Chicago, Tll., Oct. 25.—Prepara- j tions are already being silently made | for the anti-anarchist drama of Nov. | 11. Already orders have been given it is said, to the members of the Sec- ond Illinois national guard that they will be required to be on duty for a full week or perhaps longer prior to November 11, at their armory. or wherever else their services may be required, and the probability is that | | the first regiment will be called | upva to do the same. Ic is une derstood, however, that neith- er of the rim sis will be called frow their respectiv: a:mories un- less in case of abs .uie need. It is also stated on authority that the en- tire block on which the county jail | and crimisd court building are lo- cated will cordoned with police, and all the north Clark street buildings abutting on the jail will be guarded with police officers, and no one allowed to enter them until af- ter the execution of the condemned men. be In order to save the great family 0! curiosity seekers who are ambi- tious to see their fellowmen swing into eternity any anxiety, it may be stated that the sheriff has alread de- cided to limit the number of those present to those whom the law re- quires and to a very few representa- tives of the press. The gloom which has marked the condemned men, with one exception for several days past, still continues to deepen. The exception is that of Parsons, who still indulges in his chronic flippant good spirits and laughs and jokes with those who call upon him. The others, howev- er make no attempt to conceal their feellngs or to blind themselves to the fate which threatens them. It is stated by certain persons, who claim to have good reasons for what they say, that Governor Oglesby will grant the condemned men a brief respite, so that they will not be limited toa bare fortnight to pre- pare themselves for death. On the morning of the day during which there shall be a probability of the United States supreme court's decision arriving in this city—prob- ably Thursday morning—the guard upon the condemned will be doubled or perhaps trebled, and the freedom which they have hitherto enjoyed will be waterially curtailed. No one will be allowed to visit them at all. This precaution will be taken to avoid the possibility of any one ‘urnishing them with poison or oth- er means of suicide. Quite a sensation was caused to- day among the the inmates of the women’s department of the jail by an unofficial request that they help make the shrouds and caps to be used at the execution of the con- demned seven. Some of the inmates were willing to do the work required and were even anxious to partici- pate in the ghastly task, but others were strongly opposed to ren- dering any aid, and these formed so large a part of the inmates that it may be necessary to have the work done elsewhere. The material—white muslin—has already been purchased. Each shroud will be shaped like a bag, only with holes on both ends and gathered close at the top. The hoods will be half a yard in width and about the same length, gathered close at the top, which will be about ten inches across. The material is eat into the necessary shape and lacks nothing but the stitches that wre asked to-day of the motley crowd of women malefactors confin- ed in the same prison with the sev- en death-sentenced anarchists.

Stewart Got Even | was issued How Gov. “Bob” ' With a Steamboat Mate. An old citizen, a gentleman of high social and official standing in St. Joseph, tells a story of the famous Missouri governor, Bob Stewart, which, true to the letter, proves that fact is stronger than fiction: “Iwas coming up the Missouri river when I was a boy,” said the ex-governor, “and I was working my way on a steamboat. At a point where we had to wood up, I didn’t carry as big a load as some of the roustabouts, nor move with that agili- ty that the others did, for I was not strong and had been tenderly raised. The mate became enraged at my slow movements on the gang-plank and he gave me a kick and seut me ashore, and confiscated my buffalo robe as payment for my passage to that point. I never saw that mate again until I had been inaugurated as governor of this great common- wealth of Missouri. “One day, wandering through the wards and districts of the peniten- tentiary, I saw that mate working at a forge. He had been sent there for killing, in a passion, a man under his command. I knew him instantly, and I directed the warden to send the man to the gubernatorial mansion in the gab of a gentleman. When the man arrived I took him into my private office and asked him if he recognized me. He replied that he did not. Said I: ‘Do you remember one time and at such and such a place of kicking a boy and sending him ashore, who had been working in your gang?’ “The man siid: ‘No, I don’t re member it, but it is very likely that I did it.’ “Well, says I, ‘I am that boyand here is your pardon. Ialways thought I would get even with you.’ “The tears came into the old man’s eyes, and he said: ‘Well, governor, to be a mate in those daysa man had to be a dog.’ “You played well your part,’ I said; ‘now, leave here, and don’t let me see you again.’ “As he made his exit I gave him an able-bodied kick; and little Bob Stewart had got even with that big steamboat mate. “Sounds like romance, don’t it? Yes; but every word is true, I need barely say, sir.”—St. Joseph Gazette. eri- claim their grateful recognition and humble acknowledgment.

To the end that we may, with one accord, testify our gratitude for all these blessings, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the twenty fourth day of November next, as a day of thauks- giving and prayer, to be observed by all the people of the land. On that day let all secular work and employment be suspended and let our people assemble in their accus- tomed places of worship and with prayer and songs of praise give thanks to our Heavenly Fathe: fo: all that He has done for us, while we humbly implore the forgiveness of our sins and continuance of His mercy. Let families and kindred be reunited on that day and let their nearts, filled with kindly cheer aud affectionate reminiscences, be turrved in thankfulness to the suurce of ail their pleasures and the Giver of all that makes the day glad and joy- ous. And in the midst of our people and our happiness let us remember the poor, the needy and the unfortu- nate, and by our gifts of charity and ready benevolence, let us increase the number of those who with grate- ful hearts shall join our thanks- In witness whereof, I have set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed.

The members of a family named Lewis were engaged in burning corn stalks from a field near their house, in Carder’s addition. The little daughter aged 6 years, was helping, as children help, and while dropping a little armful of stalks on the fire stood too close to the flames, which ignited her clothing. and in an in- stant she was enveloped in flames. Her mother saw the danger and ran toward the little one, who also, per- haps from the fright, started to run, and before her mother could reach her the flames had almost suffocated her and all but burned her toa crisp. The agonized mother attempted to tear the burning clothing from the form of the child, but it was too late—life was extint. The parents gathered up the charred remains and A Series of Mistortunes. An Englishman of the last century, Sir Thomas Robinson by name, was famous for nothing but being a great bore. He made a great many visits, and sometimes many public men had to resort to all sorts of expedients to avoid him. At the house of a certain high official where he called, the servant’s announcement, “My master and mistress are out,” often had no effect on him. “Oh, well,” he would say, “I will just drop in and have a chat with the children.” Sometimes he said he “would have a talk with the parrot.” or “I'll just take the opportunity of setting the watch by the great clock on the staircase. One morning, when it was really impossible to admit him, Sir Thomas appeared bright and smiling, at the door. The servant looked down from an upper window. “My master and mistress are out,” said the servant as soon as- she saw | Sir Thomas. “Ah? Well, I'll just step inand”— “The children are all asleep, sir!” “Indeed? Well, Fl”— “The parrot is dead, Sir Thomas!” “Ah, that’s bad! At any rateD”— “The clock is stopped, sir.

One of the noblest traits of haman nature is the feeling in the hea which urges us to show gratituds for any favor or benefit we hay received at the hands of another. Selfish and cold indeed is the heart that will not respond in gratefcl expression for any act of kindness done, or that will not award praise and give honor where honor. is due. It is an old anda true saying that we should “praise the bridge that carries us safely over the stream.” These noble motives evidently ia- spired the heart of the Iady whp writes the following in behalf of her- self and her friend.

After I could be up again I had no strength; I was so weak that it seemed I could nog hold out much longer. The medi- cine I was taking did not do me any good.
