Suffrage Wins a Point.
A Goat Story.
From Our Chicago Correspondent.
'HIS time next
year nstronoinera
on Mnru pointing
their telescopes
nt Chicago will
woudor whether
It Is n prnirlo
dog village or n
country like their
own, abounding
In cnimls. For,
according to
plans, specifica
tions mul expec
tations, our sub
way will bo In
course of construction. Comptroller
Walter II. Wilson has sent the Informa
tion around the globe that tho scheme
Is llnnuccd. It will have ns n starter a
fund of SO.noO.OOO. Alderman Koro
ninn, who Is one of tho llimnco solona
of tho city, has sent out tho word,
"Spades will lly In 1010." This Is llg
uratlve language, for tho subway will
be, as tho name dignifies, out of sight
and not in the nlr. Aldcrninu Illnky
Dink of the "Foist" thinks that Alder
man Foreman should have Bald,
"Spades will be trumps In 1010," and
that would have been more readily
understood by tho Dink constituency.
The point to ho kept to the fore Is
this: Chicago Is going to have a sub
way, and that right soon. It will spoil
tho face of the city while the digging
Is under way, but wo can stand that,
for we hnvo stood everything In the
way of transportation. Wo have
played tho gamut from bobtail ono
horse ear to the elevated. Tho con
struction of the great underground
road will bo ns much of a task as tho
building of tho subway In Now York,
for, while we have no granite to blast,
the blue clay on -which the city stands
Is so compnet In Its composition thnt
it mny require something more than
dynamite to loosen It. But when tho
road Is finished It will bo tho best un
der tho crust of the earth, nnd when
we come to celebrate tho Fourth of
July will get out of the calendar.
When a man from the fnr west hits
the trail In Chicago even for ono day
ho needs n guardian. A sheriff from
Montana stopped over hero for n res
pite, no had In tow a prisoner who
had boon taken from tho county Jail
In FTolwken, X. J. In order to make
Ills prisoner stny put the ofllelal at
tached to one leg and foot of his cap
tive a contrivance known ns the Ore
gon boot. It Is a heavy weight which

when ho is left unhitched. As the
sheriff and his "bird" were tnklug In
the sights the ofllelal read a sign over
n door to wit, "Ladles Shave You
Whilo You Wait." The Montana of
fleer felt of his face. It required ton
sorlnlisdng. In he went. Ho was n
humane man, was this ofllelal. He un
hooted his prisoner and then slid Into
the chair. Once under the touch of
the lady with the razor he closed his
eyes. Touch and lather made him tem
porarily oblivious to bis duty as an
oflleer of tho law. When the opera
tion was over and the sheriff bad
looked at himself In the glass he
reached down In his leather for tho
price. While so engaged ho took a
squint at the corner where he had
placed his prisoner. The "bird" had
flown, no left the Oregon boot as n
souvenir.
A synopsis of the "Don'ts" for the
safety of ministers of the church, pro
posed by tho ltov. William Eleazar
Barton, formerly of Boston, now pas
tor of tho Congregational church In
the exclusive outsklrt of Chicago, Oak
Tark, Is as follows:
Don't nnswer the telephone. Make
your wife do It and have her find out
what is desired.
Don't go on n pin
toral vlHlt unac
companied. Don't
make a sick call
or go to n Iiob- ,
pltal alono. Don't
llstou to n wom
an's confidences
alone. Don't go
anywhere you
would bo asham
ed to be seen by
your wife or by
tlio rliiirrli linnrl
a.
KiJlPyf iT Don't remain In
$Mik m your study alone
without locklug
the door. Don't
have nny confer
ences with wom
en members of
the church If your
wife Is nbseut
without calling In
tho Janitor.
Here follows a consensus of opinion
on tho Barton "Don'ts," so far as
views have been obtained: What about
the ministry thnt observes celibacy?
What about other ministers who have
if rsvo- H
.
" fX$fcil if
&mW-

f 'fl
n wives? What about tho ministers'
wives who have n day off? They can
not always he on hand. What about
the Janitor? He cannot bo expected
to quit tho furnnce or his other Jobs
every time n woman comes to see the
pastor. And supposo he could. How
many women would care to tell any
of their troubles so that they would bo
repented by the Janitor? Finally, why
should nil women be suspected be
cause of the few who may bo design
lug? So far as heard from, the Boston
"Don'ts" won't have much of a run In
Chlcngo. But the Boston domlute hns
managed to get himself Into ns much
publicity ns If he had had a press
agent.
