CHICAGO. Oct. H." Talk about Paris" said
a reporter Of one Of the largest papers mere.
whom happened to meet at tho Fair grounds
on Chicago day. lit doesn't compare with this
place. Chicago is the worst city on the globe
to-day. The people who are not allowed to
live In New York. Philadelphia. and Baltimore
come here. That is the class OF people OF
which the population here is COMPOSED.
There are parts OF the city in which man
wouldn't hesitate to kill you for dollar and a
half. And as for Sunday. very few people here
regard it. The best things are played at the
theatres on that day and crowds go to see
them, The billiard rooms are all open and the
gam blng saloons. as well AS many OF the
stores. One may putfn n good days shopping
here on Sunday II ne cares to.
1t is a healthy place. however The wind
blows almost constantly either from the lax 9
or across miles and miles Of prairie land.
and one need have no fear OF malaria here.
80 am from New York. and many OF the GUS
toms here struck me with amnzement when l
first arrived. There is very little Difference
shown TO women by the opposite sex. and
have seen respectfully dressed mon walking
on State street withhold. We'll say ladies'
take their coats Off in hot weather. and. throw
in their shirt sleeves We'd hardly see
negro do a thing like that in the East.
The Chicago woman has her good points.
no doubt. aud lots OF them. but as u rule they
do not appear on the surface. In short. she Is
not a beauty. and being buffeted by such
crowd as thronGs the Fair grounds o-day is
not likely to improve her appearance"

He Is Woman's Friend. but He Refuses to

Walter Besant. the friend and admirer OF

tremists on the question of woman's progress.
and holds some conservative and practical
views on the subject not exactly in accordance
with the cvoluted ana advanced idea. Il have
maintained. and shall continue to maintain"
he says. that for women to take mems
work from them Is the most disastrous thing
that can possibly happen. especially in
small country: for 1t halves the wages
and lowers the position Of the workers. aad it
drives the men out Of the country or forces
them to compete with women ut lower pay. 1t
deprves men Of their wives and women OF
their husbands. ! say that when a cry OF ro-
joicing Is raised because another field OF mans
labor is invaded by women. We ought to sit
down and weep for the lowering OF labors In

woman. Marriage. That Is in fact my de-
lIberate opinion. More. believe that if tho
question were put to any woman who has lived

Cigarette Smoking by Women.

Tn till five or ak years ago It was an unusual
thing to find woman who smoked a cigarette
of an evening. Now it is so common. 80 the
English papers assure us. that nearly all
women count among their acquantances one
or two women who smo Ike either internationally
or regularly. Advanced clubs find it neces-
sary to set apart II ladies' smoking room. The
report that one of the railway companies has
found 1t expcdient to reserve smoking car

ture, but it is believed that before many years
