Chicago, July 23. J. Frank Hanly
of Indiana and Ira D. Landrith of
Tennessee, nominees of the prohibi

ident of the United States, were guests
at a reception tendered by local pro
hibitionists upon their arrival in Chi

held.
Mr.. Hanly told several hundred
persons who greeted him at the re

to victory. He announced that within
few days, a meeting of the execu

the world was so loucncu UJ
spiration and the , realism of his
ivmhnls that he was one ot
the few that, devoting their lives to
poetry, have gained a fortune.
Mr. Riley was peculiarly sensitive
to the advance of age, and evaded
Inquiries as to the date of his birth,
but the most accurate information
available indicated that he was born
in 1848. "Should you ask him his
age " one of his friends said, he
would answer that he was 'this side
of 40,' and leave you to guess which
side. .;, "i .
Born to the Law.
The pbet was the son of Reuten
A. Riley, a lawyer and political
speaker of Greenfield, lnd. The
younger Riley could not be brought
to the dull routine of school days,
but he was wise in the lore of
streams and fields. His mother, who
was Elirabeth Marine oeiore rier
marriage, was a writer of verse. In
stead of preparing for the practice of
law, as his father wished, the son ap
parently prepared for nothing, and
when he left home, he turned itiner
ant sign painter to make his living.
What he carried : from the little
school house was Some sympathetic
knowledge of literature imparted by
his teacher, Lee O. Harris, himself
a poet. - " y ' '
For ten years Riley roved the Ohio
valley, painting commercial signs on
fences and farm outhouses. He had
the trick of brush and pencil, and
cleverly drew sketches illustrative of
the virtues of merchandise advertised
in the signs he and his fellow artisans
made to bloom on the roadsides. He
was naturally musical, and shone as
s fiddler in the villages at which his
party stopped at night. He played
lor dances and at concerts in country
hotels, and he wrote rhymes which
sometimes found their way into the
country newspapers.
Takes Up Newspaper Work.
He led this cheerful, free and easy
life until late in the 70s, when he
took employment as a writer for a
newspaper st Anderson, lnd. He
had now begun to write verse stead
ily, but with little encouragement
from publishers. In 1877, for the pur
pose, st ha said, of proving that he
could write poetry of value, he per
petrated "the Poe hoax," which for
years was a literary sensation, which
he often regretted, and ot which, as
he often told his friends, he knew
he never would hear the last
In the early '80s Mr. Riley settled
in Indianapolis and began writing
verset in ''Hossier" dialect for the
Indianapolis Journal for a small sal
ary. He sent some of his poems to
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and
they received hit praise. A volume
was published and "the Hoosier
poet" began to win a public.
He was a graphic reader of bis
own verset, and for fifteen years, or
until 1893, he made tours of the coun
try, appearing in public entertain
ments with great success, both alone
tnd in association with the humor
ist, Bill Nye, who was his intimate
' (riend.
Wealth Comet to Him.;
Publication of books of poems
year after year brought Mr. . Riley
wealth and wide recognition of his
literary genius, and not only in the
genre form. Many of his poems are
of imaginative fantasy or are gently
philosophic. In 1902 he received the
degree of master of arts from Yale
university and in 1904 the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania conferred
upon him the degree of doctor of let
ters. - , ":
In July, 1911, the poet presented to
..verses in "Hoosier district for the
the city of Indianapolis property
valued at $75,000, for a site for a pub
lic library and school administration
building. .
Mr. Riley never married, but he
was a lover of children, whose spirit
he divined so intimately, and of fam
' ily life. Many of the last years of his
life he spent in the home of friends
in s secluded neighborhood of In
dianapolis, in Lockerbie street, which,

