First Ward Republican clubs have
declared war against each other
Last Saturday night the Republican
club of the ward met at the Sherman
House for the purpose of electing
officers. Before its members separ-
ated angry words, fierce looks, wild
gesticulations, and even blows were
exchanged The meeting began in
peace and harmony. Charles Wathier
presided and Isaac NJ. Powell acted
as Secretary. The Committee on
Nominations presented the following:
President, James r. b. Van Cleave;
Secretary, Isaac n. Powell; Treasurer,
+. p. Gleason Immediately there was
shout of Indignation. One member
spoke of "sandbagging," and others
used equally uncomplimentary ex-
pressions. A colOred member arose
to speak. A white one arose at the
same time His antagonist went
under the table. The names men
toned were put to the meeting.
The Chairman declared that the Off
GERS were duly elected There was
loud cry for a division, but the de
mand was unheeded. The support
ers of the committee then left the
room. Those remaining held anoth
er meeting. 1t was resolved thai
those present organize another club
and the following officers were elect

HE WANTS THEM ELEVATED.

Kouor Harrison Exp aims His Position on
the Subject of EieUated Tracks.
Mayor Harrison said the other day
that the inhabitants of the Twenty
ninth and Thirtieth Wards were mis-
taken in thinking he was opposed to
elevating or depressing railroads
within the city limits. On the con-
trary, he said he was the first to sug-
gest those methods, but as it would
involve legal fight of ten to fifteen
years to force the railroad companies
to adopt them he was, in the mean
time, in favor Of temporary vladucts
to put a stop to the loss of life at
crossings. The ONeill ordinance. he
said. could never be carried out with
the consent Of the people of the West
Side. The people who proposed II
did not stop to consider that there
was long line of railroad tracks or
the west bank Of the river extending
from 22d street to KinZie street ano
beyond Kinzie street approaching ant
running upon the east bank of the
river. If those roads were elevated
it would put them up to the level o
the approaches Of the bridges, ant
would make of them surface roads al
far as street travel was concerned.
Mr.. Harrison thought the bette
plan would be to employ competen
engineers to study the problem anC
devise the most practicable means 0
solving it.

If there is any city in the world
with a greater amount OF snobbery
than New York it is Washington.
There is quite dispute in "sassiety"
circles,o of that municipal corporation
as to whether the accent should be
placed on the first or last syllable of
Postmaster General Bissell's name. A
similar discussion arose in 1885, when
Colonel w. +. Villas, now United
States Senator from Washington, was
appointed Postmaster General. At
the national capital crowd of snobs
with extra creased trousers assured
him that his name should be pro-
nounced "Nelaw." The Democratic

his name was villas, OF honest Yer

LIBRARIAN SPOFFORD'S MEM
DRY.

The prodigious memory of Librarian
Alusworth Spofford of the Congress
sional Library, his remarkable ability
to locate any book among the hun.
dreds of thousands under his charge
and his familiarity with the contents
of most of them are well known.
In a chat with the Star representative,
Assistant Postmaster General IL. Clay
Evans related an interesting instance of
Mr. Spofford's ability.
General Lew Wallace, while dining
with me some years ago." said General
Evans, "told me how he got someof the
material for the chapter which deals
with the chariot race between Ben HUI
and Messala. He doubted if there ex
listed a book in the United States thai
contained what he wanted and referred
to his particular matter and at The
period-2J b. C.--but concluded that il
it was not in the Congressional Library
Mr.. SpOfford could aid him.
"Ilc came to Washington and saw Mr..
Spofford, explaining what he wanted
No book was on the shelves of the Con
gresslOnal Library that would aid him,
he was informed, and there was but one
book ia the United States that had any
bearing npon the subject.
{" You will find it, said Mr.. Spofford,
'in the Atlleneum Library in Boston.
/ don't remember its title; in fact, it has
none. 1t is an old, plainly bound vol

you he hasn't it, but lac has, because

The Rock of Gibraltar.

