The Chicago Coliseum.

A Chicago man in Washington thus de-
scribes the Coliseum now being erected in
Chicago for the Democratic national con-
vention: "It will cover 265,000 square
feet, but a better idea is conveyed by the
statement that it is twice the size of Madi-
son Square Garden in New York. The
Republicans will hold their convention at
st. Louis In building 1S0 by $50 feet. 1t
could be put inside the Coliseum, and there
would be room enough left for race
course, football game, a bicycle tourney
and circus. The seating capacity for del
egates is over !, 200, and the speaker stand
will hold 300. The newspapers will be &C.
corded for actual working men seats for
$50. Their desks will be in front Of the
speaker and not back of him, as has been
too often the case. The gallery and prom
enade will accommodate 10, 900 spectators.
The arrangements for light and ventila.
tion are perfect. The location insures de.
lightful breeze, for the structure is iso.
lated. To the east are the greenswards Of
jackson park, and within sound of the
convention are the rippling waters of the
lake. think it would be advisable for the
delegates to bring overcoats and heavy un.

kN IMPERIAL PRAYER ANSWERED.
So at Least William Interprets an Incl

dent During the Canal Opening.
AS illustrating peculiar phase Of the
German emperor's mind, the following ex-
tract from o speech recently delivered by
him at dinner given by tho governor OF
Brandenburg to tho members of the pro-
Gincial diet Is of much interest. 1t is
taken from Berlin dispatch In the Lon
don Times:
'We human beings are fain and won't
80 see in the natural phenomena which
take place around US the finger of our
Gods providence AS, last June, the
Hohenzollern approached the entrance to
the Emperor Williams canal, the night
was drawing to an end. A heavy storm,
accompanied by thunder and lightning In
quick succession, was raging above us,
presenting an impressive spectacle. Ma
ture appeared to be In state Of violent
agitation.
LAS such d storm could jeopardlze the
success of the whole opening ceremony
my heart grew apprehensive as to whether
this undertaking also would be crowned
with triumph, for 1t was the great work
begun by my grandfather which now ap-
preached its consummation before the eyes
of the whole world, and an anxious prayer
forced itself from my heart asking whether
heaven would not grant US a favorite sign,
and whether we were destined to SEQ the
day of joy. The ship entered the lock and
passed through.
ION the other side, where the canal be.
gan, two enormous towers had been erect.
cd, such as the crusaders in olden times
constructed In order to make breach in
tho walls of fortresses and towns. From
both towers hung down German flags, and
a great rope was stretched across the canal
Slowly, surrounded by deep silence as of
the grave, the mighty ship moved forward.
Behind us rumbled the last thunder claps,
and the last lightning flashes played across
the sky, while In front Of us lay sullen
and dusky bank of clouds, out Of which
already golden sheen began to radiate.
1.-The vessel reached the line The ten
sion increased, but the resistance seemed
insuperable. The towers groaned and
creaked, but the cable parted at last, and
the ship glided into the waters of the canal
At the same moment the first rays of the
cleaning sun burst up through the banks
of clouds, dispensing them asunder, and In
one short hour the sun shone out In its
full majesty.
"Under such fair auspices was the canal
opened, and when the vessel appeared, fly
ing the banner Of the new united empire,
it was greeted by the thunder of cannon
from tho ships Of the entire world"

: ROYAL CHILDREN.
The Daily Routine of the German Emper-
or's Children.

or's Children.
How the German emperor will bring
up his only daughter is no subject Of
wonderment to the Berliners. They
know that, princess as she is, she will
be taught to be a good housewife, to
sew, to cook, perhaps, and to order din
ner certainly. For the sovereign's ideal
woman is strictly domestic person, as
his ideal man is stout soldier. His lit
lie boys haven't much fun in their daily
lives Concerning these lives sketch
says:
In the Spartan upbringing of his chill
dren the kaiser rivals his ancestor,
Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia. Accord
ing to Klausmann' "Leben in Deutsch-
en- Kaiserhaus," the life of the royal
children at Berlin is not sweetened by
hours of inactivity. In their years Of
infancy the kaiserin ministers to almost
all their wants, spends q good part Of
the day with them, and enters into all
their amusements. When the princes
arrive at the age Of things are all
changed and it is all work. They are
then allowed about an hour and half
out of their waking hours to themselves;
all the rest of their day is spent in study
and physical training. Even in holiday
time their tutors accompany them to
superintend their studies.
Here, for example, is an ordinary
days work for the crown prince and his
two brothers. In summer the happy
dreams of childhood are disturbed at
O'Clock, in winter at Z. Breakfast, coz
sisting of one cup Of tea and o roll, is
served at 1880. From s until 8 80 they
are hard at work at lessons, to help the
digestion of which they are supplied
with a second frauhstuck Of bread, with
water tinged with red Wine. Immedi-
ately afterward they start on their books
again, but mental exercise is mixed
with physical, and an hour is spent in
gymnastics and horse exercise, which
lasts till 1 10. Thereupon they accom-
pany to dinner the military and civil
governors of the castle, and, following
this, they have brief breathing time
to themselves. But the happy moments
soon flee away and again they have to
be at their exercises-this time science
and music till 6 O'Clock. Then supper is
served, and by s o'clock they are all
snug in bed.
In sport and other manly exercises
they are proficient and can ride as well
saddle as most people can
with. Their military education is also
pushed to the utmost, and that they

