Metropolis on tho Western Continent

NEW York, May 17.-Aftar their

sioners of the exhibit of the state of
New York left Chicago last Friday.
Those residing in this city were expect
ed to arrive here Saturday night, but
the special car attached to the train was
cut off at Buffalo and the Carty pro-
ceeded to Washington.
This change in the program was due
to the fact that the commissioners had
become so enthusiastic in worlds fair
matter that committee was appointed
to urge congress to grant the s., 000, 900
appropriation Chicago Is now asking Cor.
The committee will also ask the con-
gressional worlds fair committee to use
its influence TO change the date Of the
dedicatory services from October ~ to
October 81. The committee, consisting
of Richard Delafeld, James w. Tappin
and Louis W. Rowland, returned from
Washington late Sunday night.
Should Have All They Want.
Mr.. Delafield was made spokesman of
the party. He said:
I'VE have not the slghtest doubt now
that the appropriation of 5000, 900
which Chicago Is asking from the gov
eminent will be granted We have re-
ceived assurances that such will be the
case. In fact it must be so. There has
been an idea afioat that New York has
prevented the appropriation passing
through congress. This is not So New
York is going to help Chicago to get it..
Here we call Chicago the windy city
because we don't know anything about
it. After an inspection of the world
fair grounds one can grasp the immense
amount of public spirit and generosity
which has resulted in the erection of
such memorials 10 this country's great
ness and prosperity. The Chicago peo-
ple have done all they could to help the
fair.
Success would cetainly attend the
exposition even if the government re-
fused this appropriation, but 1t is best
that aid should come from it. The fair
is national enterprise, not local one
The western city has treated New York
well. The best spot in jackson park
has been reserved for this states exhibit.
Chicago has all along thought that New
York would finally come into line, and
though munificent offers have been
made for the space, she has reserved it
for this state

The History of a Timepiece That Z

| It was at the time when the leaves wers
| beginning to turn in November that
Henry Smith made the startling discovery
that his watch had stopped.
He wound it up, tapped it gently with
his knuckles and then shook it, but it only
| licked few times in a sickly way, and
then it stopped again.
1T needs cleaning and new balance
staff" said the watch doctor to whom be
took it.
"You may do the work" Henry said
''How long will it talle?"
about d week" replied the watch
maker. "ln the meantime you may carrg
this watch. and he handed out small!
silver timepiece which wound with key
I One week from that day Henry Smith
again sought the shop of the matchmaker
to get mis- watch. The proprietor of the
shop assured him smilingly that the work
was not yet completed, and told him to call
around in three or four days. When the
longer time had elapsed Henry Smith
called again and was told that the watch
maker had been very busy-so busy, in
fact, that he hadn't done Mr.. Smiths work.

Days became weeks; weeks rolled into

watch at stated intervals. He always re-

out by small, silver, key wind watch
which reposed in the pocket of Henry

was much sought after and had multi

its white face like some ghost of the dear,
