From Our Chicago Correspondent., l.EOPATU V could not linu foreseen, nl- tlmugh tin pnoM call her I lu proud sorceress of the Nile, Unit the time would come In the transmutations of the whirligig when Chicago w o u 1 d question the mo tive that took An tony down Into Egypt to woo and to wed. And Ohl cugo would have gone on believing the story as It was put in n play by Shakespeare if nn Italian hud not come to town ami torn tho web to shreds. TliN Italian told the Chicago circle that Indulges In dreaming of the lotus and the mystery of the sphinx that Antony was just an ambitious schemer, u sort of grafter in his way, and that he was willing to barter his political strength In exchange for the treasures of tho Ptolemies In order to execute his Persian campaign. And Cleopatra herself was In the game. She thought, according to this Italian, that the com bination of Antony and Cleopntru would change the map. She wanted an ally. Antony seemed at Mie moment to he a comer. The ripping of the llctlon fabric, if li was llctlon, overcame the town like a summer wind laden with the aroma o" the packing bouse district. It appealed to a professor of the big university, h who carries the Egyptology med al, to call the Ital ian down. To the surprise of the town, this home Mgy p to I o gist stood In with the Idea. lie said be knew It nil the time. He was willing to admit that Cleopatra might have been a belle In her day, for she was a Greek, aud all (Jreeks were beautiful when there was no competing bcauly show. He meant that she was de- a soiit of aitAFTO!. scended from a royal Greek Hue. Hut Antony was not looking for beauty. If he had been he could have found It In Home. The match was made on the fame lines that matches are made now In families that are hunting for tufts. Cleo saw It in the same light. Mr. Shakespeare had taken liberties with the incident, as he did with other inci dents, and Chicago had been paying good money to see It on the stage. It looks now ns If the next manager here who puts on Antony and Cleopatra would have to drive tho playgoers in rather than turn them nwny. The question as to whether a man who gets only $0 n week ought to ask a woman to marry him and whether If she does she ought to live with him has come to town. The clubs are discussing It. Several leaders In so ciety hnve taken It up. One woman who Is generally forward In all proposi- THE LEOISLATUItU OUGHT TO HEdUfcATK THE QUESTION. tlons In which her sex Is interested takes the ground that the legislature ought to regulate the question. In her opinion It will have to come to this, for she docs not hesitate to atllrm that when a woman Is in love with a man Bho never stops to ask how much he is being paid. After she Is lu for it and rinds that the table docs not groan and thnt she canuot have n gown every time the moon changes she makes a foot race to tho courts for a divorce. Tne law has to Interfere in the wind up, nnd why not lnterfero at the start? Savo us from the female lawmaker. What next? If you became a mem her of the Geographic society of Chi cago, what would you expect to be asked to do? Wouldn't the name In dicate expeditious or boundaries or terminals or discoveries In unknown parts? Not In Chicago. The other night a section of the society weut out to Inspect a pie foundry. The mem bers wauted to find out what pie crust was made oC and to ascertain what was put betweeu tho lids. A layman trould llgure it out that the best way to learn about pic Is to take a little while off In tho kitchen. Not If you are a member of the Geographic so ciety. Before tho expedition started tho leader Informed the lineup that they would not be expected to take hammers or picks, as tho geological formal Ions which were to be examined would not require much physical exer tion. All who were Interested In that modern comestible, pie. were asked not to be funny when they entered the A. bakeshop, ns the cxiwdltjon" was for health purposes only. What was learn d Is still n mystery, but after tho visit was ended tho hunters adjourned to tho Art institute, whore n professor from one of the universities lectured, HM Arrtte- tve. Tllli MKM1IKIIH WANTIU) TO FIND OUT. not on pie, but on the great seaports of Europe The connection between the pie trip aud the subject of the lec ture Is not clear, but that makes no difference. The combination enabled a lot of folks to have n night out. If you are burdened with the Idea that it takes a good deal to amuse somo peo ple, this little story will Indicate how you have fooled yourselves. Several moons will wax and wane before the next Fourth of July, but a lot of mothers nnd wives and sisters have commenced agitating the prob lem of how to mako a boy enjoy him self without shooting off ilrccrnckcrs And experiment ing with toy pis tols. They