WHICH WILL IT IE? The question of erecting a city build tag was discussed anew yesterday, on the ocasion of Mr. Carr's presenting to the combined committees of the City Council and the Chamber of Commerce. the plans he had drawn for the building and his estimates on the cost. Two plan. were presented - oneof a building 30x104 with the second floor devoted to the pur pose of an auditorium, another of a ,1uilding 50x50.two stories h igh.arranged for city purposes only. aMr. Carr esti mated the cost of the- first named at $14,3K0 and of the other at 87.1i0. In neither case does the estiniate include a heating plant whichl wioul probably cost $2.000 more. It is proper to state that Mr. Carr does coft claim special ac curacy for his figures. as he is not ac quainted with the cost of building here and presents the estimates as approxi mate'and merel ias a guide to the city council. The p ans though only rough sketches are ve -y satisfactory and show at a glance tha , Mr. Carr understands his business.. nd that, particularly in turnhg every available foot of space to account, and of presenting a very de sirable interior arrangement. We will .not attempt a detailed description of either, as they can be seen at the Jora anL office today and speak for them selves much more intelligibly than the types can for them. Now that this information has been furnished, the all absorbing question is, what shall be done? The friends of the plan contemplating an auditorium. while they will feel encouraged and en thused at the cosy and complete ar rangement of the upper story of the lar ger building for entertainmeunt purposes, -must question the propriety of adding $7,000 or $8.000 to the expense of it building for this purllpose ,c l:y. while tlhe. opposition have a strIneiL' caIrd in the plan of the smaller buIilillng. which pro vides unlplly for the cit "s needs for years Itoomne and which equipliped with a beating plant will notet cost lmniteas mell-h as was recotmnien--lei fr e.xi"endituire by the Chamber of Commlerce. lHwever ardent a large nmajrity of the people -may le for a hall for public entertain ments, it is well to qluestion the peolicyof rushing headlomg into acell eXlenditure of perhaps 0..lultti for this plurlrsse alone. Still there are reasmalale arg-uinentsa that can ite Inmle in faivr of sei doing. Assuming that the smaller building, equipped with a h,-atin. pliant will cost 10,000 and the larger eei- r'1 7..,.0. the- in creased cost on al'cc:unlit of ithe auditor ium is ".f(ff. which til i itlim-se an ad ditional interest 'har-ie of 'it it1. a yt.ar Against this it is ,estimated that the hall can ht reiate-I fi.r el:i a t -.:icr I, a ing lit 1 $180 of auhlttionlgt y t a>1til1 t,, ,e I l,-. in return for whlie-h ic,. hoii tL r., rit, :lilent afforded by a first -cliss iplI-, for pubi- ic, eentertainnllnts of all kilnds. .\ small price truly for such enhancel, I.nefits But the larger tax pa.tirs on whoum thet principal sirti,,n of the tax falls, many f logically say. why incur an in-creased ex pense of s44Ita ylear for providing lsole.- a thing which hlearly belonitrs to private enterprise tf" provide. A.\nd her is the rub.

(One y solution of the vexed Iqulstion. and to tl oar mind. the most satisfa;try one is u for the moneyed nmen to co',nlc forward and subscrilb, to thie x- te.:t r -f r:3.Sio0 or K4000 for the eircl-!ion of a fra lle ,operat house. .1 builling illi iuim,r --I od- Ic ious and heiter lchl,.,I to sucmh ait pur pose than the hall in thee ity tiuilding. man be put up for this a:ln, :llt anti lhould pay a fair interest oli tfeit invest eent.

A meeting of the C'hamnber of -ommerce should be eallet-l at once to T iasider this question,. and we trust it rill be. As sTa time draws near for the big Lo at Chcagoto opeh., it leaks out that a systemetic and cumprehenive ashame to rob the visitors has evolved. The geaeral understanding is that fifty its is the price of admission to the gU.ands. This is technically true. but Stechnically so.

