THE NEW WORLD METROPOLIS.

Chicago Reaching For New York's Crown
as Queen OF the Continent.
This significant editorial appears in
that very much alive New York paper,
The World:
CONSOLIDATION must take place or
soon the pushing western city will ap-
pear upon the map as the queen of the
continent. The figures are conclusive.
In 1900, unless consolidation takes
place, it will surely be smaller, and
Chicago will utter a tremendous roar,
which will echo and re-echo around the
world, for New York will have lost the
leading place, with all the power, pres
tige, Importance and substantial bene-
fits such a place brings And Chicago
will have it and make the most of it.
The advantages of being the first city
in population cannot be overestimated.
1t is an advertisement all over the world.
1t attracts capital and a thousand other
benefits"
There is no help for New York. It
must submit to the inevitable. Chicago
is catching up at a pace that cannot be
lessened- Chicago is bound by all laws
of progress to pass New York within
the neal future and to take and keep
the position of first city of the cont.
nent, foremost of the cities Of the new
world.
The usual statistical estimate of man.

population. Deducting the registration

of Chicago must be today more than
1900, coo, and remembering the rate

Ward McAllister has wisely decided
to settle his son Heyward's affairs with
Mrs. Mccall by paying her a lump sum
TO slump, to leyant, to skip.
The sum paid is not mentioned, but
whatever it was you may be sure that
1t was a grind ON the old man to shell
out.
1t seems preposterous that such a
steady going old PAGER or loper should
have an unregenerate son VINO is also so
attractive that q beautiful and well
known society LADY, takes up the cudg-
els in his behalf and bluffs off the 9TH

done the correct thing in this instance.
So has Mrs. Mccall.
Mrs. Robert Able, who was Mrs.
CORTLAND Palmer before she married
the clever young physician who is now
her husband, and her daughter, Miss
Eva Palmer, are going on a visit to
George Vanderbilt at Asheyille, n. @.
The Palmers, who are all learned and
studious, and George Vanderbilt, who
is extremely bookish, are old friends,
and nothing could be more natural than
the proposed visit.
Yet one of those internal busybodies
who make ii their business to start false
rumors sees in this visit a positive de-
termination ON the part of the youngest
Vanderbilt to marry Miss Palmer.
So for about the twentieth time we
have this very retiring young fellow en-
gagged to be married, and then the other
idiots take the matter up and solemnly
argue that it Is a very suitable and al
together immense match.
OF course there is not a word of truth
in It.

How to Choose Good Lin salvsS.

Bad digestion will often assert itself
In broken or chapped lips, sores in the
n of the mouth, fever blisters and
a coated tongue. Chronic sore mouths
should be rubbed with sweet oil or pure
glycerin at night. In the morning wash
with a solution of alum or borax, a tea
spoonful in a tumbler of water. Cam
phor ice is both healing and cleansing.
Good cold cream is not a bad salve. All
the druggists have supplies and cheer
fully dispense 8 cent quantities. Citron
ointment is n of the old reliable lip
salves kept by all chemists. 1t is applied
to the sore with a soft linen cloth. When
the mouth is sore, the diet should be
changed to vegetable foods.

and a little salt, and after the water
begins to boil let it boil from Is to 90

drawn butter made Of milk instead of
water, with hard boiled eggs chopped
n and stirred in just before serving.
Pour this sauce over the fish and gar
nish with sprigs of parsley, and it is

peeled, and if not small enough cut as

and rolled in melted butter and chopped
parsley before serving.

claim and found no one in possession
and no signs of improvements, and, OF
course, thought the woman had madea
mistake and filed on the wrong quarter
section.
Finally, after waiting several weeks
for the matter to be Strengthened out by
the officials Of the land Office, he decided
to file a contest, and a few days later he

Tsxas Jack Rewarded Royalty For Help
Ing Him Out OF . Difficulty.
The following story is going the
rounds Of social circles in Copenhagen:
The crown prince, who loves to take
long walks, was promenading the other
day along the Strandney when he came
across one of the t~ollkeepers. After pay
ing his tax he began . conversation
with the good man. sitting on the bench
which the keeper occupied. A few min
utes later q rider anne running toward
them. The crown prince recognized
him as Texas Jack, who had ridden in
several races recently.
The sportsman neither knew the
crown primes nor that he was to pay toll
for the privilege of using the street.
The keeper was obliged to catch thu Jri-
die of Texas Jacks steed, as, speaking
no Danish, the latter did not understand
the demands made upon him and wish
ed to push by. Texas Jack was grow
ing angry when his royal highness step
ped forward and announced in English
that users of the way had to pay 10 oere.

rider at once put his hand in his pocket,
pulled out 20 oere and gave the money
to the row prince. The latter offered
to return him 10 oere, but the Yankee,
with a majestic wave of his whip, told
the crown prince to keep the change as
a reward for helping him out of his
difficulty.
On the following day the crown prince
went to the races. Among the compel
itors was Texas Jack. A few minutes
before he was to show the skill of him
self and horse he rode up in front of tho
royal pavilion to make the customary
obeisance to the king. But he almost
dropped his reins when, looking up, he
saw the man to whom he had given the
fee on the preceding day occupying the
place reserved for the crown prince.
His royal hiShness greeted him, how
ever, most heartily, and Texas Jack
rode away smiling and to victory.-Co-

first showed the cat with feet in air
making a series of desperate appeals for
succor; then a somersault was turned
with more or less grace; finally the fe-
line reached the ground on its four paws,
and then, with tail aIoft, bolted into o
safe retreat.
There was a great deal of learned dis.
cussion rs to the cause of the phenome.

been triumphantly solved by puss in tho
first three feet of the descent. M. Milne
