Elephants at Work.

The Hon. Carter ii. Harrison, in his
"Race with the Sum-, describes a visit
to some timber yards and sawmills in
Rangoon, where he saw what he calls
the lions of the city-the working ele-
plants The lumber is not sawed into
boards but the slab is taken off and the
good stuff left in the form Of square
timber The logs are many of them
three feet in diameter and 80 or 40 feet
long. These the elephants draw from
the river and pile in systematic order.
Then, when they are needed, they roll
them to the ways and assist in ad justing
them for the saw.
After the log is cut the elephant goes
among the machinery, takes the slabs
away, and carries che good timber and
piles it up or lays it gently upon the OK
carts to be hauled off.
While we were present carpenter
wanted lumber from a particular log
which was under several others One
of the monsters rolled the upp + logs off
and pushed the chosen stick to the mill
The way was not clear-the log butted
against the Others He pushed these
aside and guided his piece through them
with sagacity almost human.
His stick became wedged. He pushed
and tugged; it would not budga, but at
a Whispered word from the mahout and
the promise of nice food he bent to it.
Still it stuck. With whistle audible
for half mi,e, he got ON his knees,
Strengthened out his hind legs, and put
his whole force into a push. He was
successful. We could almost read his
satisfaction in the gentle flaps of his
huge ears and the graceful curve of his
proboscs as he put it up to the mounted
mahout asking for his reward
Sticks more than two feet thick and
90 feet long are lifted bodily upon the
great ivories and are then carried off
and laid upon the gangways SO gently as
not to make jar We saw one of the
elephants carrying such timber along
path not three feet wide among masses
of loose logs.
He had to plant his fore feet upon the
logs, and thus walk considerable dis
tance. He looked as if he were walk
ing upon his hind legs. The corner of
frail little bamboo hut stood in his way.
He lifted the log over the roof, and bent
his body SO that his sides gently scraped
the corner of the house and did not
shake it, A hundredth part of his
weight would have caused it to topple
from its pile foundation.

WHEN FALLOw FIELDS INVITE.

Now is the time when fallow fields invite
The restless wanderer with their pensiva
charms.
When Autumn's torches wave their golden
light,
And sumachs from the hillsides burn alarms.
Along the rocky path of some spent stream,
Mid tangled weeds and grasses, brown and
dry,
The tall rudbecka's yellow blossom gleam,
Like peaceful stars within quiet sky.
While, here and there the milkweed stalks
uplift
Their gray bowls filled with many fairy
Which to each passing wind is thrown gift,
10 soar like hope, and, like Hope quickly
Across the distant hillsides rugged face,
The creeping smilax weaves its flaming bars,
And patches of wild asters bloom and trace
Their milky way in white and purple stars.
Along the fenceway grows the bitter-sweet,
Its crimson berries hung in swaying chains,
Like rosaries, on which Autumn may repeat
her prayer for Summ,r in low, sad refrains.
Deep in the thicketS where the colors glow.
Like those on palette from a masters brush,
Some lone, helated bird pipes sad and low
And breaks upon the Autumn's brooding
hush.
A spell is on each clump of maple trees,
That golden spell that Midas held of old,
And showers of leaves float out on every breeze,
BY Autumns magic touch turned into gold.
The world is veiled with tissues fairies wear,
The woof of sunshine warp of purple mist,
And through the hazy, soft enchanted air,
The distant hills seem carved of amethyst.
thousand beauties WOO the Artist't hears,
A thousand charms he Poets soul delight
OH happy one who holds in these part.
Oh! bissful days when fallow fields invite.

WIVES DREAM OF BLISS.
The Kitchen Will BE Banished From Their
Homes.

