Since the days commenced growing
short and the mornings dark, there has
been much complaint among the patrons
of the REGISTER about the frequent loss
OF their favorite morning paper. The
complaint IS general, but it is specially
annoying on Main street from the bust
ness centre as lar north as Seventh
street. That the majority OF these COM
plants are caused by thefts, the REG
lister has no doubt. II patrons will
kindly provide a safe place for the de-

will help materially.

for the arrest and conviction of any one
caught stealing the REeIsTER.

MOUNDsvILLE.

What might have been a very serious
accident occurred at the Marshall
County Bank corner yesterday morning
about ten o'clock. G. A. Jones e Sons
bakery wagon was driving up Seventh
street, when they met Riggs Bros,
we'll drilling apsrtus, which was COM
ing footing down the street, at lively
rate. Mr.. Jones attempted to drive in
to the side street to allow the rig to
pass but the horse became unmanage-
able and dashed into the electric light
pole, which completely demolished the
wagon tongue, and threw the horses
down, where they became tangled in
the harness which kept them from
running of. Council should enact an
ordinance to prohibit steam engines
from running on the paved streets as
they are calculated to scare horses at
any time, and also TO do great amount
of damage to the street.

HELPING PIrTsBURG's POOR.


Fifteen hundred Men Surge About the
city BaIl-Many Men at Work I'm the
Parks
PITTsBURe, PA, December 19.-Be-
tween !, 500 aud 1000 unemployed men
called at the City Hall to-day and APP
piled for work In the parks at ten cents
an hour. 1t was an orderly crowd but
all we're anxious to secure employment.
The surging crowd broke down the
storm doors leading into the depart
ment of public works. Chief Clerk
Benjamlne, made speech telling them
that there would be no orders for work
given there but to go to the station
house, but the men did not seem to
understand him. The police were then
called but Superintendent OMera
would not allow force to be used and
the officers were powerless. The men
we're finally convinced that they could
get work at the station house and they
quietly left. Over 1000 are at work in
the parks and oil worthy applicants will
be furnished employment. The crowd
to-day was made up all most entirely OF
native Americans. Subscriptions Tor
the payment of the men are coming ia
freely, aud it is thought the funds will
be ample to keep them all employed
until the times improved and the mills
and factories resume.

HUMAN NATURE.
An Interesting Study at the
Worlds Fair.
REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL RACES

The Human Interrogation Point To BE
Observed All Over the Grounds and
Buildings-Do Not BE Backward About
Asking Questions When Your Curiosity
Is Aroused.
WORLDS FAIR, May IS. - Especial -
No part Of the big show is more interest
ing than the crowds which visit it. When
you read In the papers that there were
thirty, forty or fifty thousand paid nd.
missions to the fair on a given day you
must not imagine that these figures con-
vey an idea of the size of the multitude to
be seen wandering about the grounds and
buildings. In addition to the paid admis-
sions there are all the time fifty to seven
ty-1ve thousand persons within the gates
who did not pay. They are the exhibitors
and their assistants, watchmen, workmen,
newspaper representatives, the guards,
firemen, guides and rolling-chair men;
also, commissioners, directors, both do
nestle and foreign, and their families.
Even on the dullest days we have as a
rule upwards of 100000 human beings
within the enclosure. But there is no
crowding. The great exposition and its
mammoth buildings swallow them up as
a field of corn takes in the butterflies
which are attracted by it's green and glis.
tening fragrance.
1t is curious to watch these crowds as
they go on their sightseeing rounds. If
you want to study human nature this is a
pretty place in which to do it. You be-
hold here not only representatives of all
races and countries, but about as great a
variety of human animals as it is possible
to get together in any one spot on the
earth's surface. The throng presents one
characteristic which stands out strongly
above all others. 1t is such a conspicuous
thing that after a day passed on the
grounds one goes away with a vivid recol-
lection of having seen a large section of
humanity in a certain posture. The pos
ture is that of an interrogation point.
Wherever you walk or ride or go, in the
buildings or without, it is the same. A
specimen of the race to which we all be-
long leaning forward, a look of expectancy
upon his face, the word of inquiry tremb-
ling upon his lips. This is a world in
which it seems one-half is put here for the
purpose of asking questions and the other
half for answering them. Later in the
summer, when the crowds get bigger, the
proportions will change. When the daily
number of visitors rises to three or four
hundred thousand, as it is expected to rise
in September and October, we shall see
each exhibitor, guard or other permanent
resident of the White City surrounded by
seven or eight strangers within the gates,
while streams of inquiries and answers
are sent running to and fro.
This is as it should be. This vast expo
sition is placed here for the education of
the people. They are invited to come that
they may see and learn. 1t is the right of
