HOt an Upstart.


Public men, if they are to be success
full, must learn to stife personal preju-
dices. Prince Talleyrand, who shifted
his politics so skillfully that he served
under several distinct and contradictory
political systems in France, learned this
lesson very early.
When M. Theirs, who was of humble
origin, began to rise in the world, Tai
leyrand treated him with great consid-
eraticn. This greatly displeased high
bred lady of the princes acquaintance.
"Whatr' she exclaimed; do you re-
ceive this upstart?"
"Madam." Talleyrand answered, "he
is not an upstart He has got up
Youths Companion.
No one can deny that it is extremely
impolite to tell man outright that he
lies, but there should lSe some eXpedient
at such times to show shat we are not
quite the fools we are taken to be.-Ex-

There are to be no ignoramuses in the
English journalism of the future. A
special committee of the institute of the
profession has prepared a report in
which it is recommended that candi,,
dates to membership must pass an ex-
animation in (a) the English language,
(b) English literature, (c) English con-
stitutional and political history, (d) po-
htical and physical geography They
must also have sufficient knowledge"
(e) of Latin, IT. either French or Ger
man, and ''some acquaintance with
(g) universal history But perhaps the
most important recommendation of all
is that every candidate shall be examined
in 1.-The principles of the law of news
paper libel" This is certainly a poser,
and any journalist who succeeds in
showing that he has mastered the law
of libel will be well worthy of all the
honors which his colleagues can be-
stow. The only addition that can be
suggested is an examination in the law
of newspaper copyright But who would
be competent to examine?-Pau Mall

giants among their burly brothers of
stone. This building era was called
into life by a demand for light and
clean offices, but it was never supposed,
when first started, that the craze would
extend to public buildings.
We are informed that the county of
Cook contemplates the erection of a
new criminal court building, which, in
it's way, is to be a veritable sky scraper.
The history of the old Cook County
criminal court building is rich in Incl
dents that have become of national i'm
portance. In it's halls the famous anar-
chist trial took place, and in the jail
yard adjoining the venerable pile Par
sons and his colleagues paid with their
lives for teaching doctrines which, if
generally accepted, would lead to the
downfall of free institutions.
The new building, which is TO take
the place of this historic court house,
will cover an area having 2O4 feet front
on Michigan street, by IS feet on Dear
born avenue. 1t will rest on a founda-
ton of cement and will be seven stories
high. The facade of the first two sto-
ries will be of blue Bedford stone and
the remaining five stories will be buff in
color and of the same material of rock,
finished and laid in ten by twelve inch
courses. The main entrance is to be
elaborately carved in stone. The into
riOr viii be constructed of steel beams
and the archways and partitions sup
ported and encaSed by handsomely fin
ished columns treated to represent mar
bic. The corridors are to be finished in
mosaics, wainscoted with selected mar
bles. Private rooms will be supplied for
the judges, states attorney and other
court officials. The five upper floors
will be divided into ten court rooms,
each about forty-eight feet square, with
light and air from both sides, thirteen
jury-rooms, ten waiting rooms, besides
large offices for various purposes. At
the top of the building will be the
grand-jury room and ante-room FOR wit
neSSeS.
The new building OF the Young Mems
Christian association also belongs to the
Chicago type of architecture. Work
men are now busy on this handsome
structure, which will be thirteen stories
high and cover the 81 by 116 feet former
ly occupied by Farwe1 hall, together
with an addition of 81 by rs feet Sc
cured by the association at fair price.
The only part of the building that will
have street frontage will be "a feet on

frances are supplied on a small thor
oughfare known as the Arcade court.

MRS. HARRISoN'S CONDITION.

Her Physician Pronounces Her Case Hope
less, Although She May Live For Months.
WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-In converse
ton with a relative of Mrs. Harrison
yesterday as to her condition and pros
poets, DR.. Gardner said:
1.-THE case is without hope Mrs.
Harrison will never arise from her bed
again There is, however, no telling
when she will die 1t may come in a
day, a week, month, or she may live
as long as two years However, every
body should be prepared for the worst
any time"
On being asked as to the condition of
''As has been said all along by me, the
imminent, pressing trouble right now
is her lungs 1t is the lung trou BILE
which holds her down and is dragging
her down"
Dr.. Gardeners attention was called to
the fact that Mrs. Scott-Lord, Mrs
Harrison's sister, had died OF cancer of
the stomach and that the malady was
thought to be hereditary in her family.
Mrs Harrison may have cancer of the
stomach" said DIR. Gardner. Cancer
of the stomach is not always discover
able, and especially in its first stages,
but at least this is not what is bearing
her down at this time 1t is the lung
affection which has now a hold upon
her"
No unusual change has taken place.
Mrs Harrison Was resting quietly with
the aid of opiates- There is no credence
to be placed in the stories that her con-
dition Is better.

chief made me a courteous sign tn at he
gave me the first shot; and Thursday,
translating, said: ''Wsit until he has
passed the trunk of that palm; and
above all, do not miss him!''
The tree he meant was not more than
twenty PAGES from US. L raised my
rifle carefully; the gorilla was APP

breast; he had hardly crossed the line
when my rif1e-shot rang through the
forest, and the huge brute fell without
a cry.
The report had been deafening.
sprang forward to see the effect of the
explosive ball, but Thursday held me
back.
''Look OUT he cried; she may have
some life in him; and one blow from
his ta1on-like fingers would lay you
open like a squirrel"
The advice was too good to be disre-
garden, though from my experience in
shooting with this terrible form of am
munition l felt sure he was dead; for
never have seen an animal live if the
ball once reaches him. And indeed
this case proved no exceptions; the 60
rilla was dead.
On measuring him, we found his
waist nearly two yards in circuInfer-
ence, proving him to be one of the
largest of his species.-Whole Family.

