LsRerdsmain That Failed to Work,

The bright young man-who isn't so
very young either-was fortunate enough

Deacon Huggum's young ladies' Bible

ence as to try and make himself agroea-

The speaker of the evening pleaded
most earnestly the cause of sweet chari-
ty and made the last remaining quarter
and nickel burn il the scribe's pocket
When the deadly contribution box be-
gan its gyrations in his isle, the news
paper representative began to chuckle
under the mellowing influence of hap
py thought. He would execute neat
little piece of legerdemain with that
quarter and . cent piece, and while
properly impressing his fair neighbors
with the larger coin would really drop
in the smaller
He held the Quart,r daintily between
his thumb and finger and pressed the
5-cent piece between his third finger and
his palm. There was click of a coin
in tho bottom of the box, rather I'M

smile on the reporters face.
A second later tie young man started
as if he had been shot and turned ex-

two seats behind him.
He had dropped in the quarter!

CHICAGO. Aug, ,lS.-Ihousands of peo-

The horrible ceremony took place on a

thongs passed through strips Of flesh

the loose end of the thongs and using
them as reins drove the others around
the float as if they were driving horses,
causing the most exquisite agony. Fin

A STRUGGLE FOR WORK.
Denver Experiences Sadly Suggestive
Scene That Has u Moral.

Scene That Has Moral.
DENVER, Aug. 17.-Wildly exciting
scenes characterized the commencement
Of work on the sewers yesterday morn
ing and for a time riot seemed GER
tainty, so eager were the men to get
work.
It was announced that ground would
be broken on the North side sewer at
Nineteenth and Platte streets this morn
ing and by 7 o'clock there were fully
1000 men scattered about, each anxious
to be engaged. There we're several hun
dred Italians in the crowd and threats
were heard on all sides. The general
expression was that il the foreigners
were gwen work in preference to the
hungry American citizens and men who
had families a bloody war would ensue.
About I o'clock team was driven up
with a load of picks and shovels and i'm
mediately there was a rush and a scram-
BILE to see who would be the first to get
hold of a tool Of some kind ard get to
work. There was no waiting for or
ders Several Italians got hold of picks
and shovels but they were not per
mittcd to 90 to work. Some Of them
had their tools taken from them by the
Denver workmen.
After great confusion things quioted
down and it was found that only forty
of the 1900 could he given work. The
remainder of the crowd, sadly dlsap-
pointed, disappeared but without caus
ing any trouble Although the wages
paid tor labor is but $40 per day happy
smiles wrcated The faces Of those who
had been fortunate enough to get to
work, and the energy that was displayed
by the laborers was surprising. Later

MYSTERY CLEARED Ip.
Physicians Remember that Foot Was
Amputated and Buried.

Physicians Remember that II Foot Was
Amputated and Buried.
About three years ago an engineer on
the Great Northern by the name of
Markham was thrown beneath the
wheels OF his engine while in the yards
here and his right foot was so badly
crushed and cut that amputation at the
ankle joint was determined upon by the
attending surgeons. Drs. Weitman, Cor
con. and Reed, since deceased.
The foot, when severed from the
LIMB. was buried in lot in the block on
the South side in which Finlay Smith
lives. Last Tuesday night, as related in
THE TRIBUNE. Smiths dog, which is un-
accustomed to range far from home,
brought to her pups "a human foot, which
was turned over to the police by Mr..
Smith.
1t was feared by the police that a mur-
der had been committed, but yesterday
DIR. Weitman concluded to look at the
foot. and did so. He found that the
foot had no flesh whatever upon it and
that the bone was covered by dry skin,
such as might be left after being buried
for three years and when he learned the
exact place to which the foot was
brought by the dog at once suspected
that the foot was one that had once be-
longed to Engineer Markham and set to
work to identify it, which he eoon sue
ceeded in doing.
So endeth the mystery. The city de-
tective will not have the opportunity to
add to his fame by unearthing the mur-
derer who hacked his victim to pieces,
and the foot may again repose in peace