Here heglnneth the story of thirty
seven goats of tho Italian quarter of
Chlcngo: There was a pot kid named
Itoslna tint went visiting. Tho old Bhe
goat of the qunrtcr, known ns Murine
cla, met Itoslnn nnd acted as If sho
wanted to show "oslnn tho sights nnd
tin cans of the section. Anyway, on
the arrival of Itoslnn thirty-five neigh
boring ruminants of the family of Bo
vldoe (vide Encyclopedia In re Goats)
turned out to entertain Itoslnn with
entrees of wlro fence, goulnsh of post
er bills and other dainties which
make goats content. They were hav
ing a canning time (corking bnrred, be
cause goats don't cat cork) when tho
owner of Itoslnn missed her from tho
macaroni yard whero sho wns wont to
take In tho family wash whilo tho
madro and her pudroncs wero In tho
house. The owner of Itoslnn, trailed
by his household, went on n chnso for
the missing climber. Billboards, ash
enns, doormats nnd wooden sidewalks
were upturned. The police had been
called In to assist nnd tho pntrol wag
on wns nearby. Every goat owner In
7U aoAr ewr-
the quarter turned out. If you never
saw au Italian quarter on n goat hunt
make arrangements to remain on enrth
until you do. In tho shnnlc of tho pur
suit tho vnnguard saw a Hock on the
horizon of gonthmd and gave the slg
imr of Eureka In Italian nnd then
there was hot hnste. In the clatter
tho herd became sopnrnted, taking as
many different routes ns there are
points of the compass. Mnriuccln,
with tho Instinct of n true hostess,
covered tho retreat. In doing so sho
fell captive to the patrol wagon, nnd,
despite the lamentations of her owner,
she was hustled Into tho vnn In a
very unladylike manner. When she
was caged all others had fled. The
wagon hurried her to tho dog pound.
Seeing her fate, tho owners of tho re
turning goats for goats do meander
hack after a raid or foray hived their
herds for protection.
That night tho enn enters were mem
bers of tho families. They had a night
of It. The next day there were many
wnlllngs from tho family circles, for
while the families had slept the goats
devoured the rugs, carpets, sheet Iron
hrlc-a-brne and had begun on tho wall
paper of tho shanties when they were
discovered.
For n long tlmo sonic of tho more
progressive Chlcngoans have been jeal
ous of New York's removal of land
marks. Such n thing, In tho estima
tion of the progressive element, Indi
cates age, and n town thnt has build
ings old enough to demolish Is sup
posed to bo on tho map. Just where
to begin hns been n puzzle to tho now
Chlcngoans who wnnt to destroy some
thing. They found nn old bridge up
In Lincoln park which had become so
rickety thnt a squirrel would not risk
&
hls life thereon. This brldgo became
known as "suicide bridge." Thither
most of the weary ones wended their
way nnd tool; the fatal leap. The new
demolition party h: jested thnt
tho bridge must go . iu park com
it i .ers have been petitioned to
down tho span. The town Is getting
old. All with sulcldnl bent will take
notice.
The sun Is shining on the cause ot
womau suffrage In Chicago. When the
rcriit charter convention had finished
Its I ,".urs by n vote of 20 to 12 the
plonk jrovldlng for municipal woman
rii.T.;,- had won out. The women
who made the fight are receiving un
stinted prniso for the way In which
they carried their cause. The question
now goes to the state legislature, nnd
tho suffragists will maintain a lobby
at Springfield nnd go to tho capital
from Chicago and other parts of the
Ftato in full force when a hearing 13
:rnnted on the measure. This munic
ipal suffrage campaign has been of
Immense educational value. It wns
supported by womeu representing tho
lK-st thought of the city, prominent
ninong whom are Jnno Addams, Mrs.
Charles Honrotlu, Mrs. Catharine
Wnugh McCulloch nnd Mrs. Elln S.
Stewart. Mrs. Stewart U the president
of tho Illinois E,unl Suffrage associa
tion, nn oflleer In the National Ameri
can Woman Suffrage association nnd
the treasurer of tho woman's municipal
campaign committee. It Is sho who
hns raised the funds to carry on thta
work. BEVERLY BRDX.
