Made Seasick by an Elephant,

Clara Qualitz, the premiere dan
scuse, is very SuperStitiOus and believes
that animals are bad luck with
company.
'Five years ago." said she, "when

World in Eighty Days company. we
carried an elephant. believe he
was loaned by Foregaugh's Circus
At first it took six men with spears
to make him go on the stage. but it
didn't last very long Inside of ten
days he knew his cue as well as any
member of the company, and then
there was trOubIe
"Miss Rose Watson, who played
the part of princess, had to make
her entrance seated on the elephant,
the orchestra had to play ten bars of
music before the elephant and the
princess came on the stage. Just the
second the music would start the ele-

God enough.


most filled with love-
STAR dust is not soul food. The
bread of life is Christ.
GETTING rid of Gods man is not
getting rid Of Gods truth.
THE only way to keep clear OF sin
IS to keep close to Christ
LOVE never complains that the
price it has to pay is COO much.
THE more others are untrue the
more God needs loyalty in us.
A PREACHER with a warm heart
will not long have cold church.
IT is an awful thing to seek God
ana not do it with the whole heart.
IT never makes the day any
brighter to growl at the cloudy
weather.
You can always be happy if you
are willing to rejoice with Others.
The devil gets the man who puts
III starting for Heaven until to-mor-
row.
WHEN you want to walk straight
yourself don't watch somebody else's
feet.
THE man who seeks his reward in
this world never gets a price that
suits him.
You can tell how much people love
the Lord by the kind of company they
keep
EVERYTHING not fully consecrated
to God Is something the devil still
has claim on.
THE trouble with the man who
knows nothing is that he is the last
to find it out
No MATTER what the devi! says,
believe what God says, and peace will
be the result.
GOD says He loves us. and there is
nothing we can do to please Him
better than to believe it.
HAD Christ died a natural death
there would have been no necessity
for his resurrection.
GIVE some people mountain-mOv-
ing faith and everybody else's land
would soon be covered with hills.
THERE is this difference between a
wise man and fool; A fools mis-
takes never teach him anything.
PEOPLE have to be living very near
to the throne before they can enjoy
having their faults pointed out.
IT will help you to be more like
Christ to remember that every man
on earth needs you for brother.
As LONG as a trashy newspaper is
made welcome in home. God will
not undertake to keep the devil out.
No PREACHER can preach as God
wants him to preach who writes his
sermons on the head of his flour bar
rel.
IT may be that money will over
come the world. but it takes religion
pure and undehled to overcome the
devil.
THE wickeder man is the harder
he will try to persuade himself that
his conduct is prompted by a good
motive.
THE preaching that has Christ in
it always sends somebody away from
the church with determination to
do better.
The kind of preaching a wording
likes Is that which will permit him
to keep on living in sin and still feel
that he is safe.

Crashed Into the Pier.

CHICAGO, July l3-The arrival of the Viking ship at the Van Buren street pier was marked by an accident that came within an ace of proving the second horror of the week. The small pleasure steamer Imperial, having just taken aboard some 40 or more people for a northbound trip, was hit by the big steamboat Arthur Orr, which came rapidly in behind and crashed full in on the little boat, driving it into the landing for distance of over 30 feet with a force that made the crunchinR of the timbers audible couple of blocks away.
 The pier at the time was crowded with people, and their escape was little short of miraculous. One man. name unknown, was caught between the boat and the tim bers. and his lower limbs from the hips crushed almost to n jelly.
 Several others received contuSions of the hands. feet and limbs, but not so serious as to prevent their hobbling away to the nearest drug stores, where they were treat ed. HenriCh Hanson, Mrs. A.

 The accident caused a mCmentary panic 'Tnong the thousands of spectators, and a.i the police on duty on the viadurt were ma~>cd on the pier to prevent n crash. The iTjuU d man was removed in an ambulance to the county hospital.

REPORT OF PROGRESS RECEIVED.
The Water Supply Committee Adopts the
 ThIrty-SIx Inch PIps

Thirty-SIx Inch Pipe.
 The water supply committee held another meeting last evening to recon slider it's former action and to adopt the thirty-six main as voted by the council. F. B. Rice of the committee to pre- pare form of bond, reported that the investigations of the committee had shown that the sole authority to act on the matter rests with the common coun- cil. The law in this case also fixes the denomination of the bonds at $500 each. This denomination does not suit local bankers, who object to a bond less than $l, ,000. Again the law fixes the interest at not more than four per cent and financiers say that they cannot at present be fioated at less than four and half per cent. One banker had ad- vised that work on the new supply be postponed until the financial outlook was better.
 Mayor Webster informed the commit tee that the city has now on hand $1S5,- 900 which could be used to take up temporary loans or might be used in the preliminary work of establishing a new water supply.
 It was the expressed sentiment of the committee that local parties should fur nish the blank bouds if they could do so as advantageously as out of town firms
 
