CHARITY BALL IS CHICAGO SOCIETY'S
APOTHEOSIS FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON
Mrs. Potter Palmer Reigns as Queen
New Year Revelry
BY JONATHAN PALMER.
CHICAGO. Dec. 18. The charity ball
with Mrs. Potter Palmer as its
recognized queen that is the
apotheosis of society functions in Chi
cago. Like other similar grand rallying
occasions of the fashionable Bet. it is
now a thing of the past, and the benefi
ciaries are- many thousands of dollars to
the Rood for the work of the year.
Columns on columns of the newspapers
were used to exploit the ball. Poets
rushed to the fore with their best efforts.
Memories of the prand balls of the past
were invoked to throw a glamour around
that of Wednesday night. The first ball
was given in The setting was not
bo gorgeous, the costumes not so costly,
and yet it was the talk of the town for
weeks before and after.
Some idea of the magnificence of the
ball this week may be gained when it is
known that the value of the costuming:
for It was something like $2,000,000. Of this
sum the g2ms alone were worth, by rough
estimate. SI. 125,0)0. Mrs. Palmer wore
her famous rop3 of pearls, which has been
the joy and the envy of Chicago's smart
pet for years. Her outfit represented an
investment of probably $150,000. Many
others wore jewels worth a king's ransom.
Sartorial Iy the ball was what the girls
call a love of a dream. The average value
of the gowns was something like $300. The
top value was as many thousands. For
a parade of the modes It was the most
remarkable spectacle yet Peen here. There
were creations from Paris, London. New
York and Chicago. For the event a spe
cial floor was laid in the Auditorium
Theater. There the dancers moved. From
the boxes above glinted the Jewels coro
nets, brooches, huge pendants, necklaces.
Tines.
With Mrs. Palmer as leader was General
Fred D. Grant, who, as commander of the
department of the Lakes, was conceded
the honor of leading the ball. Mr. Wil
liam J. Calhoun, the new Chinese Minister,
acted as escort for Mrs. Grant. It was
his first appearance in such social promi
nence, but he was as happy in filling the
amenities as he would have been presiding
over a National convention. The top
price paid for a box ,was $2200. A half
dozen others sold for $1000 apiece.
Calhoun Talked by All.
Chicago approval of the appointment
of Mr. Calhoun as Minister to China
amounts almost to a riot of enthusiasm.
As no other man in Illinois, and possibly
In the Nation, he is persona grata with
both the "standpat" and the progressive
element. The Oregonian correspondent has
taken occasion recently to refer to Mr.
Calhoun's speech, in which he declared
no man had the right to read Senator
Cummins'out of the" party.. Speaker-Cannon
has joined with everybody else in re
fusing to take offense at that speech.
The Speaker was strong in his indorse
ment of Mr. Calhoun for the Chinese
post. Some newspapers have charged that
Mr. Cannon was taking a clever way to
"help get rid of a dangerous factor in
politics." but a fairer statement of the
case is that the Speaker has always enter
tained high regard for the ability of the
man who, as a Danville lawyer, used to
have occasion to attack him politically
In his Congressional district.
As a personality Mr. Calhoun is one of
t ho most charming of m'n. He is tall,
handsome, erect as a West Pointer and
genial as sunlight. Among his striking
trails are his gallantry in a fight, his
coolness under all circumstances, his
poise, discietion and definitenes. He has
a way of talking bluntly to the point when
occasion requires, but only when he is
sure of his ground.
It is an interesting sidelight on the
appointment that Mr. Calhoun and Jacob
M. Dickinson lived in adjoining houses
before the latter became Secretary of
War. The 'one was a Democrat and the
other a Republican, but they were fond of
each almost as brothers and often called
on each other before breakfast in very
informal dress to discuss the events of
the day. It is quite likely that Mr. Dick
inson, when asked to suggest a man for
the Chinese mission, very omickly thought
of his old neighbor and friend.
Not a great while ago there va a
plowing match in Ogle County, Illinois, in
which some of the participants were Mr.
Calhoun, Judge Grosscup, Congressman
Frank O. Lowtlen and Secretary Dickin
son. Mr. Calhoun annexed the prize, a
Utile silver plow. It bears the jocular In
scription: "Awarded to, but rot won by,
William J. Calhoun."
Annual Orgy Tiling of Past.
Pressure of public sentiment has put
the First Ward ball on the shelf, and the
aged institution which "Bath House"
Coughlin and "Hinky Dink" Kenna en
gineered yearly to lure a campaign fund
from t he underworld is a, tiling of the
past. The "concert," which took its place
this week, had its corollaries of vice, but
it was a tame affair alongside the all
night debauches of other years. Now
that the ice has been broken tle annual
nney will be still further disinfected and
denatured.
