John J.IUKalls. J. T. Kord, Oscar Hayterand EuRene llayter were In towu today ou urgent OUMluefig. ; Cliicugrd's Hundred Years. Ono hundred years ago Mon- day Fort Deurborn, ou tne uni caRO river, was formally estab lished by Major Whistler. There is difference of opinion as to when the schooner Tracy, Piirrviiiff Maior Whistler and party, arrived at the mouth of " . . TT I the Chicago ' river, msiormus .lin'or as to when the soldiers be gan worlc on the new fart. It has been claimed that juajor vvhUtlor arrived July 3, 1S03, and landod on the 4th to select the site of the fort. Another contention is that the ;ta f tho fort was' not def- ivo v initely agreed upon until the arrival of the larger detachment f troons under Lieutenant Swearington. Rnt there is ceueral agreemeni that on the 17th of August, 1803, n-nrt on the fort was begun, and that after that date Fort Dear born represented national au thority in the district now in cluded lu tho boundaries of Chicago. Tho foundinz of Fort Dear born wag tho real beginning of Chicago. From August 17, 1803, tho mouth of the Chicago river was a point of interest to the American people. First the fort, then the village, and then the city of Chicago. This was tho order of development of the commercial metropolis of the West. It was thirty years from the building of the first Fort Dear born to the incorporated town of Chicago, with a population of 150, but those thirty years had been momentous ones for the West. It was only four years from tho incorporated town to the city, twenty three years from the city of 3,000 people to th city of 100,000, and forty-three Three trunks ami two grips were carried on top of the cab and 50 centr express charge was thereby aaved. It took 10 minutes o engage the cab, ride to- the hotel, pay the driver and dismiss tht vehicle. When the trip was completed the Rockefellers were I9G0 wealthier than when he left th depot, as the Rockefeller income is estimated to be 100 a minute, day and nigbt, year in and year out. Mr. Rockefeller arrived at Denver at 7:40 o'clock this morning. He leaves at 9:30 to-night. Duriogthe 14 hours he spent in this city it is estimated that the Rockefeller fortune increased by $50,400. Denyer has gained in wealth Bomethina like $4. This was divided in about 13 hotel bill, 40 cents for cigars. 10 cents for a shoe shine, and 50 cents e cab fare to and from the depot. He was a guest at dinne-, so that years from the city of 100,000 to did not cost anything, aod the the city of 2,000,000 inhabitants In the first fifty years town about Fort Dearborn grew to a citv of 50,000 people.

But Does It Pay After All? Joseph Ladue died the other day in New York. Ladue was the man who discovered the- Klondike. Born in New York 1S54 he went to the Black Hills at the age of 20 and began gold-hunting. Foryears he wandered about, a poor tramp nrnsneotor. alwavs hunting the r I - vpllnw metal. In.1885 he went to Alaska, wandered ever the moun tain passes for several seasons be fore he found any gold of conse quence. Finally he struck it rich, laid out Dawson City, became a millionaire and returned to New York to '-eniov" his wealth! Here four years later, died of consump tion brought ou by exposure iu the mines. Out in Colorado Springs, lives anolrer millionair.) who had much the same career as Ladue. Stratton. who discovered Cripple Creek gold field after years of tramping and prospecting, has there his home. He is worn in body, lives in a big house practically alone, is charit able on the sly and devotes a large share of his days to dodging beggars and disease. . Neither Ladue nor Stratton had a home. Neither knew the joy of family or the close ties ' which are formed around the fireside. They spent their lives in hunting gold the lowest passion in which sensible men can engage.

You admire this tower of granite, weathering the hurts of so, many ages. Yet a little waving hand built this huge wall, and that which builds is better than that which is built. The hand that builds, can tear it down faster. Better the hand, and nimbler, wasthe invisible thought which wrought through it, and thus ever behind the coarse effect, is a fine cause, which, being narrowly seen, is itself the effect of a finer cause.
