A STREET TRAGEDY.
The Mystery of Blockade Due to an
Ordinary Event.


What is it,"
"Who is hurts'
ANYBODY been run over?"
us il Il man in a fit"
High above the ccaScless rumble and
roar of traffic rose human voices i'll anxious
inquiry, and the dense throHg at the inter
section of State and Madison grew deiIseI
still. 1t was Just before sunset, and the
mighty heart of Chicago's business center
throbbed with the feverish energy thut
marked the closing hours OF another day
of toll and the hUrrying hoGieward OF rest
less, eager thousands The swiftly moving
streams Of humanity that are wont to meet
in eddving whirls in this dizzy vortex and
then diverge and move onward again, each
in its destined course, had suddenly be
come blocked, and chaos reigned. Pushed
toward the common center by the ever hur-
ryiug thrungs afout, in carriages and Ia
street cars and unable TO eXtricate them
selves, men, women and children g;lnpeo
for breath, and the crowd in the streets
and on the sidewalks Overlooked into the
alleys ard surged hither and yOn like the
resistless ebb and flow of Il mighty sea.
A policeman on the outskirts of the dense
throng climbed a lamppOst and from his
elevated position surveyed the scene.
Give him airr' he shouted sternly, wav
ing his club. Give him air!'
"What is the matter;" inquired hun
dred voices as he climbed down.
Il don't know" he answered, and with
gloomy, lowering brow he strobe along the
street, disappeared down a short flight OF
stairs. from which few moments later he
emerged. wiping his mouth, and in the
same stern, uncompromising way he
walked n block farther and sent in n fire
alarm.
Meanwhile the surging multitude at
State and Madison grew every moment
more appalling and ineXtricable.
Something must be done.
Fiercely elbowing his way through the
crowd, a newspaper reporter at last was
seen bearing down toward the center or the
compact mass. His hat was off, his hail
fiying in the wind and his face was deathly
pale, but with set teeth and dilated nostrii'
he tore his way along, thrusting to the
right and left every one who opposed his
progress.
Reaching the center Of the throng h'
seized two individuals by their arms, anc
in the same resoIute, fearless way opened
n passage for them to the outside, and, a'
if by magic, the vast concourse dissolved
the converging streams of humanity
whirled and eddied as before, and the busI
ness heart of the great city throbbed again
The reporter had conjectured rightly
] The blockade was caused by two womeI
who had net in the exact center OF thu
street and stopped to tell each other thu
troubles they were having with their hlret
pirls-ChicagO Tribune.

Tn. Discovery of the Gulf s;renm.

Ponce de Leon, while on his famous
search for the fountain of youth, made
the discovery of the gulf stream. The
whalers Of New England were the first
to gain a fairly accurate knowledge OF
the limits OF the current between Amer
lea and Europe by following the haunts
of the whales, which were found north
of one line and south of another, but
never between the two. This, they rea-
soned, was the gulf stream current.
Benjamin Franklin received this IN
formation from the whalers and pub
lished it on a chart for the benefit of the
mail packets plying between England
and the colonies. The chart was first
issued about 171O, but was not accepted
by the English captains. Before 1t came
to be generally known and used the
trouble between England and the col
onies began, and Franklin, knowing the
advantage the knowledge would be to
the British naval officers, suppressed 1t
all he could until hostilities ceased

Prices of Rare Coins.

The bronze cents, such as are in clrcu-
lation now, We're first coined in 1864.
None Of them bears premium except
the issue &C 1871, which is valued at 3
cents. Some Of the old fashioned half
cents are high priced. On basis OF
.good" condition the half cent of 1876 IS
worth Sl5. The issues of 1881, 1885, 1910,
1913, 1919 and 1851 fetch s. each, while
those of 1898, 1895 and 1902 we pay 81
apiece for. None of the nickel cents Is
worth premium except that Of 1896,
with a flying eagle, which you can sell
for 81. A > cent nickel of 1871 - worth
81, and Il nickel cent piece Of 1873 has
a market value Of - cents; there IS no
premium on those of any other year.
Nickel cent pieces 1917 we pay 20
cents each for, while those Of 1873, 1857,
1885 and 1886 are worth cents eachi
none of the others bears premium. If
you are so lucky as to get hold OF a
bronze . cent piece for 1873 you Will
have no difficulty i'll disposing OF 1t for
81. but no other issues have any extra
value.-Interview in Washington Star.
