Bo much for tempora, so much for
mores, .ct ah!
The time will never come to Ghlcago
when it will forget Marshall Field,
merchant prince and prince among
men. It Is pitiful, however, that his
munificent gift to the city should be
even temporarily
shadowed by n
lawsuit. It was
nearly three
years ago that
he bequeathed to
the city $8,000,
000 for a perma
nent home for
the Field Mu
seum of Natural
History. Thoslto
selected was
Grant park, or,
as It will always
be to the old Chi
cagoun, the lake
front. There was
ouly one reserva
tion to the be
quest. Unless a
clear title to the
Bite could be se
cured within six
years tho gift
was to lapse and
the sum was to revert to the estate.
The memory of the oldest Chlcagoan
becomes decrepit In trying to recall
tho time when the city's title to the
lake front wasn't tangled in litigation.'
In the present case a friendly suit
was Instituted two years ago in the
hope that a decision in the courts
might bo obtained whereby the muse
um "building, which was the wonder
of tho World's Columbian exposition,
might be transferred to tho site pre
ferred by Marshall Field.
The suit did not come to trial. The
lawyers could reach no compromise.
The Judge In whose court the suit was
instituted has decided that the case
must go to some other tribunal. This
means Interminable delays, for the liti
gants who object to the museum hav
ing a home at the front gate of the
cjty refuse to yield a point. In three
years the opportunity will have van
ished and the museum will bo wan
dering In search of a home.

lecturer was a young medlcus who has
been making a specialty of bouse sani

they were in n majority of Chicago
homes, intimating thereby that llfo in
ft cell had n better chance than life iu
the home, the people in the audicnco
acted as if they wore nt n funny show.
It disconcerted him completely. !
And this brings to light another
fresh air fad. Tho traction company '
of this city recently put in commls-1
slou a collection of spick and span pay
ns-you-piitcr cars. The health com'
mlssloner took a trial rldo in one of 1
the newfangled coaches. .Something!
ailed tho car .ventilators or the com-j
uiisHlnuer's Inhalation tank was out of '
order. When he emerged he declared j
that tho atmosphere was rancid. An I
attache of the health bureau was In
structed to make complaint to tho
court, and lawsuits are threatened.
If the health commissioner had lived
here in (lie days of the bobtnll car
system, when the floors were covered
with enstoff hay from barns and left
to remain forty-eight hours, he would
think tho now pay-as-you-go cars were
clean enough for vestal virgins.
Ever hear of Professor .Tames Weber
Linn of the Chicago university? lie
went down to Englewood n fow nights
ago to speak to tho Parents' club of
Englewood high school. Englewood U
TOD CAN IlKAlt THIS PROFESSOR OHOH
TIiIKO. an exclusive environ of Chicago, be
tween tho city proper and the stock
yards, whero royalty und other distin
guished visitors are invited to witness
the slaughter.
The Parents' club Is what Ite name
Indicates. Ever and nnon tho club In
vites some professor to come down to
Englewood to talk nbout the English
lunguugo and what it'H up to.
Professor I.lnn catno over from the
Chicago university nnd lambasted the
Englewood pedagogues who had been
putting out such big words that tho
pupils spent most of their time in look
ing up monnlngH of the words In the
dictionary, so much so that the little
ones were late to luncheons or din
ners, thereby worryhig their mommas.
Professor Linn put tho "kibosh" In
dian lore, not slang all over tho die-
Uonary man. At the recent high school
examination, snld the professor, a pu
pil put In a quotation from Macbeth in
which occurred the word "gailowglaBS
es." "Ye gods," said the professor, or
at least bo is quoted as saying so,
"what are gallowglasses?" The chil
dren of tho school put In a whole day
trying to find out. War upon this sort
of English Is what Professor Linn la
out for, and the result Is that some
members of tho Parents' club In'En
'glewood are now demanding that the
dictionary be "cut out" oT'the public
schools. You can hear Professor Linn
chuckling or, I should say, chortling
In the rank grass that grows on the
campus.
I was passing tho Victoria hotel one
eveuing not long since when 1 heard
voices which recalled tho hubbub made
by gathering delegates to u national
convention. Tho Victoria hotel Is on
the lake front. The reason for its
name may bo new to the adolescent
population of Chicago. There used to
be a noted hostelry In the same block.
It was called tho IUchelleu. The bonl-
face of the establishment soon came to j
be known as the cardinal The only
resemblance between tho Chicago car
dinal and tho French prelato was the
former's gray Imperial, which he wore
twisted like a corkscrew. Tho Chicago
Illehcllou was the stopping place of
Henry Irviug and other actors who
had the price.
So when tho hotel Just south was
put up and furnished the owners cast
about for a name, and Victoria was
chosen. It offset IUchelleu. Ever
since every feminine gathering that
has met in Chicago has selected the
Victoria as headquarters.
When I passed iu, attracted by the
hum of voices, l quickly discovered
that the corridors were crammed with
women suffragettes. The English idea
has come to Chicago and camped.
And, mind you, the women I saw here
in this game are Chicago women. They
are clanntng together for the purpose
of having a wo
rn n n's suffrage
clause injected
Into the new city
charter so that in
the next munici
pal election they
will be In It.
They ore a deter
mined aggrega
tion. Ono of the talk
ers of the eveu
ing made a diver
sion which ap
pealed to a few
scared men who
lurked In an out
of tho way place.
I heard her shout,
"Buy your friends
ten cent Christ
mas gifts!"
"T h a t's the
stuff!" shouted
the men In hldlncr.
"We'rewlth you!" l nEABD UER 6H0CT'
The speaker concluded her sentence,
"and savo $10 worth of tlmo to spend
In tho cause of suffrage Instead of
making presents."
This was the woman's end of thd
proposition, and the men sneaked out
of a side door.
MoraL Never "holler" until a wom
an baa bad her say out.
