Rad Weather Interferes.

The peace jubilee at Chicago was
ashered in With torrents of rain, that
suiekly transformed gay decorations
in the shape of flags and bunting into
wet rags. Wind played sad havoc
with many Of the majestic peace
arches, several being replaced. Those
who came hundreds OF miles to look
upon the scene Of magnificent splendor
that had been prepared arrived only
TO find themselves in a yeritable fnuu
hole. The releeming feature of it all
was the presence of the president OF
the United States, his wife and several
% the members of his official family,
Including Gen. Nelson A. Miles. All
sorts aud conditions of people seemed
anxious To- 30 honor to the chief exec
utiye. The university of Chicago,
founded by John d. Rockefeller. con-
ferred the degree of LII ID. upon nim
CoaSerring the Degree
The programme commenced with a
luncheon and reception at the resi-
dence of Or. W. r. Harper. president
Of the university of Chicago. The
presidential party was composed OF
Secretary and Mrs. Gage, Secretary
Bliss, Secretary and Miss Wilson. Sec
rotary Porter, Assistant Secretary Cor
telyou, Capt. and Mrs. Lafayette Nc
Williams, Miss Mary McWilliams, Miss
Sara Duncan. a niece, Mr. James Nc
Kinfey, nephew of the president, and
Mr. Thomas McWiiliams. They were
escorted by Mr.. Thomas B. Bryan OF
the peace jubilee committee, Mr.. Ned
Arden Flood, director of the Uniyer-
sity Press, and Mrs. Flood. The Off
cials of the university of Chicago, com
prising the members of the board OF
trustees, the senate and the cOnsuis,
with their wives and number of
other literary and learned people, were
invited to meet the president, includ-
ing Archbishop Ireland, Rabbi Hirsch,
che Rev Dr. BarrOws and others equal
ay we'll known and distinguished. The
house was handsomely decorated with
white roses and chrysanthemums. and
the national colOrs were draped about
the stairway and the doors, mantels
and windows throughout the house.

pretended even BY the wisest states
men Of their times.
Our colonial ancestors did not en-
ter upon their war originally for in
dependence. Abraham Lincoln did not
start out to free the slaves, but to save
the union. The war with Spain was
not of our seeking, and some of its
consequences may not be to our liking.
Cur vision is often defective. Short
sightedness is q common malady, but
the closer We get 70 things Or they
get TO us the clearer our view and the
less obscure our duty.
"The progress of a nation can alone
prevent degeneration. There must be
new life and purpose or there will be
weakness and decay There must be
broadening of thought as we'll as
broadening of trade
Territorial expansion is not alone
and always necessary to national adj
vancement There must be q constant
movement toward higher and nobler
civilization, civilization that shall
make it's conQuests without resort to
war and achieve it's greatest Victories
pursuing the arts of peace.
I'm our present situation duty-and
duty alone-should prescribe the bcun-
Diary of our possibilities and the
scope of our undertakings.
THE final determination OF our pur-
poses awaits the action of the emf
nent men who are charged by the eX-
ecutive with the making OF the treaty
Of peace. and that of the senate Of the
United States, which, by our consti-
tuition, must ratify and confirm it. We
all hope and pray that the c0nfrma-
ton of peace will be as just and hui
name as the conduct and consumma-
ton Of the war.
when the work of the treaty-mak-
ers is done the work OF the lawmakers
will begin. The one will settle the
extent of our responsibilities; the
other must provide the legislation to
meet them.

heavy work ahead of him. 1t w.s the
opportunity of the people 10 shake the
presidential hand and witness the pc
cularities of the Mckinley shake.
They were admitted freely to the
armOry, all who came were permitted
to get in line TO have their hands
shook. John Maynard Harlan and
Colonel Henry L. Turner managed the
crowd as it came upstairs in single
file 70 the balcony where the president
stood. Inspector Hartnett and 500
policemen put the crowd in order at
the stairs and saw that it went into
the presence of the chief executive in
an orderly manner On one side of the
president stood Major General John
c. Bates, the man who saved the army
from retreat from San Juan hills and
on the other stood George R. Peck
Colonel Turner stood in front of the
president wearing all his medals and
gold cords and tassels.
Thousands at Service OF Thanks.
Three great audiences Sunday even
ing participated in union thanksgiv-
ing services, which were held at the
Auditorium, Studebaker Hall, and the
First Methodist church, with President
Mckinley as a chief attraction at the
Auditorium. DR.. John Henry Bar
rows, DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, the Rev.
Father Thomas P. IIodnett, and Book
er 7. Washington spoke at each of the
meetings. There was otherwise a gen
eral similarity of program and the
same spirit of enthusiasm peryaded
each assemblage. Congress street was
almost damned with a surging mass

PRESIDENTS GRAVE WORDS.

