London has swallowed up dinburgh
and the provincial centers; Dublin is a
silent sister; Melbourne and Sydney
produce very little; Canada cannot hold
out against New York. which is absorb
ing Boston. Philadelphia and Baltimore.
During the last five or six years, how
ever, there has sprung up in the city OF
Chicago a new literary center and a new
center of publishing. There exists in
this city of 100000 inhabitants, which
60 years ago was but q kind of barbican
or advanced post against the red Indian,
a company of noveists, poets and essay
lists, who are united, If not by assOcia-
lions and clubs, at least by an earnest
resolution to cultivate letters. 1t may
be objected that this is nothing but
provincial coterie, such as we in this
country have seen at Lichfield, Norwich
and other places, and that, like all such
societies, it VIII presently disappear
I do not think that this viii be the fate
of the Chicago movement, for several
reasons. First, the city is SO huge that
there must be continually born in it,
or brought into it from the country,
persons with the literary gift; next,
there exists in the northwest states an
unbounded adniratiOn for the literary
calling-a feeling which ought by itself
to raise up aspirants. thirdly, they have
at Chicago a university, with professors
Of literature and libraries; they also
have, for the higher culture, colleges
and academies of music, theaters and
opera houses, galleries Of paintings,
schools of art and lectures OF all kinds;
they have a journal of literary eriti-
cism. sober, conscientious and scholar
ly, from every point of view un-
surpassed by any other literary journal
iIl America or England. Given, there
fore, a people who are always ready to
pour out their love and respect upon
every writer who can touch their
hearts; given these country circles Of
culture; given a great city in which all
the problems of human life can be
studied; given, again, a company Of
men and women resolved to give ell
that is best in them to the pursuit of
letters, it would be strange, indeed, if
there did not come out of all this
growth of literature worthy of joining
the literature of Shakespeare, Milton
and Pope, Fielding and Thackeray,
Lowell and LongfellOv, Emerson and
Motley"
Mr.. Besant visited Chicago several
years ago and has numerous times paid
tribute to the city.

MESSAGE ON PENSIONS.
The President Thinks a Widow Who
Remarries Should Lose Her Rights

The President Thinks a Widow Who
Remarries Should Lose Her Rights
Washington, June 1.-The president
has returned to congress three private
pension bills, with his veto in each case
In the case of two of the bills granting
pensions to Mrs. Amanda WoodcOck
and Jonathan Scott, both originated In
the house, he points out that owing to
careless description in the bills. the
pensions could not be paid under their
terms.
In the other bill granting a pension
10 Helen NJ Jacobs, the president fOrc1-
bly, sets out his objection to allowing
pensions to widows of soldiers who are
remarked The vetoes read as follows.

out approval senate bill No 149, emit

is to grant q pension of SO per month
to Helen ". Jacobs of Rochester, Ind.

from the records Of the war depart
ment that Benz. O. West served in the
Mexican war from January to Novem-
Der IN the year 1917 The beneficiary
named in this bill was married to him
in 1850 and he died in 1856 She was
pensiOned as his widow and received
such pension from the date of her nus

Jacobs, WhereupOn her pension ceased,
but two minor children We're awarded
pensions and continued in the receipt
of the same until January, 1873 when
the youngest child became 16 years of
age
The entire absence of any fixed, or
reasonable principle, or rule regulating
private pension legislation al this time
suggests the danger of its near APP
proach in many places to caprice and
favoritism.

The yacht racing season of 1896 was
successfully inaugurated on Long Island
sound recently when the newly organized
Huguenot Yacht club held a series of spe-
cial races for half raters, 21 footers and
cabin and open cats. AS might have been
expected, the chief interest oentered in the
performances OF the little half raters That
there will be some keen racing in this
class this season was fully proved when no
less than seven of these lilliputian yachts
took part in the race. To the surprise Of
many persons, the Imp, owned by John
NJ Hamilton of the Red Dragon Canoe
club of Philadelphia, defeated the entire
feet, which included boats designed by
Herreshof, Huntington, Stephens, Ridgby
and others.
The Imp, which was designed and built
by Thomas Chaplain, is simply an i'm
proved boat of the noted Bouncer type.
Her failure to receive the fruits of her vic
tory was due to peculiar ruling Of the
regatta committee which disqualified the
Imp because she was sailed by a prOfes-

The footsteps of a high barometer are
supposed to be followed by warmer
weather, but the high which strolled
over Kansas Sunday morning evidently
stepped so lightly that the warm wealth

went astray

of the promises of the weather bureau,
to make its appearance in eastern Kan

mometer registered 81 degrees above,
only five degrees higher than yester-
day.
The weather bureau today sends out
the same prediction as sent out yester-
day. 1t calls for fair weather tonight,
and fair and warmer weather tOmOr-
row.

The Wichita-Seott county case was
to have come up before the railway
commission this morning, but owing to
the absence of County Attorney Burns
of Wichita county the matter was de-
layed until late this afternoon.
This is the case wherein the citizens
of Wichita county seek to have the
Great Bend extension of the Santa Fe
run through to Selkirk, Wichita cOun-
ty- The Santa F'e a short time ago
removed the rolling stock and discOn-
tinued the running of the line. This
leaves the people of Wichita county
without railroad facilities and besides
that, the county has voted S44, 600 bonds
for the road, and does not want to lose
all or a part of that amount.
Representative Frank Grimes and
County Attorney Burns of Wichita
county are counsel for the citizens of
the county and ]. S. Caldwell of Leoti,

Buying orders We're scarce with selling

severe liquidation started at once. This

selling pressure became less urgent, the
early offerings being well absorbed and
prices rallied. July opened irregular

lied to 565sc
Corn was heavy at the start on the

PRODUCTION to the English edition Of
Stanley Waterl0o's eAn Odd Situation,' p
lately announced in London. "A N6an
and a Woman" by the same author, was
recently presented to British readers
and received much favorable notice.
Sir Walter takes occasion in his essay
Of some length to comment upon Chi
cago as a literary center thus
''The appearance of new literary
and publishing center is an event Of
great interest, if only on account Of its
rarity Hitherto it has seemed as if
the tendency among the English-speall-
ing nations was to concentrate, rather
than to increase, the literary centers.
