WHY CHICAGO IS CHICAGO.
Chicago has as much personality as individual It
crops out in a new way in the refusal of the Illinois steel
workers to join the eastern strike. President Shaffer sent
e. man named Tighe to Illinois to plead with the workers
to come out. Most of the workers refused to attend the
Tighe s meeting, and those who did laughed at Ms propo
sitions and when he solemnly revoked their charters they
laughed again. Tighe departed in disgust, the workers
in grtat glee.
The cause of the curious action on the part of the
workers were that they were asked to take a subordinate
part in the struggle. No Chicago man was at the head
of the movement No Chicago man held a place of im
portance in its counsels. So Chicago would have noth
ing to do with it
Chicago never follows, if she can discover that such
danger impends. She is self-centered. The best thing
ever said about Chicago was by a New York paper. It
was that if the world should come to an end the Chicago
r-apers would publish it as local new..
Chicago has her local aristocracy. This aristocracy
is carefully protected by the Chicago newspapers. It
is not known outside of Chicago, but that does not affect
Chicago in the least The city affects to believe that its
aristocracy is widely known, and is perfectly content with
the delusion. No member of Chicago's aristocracy is
ever attacked. In New York it is different One of the
certain consequences of accumulating twenty million in
New York is continued and abusive attack upon yourself
end all members of your family, and the most painful
inquiry into all your private affairs.
Chicago has her famous lawyers and doctors. Every
body in Chicago knows their names. No one outside
Chicago does. When a professional man is famous in
New York he is famous the nation over. But that doesn't
worry Chicago. Her satisfaction comes in knowing that
the Chicago man is famous in Chicago.
Anything in a dramatic line which occurs in Chicago
is uniformly satisfactory to Chicago, merely because it
occurred in Chicago. In New York the critics, if they
are not feeling well, will take the hide off a perfomance
and performers, and wreck some manager In a night
Chicago, in other words, is still youthfully enthusias
tic about herself. She believes she Is all right and likes
to say so.
On the other hand New York is old and wicked and
critical and serene in the conviction of supremacy which,
fche doesn't care even to demonstrate.
CLicago is always demonstrating it, always watching
for f ar she might be dropped to a subordinate place. So
the stel workers at Chicago laughed Tighe out of coun
t -narr-e and town and are patted on the back by the Chi
cago newspapers.
A HIRSCH TRADE SCHOOL".
Ap a matter of course not a dollar of the immense
fund : ft by the 3ato Baron De Hirsch for the benefit of
ir.an i.. ! has ever been expended on a worthless scheme.
It w natural that a school for the tetching of English to
the L'l'ir-'n of inuiuigrant Jews in iew York should have
In "t tablished from this fund, but only a practical
j.nol .. of the industrial conditions of this country
t .ui.i : ae induced those who have charge of the fund to
1 ;n . iiii'l support a trade school for these same children.
Tht . : -t-nce of such an institution is proof enough that
tint" is a demand for competent journeymen in all the
t -ad ...
la t ently seventy-five boys were graduated from the
I)o iijr.-ch Trade school. After only five and a half
mom lis training they are competent to serve as mechanics'
L-ipcrs in plumbing, house and sign painting, electrical
Tvurk, ftc; The head of the school has announced that
some of the graduates are now earning $27 a week and
othei.- $15 and $18, while most receive $10 and $12 a week
iaimc iiat'.'.y after leaving the institution, For young
Lien v. ho aspire to become mechanical and electrical ex
perts thif training is an excellent foundation. The Ave
aud u Lilf months spent in the trade school are equal to
i..ore than two years of apprenticeship under ordinary
tircun tanr-es.
' h' late Colonel Auchmuty, the founder of the New
"iork fu.ie school, was the first to show a practical appre
ciation f the demand of this kind of training. Every
liody has recognired the importance of book learning, and
in e ij:y city ther. are thousands of men who make a
precarious living at bookkeeping and various kinds of
ilerit il work; while the trades offer steady employment
and f; c ieat promotion to efficient man at better wages
man tin-' average clerk receives. Owing to the action of
the T;u.Ie unions in limiting th number of apprentices
there is virtually no opening for boys who are eager to
learc i-iuios. Moreover, there is little incentive under
the n methods for a worker to become expert, and
Leuci it ;s highly necessary that there should be more
trade i-chools if the young men are to have a fair chance
in li.-. Of institutions for instruction in the mechanical
Lits !': ; are stveral, and they serve a useful purpose;
but t. e i ressing need is for schools where young men may
devote themselves exclusively to the learning of a trade
for l:ali a year or loss. Men of means who are seeking
wortLy causes to endow may be sure that in founding
practical trade schools they will not only serve high
mini 1 youiing who bel:ee in the dignity of labor,
but vj.i also comer a benefit on society in raising the
fctan "..nd of joun.vman efficiency.
severely injured, made to a physician under such circum
stances, would certainly be privileged. Except as a phy
sician he had no business in the hospital. He did not in
form the boy that he came as a representative of the de
fendant, and for the purpose of extracting from him an
admission which would tend to relieve the defendants
from liability. Under such circumstances I think the
boy was justified in considering a person who thus ad
dressed him as a physicia, and who answered his ques
tions freely and frankly, without considering that his an
swers would be used against him as admissions."
