time today, the official opening of
this second highway over the East

LYONS LINGERS.
Mike Lyons' 'restaurant on the
Bowery has today opened its doors
once more and restored to that his
toric old thoroughfare the most shin
ing landmark of its younger days. A
year ago the proprietor of this East
Side Delmonico's suffered it to be
locked up for the first time in almost
forty years and sadly set at sea the
"high guys" of police and political
circles who had made its festive board
their nightly headquarters ever since
the key was first thrown away. Now
the way Imi at last been made straight
for reviving the splendors of this
luxurious Bowery refectory and Its
blazing lights and open doors are at
tracting some of the old crowd of
by-gone days.? But the Bowery is sad
ly civilized and changed these days
and thus far the old pride of
the row has lacked much of its for
mer patronage. Roosevelt, Croker
and almost every political and police
power of younger New York once
sat In conclave over Lyons' cloth j
but to-night the, place is only a name
to many of the frequenters.
' SHININO STATESMAN.
Dimming the radiance of the Great
White Way, "Hinlcy Dink" Kenna,
the pride of Chicago's stock yards
is to-day giving the people of this
town a treat with the lustre of his
jewelry and sartorial, appointments.
Set in the lavender, pink and plaid of
the fine linen and fabric of his start
ing costumes, the Windy City states
man is this year carrying more shiny
stones than outfit may a jeweler's
window. Altogether the approach of
"Hinky Dink", Is as Impressive as a
three-alarm fire run and his presence
is lining up the crowd three-deep
along his route on Broadway. The
ward boss of Chicago has tried to tell
what Illinois would do for Bryan; but
has as yet found that his clothes spoke
much louder than his words.

A Traveling Man's Experience.
"I must tell you my experience on
an east bound O. R. & N. R. R. traia
from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore;,"
rites Sam A. Garber, a" well known
traveling man. "I was in the smok

into the coach and came ' back and
aid, 'There is a woman sick untc
death in the car.' 1 at once got up
and went out, found her very ill with

rawn up so you could not straight

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (1 ;
never travel without it), ran to the
water-tank, put a double dose of the
medicine in the glass, poured some,
water into it and stirred it with a
pencil; then I had quite a time to get
the ladies to let me give it to her, but
I succeeded. I could at once, see the
effect and I worked with her, rubbing
her hands, and in 20"minutes I gave
her another dose. - By this time we
were almost into Le Grande, where
was to leave the train. I gave the
bottle to the husband to be used in
case another dose should be needed,
but by the time the train ran into Le
