Impetus to Building Operations.

The extending of Burt Place to the
west and the opening up of Williams
Orchard have given an important impetus
to building operations in that section of
the village during the past few weeks
At the rear corner of what was formerly
known as the Old Terrace |. b. Newman
and Contractor +. |. Kilburn have each
bought a number of desirable lots, and
this week Mr.. Newman has the founda-
ton already in for a two-tenement house
Mr.. Kilburn has been carting the lumber
from the old corporation building to his
lots there and will build a number of
houses in the near future, using all the
available material from the old struc-
ture. +. G.. Flint has recently cleared
out the underbrush and small trees from
the three acre lot which he recently
bought on the terrace just south of the
Burt Place extension, and it is under
stood ne will put in the foundation for
an elegant residence late this fall and
finish it during the winter His place is
a part of the Williams lots. Citizens who
take the trouble to stroll into that locality
opened up by the extending of Burt Place
are surprised al the beauty and desira-
bility of that whole territory, as well as
the fact that there are so many excellent
building lots still available so near the
centre of the village. 1t has been often
stated that there were no more available
first class lots to be had in the limits of
the village, but this proves untrue. That
locality will in IA few years be one of the
prettiest in the whole village.

ly. In September, 1854, Mr. and Mrs.
Hills united with the Congregational
church in this place. Mr. Hills had been
nearly an invalid some years, but four
weeks ago he developed more serious
trouble with the heart. This, with other
infrmities, caused him great suffering,
which he bore with patience and forti-
tude, until the end came. when his spirit
was released and took its flight into the
great beyond. With the exception of an
hour or two OF distress in the early after
noon his last day was a pleasant one
with his children and with few short
calls from relatives, he being perfectly
conscious to the last moment.
Mr.. Hills will be greatly missed from
our village, especially by those who have
been accustomed to see him in his daily
walks, when the weather would admit,

iliarly called Grandpa " Hills by all
the children, for whom he always had a
pleasant greeting, and who We'd WITH

HOTELS CRIPPLED
WALTERS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES
GO ON A STRIKE IN
CHICAGO.
TWENTY-FIVE HOUSES AFFECTED
PRoPRlEToRs SAY THEY WILL
KEEP OPEN FOR BUSINESS
AT ANY COST.
STRIKE Will Be HARD FOUGHT
OFFER TO SUBMIT TO AReITRA.
TON is REJECTED BY THE
MEN.

Chicago, June 1.-THE strike in the
hotels OF Chicago impending for the
past three weeks, materialized yester-
day, and twenty-five of the leading
hotels of Chicago are badly crippled
in all department. All of the hotels are
running, however, and the propriatoTs
declare that the establishments will
remain open for business at any cost.
There is every indication that The
strike will be hard fought before one
side or the other gives in. The hotel
proprietors declare that the demands
made by the men are unreasonable,
and the unions claim to have not been
fairly treated by the proprietors, in
that the proprietors agreed to treat as
individuals with the unions, and have
not done so
The proprietors have agreed to sub
NIT nearly every point at issue to ar
bitration, but to this the unions will
not consent. They
Insist That Their Demands
for higher wages and shorter hours be
granted before they will arbitrate any,
thing, and insist also upon the abso-
lutte recognition of the union. To this
latter demand the proprietors say they
will never agree so long as the strikers
maintain their present attitude. The
proprietors have expressed a willing
ness to arbitrate this proposition also,
but the men will not recede from the
position assumed. The unions also
demand that the members of the hotel
keepers association come 10 the Off
GERS of the employees organization as
individuals and not as members of any
association.
The strikers made efforts yesterday
to divert supplies from the hotels, but
were not successful to any consider
able extent. Last night pickets sur
rounded every hotel in which strike
has been declared, and details of police
patrolled the sidewalks around the
buildings. So far there has not been
the slightest evidence of disorder.

ANIMAL PARASITES.
Every Living Creature Has Something
That Preys Upon 1t.

Every Living Creature Has Something
That Preys Upon 1t.
All animals, both large and small,
suffer as severely as animals in the
matter of parasites. The parasite of
the ostrich is a formidable-looking ex-
ample The most interesting of the
pigeons parasites is the one known as
the slender pigeon louise, which is sup
posed to do good service to the bird
by thinning its plumage as the weather
grows hot. Fish also have parasites.
The legs of one variety which inhabits
the, carp and pike are attached to the
posterior part of its anatomy. and con-
stitute paddles by means of which the
organism can change its host and de-
part to pay its attentions to another
fish. Two dark spots in the fore part
of the creature represents the first pair
of legs, which have been converted
into suckers, by means of which the
organism retains hold OF its host.
There is good reason to believe that
this pike louise" is not parasitic tor
ment, but rather a desired attendant.
In all probability it derives its nour-
ishment from the mucous products Sc
creted by the skin of the fish. And
when it is satisfactorily arranged the
toilet of one fish it abandons it for al
other which needs its help.-Leslie's
