BECOMING IMPATIENT.

Some OF the Expectant Beneficiaries of the
Fund Raised for the Relief of the Faml-
lies OF tho Victims of the Cold Storage
Fire Would Like to Get a Sight of the
Money.
CHICAGO, Aug. s.-There IS nearly
s10O,00O to be divided among the wild
ows, children and others dependent
upon the brave men who perished in
the Cold Storage fire. President Hig-
ginbotham, who holds, as trustee, the
money subscribed within the exposi-
ton grounds and at the gates, says as
his explanation for not having distrib-
uted the fund in his possession, that he
is waiting until he obtains complete
and relia bic information about the
numbers in the families to be relieved
and the circumstances, so that all may
receive according to their necessities.
Some of the fremen's widows are
complaining that they are in distress
and actual want while they can not
get their share of the peoples contri-
buttons.
The fire marshal and the beard of
trade do not seem inclined to move any
quicker in regard to the distribution
than does President Higginbotham.
The Sunday gate receipts which were
devoted to the fund are subject to the
order of the council Of administration.
President Higginbotham has in charge,
