a great deal more than the old company has en-
jOyed. The new company is TO be granted, &C.
cOrdng TO the bill, for period Of twenty years
ten acres OF ground at each of eight of the
most notable localities In the park. These

Men Gossips.

Talk about women gossips, they
are jewels compared to tho male rep-
resentatives OF that order, and I um
about ready to confess that the men
who gossip out-number the women
who engage in that occupation two
to one. That they are worse can be-
demonstrated. Men hear bits of fact
relating to business enterprises and
transactions in business and on these
bits through knowledge of business
methods, they are able to build stories
OF fabulous proportions, and stories,
too, which bear tho test OF legal ex-
animation and cross examination.

WORLDS FAIR GUARDS.

How the Columbian Guard VIII He Cont
stituted.
When visitors enter the worlds fair
grounds next year they will find q Cos
lumbar guard of fifteen hundred men
to protect them in their w~anderings
about the grounds and buildings. The
guards will not have the appearance OF
the policemen who travel beats in the
city Of Chicago, but each will be clothed
In a natty uniform of blue, consisting
of a braided blouse and trousers, with
bright red stripes They will wear a
fatigue cap modelled somewhat after
an Austrian design, and carry a ma
hogany mace and q short bayoret
sword.
These men will be under the direc-
ton of Col. Edmund Rice, u. s. A. Col.
Rice will be the commander of the
guard and have general police super
vision over the grounds during the
period Of the fair. In order to secure
his services a special act of congress
was necessary, and it was passed, for
the colonel belongs to the department
of the Missouri, with headquarters at
Chicago, where he has been under Gen.
Miles as acting judge advocate.
Col. Rice Is the hero of more than d
score OF battles in which he participated
in the late war, and as a consequence OF
which he received a number of wounds.
He entered the service at the age of
nineteen as captain OF the Fourteenth
Massachusetts,. In 1862 he was pro-
noted to major, and at the battle of
Gettysburg was twice wounded in the
repulse Of Pickett's charge. On that
occasion he plunged forward with his
command, and is credited with being
chiefly instrumental in %repelling Pick
ett's assault. In reward for this service
he was last year given a medal by con
gress, the inscription of which read:
1.-THE congress to Lieut.. Col. Edmund
Rice, Nineteenth Massachusetts Volun-
teers, for conspicuous bravery on the
third day Of the battle of Gettysburg"
No sooner had the colonel taken hold
OF the work several weeks & than he
discharged b number of men whom he
found lettering on their routes ind gen.
orally inattentive to rules. He wasn't
long in Strengthening out the two hum
dred men whom he has under his di-
rection at present and establishing n
system of discipline that causes every
man to ''toe the mark"
The Columbian guards will be a fine
body of men. No one can enter the
service whose age is more than thirty
five years. The applicant must be In
telligent and active. He must be
courteous as well as muscular and capa-
BILE of giving information concerning
the grounds and buildings to all In

favors the election Of President OF the

which is considered by many q much
better way than that OF choosing
