Worlds Fair Commissioner Butt Take
Pity on Hungry Man.

Worlds Fair Commissioner Butt Takes
Pity oil Hungry Man.
Chicago Tribune
Commissioner James D. Butt, OF West
Virginia, learned last night new trick
of confidence men to secure money
from the unsuspecting, but he was so
cleyerly fooled that he doesn't regret
the loss Of his money, 1t happened
this way;
Commissioners Butt, Holiday, Mas
sey and others were sitting III the ro-
tunda Of the Palmer House, discussing
Worlds Fair matters, when they OBJ
served tall, lean, hungry-looking man
in shabby attire, standing against one
OF tho gilded pillars on the opposite
side OF the lobby. Suddenly they saw
him drop to the floor as If dead. They
rushed forward to the fallen man, as did
Clerk Cunningham and number OF
guests. AS they closed about him an
outsider rushed up, felt tina mans
pulse, rubbed some ointment on his
forehead, and after few minutes the
person whom all believed to be dead,
slowly revived, OF course all were
guessing as to the strangers ailiment,
when the man with the ointment an'
nounced:
"Gentlemen, thisman issuiltring from
chronic starvation. In my experience
OF twenty-five years az q physician l
have handled at least fifty cases similar
to this There is nothing in the world
the matter with him except that he ia
starving"
This speech took place after the help
less man had boon carried across the
lobby to a chair, on which he stupidity
sat slowly recovering. When the al
legged physician had made his statement
Commissioner Butt broke it:
"lhat can't be, for he told me mo.
ment ago that he had had his supper"
tits 90, nevertheless" answered the
ointment man sagely, because have
treated cases Just like this, He may
have had his supper, but he didn't have
what was necessary. What he needs is
a beefsteak,"
Commissioner Butt is u sympathetic
man, and no ono else coming to the
rescue he said:
We'll, II q Deelateak 10 all Ibis man
needs he shall have it." And thereupon
the West Virginia commissioner drew
silver dollar from his pocket and gave
1t to the forlorn-looking man affected
with chronic starvation. With I'M
expected sprightllness the poor fellow
roso from the chair, grasped tho arm OF
his confederate, saunterod lightly ont

Mr.. Butt enjoyed the laugh ofhis fellow.
commissioner. After it was all over
each one could figure out how tho man
could have fallen with such skill as to
strike the hard floor with his shoulders
instead Of his head.
"Ihat was the most beautiful piece OF
acting ever witnessed" said Commits
sioner Butt. "He fooled US all, and l
suppose he will play the same trick at
tho other leading hotels. He had every
reason to believe that he would secure
S. instead OF 81 in the crowd such as
surrounded him."

gloomy day greeted Martello on this,
his last day on earth, The prisoner
rested fairly we'll last night, but OF
course was rather nervous,
At s o'clock this morning the con-
demned man was shaved aud dressed,
and all hi5 preparations for the execu-
ton, 80 lar US he himself was con,
cerned, completed. The witnesses had
about all arrived at 10 o'clock.
At 1880 the witnesses were conduct-
cd into the execution chamber and
Martello was brought in, Formallties
were soon gone through, and, after two
contacts, tho criminal, at 1l'5l, was
pronounced dead.
The murder Tor which Martello paid
the penalty to-day, was committed May
5, 1892, in Saratoga, when he cut the
throat Of another Italian named Gioyan-
nj Parrello, and stabbed him in six
other places, thrice in the breast, once
on the left shoulder, in the back and in
the back of the head, Jealousy was the
cause.
Anna Guy, who lived with Martello
as his mattress, was entertaining Par
relic on the night OF tho murder. Mar
tello discovered the pair, when Parrello
ran out OF the house, followed by Mar
telo, who threatened to kill him, La
ter Martello returned TO the house with
a cut in his eye, saying that Parrelo
would never trouble him again. When
the police arrived at the scene OF the
deadly battle fought with knives, the
dead body OF ParrelIo was found lying
ip the street. AIartello was arrested,
and his conviction soon followed.

Water FanIineS.
A Serious Condition of Affairs at Mont
pelier and ~. Adams.

a water famine at Montpelier is appar-
emily inevitable, there having been scarcely
a particle of rain since the first of Octo-
Der. The reservoir is at the lowest point
ever reached. All motors were shut off
Tuesday. The stone business is suspend
ed, as granite cutting establishments re-
ceiye power from the water motors. The
water commissioners had a stormy meeting
and radical measures were discussed. If
relief can be had in no other way, chan
mel from Union lake, the source of supply
to the reservoir in Berlin, will be lowered,
otherwise business must be suspended
Wells are also dry and there is a scarcity
of water among farmers, many having to
drive stock long distance for water
Despite the fact that the village of St.
Adams spent over $50, 900 last year in
building a new reservoir and additional
pipe line a water famine is close at hand
unless rain soon falls. Two months ago
some repairs upon the new reservoir be-
came necessary and the authorities allowed
the escape of nearly all the supply, eX-
pectng the fall rains to replenish the loss !;
since that time no water has fallen and at
the verge of winter the village finds itself
seriously tire itened with a scarcity of wa
ter.
