When tho local committee In charge of tho thirty-fourth national encaitiii nient of the Grand Army of the Repub lic commenced to mnke plans for the big gathering hero, It not only had In r view the Interests of sightseers, but at tho same tlnio planned to nvold con gesting any one district, such as has been the result during other big func tions in this city. During the fall fov tlral a year ago State street business Intoroata were nlmoat stagnated by the erection of a court of honor and nrches from Randolph to Van Huron streets. drawing such Immense crowds to that thoroughfare that it was Impossible for business me to be reached by buyers." Consequently the selection of Michi gan avenue over other downtown streets for tho Grand Army pnrnmp raent arches and court of honor was a particularly happy one. Business Interests will not sufller; tho propor tions of the arches and columns will not bo dwarfed by high buildings: and tho green of the trees, the grass of the park and the effect of the lake area all lend beauty to tho architectural result. The material used In the work on the exterior of tho columns and nrches represents marble In effect. The open lugs of tho arches, through which the marching columns of tho G. A. It. will 'pass, are twenty feet wide and thirty feet high. The arches have been decorated with Btatuary and relief panels In plaster, symbolizing appropriately the differ ent branches of th army and navy. Richard W. Boch, sculptor, executed the sculptural part of the work. The frlrzo of the arches contain In re lief the names of some of the great generals of the army and noted admir iSst & UM GAR. 8$ SSj5 HONOR DECORATION OF MICHIGAN AVENUE. Max JVordau, Zionist. Dr. Max Nordau was by far the most conspicuous llguro In tho meet ing of Zionists held In London last week. He Is likewise ono of the ablest adepts among the Jews In the defense of his race, and is possessed, at the same time, of ono of the most brilliant riilnds In Europe. Nordau Is best known by his work, "Degenera tlon," which was published in ISO J, nnd which at once attracted Interna tional attention. His "Conventional Lies," published In 1883, prepared the way for his supremo conclusions in psychophysiological science, which were exploited In "Degeneration." He MAX NORDAU. holds In that book that nil modern tendencies In art, letters and llfo are proofs positive of physical, mentul and moral degeneracy. Dr. Nordau Is a Hungarian Jew, born at Budapest In 1849. He was educated at the univer sity there, and set himself up In the practice of medicine, but was driven from the city by rnco prejudices. Ho then settled in Paris as a physician. Friendly XOith Germany. In the rapid movement of events connected with tho Chinese crisis Am ericans should not overlook tho pleas ing significance of the recent Inter change of messages between Kaiser Wllhelm and President McKtnley.

WILLIAM M'KINLUV. Electricity and JVoiso. Many of tho noises ot the cities to day are duo to electricity. Theie Is the street car, with Its whir nnd clang ing gong, und the "anvil chorus" as It pusses along the unevenly Joined rails. Vet Charles V. Price, tho edi tor of tho Electrical World, assorts that the city ot the future will be noiseless and the credit will be due to electricity. Tho chief quieting Influ ence ns noted by him will bo the sub stitution of the automobile for the ve hicles drawn by horses. "The awful and constant volume of sound ot un numbered thousands of Iron-shod feet bnmmorlng resounding pavements will disappear forever, and with It 90 per cent ot tho noise and tilth and odors of the street. With the passing of tho horso also will go tho stone pave ments," he says. The automobile as yet, however, hardly tomes up to this glowing picture. Its whir can be dis tinctly heard by tho persons seeking sleep on n warm night. Its chief nil vantago as yet is perhaps its rubber tires, nnd It Is strange that tho makers of horse-propelled vehicles do not more largely avail themselves of this feature. It would do much to lessen tho nolso ot cities.

Hand concerts will be civen each night In connection with tho fireworks display In Lake Kront park. The band stands have been erected In the neighborhood of the reviewing stand so that tho seats thus furnished may be used for tho nightly celebrations. The military bands of Chicago and visiting posts will occupy the music stands for short periods throughout the day and even ing. Michigan avenue is broad and clean nnd well paved; It Ikib the park on one side nnd the row of well-kept homes on the other There Is no crowding of houses nlong the thoroughfare and no high buildings to cut off the sky line. Moreover, It Is not a busy street and It ! not deluged with trafltc at all times or the day and night. The ve hicles that are allowed on the avenue ijXZSZfc" RRRK B0T- AT THE NORTH END OF THE COURT OF HONOR, are of nn ornamentnl character, nnd they will add rather than detract from the court. The decorations give the broadest possible effect to the roadway and tlieie is nothing standing out be yond the cuiblug to clutter up tho street. The court Is long enough to give a good perspective and yet not too long for convenience. Everyone will bo pleased with It and that it will open the eyes of visitors ns to what .

The Haberdasher has discovered that If all letters were business letters, and If all business letters were typewrit ten, the use of "My dear sir" nnd "Yours very truly" would cost tho world 13,350,000 each year In typewrit ers' wages alone. If they meant anything nt nil, If thoy softened any asperities, or cre ated any more cordial relations be tween mercantile houses, these phrases might be excused, or even commend ed. But, as a nutter of practice, the Haberdasher remaiks, they are attach ed to "duns," to reproofs, to complnlnts, to every foim of communication, "and they nre as thoroughly worthless ns a campaign button on u cigar store Iu dlan." This reformer would like ono or two business houses with voluminous cor lespondence to ome out squarely against the.-e supcrlluitles and abolish them. And It would not bo ono year before there would bo a genernl re volt against this tlme-squnnderlng, foolish, old fogy formulism, nnd nil hands would be benollted."

