School children to the number Of 1900
nearly wrecked Odd Fellows hall at
Eighth street and Central avenue late
Tuesday afternoon. AT the closing or
the school four young men distributed
tickets to the pupils of the cathedral
school and the largest three public
schools. The children were informed
that o ticket with 5 cents added would
entitle one to admittance TO an enter
tainment and q valuable prize.
For over an hour in the afternoon chill
dren poured into Odd Fellows hall, each
paying q nickel. Finally a young man
came ont and sang a song so badly that
the little auditors hooted him. At the
same time another man distributed
chewing gum packages to q few in the
audience. The singer stepped into an
anteroom. and the other went out the
door.
Becoming tired of waiting for the next
act, the children finally stormed the stage.
only to find nobody. When they realized
the swindle, they broke out every win
dow, smashed the chairs and wrought
ruin in every possible way.
A detail of police came rushing to the
hall. This gave the children an idea, for
in a body they assailed police headqnar-
tiers until the authorities were in a state
of siege. 1t was late at night when the
young victims reluctantly went home.
No trace was found of the swindlers.
They secured over 500. The hall was
damaged several times that much.-Cn-

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 22.-The Iron
Trade Review this week says: The quiet
ness that usually settles upon the iron
trade In the closing weeks of q year is
upon Ms now. intensified by the tariff
incubus. Yet in mill products it Is EVIL
dent that the volume Of business liz
greater than it was two months ago.
There has been here and there o resump.
tion by a belated agricultural concern,
o few Eastern III shops have taken
orders that will keep them running
most of the winter, and what is
perhaps best proof Of all that
the call for finished material
has been growing-blast furnaces are
making over %, 900 tons more per week
of pig iron than at the same time in Oc-
tober, and the demands of the mills and
foundries are not only equal to it, but
are making a slight inroad upon accum-
ulated stocks. This condition indicates
that although no new undertakings OF
any magnitude are on hand and none
need be looked for, the country's re-
newal demands are constant, and the
staving off process cannot be persisted
in forever.
