Profits of Slot Machines.

How much money do you get out
of these mechanical toys" | asked a
man who was emptying the cash re-
ceiver of the ~ del of a steamship en-
CINE, with music box attachment, in
the Hoffman house. ...
We'll, it depends, was the answer,
''on the hotel in which the machine is
placed. This one is the best in the
city. The first month We placed these
toys on exhibition they returned over
800 each. From that time the receipts
have dwindled until each one does not
earn a quarter of that amount now.
Still each one of the engines, all of
which have paid for themselves over
and over again, yet earns a good profit.
They are all owned by a company
of stockholders, organized for the pur-
pose, and they have all made fat divi-
dends on their investment. The steam
boats, fire engines and locomotives cost
about 500 each all told, including the
case. The grip testers, lung testers
and weighing machines cost, at the
outside, SOS. We have little trouble
in placing them.
They are ornamental, and few
hotels object to having one. Saloon
keepers often ask to have them placed
in their saloons Sometimes we are
asked to pay rent for them, and if it is
a very large hotel we generally do so. "

plates was to be cut into huge ana
CHASTITY slices.
The mans hand trembled, and his
hammer dropped from his nerveless
grasp. 1t went swiftly downward, hit
a projection in the scaffold, bounded
off, and striking a Is inch pipe broke
it in two as cleverly and as keenly
as if it had been split with a knife.
The hand swung over and grasped
Mique around'the loins with an awful
tenacity, and there the men struggled
on the awful verge of the scaffold.
Dennice had almost managed to swing
his weight ON the scaffold when Mique's
hickory shirt ripped, and back the man
went into space, this time losing the
purchase of his heel and swinging clean
over SO that he held himself only by
one arm and hung suspended upright
in the air.
Mique managed to thrust the toes of
his left foot between two narrow planks
that made the scaffold, and thus ac-
CURED leverage. Throwing over the
other shoulder by strong and almost
miraculous movement he swung the
suspended body of Dennice back to the
platform and dashed his face against
the tower. There they lay, motionless
and still, and when their companions
reached them they found that both
had tainted dead away. The awful
duel had lasted less than forty seconds,
but there is none on record that can
compete with it.
Ten minutes later Dennice and Mique
were hammering away as merrily as
before. Peoria Herald.

The Authorities Interfere

This morning upon complaint of
City Engineer Prefer, Capt. Shar-
dein sent Officer Beck to stop the men
from completing the electric street
car line on East Commerce street,
above the S. P. railroad crossing.
The city engineer claims that the
company had not been given the
lines and location on the street,
along which to build. The track,
however, has been completed up to
the cemetery, but the police have
stopped all further work in connec-
ton with It's completion, as far as
stringing the wire is concerned, I'M
til the matter has been Strengthened
out by the authorities.
Mr.. Weiss who has just returned
from his trip abroad was seen by tn g
reporter, but knew nothing of the
trouble. AS far as he knew, every
thing was serene, the entire track
being completed up to the cemetery,
and the only work that could be
stopped was the erection of the poles
for the trolleys.

Dinners in the white House.

/ here referred to the charge that
Hayes saved a great deal of money
while he was in the White House and
that he watched every penny. Steward
Crump denied that this was true, and
said: Il believe that President Hayes
spent as much in the White House as
any president has ever done. Some of
his state dinners cost him ST per plate.
/ was instructed to get the best | could
in the market without regard to price,
and Hayes never criticised my accounts.
never found any niggardliness about
him, and 1 don't believe he saved a
cent of his salary. He always had lots
of people to dinner, and during the
last part of his term there was an av-
erage of thirty-seven every day to din
ner, and we always had houseful of
guests. He did not use any wine, it is
true, but he made up for it in other
ways
He was a much nicer man to work
for than Arthur, and he kept decent
hours Arthur never had his dinner
before s o'clock, and his friends often
sat at the table as late as II or l. This
would run the dish washing away on
into the night, and found | could not
stand the pressure. Garfield always
had wine at his meals. He never ate
anything but a cracker and cup of
coffee for breakfast, and he took this
often as late as 10 o'clock in the morn

We have some very deep colliery
workings in this country but the deep
est of them is far eXcelled in venture
someness into the bowels of the earth
by several of the shafts on the CONT
nent. Ashton Moor colliery, in Lanca-
shire, has depth of 1850 feet below
the surface, and the celebrated Monk
wearmouth pit in Durham has a depth
of 1900 feet In Bohemia there are
two shafts which, measured from the
surface, have depth of 1916 feet and
$500 feet respectively, but the COM
mencement of the sinking is !, $50 feet
above the sea level. In Prussian Sax
ony there is a boring which has been
carried down to the prodigious depth of
$3.50 feet In Belgium a shaft has
been sunk below sea level 3,OS4 feet
and this is supposed to be the deepest
penetration of the earth's crust yet af-
fected. At these depths the workmen
are always perspiring. They have a
uniform temperature a tri1e too high

FIGHTING ON A HIGH TOWER.

