TODAY IN CHICAGO.

This ought to be a great day IN
Chicago, This ought to be day on
which the nations of the earth should
take off their hats to the United
States. The world has repeatedly
tried to make big shows. In the old
triumphant days of Rome there were
some 6rst-class displays. They all
pale into utter insignifcance COM
pared to what ought to be seen in the
City by the Lakes. 1t was the habit
of Roman chieftains to lead their
captives in chains. They rode in
war chariots. The hosts OF their SOL
diers followed. The trophies taken
in wars of conquest were hauled
along to exhibit to the people. All
that was possible to make of pomp
and magni6cence in celebrating the
triumph Of might over right was on
exhibition. But those were nothing
compared to this one which is to be
presented to the world today. All
the chains there will be used will lie
chains of flowers. The captives that
will be lead today will be themselves
triumphant. This is Liberty's Day
to the world and representatives OF
all the nations will march under her
flag. The trophies to be exhibited
are such as no Roman conquerer
ever brought home in triumph.
Those trophies were contributed from
all the museums, the galleries, the
manufactures of the world; the pal
aces, the capitols, the mines-from
every place where the world keeps
guard over its splenders, those troph-
les were brought, and today are to
be unveiled to the great worlds gaze.
There the Republics President will
speak a few dedicatory words and
words of welcome. His touch will
set in motion such powers as the
ancients never dreamed of. Art and
infinite power have joined hands, and
when night shall close down the
whole magnificent aggregation will
be illuminated by such light as the
anclents only saw when storms hung
over the mountains and the light
ning's flash revealed their peaks.
The mere stating of what will be
reads like fairy tale.
For on to watch it and let his
imagination work, the story that his
soul will rehearse to him, cannot be
communicated to this world in words.
For several years men have been
repeating as a glcrifed expression,
aPeace hath her victories no less re
nowned than war" but those words,
without any Milton to have put them
in form, or, at last, the thought
behind them would have sprung to
the mind of every one to-day who
will be PERMITTED to see that mighty
spectacle. Is will be the world on
dress parade. 1t will be the world
making obeisance to genius, the
light of whose soul shone out through
a darkened age and gave to men
New World, gave to thought thou
sand worlds, and caused the world,
in fact, to respond to the order,
'Bout face, forward mArch!"-Salt

THE AMETHYST.
A Gem of Many Varieties and With a
Classic History.


The word amethyst means not intoxicated
or drunken, because the stone was supposed
to possess the virtue of preventing drunk
enness, leaving the wearer or drinker not
intoxicated.
For this reason II was made into drin king
cups by the ancient Pefsians, but. unfortu-
nately, tradition leaves us in doubt as to
whether it was this misplaced confidence or
not that led to the diseontinuance Of the
amethystine cup.
The occidental amethyst Is species o [
quartz, blush purple in color. generally
occurring crystalliZed in hexahedral Drisms
termin ated by corresponding pyramids. Its
fracture Is eonchoidal or splinterv. It's
color is due to the oxide Of manganese, or
to iron and soda.
Although esteemed as gem, il is-unllke
most eems-more brilliant by sunlight than
by gaslight. The most beautiful specimens
are brought from Brazil, Ceylon, India,
Siberia and various parts Of Europe. 1t Is
found also in North Carolina, Mount Holy
oke aud Nova Scotia.
The shores of the picturesque basin Of
Mnas, made famous by Longfellow's poem
"Evangeline." furnish many fine specimens
of this beautiful stone. After the frosts Of
winter have broken and sealed the face of
the bluffs then is the most favorable time to
hunt not only for the amethyst but for other
minerals, such as chalcedony, agate. mala-
chlte, calcite. anolcne, apatite, natrolite.
etc, found there in the debris at the foot of
the cliffs.
It is said that Cape Blomidon amethyst
is in the crown of France. and that 275 years
ago Sieur de Monts carried several large
amethysts from one of the islands in the
basin TO Henry " OF France. These gems
are generally found in goodies or after q
fresh fall of traprock.
TIE oriental amethyst Is really violet
col0red sapphire, which is an exceedingly
rare gem and OF brilliant luster. 1t is re-
garded as sacred stone. and II is used to
ornament the cross and the pastoral ring Of
Catholic Bishops. The ancients often used
the amethyst for cutting figures both in
relief and in intaglio. and there Is In the
National Library of France delieately
wrought profile OF M8cenas, a Roman
statesman OF Octavius' time. engraved on
amethyst by Dioscorides, one of the four
celebrated engravers men toned by Pliny.

drew forth handkerchief Of lace and lawn.
It was, at the most. eight inches square.
Nv eye is accurate in such measurements.
Removing her hat, she carefully spread

She might as well have stuck a Colum-

A Chinese Cook Dies From His Self
Inflicted Injuries.


All Lucy, a Chinese cook and a member
of the Hop Wan Society. made a desperate
aud successful attempt to commit suicide
yesterday morning.
The injured Celestial was found in q
lOdging-h house at 81 Waverly place in a
dying condition shortly after O'clock yes
terday afternoon and was taken to the Re-
ceiving Hospital. where lie died from the
effects of his injuries an hour after his ar
rival. Sickness and dependency were the
cause of Luey's rash and effectual attempt
to shuttle off the mortal coil.
All Lucy was employed as cook by
the California Construction Company
at Seventeenth and Guerrero streets
for some time past. For the past
four months be was afflicted with a
lOathsome and incurable disease When
desrOnGent the Chinese frequently re-
marked to the laborers employed at the
camp that he would Kill himself but no
attention was paid to his threats. Early
yesterday morning All Lucy disappeared
from the camp, and nothing was heard OF
him until he was found in a dying condi-
ton. He went TO Chinese clearinghouse
al q Waverley place, where he hired a room
and calmly made his preparations 10 die
After divesting himself of his clothing he
lay down in tie little bunk in the room, and
with keen razor cut terrible cash in his
abdomen.
He was discovered by one Of his numer-
Gus cousins living in the same house, who
informed Policemen Deguire and Tanning
of the case. They summoned the patrol
wagon, and the injured Mongol was taken
to the Receiving Hospital. Drs. Berry and
Samuels found that several OF the iniestines
had been cut and that he could not posi-
bly, recover.
When informed of his condition the
Chinese expressed satisfaction at having
been successful in his attempt to kill him

want to die, anyway" at the same time
struggling TO PREVENT the doctors from dress

DIR. Russell's Sea-Serpent.


DR.. w. III. Russell, the welLknown cor
respondent of the Times publishes in that
journal on Friday remarkable letter on
the "Sea-Srrpent." He says that in 1851 he
heard from a venerable lady of unmistaka-
BILE character full account of the appear
ance of sea-ser9ent off the Bay of Greiss,
in the Isle of Lewis, which was wounded
with bullets by the fishermen and for some
time lay with its head extended on a rock.
1t left some of its scales there and some
were given 10 DIR. Russell. but he unfortu-
nately lost them. They were as big as seal
lop shells. He sffirms also that DIR. Joass,
Minister of Golspie. walking by the sea,
near DunrObin. saw al immense ses-Ser-
pent, as did also Lady Florence Chaplin.
who was walking with him.
The letter is OF course only a contribution
to an immense mass OF evidence, but it Is
noteworthy because everybody knows DIR.
Russell. and knows that, although he may
unconseiously paint up a description, he
does not invent and Is singularly keen
judge of evidence. OF course his letter will
have no manner of weight, for the multi
tude has made up its mind that there is no
sea-serpent and in the face of that plebis-
citum what is the value of factsS A true
democrat ought to believe even now that the
sun goes round the earth, tor the immense
