rATALITIEs IN A CHAIN.

Among the telegraphic stories in yester-
days EVENING WORLD was that of n most
singular chain of fatalities by which,
within twenty -four hours, five persons lv-
ing in one house at Rankin Station, near
Braddocb, Pa. met VIC ent deaths Prob
able suiciue began the chain, fire con.
t'nued it, and through the fall of ruins
left by the fire the final tragedies oc-
Cured.
The individual cases involved were
ordinary enough, but their singular COM
bination made the record most remark
able one and has created intense excite
ment in the neighborhood. Wiseacres
shake their heads over it aud talk of n
mysterious fate. Eeal wise ones know
better.
The series of fatalities simply
formed one of those startling per-
formRnces in which chance seems
TO make plaything OF circumstance to
the bewilderment of human contempla
ton, The occurrences carried no not
tent nor warning extraordinary. There if
no cause in them why the world at Ran.
kin Station should not wag on today
even as it did yesterday and the day be.

GIVE NEW YORK A CITY HALL,

Jersey City Is the latest municipality

business of securing one. A site is to be
selected for building to cost not TO ex-

municipal building has long been real

the city pays rent.

The Countess Madeline's Finesse

The Countess Madeline's Finesse
with Faint-Hearted Lover.
With gesture expressive of firm reso-
luton, as if the affair was quite settled,
says London lid Bits, the Countess Made
line pointed to her lacquered Japanese
cabinet that shimmered in the lampliglt
and said very gravely:
open one of those three drawers.
Valentine, and be sure that you choose
the right one. Each drawer contains an
answer to the prayer which you have ad-
dressed to me for the past six months. If
you open that which contains the answer
Yes will be yours and marry you as
soon as you please. But take care that
you do not get the wrong answer, for if
you do you will never see me again."
"Alas!" said Valentine, there are
two chances TO one against me. How
cruel you are, my darling!"
Well, said tho Countess, " if / marry
you. | can at least lay the blame on fate. "
The young man hesitated a long time.
His hand wandered from draw to
drawer, not ven,uring to touch any, and
his heart sank with the fear of not
choosing rightly. At last he shut his
eyes and opened drawer at hazard.
Oh, rapture The little piece of pink
paper when unIOlueu ulSClOSeu TO MS
glad eyes the exquisite word yes" In
ecstasy he clasped blushing Madeline in
his arms and covered her face with kisses.
She could not deny him now without
dsgraceful violation of her promise. But
Madeline was an upright person, who al
ways kept her word, and SO he was soon
able to call her his wife.
Still, even amid the raptures of the
honeymoon. Valentine was not entirely
happy. AT times gloomy expression ap-
peartd on his brow and in his eyes.
Ungrateful man :" sighed Madeline.
You are not yet satisiit d. What is the
matter 2"
" am troubled about something"
About whaI?''
II owe my wife to chance, not to her
own inclination"
He remained pensive for time, while
she looked smilingly at him. Suddenly
she broke ipto merry laugh.
Stupid man. she cried. Don't
you see that put the same answer in all
three drawers?"

FOR AMERICAS BIG FAIR.

The Foreign Commission of the Co
lumbar Exposition has reached tie other
side of the Atlantic, aud will proceed with
its errand OF stirring up European manu-
facturers 20 the support of the great Ex-
hibition. From the editorial tone OF the
foreign press, observed from time to
time, it seems entirely probable that the
Commission will be very successful in its
work. 1t is to be sincerely hoped that it
will be SO.
Such prospect should certainly arouse
our own manufacturers to the in ortance
of being fully represented at the great
show. While the Europeans will be more
than welcome ns exhibitors, they must
not be allowed TO carry away any Of the
honors for variety or excellence o. exhib-
fes which Americans can SO easily keep
for themselves. j, is Americas Fair,
though the whole world is welcome to 1t.
