87 THE "CITY IN BRIEF. Lincoln Park Animal Keeper Chats About His Pets. THEY ARE NOT STARVED Twentr-Eieat Families Made Homeless by a Fire. Stranr Polie Detail to Guard St Hed- wig's Church Today Minor Mention. Cyras De Vry, the head keeper of the animals in Lincoln Park, was qmte indlj--nant in his expressions yesterday concerning1 the reports that have been published during the week to the effect that the animals under his charge were poorly cared for and did not receive sufficient food.

Said Mr. De Try: "Although this has been the most severe winter on animals that I ever experienced. thev are in anleadid condition. Some of them are too fat. We cannot keep the cages and dens as clean as during mild weather, but we aim to bed all with new straw and give them a warm, cozy place in which to sleep.

The commissioners pur chase the very best food on the market. Toe prairie bay is choice. Our meat is much better Thsn many families place upon their tables. We feed the birds raisin bread, something I cannot afford at home. Of course we have some animals die on our hands In such a Urge collection, but -it is due to no lack of care.

"Certain species of animals never become acclimated to Lincoln Park. We have a Rocky Mountain goat that is a dilapidated-looking fellow, although he has received the best attention. His companion, the ibex. Is especially thrifty. Moose and Bockv Mountain goats soon die on our hands." Keeper.

De Vry escorted a reporter for The Inter Ocean through the animal sec tion of the park. With few exceptions Mr. De Vrv's pels appear to be in excellent condition. "We have a new family." remarked the keeper, as ne pushed toe snow away from the door of the wolf cage. With that he pointed to the black she wolf with her lit ter of young, having midnight hair.

The mother is a hybrid, "part wolf and part shepherd dog. "She gets fearfnllv ferocious when she has a family to look after," added tne keeper. "It is a rare thing to see baby wolves at this season of the year. "All these animals are very dear to me, even old Jack, the brown bear, who has the distinction of having killed a man. He is an old-timer in the park, having lived here eighteen years.

Jack is becoming feeble, but he Is 25 years of age, and that accounts for it. He never enters his den at night without carefully closing the door, which is kept open during the day by a chain. "There is not an animal that does not recognize me, and many of them can select me from a crowd of a thousand. Take, for instance, the lions; they are my favorites. As soon as I enter the room tbey know my footsteps.

Those beasts have a large amount of instinct The lioness, Jennie, will never touch a mouthful of food if the lions are fed together. In consequence of this I separate the four, Jennie, Major, Topsy, and Leo, when I feed them. Jennie watches carefully and If they are not eating from tbelr individual plates she hnr-ri- back to ber shelf, lavs there and whines piteously. "I am on speaking terras with all the animals save Mrs. and Miss Snyder, the tigresses.

These people are fastidious and supercilious. I cannot get within ten feet of the cage but tbey snarl and growl. They-4 get blood In their eyes when they see me approaching, and stir up tbelr lighting qualities. I cannot account for this virulent detestation they evince toward me. Tbey seem to be at peace with the worid and their neighbors when I am far, far away.

"Just notice those alligators and water turtles; they do not eat any food from October to May. Perhaps that accounts for the report that our animals are in a state of atrophy. One might think tbey were dead, for they remain in one position, listless and indifferent, all winter unless they arc stirred up. The South American land turtles are very scrupulous gourmets. They require the very choicest fruits and vegetables of a quality suited to their tastes." Visitors that frequent the animal house at the park seldom notice the raccoon that quietly slumbers all day long on a ledge fastened to a branch of the tree in the monkey cage.

He seldom condescends to exhibit himself until nightfall. The reason for this Idiosyncrasy Is his dislike for the inmates of his home. There were a number of family jars in the household until be esme oown flat-footed on the "monks" and read the riot act to the head of the family. They dare not disturb the visions of the black-and-gray-tailed carnivore, or he blinks his snapping eyes in defiance which means something worse than a family quarrel Yesterday a gray "monk," a little fellow, who has not seen much of the wide, wide world, slipped away from his mamma, who was combing the hair of the paterfamilias. The young hopeful carefully climbed the tree until he reached the sleeping raccoon.

With a smile like that which plays over a boy's countenance when he pulls on his first pair of red-topped boots the youngster Jerked the nocturnal wanderer's tail. This roused his ire, and instantly his native pugnacity was red hot. He was on the point of administering corporal punishment to the stripling whom he was consigning to eocoanut groves i when an attendant appeared on the scene. The runaway "monk" scampered about looking up at the "coon' with all the satisfaction of a hero, while the "coon" emitted fiery sparks from his eyes at his tormentor, but after a time went to sleep again for the night. DRIVE OUT BY FLAMES.

0 Waters Twenty-Eight Families la the Flats Are Homeless. Twenty-eight families were rendered homeless by fire la the Waters flats, No's. 661-607 La Salle avenue, yesterday after-boon. Rooms la the houses were rented to lodgers, so that ia all nearly 200 persons were driven out by the flames. George Woelfing, No.

