GRAND FETF At PULLMAN's MANSION
One of the Most Magnificent Functions
in ChicR,O's History.

Chicago, May 13.-While labor circles
are discussing with heat and indigna-
ton the daily evictions of George NJ
Pullman's eX-emplOyes that are taking
place at his model colony" at Pullman,
society is still talking of the grand
ball and outdoor fete that took place at
the Pullman mansion a few nights
since. No more magnificent function,
it is said. has ever taken place in Chi
cago. The Egyptian curios and other
fancy articles purchased by Mrs. Pull
man during her recent trip abroad, and
which We're all on view for the first
time, are said to have represented n
cash outlay of $50 600, while the cost of
the imported palms that decorated the
house and grounds would be regarded
by good many people as a small fort
une. Five hundred names were on the
list Of invitations, and it took a check
for nearly $4,000 to settle all the bills
growing out Of the nights festivity.

cREsPo THE IDOL OF VENEZUELA
Popular Demonstration in Support of
the Presidents Policy.


the Presidents Policy.
Washington. May 12.-Recent ad-
vices reaching the Venezuelan legation
tell of a popular demonstration at Car
acas in which 10000 people gathered to
the support of President Crespo's poll
cy. The demonstration centered at the
yellow house." which is President
Crespo's official residence. The gather
ing represented all political parties and
was meant as a ratification of the pres
ident's course in obliterating party
lines and forming a cabinet from all
the political elements in existence. The
result has proven very satisfactory, as
the demonstration indicates.
1t is said to have no direct bearing
on the British-Venezuela question fur
Their than in showing the harmony and
strength of the Crespo administration
on all questions of public policy. The
Venezuelan papers are printing with
much favorable comment the recent
expressions of the American press on
the British-Venezuela question.
The Venezuela congress, now in SEES
sion is giving it's main attention to per-
fecting the law code. patterned after
the NapOleonic code, which prevails
throughout all the states of Venezuela.
Venezuela has a gold standard, with
the bolivar, named after the liberator,
her standard coin. 1t is made of both
gold and silver but the. former domi-
mates and makes the standard for both
coins.

SHE COVEIS CONTROL OF THE CANAL
japan Said 70 Have an Eye on the Pro.
jeet in Nicaragua.
Washington, May 12.-The Toxic cable
stating that Japan has her eve on the
Nicaraguan canal presents a new and
important phase of the canal question
in which the United States has taken
such vital interest.
Thus far the United States has re-
Kun sent letter to the judges implor-
garded Great Britain as the only dam
gerous competitor for the use or control
of the canal. Now Japans interests in
the canal presents a new factor. Her
victories over China promise to make
her prominent power in the Pacific.
BY gaining privileges in the use of the
Nicaraguan canal, Japan will also Sc
cure direct access to the Atlantic with
out the long trip around Cape Horn.
The Importance of a quick route to the
Atlantic from Japan is said to be very
great from a naval and commercial
standpoint.
The details Of the recent negotiations
at Washington cannot be learned, as
treaty making is guarded with much
care until the instrument is concluded.
Minister Kurino will leave for Mexico
at an early date to present his creden-
tials as minister to that country, to
which he is accredited. as well as to
the United States.

A Blow at Temperance.

Miss Frances Willard has made great,
noble use Of her life. Her labors for
temperance have been nntiring. The
founding of the W. c. 7. U. brought into
use mighty agency for good. Miss Will
lard should have been observing enough
to remember that all great reforms have
been brought about by single aims, by un-
diverted efforts for one thing at time.
The light for temperance needs every
energy it can muster to accomplish what
1T desires-the amelioration of the evils
of drunkenness. When Miss Willard, by
her enthusiasm and eloquence, carried her
organization into politics and abandoned
its purely moral work, she drove away in
ffential and natural allies, she aroused
unneeded antagonism, and she did not
strengthen the Prohibition Party.
Miss Willard has just shown that she
learned nothing from this experience
Her annual address endeavors to commit
the W. g. /. ". to free silver, which will
force thousands Of people most unwilling
ly to withdraw their financial support of
her work. The address furthermore de-
clares for other unpopular financial
schemes. 1t also demands the referen-
dun, the election of the President and
Senators by direct popular vote, socializa-
ton OF monOpolles and other theoretical
reforms which the most advanced econom-
lists and most experienced statesmen con
tent themselves with tentatively discus
sing in all their bearings, and which should
be dealt with with the utmost consider
alton on account Of the magnitude Of the
changes their adoption would involve
If Miss Willard be not checked OF rebuk-
ed by the organization she leads there is
serious danger that she may undo tie

the instruction of the Paris Commune in
1871. Its author, the we'll known special
correspondent and author, Edward King,
was one of the few Americans who saw
the Commune from it's beginning in the
winter to its terrible ending in the seven
days fighting in May, and his pictures of
the sanguinary events are life-like and
thrilling. The whole story of the insur-
rection is to be found in these breezy
pages, and the reader follows with inter-
est the wanderings of Grandpa Drubal
Corners and his two sprightly grandsons,
and the quaint and humorous s.Sny.''
Paris is painted with loving hand; her
magnificent palaces; her splendid avenues:
her miles Of parks; her frowning walls
and battlements, are all delineated from
close and careful observation. The plot
is exceedingly simple and yet thrilling in
the extreme. Grandpa Drubal has come
to Paris in search of a wandering and way
ward son, the father of Frank and Will.
He is swept into the mighty whirlpool of
the Communistic Instruction and narrow
ly escapes execution among the hostages
shot by the savage insurgents. Mean
time, Frank, who is boy of resources,
has been rescued from danger by Com
munist General, goes through many start
ing and exciting incidents, and nnally by
pure accident discovers his lost father.
He then, with his newly found parent,
and with Sny starts on an expedition for
tile rescue of Grandpa Drubal and little
Will; and the latter half of the book de-
scribes the hairbreadth escapes of the trio
and the ingenious devices by which they
finally succeed in rescuing the good old
man and little Will. Tie sinister figures
of the Commune and its armies are sketch
ed frankly, but nowhere is their course
defended or glorited. Under the Red
Flag is book which draws the proper
moral from the mighty insurrecton. A
vein Of humor which will be duly appre-
ciatea by all boy readers, relieves the
of one OF the best historical
stories that has been offered to the public
for many day. Illustrated limo, cloth,