THE OLYMPtAN GAMES.
They Were Part and Parcel of the Life OF
the Ancient Greek. Il


the Ancient Greek. 4
These closing ten years of the nineteenth
century may be called the period of inter-
national games. If the Greek gymnastic
festival Of April, 1896, signified no more
than series of games offering the hospi-
tality of the country over which the CLAM
our Of glorious past fingers like rich
sunset, 1t would be notable event. But
1t is more than this, far more. The enter
prise revives the memory and spirit Of an
institution which shed peculiar luster on
the history Of classic Greece. 1t entered
into the life Of the ancient Greek to an ex-
tent which we of today can scarcely real
he. 1t was associated with his religion,
his civic pride, his ideals of art and his
highest patriotism. This institution was
the Olympic festival, celebrated every four
years at Olympia, on the river Alpheus
near the borders Of Ellis and Pisa, and so
kept up for more than 1000 years.
There were other national games of
similar sort, such as the Pythian, the Ne
mean and the Isthmian games, but these,
though highly regarded, were of far less
dignity and interest. When one speaks.
then, of the Olympic games, there arises
in the mind picture Of those vast gath
erings where all Greece, though to the very
time divided by civil wars, remembered
for brief period that it's borders bounded
one people--a people of one blood, one
glory and one destiny. The hold Of the
Olympic festival on the ancient Hellenic
world Is seen In the fact that from 776 B.
G. time was measured by olympiads, or
the four year intervals between the games.
The remote origin of this festival is hid
den in myths, as Is the case with so many
customs Of the classic ages. In general all
these legends asoribe the games to the
demigod Hercules as founder. Sufficient
time had passed for the early form of this
festival to have gone into decay before it
was revived and had historic beginning.
This occurred under the patronage of
Iphitus, king Of Ellis, and Lycurgus, the
celebrated lawglver of the Spartan COM
monwealth 1t is fixed at or about 8S4 B.
G. This revival soon lighted living spark
which fired Greek blood everywhere, and
In less than half q century the festival
became national In character.
Only contestants of pure Hellenic blood
were allowed to enter their names. As
time rolled on, and the Greeks (who were,
you know, great sailors and merchants)
pushed their maritime enterprises and es.

NEW AMsTERDAM's TICKLE LOVERS.
Measures Taken by Old Peter Stuyyesant
to Keep People of One Mind.


We're old Peter Stuyvesant now the ruler
of New York, and the conditions the same
as they were $40 years ago. novelists, or a
great many of them, who tell tales of New
York would have to go out of business for
lack of material on which to build the
plots of their stories "Fickle and change
iul ever is woman" says Virgil, and on
thot statement the average story teller
builds his tale, and never is he better
pleased than when his heroine breaks her
engagement lust before the marriage. and
gives MIN the JOY or bringing them TO-
gether again and of making the wedding
bells ring merrily at the end Of the last
chapter.
Not that the maidens Of New Amster-
dam were less tickle and changeful than
are the maidens Of New York. Possibly
they were more SO, because old Peter was
at one time grievously worried about It,.
There had appeared in the colony a spirit
of frivolity that did not at all accord with
the staid Dutch character. Even the
phlegmatio young burghors were affected
by 1t, and soon it camo to be q matter of
scandal that young men and young women
became engaged to be married, and after
the banns had been published calmly de-
oided that they didn't want to marry and
announced that fact to the people Some
times the engagements were broken by
common consent, sometimes the beaus re-
pented of their rashness, and again the
bellies exercised their time honored prerog-
ative to change their minds AT any rate,
whoever was at fault, the scarcity of mar
riages began to worry the old heads of the
colony, and the lightness with which en-
gagements were broken made people talk
of the degeneraoy Of their children.
This had gone ON for some time, and no
remedy had been found. 'Persuasions and
entreaties by the parents were Of no avail.
The young folks laughed at them, and,
with the carelessness of youth, continued
to make and break engagements at will,
and as natural result there were good
| many sore hearts In New Amsterdam.
Something had to be done and done
quickly. New Amsterdam had man
equal to this emergency. as for all others.

! M. cERNUscttI DESCRIBED.
Els Fortune Bit Mysterious. but His Use
of 1t Admirable.

Of 1t Admirable.
The death of NJ. Cernuschi causes a
wide gap in a social sphere of which
the rastaquouere world knew nothing.
One found in his house the pick of Pa
risian society without the faint of fash
ionable levity or plutocratic "swag-
GER" Everything there was what it
professed to be, and the best of its kind.
rernuschi disliked advertisement
There was touch of Monte Cristo in
The man and his establishment. One
felt that his career was honorable
through and through. Still, the origin
Of his great fortune seemed to many a
mystery. Iheard ages ago that he made
it in Tunisian concessions and loans.
He once told me that, after he had
climbed to the possession of $50, 900, he
lost it all in bad speculation, and was
SO poor that he was glad to find place
where he could dine for 23 sous instead
of 81 sous.
1t was said that there never was a
woman in his life. This was mistake.
He was strongly attached by gratitude
and admiration of an intellectual char
acter to Nine. Cornu, the later Emperor
Napoleon's foster sister. She got him
through the pontifical prisons after the
fall Of the Roman constituante, Of
which he was a member. Her influence
was exerteG in his behalf when he went
into financial enterprises here.
There never was G truer friend to
his friends than Cernuschi. One had no
need with him to proclaim ones virtues
He saw through them-and through
ones faults too-but struck balance,
and when it was On the side of virtues,
overlooked the defects.
I think I never saw q handsomer man
than he was 20 years ago. He was as
1.-the as greyhound, had a keen but
kindly countenance, q grand though
quite natural air, and very tall figure,
on which was set a beautiful head,
with shock Of hair that rose rebel
liously and yet gracefully from the
forehead.
He was very much the artist, but
could not draw stroke. His japanese
collection had no match in Or out of
Japan. Cernuschi was perhaps the hand
somest thing in it. He was brought up
at the Jesuits' school at Monza, but
was SO surfeited with Christian art as
to lose all taste for it. He used to sit
often for hours looking at his bronze
statue of Buddha and admiring its be-
nign expression. 1t was II feet high
