Close of Quarter to BE Marked by .
DecenniaI Celebration.
The close of this quarters work at
the University of Chicago will be
marked by a series of elaborate cere-
monies in celebration of the decennial
anniversary of the founding of the uni
versity, says the Chicago News. These
ceremonies will do more than merely
mark the university's tenth year; they
will in fact be a second birth for the in
stitution, for in their progress the cor
ner-stones of not less than seven new
buildings will be laid. thus beginning
new period of growth which will round
out the heretofore incomplete equip
ment of the university and surround
its campus with buildings surprising
those of any other American universe
ty. The new buildings will be gym
nasium. students clubhouse, splen-
did structure which will have but two
rivals-the clubhouses at Harvard and
Pennsylvania-the commons, where
the university will oversee the diet of
its great student body: Mandel hall. a
large assembly room; Hitchcock hall. a
woman's dormitory: the press and the
heat and light buildings. The per-
Torrance of las You Like It. by the
students will be one of the features of
the gala time. The cast has practically
been chosen and many of the details
regarding staging have been decided
upon. The play will be given at night,
in small hollow on the campus, oppo-
site Cob hall. Seats for the spectators
will be arranged along the sloping
sides of the hollow, and the entire
scene will be Illuminated by electric
lights. Athletic games. baseball, the
settling of interfraternity champion
ships. the junior prom" at the Chica-
go Beach hotel. a performance by the
Dramatic club and the planting of the
ivy will be some of the events on the
program which the undergraduates will
arrange. The laying of the corner
stones will be attended by several dis
tinguished guests. Cassini and Cam
bon, the Russian and French ambasSa-
doris, are expected, and there are ru-
mors that the founder of the institu-
tion-John d. Rockefeller himself-will
be present.

BUTTERFLIES FOR PARKS.
Fitting Insects to Add Brillisncy to
City Enclosures.

City Enclosures.
The parks committee of the London
county council is considering an inter
esting proposal-namely, the introduce
ton of butterflies into the Enclosure
under its jurisdiction. The suggestion,
which it seems probable will be carried
out, was made by Mr.. c. J. Longman of
Paternoster row. His plan of action
seems quite workable and he has wise
" chosel three butterflies to begin
with whose requirements are not very
great. which are very prolific and
which are among the most handsome
of our more common species. The in
sects in question are the red admiral,
with it's velvety black wings, bordered
with red and white; the peacock"
with it's famous eyes" and the pretty
little "tortoiseshell" The food plant
upon which the caterpillars live is the
same in all cases, being the singing
nettle. says the London Mail. Those
familiar with the insect life of country
lanes know well the clusters of hairy
looking larvae. All that will be
required at first will be plantations of
nettles, inclosed for protection sake,
upon which host of eggs of young
grubs will be placed. The caterpillars
are of the hairy kind, unpalatable to
many birds. but it would be wise if pre-
cautions were adopted to prevent the
ubiquitous sparrow from acquiring
taste for them, as he has done for
many of the plants cultivated in the
parks 1t may be objected that many
of the butterflies will make use of their
wings and betake themselves to the
country Possibly a number will. but
it will be easy in all probability to
raise them in great quantities. When
they from time to time emerge from
their chrysalides they are bound to fly
about the parks for some time and take
advantage of any honey-producing
flowers that they may meet upon their
way out

Topeka, May John Player. super
intendent of motive power and ma
chinery for the Santa Fe, was absent
in California for an extended period,
mostly on account of poor health. He
was for many years the general in
command of all departments of the
Topeka shops of that company. For
several days before Mr.. Players return
there was feverish unrest in the shops
When his train was known to be ap-
preaching the city the big whistle was
blown and pulleys were cast off, ma
chimes stopped and tools dropped. and
there was rush for the depot. When
the train stopped Mr.. Player received
very demonstrative reception from
the more than a Thousand men who
were old shopmen under him, some of
them for many yeaas. The scene was a
spontaneous tribute to just but kind
ruler of his men.

THROUGH THE COTTON BELT.
First Glimpse Of Cow Boys And
Long Horned Cattle.
AT HOUSTON AND AUSTIN.

Austin, Tex, May 6-After leaving
New Orleans the waving ricefields of
Western Louisiana were passed during
the night and the new oil fields of
Texas whirled by, and in the morning
the presidential party was flying over
the dead level plains of Texas to Hous-
ton and to Austin. The governor and
party of State officials met the party
at Houston where occurred a pleasant
incident which the president referred
to in his speech in Austin as lone of
the pleasantest incidents of my long
journey. Given into my hands by the
widow of the last president of the
republic of Texas was the flag of the
republic. 1t seems appropriate that it
should have been given in the city
bearing the name of the soldier, states
man and hero. General Sam Houston,
the first president of the republic"
During the day the president had his
first glimpse of the long horned Texas
cattle and picturesque cowboys on
range horses. The presidents recep-
ton in the Lone Star state was con-
tinuation of the ovation he has re-
ceived throughout the south. Every
honor was shown him and his party,
and there was much enthusiasm
There were some interesting features
at the reception at Austin and pic
turesque scene at Prairie View, where
the president addressed the colored
students of the state normal on a
stand erected on the open prairie at
the side of the track. He said:
Il thank you for your hearty well
come. l have visited a number of the
institutions of learning provided for
your race, and it has given me great
satisfaction to observe the advance
ment of your race since the immortal
proclamation of liberty was made
The opportunity of learning is great
privilege, and L have been glad TO note
that your race is endeavoring wher-
ever you live to enlighten your minds
and prepare yourselves for the respon-
sibilities of citizenship under this free
government of ours.

