EAST CLINGS TO

Stampede to Former President Is

Sreoial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, June 11.-Walter Wellman
in a New York special to the Record
Herald says:
That a great effort is to be made to
stampede the st. Louis convention into
the nomination Of former President
Cleveland is the understanding of most
Nearly every important man one
meets in this city, whether he be
prominent in politics or in corpora
lions or banking, and therefore more
or less in touch with politicians and
politics, expresses an opinion Of which
| the following is fair sample:
II think Judge Parker will be the
nominee Of the st. Louis convention,
provided the plan to bring Grover
| Cleveland forward and rush him thru
| does not win
| The widespread opinion that Mr..
| Cleveland's nomination Is a possibil-
ity, and many think it probability,
Is actually one Of the noteworthy fea-
| lures of political discussion In the east.
I have heard so much of it that I
| tried to learn where and with whom
| the movement to name Mr.. Cleveland
! was to start and who was to put his
I shoulder to the wheel of the cart and
push it along.
Here appears another peculiar fea-

one hears on all sides. No one is able
to answer that question. No one
knows who is going to start the ball
rolling. No one knows where the votes
are coming from to nominate the for
mer president. No one in control Of
votes appears to have the Cleveland
boom in charge, and yet everyone, OF
nearly everyone, is looking with con.
fidence to see such an effort made ir
the convention, somehow, by some
body.
Some of these men with whom
have talked think Cleveland's nomin
alton Is a possibility. Others go a lit
tie farther and express the opinion
that it Is probability. This is par
ticularly true among bankers an(
financial people with whom obviousl,
the wish Is father to the thought.
Politicians and men who know tn
political game do not know how tn
Cleveland business can be made t,

ticability Of giving the effort to nom

4 DIE IN CHICAGO
SEWER EXPLOSION
City Engineers Life the Price Of
Meeting Gas With Gasolene
Torch.

Chicago. June 11.-By an explosion
to-day in huge sewer being construct
ed along Thirty-ninth street, four men
were killed, manholes were blown up
for many blocks, the street is badly
torn, and a frame building demolished.
An accumulation of sewer gas appar-
emily caused the explosion.
Three workmen, accompanied by
City Engineer Guy Miltimore, who
carried a gasolene torch, were going
down into the sewer when they en-
countered sewer gas and the explosion
followed. ALI four men were killed
and their bodies were entombed.
In addition to sewer gas 1t Is
thought possible that petroleum had
leaked into the sewer, as for fifteen
minutes after the explosion fire burned
fiercely. 1t was two hours before a
serious attempt could be made to res
cue the bodies.

Denver & Rio Grande Train Rob.

Drowning to Escape.

Glenwood Springs, Col, June Ii
Sheriff Adams has returned here and
reported that the Denver & Rio
Grande train robbers are surrounded
in a patch of brush at the east side
Of the junction Of Divide Creek and
the Grand river.
A posse Of 100 deputies is picketed
at the place and he expressed the be-
lief that it was impossible for the men
to escape except by swimming the
Grand river.
An attempt to do that, he said,
seemed almost certain death as the
river at that point is nearly half a
mile wide and has a tremendous cur
rent.
The hunted men have not been able
to obtain food anywhere during the
past thirty-six hours and must be al
most at the point Of starvation.

ARTIFICIAL stone walks.

The commission desires to lay arti-
fetal stone walks dlagonally through
Forsyth Park, one from Drayton and
CASTOR streets to Whitaker and Hall
and the other from Whitaker and
CASTOR to Drayton and Hall streets.
In Thomas Park 1t is. also desired TO
lay artificial stone walks diagonally
through the park and around to the
circle in the center. The design that
has been made for this work will, If
carried out, make the park most at
tractive.
Artificial stone walks in Emmett Park
are also to be laid, If the appropria-
ton Is secured For the general inn
provement Of this park, including the
walks, $4,000 is asked. The drainage
in Laurel Grove Cemetery is said to
be very necessary.
Though most of the aldermen would
probably like to gee all of the work
done, It is a certainty that the appro-
priation asked for will not be made.
If there is any increase at all in the
appropriation it will be small. All the
regular department appropriations are
to be made as low as possible for next
year, that the necessary payments
may be made on the City Hall. There
may be a few increases, but only a
few.

GLASS COVERED BUREAUS.

1t is a fad among fashionable folk
this winter to cover their long Dress
ing tables with thick white glass with
a beveled edge. These are used on
all kinds of wood and also with the
cloth draped bureaus. The crystal is
about a quarter of an inch thick and
is cut to measure. 1t is placed over
a colored cover of satin or silk, and
is wonderfully effective. A damp cloth
keeps it perfectly. free from dust, and
Il does not wear out. so while II is
expensive at first. it outlasts a hundred
lace and embroidered covers. The toll
let articles are laid on 1t. Silver would
scratch II, but the fashionable toilet
sets are not made of silver. When
this metal is used tiny lace doilies
are placed under the heaviest pieces.
All the boxes. bottles and mirrors be-
ing of glass, are not injurious. The
candles are of crystal or Florentine
silverware and look prettier when
they have tiny lace pieces under them.
As some of the expensive dressing
tables are from six to eight feet long,
one can use up any amount of toilet
articles In covering them.

Guided, Mrs, Abrahams announced the
expected visit of Miss Janette Gold
berg OF Texas. organizer of the junior
sections of the Council throughout the
United States. The exact date of
her arrival in Savannah is underter-
mined, but it is probable that she viii
be here during the early part of jan
uary. Her visit will be one of great
interest in Jewish circles. During her
stay, she will be entertained by the
council of Jewish Women, and plans
for this were talked over informally
yesterday. A committee of three la
dies has been appointed to meet her
upon her arrival. Mrs. S. L. Lazaron,
Mrs. e. H. Abrahams, and Mrs. Law
renee Lippman. She will deliver an
address while here. and to this the
Council at large and the entire Jew

appointed to take charge of the en-
tertainment. were Mrs. Max Krauss,
Mrs. A. Vetsburg, Mrs. A. Shulhafer,
Mrs. Berg, and Mrs. Abrahams.
The literary side of the afternoon
was opened by Rev. DIR. Solomons with
an informal and delightful talk upon
England. He spoke briefly and COM
prehensively, his remarks covering the
period from the resettlement of the Jews
under Cromwell to the final removal
Of political disabilities in 1890. While
dealing chiefly with historical facts,
the talk was enlivened with sidelights
of personal judgments of the events
narrated and a catholicism of view
that made it doubly interesting.
Mrs. Henry Levy closed the meet
ing with the reading of a charming
paper, sent by the Reciprocity Bureau

New Interest in the Jewish Religion"
A pleasant incident of the afternoon
was the recitation by Miss Irene Solo

feeling and talent, and was greatly
