The cause OF most general interest is
OF course the one setting aside money for
the library, partly because of its i'm.
portance and partly because it shows 60
plainly the character Ct Mr.. Crerar.
10 the first part Of the will it is provid-
ed that colossal statue of Abraham
Lincoln be erected and in this clause
Robert Z. Lincoln is made one OF the
Board OF Directors.
John Crerar's wishes in regard to the
character of the Library are given in
three forcible sentences.
Il desire the books and periodicals
selected with view TO create and sus-
tain healthy, moral and Christian
sentiment in the community, and that

Chicago Notes.

In Ciicsgo business and in other
things here there is no limit one way or
the other. see things on such big
scale that I feel suddenly a meaching
shame at LincolLis insigniiicance or
sgain / see such little transactions that
/ feel as If Lincoln alter all amounted to
something. Orders are given here that
Lincoln merchants could not fill and
other orders that they would hardly
bother themselves about.
There is so much light housekeepirg
dcne here. especially down well into the
city, that grocers and market men have
modified business accordingly. Soup
punches with a small carrot. a tiny
onion, two inches OF celery stalk and
leaf Of parsley the size Of half. dollar,
all for penny. are a part OF a grocer's
stock in trade. One can buy a half cents
worth of onions and half cents worth
of yeast, hand over a penny and get a

When once l had found out that
groceries could be sold in penny lots /

worth OF milk taily to our next neigh
Dor. was a millionaire who sent his milk
into Chicago each morning on a special
train. Ii seemed odd DO, 70. the daily
papers to be carted over the city in or

dollars if they had not been caught. On
TIE other hand there are violations aud
evasions OF the law here that even Chi
cago neei not be ashamed OF. There
was Holmes, and more recently Spauld-
ing. There is Leutgert-who possibly
boiled his wife up in potash ard other
chemicals. And il position may be
presumed to magnify a crime, there arc
the perpetual dishonesties aud chemes

cumulate until they are no longer OF
more than passing interest. Murders
are 60 common that the city papers
rarely give them more than a half col.
umn unless there are unusually revolt
ing features as in the Leutgert case.
There are, 30 to speak. cosmopolitan
methods of breaking laws.
Perhaps nothing grew upon me with
more significance than the attitude Of
the press here and the people towards
crime ard especially towards crime
in government. One can hardly blame
the papers for light editorials about
David Z. Bates who has a half dozen
wives and is engaged TO several pro-
spective brides, but there was something
altogether out OF place in the POPULARITY
about Alderman Mangler, saloon keeper,
who lied 10 the first place. or refuses TO
tell the truth now, concerning bribery in
the city government. Perhaps the most
shining example of these frivolous edi-
torials was in Daily News of last week
Irregularities had been discovered in tie
water Office. The editorial begins:
The discovery Of a large fresh batch
OF frauds in the water Office brings the
administration face to face with a grave
crisis.
The crisis arise from the fact that the
storage re ons in the city hall for water
Office frauds is completely exhausted.
The question is. what shall be done with
the new batch?'
And 90 on for half column. 1t is as
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1897-08-28

il frauds were too common for anything
except to create little fun.
Tho squabble over tbs civil service in
the city government is a constant source
of merrimept. Between these matters
are sandwiched in good humored little
pokes at Ripley. the chief of police, who
is unable to find any gambling in Chicago.
And it is no better among the people
than among the newspapers. The
papers would not print such trash as
they do, if they did not know it was &C
ceptab!e to readers. On the street cars
the conversation is animated arguments
for socialism or hilarious jokes on the
city fathers.
The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1897-08-28

There are funny things in John Gre
rar's will. Mr. Crerar is the founder OF
the John Crersr Library. There are fifty
two fuses in the will and the fiftieth
gives the money for the library. None
OF these clauses dispose OF less than
$1,000. Most of them give from $4,000
to 100000. The whole amount given
outside Of the Library fund is about a
million and half. Yet there was left
about twice this much for the library
itself.
The will by its wording tells much Of
the man himself. He was a Scotchman
with some of the testiness OF the Scotch
character. He leaves large fortunes to
his cousin, and second cousins with

This he did and then demanded of the
Spaniards that the body be disinterred
and post morsem be had. This they

as almost to prove it. it is reported that
he and the Spanish officials had sharp
words on the subject.
Gen. Lee cabled Secretary Olney that
the administration must uphold him in
the demand for the instant release OF
all Americans unjustly imprisoned as
political suspects or give them speedy