. Freaks of the Blast '
One mother who had entrusted her
baby to the woman beside her
snatched her child from her arms as
she was falling, having been struck in
the abdomen by some metal. The
child was unhurt. One of the freaks
of the catastrophe was that after the
wounded had been taken care of
doiens of shoes, apparently blown or
torn irom tne teet ot those around tne
scene, were found.
Articles of clothing were also found
here and there and one woman who
escaped with slight bruises and shock
was stripped almost nude by the force
of the blast -
The proprietor of the cafe outside
of which the bomb was placed stood
less than six feet from the fatal suit
case and escaped without injury. He
was standing just inside an open door
way watching the parade. The con
cussion threw him to the floor. .
SOME HORSEBACK RIDES
Notable Trials of Man and Animal
'. Endurance In European
' ; Countries,
Dick Turpin's ride-'to York on his
brown mare Bess was, as a matter
of fact, an impossibility, it having
been claimed that he rode from Gads
hill, a distance of nearly 100 miles,
in less thin four hours. At any rate,
his presence at York at 7:45 o'clock
cleared him from the charge of rob
bing a sailor in Gadshill at 4 o'clock
the same morning.
Cooper Thornhill's ride to and from
between Silton and London on April
29, 1745, however, was actually per
formed. He rode 213 miles in eleven
hours, thirty-three minutes and
forty-six seconds, but he bestrode
nineteen horses in doing it. This was
an average of nineteen miles an hour.
George Osbalderston, in 1831, on
a wager of $5,000 that he would ride
200 miles in ten hours, accomplished
the distance in ten minutes over
seven hours. He had ridden twenty
eight horses and was allowed one
hour and thirty-two minutes and
fifty-six seconds for changes, while
he had kept round and round the cir
cular four-mile course on Newmarket
Heath. He rode more than twenty
eight miles an hour.
Captain Selvi of the Italian cavalry
performed the exploit of riding 580
miles in ten days. As the Italian
miles are shorter than ours, he

IT'S UP TO THE COOES
HAPPENINGS IN
THE JAGIC CITY
Residents Near Thirtieth and
Q Streets Enter Complaint
About Acts of Loafers.
TRADERS NAME OFFICERS
If the regulars or the militiamen on
the border are not getting satisfactory
meats it is the fault of their cooks in
preparing the meat or of the quarter
master's department in not taking care
of the meat. The packers are follow
ing the specifications as furnished by
the government with care, and the
commissary department has inspectors
wno lonow every step in the prepara
tion of the roast beef, corned beer, the
bacon and the corned beef hash from,
tne selection of the carcasses in
the cooling room, through the cutting
and trimming department, where fat
and gristle are rejected, and to the
final packing room where the meats
are wrapped or canned in the style
approved by the government.
lhe United Mates armv ration re
quires a better grade of young meat
than the English government de
mands. This is especially the case in
regard to bacon, of which the Ameri
can soldier it a big consumer. The
specifications demand that the slabs
weigh not less than ten pounds nor
more than twenty when laid down
green. The strips must contain a
good streak of lean in each piece, and
De more tnan tnree inches thick at
the shoulder. They must be allowed
to dry at least one day before being
suDmiitca to smoking witn nickory
wood for a period of eight davs or
more. The excess salt must be brushed
from the slabs, instead of being
washed off with water. The Chicago
packing plants now have orders for
3,000,000 pounds of bacon and are giv
ing it tirst attention in preterence to
foreign and commercial orders.
Responsibility It Placed.
Corned beef, roast beef and corned
beef hash are packed in two-pound
cans after they have been partly
cooked. From each consignment of
these meats several cans are taken at
random and kept until the consign
ment is consumed by the soldiers. If
there is complaint on quality of meat
these tins are opened and the fault
can be laid at the hands of the pack
ers, the commissary department, the
railroads who transport the meat or
the company cooks, as circumstances
seem to direct.
Much of the trouble which is stirred
up by the troops who feel that they
are improperly fed arises from the
lack of experience or ability of the
cook who prepares the food. The
"shoemaker cook, as the inexperi
enced men who cook for some of the
militia regiments are termed by their
wiser brethren of the regular army, is
frequently a chef from a good res
taurant who has alwavs been accus
tomed to complete equipment and is
unable to do as well with rather primi
tive utensils of the army as the man
who has simply learned by rule of
thumb and who serves a real feast
out of the army tins. 'More depends
on the camp cook than on any other
one factor in the supply system.

Complaint made last evening by a
woman resident of a family in the Q
street district between Twenty-seventh
and Thirtieth streets, it liable to
result in a general cleanup of the
neighborhood by the police. Last eve
ning the emergency crew was called
to Twenty-eighth and W .' streets,
where four men, apparently of Greek
nationality, were cursing in the streets
at women of the neighborhood and
blocking the sidewalks.,
Mrs. Pauline Yost, a resident of that
part of the city for fifteen years, in
formed the officers of the conditions
of the district "I have had to go
and meet my children at the car line
on Q street for years to protect them
from the menace of loafers who follow
people. There is hardly a time when
any of us come home from town that
we are not followed. Several times
I have been stopped.
"This evening I was walking along
the tidewalk from the store to my
home, a distance of a block. Right
in front of my home I was accosted
by these men who were cursing and
riotous. I had to push my way
through and was actually compelled
to strike one of the men in the face
to get to the front gate."
Mrs. Yost Is a stalwart woman and
succeeded only after an effort in
clearing the sidewalk. The police
chased the men away, but were unable
to recognize them.