we be black, what we want is to know

"Ah!" she said softly. She moved .
little until she was free from his arm.
"You-you are quite sure"
That was Just where Raymon's bad
quarter of an hour began.
"Sure-indeed, yes. have not spok-
en- hastily. 1 have given the matter
weighty one as you will admit-due
consideration" He adjusted his
monocle. He wished the coachman
would drive more slowly. Il recollect
of what l owe to my family, to my

YES" sighed a tender voice, oh
yes!"

you are the only woman shall marry

He could feel again the tremor Of
the slender shape near. He put out
a fat little hand. His touch was not
tentative by any means. 1t was de-
termined. There was no false mod
esty about Raymon. In the gloom Of
the carriage he almost forgot the
charm, the beauty, the power Of the
girl. All these were engulfed in his
own superb condescension-a con-
descenion of which she was aware!
Her choking voice when she spoke
proved that.
And 1 have decided it is you-you
whom 1 have chosen for-my wife!"
You have" How overwhelmed
she was!-"not spoken rashly?"

never change my mind. When shall

The carriage door swung back. Ray

steps.

sweetly. Il have an engagement. And

grateful for the honor of course, but

Thank you-ever so much! Take carei
A frost has fallen! The steps are quite
slippery. I've had most enjoyable
evening. goodnight"
Then, her cheeks scarlet, her lips
apart. and breathing hard she was in
the library-was facing a man who
had risen from his low chair in the
light of the dying fire.
"Well?" he questioned hoarsely. He
came slowly towards her. We'll? He
proposed tonight. l knew he would.
Get it over. for Gods sake! When is
it to be? When are you to give your
self-your sweet self-to any mans
arms?"
She went straight towards him. Her
color had suddenly gone. She was
white as the roses she carried. And
her cheeks were wet and shining in
the fireshine.
Whenever you will take mel" she
said.

Omaha, Neb., May Am agent of

to Edward A. Cudahy to return SCI, 900
of the money paid for his sons ransom,
demanding in return withdrawal of
the S25,O00 reward and a cessation

together with an abandonment of the
determination to punish the criminals.
Mr.. Cudahy said: so far as the
offer is concerned it has been rejected.

to consider it and am determined to
prosecute this search as vigorously as

out to do and feel as if l would do

an object to any man, no matter what
may be his means. AS feel about the

A DOCTOR THIS TIME.

Portland. May 6th.-Dr. E. A. Rose;
. practising physician. formerly OF
Yates Center. Kans., was on what
everyone supposed was his death
bed. He had Diabetes. and six OF
his brother doctors were in attend
ance and consultation at his bedside
They had done everything that medi-
cal skill could suggest to save his life,
but they were at last reluctantly forced
to tell him that he must prepare for
death.
His aunt had been summoned to his
dying bedside. After the doctors had
given her nephew up. she insisted that
as last resort. he be given a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
From the very first dose, the tide
turned in his favor. His life was
saved, and he is hale and hearty to-
day.
This case and its cure has amazed
the physicians, and is the sensation of
the hour. 1t is interesting to note
that while many others are being
cured this great discovery in medi-
cine. the physicians themselves are
among the first to benefit, and that
while the simpler and more prevalent
forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica,
Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Fe-
male Weakness disappear before it,
the more malignant forms, such as
Bright's Disease. Diabetes and Dropsy.
which have always been regarded as
incurable, are yielding just as easily,
Dodd's Kidney Pills are fast super
ceding all other treatment for Kidney
Disease, and as nearly all human sick
ness and suffering has it's origin in the
Kidneys, the use of this wonderful
medicine is becoming almost universal.

Great Fire In Florida.

Atlanta, May 6.-Almost the entire
business portion of jacksonville. Flor
ida, is destroyed by fire. Aid was
hurried from cities within reach. The
most reliable reports say that twenty
blocks are wiped out. There was a
heavy gale blowing. Besides this loss
of business property the fire took a
clean sweep one-half mile wide by two
and half miles long through the city.
Fifteen million dollars loss of property
and 10000 people homeless is the
result. The fire started in a fibre
factory, wooden shell. The fire was
started by a bit of wire getting into a