spent a whole evening In talk. One moth er In Israel who had come In from ono of the sub urbs said a few words which will endear her to the boys. She said that you could not rob a boy of his pleasure without giving him a sub stitute. If a boy could not mako a noise lu his own back yurd ho 'J3U5ET Ga.OKS03J3 would go Into some other back yard and do a whole lot of mischief from pure cusseiluesH. She favored tho elimination of the Chinese racket pro ducer, but she Insisted that play grounds be opened where tho young sters could nice, play ball, go In swim ming, nnd then they should be led to a pic counter and tilled with dainties. A boy who had so been entertained would have as much respect for the Declaration of Independence ns he would If he had been permitted to blow off his lingers. The meeting ad journed without taking action. A recollection was turned up a few days since in a railroad otllce hero that will Interest some who wonder why railroads need money to carry on busi ness. A certain company had voted to order ?1,000,000 worth of passenger equipment. It was stated at the meet ing that fifty-three years ago the com pany operated only 100 miles of line out of the city. Itigld economies were practiced then. Each conductor of trains running out of the city sold tickets at tiie olllcc window until train time, then started his train, collected his tickets and, under instructions from the management, carefully saved and brought them back unpuuehed nnd sold them, us before, on his next trip out. Tho company had no clock of Its own, and trains were run by a timepiece in a drug store two blocks from the sta tion. It was not called a station then, but "depo." The advertisement of the company read, "Trains will start promptly on the time Indicated by the clock In the drug store." "Waiting at the Church," that usod to be warbled, whistled and thrummed everywhere nnd was then relegated, as all popular songs are, will be rejuve nated ere long If u certain minister in Chicago litis his way. The dominie lu question Is of the good old Methodist persuasion. At a recent meeting of the preachers of his denomination he told the circle that he was glad to learn of courtship lu the sanctuary. Somebody hud objected to It. lie knew of no better place to woo. lie didn't favor ogling while the word was being preached, either In the choir loft or lu the pew, but any sure enough court ship might bo begun on the way to church or It might be taken up on the way home. lie went some distance beyond. He believed that In twenty years from now any good Methodist might go to the theater without hav ing to explain such an act to the .church. In a word, he proclaimed that the Puritan idea had had its day. HE FAVOBED AKY SURE ENOUOU COURT SHIP. Whether this advanced Idea will con flict with tho intentions of other churches to start a big revival re gardless of creed early lu March re mains to be seen. Anyway, while the Methodist brother was declaring for wider latitude In church affairs it number of preachers of other churches, all Protestant brunches being repre sented, were arranging for evangeliz ing the city. Fifty pastors pledged themselves to help in the movement. When Mr, Moody was first evangel izlug. in Chicago he used to lean far over his pulpit every time ho opened u service and ask, "Ib Christ among us?" It is proposed to use that inquiry as a watchword la the coming big carnival. BEVERLY DEUX. 111 J n IBRCflLLaOY llli 111 HENRY L STIMSON. Federal Proiecutor Talkd of n Ntxt Attorney General. Henry L.

THE KING OF ITALY. He Knows How to Act In Face of Earthquakes and Eruptions. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy Is very popular with his subjects, and his popularity Is lu part due to tho way In which ho exerts himself whenever there Is any grent calninlty like that of the recent earthquake in Sicily and Calabria. During the Inst eruption of Vesuvius, whou 500 people were sup posed to hnve lost their lives, he was very energetic In devising means for the public snfety or for succoring the victims of the disaster. Tho king oven went Into placea of danger himself In his eagerness to sec thnt everything possible was being done lu behalf of his ufllictcd sub jects. At the time of th recent earth quake shocks tho Italian monarch was hunting In a district near Naples. Ho at once Issued orders that preparations be made for a trip to C'alabrln, which Is in southern Itnly kino victor em and with Sicily waxuki.. forms the center of the earthquake district. Hetween the earthquake of 1005 In this district, which destroyed thirty towns and cost about 8,000 lives, and the eruption of Vesuvius in the spring of 1000, the southern portion of King Victor Emmanuel's realm has in recent years been very much 111 treated by tlie forces of nature.