The idea of cooperative housekeeping
is growing in this country 1t is now
receiving a practical test in several
western cities. and also in Philadelphia.
The idea is not so much to secure
cheaper living as to do away with in
dividual household work. The cook i'll
charge of the central culinary establish
ment will purchase all provisions neces.
sary, hire the needful help, and collect
from each family its proportion of the
expenses. The families will be charged
according to the number of persons each
contains special prices being made for
babies and very small children.
Another plan is to adopt a regular
weekly rate for each person.
Purchasing fuel and provisions in
wholesale quantities, the association will
buy at much lower rate than that
charged individuals. Families can either
take their meals at private tables cur
tanned in booths in the main dining room
of the central supply house, or have
.hem served in their own dwellings.
The former plan is the one usually
adopted, and can be carried on some-
what cheaper than the other.
Speaking of the trial now being made
in Philadelphia, DIR. Taylor, of that city,
SAYS:
"If the plan works, as we have no
doubt it will, besides having a central
cooking house, there will be established
laundry, electric light plant, and house
heating apparatus. A g oil system is to
have one central supply house for each
square The dwellings, are built as
usual, with the exception of the dining
rooms. They are built away from the
main structure and along covered
al lie leading from the central house to
the middle of the four sides of the
square The dining rooms are one story
structures, and they are connected with
the main dwelling by little archways.
Thus each family eats in its own dining
room, but is served from the common
SUI ply house.
Experienced hotel men tell us that
three servants can cook for 40 families.
1t would require three more to distribute
the meals. The laundry would not
necessitate the employment of more than
three people. The heating and lighting
apparatus is attended by few laborers.
Forty families thus dismiss at least 40
servants, and have their work done more
thoroughly and better by dozen. y"

AS for the perfect hand. it is rarely
one comes upon it nowadays. The wrist
should be round and dimpled, too; the
delicate taper fingers should turn back
ward at the tip of the rosy finger
nails; the skin should be of soft white
ness.
And, now, word of advice, says the
Boston Traveler. Wear rings in proper
ton to the ugliness of your hands; and,
pray, if your hand is worth showing, do
not hide it under sparkling stones that
anybody can bly.
Another word of advice: When you
"do" your nails don't put too high
polish upon them or file them into too
sharp points; the happy medium is the
better form.
There is nothing that will preserve the
beauty of the hand so well as the oiled
glove to be worn to bed.

FINALLY SETTLED.
A Satisfactory Site Secured for
the Worlds Fair.
The Entire South Park System Of Chicago
TO Be Used.
The Whole Exposition 10 Be Placed In
One Compact and Central Portion
of the City.
Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The South Park Com
missoners this morning acceded to the re-
quest of the National Commissioners to
allow the use of Washington Park for the
Worlds Fair, in addition TO Jackson Park
and Midway Plaisance. This practically
settles the vexed site question to the salts
faction of the National Commission.
AT the opening of the session this morning
the commission passed resolutions of regret
at the death Of Governor Stevenson of
Nevada.
At 3:45 this afternoon the National Com
mission voted to accept the amended site as
rendered by the local board. The site in
cludes Washington and Jackson parks and
Midway Plaisance, connecting them and
the lake front Park. IN all about 1000 acres.
in a sense the chosen site, is one of great
merit, comprising as it does the entire South
Park system of Chicago-the finest of any
in the city. The enthusiasm with which
the tender was received by the National
Commission showed in marked contrast
with the reception of the previous PROPOSE
IiouS. DJ lrSoICIlOu duUpteu early III tlle
day the National Commission had formally
pledged itself to regard the offer OF such site
as a final settlement of all questions
relating to the site, and when the Park
Commissioners promptly responded and
the exact location of the big exposition was
at last finally fixed, there was an outburSt of
cheers. Stepping from the doors of the
City'S railroad depots, hotels and business
houses. visitors to the World's Fair viii. as
it were. enter directly the vestibule of the
exposition on the lake front. This lake
'front.' is stlip OF park comprising sixty
acres, bordering the shore of Lake Michigan.
Leading from it the finest boulevard of the
city goes directly to Washington Park and
connecting with the latter is Midway Plais-
ance, which ends in Jackson Park. One
side of Jackson Park is washed by the
waves of Lake Michigan. The greater pOr-
pleasure drives, inclosing great stretches
of meadow and groves of oak. Adj
joining Washington Park Is race
track, capable of accommodating $4,000
people, and this the local Directors expect
to make part, also, of the site, for the pur-
pose of speed displays and the livestock
show. This improved track, where tine
livestock show will be made, is within 100
yards Of the point selected for the main
building, thus placing the whole fair in one
compact quarter Of the city. including the
Government display and the displays to be
made by the various States in conjunction
with the main exposition buildings. The
site selected and plan of buildings proposed
is generally regarded as calculated to be
of the country. There is great rejoicing
in Chicago tonight by all classes over the
final settlement Of the site controversy in
way that gives satisfaction.

