ALL HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE,

One of the greatest samaritans in
this city is Madam F. F. Duke,
who i'll a quiet way has done a
great deal to alleviate the suferings
of humanity, both in the way of
almsgiving and by her superior
medical treatment. Her latch
string has always hung on the the
out side to the poor and needy, and
while the paupcr often turns empty
handed from the palace gate, his
hand is never extended in vain to
this charitable woman.

Spectacle.

CHICAGO, May At was 10 o'clock
.. m. when the Columbian guards chased
the last straggler out of the worlds
fair grounds and the White City, which
all day has been the scene OF busy
activity haunted by myriads OF people
and honored by the presence OF the
chief executive of the nation, was left
to silence and solitude. 1t was great
day-big with the fulfillment OF many
hopes and aspirations which began
under towering skies, eliminated in the
opening of the exposition by the presl-
dent of the United States and ended
in the scintillating glare of myriads OF
electric lights which flashed from the
mighty buildings along the lagoons.
No Hitch in the Programme.
There was no hitch in the programme
as finally arranged. The distinguished
descendant of the great admiral, in
whose honor the spectacle was inaugur-
ated, was escorted from the Auditorium
hotel to the Lexington, where President
Cleveland and his suite were in waiting,
and the two parties combined were
taken in procession through miles OF
streets, lined with cheering thousands,
to the grounds of the exposition. There
the formal exercises were gone through

and made flying trip through the

tour of the exposition he was thoroughly
tired out and the rest of the time until
the departure of his special train for
Washington was spent in his car, where
he received his personal friends and
those who could pass the colored porter
at the door.
1t was cloudy all afternoon but no
rain fell, ard the South Side walks and
streets, while they were by no means
models of cleanliness so far as the alb
sence of mud was concerned, were in
good condition for active pedestrians.
The crowd did not mind the mud any
how, and from noon until the last gate
was closed the broad avenues were alive
with throngs moving from one to an
other of the big buildings and sweeping
through the Midway Plaissance in an
unbroken current. The number of
people present is placed at 430. 900.

Death Trap mt Duluth.

DULUTH, June 22.-The Bunnal block,
large frame building on Lake avenue, was
totally destroyed by fire ut midnight with
n loss of at least four lives and about $40
600 worth of property. The upper story
of the building, which was used for dwell
ing purposes, proved Il veritable death trap.
Heroic efforts We're made by the firemen
to arouse and rescue the sleeping inmates,
but the flames spread with such rapidity
that they could not all be gotten from the
building
When the fire department arrived at the
scene they found frantic and half-craZed
women and children endeavoring to escape
from the front entrance. But escape in
this direction was impossible for the door
had been completely blocked by some one
throwing huge trunk from above. Lad
ders were then raised but the flames soon
cut of all exit. One young woman was
seen to appear at one of the upper windows
and cry for help. A ladder was hoisted,
but before she could be reached the I'M
fortunate woman uttered n piercing shrek
and fell back into the roaring flames.
The building collapsed when least ex-
pected, and surrounded as they were with
live electric light wires the work for the
firemen was unusually dangerous. Fire
man Lieutenant Madden was quite Sc
verely injured.
Four bodies were recovered from the
smoking ruins. They are: Mrs. Mary
Ford, aged 80 years: Robert Ford. aged 6
years; Mrs. Elizabeth Meagher, aged IS
years; Celia Meagher, aged 33 years. 1t
is thought there are one or two others in
the ruins. Mrs. Ford was cook in the
restaurant on the ground floor. Mrs
Meagher was SeamstresS and leaves four
young children behind her.

Talking with the President.

When the president is interested and
is really giving caller or callers his ear
nest attention, he will rest each one of
his hands carelessly above the hip, will
smile, answer questions and ask all
about the subject matter. If the visitors
hang on too long, the president will be-
gin to slide his hands down and swing
his arms to the rear just little bit.
That means he is getting tired If he
puts his hands entirely behind his big
body so you can't see them, then it is
time for the congressman and Office seek
ers to cut the conversation short. If
they do not, the president then locks his
hands behind him, closes his lips and
frowns gently, which to the observant
caller means that the time has arrived
for disappearing. -Cor. Charleston News
and Courier.

Believers In Luck.

There are as many superstitious PEG.
pie in the world today as there ever
were, and the belief in signs, charms and
omens has by no means passed away. A
charming young married woman has
won almost all the prizes at the progress
i've cuchre parties she has attended dur
ing the past season. She plays well; but,
as friend told her, 1.-THE best players
have to hold good cards to win" At the
end of the season she told what she
thinks has been the cause of all her luck.
81 never fail to cut my finger nails be-
fore breakfast every Monday morning"
she said, 'and that is my magical charm
against bad luck for the whole week."
A pretty little woman who was visit
ing here from u neighboring town looked
admiringly at her own dainty fingers
and anxiously inquired "if filing would
not do as well, for cutting the nails in
jures them So" but the lucky one was
positive it would not, and the pretty
nails would have to be sacrificed if their
owner wished to win. One of the best

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING
Death In a Terrible Form In a
Crowded Circus Tent.
DULUTHs DREADFUL DEATH TRAP

Many Remarkable Fatalities Result From
tion at the Awful Sights Caused Panics
Which Added to the List of Casualties.
ST. PAUL, June 22-During n severe
thunder storm at River Falls, Wis, just
over the Minnesota line, lightning struck
the center pole to the circus tent of Ring
ling Brothers. Seven people were killed
instantly, and quite number injured,
none of the latter fatally.
The killed are: o. a. Dean, Eugene Rey
nolds, n carpenter; 14-year-old son of o. p.
Virgins, 12-year-old son of Curtis AL
drich, j. A. Glendening, town clerk of Oak
Grove, and an unknown boy.
The greatest CONSERVATION followed. The
rain continued falling in great sheets and
the bodies of the dead were soaked through
before they could be removed. AS soon as
possible Ringing Brothers and their EN-
ployes did everything in their power to
alleviate the condition of the wounded
The dead were taken down town and laid
out on the floor of the engine house, where
they were, with the exception of the un-
known boy, identified in few minutes
after their arrival. The scene as relatives
identified their dead was distressing One
elderly gentleman, the father of young
Dean, tainted and was carried out of the
engine house
The clothing on some of the dead was
torn in shreds. while others presented no
eternal evidences of the fatality except
the awful stare and fixed, rigid features.
The number of wounded is estimated all
the way from 10 TO 80. Most of them were
taken home as soon as possible, and are
now doing well. The presence of mind of
the Ringlings and their employees pre-
vented stampede which undoubtedly
would have been attended with still greater
fatalities. The crowd was held in check
and the dead aud wounded removed as
soon and as quietly rs possible
