A Much Priced Souvenir

County Attorney A. NJ. Sinnott
a few days ago received a copy Of
Crank Leslie's Boys and Girls
v eekly," the leading Juvenile
newspaper Of the country, dated
June 4, 1870, which he brought to
the Bulletin office. This particu-
lar copy OF that paper has quite a
history. In May, 1870, there was
a competitive examination in the
public schools of Staten Island, n.
Y, Judge Sinnott's native place,
and now known as Richmond Bor-
ough, New York City, for scholar
ships in five colleges in the city
and vicinity, and he captured one
OF these scholarships. In the issue
Of the "Boys' and Girls Weekly"
OF June 4, following examination,
appeared his portrait and biography
as one of the distinguished scholars.
A new school edifice being built
upon a larger and more improved
scale to replace the one he attended,
copy Of the paper, with other
archives of the old school, was i'm
bedded, in sealed box, in the
cornerstone.
A few months ago, this building
having been torn down to be re-
placed by one more magnificent,
the paper was taken out and given
to Judge Sinnott's mother and by
her forwarded to him.
We copy the following biograph-
zeal notice accompanying the por-
trait

flowing Aliens.

Tho Rathdrum Silver Blade says
On last Tuesday the railroad compa.
mics removed most OF the aliens EN-
qloyed on their lines in this county.
The Japanese employed on the North
ern Pacific as section hands were
transferred to the Washington Cen
trail. This action of the railroads is
due TO the vigorous stand taken by
the officials Of this county to compel
the railroad companies to con. ply with
the provisions Of the anti-alien laws of
this State. On June ., at the instiga-
ton OF County Attorney Goode,
Sheriff Bradbury sent official notiiica-
ton TO the officials OF all railroads
traversing the county, informing them
OF their infringement OF the anti-alien
law, and notifying them that unless
their companies discharged their en-
employees forthwith, whose employ
ment is forbidden by law, arrests and
prosecution would follow. The Off
eials at once took up the matter with
the county attorney, and after
much correspondence agreed TO re-
move all aliens employed by them if
sufficient time was given them to fill
their places with non aliens. August
LIST was the date set for the transfer,
aud the Northern Pacific very pru-
IDENTIFY compl ed with their part of the
agreement. 1t is stated on good au.
thority that the o Il. d n. and Great
Northern have done likewise.

PRICE OF CHICAGO BRiCk IN AND
OUT OF THE CHY.

One of the most startling exposures of
the conspiracy of material men to mon.
opolize and increase the cost of build
ing material in Chicago was given in
Yesterdays Times Herald. 1t was re-
lated by Il relative of man in Elgln
who had occasion to get u price on chi
cago brick for delivery at that point.
lie was given a price list of rcd and
brown brick for ordinary city delivery.
1t read as follows:
For dark. red brick. per 1000, dcliv--
cred ........,........ Sc
For medium red. per 1000. delivered Is
For light red, per 1000, delivered. 10
For red. sand mold, per 1000. deliv-
| cred .................. IL
For brown sand mold. per 1000. de-
| 1vcrcd ............'..... i'
Now behold how this Chicago price
list" was marked down for Elgin ue'
livery:
For dark. rcd brick per 1,Wo.
| freight paid .............'.''. '|''
For medium red. per 1000. freight

For ligh, red. per 1000. freight paid ~
For red. sand mold, per 1000. freight
| paid ........... ..'..'' -
For brown. sand mold, per loOo,
| freight paid .......'.'.''' :
It will he perceived that the Eigih
builder was favored by Il cut OF from
f. TO ~ per cent. irrespective OF the
freight amounting to 50 or 50. as the
case might be.
but the Chicago brickmakcr was only
able to maintain his price to the Chi
cago builder by n conspiracy with the
bricklayers not to lay brick made out
side of Chicago.
It Is evident that before there can hs
a revival in building operations In Chi.
cago there must be a new declaration OF
independence on the part OF builders
contractors and architects that they
will not submit to any dictation MS To

COL. GEO. r. DAVIS

The career of varied activity now
Terminated by the death of Col. George
Il. Davis will be lastingly identified
when 1t was undertaking one of its
greatest enterprises. In the civil war.
later in politics and again IN business
Col. Davis showed himself man Of
great energy and resources. The plans
for the Worlds Fair, when Chicago
first secured the privilege of holding
that exposition, were necessarily I'M
formed. Setting aside the difficulties
In the way of selecting u site, design
ing plans and determining the general
outer characteristics of the exposition,
there still remained the immense task
Of organizing and administering a
working force, establishing depart.
ments, securing competent executives
and putting under way the whole ma.
chinery Of falr-building.
As director general Col. Davis, when
called to that position, justified the
confidence of the directors who selected
him. With remarkably few mistakes
and with but little friction, considering
the compleXlty Of the task, the plans of
organization began to take shape. Work
was begun with great energy and along
sure lines Of progress, the labor which
was TO transform an empty park into a
city Of beautiful buildings being skill
fully guided. Later, after the opening
Of the fair, Mr.. Davis again displayed
his ability in maintaining the daily
operation of its complex administrative
system.
The Worlds Fair director general
ship was an appointment that any man
might have felt 1t compliment TO re
ceivc, and the skillful discharge of It,

Shore Acres---Sa Saturday Matinee and
Night.

The greatest of the American home
plays is 'iShore Acres which James A.
Herne FIRST produced in Chicago in 1892.
The scenes of this charming comedy
drama are all taken from life and the in
c;dents portrayed are the honlely hap
penings of the people of a small fishing
village ON the coast of Maine. Mr.. Herne
has not sought to clothe the dramat.s
Dersonae in silks or satins. but he has
aimed to present their individual char
acteTistics i'm a simple and truthful way
that cannot fail to move the hearts of
all those who love and admire all that
which is beautiful in nature. Mr..
Herne's hero in .sShore Acres has a
most homely exterior yet his trying to
live up to that greatest of all epigrams:
do unto others as you would have 9TH
ers do unto you, Clothes him with a
dignity and nobility that cannot fail TO
make a deep and lasting impression.
There is so much to praise and admire IN
this play that one wants to see 1T again
and again, and ut is to be hoped that
Shore Acres will long continue to grace
the Eng ish-speaking stage. Arrange
ments have been made to present this
charming romance at the Academy of
Music next Saturday afternoon and
night. Reserve seats will be on sale
Thursday. Matinee -rices will be 80
cents and % cents. Night prices $1.UJ,
70, 80 anu % cents.
