He is not.
During the collection of the 5O-cent as
sessments Secretary Melville's patch over
one eye did not interfere q little bit with
his ability to see if any delegation was shy.
Charlie O'Neil when he came up to ante
his delegations assessment paid it all in free
silver dollars.
w. I. Burbank was the treasurer for his
delegation and of course when assessments
were due had a barrel of coin ready. Mr..
Burbank is probably the richest Democrat
in the city. And once he was reporter.
Eddie Morris was ubiquitous: He fitted

For once the pull seemed to push with the

Sam Dugan has justly earned the title of
the only professional sergeant-at-arms in the
city: He managed to keep order and with
no kicks from any one How he did it is a
secret on the business that he only seems to
understand.
Martin Marsh stopped building railroads
long enough to do some clever work. He
just the same.
R. J. Adcock was left off the committees,
and Tom McCaffery can tell something
about how this came about, but he won't.
By the way, Mr.: McCafery found that

The press gang owes many thanks to Sec

made for their quarters The only i'm
prOvement that can be suggested is that next
time little more room would be acceptable.
The arrangements were excellent and were
most highly appreciated.

oratory with pebbles in his mouth, made
several orations.
Adolph Ramish has pluck enough to fight
lion. He ,was the only man in the hall
who would take up the Eighth wards objec-

members of contesting delegations. He is
said to use emery dust on his arguments
before he uses them-they are so smooth
Mr.. H. Brewer of Vernon was one of the
happiest men in the hall: He looked at the

his whiskers whenever he saw shorn man

Earnest Abs Hagan showered a number of
circulars about the place indicating his un-

engineer, but these did not seem to bother

Shakespearian illusions once in while
which would not have made his opponent
happy if he had heard them.

~ COURTESY OF THE UNIvER-

COLLEGE DEGREE ACCEPTED
But the Offers Of Kisses Made by Am
bilious Women Were Declined
With Thanks
Associated Press Special Wire.

CHICAGO, Oct. H.-Jubilee enthusiasm
was heightened today by thousands OF flags
fluttcring in the breeze, while jostling crowds
filed all the streets near the business CEN
ter, Almost from dawn distinguished guests
arrived in droves. General Miles and staff
came in early and were escorted to their
hotel. The President rose much refreshed
after the nights rest. At 1880 the Presi-
Dental party left Captain McWilliam's
house for the University of Chicago, where
the degree of doctor of laws was con-
ferred upon the President this afternoon.
After the ceremonies in Kent hall, the
president was escorted through Washington
park and up to the armory. Nearly the
whole distance the streets were lined with
people, who stood in the cold, drizzling rain
and chccred as the presidents closed car
riagc passed by. At the armory the de-
tachments of the Illinois naval reserve, the
First Illinois infantry and the Fourth regi-
ment infantry from Fort Sheridan, were
lined up with the policemen to assist in
preserving order. Thousands had gathered
there to greet the president. The party en-
tered the armory with the local reception
committee and took places upon the plat
form.
For an hour and ten minutes the president
shook hands with thousands who streamed'
by him.
During the time number of young women
tried to kiss the president, but although
there were several narrow escapes, none
of the ambitious women succeeded. A num-
Der of men and women kissed the presidents
hand, however.
When the public reception had closed, the
president and his party entered their car
riages and were driven to the Auditorium
hotel, where they sat down to dinner
given in their honor by the jubilee reception
committee Later, the president met
them he would address the railway mems
mass meeting at the First regiment armory
on Thursday afternen. rlen the pre.i-
dent left for the New ilianrs residence. He
was somewhat fatigued, and retired soon
after reaching the house.

A BARN BURNED
Suspicious Action Of the Reported
Lessee Of the Place

The fire department responded to an
alarm this morning at 20 o'clock, sounded
from box "a, corner of Washington and Main
streets. The fire was in small barn in the
rear of the house at 23l West Eighteenth
street, occupied, so the neighbors said, by
A. NJ. Greene, one of the firm of Banks u
Greene, proprietors of the Broad Gauge de-
partment store at 1875 South Main street.
The barn was entirely destroyed, as were the
contents, which are reported to have been
several bales of hay. The corner of an adj
joining shed in theEear of No. 235, occupied
by Mrs. Ferish, was burned on one corner.
The total damage could not have amounted
to more than $75.
The occupants of the house at No. 23l.
where Greene was said to reside, acted in
such a peculiar manner as to arouse sus-
picion. The man refused to give any in
formation concerning the fire, or the owners
of the place. He simply shut the door in
the face of inquirers and said that he did not
want any report made of the fire A num-
ber of policemen were present. and they will
doubtless investigate the cause of the fire.

A Railway Rate War

CHICAGO, Oct. ia rate war seems to
be imminent. Railway accusations against
the Canadian Pacific were made today in a
circular letter issued by General Passenger
Agent Whitney of the Great Northern
railway. The letter states that the Cana
dian Pacific has not kept faith with the
American roads in so far as a restoration
of the eastbound passenger rate is con-
cerned, and it is intimated that the Great
Northern is preparing to adopt retaliatory
measures. This, it is believed, means that
the Great Northern will put into effect the
other war basis of rates unless the Canadian
Pacific acts in good faith.

A DEMO CRATIC RALLY.
Some Surprising Speeches startIe Salem
Street.

Mr.. Carroll gave a party; Mr.. VIM. r.
Carroll who keeps store on Salem street.
The Democratic city committe gave the
affair it's approval but Mr.. Carroll paid
the bills. He paid for the platform which
leaned toward Sawyer's for the six flaring
torches that illuminated it, and for the
services of Merriman's band which played
to the assembled throng. We have the au-
thority Of the Democratic candidate fol-
county attorney for these things. He did
not say whether Mr.. Carroll also hired
the speakers. If he did--but no matter
about that.
In the neighborhood of 800 people
gathered at the corner of Clark
and Salem streets when the speaking be-
gan. Councilman Connolly of Ward
presided. He is a nice looking young
gentleman and he. made some extremely
absurd statements about the wickedness
of the Republicans in starving to death
soldiers at Montauk. He introd uced
Councilman f. +. Driscoll who had con-
siderable to say about the equal many and
the favored few, by the former meaning
to designate the Democratic party. He
again and again exhorted his hearers to
turn out and vote next week.
Mr.. Joseph "A. McGawan was intro
duced by Mr.. Connolly as an orator Of
reputatio all over New England, a repre-
sentation which Mr.. NcGawan proceeded
to justify by telling his audience that the
Democratic party remembers the past and
looks forward to the present. This is do
ing we'll for party which is go far from
being up to the times. 1t has sometimes
been suspected of looking forward to the
past. He thought neither the tariff nor
financial issues Of much account this year
and pointed with pride to the record of
the Democrats In favor of state rights
and in opposition to federalism as If be-
lieving that was of some consequences to-
day even If the tariff was not. He did not
talk long giving way to the orator OF the
evening as be called Mr.. Levi ('reenleaf.
who is the Democratic candidate for
county attorney.
Mr.. Greenleaf thought the Republicans
were trying to grind the people down to
serfdom, he said. He announced that he
believed in free trade, free speech and free
silver, while the Republicans only
favored free rum. He pointed with the
finger Of soorn to. the foreign born citizen
who dared to vote any but the Democratic
ticket, as if their rights we're restrained IN
some my sterious way in which other men
were not.
At last accounts Mr.. Carrolls party was
in full blast and sn was Mr.. Greenleaf.