 bonds, however, until the council meets It was then voted to rescind the vote adopting a thirty inch pipe and the fol- lowing was passed.
 "Voted, that we adopt a thirty-six inch pipe for the main pipe from the new reservoir to the corner of Exchange place, pursuant to the vote of the com mon council"
 The council voted to build an eighty I fonf 1aF, hrtt hn there is some misapprehension in this | matter and the attention of the council | will be called to it at the next meeting. The committees intention was that a dam | be constructed on the basis of an eighty foot elevation, but it was intended that | it be built over a sixty five foot eleva- tion at the present.
 City Engineer Cairns reported to the committee as follows: "We are pushing the work diligently and meeting with general success. The north side is all as solid as anything ever was, now ap- pears. It could not be improved on. On the other side a packet of soft slate | was found and several hundred yards of it were removed. Hard pan has now been reached and this side also will soon be in prime condition for the dam.

We have an excellent working force of four foremen, ab )ut seventy Iaborers and eight horses, and no contractor could work more economically. The running expenses for this preliminary work will be be tween $3,000 and S4, ,000 month."

The Popular Actress Again succumbs te
 Mental Weakness.

 ATLANTIC CITY, July Is.-Miss Emma Vaders, the actress, who for several years was Booths lea,ling lady and afterward served in the same capacity for Joseph Jefferson. while guest at the Florida House in this city, was attacked with in sanity in a mild form, induced by over study. She was to have gone out with Thomas w. Keene. beginning her duties on Aug. 2S, and was studying hard the role she was to assume.
 Her weakened condition. induced by tho excessive amount of brain work, caused her physician to warn her against indulg- ing in ocean bathing. but Sunday morning she took dip in the ocean and immediate ly after attended services at the Catholic church. During the ceremony she suddenly tainted and was assisted over to her hotel by several gentlemen and a Mrs. Miller. She had another attack Monday morning and was unconscious for some time. She rallied sufficiently by Tuesday to go out walking. but while on Pacific avenue she dropped over and was assisted home by @ policeman.
 Yesterday her violence alarmed the other guests of the hotel, and the services of & policeman were called into acquisition. His presence seemed to quiet her, and she :almed down somewhat.
 In the meantime a friend had notified Miss Vader's father, and he had come down from Philadelphia He secured a carriage and took his daughter to the Duff fington cottage, where she could enjoy the quiet and rest not obtainable in hotel.
 The attacks of weakness have been prev alent ever since two years ago, when she fell in a faint on the stage'of the Star thea ter, New York, while rehearsing as leading lady of Joseph Jefferson. She was obliged to give up that engagement, but she still sticks to her determination to begin work with Keene on Aug. 2S

and about the same time Parrott signed 6 Chicago contract. This was very mixed up state of affairs, but President Young of. the National board has decided that the Gin cinnati club paid $500 for Parrott's release in perfectly regular manner and is en- titled to his services.
 Parrott made a very good record during his career as pitcher of the Birmingham club, and while he has not displayed any remarkable prowess since he found berth in the National league and American asso- ciation he is a valuable acquisition for Gin cinnati on account of the present pitcher famine. There is said to be a possibility that the games Parrott participated in while a member of the Chicago club may be thrown out as illegal.

 The Warehouse Ruins Threaten the
 Health of the Vicinity.
 CHICAGO, July 13.-Recent developments, together with the demands of Coroner Mo Hale, have at last stirred up the depart ment of works, and Chief Burnham had from 100 to l5o men at work upon the ruins today. The debris is being carted away as fast as removed by as many teams as are available, and it is thought that the bot tom of the mass will be reached and re- moved by tonight. It is to be deplored that three nights have passed without the work going on. During this time the meats, Holsters, clans, etc, in the ruins have been decaying rapidly and the stench arising from the ruins is at times unbear- able.
 If the ruins are not cleared away by this evening it is said the health authorities will take the matter in hand, as the odor is sickening the lodgers in the hotels just outside the grounds on Stony Island ave nue. and many of them have threatened to depart.
 The list of the victims still increases The last body recovered from the ruins of the cold storage building swelled the death total to 15, with a large area of debris still unexplored. The remains were those of Ralph A. Drummond, constructing engi- neer of the Cold Storage company, and were recovered by the victim's two broth CTS.
 It is known that at least two or three and possibly half dozen more bodies must be yet in the ruins, as the Michigan brewer, the amateur elevator boy and Columbian guard are still missing.
 It appears probable that the families of the victims of the fire will not want for the necessities of life. About $13.0O0 has been subscribed and subscriptions are still rapidly coming in. It is hoped the total may be swelled to $100, 900, as the board of trade promises Sl0,OOO, and various large companies have suF ,cription lists well un- der way.