This wholesale spree, in which the den
izens of the vice districts are the guests,
began in the old days when the City
Council was fuller of "gray wolves" than
It is today. Coughlin and Kenna, who
ruled for "years and still rule the des
tinies of the ward, never failed to gather
a big political fund through the agency
of the ball. From the first there was
nothing to commend the event. It has
been a saturnalia of wine, painted women,
drunken boys and girls and the hangers
on of the worst element in Chicago. The
First Ward ball began to "ripen" about
2 o'clock in the morning. It was at its
worst around dawn. The excesses of New
Year's night in New York and Chicago,
distressing as they have been, never com
near the stage of degradation set by the
Coughlin-Kenna ball. The spectacle as
it was disclosed about 6 o'clock In the
morning is better left tintold.
Christmas Jam Is Problem.
Christmas shopping lias presented anew
and n an aggravated form the problem
of street congestion. As a prelude it
may be said Christmas promises to sur
pass that of all previous years. Foot
traffic in State street at the beginning
of this week had reached the point
usually attained only a few Qays before
the holidays. The pressure was enor
mous. Surface car traffic, teams and
carriages moved like snails through the
human maelstrom. Rxtra policemen have
been placed on guard duty at the cross
ings to expedite matters, with indifferent
success.
Chief of Police Steward has taken up
the question, and it is his opinion that
little betterment can be effected without
the hearty co-operation of the business
interests. He has called upon these to
use certain streets for teaming as much
as possible and to do much of the haul
ing at night. Unless this is done he says
he can neither guarantee safety to human
life nor facilitate traffic. All week the
State street sidewalks have been crowded
to the curbs throughout the business day.
There has even been an overflow at times
into the street a condition that is
fraught with the greatest danger to life
and limb.
New Year llevelry Abridged.
Chief Steward su s he understands that
the ordinances of Chicago are intended to
apply to New Year's eve the same as
to any other day. .Wherefore he has an
nounced that no drinks may be sold after
1 o'clock in the morning. It is a blow to
the hotel and cafe men, all of whose
tables were reserved long ago for the
rveiry of the night before the .new year
and Jewels and Gowns Cost Millions Minister Calhoun Admired by All.
Will Be Cut Short Hall of Fame Made for Tanners
begins. The chief says he has no inten
tion of driving patrons away from half
emptied champagne bottles, but that no
more drinks may be sold after 1 o'clock.
The ruling will mean an abridgement of
the "fun" of those who have made it
a custom to move from place to place In
a' sort of progressive debauch.
Hitherto one of the features of the
celebration has been this moving about
to find new scenes of revelry and to com
pare the "informalities" of one place with
those of the others visited. That cafe
is voted the greatest excess where con
ventionality is most tabooed, where every
body is everybody else's brother or sis
terand the bars of propriety are kicked
farthest aside. Chief Steward ventures
the opinion that the escapades of- New
Year's eve are not conducive to good
morals and he believes he ought to have
something to say about them, hence hia
purpose to put the "lid" on with dis
cretionary tightness.
It was estimated that the revelers a
year ago spent $500,000 on dinners and
wines. Some calculators made the figures
as high as $1,000,000. Inclusive of the bar
room trade, this estimate probably was
not extravagant. Many entertainers spent
$500. Every dining-room and cafe in the
loop district was packed. The revelry was
at Its height just at the time 12.000 good
people were singing and praying in the
Coliseum that the opening of the year
might find a new standard of public and
private morals in Chicago. Against the
12,000 petitioners for grace were 50,000
revelers, whose thoughts for the time
did not rise above the rim of the wine
class.
Farmers Have Hall of Fame.
Incidental to the cry of empire-bulldera
and political economists that it is high
time Americans were getting back to the
soil and cultivating It so as not to abuse
it, Is the establishment of a farmers hall
of fame at the University of Illinois. It
Is the first time in the history of the
country that formal recognition of this
kind has been given to the genius which
has increased the productivity of the soil
and made the gathering of harvest boun
ties easier. Four of the men whose mem
ories are to be embalmed have been
named. They are:
Cyrus Hall McCormick. inventor of the
reaper, whose centenary was observed
last February.
Professor Jonathan B. Turner, to whose
efforts primarily is due the establish
ment of an agricultural and industrial
school under the auspices of the state
government.
James N. Brown, first president of tke
Illinois State Fair, who imported fine cat
tle, horses, sheep and hogs from Great
Britain and contributed vastly to the
raising of the livestock standard in this
country.
Isaac Funk, the McLean County farmer,
who introduced the best methods of his
day into agriculture and died worth
$2,000,000.
The first portrait that of Mr. McCor
mick has just been hung with ceremo
nies that attracted statewide attention.
