SCENIC RAILWAY is BARRED.
Chicago Chief Of Police Says It's Dam
gerous and stops Cars.

Chicago, III, July g. Chief Of Po-
lice O'Neill has revoked the permit I'M
der which the "scenic railway at the
white City," runs on the ground that
it had made "too much of a record in
the way of killing people" and the
management of the amusement enter
prise Is trying to get the permit back.
But they have not succeeded. They
enlisted the, aid of Inspector Hunt
of the district in which the white
city, is located but after Inspect
or Hunt had sent in his report the
chief said he preferred to talk with
the building commissioner and did not
care particularly what the inspector
had to say. 1t was the first time in
the police history Of Chicago an in
spector was turned down without a
hearing.
They also sent their attorneys to
talk with Chief O'Neill, Eli B. Felsen-
thai Of the firm of Felsenthal & Fore
man, argued that the scenic railway
is a harmless form of amusement and
calculated to pro1ong the lives of those
who patronize it.
"This railway has been making too
much of record" remarked Chief
O'Neill, after he had received Inspect
or Hunts report. "The inspector tells
me he has personally examined the
structure and finds 1t perfectly safe
and is Of the opinion that the accident
was caused by some michievous boy
throwing brick on the track.
Without going into the question Of
the plausibility of the explanation, it. is
evident fho%
throw brick in the manner supposed
another one can, and it is safer for all
concerned to stop this railway. At any
rate will not let it open until 1 have
been told to do so by the building
commissioner"
Aldermen Jones and Eidmann. mem
bers of the building committee which
has twice inspected the place and re-
ported it absolutely safe, were indig-
nant over the action of the chief.
ut Is the finest place of amusement
in America" said Alderman Jones.
Being an alderman does not debar
man from earning living" said AL
derman Eidmann.
This last remark grew out Of the
fact that there was natural inquiry
for Alderman Snow of the seventh
ward in which the White City, is To-
Gated. Sixteen special permits all in
violation OF the building ordinances
were granted for the ''White City, ''and
Alderman Snow obtained most of
them. 1t also happens that Alderman
Snow has concession at the white
City" which is known in the city ordi.
nances as the "steel circle swing"
The scenic railway, which has
proved so fatal in its brief life was OBJ
Grated under one of these special per
mits. Alderman Snow, however was
out OF the city and the people in his
office said they did not know where
ne was. His friends insist his connec-
ton with the amusement enterprise Is
perfectly legitimate and there is no
evidence to show it is not.

Forever, o, Lord, thy word is set

brary. Upon the shelves are host
OF volumes, now forgotten, that a year
or score Of years ago, attracted the at
tention Of the civilized world And in
the vaults underneath other myriads
that are counted now, not as single
volumes, but as tons of rubbish. And
these were once, many of them, COM
manders of world. Their authors
were rejoicing in their success and
were complaisant in the flattery that
posterity would know their names.
Who wrote these books? You do not
know, nor l, nor the world The cur
rent of the worlds thought has swept
on and they have been left stranded,
not upon rocks, but in the quicksand.
"Lecky, thinking Of a past age, it's
greatness, and of the oblivion that had
settled over it, sang:
There. were mighty scholars then,
With the slow, laborious pen,
Piling up their works of learning
Men of solid, deep discerning.
Widely famous as they taught
Systems Of connected thought
Destined for all future ages;
Now the cobwebs bind their pages;
All unread their volumes lie,
Wondering so peaceably,
Cofined thoughts of coffined men,
Never more to stir again
In the passion and the strife,
In the f1eeting forms of life:
All their force and meaning gone

is more intense it is felt as painful

then the sensation of the hunger is also
of slight degree; it is evancsccnt.
Hunger is lesser degree of pain. and
is produced by the contraction Of the
This is the reason why
hunger passes away after Il certain
lapse Of time, even if no food has been
taken; it means simply that the muScu-
