fie Felt CompIimented.

A man from Philadelphia, says a
writer in the Ledger of that city, was
visiting in a town of very few inhab-
it;slts. One day when he was about to
make a purchase he discovered that he
had exhausted his small change The
shopkeeper could not break the ten
dollar bill offered him, and the man
went out in the main street to see how
he might solve the difficulty. He asked
several persons, but no one had the
requisite amount for the bill. At last
an old white haired, seedy negrc came
along. In sheer desperation the man
said:
"Uncle, can you change ten dollar
bill for me|'
Uncle. looked dazed for a moment,
then his shambling figure Strengthened.
With a dofing of the heat and 4 bow
worthy of Chesterfield he replied, with
dignity:

lar bill, but I done 'preciates the COM
pliment jes' the same, sah.'

Writing as a Fine Arr.

In letter written by the late Lafca-
dio Hearn to his friend, the ntesical
critic, II. E. Krphbiel, the author says:
Let me dwell upon an art principle.
Both you and l hare trade-journal-
ism. We have also an art-authOrship.
The same system of labor cannot be
applied to the one as to the other with
out unfortunate results. Lei the trade
be performed as mechanically as is
consistent with preservation of ones
reputation as a good workman. But
when it comes to writing a durable
thing-a book or q brochure-every line
ought to be written at least twice, if
possible, three times. In the very act
of copying new ideas of grace, force
and harmony will make themselves
manifest. Without this, l will venture
70 say, fine literary execution is i'm
possible"

CHICAGO VOTES
ON new CHARTER.
BittefeSt Political Contest in

Almost a Unit Against
Special to the ARGUS.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Whether Chicago
ter drawn up by the Legislature last
spring is to be decided by the vote of
the people at the special election in
progress today. In all the history OF
Chicago there has probably been no
political contest that has equaled in its
intensity and bitterness Che fight that
for nearly -four months has been waged
for and against the adoption of the new
charter. The Republicans, generally
speaking, are supporting the charter,
with the Democrats almost a unit
against it.
The proposed charter contains num-
erous provisions, but the controversy
has centered about only three or four
Of the most important. In the main it
considerably increases h powers Of
the mayor and the city administration
by placing the school and park boards
under the control of the mayor. The
city council is also given power to levy
TAX es. The opponents Of the charter
al in support of their opposition
that the proposed order Of things would
result in placing too much power in the
hands of one man.
The new charter also includes within
its provisions tor municipal ownership
and operation street and other intra-
mural railways, sideways and tunnels,
a telephone and telegraph, gas and
electric lighting, heating, re~frigerating
and power plants. Under the provis-
ions the city may buy and lease and
buy and operate, or it may grant fran
chises Oh such terms as it pleases.
