Chicago is an opportunist and hustler
She believes at arriving at conclusion by
the shortest possible route Some means
to ends which are employed by her might
not pass muster in such sleepy, conserva-
tive old towns as Philadelphia and Boston
but Chicago cares nothing for that. Shs
delights in showing the effete East new
tricks. Nor does she hesitate to enter
even the field of religion with her ideas or
breezy progressiveness, however near to
iconoclasm or sacriligiousness they may
approach, in the opinion of others. She
is now indeed booming goats-real. live

The Holiness Tabernacle. on South West

tan Church, of which Rev. D. M. Farsoa
Is pastor The Tabernacle has the amb'-
ton to organize the biggest Sunday School

Side boys in the matter the officials CT the
Tabernacle have formulated a grand gift
enterprise offering prizes for the bringing

sued offers for one new scholar a picture,
for two scholars a book of 315 pages and so
on up to the grand prizes. There are two

for bringing twenty-five scholars. a BIZ

A story of John l.. Sullivan.

Frederick Chase of Cleveland, O.. who
is great admirer of John L. Sullivan's
prowess in the roped arena. told the fol-
lowing story of the former champion, &C.
cording to the New York Tribune.
ST happened in the days when Sullivan
said Mr.. Chase, was the world cham
pion, and the most feared man in the ring.
Sully' was touring the country with IN
offer of $3.50 to any man, bar none, who
would stay in the ring with him for four
rounds. Many essayed that dangerous
feat, and the same number failed. Fina ly
the aggregation reached one of the larg st
of our Western cities, in which the lead
ing paper was owned by a man who was
an all around sport and who took an es-
pecial interest in matter appert aiming TO
the squared circle. The editor had

but upon broaching the subjest to his man
the latter promptly interposed countless
objections, manifestly inspired by fear
The editor, however, Knew John well. so
he sought him out and after telling him
of HIS pug and what he wanted. said
Now, John, let him stay until the last
part of the third or the first part of the
fourth round. You can put him out when
ever you want to, but If you let him last
bit it won't hurt you any and 1t will help
him a lot
1.-THE great man pondered for a mo-

A Presbxterinn Parrot.

New York parrets-which are highly So
phisticated birds-have recently been ac-
lively interesting themselves in matters
OF great public import, says the New
York Tribune. There was that sceptical
pet Of Frederick d. Tappen, who seemed
to hold that ancient tenet that "all men
are liars" Here is the story of a Presby
terian parrot OF extreme radical tenden-
cies and an insistent fearlessness in ex-
pressing its views. DIR. G. w. #. Birch,
who brought charges of hertsy against
DR.. A. c. McGiffert, is its master.
When a Tribune reporter called on the
clergyman on Monday to ask what would
be done with DIR. Parkhurst for saying
from his pulpit that The creed was no
longer any help, but a burden, to Presby-
terianism, the stated clerks bird was
even more agitated about the matter than
the doctor.
1t was loudly insisting upon something,
which, as the lecturers say, 1t could not
put too strongly, for it repeated il over
and over again. The visitor, however,
was so interested in the fate of the fam
Gus clergyman that he forgave the par
rot its din, and started to ask questions.
After while the stated clerk, who was
trying to answer the questions and to
write a conciliatory letter to DR.. Park
Did you hear what that parrot was
saying?"
The reporter up to this time had never
obtained an interview from anything out
side the human family, and-more to the
point-as he did not yet know what was
in store for DR.. Parkhurst, he hadn't ex-
pected any information to emerge from
behind bars and beneath feathers. Not
very much pleased, he took out his note
book to take down the parrots contribu-
ton.
II was:
Fire m out! Fire m out! Fire IN
outr
And then. for fear it's master wouldn't
listen, il Impressed the necessity of this
extreme action upon DIR. Birch by cease
less repetition in a cultural severity that
commanded attention, Fire m out! Fire
'n--'
Then the stated clerk dropped his pen,
forgot the questions that the public want
ed answered in the next days newspapers,
and FASTENED to assure the reporter that
the bird had not learned that expression
left with DIR. Birch, and it was only un-
expectedly that it had remained.
"I" said the doctor, with a stress on
the pronoun 81 have taught 1t the dox-
ology."
But as long as DIR. Parkhurst's case
was being considered the parrot strayed
far from the peaceful theological paths to
advise with increasing sSrenuousnegs:
Fire IN out! Fire m out!'
But, as the world knows, DR. Birch took
another course, leaving his more radical
counsellor to plead unheeded. Fire m
OUT Fire m outr Which the disappoint-
ed conservative is still lamentngly reit-
Grating.

