Heart Of Chicago.
Few more effective dramas have
been sent on the road In recent years
than Lincoln ]. Carter's Heart OF
Chicago" which comes to the Grand
this evening. The story told is a
powerful one of love and intrigue and
of greed of gold. 1t is constructed on
original lines and cannot be said to
approach the stereotyped form OF
melodrama at any time. Quite as
much interest is felt, however, in the
marvellous scenic aids as in the story
itself. In the first act section OF
the great Chicago fire is reproduced
with wonderful fidelity to detail and
thrilling offset. In order to render
the counterfeit as complete as posi-
BILE a hundred things are being done
at the same time. Hordes of excited
people flee from the burning district

terrific explosions, falling walls, fly

bred other matters of detail render
the stage illusion perfect. Not less
worthy of praise is the famous ap-
preaching engine scene, which is said
by many to be the best thing in the
play. -

RrErTA, ONO, November ID, 1860 wks Friday.

Death from prussic acid, you know, is
absolutely instantaneous and, many
believe, painless. There had not been
a suicide with this acid for more than
year, but within a week after the
article was published there were four
and one of the unfortunates had
clippings of my article in his pocket.
"Of curse I was accused of killing
these four by suggestion, but l was
never arrested and do not feel guilty
for when once person has decided to
kill himself the method is a slight
matter No person in his right mind
will commit suicide. We all know, in
our sane moments, of easy ways to end
life, but when in the suicidal frame of
mind nature seems to rob us of our
reason in this direction as if in des-
perate hope Of preventing the saori-
fice."

LONG TRIP WITH AUTOMOBILE.
Charles N. Wheeler Rides from New
York City to Peoria,
Illinois.

Charles n. Wheeler, formerly OF, Pc
oFia, ILL.,, returned from New York the
other evening by way of his automo-
bile. On account of the severe illness
of his wife Mr.. Wheeler abandoned the
automobile at El Paso, coming to Pc
oria by train.
He left New York city three weeks
ago and put in seven to eight hours n
day in travel, making from 80 to 40
miles a day on poor roads, and from
70 TO SIS miles a day when the roads
were good. He reports the roads of
New York, Ohio and Indiana to be first
class turnpikes, but the Illinois roads
the poorest of dirt thoroughfares.
Mr.. Wheeler's trip was uneventful.
The weather was remarkably good, but
two rainy days being experienced.
Riding over the country in an auto
mobile is better than an observation
car, and Mr. Wheeler is one of the first
Peorians to make such trip.

There is much gossip in society over

She has an extensive wardrobe of en-
tirely white. On the street she is clad
in white broadcloth tailor suits. In

of the same color. No matter what the
weather the countess is always in

been devoting much time to WON.
ems cooperative work, helping young
girls in every possible way.
Now that she has come to London
for the social season, she prefers the
society of young boys, and is often seen
out with youngsters in Eton jackets
or in their first long coats. She says
they please her more than the society
men, and wears white to please the
boys, who appear young with them.

AsToR AGAIN BEFORE PUBLIC.
owner of CIivcden increases His Un-
popularity bysAsISing 20 Close
LonH-Used Footpnth.

Waldorf Astor is rushing into fresh
unpopularity. He has formally made
application to the Bucks county mag
istrates for permission to close the
footpath over which the public from
time immemorial have had the right
OF way through a portion of the
grounds of his Cliveden estate to the
banks of the Thames. 1t is most
picturesque, direct and greatly used
path, and he offers in exchange an
other path which has nothing to rec
ommend it except that it excludes the
public from proximity to his house
and grounds.
All the surrounding districts are up
in arms, and an indignation meeting
is mooted to protest against this lat
est restriction of the pubnc right at
tempted by the exclusive owner OF
Cliveden.
1t is expected, however, that the
magistrates will not grant his de-
mand, but the mere preferring of it
has immensely increased his unpopu-
larity, especially as he had already
earned the dislike of the boating pub
lie by withdrawing the privilege Of
landing at certain parts of the Give
den woods, which the preceding own
ers. the dukes of Sutherland and
Westminster, had always accorded.

Mark Twain was the guest of the
Woman's Press club the other day and

he made them speech. He was talking
of the power of concentration and
praising Helen Keller's grace of Eng

asked an opinion | would call this an
grammatical nation. There is no
such thing as perfect grammar, and
dent always speak good grammar my
self. But l have. been foregathering
for the last few days with professors
of American universities and I've heard
them all say things like this: He

American, saying that. When these

Congress this winter will be called
upon for a big appropriation with
which to enlarge the white house. The
commission which has charge of the
plans for improving the historic man
sion has nearly completed it's work.
1t is believed that about So 900 600 will
be asked for. The plan that has been
agreed upon is substantially the same
as. was drawn at the suggestion of Mrs.
Harrison when she was mistress of
the white house. 1t contemplates a
long colonadedr addition at the east
and another at the west end of the
present building. The structural work
would be steel and marble. The east
wing will be devoted to the executive
force and contain provision for for
nal functions. The west wing will
contain a magnificent state dining
room capable of seating 100 guests.

FOR A PACIFIC CABLE
Lieut.. Hood Urges Government
Ownership and Control.
Declares That Such Advantages Ar,
an Absolute Necessity i'm Handling
Our Armies and Navy in Time
of International Conflict.

An earnest plea for government
cable across the Pacific ocean is made
by Lieut.. John Hood, of the navy, whe
which definitely established a satisfac
tory route, in an article published il
the current number of the proceedings
of the naval institute.
"1f we wish to secure ourselves agains'
all eventualities, and be fully equipped tt
take our part successfully in the struggl,
of races that the inevitable laws of evo'n
tion force us to enter. let us" says Lieut.
Hood, mot only fortify our ports, butt
fleets and equip armies, but let us by. al
means prepare the way TO render thess
fleets and armies efficient and capable OF
their utmost usefulness by supplying then
with the safe, sure and prompt Information
so necessary to any successful undertake
ing. The only way to attain this end with
certainty and success is for the govern
ment to lay and operate Its own cables, ant
to construct, equip and man its own CABLE
ships; and the beginning of this great worl
cannot be made too soon"
Lieut.. Hood calls attention to tn,
fact that surety and secrecy can only
be attained by cable owned, con
trolled and worked by the government
itself, by its own agents.
Admiral Cervera's book" he says
"shows how utterly impossible 1t is in time
of war to preserve secrecy with privat,
cables. In spite of all the efforts of this
government to isolate Cuba and suppress
all dispatches regarding the movements OF
our ships, we are astonished to find how
mnutely Gen. Blanco and Admiral Cervera
were informed of the movements of oaI
ships and squadrons, even on our owr
coasts.
From a military point of view the ques.
tiCn of the nationality of the operators Is
most important No foreigner or alien oi
airy description should be allowed to have
Gny connection with the line in any capac.
ity whatever. Its direction and operation
should be American, pure and simple, OF
betrayal of trust will surely follow.
"One other. great military advantage of
a national oter private cable is the pos
session by the government of properly
equipped and manned cable ships. In the
conflicts of the future the cable and cable
ship are destined to play a part hardly
secondary to that of the army and navy
1t may be taken as an axiom in future
wars between nations with outlying pos.
sessions that a cable war will go on side
by side with the military operations, and
that nation which has failed to provide
itself with cables and cable laying and
cutting appliances will be worsted"
