A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
How a Riheman Saved the Life
of a Child.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-LittIe two-year-
old Sophie Schwab involuntarily be-
came a b%alloonist to-day and was waited
high up over the broad bosom of Lake
Michigan. A rifleman's skill saved the
child's life. The exciting incident took
place at Sheffield park, and was wit
messed by 1,500 picnickers. An
Italian peddler of toy balloons
attempted to serve two purchasers at
once, and in doing so let go his string of
bright-colored globes. The cord got
twisted about Sophla's left arm and
also in her hair, and the buoyant rub
Der bubbles started heavenward, taking
the youthful aeronaut along. SOphia's
mother shrleked and tainted. The by
ISLANDERS stood horror-stricken, scarcely
breathing as the balloons swept close to
a large oak tree, and the infant grasped
a handful of twigs and checked her
flight. A muscular young German was
ascending the tree in an instant, and
then crept out on the branch nearest
the child. At this moment Sophia's
puny strength gave out, and the bal
looms, suddenly released, went again
upward at least 100 feet, drifting
them out over the lake. Gust Koch,
a sharpShooter who was attending the
picnic with his repeating rifle. hur-
riedly jumped into a skiff with two
companions and pulled out into range.
Koch succeeded in piercing several Of
the balloons, each successful shot help
ing the bunch to descend. Before it
finally reached the water, the boat was
at the spot, and little Sophie did not
even get her feet wet.

WHITE HOUSE EXTENSION.
Plans for Giving the Presidents
Family More Room.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-A bill to
provide for the extension Of the White
house, with a view to giving the family
of the president more room for domes-
tic purposes, will probably be intro
duced by Senator Cameron this winter.
AT least he has signiied his intention to
do so unless somebody has a bill to pro-
pose that may be more desirable than
his own idea on the subject. Senator
Cameron's idea for an improvement is a
general one He has nothing to offer in
the way of detail. His proposition is to
extend the executive mansion by
wings built to the east and
west, much in the same man-
ner that the capitol building was en-
larged by the addition of the house and
senate extensions. The White house as
it stands is clothed with too many cir
cumstances of historical interest to per-
NIT of its demolition or any radical
alterations that would destroy the orig
inal. 1t has been the home of every
president except Washington, and the
cornerstone was laid by him. Senator
Cameron's idea is to leave it as it is,
and increase the accommodations by the
extensions stated. He wants the plan
for the wing to be used by the family to
be designed after ideas agreeable to
Mrs. Harrison. As a woman with eX-
perience in keeping house under diff
%eulties, she will, he thinks, know what
is neede better than a man,

Hammond.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Dr. Ham
mond, in an interview on the use of the
so-called "elixir of life," says: "Judg-
ing from the reports in the newspapers
of the experiments with the Brown
Sequard fluid, they have been con-
Quoted in an extremely illogical man
ner. The reports state the fluid has
been sterilized by the doctors using it.
They might as well boil it, so far as the
process affects its properties. 1t is made
absolutely dead and useless by being
steriliZed.
CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 1S.-Dr. Long
fellow. who was mentioned in the AssO-
eiated Press report yesterday in con-
nectiOn with the Brown-Sequard elixir,
called at the Office Of the Associated
Press here this evening and stated in
reply that he has treated %forty-nine
patients with the elixir. Of that num-
Der 40 per cent have been benefited,
some a great deal, others less. In but
one case has any special Inflammation
resulted, ard that far from dangerous.
Results so far have been permanent,
Notwithstanding newspaper reports to
the contrary. DR.. Longfellow attributes
his success with the elixir to its proper
administration. He says also that no
papers have paid him for his expert
ments, nor has any chemist been paid.

The saltwater Meeting.

Special to the Globe
SALTWATER, Aug. 19.-Indications
are that the fall running and trotting
meeting of the Lily Lake Driving Park
association, which opens Tuesday, will
be a great success. There will be from
twenty to thirty bangtails on the track,
and thirty to forty PAGERS, among some
of the fastest horses entered being
Motor, Mike Wilkes, Belle l. and Belle
ID. Many of the horses were at the
park by noon yesterday. The running
races are all filed, and it is probable
that an additional race will be sched-
uIe1 for other runners. Local interest
is highly stimulated over the prospect
of the meeting, and outside attendance
will be large. The judges selected are
J. S. O'Brien, c. P. Gregory and S. L.
Cowan; timers, D. 81. Hersey and f. IL.

