched with much interest,

Those of us who like Friday for vari-
GUS reasons, but chiefly because it leads
up to Saturday, upon which day schools
are closed, will be pleased to hear that
it is not half so unlucky day as Mon
day, the day school opens again. A Ger
man statistician, feeling that Friday had
been much rnaligned day, determined
to make scientific investigation Of the
matter, and found that it is not Friday
but Monday that is the most unfortunate
of the week days.
According to his Investigations 1874
per cent. of all accidents occur on Mon
day, 1881 per cent. on Tuesday, 1851 per
cent. on Wednesday, 16.47 per cent. on
Thursday, 1888 per cent. on Friday,
1888 per cent. on Saturday and only a.e9
