cHlcAGo'S TALL TOWER.
It's Flag VIII Fiutter In the Breeze f.doo

(Chicago Herald.l

Proctor's tower is to be the greatest attrec-
ton on the lake front during the Worlds
Columbian Exposition. What Eiffeps trl-
umph was to the Paris Exposition Proc
tors majestic structure will be TO the
Worlds Fair. It's symmetrical proportions
will dwarf any other attraction on the lake
front and constitute one of the most
striking features of the Exposition.
The tower will be LOO feet high, and
above the lottiest girders flagstaff is to
ascend 800 feet, so that the flag that snaps
in the stiff breezes from Lake Michigan
will be /, 400 feet above the base.
The tower is designed to sustain 100000
persons on the five platforms that are ar
ranged ut intermediate points between
base and pinnacle. These are reached by
six swift elevators. One OF the advantages
the tower possesses over Nj. Eiffeps inven-
ton is that the elevators ascend a perpen-
dicular shAt, and are not hauled up an
incline half the distance. But what is re-
garded as O greater triumph IL the striking

MARRIED SEVENTEEN TIMES.
Papa DuvaI Is Not the Only Enterprising
Citizen baltimore Can Boast.

baltimore Americana
A case of charity that was not charity
has Just come TO light. The persons who
were interested in what they thought was
a good work are very much cha2rined at
being taken in and done for by family OF
professional swindlers. Some time ago q
number of ladies interested in the work OF
the Western Branch of the Charity Organi-
cation Society had their attention called
10 the apparent restitution of family in
Southwest Baltimore.
The mother told how the father drank
and neglected his five children. He would
not provide for them. As they appeared
to be suffering morally as well as physi-
cally some of the ladies induced the man
10 reform. He went to woll-known min
lister and made all sorts of promises, de-
claring that he was tired OF the life that
he had led and wanted TO turn over new
leaf.
he told the minister that he was not
married to the woman who bore his chill
dren and asked for advice. His children
were growing up and had never been chris
tened, aud he thought his reform would
be compl etc il he had them baptized and
put on tho right road through life. The
minister ritied the man and encouraged
him in his efforts to lead new life.
All the ladies we're very much gratihed at
the apparent sincerity SHOWN Dy the man,
and they made arrangements TO have the
parents married and the children chris
tened. They bought and made the
little ones clothing. gave them money.
and rugged out the bride and groom In
new clothes. The wedding was celebrated
with great ecIa. The children were
christened.
Something about the mans actions in
duced the minister to look into his past
record. He looked. The more he looked
the further he looked. and it soon became
apparent that he, as well as the good
hearted ladies. had been duped most shame
fully.
The investigation disclosed the fact
that the man and woman had been mar
ried seventeen times, and the children had
been christened twenty-nine times. The
parents were too strong to work anything
except those charitably inclined. Their
mode Of operation was simple enough.
They would live in one section OF the
city long enough TO get good start in the
world by getting married and having the
children christened. Then they would
skip to another locality and go through
the same performance.

Now, such a man leaves no posthumous

When he dies oil his brilliant writing is
