The fugitive Chilean steamer
Itata has been the cause of much
trouble in several Eastern newspa-
per Offices. The majority have SPELL
ed the name "Etata,'' but the Gin
clnnati Enquirer thought to give it
an Aztec flavor by calling the YES
sci the "Itatla.' The Denver Re-
publican man had evidently been
gorged on French politics, for he
called the vessels the "Etats, !"
while sleepy Chicago news edi-
tor fixed it as the "Italia."
The magnitude of the Worlds
Fair continues to increase in res
ponse to demands for space from
various nations. It is estimated
that the buildings will cover at

will cost in the aggregate nearly
ST, 100000. Paris has always
been more successful in her eXhibi-
tons than any other country, hav-
ing %, Jas, 1853 admissions in 1889,
to 9,91O,996 in Philadelphia in
1876, but it is believed that Chi
cago will be a close rival for her
in 1893.

ster in New York who has already
developed a habit Of reading thrill
ling romances, asked permission to
marry one day last week, and
when it was refused him, he stole
S. from his father and eloped with

man who is not able physically to
protect himself from q woman has
no right to marry"
