BOTH GOT A BLACK EYE.
The Strike and the Agitator Who
Was Hunting for 1t.
EVERYBODY BUSY ON THE WORLDS
FAIR GROUNDS.

The Great Show Will Open on Time But
In Somewhat Chaotic shape-The Oar
penters Refused to Obey the Order to
strike-When the Labor Leader Went
to Investigate, There Was a Different
of Striking.
CHICAGO, April 24.-Notwithstanding
the serious delay occasioned by bad
weather, last week, the managers of the
Worlds Fair are promising to have
things in presentable shape by next Mon
day. Under no circumstances will the
opening be postponed. As to the in
teriol work of the fair, the outlook is
not hopeful. No one will pretend to say
the great show will be entirely COM
plete by the first of May. 1t will be a
physical impossibility to get everything
in readiness in the short remaining time.
For this the exhibitors are to blame.
They have in many instances delayed
their part of the work until the very last
moment and find themselves behind
the procession.
The action of the Carpenters Union
III ueclar1n8 Strlko Tor today had no
visible effect at the fair grounds this
morning and the usual force of car
penters was at work. None had struck
SO far as could be learned. Among the
men there seemed to be feeling of dis
satisfaction at the ACTION taken by the
meeting last night.
During the day, President Russell, of
the Building Trades Council, visited
jackson Park to see why the car
penters had not obeyed the order to
strike. The pass on which he entered
the grounds specifies that he shall not
interfere with the workmen. Mr.. Rus
sell ordered the men at work on the
German building to quit, They refused
to do so, and as Mr.. Russell persisted
in his efforts to induce them to strike.
they called on the Columbian guard to
eject him. After a lively scrimmage, in
which Mr.. Russell got black eve, ana
one or two of the guards were knocked
down, Mr.. Russell was put into patrol
wagon and carted to the police station,
His pass was taken from him and he was
escorted outside the grounds and re-
leased. Not one of the carpenters en-
ployed at the Worlds Fair grounds
obeyed his order to strike, and SO far as
can be learned the men intend to contin-
ue at work.

THE STEAM ENGINE.

The improvements which have
marked the development Of the steam
engine have been the result Of the APP
plication to their promotion of more
mechanical genius, higher skill, more
brain power generally, than proba-
bly, have ever been given in the histo-
ny of the world to any other directly
useful purpose. The steam engine
stands today as nobler monument,
a higher tribute to the genius of man
than any other product Of his many
and mighty powers that the world
has yet seen.
1t is the source and the foundation
of all his material wealth and large
ly of his intellectual and moral
wealth. 1t is the prime mover in
every application of his inventive
and instructive genius to the solution
of the problems of modern civiliza-
ton. 1t drives the machinery of
mine, mill and workshop; it tram
sports him and his possessions across
the continents and over the seas it
gives life to the whole system of
transmission of all the energies, in
Guiding those of the electric light
and the electric railway. 1t makes
all that he has and is possibility,
and stands, the mist giant, genius
of more than Aladdin-like power,
the maker and the guardian of mod
ern life.
Light, heat and electricity, all the
powers of nature, are but its SER
wants and do its work and run its
errands at arms length or miles
away, in the extension of its powers
to near and distant fields of labor
alike.
In performing the work of modern
civilization man has compelled the
service Of over 100000 horse
power of steam giants, equivalent to
more than 100000 horses Of
average power, for the rated horse
power of the steam engine is to that
extent in excess Of the power of the
animal. This is the equivalent of
the steady working power OF the
whole population of the globe, and
probably largely in excess of that

CONCERNING PILLOWS.

An odd pillow much liked by some
persons who find the ordinary pillow
clumsy and heating to the head has
the case divided into two, three, or
five rolls or sections, with an inch
and half space in the case between
each section. When filled with down,
the pillow looks like a number of
rolls, each about fifteen inches in cir
conference and eighteen inches long
The admirers of this pillow claim
that the spaces between the rolls
make the pillow cool, and that it can
be more conveniently adjusted to the
head and neck. A pillow lately pa
tented has small springs in the CEN
tire, and over them thick layer ofcot-
ton. AS the cotton can't be shaken up
like feathers, and is apt to get in
solid mass, cannot see that it is as
desirable as a feather pillow. The
rubber air-pillow is perhaps better
than any other for those whose
heads become heated and for suffer
ers from insomnia. One man that |
know Of has gained many nights
sleep by using hot-water bag for
such a pillow, filled not with hot but
with ice.cold water. The idea was
suggested to him by the patient Of a
famous doctor, who prescribed a
piece of ice followed out on one side
at the base of the BRAIN New York
Evening Post.

this, but it means more. 1t means
that unless the mines open within a
short time the entire population
must move away and leave what

has taken years to accumulate.

LEADVILLE, COLORADO AND SILL
YER

No community in the great Ameri-
can silver zone seems to be in a
tighter place than the city of Lead
vile, which is perched among the
peaks of the Rocky mountains, TO-
600 feet above the level of the sea.
The founding Of this cityin 1878 was
one of the sensations of the time.
Within six months it grew from an
isolated mining camp of few hun
dred souls to city of 10000 inhab-
itants. Long before the engineers
could drive a railroad around and
around the steep mountain sides up
to the new city's gates above the
clouds, it had become organized as
municipality, and had graded streets,
a system of sewers, electric lights,
telephones, fire department, banks
and commercial exchange, while of
social clubs, churches, schools and
theaters there was an abundant
number. 1t was perhaps the most
magnificent, picturesque and roman
tic example OF city building the world
has ever seen.
During the years that have passed
Leadville has remained a prosperous,
active and highly interesting COM
munity, with permanent popula-
ton that never sunk below 10000.
The sole industry has been silver
mining. Aloft there in the heart of
the mountains, no other source of
prosperity has been or ever can be
possible. During the IA years, 1879,
go, the Leadville mines produced
over 100000, 900 ounces of silver,
worth over 100000. 1t is
stated that the actual cost of discov-
cry, location, patenting, operating,
mining and smelling in this district
during that time has been over $121,-
100000, so that if the mining plants
should now be abandoned the grand
enterprise of silver mining in Lead
vile would have resulted in loss.
A great sum has been invested which
could not be realized in profits on
production within so brief period.
Leadville correspondent Of the
Omaha Bee declares that the city is
on the verge of ruin and utter aban'
donment. The mines have closed,
and "the miles upon miles of shafts,
d.ifts, levels and tunnels are filling
with water and are deserted, being
inhabited only by the bats and liz
ards" Business houses have closed
their doors, and even the windows
are boarded up. Of thousands of
men who last June were connected
with thd mines in some way, only
about $50 are now at work. The
idle workmen have drawn their de-
posits from the banks and thus have
Frustrated those institutions. Men
with any money at all have left the
place, but hundreds are now living
on dry bread and "the berries which
they gather along the rivers and
small streams" The final effect is
thus depicted by the correspondent
OF the Bee:
AS the revenues of this city are IN
directly derived from the income OF
the men who work in the mines, the
outlook for the future is very dark,
Tor with the mills and mines closed,
no taxes can be levied and collected,
Which means that the municipal and
county governments must be aban-
uoned; that the schools and acad-
enies must close and that the
churches must do away with their
preachers, who for years have been
sXpounding the word of God to their
o metle Hook. Not only does the pres