A new spratr that has made the e subject ia study. estimates that it will cost not less than 814.50 per head, to make the round of the midway plaisance exhibit. When this highway robbery is considered in connection with the extortionate rates of hotels and restaurants, the man with a a family may well stand aghast. HE LOST hti oaMER. The Little Mlan lWho Tarkled a Bansas Peel t'lend. Justice of the poetic variety overtook a banana peel fiend on lower Broadway yesterday atternoon. He was a puffy, red faced, bloated looking man, with bleary eyes, a pink necktie and other evidences of total depravity. The bananas which furnished him with ammunition he had purchased of a perambulating peddler at the corner of Park place and Broadway at about 4 o'clock. Munching them one by one he walked along by City Hall park and scattered destruction as he went. Just behind him walked a nervous looking little man whose black hat and i white choker indicated that he was a clergyman, an indication which was borne out by subsequent events. Pros ently the little man stepped on one of the fiend's tulana peels. His feet soared heavenward. and he lnuded with a force that fairly shord' the ground. With an j air of t'hri'tin resignation he arose and c made a fe bli endeavor to remove some i of the mud which he had collected in his e fall. Then lie proceedeld, with the ex Ir.,iion of 'ie who would rub himself e if there weren't a crowd around. He v had walked but, a few rods when another n banana peel loomed before him. The o little man picked it up gingerly and b looked about him. Just then the fiend in front dropped a third peel. Without ia a moment's hesitation the m ..ister hur- d ried forward until he caught up with him. Holding up the deadly skin before a him he said in a carefully modulated tone: "I believe you dropped something, sir." ' "Hnumph," replied the fiend, "from the p way you look you dropped something b too." The little man's face fairly bristled , with violently repressed profanity. V "Look you, sir," he cried. "I am a it minister of the gospel, sir: a clergyman, w sir, and I don't want to say anything nn- a befitting one of my cloth. sir. But 1 si want to a:,k . .ir. what iii darnation e: you lmeal by tlhr, wing your confounded ai banana pells under lmy feet, sir." He w waved the aforesaid pel violently about w his head Ss ho :'pokel. s The red feued rniin glanced contemp- al tuounly over the lmniunter's slight figure. b; "V. t you thil to do about it?" ho. sa cred. "'P'raps you'd take a contract tto to do mle ulI." to Lhv this time a few people had gathered th about. and the little man noting this b~ lowered his voice, but there was an omi- at nously set expression about his face as he he said, "I want you to make an apol- wa ogy. here and now." al "Apology be d --d," was the reply. pe "Well, sir, I will not strike you," said ju the clergyman,. his voice unsteady with ca anger. "because I do"- se "Because you ain't man enough," cil sneered the bigger man. "Because you ne don't-Spt-t-t. Phe-e-e-e-w. Pr-r-r-r-t be Pht'" of With a rapid movement the little man an had jammed the hlanna plee into, the big Ti man's mouth and rubbed it vigorously in, ia "How do you like that?" he inquired, a with evident and unministerial satisfac- be tion in the lrrfornance. The only aun- do swer was a vicious lunge, which the lit- TI tle man dodged. Then and the.re hiscon- the ecilntios scrupJ:s vanished, and he fol struck oult witil the vjtor and accu.cv v of a chalmpion. The blow took the ba- I tal nana leel fiend nnmter the chin, and over pri he went as the minister had gone over a to few mtunlnts before. There was no for more fight left in him, and when he of arose it was only to slink around a cor- kec ner. tle The crowd. which was e.t I fr~"a en, noe The crowd, which wa.s not large, for the whole affair had taken less than a minute, expressed emphatic approval of the clergyman's perfr rnmince. lIe looked rather s'harnefaced. -however, as he pro ceeded '~p B3roadway.