The fair has developed some curious
cranks. One Of the most conspicuous is
the gentleman who wants TO write his
name in every register he comes across.
He is generally enthusiastic over his own
state, and makes for the local building
as soon as he arrives ON the grounds.
Once there he first locates the register,
and with IL mighty sweep Of the arm
scrawls an illcgible name across the reg
lister. This duty performed he wanders
into tho next state building, finds the
register there and signs his name again.
All told there must be several hundred
registers III use, for not only are they to
be found in state buildings, but also in
exhibits. One man entered the Mime
sofa building the other day. and as he
signed his name exclaimed: Il guess I've
beaten the record. This is the two hun
dred and fiItieth time I've signed my
name. guess more pcople'll know Jabez
Dorcy after this fair than ever lcnowed
he existed before"
1t is amusing to watch these register
cranlis. One got in tho California build
ing. "Say, boss said he to the sccre-
tary, care these names sent back to be
printed in the papers,

WASHINGTON. Aug. l9.-Secretary Car
Isle sent to the senate today comm i
nication in reply to the resolution re-
questing certain information as to the
redemption of treasury notes issued
under the Sherman act. During the
present month treasury notes issued
under the act of July j $780, amount
ing to s7li,G3G, have been re-
deemed by the government in sill
yer dollars. He added: "In further re-
sponse to the resolution ! have to say
that recently gold coin has been pre-
sented at the office of this department
and silver dollars asked in exchange
therefore, and that the exchange was
not made for the reason that all silver
dollars in the treasury at the time re-
quired under the provisions Of the laws
relating to currency are to be held in
the treasury to cover outstanding silver
certificates and treasury notes issued

Curiositics of Glycerin.

One OF the great advantages Of glycer-
in in its chemical employment is the
fact that it neither frcezcsnor evaporates
under any ordinary temperature. No
perceptiblc loss by evaporation has been
detected at Il temperature less than 200
degrees f.. but if heated intensely
it decomposcs with smell that few
persons find themselves able to endure.
1t burns with II pale flame. similar to
that from alcohol, if heated to about
800 degrees and then ignited. Its uon-
evaporative qualities make the COM
pound of much use as vehicle for hold
ing pigments and colors, as in stamping
and typewriter ribbons, carbon papers
and the like.
If the pure glyccrine be exposed for a
long time to freezing temperature, it
crystallizes with theappearance of sugar
candy, but these crystals being once
melted it is almost an impossibility to
get them again INTO the congealed state.
If little wafer be added to the glycer-
in, no crystallization will take place,
though under sufficient degree of cold
the water will separate and form crys-
tails, amid which the glycerin will re-

What Feed and How Much.

An experienced dairy woman comes
at the question of feeding the cow in
the following breezy way: II have one
fixed belief which nothing can alter,
and that is that so long as the food is
not too rich or concentrated milking
cow should have all she can eat, ex-
cept for the three months previous to
calying. And even then it is quite pos
sible that err in reducing the feed too
much, but am so afraid of milk fever
that / prefer to err, if at all, on the
safe side. Take a lot of cows in pas
ture. Some are soon satisfied and lie
down, while others continue eating, as
though they could never get enough
We don't go out to the pasture with a
scientific book in one hand and stop
those cows from eating and tell them
they have had enough-so much di-
gestible matter, so much starch and so
much fat, etc, and that if they are not
satisfied they ought to be, and have got
to quit. Not at all. We recognize that
the cow is the best judge in the pasture,
and to great extent think she should
be the best judge in the stable, too, il
we are reasonably careful as to what
her ration is composed Of"

Thus Chicago has seen her Columbian
Fourth of July, and it is safe to say
that those who participated in the cell

day and surprisingly free from acct

fortunes, but nothing of very serious
nature occurred at the grounds.
A worlds fair Sunday school building
has just been completed in the environs
of the fair grounds, which is attracting
considerable interest among church
people both here and abroad. 1t is a
beautiful structure, built after the
fashion of the fair buildings, and is a
model of architectural excellence. 1t
is located just across from the fair
grounds on Stony Island avenue, on
the western side, about midway of the
park. The object of the building is to
provide a meeting place for those in
terested in Sunday school work during
the fair. The building will be removed
after the close of the exposition. The
lot on which the structure stands is
