CHICAGo,s rALL TOWER.

Chicago has some high notions concern ing the Worlds fair. The highest is the great tower which is to be built. This tower will not be mere imitation of the Paris tower. It will take the best of the Paris tower ideas and enlarge and improve on them, eliminating those features that were found to be detrimental to usefulness and profit. Its height from the surface of the ground to the top of the flags will be 1 ,120 feet. Its height from the surface of the ground to the focal plane of the lighthouse which surmounts the structure 1,07O feet, and the width over all at the foundation level 440 feet in each direction.
 The first landing will be circular plat form 250 feet in diameter and 200 feet from the ground, and the second cir cular platform 150 feet in diameter and 400 feet from the ground. The upper landing, more properly called the "lantern" will be of circular shape, 60 feet in diameter and 1000 feet above the ground. At the first landing there will be grand colonnade around the outside 15 feet wide and 73S feet mean circumference. On this colonnade four or five thousand people can be accommodated at one time. Inside the colonnade will be space in addition to that required for ele vators and machinery sufficient to build four hotels or restaurants, each 45 by 90 feet in area and as many stories as may be required. These buildings will be of an appropriate architecture to accommodate, for instance, an English, French, German and Spanish restaurant of the highest or der
 The second landing being 150 feet in di- ameter, may be used as 8 grand promenade and picnic quarters in the day time and as a dancing hall in the evening, or more buildings can be erected there if desired. It will accommodate at one time from 1000 to 6,O0O people. The upper landing, sixty feet in diameter, will be two or three stories high and accommodate at one time from 1900 to 1,500 persons. Above this will be four offices. Above this will be the circular electric rail road, carrying powerful electric lights at night and signals by day; above this the lighthouse, to be provided with the most powerful revolving lights ever constructed and above this the flagstaff, on which the stars and stripes will wave above the ground 100 feet higher than ever flag has waved before. Over twenty-five thousand people can be accommodated in the tower at one time, if necessary.
 We don't see what more can be done ex- cept to make hole in the ground deeper than any othet"hole in the ground ever made by man.

How to Wear a Veil.

 It takes 8 talented girl now to adjust a veil properly. Some one discovered a few weeks ago that the prettiest woman in the world would be ruined, as to her looks, if she were to attempt to wear the bordered, short, speckled veil which was then trying to be the fashion. The slarm quickly spread, and now you may walk the city over, you may traverse Lenox, you may climb the mountain steppes and jog along the most fashionable autumn retreats without finding as much a single veil of that description. Instead of the beauty disfguring sort women are wearing great pieces of tulle of some shade to either match or harmonize with the costume. The tulle is not figured, and is put on loosely and drawn in at the back or top in the most bewitching way imaginable.

Indiana's Chief Magistrate Falls Vic
tim to Heart Failure.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-General AL
vim P. Hovey, Governor of Indiana, died
this afternoon at l:2O.
Governor Hovey died of heart failure.
About three weeks ago Governor Hovey
started on pleasure trip through the
West and Mexico. When the trip was
about half completed the Governor was
taken suddenly i'll. and had to return
home.
Governor Hovey was born in Posey
County, near Mount Vernon, Ind. in
1921. He served one term in Congress.
and was elected Governor in 1888. Gov
ernOr Hovey was twice married. His
first wife died in 1852. His second wife
was the daughter of the late Caleb b.
Smith, Secretary of the Interior under
President Lincoln, and she died in 1865,
two weeks after marriage, in New York
City, while en- route to Peru, to which
country General Hovey was appointed
Minister. When the war broke out he
enlisted as Colonel of the Twenty-fourth
Indiana; was commissioned Brigadier-
General for gallantry at Shiloh, and he
won his Major at Champion
Hills. AT the close of the war he was
military Governor of Indiana, and upon
him devolved the responsibility of the
celebrated treason trials, in which Milli-
gan, Bowles and Humphreys were con-
victed, later to be pardoned by President
Lincoln. Two children survive the Gov

All that Is known is that the uprising
was so formidable that Fonseca con-

In "resigning," as he called it, he de-

Manners in children.

If we desire children to be courteous
we must treat them with respect. They
will infallibly copy our manners. so we
must take care that they are the best.
Let us be as careful of their feelings as we
wish them to be OF those of others. When
it is necessary to administer reproof, let
it be given in private. Many children are
very sensitive on this point, and they feel
ucutely. although they cannot put their
emotions with words. To tell child in
public that it has been rude, or lacking
in good breeding, is as unwarrantable as
it would be to tell a guest so. 1t is no
excuse to say that we are trying to teach
it to do better; we can do this with greater
effect if we take it aside at the first con-
venient moment and gently point out
where the error was, and what should be
done the next time.

VICTORIA (B. c., Nov. 23.-At about
$3.50 O'Clock last night the large collier
steamer San Pablo ran on the rocks about
quarter of mile from the entrance to
Victoria harbor.
The vessel was bound from Comax to
San Francisco, with 5000 tons of coal on
board from the Wellington mines.
Divers were sent down to investigate
and reported that the starboad streak for
thirty feet had been torn away. The
water poured in in spite of the pumps. A
large force of longshoremen were at once
put to work throwing the cargo into the
sea, and at noon many tons were dis
charged over the side. The ship then
settled and rolled to port, burying herself
under the water.
The bow alone remained above the
water.
Many of the workmen had narrow es-
cape from being drowned, when the at
tempt to tighten the ship was abandoned.

PARIS, Nov. 23.-The miners met YES
terday to consider the proposition of the
Government that three mining engineers.
nominated by the State, should arbitrate
upon the issues between the striking
miners and their employers. The meet
ing was held at Lena, and, in addition to
the 132 delegates, an immense number of
miners and their families were assembled
IN the place to learn the decision arrived
at. NJ. Basly presided, and evidently
leaned to the acceptance of the Govern
ment proposals.
Notwithstanding this, and the earnest
advocacy Of the Government proposition
by several of the speakers, the delegates
voted not to accept it. They were vfrtu-
ally unanimous as to the soundness of
the principle of arbitration, and that the
issues of the strike should be submitted
to arbitrators, but they insisted on nomi-
mating the arbitrators themselves. and
chose five miners for that duty. It is
thought that there is very slight pros
pect of the mine-owners agreeing to this
form of arbitration. One of them stated
that 1t was altogether one-sided.

Curious Surgery.

One singular fact is that the grip of an
ants jaw is retained after the body has
been bitten Off, and nothing but the head
remains. This knowledge is possessed
by certain tribe of Indians in Brazil
who put the ants to a very peculiar use
When an Indian gets a cash cut in his
hand, instead of having it sewed together.
as physicians do In this country, he pro-
cures i've or six ants, and, holding their
heads near the cash. they bring their laws
together in biting the flesh, and thus pull
the two sides of the cash together. Then
the Indian pinches off the bodies OF the
ants and leaves their heads clinging to
the cash, which is held together until the
wound is perfectly healed.
