CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Beneath
gloomy sky, in oppressive silence and
an atmosphere which seems ominously
laden with death, Chicago is, today,
veritable city of mourning.
Whole streets which are usually res
onant with the charge of commercial
ism, whose pavements are wont to be
thronged at this season with merry
makers, whose sky towering buildings
are accustomed to the cheer Of throb-
bling activity, are so silent that the rat
tie of funeral trappings bears with it a
sharp and sudden shock.
Funeral after funeral passed until the
grim buildings themselves seemed
forming an alley-like guardway TO the
vast gate of death. The pavement was
either deserted or habited only by those
who stand in an expression of hopeless
oppressive pathetic grief and have
changed the scene to one of the fun
eral soemnity of universal woe. There
is no sound of ringing sleigh bells, no
shout of mirth, no glad exchange of
holiday greetings but silence, aweful in
desolation or broken only by a moan
of despair.
The street gamin has forgotten in
this environment of gloom to call his
wares, cable cars give no tongue to the
gong and the very bells of death toll
with monotonous regularity muff1ed
stroke in unwonted usage in this al
most city of the dead
Chicago is today in blackest and
most profound grief. Nor can it's vital
heart throb be more plainly told than
in the words most frequently heard,
perhaps from one who lost neither kin
nor friends, MY God the little chill
dren," for in this mournful retipue of
this seemingly endless procession. de-
void of even that Customary pagentry
of death, almost all those silent passen-
gers are encased In small even diminu-
tive collins, telling again but too plain
ly of that pitiable futile struggle made
by little hands and feet for life, only
life, and mercy mercy from the fear
maddened throng that crushed them to
death by cruel feet like cast-off bios
SONS or dying flowers.
Probably this 1t is which makes cold
blooded business men. officers familiar
with scenes of violent death. careless
ones who laugh and hardened outcasts
stand, bound for the Nonce, in one
common tie, that of grief.
Yesterdays papers contained pages
of death columns and of burial notices,
today's tell yet of more; yesterday the
faces of pedestrians bore the dazed
look of the unrealizing; today, with a
comprehension vivified by a funeral
panorama without a precedent those
same faces are scared and scared with
sorrows brand.
Obedient to Mayor Harrisons proc
lamation that this be a day of mourn
ing even those business houses which
bear no Grape, telling of death brought
home, have closed their doors even that
maelstrom of the market. the Board of
Trade, is silent.
