Twenty month"; ago Kate Field was
asked number Of questions Us ~ csi-
tain American conditions, celebrities
and problems as they would exist a
hundred years hence. Among other
queries propOundod were! "What
American now living will DO most
houored la lB9s2o "Whers will be- our
greatest oity2" "what about tenn
perance legislallon7" etc, etc. Mics
Field answered them. at the time,
according as within or ability suggested,
and now Ia the latest issue
Of her paper she resurreots her fore.
cast Of nearly two years ago, observing
that Ia the light Of today several OF the
answers read ouriously. To tho iifst
question she had given the following
almost prophetic answer "lf he iul.

predict should Grover Cleveland prove

The second question IN lis answer
will hnd more universal acceptance
with local readers:
"Where will be- our greatest ciJ?"
'In all probability Chicago. There
will be wonderful cities IN the West,

Logically, II would seem that II no

metropolis should come near being the
