Wonderland /
Visitors to Twin City Wonderland
tomorrow will see the amusement park
with every feature in full swing. Water
was turned on the incline of the chutes

touch to that spectacular boat ride.
Work has been rushed to complete the
building for the tours of the world

further delayed by damage to its front

seated in a passenger car, viewing pass4

the bell rings and the whistle blows.
Davenport, the high wire king, Hilton
on the bounding trapeze, and the Min.
nesota State band, give farewell per-
formances tonight, and will be suc-
ceeded tomorrow afternoon for the
week by the Flying Moores, two men
and three women. There is always ex-

What Chicago Can Do.

Augustus found Rome city of brick
and left it city Of marble. Boss Shep-
herd found Washington city Of huts
and left it a city Of palaces. The build
ing inspector of Chicago found Pack
ingtown a city of flth-saturated board
houses and ought never to leave it I'M
til it is a model of sanitary complete
ness.
One Of the remarkable things about
the exposure Of Packingtown is the as
tonishing revelations Of the inadequacy
of the buildings of the district. 1t is
impossible to believe that these condi-
tions were all unknown to the building
department of Chicago. The packing
interests must have taken out permits
and the general character of the struc-
lures they were erecting thus become
known in the central office without the
necessity Of visit of inspection. It
is fair to assume that the building in
spector did know what was being, done
and that the packers were strong enough
to do as they pleased. It was an easy
matter for them, on the plea that other
wise they would be driven out of Chi
cago, to get almost any concession they
cared to claim in the building restric-
stions.
81 Now that they have been indicted on
other counts, the city rushes in and
takes a hand in the business Of de-
.manding additional building improve
S1nents. So far as one may judge from
the news reports, what the building in
spector is demanding is altogether in
adequate. A stairway here, a drain
there or access to the open air in an
other place does not meet the prob
lem at all. What Packingtown needs
is new outfit of buildings constructed
on the most approved plans which gov
ern the slaughter houses and milk de-
pots of the most advanced European
cities. There no chances are taken on
wooden walls, but every place where
blood is shed has hard plastered walls
and tiled floors, both of which can be
antiseptically washed at a. moment g no.
tice. 49,.
The best kind Of inspection is the
inspection Of cleanliness. Without IA
scilities for spotless Packingtown, the
most drastic government oversight of
the business will not be a complete sue
cess. It is the fashion just now to jump
on the packers, and surely they have
earned all the contumely that has been
heaped upon them. But the fact should
not be overlooked that, reform is in the
hands Of the packers themselves rather
than in those Of the government inspec.
tors. The packers should be encouraged
to recover the ground that has been lost
by their initial mistake, which was that
Of being in too great hurry to achieve
results. In the new beginning what the
situation first demands is sanitary build
ings and equipment and ample provi
sions for keeping clean. When this has
been accomplished the biggest part 81
the problem has been solved. Tt woule
take big expenditure Of money to re
place the Packngtown buildings, but i
would pay in the end The city Of Chi
;cago has a paramount duty to perform
in leading the way toward a buildin.

Lyceum Theater- .'....-. -
tThe Count Of Monte Cristo' will
be the attraction at the Lyceum thea
ter next week, commencing with a
matinee performance Sunday afternoon.
"Monte Cristo,'' the play evolved
from Alexander Dumas romance, is
without a peer in the realm Of melo-
drama, for melodrama it is, altho of
Titanic proportions. No more glorious
figure ever appealed to an audience
than the Count Of Monte Oristo, re.
turned to Paris after eighteen years
imprisonment In a dungeon, to humiliate
and crush his senemies, among the most
powerful personages in France. g.,
1t is in "Monte Cristo'' that the
cry of freedom which has been heard
around the world is spoken-"The
world is mine!" Edmonde Dantes, the
young sailor, bereft of his sweetheart,
Mercedes, seized and thrown into a
dungeon to languish long years before
he can effect his escape, utters that
wonderful cry Of JOY.
The story of Monte Cristo' is ia
miliar to all readers of polite fiction,
for Dumas romance is a classic in
French literature. The play of the
same name is splendid dramatization,
and Ralph Stuart, who has presented
the piece numberless times, will give
1t magnificent setting in all of its
stupendous scenes.

