These repicas of Columbus three
famous ships, the Santa Maria, Nina
and Pinta. are really very picturesque
and greatly enhance the interest and
attractiveness of the park. 1t is to be
hoped that the park commissioners
will repair them, leave them where
they are, and take more care of them
in future. Of NE interesting features
of the exposition which survived the
disastrous fire that followed the great
fair, those that remain in the park are
all too few. The Fine Arts building
used by the Field Columbian museum,
the German building used as refrac-
tory, the convent of La Rabda used
for some commercial purpose, the lit
tie japanese pagodas on the island
and the three caravels rotting in the
lagoon are about the only features
that remain; yet they are all pictur-
esque in spite of many signs of decay
and without them the park would re-
semble any other ordinary reserve of
lawns. shubbery and ponds. The Fer
ris wheel remains in Chicago. but it
stands inactive in a North side beer
garden. and is likely at any time to be
torn to pieces for the iron and steel
that is in it.

but. although it may be seen Mt the

WORKERS ARE PROSPEROUS.
Prosperity Is General and Business
Is Booming Throughout
the Country.

Statistics for April on commodity
prices in proportion to consumption
show that the cost of living during
that month was lower than in March
and lower than a year ago. This is
most gratifying. in view of the fact
that wages are higher than for many
years past and employment more plen-
tiful, says the Troy Times. Prosper
ity is general throughout the country,
and business is enjoying a boom that
has never been exceeded. In the west
the farm crops are so large that the
farmers are unable to obtain enough
help to harvest the yield of the soil.
The Kansas wheat crop will be the
largest in the history of that state and
it is estimated that 10000 extra farm
hands will be needed to gather the
crop and prepare ii for shipment.
Such condition is very encouraging
to labor. Instead of the man looking
for the job the job is looking for the
man. This of course means better
compensation. With good jobs, high
er wages and food products lower one
does not need to go far to seek the
reason for increased savings bank de-
posits and generally improved condi-
lions among the men and women who

only one class of individuals and that

ment known as calamity howlers."

Gil. His campaign two years ago,
as the ''silll stocking" democratic
candidate from the Twenty-tirst ward
was novel political feature for Chi

can't when he won. Although the re-
publicans this year put up strong
man in the person of Fletcher Dob
byns the impetus of Mr.. Palmer's
initial term and his renewed energy
carried him to victory and a second
term. While young Palmer has done
nothing brilliant in the council he is
regarded as very satisfactory ndi-
cation of progress in the journey
towards clean council and honest
politics.
Among the other members of the
council who are not politicians but
conscientious men and careful stu
dents of municipal affairs, and who
are for that reason really the back

ago. After examining into the merits and
qualities of number of them, she pur-
chased the one that the salesman assured
her would keep food the best. Some days
afterward the woman called and requested
them to take that refrigerator back, as it
would not keep anything better than the
kitchen safe of the cellar The salesman
mildly suggested that possibly she had not
put enough ice in it to keep the things cold.

SPRAYING CORPORATIONS.
The Senator "SpIuttered" I'm His
Speech and an Umbrella
Was Called For.

Senator Spooner told story the other
day, in which the late Senator Ingalls, and
Senator Van Wyck, of Nebraska, fig
red. Van Wyck was making one of his
CHARACTERISTIC speeches in attacking cor
porations. He had peculiar style of de-
livery, and as he warmed to his subject it
was his habit to move restlessly from one
side of the chamber to the other, contin-
ually talking He talked so fast that he
often "sputtered," and senators were care
full to keep out of range of the moisture he
Kissed through his closely-set teeth, says
the Washington Post.
Mr.. Ingalls, and Mr.. Spooner once sat
directly in front of Mr.. Punch" as Sen
ator Van Wyck was often called, because
of his resemblance to that noted character,
when he was delivering an imprisoned ut
terance, and an atom of spray rested upon
the hand of the immaculate ingalls,.
He adjusted his spectacles, carefully
inspected his soiled hand, and deliberate
iy signaled for one of the pages to come
to him. Then in one of his famous whis-
pers, which penetrated the entire chamber,
ingalls, said:
"Boy, bring an umbrella for Senator
Epooner and rubber overcoat for me"
The incident provoked general laugh
ter, but it did not interfere with Van
Wyck's speech. He simply shifted his
position so as to get beyond range Of
his always faultlessly dressed and sar-
castle colleague.
