plans for the erection of $20,OO0,- 900 depot
 The next step in the gigantic plan was shown, according to rail- road men, when 1t became known that the Pennsylvania road, which has acquired already a block oppo- site the Northwestern's property. is planning to increase it's holdings so as to take in the entire strip bound ed by South Canal street on the west, Fulton street on the north, West Madison street and possibly the south branch of the Chicago river on the east
 It is said that the road has practically secured options on all of the property within the described bling block in the way of the con cluding of the deal is the reluctance of Butler Bros to part with their newly erected warehouses, running south from West Lake street to West Randolph street and includ- ing the lot at the northwest corner of West Randolph street and West Water street.
 The St Paul road already owns the strip running along the north branch of the Chicago river bounded on the south by West Lake street, the west by West Water, and the north by West Kinzie street.
 This leaves but two city blocks of the area that is now already owned or bargained for by any of the three dominating roads. but it is understood in railroad and real es- tate circles that the northwestern is already contemplating the annex ation of this strip, which is bound ed on the south by Fulton street, the west by South Clinton street, the east by South Canal street. and the north by West Kinzie street.
 While the plans of the three roads at present are in chaotic state, it was predicted by railroad men when the intentions of the Pennsylvania became public that actual building operations would begin in the not far distant future. and that five years at the outside would show the completion of the greatest railroad terminal that the world has ever known. Easing their calculations on the amount that the Northwest ern contemplates expending on it's share of the venture, they estimate that the completed work would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000,-, 900.
 In addi ion to the fact that all of the roads have acquired or are bargaining for property adjacent to each other, it is pointed out that the Pennsylvania and the St Paul roads now use the same station--the old Union depo. at Adams and Canal streets-and that by the time the plans are brought down to work ing basis the Northwestern will un- doubtedly be induced to pool issues in the erection of one gigantic struc. ture that will cover the entire ground.
 In addition to the three dominat- ing lines the four following roads that now make use of the Union depot would be housed in the con templated new station:
 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.
 Chicago & Alton.
 Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & | St. Louis railroad. Panhandle | route.)
 Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago railroad.
 The only building which it is said the Pennsylvania has not yet ac- quired IS the strip under the plant of Butler Bros. It has only been a few years since this firm erected a series of warehouses, which with the land on which they stand repre- sent an investment of more than S1 100000.

Mir. BarniCkel' s Portrait
Iorlglnal.l

Ioriginal.l
 When Mr. Barnlckcl got rich the first thing he wanted was q crest which he found. though his title to lt was rather thin, and the next was his portrait to hang ln his drawing room and to hand down to bis descendants as the llneameuts ot the reinstitutor of the family. Arnold Elliott was at that time the principal portrait painter In the city where MT. Barnlckel lived. and to him. MT. Barnickel gave the or der, agreeing to pay for the portrnit $500.
 Now. although Mir. Barnickel had dealt In hides. an article not calculated to stimulate the imaginative faculty, his imagination was strong. The mo- ment he set himself up as a relnstitu- tor of his family he saw himself a fine looking. digniled gentleman of aristo- cratic mien and benevolent counte- nance. In truth. he was crafty look Ing man with a money making nose He saw the picture of himself grow Ing up In the hands of the artist as he was and not as he thought himself He made several protests, but when he attempted to point out the errors he sIgnally failed. He could not give the artist his conception of himself. and the artist had no choice but tG paint him as Mir. Barnickel, When the portrait was finished. there sat the merchant looking for all the world as If be were buying 2 cargo E hides.
 When Mir. BarnIckel saw the portrait he refused to accept It on the ground that hls best friend wouldn't take it

TALENT FOR !. N. 6. A.
COURSE SELECTED
Seven Entertainments Will
Make Up Next Seasons
Annual Series
ARE AFTER LA TOILETTE
Wisconsin Senator May Be Secured as
One Of the Star Attractions One
Entertainer, Two Lecturers and
Three Musicals Chosen = Course
Opens Late in Fall.

The talent which will make up the
annual entertainment course of the
Railroad Y. M. C. A. next winter has
been selected by the entertainment
committee of the association. The
course will consist of six, and possibly
seven, entertainments, lectures and
musicals. Two lecturers were chosen,
with the prospects good for securing a
third, as we'll as one entertainer and
three musicals.
There is possibility that Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette, of Wisconsin,
will be one of the star attractions of
the course. A contract has not been
closed for him, but the committee has
been given the assurance that he will
be secured for the course. Including
Senator La Toilette, the course which
has been secured is the most expen-
sive ever contracted for. The talent
alone will cost the association $3.50.
which is 500 more than was paid for
last seasons course.
With the exception of three enter
tainments all of the others are new,
none Of them ever having been seen
here before. 1t is probable that the
course, which will begin late in Octo-
Der or early in November, will be OPP
ened either by the Schildkret Hungar-
ian orchestra or the Vassar Girls. The
former is an orchestra of eight pieces.
appearing under the direction Of Sam
uel Schildkret.
The vassar Girls Is an organization
of eight young women. Comprised in
this company is a vocal quartet, sax
ophone quartet and brass quartet. 1t
is said that this company was organ
lied to advertise Vassar College, and
after its members graduated from that
school the organization was continued
and engaged in lyceum work.
The entertainer is Miss Katherine
Ridgeway, who has appeared here sew
eral times, including last winter. Miss
Ridgeway ranks high in her class. She
will probably be assisted by pianist.
The third musical is the Parland-
Newhall Company, singers, musicians
and bell ringers. This company APP
peared as an extra number on the
course last winter and gave what was
probably the most popular concert of
the winters series.
The lecturers. in addition to Sena-
tor La Toilette, are Father L. F..
Vaughan. Of Altoona, Wis, and Arthur
A. McMurray Father Vaughan Is a
noted Catholic lecturer, and it is prob
able that his subject here will be '"rhe
Power of Love-"
Mr.. McMurray is platform manager
OF the Redpath Lyceum bureau. Next
fall he succeeds Adrian M. Newens, OF
the department Of public speaking at
Iowa State College, Ames. Mr.. Nc
Murray appeared before the teachers
institute in series Of lectures last
summer, as we'll as in the chautauqua.
