ChicagO's Big Gfvers.

From Harper's Weekly.
The immediate future Of Chicago Is an
interesting study for observers. All eyes
have been centered upon her now for six
months, and in a less degree for nearly
two years. Her purposes and her methods
Of carrying them out have been matters
Of national moment. 1t is hardly too much
to say that she has been the most import
ant city in the land, and of course she has
felt her Importance. What will become
of her now? Will she drop gracefully down
to hardpan, and become once more a COM
or will she keep right on, and strive by
tremendous hustling to maintain the CEN
trail and commanding position which was
lent to her by the fair? OF course that re-
mains to be seen, but she has given some
evidence already that she does not intend
to drop an inch farther than she can help.
Mr.. Marshall Fields subscription of a
million dollars to found a museum of nat
dication of her sentiments 1t is proposed
to make the museum memorial OF the
fair. and perhaps to house it in the art
building at Jackson Park. Mr.. Pullman
follows Mr.. Fields subscription with one OF
hundred thousand dollars, and doubtless
before this reaches the readers eye the
entire sum Of two millions called for will
be made up. What extraordinary givers
those Chicago men are! 1t Is exhilarating
even at this distance to see the superb con-
fdence with which they back up their
town. Other cities get requests now and
then. but Chicagos rich men have not had
time to die, and neither she nor they can
wait for that. They want to see that in
vestment in actual being. II any eastern
listener is holding his ear to the ground to
catch the thud Of Chicago's collapse, he
might as we'll get on his legs again and go
about his business. There isn't going to be
much of a thud. Those amazing hustlers
are still at 1t, and though their tide may
ebb a little for time, 1t is bound to flow
again in due season.

A Society Mans Predfcament.
From the Louisville Courier Journal

A very amusing story has just reached me
concerning prominent young society man
who has just returned from Chicago. He
was boarding at the home Of relatives while
there. and as large crowds came focking in
during the last week he was so accommo-
dating as to give UP his room and sleep on
a sofa in the parlor. One morning he over
slept himself, and as his door was I'M
locked, what was his surprise to find three
pretty Louisville young women enter the
room. He had presence of mind enough to
roll under the sofa and back into a dark
corner before they threw open the shutters.
But. although he had tucked himself away

the young women to leave him until he put

their embarrassment was great, and that

cred from the shock he has been unable to
restrain himself from telling a few friends
OF his awkward predicament.

THE CHARGES AGAINST POwDERLY.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ls.-This morn

While Mr.. Hayes declare he cansubstan-

The assembly will vote upon the matter
early next week.

labor and organized villains"
MIR. Sinexon further said that he could,
IL necessary, substantiate the charges which
Mr.. Hayes makes.
Should the General Assembly formally

will be the case, it Is regarded as very
probable that MIR. Hayes will be ousted and
his duties transferred to some member Of
the executive board.
The convention will adjourn about the
middle of next week

condition Of the Knights of Labor. Book

The bookkeeper continued: Although I
offered to indorse ii myself. it could not be
cashed. and -" At this juncture Sec
retary-Treasurer Hayes buttonholed the

The admonition had the desired effect and
Mr.. Sinexon would not explain what that

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BOSTON, Nov. 1s.IThe trial of the Co.
lumbia today is passing of very success
fully. with an average showing Of something
above twenty-three knots per hour
The big cruiser went down from Boston
on a jog like great trotter from the
stables just before a race
As she neared the line, while still some
three miles away, coal was piled into her
furnace. The vessel warmed up with the
increasing revolutions and the speed 1t
showed just before the line was reached
She seemed to leap from the water, and
started down the bay at a tremendous rate
The Columbia passed the starting line at
300. She passed the Irwana at 1901, or in
six minutes. The Irwana is 234 knots from
1ne dolphin. consequently the speed of the
Soiumoia between these two stations was
q. 40 knots.
After this she increased her speed.
she finished the half course at IL 40 and
started on her return at 1918
Inc weather, which was SO fine on the
outgoing trip. turned to rain shortly after
the turn was made, and a heavy mist SET

with the trial, but obscuring somewhat the

A COSTLY WALK,
1t IL Paved With Pebbles Which Rep.
resent Thousands of Dollars.