'Don't shoot until I give the word"
whispered the chiefs. 1t was not time
to dispute such singular command, so
1 merely waited with my gun ready.
The monster was about fifty PAGES in
front of us, and could easily have shot
him where he stood, but resisted the
temptation. Whenever 1 have hunted
in Africa with the native chiefs 1 have
always made it a rule to follow their
suggestions .implicitly-with due re-
gard, of course, to my own personal
safety. You can be pretty sure that
these men, used as they are to the wild
beasts in their forests, viii not give un-
necessary advice; and / have always
found it paid in the end.
The gorilla had dropped upon all
fours-the attitude in which he travels
most easily-but sight of us renewed
his fury in an instant. He stood erect
on his long limbs, and. with roar that
shook the forest, advanced slowly,
but without hesitation, toward us, beat
ing his breast with his arms. This
seemed favorite gesture with him, for
in the ten minutes we had been watch
ing him he had three times made use of
it. I cannot better describe the noise
accompanying it than to compare it to
the native tam-tams, as played in the
chest tremendous blows in rhy thmical
way, broken by perfect roulades of
roars, and his eyes flashed fire. The

a reading-room. an employment bureau
and other institutions calculated to
prove of benefit to young men.
The management of the association
has always been in the hands of enter

and late to make il self-sustaining- For
years they have endeayored TO lay aside
a nest egg for building fund and.
when the old hall became too small for
the purpose for which it was intended,
they were ready to undertake the con-
struction of the building about to be

sixth floors are to be devoted to the

Offices of the general board Of the aSso-
citation and the class rooms will occupy
the seventh floor. The remainder OF
the building is to be rented for Office
purposes.
The entire structure will, of course,
be fireproof, or as near hreproof as it
can be made. It will cost, when COM
pleted, $500, 900, and it is now supposed
that the association will be able to
move into its new home by the first of
next May.
The Chicago Historical society, which
for sixteen years has occupied a ram

at last in securing building site and

peculiar purposes of the association.

As can be seen from. the picture, the
building will present not only hand

On the first floor will be the lecture

the building is that the lecture room
and picture gallery extend upward two

floor include directors quarters and a
room for the curios and historical
works. In the basement will be :. sup

maize and corn. Through the foliage
we caught glimpses of hazy mountains
far away on the horizon. My guide
said they were wooded hills, the haunt
of gorillas and elephants, where he had
always found plenty of game.
Nothing can be more lovely than the
African forests early in the morning
We were threading narrow trails,
hardly disturbed by the bare feet of
the native hunters, between endless
hedges of banana and young palm trees
covered with their golden and savory
fruit; while between their trunks we
could see long stretches of green, wavy
grass, soft as velvet, in the morning
light.
Soon the cultivation ceased. and the
land for miles was covered with pepper
plant and Towering tulip, filed with
brilliant paroquets that flew away
with sharp notes at our approach. On
all sides of us, and within a space a
few hundred yards square. were all
the most singular tropical varieties Of
the equatorial flora. If / had simply
followed my tastes I should have i'm
mediately given up my plans for hunt
ing and have remained in this bot
anists' paradise, adding to my herbari-
uan. Butt was equipped with rifles
and cartridges, and ii was too late to
aGger the object of my journey.
We camped that evening in another
native village, and the next morning
really entered the unbroken forest. 1t
was now necessary to observe the
greatest caution, as at any moment we
might meet a tiger, a panther or a
gorilla
However. before night we arrived
without adventure of any kind at the
Fan village whence Thursday came.
The chief, to whom he introduced me,
shook hands in the European fashion
and asked me if / had not a present for
him. This wassa sure sign that civili-
cation had reached as far as this town,
at least l gave him an old pistol, at
which he seemed greatly pleased, and

Especial Chicago Letter.1

Chicago architecture, by which Il
meant structures reaching into the very
skies, is making the metropolis at the
foot of Lake Michigan even more IA
nous than its worlds fair. The tech
nical papers of Europe have sent
representatives to this city to examine
into the strength of the new style of
architecture which. as everybody knows
by this time, depends on foundations
placed on railroad iron and cement,
and on iron superstructures. Wood
does not enter into the tal1est buildings,
and much surprise has been excited
among believers in old ideas that so
much strength and durability rest in
gigantic structures which look like
veritable skeletons, and in reality are
