In the old "Boy Blue or blue
Stocking Age" there was society

This was literary club; one Of the
leading ideas was conversational and
literary improvements. The leading
attainment was to express everything
in the most complicated way; the
longest word was always to be used,
1t was regarded as vulgar to say it

was precipitation of celestial humid

most meaningless, complicated and
bombastic sentences, was awarded the
highest degree of perfection.

Grand, marvellous, incomprehensible," !"
was the verdict of President Cleveland as
expressed TO President Higinbotham after
his first visit to the Worlds fair.
The last nail in the Woman's building
was not driven Saturday afternoon. The
ceremony will take place this afternoon
and some irreverent rascal of man sug-
gests that Mrs. Palmer should have bot
tie of arnica in her pocket.
Children tugged at the ropes that were
used to place the Liberty bell in position
Saturday, and will tell their children
about it some of these days.
Saturday evening the presidential party
visited the spectacle America" kiralfy' s
masterpiece, at the Auditorium. No no
tice was given and Manager Adams gave
the party his box Secretary and Mrs.

pied as a lodging house conducted by
Mrs. Judson. She and a young servant
girl named Maggie Bailey were the only
women in the building The dodgers were
of the poorer class of laborers and mechan-
les, about twenty of whom occupied the
various rooms upstairs. The building
was veritable fire-trap, consisting of
winding Railways and dark landings,
some of the rooms being withuot windows.
30 quickly did the fire spread that the un-
fortunate victims were caught like rats In
a trap. The names of the dead are as fol-
lows: Michael Hines, tran sient lodger;
Michael Lee, of Chicago, stove molder,
John Morgan. stove molder, residence un-
known: T. G. Schumann, carpet weaver;
Joseph Swindler, of Burlington, plasterer;

Az were burned in a shocking and al
most Unrecognizable manner. Morgan,s
feet were burned off and Schuman's body
almost fell to pieces when removed. Mag
gle Bailey, the servant, slept in room
Just back of the office downstairs The
fire started in her room. She says she was
awakened by some man pounding on her
door and telling her to get up; that it was
time to get breakfast. She asked what
time it was, and she says she heard him
,
He then answered that it was O'Clock,
and rushed out of the hall, slamminG the
door after him. Almost instantly a tongue
of flame darted under the door, and ran
across her room, as if following stream
of oil. Without dressing she rushed up
stairs and aroused Mrs. Judson.
Had to Jump from the Window.
The flames spread rapidly and the two
women had to leap from window to the
pa vement below in their night clothes.
| Meanwhiles a son of Mrs. Judson had
rush ed to the doors of the various sleeping
rooms attempting to arouse the occupants.
! He thus saved a number of lives, but many
! had narrow escapes, almost all having to
, leap from the windows in their night
! clothes. The bodies were at once removed
to the morgue, where hundreds of curious
| people viewed the sickening sight. There
are several suspicious circumstances con-
| nected with the fire which the coroner will
| Investigate e. The loss of the building and
| contents was probably $4,000. with small
| insurance

ALTON, Ills, May This vicinity has
been visited by hail storm the like of
which has never been eQualed around here.
In this city. the hail stones were like wal
nuts, but this was Insignificant compared
to those that fell north of here. At Month

south and west sides were all destroyed by
hailstones as large as teacups. One farmer
is reported to have found one specimen
measuring over five inches in diameter.

DESTRUCTION IN INDIANA.
Richmond Visited by Blow That
Wrecks Many Houses.

RICHMOND, Ind, May IA fierce storm
of wind, accompanied by floods of rain,
binding lightning, and ear-breaking thun-
der, swept over this city and vicinity, play
ing havoc with the forests and wrecking a
number of buildings here. The west end
OF one school building was torn to pieces
and the whole house unroofed. Mrs. Sallie
Whites house and Jerre Bakers residence
vert unroofed and badly damaged; Benja-
min Dugdale's barn was diSmantled and
partially wrecked; small outhouses were
turned over or torn to pieces, nearly every
house was partially unroofed or damaged
in some way; many windows were crushed
in and the sashes torn out; fences were
thrown down and the rails scattered. =
A vast volume of water fell and the coun-
try is flooded. The people were greatly
frightened and some of them We're nervous
ly prostrated in consequence. At Foun-
taine City the rainfall was equally heavy,
but the wind was lighter. Three miles
north of Fountaine City, however, the
wind tore up trees and leveled fences, be-
sides blowing off the gable and roof of the
Hopewell school house. A perfect deluge
OF rain fell to the northwest.
INDIANAPOLIS, May 1.-Severe storms
bordering on the cyclone have swept over
| eastern Indiana, wrecking numerous
buildings, but as yet no lives are reported

DID SHE COMMIT SUICIDE?
A Young Woman Who Went Wrong Foun
Dead at Chicago.