In addition to portraits there will be tab

Citizens of Frontier Undergo
Hardship to Cast Their Votes
British Columbia Elections Show That Backwoods Appreciates Its Fran
chise Three-Day Trip, Braving Elements, One Typical Incident.
VICTORIA, B. C. Dec. 18. It is
much to be doubted whether the
inhabitants of the cities, with all
their conveniences, realize the value of
their suffrages as do their cousins of
the back country especially those of
the raw frontier. In the towns men
get their politics with their morning
and evening papers, delivered by car
riers at their doors, to be considered
in slippered comfort. If they desire
to hear the issues of an election de
bated by the leaders of the parties,'
they have only to take a street car or
be delivered by carriage or automobile
at the hall where orators with the
symbolic pitcher and glass are most
in evidence. And when election day
comes, if they wait long enough, some
agent of the candidates is certain to
come round, with hack or motor car,
to convey the patriot to the polls.
It's vastly different in the back
woods, where pioneers are fighting
with savage nature for a first foot
hold. Cariboo the northern part a few
weeks ago was a field of demonstra
tion. An election was pending. That
much was known through a deputy
returning1 officer having received a
commission with an imposing seal and
long bit of ribbon, thereby becoming
Invested with new dignity and set for
the time being apart from and above
his fellow citizens. Also It was ac
cepted that the battle was between
Conservatism and Liberalism, for such
is the way of Canada in political mat
ters. The rival champions had been
announced by names, and a few of
the voters knew them or had heard
their names.
Pioneers Value Privilege.
But up in the Fort George country
with its handful of hardy pioneers,
daily papers are as yet dim visions of
a roseate future if all things go well.
Political spellbinders have yet to be
imported with other deferred luxuries
of so-called civilization. Taxicabs do
not flourish. Perhaps because they
have to work and wait and suffer pri
vation for their rights of citizenship,
the people of the , stern and sober
Northland set higher value upon their
franchise - rights, and an election
crystallizes epochal, serious duty in
their eyes.
How Fort George held Its first elec
tion on the historic November 25 Is
told in the last Issue of the Tribune
as only the journalistic pathfinder
could tell it. John Houston's narra
tive is something of a frontier epic of
worthy citizenship. Incidentally it is
recorded that for this first election
ever held at Fort George, there were
more voters than ballot papers which
is proof that the returning officer for
Cariboo under-estimated the devotion
of the people to their inalienable
rights, or is, as Houston asserts, "a
political Rip Van Winkle." The bal
lots and ballot boxes were packed in
from Quesnel by W. F. Cooke, who
made the trip in five days, spending:
three nights in snow camps with the
mercury coquetting with the zero
mark and the wolves flitting ghost
like in the outer line of light from
the blazing campfires.
One Plnniper" Cast.
'The , momentous day opened with
the thermometer at two below zero."
to quote John Houston's paper, "and
the deputy returning officer had to
travel half a mile from the Hudson's
Bay Company's hotel to the polling
place in South Fort George, 'without
bis breakfast, in order that there
could be no kick raised over the time
of opening the polls. They were
opened, sharp on time 'and the first
ballot dropped into the box was
marked by Ben Bodeker. who was
poll clerk. The second was that of
Hiram Carney, the deputy returning
officer. The third ballot was cast by
f
likelihood still later of statues in marble
or bronze. Indorsements of the hall of
fame have been received, from Mexico
and from the Governors f a score of
states. It is hoped the moement wiil
result In a. great dignifying of the farm
er's work, or even in establishing it ulti
mately as a profeession of science.
Mr. Funk once drove a herd of cattle
frura McLean County to Chicago. He
rorte a little dun pony. He was offered
the lot where the Palmer House now
stands In even exchange for his pony.
He declined. The lot is now worth mil
lions, but Mr. Funk never regretted that
"stuck to the soil." The black corn
growing land of Illinois gave him happi
ness. He dealt with it kindly and in
return it gave him a fame that he never
acquired as member of the State Legis
lature. J. Ham Lewis Talks War.
It behooves Portland to get ready to
be blown up by the Japanese. Colonel J.
Ham Lewis, sometime of the State of
Washington and now a luminary of the
Chicago bar, eloquently stakes his judg
ment that war between Japan and the
United States is inevitable. The little
brown men will first run over to Manila
with their battleships and say, "Tag.
you're mine.' Then they will annex Ha
waii by the big gun route and the third
prize on the itinerary will be the Pacific
Coas- and the riches theeof. To add to
the yellow peril, says the Colonel, fondly
tnreading his pink whiskers, the Chinese
will get into the fray sooner or later. He
declares their love for Americans is real
ly on a par with the Japanese affection
for- them.
