TO how far the issue has progressed so
far with consideration of their inter
ests. The Argus, for its own part, has
no hesitancy in saying that it believes
the council has labored conscientiously
to adjust the controversy in manner
most beneficial to the city. The of
fcers and representatives of the COM
pany have met the city, too, in spirit
of frankness and in an apparent dis
position TO be fair, but the present
company is laboring under the disad-
vantage that has come through the I'M
popular attitude of the corporation in
the past, which naturally created a
prejudice in the minds of the people
that it is hard TO efface
1t is to be hoped that the controversy
may Yet be adjusted in a manner that
VIII give to the city both the protec-
ton that it is reasonable to exact and
the public convenience that becomes Il

The people of Chicago have the prob
lem of municipal ownership of local
transportation facilities presented TO
them for solution in about as plain a
manner as could be desired. With the
ruling of the supreme court of the
United States to the effect that the
franchise of some of the most import
ant street railway corporations are
void. the opportunity is presented, but
on the other hand there is the opinion
of the expert Dalrymple that American
cities are not yet ready for public con-
troll of such utilities and that to his
mind the proposition is Impractical
BILE and illogical at the present time.
So it's TO the citizens of the windy city,
through their common council TO de-
termine the question. The way is open
if the way is at hand.

loss as compared with February of last
year The loss in Baltimore is 40 per
cent. due 10 the circumstance that the
city is practically rebuilt, or arranged
for. The only other cities of import
ance that show a loss are San Francis
co. Cincinnati and Pittsburg-two per
cent in the first instance, IL in the sec
ond and 10 in the last. The gain in
New York is 80 per cent, which be-
comes very remarkable when we re-
member the unprecedented building ac-
tivity that has prevailed there during
the past two or three years. In Los
Angeles the building operations con
tinue at the rate of over 100000 a
month and the city is in the same class
as st. Louis and other big cities.

Failing in every other means OF
checking the railroad rebate bill, the
administration senators seem now de-
termined TO so burden and cucumber
the peoples measure with amendments
as to make it practically meaningless
when it does pass. The enactment has

whether or not he can keep it on the
track with the breakers that are being
thrown in the way by the railroad eX-

UNCONSCIOUS BEAUTY.
[Original.]

iOriSinal]
There was once Il king whose queen
had been so vain of her beauty that he
directed that their only child. Il daugh-
ter, should be kept from seeing her own
features as long as possible. The queen
died when the little princess, Henrietta,
was an infant, and the king placed the
child in one of his palaces, where she
was brought up in charge of her aunt,
the Duchess Margaret. Not mirror
was permitted in the palace, and the
king ordered the water in the artificial
lakes and basins with which the spa
cious grounds abounded TO be drawn
off. for fear the princess should catch
the reflection of her face. From time
to time the duchess was required to
make reports to the king concerning her
charge
1.-The princess is growing to be very
beautiful" the duchess reported when
Henrietta was sixteen years old, land
is absolutely unconscious of her
charms"
'Tell her." replied the king, "that she
is very homely."
The order was Obeyed. The princess,
who up to this point had not thought of
her own appearance, was seized with a
desire TO see what she looked like. and
the duchess was obliged to double the
Instructions she had thrown in the
way of her doing so, but in time Hen
rietta began to consider that the sight
of her ugliness would only distress her,

died suddenly. and she became queen.
Those near her at once broke the Sc
cret of her beauty to her. but she
would not believe them. Now that
/ am queen you are all disposed to
hatter me-" she said, land, though L
lie uglier than MedIsa, you would
make me believe l am beautiful as
Venus" Her first edict was that any
one being instrumental in showing her
her features should at once be behead-
ed
Many neighboring princes proposed
for the hand of the queen. but she, be-
lievlng in her ugliness, feared that
when they came to see her they would
be shocked, and she would listen to
none of them.
NOW, queen lO
strong minister to assist her in gov
erning or to foil her enemies, soon be-
came Il prey to Il coalition of kings
who formed an alliance to invade her
kingdom, conquer It and divide ii
among them. The queen did the best
she could TO stem the tide that set in
against her; but. having no general on
whom she could rely, her forces were
beaten, and there was every prospect
that her kingdom would soon belong
to her covetous neighbors. For some
time n young officer, TheodoruS, had
been rising through merit alone from
one command to another. and at last
the queen decided to appoint him her
general in chief. She had never seen
him-indeed. she knew nothing of him
except what he had accomplished in
her service.
Meanwhile she was so troubled about
her affairs that no one dared risk be-
ing instrumental in showing her that
she was beautiful instead OF ugly, for
in her present mood even the discovery
that she had been mistaken might lead
her to deal numerically with her in
former.
No sooner had the young general
come to the supreme command than
the tables were turned against the
queens enemies. In series of bat

ties In which he displayed not only
great vigor and generalship. but per
sonai bravery, he routed the armies
of his foes, laid waste their own king
doms and annexed them to the king
dom of his sovereign.
When the war was over great prep
arations were made at the capital TO
receive the victorious army. Even be
fore his arrival the queen made Theodo-
rus a prince, bat this was only the be-
ginning of the hOnors THAT were TO be
given him. He marched home with th3 +
portion of his army not needed TO cen

ton forming front to her palace upon
which to receive the young hero. For
fear he might break the law in show
ing her her supposed uglineSS and thus
lose his head she sent him Il copy OF
the edict embroidered on velvet. Upon
his arrival at the palace he threw him
self from his horse before the throne
and was about TO knee at the queens
feet when he was startled at sight of
her transcendent beauty. Then, in
stead Of kneeling, he thrust his polish
ed shield before her face. The effect
was electrical The queen gazed for a
moment at her features, then, rising
from her throne, knelt at her subjects
feet.

longer worthy to be queen. for you
have disobeycd my edict. and as your
sovereign | should be obliged TO be-

TheodOrus, raising her, led her back
to the throne, then knelt before her.

await your majesty's eXecutioner."
Then the queen ordered another
throne to be brought, and amid the
huzzas of the people ordered the prince
she had created to sit upon it beside
her and the heralds to proclaim him
king, thus signifying her royal will
that he should be her husband.
The reign of Theodorus and Henri
eta was the most glorious that had
ever taken place In the kingdom.
