WHILE celebrating what to buy for Christmas
presents, remember that Heron, the ieweler, at
4 East Washington street, buys everything in
his line at the lowest figures, and always gets
the choicest goods because he buys exclusively
for cash, and is by this means enabled to give
you the lowest prices. He warrants all goods
exactly as represented.

The owners of the mill are known by the firm
name of |. +. Evans & Co. The interest of |. 2.
Evans, who died some time ago, is held by his
heirs, and the other partners are his brothers,
Joseph and William r. Evans. The firm own,
in addition to the mill which was destroyed yes
terday, another one, located west of White river,
and they were about the most extensive manu-
f%acturers of linseed oil in the West.
In the establishment on South Delaware
street they employed between twenty-five and
thirty men, and did a business of many thou
sands a year, their trade extending into all parts
OF the country. They occupied the building
which is now in ruins for many years. 1t was
badly damaged six years ago by one of the walls
falling in, under the weight Of a large stock Of
seed.
In addition to the loss OF Evans e Co., the
New York Central Railway Company will proba-
bly, lose between 81, 900 and 81, 500 on the freight
car demolished by the falling of the south wall
of the oil mill. Trains could not pass on the
Union track until after the fire had subsidized,
last evening, sufficiently to permit workmen to
remove the debris. The north wall fell over the
wires of the Central Union Telephone Company,
and twenty-seven of the lines connecting with
South-side business houses and manufactures
were broken.
A few small accidents occurred but there were
no serious results from any of them. In respond
ing to the alarm, the No. 2s broke there coil,
and were unable to render much aid in subdu
ing the flames. Grin Tuthill, of the No. l reel,
fell from one of the buildings on Virginia aven-
ne, which caught fire from flying sparks, and
badly sprained the leaders of his heel. John
Glazier attempted to Jump on one Of the engines
while it was going to the fire, and was thrown
violently to the ground, and he very narrowly
escaped being run over by a ladder wagon. He
was not dangerously injured. Several of the
fremen, while working in the building. came
near being caught under the falling walls.

The Girls and the Crabs.

They We're very jolly crowd of half
a dozen pretty young ladies, says the
Savannah Neos. They had spent the
day at Montgomery, fishing and crab
bing, and had had lots of fun. All the
crabs We're in one small basket when
the party left the train at the Anderson
street depot to take the street car. A
brother of one of the young misses, a
lad of 16, carried the empty lunch
basket and the crustacea. The mid
day sun had kissed rather too ardently
their sweet faces, and twelve fair
cheeks reflected a ruddy glow, suggest
ing an application of sour cream at
night. They were chatting and laugh
ing merrily all the way down Whitts-
ker street past the park extension.
just as tho car was nearing CASTOR
street an unlucky jolt sent all the pas
sengers humping against each other.
The same moment the basket contain
ing the hard shells went spinning out
from under the seat, and the top cover
rolled oil. strewing tho floor with two
dozen swapping. business-liko crabs.
They started to hunt for water imme-
diateiy and hustled along pretty lively,
swapping viciously at six pair of dainty
shoes that were in the aisle. Six
piercing shrieks; but before the last
note glided out of the car door every
one of those girls was standing upon
the seats. How they got there is lost.
An expert with stop watch could not
have timed them. They were high and
safe, grasping their skirts

Welcomed the Poet.

The paper had gone to press and the
editors werc leaning back in their chairs
tanning themselves and wondering il
sheol could be any hotter than terra
when seedy-looking man with a red
nose entered the room and said tim
idly:
"Here is q poem"
Instantly five editors sprang to their
feet and five clubs were waving in the
air.
''On Beautiful Snow" continued the
seedy man.
"Vhat!' simultaneously from five
voices.
"A poem on Beautiful Snow" re-
peated the seedy man, with delibera-
ton.
Five clubs dropped to the floor and
five men crowded around the poet and
shook him by the hands and patted
him on the shoulder. and fairly over
whelmed him with attention. Then the
editor-in- chief led the poet to the best
chair and said;
"Read to US"
The poet placed his hat, with his
handkerchief in it, on the desk, put on
a pair of rusty-rimmed spectacles. and,
unfolding his manuscript, cleared his
throat. and began to read.
As he spoke of the heecy flakes de-
scending in soundless showers, of the
whitened fields. the northern blasts
whistling DER the wold, the editors put
aside their fans; then they rolled down
their sleeves. As he proceeded with
his description of the terrors of the
frost king, the fury of the storm, and
the frozen corpse found beneath the
snow next morning Ga poem on Beau
tiful Snow without q frozen corpse
would be incomplete), the editors
shivered and arose and put ON their
coats.
When the poet ceased the thermo-
meter in the office had fallen 1S4 de-
grees.
Then the editor-in-chief arose and
said:
"a poet who in the strength of the
sweltering heat of a summer day bring
into newspaper Office poem on
Beautiful Snow deserves a monument.
As you are not apparently in any spe-
cial need of monument at present,
come out and we'll stand up the beer
for yon. j" Then the glad procession
took its way to the esubterranean depths

