reached twice, on the opening day and
Memorial Day. Special fete days and single
fare excursions from distant points will
swell the crowds for the next five months,
but the European patronage is not being
relied on to any great extent in figuring up
prospective receipts. There is one fact that
gives encouragement TO the directory. and
that is that for twenty-seven days in May
the receipts have been some thousands
greater for admissions than at Paris for
thirty-one days in the same month.
4 Policy of Rerrenchment.
There will lie a severe policy of re-
trenchment in all departments Of the fair
beginning this month. The distribution
of passes is to be kept within the narrow
est limits possible, and even Major Handy,
who deals with the press representatives
Of the world, is now preparing under or
ders a detailed statement of passes given
with view to a heavy reduction of the
list THE matter of awards which has
been giving much trouble because the for
eign exhibitors almost unanimously OBJ
jected to the one man principle adopted
is in fair way of settlement \ compro-
mise has been offered which will probably
be accepted. The British exhibitors, how
ever have receded from their objections

One of the most useful building of the
exposition is the home for children. Tbs
is fitted up with playrooms and with every
description of toys, both of domestic and
foreign make-those from Japan being es-
pecially curious and ingenious-with
which the children may amuse themselves
under the care of Mrs. Dunlap and full
corps of attendants. Parents can take
their young children to this building and
"check" them so that there will be no
danger of getting them mixed leave
them there and go out and look at the
fair with perfect assurance that the little
ones will be well taken care of. In one
part of the building is a ''creche" where
babies, similarly checked can be left.

the little things. 1t was opened this after

HOW 1T LOOKS FOR IRON WORKERS
The AmaIgamated and the Big Operators

stead, perhaps without its record of blood
shed, seems TO be an inevitable result of
the forces which are working in the iron
industry of Pittsburg, the Mahoning and
Shenango valleys. Next Tuesday the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel
workers begin their annual wage confer
ence in this city. Whatever conclusion
NAV be reached in that convention the
big iron men have determined that wages
shall come down. d. b. Oliver, of Oliver
Bros and Co. employing 1900 men and
boys, and B. +. Jones, employer of several
thousand men. have agreed'to this ulti-
matum Each firm will make its own fight.
Last years fight drove the $1,000 en-
ployes of the six Carnegie companies out

Schoeuberger mill also became non-union
last year. So did the Elba Iron works,
Parks Bros. & Co.'S steel works, and
Moorehead Bros. s. Co.'S iron works had

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Comptroller Eek
els has had a call from E. Ashley Mears,
and it is just possible that the latter gen.
tleman wishes he had not called. He was
the promoter of an unfortunate string of
banks in North Dakota operated on the
same lines laid down by Zimri Dwiggins.
The comptroller closed these institutions a
few days ago, and Mr.. Mears, who had
come over from New York, called on him
and expressed the opinion that he had not
been treated fairly There are other banks
running along employing the same meth
DDS that did. and think it is unjust that
should be closed while others are permit
ted to continue business" said Mr.. Mears.
VIII Aid Him Out of the business
at is true, perhaps, that there are other
banks in this country which are run
ming on the principle which you have en-
ployed, but we are wedding them out as
fast as possible 1t will be the policy of this
office to get rid of all bank promoters,
boomers and other men like yourself We
are always ready at this office to encour-
age legitimate banking, but so far as you
are concerned no organization that per-
mits the use of your name III any wayfwill
ever get the sanction of this office to be-
gin business"

banking business, anyhow.

The Chicago Columbia Bank.
A c. Lynch, an expert who has been
looking over the books of the Columbia
bank at Chicago, and Judge Gilbert, attor

ing the Chemical bank of that city. The
Chemical committee Will make a strong
effort to show why they ought to resume
business, while Expert Lynch and Judge
Gilbert are expecting to produce a sum-
mary of the report of the investigation of
the affairs of the Columbia so as to enable
the comptroller to get at the facts immedi-
ately in order TO take some action.
The Case of Zimri DwiGgins.
II have not read the exhaustive report of
the banking methods of Zimri Dwiggins,"
said Mr. Eckels. After ! see the attorney
this evening l expect to be in a position to
make public announcement in regard to
the Columbia bank, and relieve public
anxiety somewhat in regard to Mr.. Dwig-
gins case"

PLUTO'S SAFETY VALVE.

A Curious Exhibition OF Nature Which
Is Made Nightly in Western Arizona.
Two ana a half miles south of the
little Mexican villagetof Las Hummet-
tas. in western Arizona, in a low,
sandy valley, thanked by tall mount
aims, there is hoie about three feet in
diameter and of unknown depth.
From this cavity, which is as round
as if fashioned by an experienced we'll
digger, a dense clogld of smoke and
steam is constantly arising. For one
hundred feet on each side of this ap-
parently fathomless pit the ground is
moist and damp.
Water collected from small holes dug
in the damp soil has curious effect
upon the person rash enough to drink
it--dispelling sleep for as much as fifty
hours in succession.
If the hands and feet be washed in
1t, it gives them a brazen hue and a
paralytic mum bness.
OF an evening, about seven o'clock
(seldom varying as much as five min
utes either way, large volumes of sand
are shot from the hole several yards

digestion.
At the beginning of the summer, the
best physicians give warning that pure
food must be used for babies. That til s
warning did not reach every city and
town in this state is evident from the
high infantile death rate. But in those
places where the newspapers published
the discussions that were going on,
large quantities of lactated food were
sold and this best OF diets for children
was used. The result is, statistics show
that fewer deaths have occurred in those
towns and cities where the larger
amount of lactated food was used.
Comparisons of this sort are absolutely
convincing.
August is fatal month for the little
ones, and unless lactated food is Used,
the local physicians say that the dread
fu, mortality and increasing amount OF
sickness among children will continue.
The safest plan is to feed infants on

dogs is EN- lion, or in the lion style.
This is almost uniform style of dress
in the summer for poodles, which
abound in Paris The shaggy coat is
! trimmed SO that the front part of the
animal remains clothed, and the back
part is shaved The dogs who belong
to the better classes" are brought in
to be shaved quite frequently, for the
lion style is not regarded as looking
well on poodles unless the skin shows
pink through the closely-cropped coat.
AS every shearing costs from seventy
five cents to dollar and quarter, &C
cording to the difficulty Of the opera
ton, dogs belonging to poor or econom-
zeal people often have to content them
selves with cut en- culotte, in which
the body is only partially sheared and
the legs are left with their natural COW
ering. This method does not involve
such frequent renewal
Another style, much affected by per-
sons of fantastic and humorous tastes,
is known as the nacaron style. 1t con-
sists in leaving spots and patches of
hair here and there-rings about the
legs and tail, and so forth. 1t is an in
dignity to respectable dog to shear
him in this way. 1t often makes him
unhappy, for there is no doubt that
most intelligent dogs are sensitive to
ridicule.
Another fashion, which is proba bly,
in still worse taste than the macaron,
is known as the initial style" 1t con-
sists in leaving the hair, or of removing
it in such way that the initials of the
owner appear on the dogs sides or back.
This method expresses the vanity of
the owner and nothing more, for it
gives no pleasure and adds no beauty
to the dog.
1t takes two persons to shear a dog

Occasionally dog fights his shearers
viciously, but SO great is the skill and
patience of these operators that they
are seldom bitten. Youths Companion.
