A NEW danger, or, rather, an old one noticed. Diphtheria is prevalent among the school children of Detroit, Michi- gan, and the charge is made by. Dr R. s. Farnum of that city that the disease has been spread by interchanging lead pen cils. The board of education furnishes pencils for all the scholars, and the lat ter are not allowed to use any others. The scholars get one pencil to-day and another tomorrow, all the pencils being dropped into a box at the close of school each day. It is no,.,exaggeration to say that the average child using a lead pen cil will put the lead end into it's mouth forty times a.day, and with the pencil going from one child's mouth to another from day to day, it isI easy to see that the practice might become very dangerous, while of.course it is unclean.

THERE is no ground for the published report that visitors to the Worlds fair are to be made the victims of exorbi- tant charges. Competition will be so ex- tensive and sharp as to prevent it. One who climbs to the top of one of the ex- position buildings and surveys the terri tory lying to the north, west and south of Jackson park can easily believe this statement. There, and, indeed in all parts of the city, the amount of build ing which is going on is simply aston iShing. Hundreds of structures to meet Worlds fair demands are being erected. Some of the new hotels are large enough to accommodate several thou sand guests each. By the time the fair opens Chicago will have living accom- modations for not less than 300, ,OOO strangers. Connected with the exposi- tion management is a bureau of public comfort, through the agency of which many thousands of visitors can be di- rected to hotels, apartments, boarding houses, furnished rooms, etc, where they will be comfortably cared for at moderate prices. Eating facilities, both outside the fair grounds and in the numerous restaurants in the exposition buildings, will be so extensive that no one need fear that he will not be able to get all he needs to eat and at reasonable charges.

sion of Ono Of tho Participants.
ST. LOUIS, No, Dec. IA Denver spe-
cial says: Every one is acquainted with
the Malta and the murder OF Chief Hen
Messy, OF New Orleans, which was fol-
lowed by the lynching OF the alleged
murderers. There has been serious
doubt of the guilt OF tho Italians, but
there is now q man in the Arapahoe
Jail who admits that he belonged to the
society and witnessed the murder, ana
from his admission it is evident he took
part in it. Remorse and thoughts OF
tho awful crime have evidently unoal-
anced his mind and he cannot long
keep the dreadful secret, but told 1t
freely to Chief Howe and Officer G. II:
Peterson, Of the police force, in the jail
last night.
He is VIM. Q. sauers, French creole,
and is rather young looking. His story,
is that he roomed with four others OF
the society in dingy portion OF the
city OF New Orleans. He was present
in the quarters at tho meeting when
plots Of revenge, he says, were inside
against tho chief OF police. He heard
their oaths and knew their secrets. he
went with them on the night OF the
murder, and says he was with them
when, under cover, they fired the fatal
shots, and that he participated IN the
retreat. He managed to make his es.
cape but his comrades were captured
and put in jail. He left New Orleans,
and, actuated by remorse, has since
been ;wSianderer, finally arriving in
Denver cSauefs did not tell the names
OF the assassins of Chief Hennessey,
saying that he could not remember
them. His actions. however, belied his
words and would lead to the belief that
he was closely connected with the muir,
der. When asked ii mistake had
been madein lynching the Italian pris-
oners al New Orleans he said that some
OF them we're implicated inthc assassin
alton.
