SIGHTS IN CHICAGO-

An Interesting Letter Contain-ing Information

COLUMBIA KY July 12 1903

Editor Adair County News

This is one of a series of lettersthat I wrote for the ColumbiaSpectator while iu the city ofChicago that from accident or de-

sign¬

failed to appear in the columus of that journal The man ¬

uscript was lost or destroyed andI will have to rely on my memoryto reproduce it

One of the most interestingplaces that I visited in the WindyCity was the zoological gardenzoological gardens are always interesting I saw her animalsfrom the greatest to the least Theelephant is the largest of all knownanimals in this day and time andof this specie Chicago has somevery fine specimens There is notmuch to be said about elephantsEvery body has seen them Theyare animals remarkably gentle andexceedingly intelligent

Next to the elephant in size isthe western Buffalo Here I sawsome of the largest of these largeanimals The Buffalos that wesee in circus shows are nothing incomparison with them Then we

had in this garden sacred bullssacred cows and sacred calvessome milk white and some of dif-

ferent colors Then we had lionstigers polar bears grizzly bearsblack bears wolves hyenas panthers catamounts wildcats foxescoons opossums and jackrabbits

Thou we had antilopes deer elksharts roes and all these beauti-ful animals are mentioned in theScriptures Then again couldbe seen all kinds of water animalsand water fowls Conspicuousamong these were the seahorsethe seal the beaver down to themuskraT Then we found all kindsof land fowls such as the ostrichwild turkey prairie henthenwater fowlsswans geese ducksand birds that inhabit the air likeeagles bald eagles Americaneagles and in fact every thingwas to be seen that has ever beenseen in the shape of wild animalsand tame animals I have failedto mention many that I did see

I then visited the Chicago Mus ¬eum and here I saw everythingdead that I had seen in the zoolog-

ical¬

garden living and I saw theskeletons of animals long since ex-

tinct at the head of which standsthe mastadon an animal that is asmuch above the elephant in sizeas the elephant is above the ordi¬

nary hog One can form no con ¬

ception of the gigantic size of thiswonderful animal This museumwas started by the wonderful giftto the city of one million dollarsby the merchant prince of Chica ¬

go Marshall Field The buildingcovers several acres of groundand is two stories high In it canbe found representations of everything that was ever seen upon theearth under the earth or abovethe earthfigures in wax or thestuffed skins of animals or howev ¬

er fixedup I saw realmummiesfrom Egypt wax figures of allraces of Indians from the plainsof the great west Indian womenmounted upon the stuffed skins ofdonkeys and ponies Indian chiefsin all their painted and befeathered lovliness I saw oriental warchariots with oriental stuffedhorseslike they appeared thous ¬

ands of years agowith the war ¬

riors dressed in Knights costumewith full coats of armorlIke theyappeared on the bloody battlefield in the days of chivalry Isaw the gods and godesses of SouthAmerica and New Mexico with allthe paraphanalia of idol worship

I saw polar bears among the iceand snow of the Artie regionhunting their prey in snow onefoot deep How they representedice and deep snow that remainedalways fresh and always deep Iam unable to tell There are tobe seen specimens of mineralwealth from every Stato in theunion and from every country ofthe globe consisting of gold sit¬

vor iron coal and copper Alsospecimens of timber from evercountry inhabited by man I sawidol gods made from cedar broughtfrom Ne Mexico whichwore for-ty feotihigh and two feet in diam ¬

teen by twentyfive feet laid onthe floor and made of stone EachState was represented by a rocktaken from its own territory cor-responding

LYNCH LAW FACTSBeginning in 1885 the Chicago

Tribune has kept a detailed record oflynchlaw operrtions in the UnitedStates Up to Monday last Delawarewas one of vejStates in which mobvengeance had not prevailed overordinary processes during seventeenand a half years of record Massachu¬

setts New Hampshire Rhode Islandand Utah now remain on the honor¬

able list of exemptionMob law is thus shown to be the

distinct manifestation of no sectionThe Far West has dealt out a greatdeal of it to norse and cattle thievesBut out of 2516 lynchings recorded by

the Tribune up to the end of 1900 theSouth furnished 2080 Of the victims1678 were negroes 801 were whites 21

Indians 0 Chinese and 7 MexicnasSummary death was the penalty mob

adminIstered for 114 different offences

murder and criminal assault headingthe list One man was lynched forslapping a child another for jilting a

girl Two paid the penalty for writinginsulting letters two for gamblingthree jfor being unpopular and twofor practicIngClvoodooism

In 1885 1888 and 1892 horsestealingin the Westled to a notable swellingof the lists of summary executions

Even rs late as 1901 the lynchings inthe Union were seventeen more thanthe legal executions the numbersbeing 135 and 113 respectfully

More than fifty women have beenvictims of lynching parties

The Southern States with largestnumber of recorded lynchings areMississippi Texas Louisiana Geor ¬

gia Alabama and Tennessee Indianaleads in the North with 36 mob mur¬

ders New Jersey had a lynching in1886 New York had one in 1892 andanother in 1896 Connecticut had one

in1886Any

impresion that the practice of

lynch law is dying out and that no

steps are necessary to restrain it iscorrected by the Tribune tablesThere were ninety lynchings In 1881

and 135 as stated in 1901 Betweenthese years the number shifted backand forth going as high as 235 in 1892

HANNA ON THE DRIVERS BOX

The Constitution sometime ego

warned the freshwater element in tberepublican party to keep au eye onUncle Marcus Hanna Perhaps thoydidso and have been greatly edified by

tbe swift and easy way in which hemounted once more the drivers boxof the republican tallyho and meansto manage the coming presidential campaign in his own and only familiarfashion Iris all very well that thepresident is a clever rough rider butUncle Marcus is sapient enough to see

that republican victory next year isnot to be gained thestampeding androundingup methods of the cowboy

cult He is prescient enough to know

that the road over which be has pilot ¬

ed the Republican chariot a couple of

times is very narrow and very treach ¬

erous at many points He knows thatat certain well defined points the driv ¬

er has got to go slow and mighty

keerfullTheof these things

have made him determine to take a

third term on the box and the backinghe was able to summon shows that allothers ambitious of the job have hadto go away back and sit down Thereis Wall street and the buslnes world

the trust and monopolies and the la¬

bor voteno mail desiring to be elect ¬

ed president on the republican ticketnext year could afford to ignore them

The president de facto could not com ¬

mand them and the necessity of notloosing them has caused the whole

presidential faction in the party tolay down to theufull house handaces front and kings following held by

Uncle Marcus

Hereafter it will be only the cx

tremest politeness that will recognize

President Roosevelt as being in thegame except as stakeholder He will

not write the platform name the vicepresidential runLerup or do any othersubstantive act to win the fight otherthan Boss Driver Hanna may dictatefrom time to time

It is a rather ludicrous outcome tobe sure of the advent and early ad ¬

ventures of the stenuous presidentAll those housetop proclamations of

being 111 real president and earningaJust fame by an impartial devotionto duty have gone where the wood ¬

bine twineth and the whippoor will

walls his lonesome lament It will beall Hanna from now until the ides of

November next year and the issue willbe cleanrcut four years more of

Hanna or no more Atlanta Consti¬