Chicago, Oct. 20-Before a mighty
throng which filed the great b3.con-
les of the Auditorium, which choked
the aisles and crowded every foot Of
standing room in The temporary ban
quet hall, President Mckinley last
night gave some hint OF what his pol
icy is upon territorial expansion
No public utterance of the president
previous 10 that at Wednesday nights
banquet was fraught with SO much
meaning to the country. None gave
so clear a vision of the views Of the
executive OH the question of eXpan-
sion which has become para mount N
the discussions Of the nation.
I'VE cannot If we would ard we
would not if we could escape the obi
cations Of victory" said President Nc
Kinley.
That was the cue for the applause
for the banqueters and the thousand
or more spectators III the galleries
construed his words to suit their own
desires.
DUTY makes destiny" said the pres
| ident few moments later. and again
the applause was vOciferOus
The president spoke in part as fol-
lows:
With ne feeling of eyultation, but
with profo md thankfulness, We con-
template the events of the past five
months. They have been too serious
to admit Of Boosting or vainglorilica-
ton. They have been so full of re-

When Ruskin was at Rome there
was a beggar on the steps of the Pincio
who begged Of him every day as he
passed. and who always received some
thing. On one occasion the grateful
beggar suddenly caught the outstretch-
ed hand and kissed it. Mr.. Ruskin
stopped short, drew his hand hastily
away, and then, with a sudden impulse,
bending forward, kissed the beggar's
cheek The next day the man came
to Mir Ruskin's lodging TO find him,
bringing gift, which he offered with
tears in his eyes. 1t was a relic, he
said; shred of brown cloth, which
had once formed part of the robe of
st. Francis.

THE BIG PARADE.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-Victors II battles
by sea and land from jacky and high
private to major general and admiral.
and an army of the civic host, all led
by President Mckinley, commander
in-chief of the army and navy CT the
United States, passed in review before
the eyes of Chicago and the middle
west yesterday.
Nearly every city, town and hamlet
within 500 miles of Chicago. and many
at greater distances, furnished quota
that swelled the throng that came to-
gether in one accord to do homage to
the victors of the Spanish-American
war
Ten thousand marched or rode in
the parade. How many people looked
on nobody knows. Estimates OF the
countless number OF onloOkers made
by many OF the 1900 policemen in
charge of the multitude ran from $780,
600 to 100000. The railroads have
brought 100000 visitors to Chicago,
Yesterday the surface lines carried l.
1S4 600 passengers. Perhaps 100000 on
lockers is near the correct figure.

directly from the McWilliams resi-

Ends with Feast.
At the banquet-bOard in the green
room of the Auditorium Annex Mon
day evening President Mckinley for
got the rain and buster OF nasty
Chicago day. The luncheon had been
rendered the presidential party by the
general jubilee committee. The dis
tinguished visitors repaired to the
hotel Immediately on the conclusion
of the armory reception and Chairman
Charles Truax led the president to the
seat of honor at $50 O'Clock. No
speeches were made at the luncheon
beyond the informal presentation to
President Mckinley of jubilee medal
by Chairman Truax, Identical in de-
sign with those worn by the general
committee. At the conclusion of the
banquet the president was driven rap
idly to the McWilliams home, where
he retired early. He declared himself
right side up after the excitement OF
the day.
Public Greets President.
President Mckinley shook 1927
hands at the First regiment armory
Monday afternoon. The cold rain that
was driven in the strong gusty wind
was the only thing that deferred other
thousands from going to the public
reception to the president. Those who
went had TO wait longer than they ex-
pected for the president was late in
coming. He had gone to the Chicago
university to be made doctor of laws
and that took more time than the
committee counted for it, but the presl-
den finally came in a mud-splashe ed
carriage that was hauled up at the
back door at 40 o'clock. The re-
ception committee had been standing
in two long lines for a half hour when
he came. The people were cOrralled in
police lines on the big floor and the
president was given a free passage
way to the gallery, where he stood on
the edge of an improvised gangway
with his right hand poised for the

being first on the ground they would
have the best chance OF getting in
when the doors were opened. The
crowd was patient, having the firm
expectation of seeing the president as
he passed in even if it were unable
to break through the police Gordon.

Bryan and immortality.

The following tribute to the souls
immortality by VIM. ]. Bryan, is a
part Of a eulogy on the death of
friend. 1t is a gem and is fit to
adorn a scrap book.
IF the father deigns to touch
with Diyine power the cold and
pulseless heart of the buried acorn,
and make it burst forth from its
prison walls, will he leave neglected
the soul of man, who was made in
the image of the Creator? If he
stoopS to give the rosebush whose
withered blossoms float upon the
autumn breeze, the sweet assurance
of another spring-time, will He
withhold the words Of hope from
the souls of men when the frosts Of
winter comes. If matter, mute
and inanimate, though changed by
the sources of nature into multi
tudes of forms, can never die, will
the spirit of man suffer annihilation
after it has paid brief visit, like
royal guest, to this tenement of
clay?
Rather let US believe that He
who in his apparent prodiqality
wastes not the raindrop, the blade
OF grass, or the evenings sighiug
zephyr, but makes them to carry
out his eternal plans, has given i'm
mortality to the mortal and gather
ed to Himself the generous spirit cf.
our friend"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is caused by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of
the mucous lining of the eustdchian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumblirg sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirelY closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
DESTROYED forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
