JUST MISSED a FORTUNE,

a Story That Recalls the Gigantic
Operations of the Days of Oil.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Quincy Robinson related an incident
of the early history of the oil regions
recently which may give the children
OF the present generation vague idea
of the magnitude of the transactions
which took place when oil was
So aud 50 a barrel, and poor people
gained competency by scouping it off
the surface of creeks or gathered it
from pools around the tanks which had
overlooked. The story as told by Mir.
Robinson was as follows:
within month after Col. Drake
bad struck the first petroleum ever
brought to the surface in America by
means of drilling, my father and
the father of my relatives here
bought tract of land comprising $50
acres, adjoining the farm on which the
Drake we'll was located, for $3.50, 900.
Not long afterward | was sitting in their
Office one day. remember it al dis
tinctly as though it happened only yes
terday-When an agent for an Eastern
syndicate walked in and offered $780,
QUO for the 1.2S0 acres. The owners
looked at him rather incredulously for
a moment, but before they could speak
he had counted out on the table $500. 600
in cash and drafts, which he offered for
deed of the tract. was appalled, by
the sight OF the pile, but my father and
the father of these gentlemen retired
for consultation, and decided that
if the property was worth $780,
600 it was worth S1,o0O.OO0, and
the offer was refused. The heirs still
own the land, and now it is valued at
about $4,000. Where they could have
got dollars we could scarcely tnickels.
Thus you can see what seemingly fairy
stories could be told of those days.
They are almost incomprehensible to
the present generation, but they are
red-hot facts" And a sigh of regret
that the offer had not been accepted
went around the circle.

farce comedy with anxiety and delight.

An immense throng surged into Carnegie

Wales The array of music was of addi-

its international character, and quite

themselves of the opportunity to attend one
of the only municipal organ recitals in this
country. Those who attended applauded
the airs of their nationality yociierously.
Prior to the commencement Mr.. Wales
stated that he had been disappointed in the
vocalist for the afternoon, and that in that
emergency Mrs. NJ. II. Stevenson, of WASH

and had kindly volunteered to sing without
rehearsal, the speaker adding that he was
sure that even under the circumstances
there would be nothing to apologize for.
The audience applauded, and the recital be-

Other Amusemenfs.

THE claim that Clarence Dale. the 6year-old
boy on exhibition at Harry Davis Fifth
Avenue Museum. has the largest head in the
world, has certainly not been exaggerated; the
boy has a head that measures fully 48 inches,
and during the past week has attracted many
thousand people to see him; in fact so great
has been the desire to look at this marvel of
nature that Manager Davis has very wisely
concluded co retain him another week. While
the boy will be retained another week, all the
other features IN every department OF the
Museum will be entirely new; they will consist
in part OF the somersaulting goat, marvel of
animal training, displaying intelligence that is
human; Prof. Burke's acting and boxing dogs,
Sullivan and Kilraln; the MaGinleys, Eddie G.
and Mile Lolita in her slide for life from the
dome of the theater to the stage on a slender
wire suspended by her teeth; the Alsatian
gymnastic marvels, DeHaas, the emperor and
empress of running globes and Indian CLUBS;
James W. W.Thompson, the Napoleon of Ethiopian
comedy, in songs. witticlsms, and side-splittlng
monologue; the famous transformation dancer
Miss Kitty Smith, lady. of rare grace:
illustrating in quick succession the styles OF
dancing in vogue throughout the world; the
German Rose, haudsomesI of Liliputian ladies;
violinist and vocalist; the Montague family,
mandolin and guitar soloists; Princess Zoe
ZSretta, the giantess moss hair lady; Prof.
Lyons acrobatio polyphonic family Of little
folks
You could not very well expect to get more
than the Worlds Museum offers for ten cents.
The attractions are decidedly out of the ordi-
nary this week. On Friday, October 9, baby
monkey was born IN the Museum, and this tiny
infant, with its interesting parents, will be on
exhibition. The claim is made that the birth
of monkey in captivity and in America is an
extraordinary event. and 1t is certain that very
few people here have ever seen baby monkey
in the arms of its mother. The parents are
said to be very loving. The den of tame alli-
gators. crocodiles and armadilloes, the edu-
Gated Australian coekatoos and the Murray
midget triplets will be retained another week;
and Zenona, the queen of living skeletons, Will
be seen here for the first time. In the theater
Miss Daisy Beverly will appear in sensational
border drama called "Silver Bird, the Dead
Shot," in which she will be supported by a
