CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-Disgusted and
disheartened over the seemingly un-
appreciative Chicago audiences, Will
liam I'll. Sherwood, the distinguished
pianist, has decided to withdraw from
the Chicago recital stage. Mr. Sher-
wood claims that the Chicago public
is devoting it's time and patronage en-
tirely to the .long- haired eccentrics"
fIom abroad, to the detriment Of all To-
cal artists. According to Mr. Sher-
wood, the appearance of foreigners in
the field has materially lowered the
salary scale of American artists, SO
much so that local musicians are in
many cases forced to appear for moth
ing or not at all.
These statements are contradicted bv
other Chicago artists, who say that the
partiality shown to the foreigners is
not emphatic enough to allow the mu-
slc-loving public to entirely ignore
their townsmen. Mr.. Sherwood,s man
ager has arranged a Western tour to
different cities which have requested
the appearance Of the Chicagoan and

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. S1-Sen-
ator Hanna is seriously i'll and his
friends are alarmed. The Ohio senator
is confined to his rooms at the Airing
ton with an attack of the grip, which is
resisting the utmost endeavors of his
physicians. He Is also suffering from
overeating. No callers are allowed to
see him, even his most intimate friends
being barred from the sick chamber.
The senator has been under con-
stant strain for the last four weeks on
account of his social and legislative
duties. A continual round of festivi-
ties has broken down his strong con-
stitution. His illness is similar to
that which killed Vice President Hobart
and also like that which has brought
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Long near to
death. Ambassador Pauncefote, Ex-
Speaker Reed and many other noted
men passed away victims Of continu-
Gus dining. Senator Hanna has been
dining out nearly every night since Jan.
1. He is a hearty eater and this fact
has rendered him peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to the ravages of the disease.

Climatic Change Hurts Men.
The Tenth Field battery arrived here
last fall from the Pacific coast. For
want of better accommodation they
were quartered in the old post at Fort
Smelling. These buildings are a long
row of low stone houses erected long
ago.
The buildings are hoary with age II
is said they are damp, saturated
through and through with the mist Of
time so that they cannot be properly
heated. There, however, is the fact
that within few weeks they have de-
veloped sixteen cases of a non-infec,.
tious, contagious disease in a
company of 120 men.
The change from the Philippine clf-
mate has something to do with the
sickness, but great complaint is made
as to the inadequacy Of the accomno-
dations the men are forced to make
use OF, both from sanitary stand
point and by reason of the fact that
the buildings are greatly overcrowded.
No blame attaches to the military
authorities Of the department for the
state of the quarters. They were the
only buildings available at the post and
it was a question of using them tenn
porarily or put the men under canvas.