$
GRAPH APHONE RECORD IMPROVEMENT.
Owing to the construction and material of which the
phonograph record is made it is not practical to make them
longer than four and one-half inches, of which a consider
able portion is wasted in the announcement and a blank
space on the end. These short Tecords necessitate the
frequent changing of them, and, in consequence of the ad
ditional handling1, their earlier destruction.
John R. Hare, of Baltimore, is the inventor of a novelty
in the record line, which has just been patented, and
which bids fair to revolutionize the graphophone business.
It consists of a solid record on a wooden or metal core
placed inside a tin enameled box, in which it revolves. A
slot running along point of the reproducer with the record,
which turns inside the metal bos, that remains stationary.
By this clever device records three or four feet long are
practical, which can be made to run any length of time up
to an hour, or even longer. Whole lectures or concerts,
can be given on a single record without a break. With
the small records now in use the box covering will enable
the operator to handle them without fear of breaking or
damaging them.
The metal cases will do away with the necessity of
wrapping the records up in cotton every time they are used
and the use of long records will greatly increase the pos
sibilities of one of the most wonderful machines of modern
times. There is now practically no limit to the length
the records can be made, and the machines can be con
structed to run any legnth of time desired.

NO PIANO TRUST.
The attempt to form a trust in the piano industry has
failed and according to Music Trades, the person who
came here to promite it has left for Europe "a very dis
appointed man." It was claimed some time since that
twenty-three prominent piano houses had given options on
their plants, but these were evidently regarded as suf
ficient to dominate the industry. It was inevitable per
haps, that an attempt to corner the supply of pianos should
have failed. The people would have not consented to
anything of the kind.
Trusts may get control of everything that the people
wean everything they eat, and even the shrouds and cas
kets in which they are buried, without protest, but when
an attempt is made to syndicate the menufacture of the
tuneful and much-pounded piano, that is a different mat
ter. The people can deny themselves things to eat; they
may get along with less clothing, and they can trust to
luck to get a decent burial, but they cannot get along
without their pianos. "What is home, by the way, without
someonetb play the "Maiden's Prayer" or grind out a rag
time? Tnere is no dwelling so humble that it cannot afford
the luxury of rag-time and rag-time needs a piano to make
it go. A majority of the American people will feel like
throwing up their hats and shouting with joy at the an
nouncement that the man who came here to promote a
piano trust has "left for Europe very much disappointed."
Let it be hoped that he will not return on a similar mission
in the near future.
i
CARLYLE AND HEROES.
Following several recent reprints of Carlyle's "Hero
Worship" comes an eloquent defence of the theory by an
English reviewer:
About ehro-worship, writes Mr. G. K. Chesterton in
the London Daily News, very few critics have done the
smallest justice to Carlyle. Misled by those hasty and
choleric passages in which he sometimes expressed a
preference for mere violence, passages which were a great
deal more connected with his temperament than with his
philosophy, they have finally imbibed the notion that Car
lyle's theory of hero-worship was a theory of terrified sub
mission to stern and arrogant men. As a metter of fact
Carlyle is really inhuman about some questions, but he is
never inhuman about hero-worship. His view is not that
human nature is so vulgar and silly a thing that it must
be guided, and driven; it is, on the contrary, that human
nature is -so chivalrous and fundamentally magnanimous
a thing that even the meanest have it in them to love a
leader 'more than themselves, and to prefer loyalty to
rebellion. When he speaks of this trait in human nature
Carlyle's tone invariably softens. We feel that for the
moment he is kindled with admiration of mankind, and al
most reaches the verge of Christianity. Whatever else
was acid and captious about Carlyle's utterances, his hero
worship was not only human, it was almost optimistic.
He admired great men primarily, and perhaps correctly,
because he thought that they were more human than
other men.
C
STARTING A RACE OF GIANTS.
The other day we related how French giants are com
ing forward to claim the $25.00 marriage portion oftiered
by a deceased millionaire of Rouen, IYance, and now in
the. hands of the town council of that city. The prize is
an annual one. Several British and German competitors
have sent in their names and qualifications with an in
quiry whether they will be allowed to take part in the
contest Nothing is said in the will as to the nationality
of the competitors, but there are so many entries from
persons of French origin that it is improbable that the
prite will go to any foreign prodigy. The would-be re
generators of the race are mostly country folk, and some
of the letters sent in with particulars of the compel itors'
especial qualifications are couched in the most innocent
and straightforward language. Several of the men are
French soldiers and gendarmes, one is a non-commissioned
officer, the sen of a Fans doctor, and all claim to be over
seven feet in height, broad and robust in proportion.
