ALL TALK OF using federal troops to
keep the gates OF the White City closed
on Sundaysis mere leather and prunella
Such manifestation of federal author
ity would be greeted with displeasure by
the people of the United States. There
was very Offensive manifestation of
the spirit of miitarism in that city in
1871, on the occasion of the great fire,
when General Sheridan undertook to
run things with high hand. Gen.
John M. Palmer was at that time
the Republican governor of Illinois.
Although gallant soldier, and then
Republican, he would not brook Sheri-
dams overriding the civil authorities of
the state. His vigorous protest did
much in laying the foundation of a pop
ularity that has never known waning
since. 1t may be safely assumed that
with Grover Cleveland as president OF
these United States the bayonet will cut
a very small figure in any controversies
about the worlds fair remaining open or
shut on Sunday. The right of the peo-
pie of Chicago to keep Jackson park
open on all days OF the week cannot be
disturbed by United States court, and
is not likely to be disputed. As to the
opening of the exposition buildings, that
is horse of different color, and will
undoubtedly be adjusted without any
offensive manifestation of militsrism.
The man or men who would resort to
q display of brute force in this matter
would be damned forever with the peo-
n la of the Irnikad- 6 10 tou

A Great Diamond.

The second largest diamond in the

OF the Russian "Oriof' brilliant.
Roughly speaking the Antwerp ston"
will be about the size Of pigeon $
egg. In its present state it measures
2.74l inches by / 767 inches. Its pol
i,hed surface will measure 1886 inch
each way. Some idea OF the enor-
nous expense Of the transinutation
OF these costly tribes from the natural

cred from the fact that the great Eng

which has only the comparatively
modest weight Of 102! earats, cost nc
less than cs 900 to cut and polish
The polishing Of a very large diamond

a long time before the actual value o.

A whale had been killed and the boats
were towing it toward the ship, when
the men caught sight OF q large COW

the next minute the calrs life blood

All this time the men had sat mo

east upon Maryland street at a lao clip,
with "Hoosier" holding his seat in the sad
die, but vainly endeavoring to check the
speed of the horse. All was we'll while a
clear road was before them, but the

shot skyward like a rocket He fell upon
the brick pavement at a distance of about
twenty feet from the spot where the horse
had fallen.
There were a number of people about the
corner at the time, and their attention had
been attracted to "Hoosier'' by the rapid
gait at which the horse he was riding was
coming down the street. When the collision
came dozen or more men rushed TO where
he fell, expecting to find him fatally in
jured. BY the time they rea ched him, how
ever, he was upon his feet, and the first
words he said We're: us she hurt? mean

horse was not injured. and said he guessed
he was all right. and he appeared to be,
save a few scratches upon the face. He

was a Disguised man last night. Yesterday
evening he arrested a peace disturber, and
last night brought the prisoner to this city.

brought from an incorporated town. Then
the marshal tried the Jail, but Sheriff EN-

Ill he could produce a commitment for his
