Every city in Australia should be an
ideal and model municipality. The
cities of that vast commonwealth are
heirs to the greatest heritage of the
centuries. In planting their centers OF
human life and activity they have had
the best of all forms of government to
draw from ano living Illustrations of
the worst to avoid. But the seeds Of
an old world city are not only sown,
but, alas! the tree of city problems
flourishes on AL sides. Yes, the evil
of human beings sweated into eternity
looms large UPON the horizon of city

IN LEAGUE WITH THE DEVIL
Balloon Ascent In London In 1884 Was
Made Holiday.

Tremendous excitement was caused
when London's first balloon went up
nearly q. century and a quarter ago.
The balloon, manned by a young
Italian named Vincent Lunardi, as
cended from Moorields, then an open
space of ground, on September Is,
1884, in the presence of more than
100000 spectators.
All business was suspended, the
king himself setting the example by
adjourn1ng cabinet council that hap
pened to be sitting. Vast crowds fol.
lowed the balloons course, some on
horseback, in carts, in chaises, but
mostly on foot.
Many were hurt in the crush, but
the only fatality recorded was the
death from fright of an old country
woman, who, coming out Of her cot
tage to see what the excitement was
about, beheld the balloon just above
her head.
On the other hand Lunardi undoubt-
eddy saved one mans life, a jury bring
ing in verdict of mot guilty on q
notorious highwayman in order that
they, the prisoner and the judge who
was trying, might rush out Of court to
, see the balloon.
The aeronaut descended eventually
near Ware, in Hertfordshire, where
his sudden drop from the clouds was
the cause of more establishment and
excitement.
Many Of the spectators swooned
with fear, while others urged the put.
ting of Lunardi to death there and
then on the ground that he must needs
be sorcerer and in league with the
evil one-Chicago Daily News.

boy, Frank Alberhasky, who became
Sc intoxicated that he !, had to be
helped home. Mr.. Milestone admits
selling the liquor, but claims the boy
wanted it for his mother, who hat

straightforward and he let him have
it after the request had been denied

building completely destroyed the
three story structure of the Sioux

$4,000. 1t was the city's most dis
astrous blaze since the big fire three

The blaze was discovered at
o'clock a. m. by Chinaman who was
delivering eatables at resort in
Pearl street, near the building. A
general alarm was turned in and six
companies were worked until 9 a. M
before the flames were subdued.
H. A. Sadler, secretary of the iron
company, places his loss at $4,000

Thackeray,s Poets.

Thackeray's favorite poets were
Goldsmith and the Sweet lyrick sing
ers," Prior, whom he thought the easi-
est. the richest, the most charmingly
humorous of English lyrical poets.
and Gay, the force OF whose simple
melody and artless ringing laughter
he appreciated. He admired Pope,
too; but while admitting Milton's
greatness, thought him such a bore
that no one could read him" 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that Thackeray
