"Sir! I began life on so cents and
am now worth $4,000, and no man

grew red in the face and said he had
to see man, the third turned shade
paler, made a CHASTITY attempt to
laugh, and dropped a cent on the
walk and got away while the tramp
was hunting for it.

For two or three years past the Arc

For two or three years past the Arc
tic Exploration Association of Boston,
Massachusetts, has been considering
the feasibility of equipping an aerial
expedition to the North Pole. This
Association is made up of the most
advanced scientists of New England.
A committee from this body Of learn
ed men, consisting of Prof Frederick
Gherke, of Williams College. Con-
nccticut, Col Arthur Winslow, a
prominent civil engineer of Boston,
and Prof. w. Marston Merriweather,
Of Yale College, recently arrived in
Denver, and took rooms at the Wind
sor. A reporter of the News inter-
viewed Professor Gherke, who stated
that the object of the visit was for
the purpose of perfecting plans for
starting the proposed balloon expedi-
ton from Pixies or Gray's Peak.
The distinguished party have not
yet finally decided to start the aerial
machine from Colorado, but are now
on the way to Gray's Peak, where
they will begin series of expert
ments with toy balloons, provided the
snow is not too deep. If the expert
ments verify scientific theories, in al
probability the expedition will pull
out from Colorado.

HE ketchum Keystone says at
io:oo on the morning of Jan. 3oth.
the roof and second story of Metro
politan Hall, Jas. Fitzsimmons, pro.
prletor, was crushed to the floor with
ruinous results, from the weight Of
snow on the roof. Loss probably
5o.ooo. The first floor, containing all
the valuable furniture of the estab.
llshment, was not damaged to any ex-
tent, except the ceiling, which was
considerably demoralized. The cause
OF the disaster is attributed to the
tact that the snow slid from one side
OF the roof, when the weight OF the
other, being very great and unbal-
anced caused the entire roof and up
per portion of the building to give
way. The only person seriously hurt
was Mr.. Ram, employed in sweeping
snow from the porch on main street.
The gable end Of the falling building
struck him. No fatal injuries received
ALL the gold found at Occur d'Alene
is coarse and unworn, with few par
tlcles of quartz attached, and seem
lngly but little washed. Most
.of it has been found in crevices and
between the layers of the rim of the
bedrock, known as rim-rock. The
bedrock is the hardest kind, common
ly known as a kind of slate. It is
very rough, full of seams-in layers
of an angle of about As degrees. Al
the middle of the creeks it is from
one to five feet to bedrock.

10 the press Of the country aud Of the world,

ture Of vast sum of money in excess Of the
amount available, aud the management feels
called upon 70 make this explanation to the

the world in the ordinary way Of advertising.
Toe extraordinary and most generous
spirit shown oy tie press everywhere, In
furthenng the exposition, and In order to
make IL worlds fair in the brosdest sense
of the term, is most graft
flying, aud the director general takes
this occasion to return bis grateful thanks
therefor. Two suits Of rooms and six apart
ments have been set aside in the main
building for the exclusive use Of the press
as reception rooms. For library and head
quarters, space has been designated adjoin

Trying to ExPeI Peter McGeoch.
Especial Telegram to the Glooe.l

CHICAGO, Dec. lO.-Late this afternoon
the board of trade directory continued its
examination Of evidence offered on a motion
made yesterday TO expel Peter McGeoch, OF
Milwaukee, from the organization. The
directory expects to arrive at a conclusion
in the matter before it adiourns. The cause
Of action is dissatisfaction Of some members
Of the board with Mr.. Geoch's defense in the
Wells-McGeoch suit. BE is said TO have tes-
tilted that the deals in question on the board
were gambling contracts, an expression 70
which the compliments took exception. Il
is thought doubtful that the directory will
cause the expulsion Of Mr.. McGeogh, but
more probable that be viii be suspended.

The St. Paul and Wisconsin Central
Special TELEGRAM 70 the Gl0be.l

Special Telegram 10 the Globe
MILWAUKEE, Dec. l0.-The Wisconsin
Central-St Paul, controversy has lost none
OF its interest 10 the past tgenty-four hours,
Outside OF the st. Paul Offices talk is crystal
izing into an opinion that the latter road will
have TO let the Central into Milwaukee with
its new business, even II it furnishes termi-
nal facilities at no other point This view,
1t is hardly necessary 10 add, is stoutly held
by the Central people.
In speaking OF the trouble to-day a rail-
road man took occasion 10 cite the Eau Clai re
case as one tending 10 throw some light on
the pending question. This gentleman said t:
AT the time the Eau Claire business was In
process Of adjustment, owing TO the Wiseon-
sin Central making that point, IL was held by
the ST. Paul people that they had not the
right 10 shut out the new road.
The Northwestern people tried to shut them
out, and raised the point that the
Milwaukee q st. Paul was not obliged under
their contract 10 furnish terminal facilities
TO the Central for this new business. At that
time the s.. Paul people claimed 10 have ex-
amined the contract as regarded this point,
aud said they had no right under II 10 shut
the Central out. This discussion let the
Wisconsin Central into a share Of the
business. Now, unless there have been
some new developments since that time,
cannot see how they are going to refuse the
Central folks terminal facilities for their new
81. Paul business"
An effort was made to interview Assistant
General Manager Miller ON this point but
that gentleman said he would have no more
~ say on the subject in controversy.
