ceives his first application with a bored
air, but as they multiply with each mail
he feels his last years enthusiasm re-

Now come the money lenders from
the surrounding towns. They come
with a good many fifteen dollars in their
inside pockets: they return to their
plows, to their fishing smacks. to their
trades and to their banks with paper in
place of their hard earned dollars, bear
ing |, 2 and sometimes 3 per cent. a
month, and all coming due in August.
Money lending is probably carried on on
a bigger scale in Bar Harbor than in
any other place Of its size in the country,
and paper doubtless commands a great
er rate of interest.
Among the new cottagers expected
this year are Colonel Elliott F. Shepard,
Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer and Hon. Wayne

There is but one new cottage being built
at Bar Harbor this year. but that is a pa
latial affair for j. S. Kennedy, a New
York banker. 1t is situated near the
Vanderbilt estate and will be finished
early in July. 1t will eclipse in archi

TWO HANDSOME BUILDINGS.

One Is to be the Home of Chicago's
Public Library-Y. NJ. G. A. Structure.
Chicago is soon to have a magnificent
public library. The preliminary esti-
mates make the probable cost Of the
building 81 500, 900, and inasmuch as it
is to occupy the entire block bounded by
Michigan avenue, Randolph and WASH
ington streets, it is by no means improb-
able that even a larger sum may be re-
quired to complete the structure. The
location selected is thoroughly central.
The building will be a parallelogram,
with rectangular spaces which will
afford light and ventilation. About

Mr.. Murdoch is. at present the editor
of the Wichita Eagle, which is a very
iourishing journal. He is a native of
Virginia. but he, like many another
young man, took the advice which
Horace Greeley had not then given and
went west. He took part in the many
exciting events which made Kansas in
the early days of her statehood an ex-
ceedingly lively place to live in. In 1863
Mr.. Murdoch began his journalistic
career by establishing the ~Burlingame
Chronicle, which is still in existence.
In 1871, however, having made up his
mind that Wichita was destined to be-
come u great city at some time, he
moved there and started the Eagle.
which he still OWNS.
Then it was that Mr.. Murdock's abil-
ity as Il boomer" was first manifested.
Every issue of The Eagle fairly bristled
with adjectives descriptive of Wichita's
coming greatness. AS the city now has
a population of about 10000. it is to be
presumed that Mr.. Murdoch feels that
his methods and confidence have been
indicated. The ''boom editor is a
shrewd politician, too, and he has held
several Offices Of honor and profit in
Kansas, the most important being the
lieutenant g~overnorship and IA state SELL
atOrship.

HICAGOS SMILES
THE TREASURES OF THE EARTH
POURING INTO HER LAP.

She Is Repeating the Progress of Venice,
Culture Following wealth-She Gets
There with Equal Celebrity as a Sea-
port and as an Art Center.
Chicago has never called herself the
Paris of America or been even remotely
suspected of claiming to be a seaport.
She has so far contented herself with
having the l~iveliest board of trade and
most extraordinary changes in prices of
produce in the world, and incidentally
with the biggest fire. the quickest re-
covcry, the most rapid general growth
and the most phenomenal local politics
i'll all history.
Eut there is no telling what may hap
pen--in Chicago. The city now has a
valid claim TO some direct commerce
with Europe, and has made n splendid
start toward becoming an art center.
The local explanation of the long delay
i'll art culture is not particularly fiatter-
ing, but it reads like the cold truth.
Chicago people, say the a~pologists, have
heretofore not lived here-that is, not
~exactly-tlley have just sort o calnped

going somewhere else "a soon a. they got
rich. There has not been time for a
sentimental local patriotism to grow up.
There is plenty Of material for it too.
The site is fiat enough. but the history is
picturesque. The growth OF the city is
IA thrilling romance in itself. The first
printed notice Of the place appeared III
1888 in a map made in Montreal. Fort
Dearborn was built III 1904. Aug. II,
1912, occurred the massacre of the gar
rison. In 1880 the town was laid of: in
1881 it became il city. The rest you can
find III the encyclopedia. Local boomers
already speak of it as Il city with a mil
Lon II a quarter of people. The yac
figures are of little consequence. If it
has not SO many now il soon will have,
and rosy anticipation can ontrun fact
but little-in Chicago.

their welcoming friends sang the old
Viking songs, ending with the hymn,
the refrain of which has been thus trans
lated:
Yes, we love with fond devotion
Norway's mountain domes,
Rising storm dashed DER the ocean,
With their thousand homes.
The Wergeland, Captain Weise in
command, left Bergen April ~ and ar
rived at Montreal May s. In 1862 a
Norwegian sailing vessel reached Chi
cago, but not direct; another came in
1868, and still another in 1866, but the
Wergeland is the first steamer, and her
consignees claim to have demonstrated
that q direct trade is practicable and

AN INTERESTING RELIC.


drews Raid Has Been Reconstructed.
OF the many relics of the civil war
to be seen at the Chicago Worlds fair
few will excite more pathetic interest
than the famous General" the engine
with which James j. Andrews and his
squad of Federal scouts made their Won
derful run ON April l., 1862. The
world is familiar with their story.
Under orders from General o. NJ Mitch
ell they went down the Western and
Atlantic road TO break communication
between Chattanooga and the points
south and east. OF the twenty-five
raiders eight, including Andrews, We're
hanged, eight escaped, and the remain
ing six were exchanged in 1863.