The rock, outwardly so harmless in
appearance, has been tunneled with
wonderful ingenuity and at an enormous
expense. There are three tunnels, one
above another, and all connected at inter
walls by heavy iron gates. They contain
over two thousand cannon, facing as
many loop-holes. The view from some
of these loop-holes is unrivaled. Here
the eye sweeps over the Atlantic and the
beautiful Mediterranean at the same
time. and also two quarters of the globe.
The highest point is l,430 feet above the
level of the sea, and is called the Signal
Ell Hacko. The rock is three miles long
and from one-h half to three-quarters of
mile wide. 1t is six miles in circumfer-
ence. The extreme end of the rock fac

Brave Hannah sueIL

There have been many women war
riors in the world, but it must be ad.
mitted that there have been very few
whose deeds were such as to claim the
admiration of the country for any
great length of time. In the annals
of women's warfare there are gener-
ally stories of overzealousness, lead
ing to fanaticism and subsequent pun
ishment and disgrace.
Seldom, indeed, has a woman war
rior been gratefully recognized by the
government of her country. Within
the memory of our grandparents there
lived in England a woman named
Hannah Smell, who, when but q girl.
took the strange resolution of enlist
ing as a soldier. She served as q ma
rine on one of the vessels of feet
bound for the West Indies, and showed
SO much courage that she was repeat
edly promoted Her sex was unknown,
and therefore it could never be claimed
that Hannah SHELLS success was due
to partiality or favoritism.
Once, when dangerously wounded,
she extra cted the ball herself, fearing
that she might be discovered and dis
charged. After long service she re-
turned to her native home at Worces-
ter, England, where her adventures
soon became spread abroad. The gov
ernment, on investigation of her really
great career, granted her a pension of

The physical beauty of women should
last until they are past fifty. Nor
does beauty reach its zenith under tho
age of thirty five or forty. Helen of
Troy, comes upon the stage at the age
of forty. Aspasia was thirty-six when
married to Pericles, and she was a
brilliant figure thirty years thereafter.
Cleopatra was past thirty when she
met Antony. Diane de Poictiers was
thirty-six when she won the heart of
Henry II. The king was half her age,
but his devotion never changed. Aune
of Austria, was thirty-eight when de-
scribed as the most beautiful woman
in Europe. Nine. de Maintenon was
forty-three when united to Louis and
Catherine of Russia, thirty-th three when
she seized the throne she occu-
pied for tblrty-five years. Mile. Mar
was most beautiful at forty-five, and
Nine. Recamier between the ages Of
thirty five and ffty-five.

BY an inn OF widest Norway,

BY an inn of widest Norway,
A dark ford telow,
And the peaks of Norska Field above
In o waste of cleaning snow:
And, between the Somber tir trees,
The mead where the kline feed free,
And O mountain torrent leaping down,
To be lost in the mRlstrcm sea:
There, in narrow garden.
One breezy August morn,
] saw, beside its hardy flowers
A cluster of Indian corn.
And said to blue-eyed Lena
With braided fiaxen hair,
The child of the inn who had brought me forth
To see her small parterre:
ssYour land lies far to the frozen north,
And day your summer spans
Why do you plant the tropic maize
When frost the harvest bans?
Barley and oats and rye you may reap
Ere yet the SHOWS fall cof1,
But the stately maize, the grain of the sun,
VIII never yield its gold -
IT'S true, =" the maiden answered,
THAT frost our harvest bans;
But we plant the beautiful waving maize
To pleasethe Americans.
They smile when they see its shining leaves,
And say on their boundieSS plains
1t grows like forest. rich and tall.
In thu warmth and the mellow rains:
And the bins are filled with fes blessed gold
Before the bright year wanes.
~Oh child" said, ''you have planted WE'LL"
nd I thought that August morn.
AS ,ooked at peak and stream and tree,
Tho dark ford and the grassy lea.
There was nought so fair on shore or sea
AS that cluster Of waving corn.
