BuLL-FIGHTING IN CHICAGO.
One of the Latest Worlds Far Attrac
tions.

One OF the Latest Worlds FAR Attrac-
tons
Abull fight is soon to be announced
as one OF the features for next year
A real, sure-enough bull fight, too,
with rnatadors, toreadors, banderillas,
picadOrs, and untamed steers.
And. what is Of more importance,
it is intended that the fight shall be
given right ia Chicago. a local COM
pany will be formed, a great amphi-
theater will be erected, and the most
expert fighters Of Spain viii be i'm
ported. Aud, if anything were
needed to emphasize the impudence
Of foreigners, it was furnished when
the humane society was overlooked
and an application made to the expo
sitiOn company for a concession.
Blythe side Of this the Sunday clos
ing and the liquor questions pale into
insignifcance. New resolutions will
have TO be drawn up, Rew petitions
signed, and at its next meeting the
national commission will have to
listen TO a new lot OF orators.
The matador really does intend TO
invade Chicago. But the ~bIll-6ght
he wishes to make is child's play com
pared to that INDUCED in by Spain,
Cuba or Mexico. Last week an APP
plication was filed with the ways and
means committee for a privilege for
the fights to be given at Jackson
Park. The gentleman who desires to
arrange for the concession viii guar
antee that all cruelty win be abol-
ished. The bulls horns will be so
padded as to make il impossible for
the animals to do any goring. They
will also wear upon their backs pad
ded blankets, into which the small
spears win be hurled. The picaders
win carry blInted lances, and the
swords Of the matadors will be mere
stage swords, arranged 50 that the
blades will curl back into the handle
instead Of catering the bull when the
death blow is given.
1t is hardly probable that the expo
sition viii give a concession, as there
is a lack Of space at The park. But
the fights will take place just the
same, and it may be win prove as
nonnlar 5 they are in Madrid.

New ST. Louis.

"St. Louis is already the fifth in
size among the cities of the land. and
would be the fourth il Brooklyn were
rated what she is in fact-a bedcham.
Der of New York" writes Mr.. Julian
Ralph in Harper's Magazine. He
tells about the remarkable second
growth which the fine old city has
taken on within the past ten years.
The inhabitants now claim a popula-
tion OF $780, O0, and even its rivals do
not deny to st. Louis 40, OO0residents
Mr.. Ralphis story illustrates strik-
ingly what a city may become when
its own citizens begin to hustle for if.
A few years ago progressive men Of
st. Louis began TO consider that their
city was getting left in the march Of
progress. They resolved it should
not be. The Merchants exchange
inaugurated the new movement with
a boom. They began to advertise
their city. They started the Autumn
nal Festivities association, which pre-
pares a sort Of Columbus celebration
for St. Louis every fall, coming just
after the leading crops are harvested.
1t has brought TO the town money,
fame and business.
A new tide Of migration has set
toward the southwest in the past de-
cade. This passes through st. Louis
and leaves IFS contribution as it goes.
The city is the heart OF a vast agri-
cultural and mining territory, whose
future development cannOt be fixed
by the imagination at present. The
town is not all huddled together, but
its business district covers a large ter
ritOry. 1t has PA miles of street rail-
way tracks, and most Of them are
trayersed by electric and cable cars.
New York would open its eyes in
surprise at the size OF these electric
cars. Some ofthem are twice
as large as New York street cars.
But a stranger from the east feels
more at home in st. Louis than in
any other western city, Nj. Ralph
says. He hastens to explain, how
ever, that this is nothing against st.
Louis.
In a comparatively short time he
prophesies that the city on the Mis-
will have a million inhab-
itants. Her greatest manufacturing
industries are beer and tobacco. The
city has the largest brewery on the
continent, If not in the world, and
she is at the head Of the list in the
trade in chewing and smoking
tobacco.
ST. Louis has one hearts desire at
present. 1t is that the United States
government should so improve the
Mississippi river from St. AnthOny's
falls to the gulf that it will have a
channel ten feet deep at all seasons OF
the year.

About Your Breath.

The average human being get
about one-fourth as much air int,
his lungs as he needs: certainly ncr
more than that A lady who wa:
thought to have CONSUMPTION was
told TO begin and breathe slowly and
deeply. taking in az each breath all
the air her lungs would hold, breath
ing only through the nose. In twelve
hours a marked change for the better
was noticed. She coughed less than
she had done in a month; her eye
had a sparkle; her face had begun to
lose its parchment color. She had
the grit to continue the same deep,
slow breathing, and that was the end
Of her consumption.
1t is laziness that prevents us from
getting the air we need. 1t is a bore.
and troublesome at first to remember
to I'LL your lungs as full as they can
hold with air at each inspiration,
letting the resulting contaminated
air slowly and gently out at the nos
trils, but there is magic in it for the
individual who will continue. The
Bible saying that the breath is the
life is exactly true. We draw into
our bodies through the nostrils the
very spirit of life itself. Thin blood
Is so because it is starved for oxygen.
Give it plenty Of that to work on, and
its purifying fires will cleanse your
body and set you free. Good, rich
blood will take the place of the old,
thin fluid; your complexion
become white and red; your
whole being elastic. Try it. Take
n air like an OK drinking water-by
he pailful-and you will see what
wonders it win work. Then keep it

The size OF this mastadon sheet
was seventy by n hundred inches,
or almost f~orty-nine square feet,
eight pages, thirteen columns to the

f~orty-eight inches in length.
1t was illustrated with good
portraits of President James
Buchanan, Edward Everett, Henry

wIrHappESEn.
The Chicago Inter Ocean Think 1t
Knows.

Knows.
The democrats will claim that
there has been a charge Of sentiment
In the agricultural dictricts regarding
protection. They have all through
the campaign claimed that the
farmers were in favor OF tariff for
revenue only. The election of Cleve-
land does not prove this. 1t does not
show that the farmers are in favor OF
the democratic platform. Illinois is
a great agricultural state, and the
agricultural districts stood squarely
by the republican platform and the
republican candidates. But Chicago,
like New York, with a great floating
vote has overcome the farmer MAORI
ties for Harrison and Fifer. AS New
York state stands to-day for pro-
lection outside OF the great city, SC
does Illinois stand for protection out
side Of its great city. Ohio and Iowa
are great agricultural states, and
they are loyal 70 protection. Indiana
and Minnesota are agricultural
states, and they are republican.
Kansas and Nebraska are agricultural
states, and they are opposed to Ceye-
land.
The democratic victory is due to
two causes and they will both worry

republican party in the near future.
