100000.


Monday of this week was Chicago Day.
at the Worlds Fair and the people of the
city focked to the grounds. The crowds
at the gates were so vast that al the wag-
on gates were also opened; and by even
ing the estimated attendance was 725, 900,
which was nearly double that of any day
at any other Worlds Fair or Exposition.
Several persons lost their lives or were seri-
ously injured in the jam.
The first event arranged by the Worlds
Fair Committee of the Chicago Common
Council took place at 8 o'clock, and was
more closely associated with Chicago's
birth and early history than anything else
on the program. The old Pottawattomie
chief, Simon Pokagon, whose father, Leo
pold, decided the land upon which Chicago
is built, had been induced to come from
his home in Hartford, Mich, for Chicago
Day, and stood beside the Columbia bell
with uncovered head, in the dressof the
white man, and received the homage of
fam GUS people AT his side was Chief John
Young, 60 years old, who came from the
Pottawattomie reservation, near Niles,
Mich, to tell the people of all nations that
his father, who bore the same name, christ
ened the Worlds Fair city Chicago, which
literally interpete means "where the
skunk dwells"
These two old and feeble Pottawattomie
chiefs were the idols Of the hour. Polka
gon read brief speech, but Chief Yonng
had nothing to say.
The grounds of the Terminal station
could not be seen for the mass of people
who filled it in front of the stand erected
for the chorus of 1000 voices, under the d.
rection of W. l.. Tomlins, an orchestra,
the United Exposition bands and the Eighth
Cavalry Mexican Band, accompanied the
chorus in mighty melody, which aroused
the people in front to high pitch of patri-
otic enthusiasm. While the festival Of song
and instrumental music was in progress.
Chicago's crack society cavalry troop, the
Chicago Hussars, passed by on their fine
horses from the Midway Pldisance.

Senator Quay For Repeal.

Senator Quay has stated his position on
the silver question as follows; 81 am not
in favor of free coinage of silver, and in
this believe l represent the judgment of a
very large majority of the people of Penn
sylvania of both great parties. l will vote
for the unconditional repeal of the purchas
ing clause Of the Sherman act, if a vote
upon that naked proposition can be reached
will vote against any amendment and will
vote against the Repeating bill, if amended
80 as to include other financial legislation.
The first duty of Congress, to my mind, is
to get rid of the Sherman act, which all
parties agree should be repealed After.
ward there will be time enough, during
the present session, to mature and enac
fair and conservative legislation upon the
currency. The Wilson bill would pass
with little opposition did not the silver
senators apprehend that any subsequent
legislation for the protection Of silver
would be vetoed. 1 favor an immediate
vote, as do a majority of the Senate, bat,
if the minority are determined to resist, a
vote cannot be reached, except by violent
methods. A cloturs rule cannot be adopt
ed, because the discussion of the cloture
also may be protracted and its passage
obstructed ad intnitnm. The vote and
procedure required to pass the cloturt
would pass the repeal bill"

A Touching Tribute to Medical Heroism.

The following touching tribute TO medi-
cal heroism is from the New York Sun.
The Sun is always just to the medical pro-
fession, and in this instance speaks. as it
has often done before, from its heart: cone
of the first victims of the yellow fever at
Brunswick last month was a practising
physician, who caught the infection from
patient upon who he was attending. On
Sunday last, one Of the physicians Of the
New York Hospital, Dr. Walter Vought,
died of typhoid fever the infection of
which had been communicated to him by
child in the hospital. Again,a few days ago
two young doctors of this city caught the
small pox from patient who was afflicted
with it. There are always risks for doc
tors in attendance upon patients suffering
from contagious or infectious malades.
Yet they are always ready to brave the
danger, without Ainching, in the interest
of humanity. Honor to our noble army of
doctors! Hundreds of them volunteered
for service here last autumn, when this
city was threatened with cholera. We do
not know how many of them have sent
word to Surgeon General Wymau that they
stand ready to 60 to Brunswick, or to any
part of the South in which the yellow fever
may break out. Whatever be the risks
from any disease, the medical faculty is
ever willingly to confront them. Long live
the doctors! We have sent American doc
tors to the chOlera-infected ports of Europe
and several of them have done splendid
work this year. If hundred of them had
been needed, we have no doubt that a
thousand of them would have offered their
services. Heroes are the doctors. They
will enter the pesthouse without shrinking
attend to every case in it, and do all that
can be done to relieve the sufferers. Bles-
sed be the doctors They are men of sci
ence, men of skill, men Of earnest purpose,
men of sympathetic disposition. They are
devoted to their duties. Dr. Walter
Vought, who died of typhoid fever last
Sunday in the New York Hospital, of
which he was house physician, was a man
of talent, and still in his early prime. He
took charge of the quarantine station at
Fire Island last year during the cholera
scare;' he had rendered service in the Van
derbilt clinic; he died in hospital. Though
he had but just turned thirty years of age.
he was the author of works upon malaria
fevers, the cholera and other diseases; he
had already won a name in the profession.
We knew him personally, and we can testify
that he was high-minded gentleman:
There's rosemary, that's for re-
membrance; and there is pansies, that's for
thoughts"
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1893-10-13

COMMENTING on the Edison plan of max
ing dollars out of bushels of wheat an ex-
change says: This is good idea, for, as
Edison says, such a dollar would not only
represent actual value, but when you got
hungry "you could eat your dollar, for
when you wanted to use the wheat, all that
would be necessary would be to put your
money to soak" Any man who doesn' t
even know an ohm from volt or dy-
namo from a donkey will appreciate the
value of Mr.. Edison S suggestion when he
reflects on the possible expansion oft. If
sound dollars car be made of wheat there
is no good reason why eagles and half
eagles should not be minted from Indian
corn, nor why our subsidiary currency
should not be extracted from cereals of less
importance, like barley or buckwheat.
How nice it would be if the careful house
wife could put quarter dollar in soak at
night and wake up in the morning to find
it expanded into the raw material for an
abundant supply of luscious griddlecakes!
And what pity it is that Mr.. Edison
didn't exploit his ingenious notion little
sooner, so as to head off the asinine pro-
position of Mr.. Wharton Barker for the
coinage of oldfashioned noncomestible
silver dollars.