Colonel Lewis returned from the Orient
only last Summer, his forehead presuma
bly bulging with state secrets, which he
hai:ded over in whispers to Secretary
Knox. He says he knows whereof he
speaks.
"The time has come," shouted Colonel
Lewis in his speech to the Bankers Club,
"when America must choose one of two
courses and act quickly, or be forced Into
action. We must either abandon the
Philippines, Hawaii and other Asiatic
lands or prepare for a war which will
rend the bonds of nations. The Japanese
hate the Americans with all the poison
ous hatred of the Oriental. They are wait
ing the time when they shay be ready to
spring. Their attack will come like a
bolt from a clear sky. It is up to us
either to give up all our political interests
in the Orient, abandon our Islands In the
Far East and devote our energies to a
commercial rivalry, or throw a naval and
military force of enormous strength into
the Pacific territory. You may talk
peace and spill the oil, but in the end
will come the conflict. The Orientals are
allowed to enter European countries and
the wits of France, Germany and Eng
land have been busy poisoning the minds
of Eastern leaders because of our em
bargo. The forceful maintenance of
peace for any length of time means an
other disaster to the United States. The
Orientals are learning what they can of
our ways of war and peace. Some day
they will use this knowledge to our cost,
and the cost will be enormous. The clash
is inevitable."
A. G. Hamilton, who has lived at Fort
George four years.
"From then until 7 o'clock, in the
evening, when the polls closed, i!3
other electors had marked ballot pa
pers intelligently, for none of the
ballots were 'spoiled,' and "only one
was a 'plumper. The 'plumper was
for John A. Fraser, and a prominent
voter remarked after the ballots -were
counted that the 'plumper' must have
been cast by an Orangeman, as Or.
Callanan, Fraser's running mate, is a
devout Catholic. As the prominent
voter who made the remark is the
only Orangeman in Fort George he
probably made a good guess.
"Only two of those counted on to vote
at Fort George failed to show up.
Men came in 20-odd miles from the
Blackwater road camp to prove that
they could not only work in knee-deep
snow, but could also endure discom
forts to perform their duties as citi
zens. Others came up from Fort
George canyon. 15 miles, breaking
their own trail through two feet of
snow. Pre-emptors trudged through
snow and over the treacherous ice, en
dangering their lives in order to show
their faith in the grand old party that
has been leaderless since the death of
that grand old leader, Sir John A.
Macdonald.

other ship as large, her sister-ship, the North Dakota. The Delaware is expected to make 21 knots She will
carry a million dollars' worth of guns. One broadside from her main battery will cost $17 000 The main
battery can throw at one firing 10,000 pounds of steel projectiles, while Dewey's entire fleet at Manila Rav
could throw only 7000. J
Boyer made an effort to cross. He
had not grone far when he realized It
was not safe, and in getting back he
broke through and got wet up to the
arm-pits. It was after sundown, the
temperature was far below zero; but
Joe kept moving and Porter had a
fire, built in a few minutes. Relief
wa brought them by Indians, who
crossed the jam farther down, and by
10 o'clock they were thawing out at
Hamilton's. Boyer Is well up in years:
has owned cattle in Arizona, mined in
Neada. and worked as a blacksmith
in Kootenay. He is a philosopher. On
election day in the Tribune office he
remarked ; N
' 'I wonder If rick McBride would
take chances on his life to vote me

A. J. Huble and Ed Seebach who
live at Giscomhe Portage, 41 miles
east of Fort George, were three days
in getting here, arriving on election
day, late In the afternoon, only to find
that the ballot papers had all been
used. Only 25 had been sent; 24 had
been used and one had been spoiled by
the deputy returning office. Natur
ally, they . kicked. Snowshoeing in
four feet of soft snow is not work

"The day was not without its amus

who couldn't vote wanted to be where
it was warm, and when they got there
insisted on discussing politics and

UNIQUE RACE IS PLANNED
Go-as-You-Please Run to Be Made
Across Dark Continent.
BERLIN, Dec. 18. (Special.) Lieu
tenant Paul GraetB, of the German
army, who crossed Africa last year In
'a motor car, has proposed a novel
project for a "go-as-you-please" race
across the Dark Continent.
Competitors are to be allowed to
choose any means or locomotion known
to man they may walk, row, sail, em
ploy an aeroplane, dirigible airship,
balloon, bicycle, motorcycle, carriage or
wagon, ride a horse, ass or zebra, and
trundle along in a jinrikisha r a native-drawn
cart. Only railway trains
are 'barred.
The start is to take place March 1,
1910, at a point on the east coast, not
lower than the 20th latitude, prefer
ably somewhere in Portuguese East
Africa, with a goal in German South
west Africa. Lieutenant Graetz thinks
the race-could be productive of both
economic and scientific results, apart
from its unique sporting aspect.
