The house of Orrin Black, newspaper

Her Dream Was Realized.
Chicago Record.

Once upon a time girl was seized with
the bicycle mania. That was three years
ago, when mammas we're not quite so
liheral-minded as they are now. A rich
aunt threatened to dIsown her and the
rest ot the relatives raised a chorus of
disaDDroval whenever she mentioned the
subject. For the sake of peace and quiet
the dear. self-sacrifcing girl gave up the
bicycle idea, although every season she
suffered terribly whenever she saw girl
on IA wheel. About week ago she assert
ed her rights, and took her savings for
three years and invested them in bicycle.
Every morning she disappeared fox sew
eral hours, and returned home with band
aged fingers, torn skirts. banged-in hat,
a sour temper ana painful limp.
Yesterday she invited the family to

Mrs. Laura Ormiston Chant, the dis
tinguished English lecturer and preacher.
has just arrived in town from Chicago
and will occupy The pulpit of the FIRST
Unitarian Church on the corner of Geary
and Franklin streets this morning Mrs.
Chant, though very tired with her long
journey, was gracious enough to grant a
CALL reporter brief interview last
evening and tell him little about herself
and her work.
1t was as representative of the band
of noble women who are doing so much
good among the poor, the fallen and the
criminal of England that Mrs. Chant went
to the Congress of the Worlds Repre-
sentative Women, and as tie knowledge
of her achievements haG preced ed her, her
stay in Chicago was made extremely
pleasant. Mrs. Chant is not a regularly
ordained minister as she prefers to be
entirely unden ominationals and speak in
all churches ins tead of being restricted, as
she would otherwise be.
In England she is debarred from speak
ing In the Episcopal church. since no one
not 10 holy orders can have that privilege.
In this country, however, she has spoken
in the Episcopal churches of Portland,
Me, and Baltimore. Nd, as well as in the

When IN Boston two weeks since Mrs.
Chant spoke in the Charlestown States
prison TO over 500 men, being the only
woman who had ever spoken in that place.
MIS-. Chant is not only q preacher but is
musician OF note, poet and q journalist.
She has received a medical education also,
and was for some years trained nurse and
afterward the manager OF a large lunatic
asylum, which position she resigned at her
marriage. AS a wife and mother Mrs.
Chant particularly shines. She has four
charming children, one of whom, girl of
10. came to this country with her and is
now iD Boston. Her husband is a phySi-
clan of note. and her home. in the heart
of London, is a peculiarly happy one.
Mrs. Chants latest book. Action Songs
for Children" has already become very
popular on both sides Of the Atlantic, and
she has others ia contemplation which

Personally Mrs. Chant is . tite, with
very dark eyes and hair, Well-shaped

is fluent C0nVersatiOnalist. with pleasant
though decided manners, and is a worthy
descendant on her fathers side of the
fam Gus statesman. Edmund Burke, and
on her mothers OF the versatile Prince

Said c. K. Stout of the treasury Office,
as be sat before the scales with $4,000 or
$4,000 in double eagles at his elbow:
"How many 81 bills do you think it would
take to weigh as much as one of these
coins ?"
The reporter considered a moment and
made \ que SIS.
1T takes just twenty-seyen, unless the
bills are trimmed close. Twenty-eight

He disappeared in the vault for a few
minutes. and presently emerged with
package of brand-new 81 bills in his hand.
Then he counted out twenty-seVen of
them and said to the reporter, CHOOSE
any coin you will"
The reporter chose a coin which Mr..
Stout put on one of the scale pans. Then
he put the twenty-seven 81 bills on the
other pan. The long needle that moves
on the index showed that the beam was
almost level The man of money added
another bill to the twenty-seven, and the
coin went up. Then the reporter offered

which is to occupy the very center of the
exposition.
In the matter of ornamental ilumina-
tion, all the buildings will be outlined
with incandescent lights in globes of diff
ferent colurs. This will include not only
the main buildings, but the buildings in
the concessions and all the ornamental
structures in and about the grounds
There will also be grand electric foun-

The question has come up in the minds
of some of the people who are interested
in The success of the Midwinier Expos-
tion as TO how the terraces and other
landscape features of the fair site are to be
perfected before the fair opens. Until the
buildings are comDleted of course it will
be impossible to finish the decoration of
the grand central court. in view of the
fact that so much heavy teaming will have
to he done there. but there is wav in
which this obstacle can be overcome in
such manner as TO insure the absolute
perfection of the landscape features re-
ferred to in plenty of time for the opening
of the fair on January 1.
In this connection suggestion has been
made by John Begg. the landscape gar
dener, to the effect that grass sward and
grown plants can readily be transferred to
the spot. and that less than a month will
be needed TO get them well rooted and
growing as if they belonged there. 1t has
been said that Mrs. Stanford was about to
dismantle the celebrated Vina ranch and
that she would be probably willing that a
great deal of the growing plants, shrub
berry of all sorts and any quantity If green
swards should be transplanted from there
to the exposition grounds.

ments from which the fair fund is ex-
pected TO receive an increase is q grand