In 1884 I was appointed judge of the

first cause, an infinitely more mysterious
and inconceivable problem.
But there still remains, inside, so to
speak, of these. astonishing facts whole
range of intimate personal phenomena,
Of emotion, of relationship, of mental or
spiritual conceptions, such as beauty, af-
lection, righteousness. which seem to be
an eVen nearer concern, even more vital
to our happiness than the vast laws of
which it Is possible for men to be so I'M
conscious that centuries have rolled past
without their being investigated
And thus in such a mood reading be-
comes a patient tracing out Of human
emotion, human feeling, when confronted
with the sorrows, the hopes, the mo-
tives, the sufferings which beckon US and
threaten us On every side. One desires to
know what pure and wise and high
hearted natures have made of the prob
lem; one desires to let the sense OF
beauty-that most spiritual of all pleas
ures-sink deeper into the heart; one
desires to share the thoughts and hopes
the dreams and visions, in the strength
of which the human spirit has risen SUI
perior to suffering and death.
Those who read in such a spirit will
tend to resort more and more to large
and wise and beautiful books, to press
the sweetness out Of old familiar
thoughts, to look more for warmth and
loftiness of feeling than for elaborate and
artful expression. They will value more
and more books that speak to the soul
rather than books that appeal to the cal
and to the mind. They will realize thai
it Is thru wisdom and force and nobilit,
that books retain their hold upon the
hearts of men, and not by briskness an6
color and epigram. A mind thus stored
may have little grasp Of facts, little gar
n1ture OF paradox and jest; but it will be
full of compassion and hope, of gentleness
and joy.
Turnout Mr.: Benson's essays there i:
the same intimate personal note thai
one finds in the above. One, indeed
finds his book just one of the kind Of
which he speaks, revealing what he has
made of the problem Of life, and, there
fore, appealing. strongly to such as reai
for purposes like the authors.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
The rerranova Case in New York.

+
TO the Edition Of The Journal.
In last Saturdays issue you expressed
solicitude and fear lest Josephine Terra
nova 'be turned loose upon the colnmu-
nifty" etc. Had you first taken the
trouble to inform yourself regarding this
case, you would hardly have inflicted the
article headed, rs Acquittal the End?"
upon your innocent readers, unless pos
sibly the writer Of that article Is the
spiritual twin brother Of New York's
prosecuting attorney, William Travesty
Jerome
1t is, in any event, rather far-fetched
for us to worry over maladministration
of justice in New York, altho it must be
admitted that New York affords ample
grounds in this respect But since you
have taken up this subject, why single
! out the Terranova case? 1t is essen
TALLY Jeromesque to harrow up our souls
with the perils of confronting society
from the failure Of this New York jury to
deliver F-year-old Josephine Terranova
over to the executioner or the madhouse,
instead Of permitting her to retire to the
quiet Of convent, as she wants to do.
It Is notorious in New York that Mr..
Jerome is ever the brilliant, acute,
strenuously energetic, and relentlessly;
persistent prosecutor of poor, obscure and
friendless culprits like this child of sor-E
row, Josephine Terranova, while he APP,
pears halt, lame and blind, in the pres
ence of gentlemen thieves who embezzle
life Insurance. funds, or respectable road
agents who hold the public streets and
utilities in defiance Of law. The whole
Of the code Jerome might easily be; con-
densed to read on this occasion as fol-
lows: Better that a. thousand Perkinses
should escape Indictment, than that one
/ Josephine TerranOva miss the electric
chair"
Kindly permit me, therefore, to voice a.
protest against the erroneous conclusions
to which You have been led in this edi-
torial- so entirely at variance
with the judgment of the Jury who heard
the evidence, the opinions Of the eminent
specialists who examined the defendant
and Of writer's like Hawthorne or Doro-
thy Dix, who studied infinitely the human
and ethical elements involved.
&C. @. Peterson.
Minneapolis, June S.
If Mr.. Peterson read the article Of
which he complains at all, it was prob
ably after he had written the above let
ter. The editorial argued that the state
had still a duty to perform toward jose
phine TerranoVa. Since the trial an ar
rangement has been entered into between
the district attorneys office and the girls
repres entat1ves, under which she will be
removed from the Tombs to an institu-
ton in which it is said she will remain
at least four years, the object being to
restore her mind to it's normal condition.
This will probably be a great grief to
Mr.. Peterson, but must appear to many
others as the humane disposition to be
made Of the case This is what T h e
J ourna1 suggested.

have been solicited for the erecting of
pavilion in the Park which shall

will be well adopted for open mir en-
