Mr.. and Mrs. Granville Grey-the most
popular citizens of Melbourne-no other
than my old friends, Luke Bradley and
his sister Kate.

Luke Bradley, | said to myself,
''you killed your father, robbed the ex-

The fire on Goose Island recently re-
leased a large quantity of grain in the
elevators which ran into the lake. A
salvage company has now undertaken
to raise this grain from the bottom
and make such use of it as 1t can Ma
chinery is to be put up for drying the
grain when 1t has been dredged from
the lake.
Chicago's parks are the woodlands
OF its inhabitants, and form the scene
Of the greater part Of the public out
door life. Perhaps it is a trifle of the
artistic temperament diffused among
this city's inhabitants which has made
the public pleasure grounds. At any
rate, 1t is certain that except in the ex-
treme heat of the two or three summer
spells. there have never been more peo-
pie on foot in the parks during the past
two weeks. For once the omnipresent
bicycle has been neglected and the
number Of carriages greatly increased.
Many young people of the city have
wandered afoot through the rlstling
leaves under the gorgeous trees of the
city's gardens. 1t appears as II this
season OF the year made human things
wish to get close to nature.
Visitors to the parks in the last two
weeks of Indian summer have been am
ply repaid for the time spent there. On
the north, west, and south sides of the
city the glory OF the autumn has de-
scended in lavish measure upon the
public grounds, has turned everything
to gold. Long rides BY street car, car
rlage, or bicycle are not necessary to
see nature dressed in her most resplen-
dent finery, for each of the parks is
sufficient in itself.

Special Chicago Letter.

Special Chicago Letter.
The election excitement is quietly
dying out, but the campaign which has
just closed will he one long remem-
bered in this city and State. Nothing
has ever before equalled the vigor and
aggressiveness of the contest.
Governor Altgeld has addressed a
long letter to his party in the State.
He reioices that the Gold Democrats
left the party and predicts that another
campaign of education will insure the
triumph of bimetallism The Cover
nor takes special pleasure in referring
to the small figure cut by his opponents
in the Democratic party. He predicts
bond issues and numerous government
Jobs, with an increase of the army.
Reports from London indicate that
the deepest interest was taken there
in the result of the election in this
country. and because of the fierceness
of the fight in this State that interest
settled in Chicago. Wherever Ameri-
cans gathered this interest was mani
fest, and it is estimated that in London
not less than 100000 was placed on
the result, chiefly by Chicago people.
Besides the ordinary bets, there has
been in London much of what is called
freak betting. Gen. Morgan, a Brook
lyn silverite made bet in which he
engaged, in the event of Bryan's de-
feat, to have all of his teeth drawn.
In the event of McKinley's defeat his
opponents, four in number, agreed to
have their boards and mustaches shay
ed off. The parties to the bet are un-
der a penalty of $500 each in case of
failure to fulfil the terms of the wager,
and articles have been signed and wit
messed to that effect 1t is understood
that the services of a dentist capable
of extracting teeth without pain have
been in demand TO meet other cases Of
freak betting.
The Americans in Paris, of whom
there are not a few from this city, re-
port the same intense interest having
been taken in the result of our cleo
tion, but no such extensive betting was
carried on there as in London.
A divorce proceeding between people
in high life always attracts attention,
while such proceedings instituted by
theatrical people are passed over with
out much comment. An exception to
this general rule is the case of the well
known Chicago manager, David Hem
dersOn. who has filed a suit for divorce
from his wife, Grace Henderson, the
leading lady of Under the Polar Star"
company.

Dervishes' Suits of Mail.

The old story that the dervishes pos
Sessed swords and coats of mail datir @
back to the Crusades is confirmed by tn e
capture of some OF these interestin ng
relies after the recent engagement on
the Nile. The history of the armor and
weapons used originally in Palestine,
and found again after 760 years in the
Soudan, would make breathless chap
ter OF romance. History plays the ro-
mantle drama on scale that the most
daring melo-dramatic playwright may
envy, for who, even on the stage, would
nave ventured to make the officer of
British expedition in the Soudan en-
counter Arab warriors clad in the mail
,f Richard Couer de Icons knights?

The Bicycle Fire Engine.

This invention is simplicity itself,
consisting of two tandem bicycles so
coupled as to form a "quadricycle." In
the space between them is fixed a
winder, or reel, on which a length of
hose is kept, four suction pipes and the
pump, which Is in itself a patent, and
occupies position by the axle connect
ing the two driving wheels. 1t is small
and compact, will pump from pond,
rivers, cistern, ETC., and will throw a
Jet of water height of between 80 and
80 feet.
The manner in which the whole
thing Is worked is exceedingly clever.
Of the two men sitting in front, one
guides the machine and the other
sounds an alarm, while during the
| journey the two men seated behind do
nothing but pedal. Arrived at the spot
where it Is needed, two men run out
and fix the hose, a patent mechanical
contrivance raises the driving wheels
and the two back seats are resumed,
the pedaling which their occupants
now do having the effects of warking
the pump. while the machine is station
ary.
1t will easily be imagined with what
celerity the scene of the fire may be
reached and jet of water directed
againt the flames with an apparatus of
this kind, for the whole concern weighs
only some 120 pounds. Even to large
towns 1t would be decided acquisition
from the certainty of its superiority in
speed over the horse-drawn engines;
while for village and country districts
anything more suitable can hardly be
imagined. Certainly such a contriv-
ance has long been a need in the latter
! places, where the arrangements for do
ng battle with fire are frequently of
rather primitive kind.
The machine has been throughly
] ested in France and England, and has
! given the most unqualified satisfaction.

There is practically no limit to the