27 Eugenie street, a fireman belonging to Hook and Ladder Company No. 10, was Injured, It is thought fatally, by a chimney falling upon him while be was fighting the flames from the roof of the rear building. His right foot was crushed, and hi side was gashed under the left arm. He was also seriously Injured internally. It was said at the Alex Ian Brothers' Hospital, where he was taken, that hi ease was considered critical.

The flats were shaped, with a narrow frontage on La Salle avenue. The slruc-- tare were, old wooden frame bouses, veneered with cement. They were four Stories high, but having a French roof each front building was formed into five flat. The rear structure contained eighteen families. Aa alarm was sent In at noon, followed by a second and third for re-eaforce-taeats.

The fir was a hard on to encounter, as the buildings burned like tinder, aad the fire had gained headway before the first engine arrived. The high wind fanned the fire, giving the flame a fresh start ia different directions. It seemed at first a if the conflagration might became a general one for that portion of town. The sudden outbreak of the fire aad It vapidity ia spreading caused the greatest consternation among- the occupants, most of whom were women. They seemed an-willing to abandon their even ia the face of the fierce The rear addition was completely 'rutted aad the content of all its flat destroyed.

It was ascertained that many working women had their earnings hidden away is chests, drawers, all of which became food for the fire. The roof oMhe rear portion fell at one time, several firemen nar rowly escaping the debris. It was about clock when the eblmney toppled: over which cauarht Fireman WoelBnr. Mrs. Bnfns Chapln, who was ill la bed ia the first fiat and Mrs.

8 livers tela in the second, were carried out of the blazing building to the home of a neighbor. The occupants suffered keenly from the expos ure, as aid also tne nremen. wno were en cased each in a mall of lee. The fire originated in a rarbare and ash chute la the rear, the series of flat facing the alley being nearest to the chute, were the most damaged. The front flat were delayed with water.

It is impossible to estimate the loss, as each family' household rood were valned at from 300 to 13,000. Most of the house holders were not insured. The bulldinrs were owned by a Southern syndicate whose agents are Rose (julnlaa. They were valued at (35,000. Among the families occupying the flats were: P.

Resolutions Passed by the Local the Proposed New Game Law. The Produce Exchange has adopted the following resolutions on the question of the game law which is now being considered by the Legislature, known as the "Blow bllL" Robert M. Littler, sec retary of the Produce Exchange, furnishes a copy of these resolutions, with the state ment that they embody the sentiment oi the produce dealers on the game law question, as evidenced by the fact that the reso lutions were unanimously adopted at recent meeting of the association. The po sition taken by the members of the Prod' ace Exchange is as follows: That the Produce Exchange of the city of Chicago hereby pledges its membership in every way Id favor of the protection of Illi nois rime, and that no matter how stringent the laws for such protection mav be tbey win do all In their power to aid in the enforcement of such law. MtolrL That it is the claim of this exchange that when a sportsman or hunter has -killed game it becomes an article of commerce, and the right to dispose ot sucb article should be unre stricted; that If the killing is stopped the selling will also stop, and the enactment and en forcement of laws regulating the killing and prescribing proper limits for such killing will effectually preserve the game, but that there should be no restrictions placed on the selling of game legally killed, and this exchange denies the right of any association to say who shall or shall not sell the game when killed.

Heottu. Toe Produce Exchange of the city of Chicago claim It is entirely beyond the province or me Dporumtn Association, or any otner association, to say when game produced outside of the State of Illinois shall or shall not be sold. but that that power is lodsred entirely In the bands of the Lecislatnre of the Stale of Illinois. and that any laws passed should be for the fost ering of the business Interests of the State. Ketoirtrt.

That in the judgment of this ex change the turning of the Stale of Illinois Into one great game preserve for the recreation and sport or those who can take a summer vaca tion and at tba expense of the farmer should be sufficient without attempting by repressive legislation to drive the remnant of the game trade at present remaining to eastern cities KfOitm, mat this exchange earnestly request the passage of the bill now before the Legis lature known as the game warden bill. 117 Senate, and 22t House.

The solicitors for right of way for the Union elevated loop continue to meet with good success, says the economist ot They have 'gained several hundred feet on Wabash avenue this week. Tbey are very reticent as to the names of the people tbey have secured, but It is known that some important members of the Pro tective Association have come over-to their side. The plans have not been materially changed of late, but there has been more talk than heretofore about running the line directly through Van Buren street to Wa bash avenue, it is not believed, However, that Mr. Leiter will consent to this. Some work is still being done on Clark street by the solicitors, but it is mainly with reference to the stretch from Van Buren to Harrison street.

Fifth avenue is still preferred as tbe western side of the loop, but not much work is being; done In that quarter, as Wabash avenue Is considered the important thing for the present" "In our last issue we spoke of tbe new electric road," says the Xorth Short Xew. "This road has been planned for some time. Its projectors arkedMor a franchise permitting them to have a road running from Highwood to the Sheridan depot, but tbe commissioners would not grant it because it was thought the road should begin at least in Highland Park. Now the Inter-Urban Electric Company has asked for a franchise extending from tbe county line south of tbe park to north of Sheridan, This the Lake County Commissioners have under consideration." 8T.