Dead at Chicago.
CHICAGO, May lon a slab in Sig
mund's undertaking establishment lies
the dead body of a young woman about
whom nothing is known save that she bore
in life the name of Mrs. Alexander. Her
finely cut features denote that she came
from no common birth. A chambermaid
at the Southern hotel on Wabash avenue
discovered the woman's body in her room
with a razor in her hand and gaping
wound in her throat.
All that is known of the dead woman IS
that she came to the hotel April IS in COM
pany with gentleman with a full beard,
who registered as Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander,
New York city. They were much together,
and on Friday last the gentleman left the
city, saying he would return Sunday. The
police have no clues to work upon. No
note or writing was left in the room. a
pair of shoes marked alexander, Twenty
third street and Sixth avenue, New York"
and a card giving the name of RoselE. Berg
hold, 14S West One Hundred and Twenty
ninth street, New York, were found. Upon
some of her underclothing the letter "R"
appeared.
LATER.-The father of Rebecca Berghold
which is her name), the young woman
who was found in room at the Southern
hotel with her throat cut Saturday, reached
here this noon to take charge of the re-
mains Mystery still surrounds the death
of the woman. The police are inclined to
believe that it was case of murder. The
man who was her companion for two
weeks at the hotel, and who promised to
be back again Saturday after leaving her
in her room, has not yet returned.
The gaping wound in the woman's throat
is most horrible one. 1t extends from
one ear to the other and to such a depth
that the vertebre at the back of the neck
is exposed. The cut is straight across the
neck and not such a one as might have
been self-inflicted. Examination developed
the fact that the dead woman was about
to become mother. txs.

In beautiful sweep of lowland nortn OF
Melvale station on the Northern Central Rail-
road. and about nine miles from be city, there
Is peculiar farm. II Is peculiar III that IL rem
ders 10 its owner and tiIler but one crop IN four
years and that crop of willow shoots
The farmer, Antoine Spath. came from Frank
fort GERMANY, many years ago, and after erect
ing himself a comfortable stone house. which
Still stands IN the midst OF picturesque cump
of willows ut the end of the little valley, set
about planting his first crop OF willow shoots.
Every year since he has gone on planting row
after row until the valley has become covered
with Them. Spath had learned the art of weav-
Ing willow-ware III his boyhood days by the
shores OF the River Main, and as fast as his
little plantation grew he gathered the shoots,
stripped them OF their green outer covering,
and after drying them, woVe baskets OF eYery
conceivable form and size.
"lt seems rather peculiar work IN this c0un-
try,'' said the willow farmer in speaking
of his business, "but in all parts of
EurOpe, especially iu the German provinces
II is very common thing 10 find willow plan
tatOns and willow-weayers, for this willow
is used in many forms and for a greater num-
Der of purposes than / find 1t used in This
country. In Germany and France willow IS

shapes of marketing baskets. baskets used by
miilners and lanndresses, bask- Is and pannlerS
to be carried upon the backs of man and beasts
for holding fish and fowl.
ITO prepare The willow for the weaver we
plant the slips in long rows, parallel with a
running stream OF water, and cut them when
ihey have attained four years of growth. The
euttng-time Is early In the spring. before
the SAP Is done running, and after lying
lnem in bundles they are placed in ponds OF

Tor stripping. Stripping the willow is accom-
plished by drawing the switches through and
between TWO heavy iron staRchions, whose
edges peel the light green bark from the white
heart, and then, after drying or curing them
unon long racks. we have got the willow in a
form for ne weaver.
1T was many years after planted this farm
with willows before any one thought of imrat-
ing my example, but now there are several
other plantations located upon the Washington
end Annapolis ROADS, ana though you may find
0ulie as busy scenes there you will scarcely find
a more picturesque place than this anywhere,
and that was one OF the reasons that led me 10
