The Grand Carnival, which was held

fair that has ever been given by any

GRATED in elegant style, and the Grill
room was one great bower of flowers.
The services of five different orches-
tras, which included Dave Peyton's, v.
II. Dorsey's, Pekin Trio, Joe Jordan 5,
and Finney's Celebrated String Or
ehestra, of Detroit, furnished the mu-
sic, instrumental, while the best local
talent proeurable was in daily evidence.
Speeches on timely topics by Chicago
most gifted orators, were one Of the
daily features, and the grand vocal
concert Of Sunday was under the per
sonal supervision of Mr.. Tom LemO-
nier, the great song writer, who is
playing the Princess Theatre indef-
nitely. Messrs. Mccain and Shoe
craft express the greatest gratitude to

Is COL. ROOSEVELT GIVING HIS
BUTLER A SQUARE DEAL?

Mr.. George Ray Parker. a former
butler for Col Roosevelt at his Oyster
Bay home, has been charged with theft,
arrested and placed in prison. The
daily newspapers have already found
him guilty, and according to them, he
has made several confessions, and some
of the alleged missing property has
been recovered.
Later the police assert that Mr..
Parker attempted to assault a maid IN
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.'s employ.
This led to his discharge, and the loss
of the Jewels came as a result. Is Col.

Mrs. Rosa Snowden, 3716 Wabash ave.

Tuesday, at a disastrous FIRE on State
street, near Van Buren, street.
Mrs. Snowden, who is a nurse at the
county hospital, was passing when FIRE
men began carrying their overcome and
bruised comrades from the building.
She made herself known and worked
until 7 o'clock in an improvised "hOs-
pital' made of "walls" of mounted
police, who were forced to form a cor
don about her and the police ambu-
lance physicians to protect them from
curious crowd that surged forward
each time new victims were brought
out of the smoke.
Finding themselves unable to care
for the fremen and, noting that
several were cut and bruised by fall
ing parts of the building, the surgeons
started a "bus service" between the
fire and st. Luke's Hospital, which
continued until darkness fell. Mrs.
Snowdan was the last to leave the
'street hospital" She is attached to
the Children's Ward at the County
Hospital, and is one of the most pOpu-
lar nurses in the institution.

Taxes and Court Rights.

Justice Wright ruled yesterday that the
size of citizens tax payments does not
constitute measure of his right to pre-
sent himself in court as petitioner in
matters affecting the administration of
the municipality, properly subject to
court review or decision. This is the
only safe principle. If the amount of
taxes man pays shall mark his stand
ing in court as a petitioner, the larger
the taxpayer the greater his expectation
Of action. The courts are open to ALL to
the poor as well as to the rich, and to
suggest any other basis of judicial pro-
cedure Is to attack the fundamental doc
trine OF the American government. 1t is
astonishing that the claim was advanced
that because the petitioner in the case in
hand pays but a small annual contribu-
ton to the Districts treasury he lacks
standing In court, and it Is gratifying,
regardless Of the main issue Of this cause,
that the court set 1t aside promptly and
plainly declared that the size Of the tax
payment has nothing whatever to do
with the status of the citizen In matters

with his hold on his followers in the big
town. looked extremely formidable.
Things look less formidable today. The
fusion program has been badly messed.
Mr.. Hearst does not like Mr.. Mitchel's
associates on the fusion ticket. Mr..
Roosevelt does not like Mr.. Whitman's
acceptance of Tammany's Endorsement of
his candidacy for district attorney. Only
the national administration remains en-
tireIy true to Poll, and the fear is that
that may not suffice.
As politician Mr.. Hearst has both
courage and independence, and in New
York affairs works with the aid of two
widely read newspapers. His lieutenants
are men of experience, who know the
town thoroughly, and under his direction
have more than once organized impor-
tant movements in matters of local con-
Germ. Hence, il he should enter this
mayoralty race as a candidate to empha-
size the views he entertains about better
ments for city government, he would at
once become a most interesting factor in

beyond the ordinary. and his candiSacy
might complicate it in the extreme. He

his name. but has not replied to it.
