THE rHrLA MAY CONCERT co.


As has been announced, this Boston
organization will appear at the town hall
on Wednesday evening next under the
auspices of the High school. The COM
pany comprises Miss Phila May. the New
Hampshire prima donna; Louis Miller,
lyric tenor; Miss Helen Hubbard, reader,
from the oratory school, Harvard annex,
and Wilbur McColl, pianist. late of the
Munich conservatorium. Since Phila
Mays appearance here two years ago she
has met with distinguished success not
only here in America, but in Europe, es-
pecially In Germany, where it is almost
impossible to obtain hearing. In that
land of composers and song she every
where won the love of the people and the
praise of the critics. Her appearances in
Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig and Hamburg
were veritable triumphs; she was every
where alluded to as "the beautiful Amer =
lean" Seats are on sale at Sterns'.

that the same is ''potable". Judging
from the number of liquor cases in the

THE VIKING SHIP.

from Christiania under the command Of
Magnus Anderson, splendid specimen
of Morse manhood, who had a crew OF
twelve of his countrymen equal in
physique and daring to himself. In
this ship, which was open to the ele-
ments and rugged in the most primitive
fashion, these hardy mariners crossed
the raging main and after many hard
ships came safely to land, completing
one of the most notable voyages ever
made to this country. Here these
worthy descendants Of the ancient
''creelx-men" find many countrymen
to welcome them and join with them
in the general rejoicing over their safe
arrival.
When the worlds fair is over the
immense temples dedicated to art, the
sciences and commerce will be despoiled
of their enhancing beauties, and the
buildings themselves will, be sold to
some shrewd contractor, who will care
fully pull them apart board for board
and utilize the pile he accumulates in
constructing other buildings-not SO
handsome but more useful. The Swed-
ish building will not suffer this com
mon fate. Though it will be taken
down it will again be reared in its
present form. 1t will change its rest
ing place, but will still remain in Chi
cago.

SHARKS AND SUCKERS.
How tho Big Fish Garry Around the
Little Fish ON Their Backs.

How tho Big Fish Garry Around the
Little Fish ON Their Backs.
The sharks in the marine section of
the aquarium play every day and all
the day to big crowds. The sharks do
not seem to enjoy it much. There are
only two of them left now; there were
SIX SIX at first, but the biggest one, five
footer, and three of the smaller ones
died Chicago-made salt water does
not seem to agree with them at all.
Some folks who look at these sharks
indulge themselves in the pleasing
fancy that they are looking at real
vicious man-eaters, regular monsters
OF the deep that go around amusing
themselves by swapping legs off sailors.
lhese fellows are no man-eaters,
though; they are just common sand
sharks caught in pound nets off the Car
DINA coast They are of a species that
seldom grows to be over five or six feet
long. They could not eat man if
they tried, but they can make it lively
for the fish in sight when they get
hungry.
But whether these sharks are man
eaters or not they look exceedingly
sharky and wicked. They are long and
thin and clipper-like, and they fit
about their tanks like evil shadows.
They have curved mouths set away
back under their inquisitive shouts,
and the mouths have multitudes OF
needle-like white teeth. Ore of these
sharks, the larger one, has q
constant companion that causes a
good deal of comment and guessing
among visitors. 1t is slender fish
about eight inches long that has at.
tached itself, apparently by its teeth,
to the smooth skin of the sharks back.
It sticks closer than brother or a
leech. Some of the visitors think it is
a young shark. The guard will tell
you that it is a pilot fish, but that
shows that there are some things which
even Columbian guard does not know.
The fish is what the Carolina fshermeu
call a sucker fish, a remora. If you ask
Prof. Forbes of the fish commission he
will tell you that it is the ectieneis nau
crates of lime.
That is pretty imposing name for sc
little fish, but the creature itself is
one of the most interesting of swim
ming things. The remora has set in
! the top of its fat head an oval sucke,
plate, whereby it has an easy time. The
remora attaches itself by this sucke,
plate to the first big fish that comes
along and rides around just as lazily as
! a fat woman in a roller chair. What
ever the big fish gets to eat the remora
has also it's share; it catches the crum bs
and leavings. There is no fish that has
more fun and an easier time than this
remora.
Some of the West Indians make thi.
parasite work for aiiving though They
use him for an animated fishhook
They tie string to his tail and let hin
into the water to swim around until hi
falls afoul of turtle. Then when hi
has laid firm hold Of the turtle the wist
West Indian bags the whole outfit ant
sets his remora for another turtle.

close of the exposition the fifty thou

Great expectations had been based
on the popularity of the skating rink.
1t was in the room next the roof. The
ice was to be five inches thick, frozen
by pipes of circulating brine placed
close together. Balconies about the
sides were erected for spectators and a
band The Hercules Iron company built
all the labyrinth of pipes and tanks, and
a German firm put in the boilers, said
to consume the smoke, thus being
capable of burning the very poorest
COAL
The loss of this building will be
severely felt by the concessionaires at
the fair who depended upon it for sup
plies during the heated term, and it is
highly probable that the destruction Of
the supplies stored in it will occasion
much Inconvenience and some loss in
various quarters.
There is in this calamity a sugges-
ton which the fair authorities will
doubtless heed, and that is the urgent
need of fire escapes on the large build
ing throughout the grounds ard
especially those which have elevators
for carrying people to the roofs and
higher stories, 1t is hardly probable
that such another catastrophe will be

The Swedish Building and

Especial Chicago Correspondents !

