A young married lady of this city
dropped a letter on Oklahoma avenue
last Saturday. The missive was
picked up by colored lad who gave it
to a clerk in a dry goods store. The
letter was written and mailed by a
young male friend of the married lady
and there was nothing in it to excite
comment The clelk, however,
thought it was something" and he
regaled his friends with its contents a
few evenings ago in a certain store.
While he was engaged N reading it the
lady rushed in, called the clerk aside,
and gave him a resounding slap on the
jaw and a good lecture. Hereafter
the clerks curiosity will be somewhat
subdued.

Tributes From the Chicago Times

Tributes From the Chicago Times
and Inter Ocean.
CHICAGO. Oct. 2S.-The Times, which
will say tomorrow:
In the closing hours OF the Columbian
festival, wherein its towering sue
cess was being celebrated, a blow
has fallen upon Chicago. The
chief magistrate of the city Is no
more. He is dead by the hand of an
assassin; one. let us trust for the sake
of humanity, who was bereft of reason,
for who, having sound mind, would de-
liver the death stroke upon man whose
own heart was full of the milk of human
kindness, and could not harbOr rancor
or resentment The stroke, sudden and
horrible, was delivered by all ignoble
of place was by mousing owl
pity OF it rouses sympathy
as well as indignation. Law will deal
with the assassin, but no compensation
can be offered to the affection of the
hearthstone blighted by the crime. MIR.
Harrison had the essentials of a good
executive-clear Judgment, prompt
action, full knowledge of affairs,
and skill in the choice of responsible
assistants. Not unmlndful OF the
claim of party upon him, he pre-
ferred to make the city hall business
administration, and there was pardona-
BILE pride, for there was truth in the
claim which he delighted loosely TO
repeat that he was the best mayor
Chicago ever had. But this is over.
No sound shall awaken Harri-
son to glory again. The plaud-
its OF the Chicagoans that fell
upon grateful ear-for Harrison loved
applause, as every honest man who
courts fame must-will turn to lamenta-
ton in the midst of now general YER
dict that he was indeed pre-eminent
among Chicago's magistrates. He
yearned for the good opinion of his fell
low men. and their tribute will lie thick
as autumnal leaves upon his bier.
The Inter Ocean will say:
For the first time in the history of
Chicago public official has been assas-
mated. 1t was the cherished ambition
of Mr.. Harrison to serve as the worlds
fair mayor. He entered upon his Off
clal duties Just previous to the
opening of the fair, and was at
the proudest moment of a most
extraordinary career when cut down
by the shot of an assassin. Mayor Har-
rison was, by the test of the ballot, one
of the most popular men in political life
in Chicago. No one accounted for his
hold on those opposed to his party, but
all were compelled to admit the fact.
He believed Thoroughly in himself and in
Chicago, and lived boldly up to his ideas
of official duty.
