LAwLESS ~POPOCRATs.
They Threaten to Parade at Chicago
in Defiance of Authorities.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-Judge Tuley to-day
refused to issue an injunction restraining
Chief of Police Badenoch from interfering
with the free-silver parade on the night of
Saturday, Oct. 81. He held that the court
had no jurisdiction in the matter and that
the right to allow the parade was vested in
the chief of police. When the Democratic
county m applied for permission to
have a parade in the down town streets on
that evening Chief Badenoch refused on
the ground that permission had already
been granted to the Republicans for that
after futile attempts at compromise with
the Republican leaders, the matter was
in open court to-day that they will fight
the police force or any one else who at
temps to prevent their marching in parade
on the night of Oct. 81. Chief Badenoch, on
the other hand. declares that it would en-
danger the peace of the city to have the
two opposing political factions marching
the Democrats will not he allowed to
parade. Developments are Being eagerly
awaited.
~Later-After bordering deeply over the
matter the Democratic leaders had about
come to the conclusion late tonight to hold
the proposed parade on the West Side in
stead of in the downtown business streets,
as originally intended. At a late hour the
Democrats asked for and obtained a per-
nit for their West Side parade and it was
granted by the chief of police. The last
chance of trouble has now disappeared.

THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
The Park Is a splendid place to study
human nature. We meet all sorts Of
humanity here. The tourists are strong

haunts Of civilization by the presence
in the surrounding woods OF the animal
kingdom. Animal nature can, there

this and resort here in great numbers.

DELIGHTFIJL CLIMATE.

The nearness of the snow-covered
Alps seems to make 1t all the more
wonderful. but in that very nearness
Of the mountains lies the explanation
Of the exceptionally mild climate Of the
Riviera. They act as a barrier against
the north winds, and their rocky slope
seems to gather the heat Of the sun
and store 1t up to nourish the tropical
vegetation. AS an example Of the pro-
lection they afford, 1t Is said that quite
often, when ten miles out on the Medi-
terranean a storm Is raging, the Bay OF
Nice is as calm and still as lake. Very
many travellers say that this Bay OF

the foreground Is the old town, with Its
harbor and shipping, and then, separ-
ating it from the magnificent sweep OF
the bay on which the new town IS buiit,
Is the rocky eminence crowned with the
fort. Back Of the town the orange clad
hills rise till they become mountains,
and back of these still larger noun
tains, the Alps themselves. covered
with snow.
It can safely be said that the main in
dustry of Nice Is visitors. Most of its
ninety thousand inhabitants depend, IN
one way or another. on the strangers
who flock here during the winter. Ho-
tells and pensions rise on every hand,
and while they are all good. still not
all are exceedingly expensive, and 1t

are English and Americans, and be-

THE CASINO.

of the city depends on Its attractive
ness, have erected q very fine casino

A MAGNIFICENT WALK.

But the shops are by no means the
most interesting things in Nice. It Is
difficult to say just what Is the most
interesting thing, but perhaps the
Promenade des Anglais would deserve
that honor. This promenade Is a mag
nificent walk along the curving shore
of the bay Of Nice, two miles long, and
paved for good part Of the way with
a fine granolithic pavement. On one
side is the Mediterranean, and on the
other the principal drive Of the city,
nearly always filled with fine turnouts,
and bordered with magnificent hotels
and Villas. The hotels along the Ri
viera are a very different thing from
those on American seaside resorts, for
they are built Of stone and brick in
stead OF wood, and nearly always lay
claim to some architectural quality.
The people In the carriages and on the
promenade are usually very swell
looking crowd, and towards three
o'clock, the fashionable hour, 1t pre-
sents a very gay sight. The view Of
the mountains which surround Nice Is
very fine, either facing up or down the
promenade, and take 1t all in all, 1t well
bears out its reputation of being one Of
the most beautiful walks in Europe.
The public gardens, which connect
