A Meeting May Not Be Held There

1t would not be too late, even If they waited

MICHAEL'S MOVEMENTS.
Little Fellow n Puzzle to the People
of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15-Jimmy Michael is still
the little fellow is pretty much of an enigma
From his answers this morning it was
learned thta he was not having any special
make of pacing machines built here, and that
he will stay in town until he completes some
arrangements of which he does not care to
speak. Michael does not know as yet when
he will start abroad, but says he will be
back in time for the next racing season.
When asked if he would make his home in
Chicago, he said:
ooh, no. We will go where the racing is
and make our home there There is lots Of
interest in the East now"
Michael thinks the report is true that John
son and Eek have combined, but laughed
pleasantly at the idea that Johnny is after
him for a match race. 1t is the general
opinion that the little fellow is dickering with
some wheel firm. He will follow the plan
of racing already outlined by him at the end
of the season.

Mrs Humphrey Ward was the sub
lures on famous writer's of fiction de-
livered by DR.. Richard Burton at Park
Congregational church last evening.
DR.. Burton declared that in his opin-
ion Mrs. Ward was George Eliot's one
successor among women writers. Two
great virtues they possessed in COM
mon, breadth and justice. They also
had other similar traits.
DR.. Burton called attention to the
fact that both of these illustrious
women devoted their earlier labors to
scholarly work in the field of litera-
ture, before they attempted fiction.
George Eliot was thirty-seven years
of age before she produced her first
novel, and Mrs. Ward had reached the
thirties before she wrote her first fic-
ton.
Reviewing the literary career of Mrs.
Ward, the lecturer began with her
first fiction, Miss Brotherton." 1t was,
he said, a very enjoyable story of Lon
don society, embodying strong and
interesting love sketch, that ended
happily. 1t was written at time
when 1t was as necessary to end a
days to give it a sad ending. But
Miss Brotherton," while a pleasing
little novel, bore no trace of Mrs.
Wards characteristic qualities. 1t was
not deep. 1t contained little or no
suggestion of the distinctive creations
that were to come.
Passing on. DR.. Burton came to the
novel that at once raised Mrs. Ward to
the eminence of national distinction,
Robert Elsmere." The lecturer refer
red to the letter from Gladstone which
this famous work brought forth, in
which the illuStrious statesman eX-
pressed his views Of the novel. To
this letter DR.. Burton attributed much
of the immediate success Of the book,
Notwithstanding that Gladstone did not
bestow unqualified praise upon it. But
what was still more effective In be-
half Of the story, he gave it space and
attention.
1T Is better to damn a book than
not to mention it," said DR.. Burton.
In this connection DR.. Burton cited
another instance in. which Gladstone's
notice and communication Of play
gave 1t instantaneous popularity in
England. Said the lecturer:
Some three years ago Wilson Bar
rett, an English actor and playwright,
wrote and produced a so-called re-
ligious drama entitled The Sign of
the Cross Mr. Gladstone witnessed
a performance of it, and, before he had
cooled off, he wrote an enthusiastic
letter about it. 1t achieved a great
success in London. Then it was pro-
duced in New York, where it made
flat failure. Since then 1t has been
played elsewhere in this country with
much success, I believe
Il witnessed 1t myself, and I will
say that it seemed to me a coarse
spectacular affair."" added DR.. Burton

TOOK HIS FAMILY HOME.
James O'ROurlSe Moves His Wife,
children and Their Diphtheria
From the HosDitnI

James ORourke, a railroad engineer
living at 609 Mississippi street. made
things lively around the health Office
yesterday afternoon.
About fifteen days ago O'Rourke's
wife and three children were stricken
with diphtheria The attending phy-
sician, DR.. Buckley, advised that the
1amlly be taken to the city hospital, as
the treatment at that institution would
be better and the house would not
have to be quarantined
This was agreed to, and Mrs.
O'Rourke and three children went to
the hospital. Yesterday Mr. O'Rourke
insisted that he wanted his wife and
family home. Health Inspector Sinks
Informed O'Rourke that culture from
the Threats of Mrs. O'Rourke and two
of the children showed that they still
had the disease.
The inspector advised that the fam
lily be left at the hospital two or three
days longer. In case they were moved
at present to their home the inspector
explained the house would have to be
quarantined, sign put up, and after
ward the residence disinfected.
O'Rourke, however, insisted that
home they should go and started out
to secure a hack to carry the family
from the hospital to the family resi-
dence. He was successful, and last
evening the house physician at the
hospital stated the O'Rourkes had left
that institution.
The health department will today
look up the hackman who dI we the
family, and the vehicle will be disin-
fected and declared out of service for
a couple of weeks. The O'Rourke resi-
dence will also be quarantined, and a
diphtheria sign tackled on the house,
the health officers say, notwithstand-
ing the objections Of the head Of the
family.
