cHIcAeo's GREAT MEDIA NEW
CHARTER.
by Frank d. ComerfOrd.

At the last session of the Illinois
legislature an amendment to the CON
stitution was passed, granting the
legislature the right to pass special
laws for the City of Chicago. This
resolution for constitutional amend
ment was ratified by the people of tn;
State Of Illinois on election day last.
Under this resolution We have a def
mite and positive authority TO devise
for Chicago a scheme or charter OF
local municipal government. The
question has no political significance
Every good citizen of Chicago anxious
to see our city with good ecOnOmi-
cal progressive and adequate system
of government, is in favor of a new
charter. In the discussion of the ques
ton by the lawyers and the press a
large amount Of technical language
has been used, causing many of our
citizens some confusion in understand
ing definitely the intention and pur-
pose CT the constitutional amendment.
Briefly, my purpose is to simply
and directly explain the question.
The constitution Of 1870 of the State
of Illinois insists upon the uniform
application of laws, and expressly
prohibits special legislation.
in 1872 the legislature passed law
known as the Cities and Villages Act. !

William H. Clark, the subject of this
sketch, was born in Miidleport, o. He
was educated in the public schools
Of his native town, and at the Ohio
State University. While a student al
the State University, Mr.. Clark was a
member Of the baseball team and was
its first baseman when it won the col
lege championship Of the state. In
1889 he was elected "Arbor Day" ora
tor by his class and in the following
year represented his college in the
Inter Collegiate Oratorical Contest at
Springfield, Ohio.

Mr.. Clark is Democrat in politics
and has been employed in the Cor.
poration Counsel's ONCE since the
spring Of 1897. During the Hopkins
administration he was clerk at the
Harrison Street Police Court. Mr..
Clark has been favoraDIy mentioned
by many of his loyal friends of both
races as the most suitable or proper
person to make the race for alderman
Of the Second Ward at the coming
Spring election and II the leaders of
the Democratic party desire to play
politics in dead earnest they will nom
mate him.

TO be ont of a job. One of these
tramps of the deep and stock in trade

come to Annapolis to spend a few
brief weeks. This is vouched for by
no more veracious persons than Daniel
Burtis and Horace Bright.
This morning. while out in a boat,
they saw large fin cutting the water
and coming in their direction from
the Academy sea wall. 1t was NOV
ing with the speed of torpedo boat
and at first they thought it submerg-
ed submarine boat. 1t came nearer.
however, and then they saw that it
was real live fish. As near as they
could make out it was at least 20 feet
long and was after the style of a
thrasher, the satellite of the shark and
whale. 1t soon passed from sight in
the direction of the bay.