None of the competitors admit to single day's illness, and
one man Liaims to be an "absolately perfect model of
manly v4g?r and physique.

A REVELATION IN A POSTER.
AJ1 London woke suddenly one morning
to a sense of beauty and of divine things.
Shoeblacks and errand boys stood agape
before the boardings, and felt within
them stirrings of ancient forgotten feel
ingsfeelings untouched since the time
when they had responded to the glory of
some primeval sunset The cabmen and
omnibus drivers caught glimpses of that
pale witchery at every corner, went
about a transfigured London, with seri
ous, joyous faces.
"The remarkable poster," said the Orb
cf Light "which has created so great
a sensation in London today, has, from a
distance, the appearance of a marble pil
aster, with poryphry-colored capital and
base. On nearer approach we find op the
capital, in artistic letters of a darker hue.
'Browning Revival.' and on the base.
'Philippe. Fetherston as the Queen ir. a
Balcony."
"The wonder of the poster lies in what
I have roughly designated as the pilas
ter. On the surface of this, rich and
smooth as marble, our famous actress is
drawn, leaning out over a goMen bal
conya dream of exquisite design the
pale red-gold hair of the actress, the blue
of her eyes, which have, the mysterious
intensity of Watts' Dweller in the Inner
most,' and some suggested mystery of
popples in the marble floor of the bal
cony; these are the only indications of
color the sky, 'intense with yon first
trembling star. And the queen that looks
out on you is not painted in color, but
in some strange medium between marble
and soul.
"The artist has given us more than an
exquisite picture; he has given us more
than a supreme allegory; he has given us
power of understanding to realize the
marvelous genius of Phillippa Fether
ston." When Phillippa Fetherston herself came
suddenly face to face with the poster, it
affected her with a shock almost of hor
ror. It was as if seme inmost self, some
far-away white thing, had been brought
into fierce day for the world to stare at.
But presently she forgot everything in
delight at the imagination of the concep
tion. A little group of children who bad stood
rpell-bound, fascinated by the length of
time that the tall, pale lady looked at the
picture, dispersed as she got into her car
riage and drcve away. She put down at
the office of the advertisement contrac
tors, rut was lnforn.ed there that no
copies of the poster were obtainable The
artist had refused to allow any to be
placed on the market though, no doubt,
the demand for them would be great, and
large prices obtainable-
"But, doubtless," said Phllippa, "he
would allcw me to have a copy; it would
b an an inspiration to me."
"Would you care to go to his work
shop?" said the clerk; "It Is not far from
here. I think it is your best chance."
"His workshop " murmured Phllippa
to herself as she drove away "Blooms
bury is t possible that the supreme art
ist is poor, unsuccessful? But if so, why
jefuse to sell cop'es to collectors? It
would be rather terrible to seo this man
who has read me through and through
like a book thi3 unknown stranger who
has had his fingers on the very pulse of
my soul "
At any rate, she must know.
Phllippa examined the board at the
door: "Fifth floor Mr. Josh Whitley."
With some trepidation she began to go up
tho stone stairs. She reached the top at
last. There was tho unpainted door with
the name, "Mr. Josh. Whitley." upon it.
She hesitated knocked. An answer came
and she went in.
She distinguished a herculean form
standing before an upright casol. Boards
stood round the unpapered walls, stacks
of paper lay on the flocr. One rickety
chair a board on trestles that was the
only furniture.
Mr. Josh Whitley was smoking a pipe.
Seeing that his visitor was a lady, he put
it Into his pocket and opened the window
at the top. Then he brought forward the
chair. Phllippa sat down. The atmos
phere gradually cleared.
He was in his shirt sleeves, and had on
a large apron, such as house painters
wear. His face was massively built, and
furrowed with lines. It was illuminated
at every corner by an extraordinary
alertness. She did not find anything to
cay; but she was glad that she had come.
He stood looking at her. Neither of
them felt any constraint The great pos
ter that made the link between them
was pinned on ,the wall facing her. Pres
ently her eyes turned in its direction,
and he spoke:
"You have coma to see about this?"
She nodded "How did you know?" she
asked slowly.
"Know what?"
"All th6t you have made that poster
say."
"I have studied you closely," he re
plied, 'for years "
You have seen me on the stage, you
have seen me acting," she faltered: "but
). re you have painted my real self, not
my actress-self."
"I divined it" he said, "from tho first