Tbe Building Will Be warded Today by a strong Force of Police. The trouble among the parishioners of St Hed wig's Church, that resulted in a riot on Friday, has reached tbe City Hall, and tbe officials there were yesterday afternoon asked to protect the property of the church from further violence at tbe hands of the enraged parishioners. Yesterday afternoon Superintendent Brennan, of tbe police department, was visited by Rev. Father Vincent Barzyaski, Attorney Max A. Dreznial, and Constable I.

J. Komorowski, who said tbey came to ask protection from the elty. They stated that they expected trouble at the church today, and exhibited to Superintendent Brennan a note from Archbishop Feehan to the effect that he had ordered the church-closed, and directed that on atfvl count of the trouble In tbe congregation no religious services be held ia the church for the present. Superintendent Brennan went to Corporation Counsel Palmer for advice before taking any action In the premises. Tbe corporation eounsel had tbe record of the property looked a in (he reorder' office and found that it Is In the name of the Catholic Archbishop of Chicago, and he decided that since the law provide that one has a right to dose hi property and forbid tbe entrance of any person tbe city authorities have a right, aad it is their duty, to prevent the entrance of any unauthorized person or persons.

Superintendent Brennan was so informed, and be thereupon assured the representatives of the congregation that be would have a force on hand sufficient to quell any disturbance and to prevent tbe entrance of any one to tbe church.

TO FIX A FAIR TALC AM OK. Civic Federation Seetloa mm xUveaa Bold a Meeting. The Civic Federation section on revenue held a'meettng at the Grand Pacific yesterday afternoon aad spent two hour discussing measure pending before the State Legislature. Judge Hurd, chairman of the special committee on revenue, reported con cerning the work that had been done la she preparation of a bill looking to the Im provement in tbe law governing the duties of the assessors.

Irregularities la the val uation made by the assessors, he said, result from two faults la the existing-law. i In the first place, Judge Hurd said, the standard of valuation fixed by law, namely, a "fair cash value," is not and cannot be lived up to without ruination to the property-owners. No assessor can undertake to assess up to that value and no Legislature has dared to make him to do so. And so long, the Judge' committee thought, as the constitution and statutory limitation upon the power to incur municipal Indebtedness and levy taxes remain as tbey are this will continue to be the ease. In addition, the law does not give either tbe time or tbe opportunity to prop erty-owners to have their assess ments fairly adjusted and equalised.

It was admitted that the "fair cash value" would be tbe best standard of -valuation. and could be lived up to if the constitu tional and statutory limitations on incur ring indebtedness and taxation were low enough. The committee thought it would oe mucn easier to secure from the Legislature and enforce in practice tbe adoption as the standard of assessment, the propor tion of the actual value that may be found lo oe the average or tbe present assessment. The bllL drafted by the committee, look ing to the remedying of these defects, is also explicit in providing that tne valuation required in the law shall be considered the measure of tbe equality contemplated la tbe constitution. Furthermore, It pro vides that a new assessment of real prop erty need not be made oftener than once in three or five years.

Tbe report of the committee was adopted and it was recommended that the bill be Introduced at once before the Legislature. The committee on civil service reform reported on the bill it has been considering and similar disposition was made of it. At the Great Northern, yesterday afternoon, tbe Twenty-Seventh Ward section of tbe Civic Federation was organized, li. A. Nowten presided.

COMMITTER WAS PLACATED. Trade and Labor Assembly Satisfied with Street Car Mall ber-tce. The committee of tbe Trade and Labor Assembly appointed last Sunday to wait upon Postmaster Heslng, and protest against the placing of mall ears and letter boxes on tbe Yerkes cable lines, made their call vesterdav afternoon. The committee was composed of Richard Powers, of the Seamen's Union John C. Harding, of the Typographical Union: ex- Representative O'Connor, of the Mu sicians' Union; Downey, of tbe machinists, and Grady, of tbe bricklayer.

The members of the committee and the Postmaster met in the most cordial man ner. Mr. Powers, as spokesman for tbe delegation, asked the postmaster if tbe placing or mau cars on tne eanie line ana the letter boxes on tbe cars was not intended and suggested by Mr. Yerkes to in voke tbe aid of the Federal government in tbe event or a strike or tne employes or tbe cable lines. The postmaster said it was not so far a he waa Mr.

Heslng said that there was nothing in his career a postmaster or citizen that could be construed as being against the interests of tbe ware-earners. The object of the introduction of the postal ears on tbe cable lines was not to assist Mr. Yerkes to secure government Intervention to pro tect himself in the reduction of the wages of the employes of the roads. There was nothing to indicate that Mr. yerkes bad any sucj Intention, and II he bad the postmaster assuredly would not assist blm In that direction.

"None of yon men would go around Chicago wearing an Iron hat in order to protect your head from a falling brick from some building," id tbe postmaster. "You will wear a silk tile and run tbe risk of being hit by the brick, and so In this ease we should not be looking out for a strike. There is no organization among the employes of the cable lines and no intimation of a reduction of wages, and hence no trouble to avert." The members of the committee chatted oleasantlv with the postmaster. agreeing that there was no real danger In tbe near future. BRIEF MENTION.