Astounding, but True.


A correspondent writes the Atlanta
Constitution as follows:
Ever since Chicago cut her eye-teeth
w. w. Chandler has been the Freight
Agent there of the Pennsylvania Cen
trail Railroad. He has done more than
any other man to encourage the East
ern shipment of eggs, butter, cheese,
and, later, fresh meats in refrigerator
cars. Not long since he visited his ma
tive town in Vermont, u quiet, out-of-
the-way place, where people compre-
hend little of the great world outside.
To give them an idea of the business
of Chicago he told the rustic friends of
his boyhood that frequently million
bushels of grain was received in sim
gle day. "Now," said he, show long
. train would be required to carry that
amount"
"a train half a mile long" ventured
one. Others guessed ga mile long"
Then the group fell to figuring on
shingles, or something else that came
handy. After long time they allowed
that they couldn't '.get at it." when
he came to their aid with the following
solution:
"a bushel of corn weighs fifty-six
pounds. A million bushels would
therefore be Sc. 600, 600 pounds. Allow
ing ten tons GO, 0,OOO)pounds to the car
it would take $500 cars. There are
800 rods to the mile and one freight
car to two rods. Divide $500 cars by
the 100 to the mile, and you have ..
train seventeen and one-half miles
long"
.'Whew! Jerusalem!" and other ex-
pressions of wonder, not unmixed with
incredufity, went the rounds. The old:
deacon of the group, after studying
awhile, broke out: That would fill a
bin all the way from here to"
naming a place seventeen miles away.
''Yes." f.
do you mean to say that grain
enough comes into Chicago in single
day to fill such bin as thata''
Certainly"
s.Well, William" said he, ruefully.
.you used to bo a remarkable truthful
boy. but I'm afraid you've lived out
West y leetle too longr' s q.
Mr.. Chandler is perfect arsenal of
figures on the products of the West and
their shipment through Chicago. He
gave me The following on fresh beef
transported from Chicago to Eastern
points, including that shipped to Eu-
rope: In 1888. $40, 600. 600 pounds; in
1884, 500. 900. 900 pounds. In 1884
about 40 carloads "a day, averaging
about 32 car-cases per day. Over his
line alone are shipped in refrigerator
cars for foreign export an average OF
% carloads of fresh beef q week the
year round.
did not take down the figures on
Eastern shipments of eggs, butter, and
cheese. They were simply astounding.
The foreign consumption of American
cheese is steadily increasing. 1t amounts
to many millions of dollars per annum,
and goes to help keep the balance OF
trade in our favor.

Look Out for Dividends.

A Wisconsin railroad neglected to
pay judgment obtained in one of the
courts, and as a passenger train rolled
into Whitewater one day the sheriff
was on hand to levy on the locomotive.
The conductor didn't seem to care
whether school kept or not, and the
engineer at once began to plan a fish
ing excursion; but the passengers
didn't like the situation at all. One of
them took the skeriff aside and said:
Come, now, don't be mean about
this. Let up on the engine and levy
on the waller coolers and stoves. The
coolers haven't been filled for three
months, and Il passenger froze to death
last week behind one OF the stoves"
Eyes, but they would hardly satisfy
the execution"
Then take the smoking-car.
There's cockroaches in all the cracks,
moths in all The cushions, and three or
four of us were shooting grasshoppers
out of the ventilators as you came
aboard. '-WaU Street Ne1us.