Dai ry rn pie has for sixteen years past act ed as an olllcnr of the law In New York state and Pennsylvania. Dur ing this time he has mnde n remark nblo record that many more fortunate officers would be pioud to possess. He has arrested the boldest kind of crim inals, and has never allowed one to escape the penalty of the law by gain ing their freedom. Bert Hare, a Penn sylvania hotel man. attested on the charge of selling Intoxicating liquors to minors, was tho only man who ever got away fiom the footlesM officer for any length of time, lima was given an opportunity to secure bondsmen, nnd ran away. For three weeks Ollhor CHARLES DALRYMPLE. Dalrymplc searched for the missing hotel man, finally rearresting him. As yet the plucky ofllcer hnw never confronted a man too strong or quick to prevent his handcultlng him. Mr. Dalrympls possesses extraordinary strength, and might Justly be called a second Sandow. Ho Is a good tighter, a trained wrestler, and has nevor met defoat in a cntch-as-catch can match. During his sixteen years of service Mr. Dalrymplc acted as Constable of Frowsburg, a largo town near James town, N. Y. About six years ugo he left there nnd went to Kior.ua, n small town In Warren county. Pa. Ho was elected cntibtable of the town during tho first year of his residence, and still holds the office. Mr. Dalrymple lost his feet Nov. 17, 1865, while trying to dismount from a rapidly moving train nt Franklin, Pa. Ono limb was amputated fourteen Inches below tho knee, the other seven Inches. Since then he hns moved about on his knees with nn ease and rapid ity that Is no less than remarkable. Tho accompanying cut shows Mr. Dal rymplo In a standing attitude, Just as he appears every day on the strcbts, Mr. Dalrymple Is a good horseman, and spends some of his time In agricultu ral pursuits. Ho can dismount from a carriage or a wngon with as much ensu apparently as an ordinary person. Previous to the unfortunate accident nt Franklin Mr. Dalrymple was a sol dier. From 18C3 to 18G5 ho drovo a toam for the United States govern ment. He enlisted In the Ono Hun dred nnd Seventy-third Ohio Volun teer Infantry lu 1802, nnd was honor ably discharged nt Nashville, Tcnn., July C, 1805. Ho draws a small pen Elon.

Quito ti number of Arctic Investigators have been north nnd others south of It, but the region between 09 degrees and 67 degrees 22 minutes north latitude, a distance of about 100 miles, Is ns yet entirely unknown. A year ngo this tin revealed part ot the coast was a good deal longer than It now Is, but Lieut. Andrup explored n part of It last year and now he wlH return to complete tho work.

His destination is Angmagsnllk (6S degrees 45 minutes), tho only settle ment lu east Greenland. During this Journey ho will pnss nil nlong tho tin explored coast. While he Is on this mission a party of llvo naturnllsts on tho Antarctic will travel north to tho entrance to Scoresby sound for tho purpose of studying nnturnl history nnd exploring thu northern fiords 11 the condition ot the Ice permits. At the end of August tho Antnrctlc. will go to Iceland to take on a supply ot coal, and then will proceed to Angmngsallk to meet Lieut. Andrup. It may bu that the Ice will prevent Andrup from reaehlug that station this fall. In this case ho will havn to camp whoro win ter overtaken him and will resume hU route toward the south next year. Arctic Ice experts are very much afraid that the lee conditions will not bo favorable this season, nud somo of them predict that Andrup will not bo able to go as far south as Angmngsa llk, but that he will bo compelled, like Lieut. Ryder In 1891. to winter on thu bleuk coast. New York Sun. BIG SUNDAY CLASS. The Sunday School connected with St. James' Methodist Episcopal Church Chicago, is considered ono of the most flourishing church Institutions In tho United States. The only other to bear comparison with It In perfection ot working organization Is that of Mr. Wanumnkcr nt Philadelphia. Tho prosperous Sunday school found Its be ginning In the wedding of two small schools. One of these was held at tho Kenwood M. E. Church nnd the other at tho Washington Park M. E. Church. Tho small schools weru having n struggle owing to their too eloso prox imity. It was flnnlly resolved to unlto the two. Tho result has proved the wisdom of the step, for thu pres ent Sunday school hns now a regulnr enrollment of 1,221. TIiIb number In cludes the cradle roll nnd tho home de partment. The school Is divided Into departments named cradle, roll, home, kindergarten, primary, Intermediate, senior nnd musical. Each of the de partments curries on Its work Inde pendently of tho other, but a certain harmony Is maintained throughout. The fact that tho primary department has a picnic Is no proof that the kin dergarten will hnve ono, but the ono usually brings the other. For each department the superintendents vie with each other In "making his or her portion of the work as nearly perfect as possible.