HE DID NOT SAY 1T.

There was a good deal of rejoicing
among Democrats OF the East, particu-
larry Of New York, the other day when 1t
was reported from Wichita, Kan, where
MIR. Bryan had just made a speech, that
he had said there, In an interview. that
while he would not abandon the 16 to l
issue, he regarded trusts and Imperialism
paramount issues.
Democratic leaders in New York said
that IL Mr.. Bryan made that statement he
would not only be nominated but elected
that he could count on carrying that
state. They have been trying for a long
time to get him to make some such state
ment. They do not care particularly II
he insists upon the Endorsement of the
Chicago platform. They are willing that
that platform shall be indorsed They
simply want Mr.. Bryan to say that he
does not regard the silver issue as the
leading one. With a statement Of that
kind from him the Democracy of New
York and in fact of the entire Eastern
section of the country, would be united.
With united party the Democrats would
be able TO carry New York. They might
carry one or more other Eastern states.
In fact, the Democrats of New York are
very hopeful of carrying that state
under any circumstances. 1t Is no.
ticeable that there is much
more confident feeling among them
than there has been for long time. This
confidence is based upon the belief that
the Gold Democrats will generally vote
the Democratic ticket, even though the
Democratic National platform contains
a strong declaration in favor of free sii-
Yer coinage, because of the belief that the
gold standard could not be interfered with
during the time for which Mr. Bryan
would be President, If he should he
elected.
1t seems that Mr.. Bryan did not make
any such statement at Wichita as was
reported. In a dispatch over his own
signature, published in the New York pa d.
pers on Thursday, he said: 81 have never
said that other questions were more i'm
portant than the money question. I have
said many times, and now repeat, that at
present three questions, viz: Money,
trusts and imperialism are dividing pub
nc httenlDn Men unter as to tnelf rela-
tive value, but 1 have never attempted
to fix their relative Importance"
1t is clear from this that Mr. Bryan is
not going to forsake silver for thet chance
of carrying New York. In fact, If he
should for an instant admit that he had
weakened In the least on that question,
he would not be nominated at Kansas
City. Nobody knows that better than he
does. Therefore it is useless to urge
him to make any greater concessions re-
garding silver than he has made already.
And 1t would not make much difference
If he did make greater concessions rela-
tive to silver. 1t is known what his
views on the silver question are, and If he
ID the presidential candidate of his party.
it will be impossible to keep the silver
question in the background, provided It
has any place whatever in the platform.
The only way to keep the silver issue out
of the campaign is 10 keep it out of the
| platform.

CLARk,s CASE.

1t seems to be the understanding that
the case of Senator Clark will be voted on
early next week. Immediately after the
report of the committee having the case
In charge was made, 1t was said that the
Senator would not wait for the adop-
ton of the report but would resign at
once. He has not yet sent in his resiena-
tion, and the fact that he has not has
given rise TO several rumors One is that
he has been advised not 10 resign. because
there was still a chance for him to re-
tain his seat. The chance is found in the
proposition to get an amendment, to the
resolution reported by the committee. pro-
viding for his expulsion 1t would REQUIRE
only majority vote to adopt such an
amendment, but a two-thirds vote to ex-
pei him. Therefore the Senate, having
put itself on record in favor OF his ex-
pulslon, might be satisfied to let the mat
ter rest there. and the Senator might re-
tain his seat, but II 1t should not, It
might be difficult matter to get a two
thirds majority on the resolution to expcl
him.
1t is not probable that Senator Clark is
party to either OF thase plans for keeping
him In the Senate. He could not remain
in the Senate under the finding OF the
committee without a loss of self respect
There would therefore be no satisfaction
to him to remain there under existing con-
ditions.
II is said that he will resign as soon
as there is sufncient debate on his case
to show that, in the opinion of senator's,
there was no evidence that ne was con-
cerned directly in brihing members of the
Legislature OF Montana. 1t seems that he
intends to seek a reelection. and he
wants the impression to prevail In his
state that while money was spent in his
behalf when he was elected senator. none
was paid out by him directly for votes, or
with his knowledge
1t may be that he will be able to re-
turn to the Senate with credentials that
will stand the assaults of his old enemy
Marcus Daily. 1t is the very general belief
that money will buy about everything in
this world, but Senator Clark's money
has thus far failed to get him a perma-
nent seat in the United States Senate.