'n There is no immediate danger of my in filling a millionaire's grave, and yet of stranger things have happened. Either a you or I may fall heir to a colossal for tune. I don't lose sleep over the pros pect myself, nor need you, my dear, but in this world of ups and downs who can tell what a day may bring forth? a Shall I tell you a few of the things I propose' ) do with my possible millions? SIn the trst place, I shall build bath 7 houses and stock them with soap, per , fumes and towels for humanity at large. T Next to saving the soul comes the care n of the Luy, and most people are fully I us heedless of :.e one as the other. In a deed to my manner of thinking a sancti g fed soul in an unwholesome body would d be hardly worth the keeping. g I declare unto you, and if I do not 7 speak the truth come forth and dispute n me, ye who can, that the masses of man kind know less about cleanliness than G animals do. Watch the old cat sitting I in the sun or by the corner of the kitchen a fire washing her face and cleaning her a paws. She enters into the thing with a complete understanding that cleanliness f makes her a more welcolne fireside conm 1 panion, as well as a healthier cat and a e more self respecting member of society. a A bird delights in its morning bath more 1 ostentatiously than in its breakfast. I e have seen horses at the seashore who rev s eled in a "dip' far more than any human - ever did. A dog will not enter your pres f ence if ther"' is any soil upon his person which his own limited ingenuity can re r move, and the most heatific experience of a pampered IKlxKle is its perfumed I bath and careful shampoo. I Now, take the case of humans. There t is not a day of my life that business dealings do not force me into companion I ship with people who are both unwhole some and repulsive by reason of lack or Sersonal cleanliness. I ride with them. Iwalk by their side, I sit next them. They dress well, their clothes are of ex pensive material and carefully made, but they bear about with them an aroma of stale cuticle and closed pores. From week's end to week's end these men and women do no more than dip their hands in a little water and rub off their faces with inadequate wash cloths. If the natural smoke of Ch'icago settles upon such portions of their anatomy as are explosed, they dab it off with hard wait-r and chenp soap, or they counteract it with filthy lpowder rags. They go for weeks at a time without a ch;:nge of un derwear to save laundry bill., and they slet p in the same fiaunels that they wear by day. ."t i .A goa,, fihorough b."th is as unknown Let to then as Godl's grace to a lost soul. and for my part I would rather encounter a el thug with a club. You can dodge a club, lis but you can c escape an odor. Ride for ai- an hour in one of our cars, either cable, as horse or steam; could anything be worse, a- without it was a stock transit? And yet all these unwashed and unwholesome people pride themselves, and often most i1 justly, of being good citizens, well edu th cated and circumspect. They would re sent the ide:" of being classed outside the I,' circle of "'gentlemen and ladies." They )u never sneeze in your presence without t begging pardon, nor commit any breach of the proprieties without the keenest in anguish of remorse for the misdeed. ig Their crime against society, then, is not n. an active one. It is merely the result of d, a neglected education. Their Barents I c- believed in making them ol.,licnt, no a- doubt, and polite and well behaved. t. They hadl them taugh:t to dance and play' a- the piano and pi: I:t Friench, but they e forgot to teach thent cleanliness. y The pIor and unc.:red for weexpect to j. take as we find them, and by means of r prayer, faith and good works raise them a to higher levels. But what shall bedone 0 for the folks who ought to know enough te of the laws of hygiene and beauty to r- keep clean, but who in fact know as lit tle as the totally ignorant and the very I ,r poor? When I get my millions, then I a shall erect I.0ft bathhouses right here in 1 if Chicago, an, s hall legislate laws that d shall make cleanliness compulsory. a Women shall find it more profitable to go to the bathhouse than to the club, and men shall ind more attraction in the physical laundry than in the saloon. There shall be no possible entree for the 1 careless keeper of the beautiful body into s either saloon. street car or public as.em blage of any sort. He shall be shunned a r like a leper. ,nd when his ca.se is pro. d nounced hois-less there shall be a ir:odl en Molckai fitted up for his habitation, c that he may troubl. the olfactorie-s of the a sons and daughters .f' earth no more for- d ever. a Anotl.er thing that I shall do with my p morn y will be to pro'ecnti. cruel teami- r strs I:by i nus of its iowerful pte-nry.

Thus spoke a picture iuctioni e? to an artist who was meditating an ex . hibition to be followed by a :lle of the er pictures. The two events followedl ont 3 another, and the prophet's words did not come quite true. At the sale there was at a notable absence of the artist's friends n Of the host of them only two or three who were not among the rich ones iI either came or bought anything. The is? others stayed away, saying afterward ,h. that they did not feel well or that they saw that the artist got good notices and was bound to do well-as he did. in spite re of them. ly There is nothing extraordinary about n. this situation. The probability is that ti- the personal riends of the artists know Id them too well and like them too much to be certain that their judgment is fair ot and reliable when they come to exercise t it in determining the market value of a. their work.

My. work with this corn plant was, dIcid edly interesting. I secured a small glass syringe with a very fine point to it. After the corn was two weeks old and only a few inches tall I began to inject the unfer . ented juice of crushed apples. My first injection was not quite a drop. Three a days later I repeated thedose, increasing a it slightly. In a little while the injection was a daily occurrence and the dose in s creased proportionately. The cornstalk s waxed fat and tall. All along it gave e promise of great size and large fruit. "lts height in July was fully 16 inches 1 above the tallest stalk in the field.
