WHAT 18 SAID IN CHICAGO. A spectal dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from Chicago says that the news that that city had been selected for the republican convention was received there just as the people were pouring out of the shops and factories. Newpapers containing the dispatehes sold like hotcakes, and in the lob- Dies of the hotels nothing else ‘was discussed. Prominent democrats now say that the convention of their party must yo there, too, and prepara- tions for presenting the claims of ‘the city before the national committee will be begun at once. ‘The new Auditorium building, in which the re- publican convention is to be held, will be a mam- moth structure. It is to be ten stories in height, will cover almost an entire block, and its seating capacity will be over 8,500. ‘The remainder of the bullding will be used a a hotel, with accommoda- ton for 3.500 guests. The structure, which 13 now raptdiy nearing the fourth story, will cost nearly $2,000,000. Of this sum all but $80,000 has been raised. “Now that the republican couvention has been assured the amount named will be speedily subscribed, and by Janusry 1 all the money Tequired will be in bank. The location of the Auditorium 1s one of the finest in the city, on the corner of Michigan avenue and Congress street. Its eastern outlook 1s the lake front, with the waters of Lake Michigan only about 1,500 feet distant. The depth of the building is the length of the Block between Michigan Wabash ave- hues, The design of the building is such that a delegate to the Chicago convention can find every ereature comfort under one roof.

In the kitchen a barrel of wine is provided by Princess Bismarck, two bands are in attendance, and theservants' fainilies appear on the scene. "The prince comes down, talks with the guests, and distributes sweets among the children.” The pleasant relations between master and servant are also evident from the fact Ubat the princess always gives six Easter eggs t9 each of the servants. ‘The domestic police of the prince consist of a sergeant and eight con- stables.

But no mortal could get his tongue to Say What he ihought about it, —s00 A Joke on Cabby. From the Kansas City Times. Did you ever try to play on @ cabman that old Joke of “the lost sovereign” It’s lots of fun. A friend of mine tried 1t last summer in London, and | succeeded, too, in spite of the rather chestnuty flavor of this practical Joke. He took a “growler” (four-wheel cab) after midnight at Piccadilly cir- cus to go to his lodgings, out in Bayswater. Re. Membering the staleness of the “lost soveretgn dodge. he ‘thought it would hardly “go down” with a bright and cunning London cabby, but re- solved to try, Just for the fun of It, Just’as they came in front of a pubiic house, a few doors trom his home, the “tare” stuck his head out of the cab ‘window ‘and ordered to driver to halt. “I say, cabby, I've dropped a sov in the straw on the bot: tom of the coach; just pull up at that ‘pub’ ull 1 Tup in and get a match so that I can find the coin.” “All right, sir,” said the cabby, and pulled up op- posite the door of the tavern. ‘My friend alighted and’ had taken scarcely three steps in the direction of the “pub” when lo! Mr. Cabby whipped up bis horses ‘and flew away into the foggy night ‘with him (as he Pal EP reg Sony sd 9a te ‘The gentleman, having now reached his: and ‘without expeuse, “omiled amnole “Uke auto the neighing of all Tattersal'’s,” and wickedly gloated over the brilliant success of the ancient sd. ‘Chief Justice John Marshall area sturdy race. One of them, bearing the great Jurist’s name, owns a farm in Virginia and runsa Saw-mill thereon. He got down fn the buzz-saw pit not long ago to fix a loose screw. Suddenly he felt something moving behind him, and he threw his arm up and felt the saw cut right through above his elbow, almost from skin to skin, Rais ing his head he Struck the saw, which cut. a groove right through bis hair, over bis forehead face and down into bis throat. When he was taken out his face was one mass of bleeding flesh. They laid him on the grass and brought a sui While the latter was running across the fei two the spot where the men left Marshall _he heard his voice saying, as well as the wounds would permit: “Shove this stuff away from my ye so that I can see whether it’s hurt.” They did “shove the stuff” away from his eye as carefully as possible, and he gave them one ghastly glance n Murra “Us all right; I can see.” It took the surgeons an hour and a half to dress all bis wounds.

SOME OLD WORLD CASES WHICH ECLIPSE THR PER- FORMANCE OF ANARCHIST LINGO, From the St. James’ Gazette, ‘The suicide of the anarchist, Lingg, by means of a detonator exploded in his mouth, 1s not the first self-murder of its kind. The annual reports of CoL Majendie and his colleagues contain several 1n- ‘stances of suicide by a similar use of explosives, ‘Thus, 1876, a natlye of Alsace put a dynamite forge laste oe a fired it, ad ed of blowing his head and the U Market, in Suffolk, a woman named Solomon, the wife of an oll merchant, purch.sed a quantity of gunpowder, and having made a circie of it — herself in the midst she fired the ir. he experiment was unsuccessful; nly slight in- Juries were inflicted on the woman. ‘Thereuy ‘she Went to an outhouse, and, putting a. ‘quantity ‘of gunpowder into a pall, placed herself over the bucket and applied a match. On this occasion her injuries were more severe, but for her purpose the explosion was again a lure, and so she hacked at her throat with a knife. She was found ina most lamentable condition, and died next day. At Nitshill, in Scotland, in October of the same year, a miner named Duncan obtained some dyna- mite and Levee ge and went into the street, the dynamite on the eee leaned over it and lighted the fuse. At this mo- ment some boys, attracted by his unusual atti. ude, came toward him. Keep back” shguted Duncan, “for the love of God, or you will be Blown into eternity!” ‘The boys ‘aloof; in a few moments there was a loud ex and Duncan was blown to atoms. In ber, 1881, a miner at Runcorn filled bis mouth with gun- Wder, ignited It with amatch apd succeeded 1h lowing the top of his head off.
