Etents CT an Evening in Chicago.


There was another explosion of sewer
gas last night in tho electric conduit
which runs along the north side of
Washington street., Commencing with
the manhofe at the corner Of Fifth ave-
nue. and Washington street there were a
series of explosions resembling the BOOM
ing Of cannon. Fire flashed from the
manholes, and the heavy iron covers
were hurled into the air with terrific
force.
The effect on the bystanders and the
cab horses which were anchored around
the corners when the explosions occurred
was terrifying in the extreme. Henry
Oren, a cabman, who stands at the cor
ner of Fifth avenue and Washington
street, was standing almost over the
manhole when the explosion occurred.
The flames from below burned his whis-
kers almost to crisp, and the heavy iron
cover just grazed the top of his cab as it
came down. A deluge of mud was
blown out by the explosion and came
down like q cloudburst raised from the
Chicago river. Mr.. Oren was covered

mud bath probably saved his life, as his
whiskers were burning furiously when
the mudburst settled down on him. Gil
ovanni Maltruchio. hot popcorn vender,
was pushing his cart along La Sale
street and had the left wheel of his cart
on the manhole plate when the explosion
occurred. His cart was almost totally
wrecked. The glass cage in which his
tempting viands were exposed for sale
was shattered into million fragments,
and his popcorn was scattered about for
half a block. Signor Maltruchio escaped
with slight confusion on his left side,
caused by the shaft of his cart as it was
hurled over, and his trousers were burned
nearly to his knees.
There was the same kind of shower
of mud thrown out there as at Fifth
avenue and Washington street. The by

The Long and Short of 1t.

Tom Thumb, when first taken to Eng
land, lodged at the same hotel with La
blache, the great singer. A Russian lady
was very anxious to see Tom Thumb and
went to Egyptian hall for that purpose,
but found that the exhibition was over.
However, she found out his hotel and went
there. She knocked at door, which was
opened by man of colossal proportions.
She started back in some alarm, but was
reassured by the amiable and gracious
manner of the man, who was Lablache. 81
must have made a mistake" said the lady;
sit is Tom Thumb wish to see." Every
well, madam" said the giant, 81 am he."
"You, monsieur? Why, had been told
he was so very little" "Oh," said La
blache, ''that is for the public, but when 1
come home 1 make myself comfortable by
resuming my natural size"
The lady again stammered her astonish-
ment, when Lablache said: Madam, your
suppostion is not very flattering to the
British public. Doyou suppose they would
go in crowds to look at a man for the mere
reason that he was very littleP The inter
esting thing is the transformation; it is
that which attracts people," The lady ad-
mitted that the remark was very reasona-

Indian Relies IN New .Tersev

John Clifford, instructor of botany in
Swarthmore college, Of Pennsylvania,
who has been studying the archaeology
of southern New Jersey for some time
and has found many interesting relics
recently while exploring near Mays
Landing discovered camp ground, the
location of which he keeps profound
secret.
From it he has collected fine variety
of implements and Indian utensils. Re
Gently he found Indian bones, some tor
toise shells, an oddly shaped pipe, a
bushel basket of large, queerly orna-
mented potsherds, Indian plummets, ar
row heads and spear points, jasper
scrapers' bone implements and an awl,
delicately made from jasper, evidently
for punching holes in leather.
Mr.. Clifford is also collecting Indian
food plants, many of which, he claims,
are worthy of cultivation On foot and
by boat Mr.. Clifford has been several
years exploring i'll south Jersey. He has
found and mapped out the principal
camp grounds along the rivers where
the Indians had permanent settlements.
He has already been so amply re-
warded by his discoveries there that he
will continue his searches until the mid
die of next month. The relics he has
found will be given to Swarthmore col.

Papers in Foreign Languages.

An article in a recent number of The
National Journalist states that 1,116
newspapers are printed in foreign Ian
guages in this country. The Germans
head the list with 802, and next come the
Scandinavians with 11S, followed by the
French, who have so; there are 80 in
Spanish, 27 in Bohemian, IS in Polish, 10
in Dutch, 23 in Hebrew and in Welsh;
two each i'll Finnish, Icelandic, Irish,
Swiss, Portuguese, Slavonic, Chinese,
Lithuanian, Russian and Armenian; one
each in Hungarian, Greek, Cherokee
and Creek. No better illustration than
this polyglot array could be given of the
varied elements which help to make up
this nation. 1t also argues a higa aver
age standard of intelligence in our for

Payment by Results.

While on one of his European tours
Coquelin, the actor, was in Constantinople
at the same time as Mr.. Vanderbilt, who
invited him to come and recite some of his
monologues on board the latter's yacht.
There was most exclusive audience, con-
sisting only of Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt.
The rate of payment had been previously
arranged by Mr.. Vanderbilt in a letter,
which ran as follows:
"You will cause our tears to flow six
times, and shall not think it too much if
you charge me hundred dollars each
time. Besides you will make us laugh
twelve times, and considering the depress-
ing state of the weather we are now having
am persuaded ought not to pay you less
than $500 every time"
After the performance Mr.. Coquelin pre-
sented the following bill:
Mr.. Vanderbilt to Mr.. Coquelin, DR..
Six tears at 500 each. ach.................... 5000

Thrown Down 900 Feet from His Saddle.
Alexander Mcleod, well known citi-
zen of Custer county, left Salmon City
for the mountains, following the Lees
burg trail. He rode horse and led a
pack mule. Something frightened the
animals, and they ran away. Mcleod
could not stop the nladdened brutes, and
they careened along the dangerous trail
at a tremendous pace. Coming to an
abrupt turn in the trail, McLeod's horse
stopped SO suddenly that he,was pitched
out of his saddle and over the brink of
a precipice 800 feet high. His body
was crushed-as fat as board and every
bone was broken. Tom Finnigan and
Harry Norfolk, the men who found the
disfigured corpse, built q signal fire,
which is the mountain peoples method
of communication. and mon went from

Songs of Sunrise Land, by Clinton
Scollard. This volume contains a bum
die of poems, suggested by a journey
into Egypt, Syria and Greece, all OF
them of remarkable grace of form and
thought, breathing the spirit of the
Orient in their dreamy fancy, eastern,
in fact in thought and substance as we'll
as in name. Mr.. Scollard ranks high
among the minor poets, not only of
America but of the English speaking
world, thanks to his truly poetic gifts of
Thought, observation and conception,
and to the uniformly tasteful and nearly
perfect form of his verse.