Especial Chicago Correspondence
All Chicago, including guests and
worlds fair visitors, is yet in the throes
of horror produced by the lamentable
fate of the victims of the recent fire at
the cold storage building at Jackson
park, and subscriptions are still pour
and dependents of the poor souls VINO
met with such an awful death. The
exact number of lives lost in the flames
has not as yet been ascertained, but
according to the latest information
,twenty-three charred and dismem bered
bodies We're found in the ruins of the
Inflated building. The unfortunates
were nearly all fremen, and the sad
fate Of their comrades has caused the
deepest sorrow among the members of
the department throughout the city
Most of the bodies taken from the
ruins were so thoroughly incinerated
and disfgured that they were beyond
recognition, and the mourning rela-
tives and friends of those who were
known to have been lost in the flames
were more deeply plunged in grief by
their inability to identify their dead,
and the sad search among the black
ened and broken corpses for even the
faintest traces of husbands, fathers
and brothers was pitiful in the ex-
IRENE.
The building burned was not the
property of the fair, as was quite gen
orally supposed, but belonged to the
Hercules Iron company of Aurora, III.
The loss occasioned by the fire was
nearly quarter of million dollars,
and has caused the company to make
an assignment. The building was put
mp for the purpose of preserving per-
ishahle supplies for the fair during the
summer season, and was we'll stored
with provisions for hungry and thirsty
visitors. 1t also contained an herman
ufacturing plant capable of freezing
one hundred and twenty tons of ice per
day, and an ice skating rink one hum
dred and eighty feet long by eighty
feet wide. Can ice-so called from the
system employed in making twas to
be the principal production. Condensed
steam, thoroughly filtered, was to be
used exclusively, making the ice posi-
lively pure. The plant was to supply
only ten tons daily by series of sub
merged pipes filed with pure water. For
the safe keeping of eggs, butter and
meat used in the restaurants sixty
thousand cubic feet of space were used.
This was divided into great MANY
sections, with ingenious ventilating de-
vices which were automatic and kept
the rooms each at the desired tempera-
ture. All the processes of overcoming
the natural heat of summer were
to be shown, including the direct ex-
pansion, the brine circulation and the

Freaks Of Memory.

ISL Some one of the ancients observes

members the things he would forget.
Some of us have no right to complain
of a bad memory" II we have great

so blinded and drugged the traveller
into the past that she can bring us no
certain word from beyond the forbid

that memory will be equally istless
and unfaithful when sent by us to
other quarters of her proper ranging
ground? In our maneuvering to forget
what e5do not wish to remember, dis
scipline overreaches itself, and we are
betrayed into forgetting what we
should like to remember. And SO we

Dividing the public interest with

will be taken apart and removed to q
pretty site in Martin Luther college ad-
dition in the northwestern part of Chi
cago, seven miles from the courthouse.
The building is a unique one, inasmuch
as it can be taken apart and put to-
gether again as often as is desired with
out injury to the building. It was
made in Sweden, inspected by all who
cared to see it, gently taken to pieces,
each part marked and shipped to the
worlds fair, where in few days it
stood forth as substantial building as
any. 1t may appear that the structure
is something of an architectural toy,
but this is not the case.
It's dimensions are by no means small
and the main tower is something over
one hundred feet high.
1t is one of the most curious as well
as one of the most artistic. The archi-
lecture is original, though the designer
has followed closely the style used in
the ancient ssstane" churches Of five
hundred years ago. 1t was not intend
ed for college building, so the interior
must necessarily be remodeled AS it
has fallen into the hands of Swedes,
there is little reason to fear that every
thing will not be done to retain as
much as possible the original design.
The outside will no doubt be unmo-
Tested.
The transfer from the Sweden gov
eminent to the college authorities was
made some time ago, but the news
never leaked out as far as the Chicago
papers, English or Sweden, were con-
cerned. The government practically
made gift of its share. but the inter-
ests of several Swedish manufacturing
firms, amounting to several thousands,
had to be satisfied in cash. Otto
Letter, the popular Swedish commits
sioner, played q leading part in the
deal.
Martin Luther college is new col
lege and has not yet had single stu
dent on its membership roll. It doors
will be opened for the first time
next fall. 1t has good backing and
is bound to prosper. The officials in
charge are all Swedish Lutherans. and
this denomination will dominate all its
affairs. It will bear the same relation
to Augustana seminary at Rock Island
as the Gustavus Adolphus college at st
Peter. Its first building will probably
be the most striking appearing struc-
ture OF its kind in the world, and the
wealth of associations connected with
it will always make it . most Interest,"