SHOT HER LOVER.
Why Nellie PanhOrst Wounded
Samuel Goldberg.
Tragedy That May Result in Murder.
Disagreement as to How a Mar
riage Should Be Performed.

Samuel Goldberg visited Nellie Panhorst
at her residence, 113 Fair Oaks street, about
IL O'Clock last night and received bullet in
his breasts from the effects of which he may
die.
The young man was removed to the City
and County Hospital, where it was found
that his wO und was entirely too serious to
probe. The young woman who did the
shooting is quite young and beautiful. She
was taken into custody by Sergeant Price
and Officers Tompkins and j. w. Hawes
of the Mission Police.
When she arrived at the Seventeenth
street Station no amount OF questioning
could get her to tell the story Of the shoot
ing. On being removed to the Central Sta
t0n she simply sObbed and said, Il did it; l
did it, and | would do it again"
Further Investigation by a CALL repre-
sentative disclosed the fact that Goldberg
is a peddler of jewelry and lottery
tickets, and that he lived at 72712 McAllister
street.
During the past few months he had been
paying his addresses to the young lady, and
finally proposed marriage.
To this she did not object, but insisted
that the ceremony should be performed in
the presence of friends and in accordance
with the law of the land and the commonly
recognized custom. He objected and in
sisted that the union should be effected by a
contract.
Miss Panhorst then submitted the matter
to her step-father, Captain KnesOn, who
sided with the young lady, and forbade
Goldberg the privilege of visiting the house.
This restriction he disregarded. and con-
tinued 10 taunt the young woman with his
visits and threats. lie declared that if she
did not marry him, as he desired, he would
kill her and take his own life. She was in
constant fear of being killed, and her step
father deemed it necessary to leave his pistol
with her for self-prOtection. Goldberg was
warned, but did not heed it.
When he called last night he found the
house closed against him, but he managed
to effect an entrance and was confronted by
the young woman. What occurred is known
only to Goldberg and Miss PanhOrst, and
neither would tell, but the fact fDthat there
was shot from frearm and Goldberg was
found in the house wounded.
The officers were summoned and he was
taken to the City and County Hospital and
the fair shooter was placed under arrest.
The pistol used was Smith & WessOn, and
from the direction of the shot there is rea-
son to believe that 1t will prove fatal.
Even While lying on his probable DEATH
bed Goldberg refuses to tell how the shoot
ing occurred, and the details are held back
in the same manner by the fair shooter.

LABOR NOTES.
Shoe Clerks Are Meeting With
Better Success.

The shoe clerks held meeting at B'nai
Birth Hall last night at which the Execu-
tive Committee of the Council of Federated
Trades reported that the firms of Nolan
& Descaso, Cohnrech Bros. and the Phila-
delphia Shoe Company had agreed to close
at o'clock in the evening.
Efforts are being made to extend the
o'clock closing movement up Market street,
and as Deasy Bros. are next in line the
unions delegates to the council were in
structed 10 request that body to place boy
colt on said firm if not found closing on or
before Friday evening.
Several committees were appointed to
visit the trades unions throughout the city
and request their aid in the O'Clock move
ment. Representatives from the Shoe
makers League were present, and pledged
the aid OF that body in any and all efforts Of
the clerks to reduce their hours OF labor,
further stating that they are with the clerks
first, last and always.
The Dry-g0Ods Clerks Early Closing AS
ISOLATION have also won Kennedy into their
ranks upon substantially the same terms.
All the merchants seem willing enough to
close, but they insist that it shall not b. a
one-sided affair. What is granted by few
must be required of all.