Ii Ii Paved With Pebbles Which Rep
resent Thousands of Dollars.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
1t has been left to a St. Louis business
man to construct gravel walk, neither
long nor strfkingly beautiful. that is a mod
ern, II comparatively humble. rival Of the
glistening highways of fiction and fable,
for 1t represents $4,000 hard cash.
Edward =. kinsella, vice president of the
Hanley-kinsella Coffee Company, is the
proud possessor of this unique walk. 1t is
composed Of several tons Of Brazilian peb-
bles that came to him in an ordinary BUSH
ness way during the past few years
This firm are heavy importers of Bra zil-
ian coffee Before the berries are ready
to be roasted for the market the sacks are
opened and the contents carefully examined
for twtgs, leaves and other impurities, the
latter generally taking the shape of small
pebbles about the size of a coffee berry
These came with such regularity and in
such quantities that long ago the idea they
were accidentally in the sacks was aban-
doned, and the conclusion reluctantly reach
ed that they were purposely placed in the
bags to make weight. The daily discover
les of these Brazilian pebbles will fill an or
binary water bucket. The importers pay
for coffee. Two years ago Mr.. Kinsella
concluded to utilize this apparent evidence
of dishonesty of the far-away coffee pack
er. and had the accumulation of pebbles
carted out to his handsome residence. on
the West Pine street boulevard 1923, where
they were used to make handsome garden
walk. The pebbles represent a weight that
in coffee would be worth $4,000. The gravel
path is each month being added to. and 1t
is hut question of time when Mr.. Kinsella
will have the most expensive garden path
in the known world.

A Swapping Family.

From the New York Sun.
las a specimen of what Kentucky can do
in the way Of producing stalwart SONS and
daughters" said a proud native If tie e. ie
Grass country, Il might mention the old
Joe Morrison family of Bourbon county
Anybody of the present generation who ever
lived in Kentucky will remember old Joe
Morrison's family. The family consisted of
Joe and his wife and six sons and three
daughters. Joe stood feet in his stock
ings and weighed 2l0 pounds. HIS -Ife was
the same height exactly, but she weighed
266 pounds. The oldest son, Tom. was also
8 feet T. and he weighed 2S6 pornls Jim
topped his brother Tom two inches IN height.
but he wasn't as heavy by seventy pounds
Their sister Sarah was a slim girl, weigh
Ing only l55 pounds, but she could look over
the heads of both Tom and Jim, for she
stood feet 6 1-2 inches.
But John was the big boy Of the family
He only lacked an inch of being seven feet
Mary was a midget of six feet two and
only weighed 149 pounds. Elijah wasn't
very tall, either, being the same .eight as
his sister Mary, but he was Of pretty fair
heft, tipping the scales at 212. Matthew was
six feet two, also, and weighed o20 while
than 200. The youngest girl, Martha, was
SIX ret three and $50 pounds in weight
She would undoubtedly have been the gianr
OF the family, for that was her height and
weight at the age of fourteen, a few weeks
before she died. When these measurements
were taken, few years ago, the family was
all together, but since then old joe and his
wife have died, and the boys and urls were
married and scattered about the state I
don't know what their progeny have done
to keep up the family reputatio as to size.
Out III bet on 'em to keep up the -.cord.'

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
the annual report of the commissioner of

cigarettes have been made in this country

Of the royalist organs. which have absurdly

Is, for this government TO abdicate in favor
Of the restoration OF the decayed monarchy.
Whatever Mr.. Willis is instructed to
propose to the Hawaiian government will
obviously be presented for their reasonable
consideration as mutually advantageous to
both countries. We do not give up hope
that it may be annexation as a territory.
The fact that Mr.. Willis Is understood to
have settled his affairs at home with view
TO protracted stay does not seem to US
significant II a protectorate Is established
the United States Will continue to need a

IF a territorial government is organized
a governor will be required. and the present
minister's services may be desired by Mr..
Cleveland. In either capacity, though moth