Two Workmen Battling Desperately One
Hundred Feet from the Ground.
Two men fighting in midair. This
was the terrible scene enacted on a
massive iron tower being erected by the
water works company. The tower had
reached the height of 80 feet, and
two gangs of riveters were at work with
their heaters and their holders on.
The latter work on the inside of the
tower, while the men who hammer the
rivets to a head work on the frail scat
fold on the outside. To the beholder
who stands on the solid earth this out
side scaffold seems to be as thin, as
frail and as delicate as a spiders web.
There it winds around the tall black
iron towGr, frail below and dwindling
away in the upward distance into moth
ingness. Ninety feet from the ground
and on this frail scaffold two riveters
were working, and from some unac-
countable cause became involved lin an
alteration.
Bessemer steel is hard, but it is not
harder than the hearts of Infatuated
men. Iron rivets, awaiting the touch
of the hammer, are hot, but they are
not hotter than the infamed passions
of the sons of Adam. The riveters in
question came with the water works
company from Syracuse, N. Y. One
was Mique the other Dennice. Each
man swung a seven pound hammer.
Mique made mislick and struck Den
nice on the hand. Maddened with the
sudden pain Dennice became at once
a demon, and swung his hammer full
and fair at the head of Mique. Had
the iron head of the hammer crushed
in those locks a mangled and lifeless
and half headless corpse would have
toppled down to the solid earth, ninety
feet below. Mique, however, threw
up his hammer in a defensive way and
parted the blow Again the hammer
of Dennice swung and again it was par
ried, but as its head caromed on the
steel head of Mique's defensive hammer
it shot off on a tangent like glancing
arrow that strikes a tree, and knocked
away one of the supports of the scat
fold.
There was a sickening, cracking
sound as the frail upright was knocked
| away from the braces, and down went
the ends of two planks comprising one
section of the scaffold. Mique, who
had been retreating from before the
fierce advances of Dennice, was on a
firm footing. but Dennice was compel
led to make giant spring to save him
self. In the terror of the moment he
leaped almost to the very shoulders of
the affrighted Mique and knocked him
down backward, falling on top of him.
The force of the conclusion was such
that both men rolled to the edge of the
scaffold, and over went Dennice.
Instinctively and in the desperation
of the moment he caught one heel in
the upright Immediately behind him
and threw his left arm around the neck
of Mique. There he hung on the edge
of the scaffOld, suspended by only one
heel and wrist, while below him-near-
ly hundred feet below-was a row of
iron pipes and plates of steel. To fall
was to be dashed to pieces.
To fall on the pipes was to break
arms and legs and back. To fall on
the curved and upturned edges of the

More than 800 different industries enter
into the building of every ocean steamship.
To build $500 ton steamship requires 600
men in direct and constant employment,
averaging $500 per man. The sum Of $780,
600 is thus distributed to the trades. To
run such vessel costs about $4,000 out
side of the salary list, which is over $40, 600.

What the People are sayiug
No wonder the people are SO
earnest in their inten ton to secure a
live, progressive, substantial city
administration.
Every day brings to light the reck-
less character OF our present city adj
ministration.
The fact that at least 500, 900 Of the
last issue of city bonds are bogus, is
sufficient to put all business men to
thinking.
No matter if these bonds are sold,
any citizen tax payer can enjoin tn cir
collection.
And if the ordinance authorizing
the issue of the $3.50, 900 bonds voted
by the people failed to have the re-
quired enacting clause, the whole
batch are subject to be contested in
court.
What is city attorney for, if his
services are not required to examine
the legislation of the city council;
yet it has become the habit of the
city council to pass ordinances, or
resolutions" without consulting the
attorney.
The so.called ordinance recently
passed in relation to variety shows,
is not worth the paper on which 1t is
written; it has no enacting clause
which is as essential to the validity
of an ordinance as any other requi.
site.
The tax ordinance for this year was
passed without an enacting clause; if
the city clerk added it afterwards in
the minutes, after the council had
adjourned, he assumed authority not
permitted by the city charter.
