BARRED BY a RAILROAD.
Illinois Central Refuses to Allow Chi


cagoans to Gross Its Tracks.
Actual conflict between citizens and
armed officers of the Illinois Central Com
passage to and from the lake front was
denied to the people has brought the
question of rights 10 a decisive issue.
Mayor Swift declares the crisis has been
reached. He proposes to protect the peo-
pie against q repetition OF the outrage of
exclusion. John Dunn. assistant TO the
president OF the company. announces he
will not bulge from the determined stand
taken by his force OF Men with revolvers
He says citizens We're denied right 10 cross
the tracks OUT Of regard for their lives
and intimatcs the corporation will fight
any opening of streets. Ia short, the
conipany's position * construed by city
officials TO be determination to stick for
alleged vested rights. This earnestness
on the part Of both contestants makes
any more conferences and consequent
agreements impossible.
ChicagOS lake front on Wednesday
was in the possession of fifty armed men.
hired by the Illinois Central Railroad
Company to blockade passage to the har-
Dor from Randolph TO 18th streets. They
had clubs in their hands and revolvers in
their pockets. They were instructed to
both if necessary on any person who
insisted On his right 10 an approach to
piers in navigable waters, and, in carry
ing out the instructions. they compelled
a score Of women 70 imperil their lives
Wednesday night.
This climax of the contest between the
corporation and the municipality was
caused By the action OF the company in
retaliation for the order TO tear down the
Van Buren, street viaduct. Special Off
Ger O'Kecfe was called into the general
managers room and ordered 10 secure q
large force Of assistants. He was In
formed that at SHUTDOWN the people were
TO be taught they had no right 10 pass
age to the lake front. He was told to fur
nish his assistants with weapons and TO
arrest peacefully in all cases where q
beating was not necessary, any man,
woman or child who tried to enter Chi
cago from the steamboats,. This order,
said TO be without precedent in the his
tory of maritime matters, was put into
working force ut the time when the people
were returning from Lincoln Park and
Windsor Park Beach by boat.

promised Nettie never to take 1t on;
besides, 1t might be stolen. 1 shall have
to 60 back" He turned his horses
head and drove rapidly home. He found
the ring; and he found also when he
got to the railway station that the train
had gone without him. Poor fellow,
how sick he felt as he walked out OF
the station. Nettie must have gone
without him; and he had been looking
forward SO much to the outing.
dreadful feeling of desolation took pos
session of him. 1t seemed to him that
lie was separated forever from his be-
loved. He cursed the opal ring which
had been the cause Of his misfortune.
Was 1t really going to bring him III
luck after all, he wondered? A sound
of wheels approaching made him look
up. Was 1t possible? he knew the
cart He knew the driver. Miss Yer

Don't hurry, darling" was her low
er's reply. given In calm and leisurely
manner-he could afford to be calm and
leisurely now-"the train has gone with
out u.s.
"Oh, what pityv" cried Nettie, clasp
her hands, "but never mind. dear, we
have got each other" and she looked at
the young man In way that more than
consoled him for all his disappoint-
ment. "And now" said the young lady,
al daresay you'd like to know how it
is am SO late. Do you know, sir. 1t Is
really all your fault? Yes, it was. It's
no good denying it. 1t was that opal
ring of yours that fell off-you know II
was rather large for me. Well, l spent
no end Of time looking for it. l thought
l should never find 1t; but 1 did, and
here il Is. But what on earth makes
you stare so? Don't do it. dear; you
look so ugly, and you are really not such
bad-looking boy In your normal state"
Poor Clifton explained the cause Of
his own delay, which he had been try
ing to do for some time, but his fair
lady had not given him chance.
Now, dearest" he concluded,
doesn't it strike you as very curious
that we should both of US have been de-
layed on account Of our opal rings?

"Yes, wonder, too" said Nettie, nod
ding her golden head rehectively.
But they both Of them knew an hour
or two later. when the terrible news
Of the breaking down Of the Patharpar
bridge under the train they would have
gone by reached the station. And In
the days Of grief and desolatlon that
followed for Kharpur they found time
to wonder why they two should have
been saved Charlie and Nettie are old
er now, but they still wear their opal
rings-those rings which, instead Of
bringing them III luck, saved them from
an awful and sudden death. At least,
they so regard the matter. And so do |
also. for i. too, am superstitiouS, and
not ashamed to own it.-Great Divide.

Bicycles as Revenue Producers

An ingenious idea has been hit upon
by the president Of Canadian railway
for creating travel on the company's
cars Along the railroad, running some
distance out Of the city, the company
has allowed bicyclists 10 construct a
cinder path, for their own convenience,
as we'll as giving the company better
ballasting on the road. The only rev.
enue the company expects to derive from
the path is from the fares Of the wives
and families Of the riders who take
the cars to watch the wheelmen prac-
tice AS the riders Of the wheel in To-
ronto number about 10000, the enter
prise of the railway company is likely
to be well rewarded.

INDIANAPOLIS, April "A letter i6s
been received in this city from O. c.
Wharton, an indianapolis man who ia y
member OF the national guard doing
guard duty over ex Queen Liliuoka-
lani at Honolulu. Wharton, among other
things, says: 1.-THE queen is n prisoner
upstairs over our barracks and we are al
ways on guard over her. She is allowed
. woman to attend her all the time, and
as the natives are all musicians they seem
to enjoy themselves upstairs. The time
is spent in singing and dancing. This is
the way the ex-queen is expected to pass
the next five years, which is her time Of
sentence"
0Wharton says the islands are at present
poor place for capital seeking invest
ment, as the opinion is general that an
other rebellion may break out any time.
In this event, Wharton says, the Japanese
will take a hand. The Japanese the
letter continues, are by far the more
numerous there and are getting very bold
over their victory over the Chinese. The
Hawaiian government could not hold out
against any other nation twenty-four
hours. As long as they have no one to
contend with but the natives, however,
they are not afraid.