TRorTING AT CHICAGO.
Entries for the Washington Park
Races TO-DAY,


CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-To-morrow be-
gins the meeting at Washington Park
of the trotting and pacing horse breed
ers of the Northwest. Of the perform
ers of the day but little is known out
side the ranks of the trotting horse
interest, but the entries are large, and
it is possible that some good per
2:48 class there are several ami
mails with private performances
as good as $50 or better, but it
is a certainty that the winner will gain
a record away below his mark. The
fi~ve-year-old stake is deprived of its in
terest by the absence of Brown, and
Eminence has a virtual walk over. The
2:25 class will afford the best contest OF
the day. With the fine weather and
fast track a large attendance is assured
1t is likely that the races at the West
Side track will be discontinued II day,
as last year, and that the patrons of
Corrigan and Waldo will be out in force
to see the record-breaking, three-year-
old stallion, AXtell. Much uncertainty
exists as to the starters tomorrow. The

TURNED ON THE A
A Chicago Actress Narrow Es-
cane After a Late Supper.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1s.-Miss Matte
Horribly, n of the members of the
"Blue Beard Jr." company, who rooms
alone at the Commercial hotel, was
found lying unconscious on the floor OF
her room this afternoon with a full flow
of gas escaping from the burner and
the room full of the deadly
vapor. Miss Horribly was with great
difficulty revived and cared for by
other members of the company. She
said that she had eaten a late supper
after the theater. and on retiring sup
posed she had turned out the gas as
usual. though she now thinks that III
stead of that she opened one burner in
e%ndeavoring to close another. Finally,
after sleeping awhile, the fumes awak-
ened her and she attempted to reach
the door, but fell on the floor and was
unable to rise. She had no idea OF how
long she lay on the floor, but it was l
o'clock this afternoon when the cham
bermaid, unable to effect an entrance to
the room, called the h~ousekeeper, who,
opening the door with a pass key, found
Miss Horribly lying unconscious.

will also trot against the stallion record
of 2:13H, and will, if the track and
weather are favorable, beat it. There
are no less than seventeen candidates
in the 2:25 pacing class, and the winner
must get to the wire in 2:1S to win the
race. On the last day Of the meeting
the 2:15 pacing class will supply. a
grand race. There are ten entries, in
Guiding Kitty c., Chimes E., Ed Amman,
Budd Doble, Elmonarch. Bessemer,
Wilcox, Doctor NJ, Doctor West and
Gray Harry. With such a field 1t is I'M
necessary to say that a great race may
be anticipated. The programme is a
grand one. All that the magnificent
management of the officials of Wash
ington Park can do will be done to
make the meeting a perfect success.

RENT THE HILLS.
The Great Earthquake at Kumam-
OtO.

OTTO.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18.-The
steamer City of Sydney, from Hong
Kong and Yokohama. which arrived
this evening, was expected to bring de-
tails Of the earthquake at Kumamoto,
the first news of which was cabled from
Yokohama July 80. One cablegram
gave the loss of life at 5000, while an
other stated that almost the entire town
of Kumamoto. with a population OF
3S.0OO, was destroyed. Full details
had not been received when the City OF
Sydney left Yokohama, bat the newSpa-
pers of that city of Aug. 2 indicate no
such loss as given by the c~ablegrams.
Several late kilograms to Yokohama
gave the loss at twenty to thirty killed.
The Japan newspaper Jill Snlmpo says,
however, by a great earthquake at ku-
mamoto On July %, many hills have
been rent. houses demolished. and peo-
pie killed and wounded in the city, IN
dependent of the surrounding villages.
Another shock has been felt. and the
inhabitants are fearing further dlsas-
ter. The people have been seized with
superstition on account OF the hills be-
ing broken open.
DESTRUCTION BY THE FLOODS.
The floods having subsidized in the va
rious districts of Japan, a fairly accu-
rate estimate of damage done is OBJ
tanned. Nine hundred and thirty
houses were destroyed by being washed
away or broken up by colliding to-
gether. Forty-one persons are known
to have lost their lives. The Overland
China Mail learns July 6 that the rioters
in Fohien, province of China, had fled
before the approaching troops. Before
leaving, however, they burned their
boats. The attack on the Chin Chu vii
lagos is confirmed. For the loss of four
or five of their countrymen last year the
rioters ~revenged themselves by slaught-
ering between 400 and 500 inhabitants
of Chin Chu villages, including women
and children,

BECOMING SENSIBLE.
Socialists Talk of Giving Up Their
Mode of Agitation.

New YORK, Aug. 18.-At a meeting
of the socialistic organization of the
Tenth assembly district to-day, Engel-
bert Burchmann said, in a lengthy
speech, that the present mode of agita-
ton among the socialists was of very
little use, as it was not adapted to
American life, habits and historical de-
velopment. He advised his hearers to
dissolve the present political %organiZa-
ton. destroy It's machinery, and estab-
lish a federation of groups of agitation
to disseminate socialistic ideas among
American workmen. The speaker held
that the two weekly organs, The So
calist and Workingmen's Advocate, be
no longer published, as during the last
two years subscribers had not increased.
Other speeches were in the same strain.
