Desth in q Hand Clasp.

The warm grasp of friendly hand
led to the death of Dennis y Leary,
who was buried at Bristol, Pa, the
other day. For some years the ven
cradle gentleman has made his home
with friends in Boston, although
resident of Bristol. While strolling
through a Boston park few days
ago Mr.. O'Leary, who recently cele-
brated his 93d birthday, was stopped
by a young and robust friend, who
grasped his hand and gave tia hearty
squeeze.
His finger nails sunk into the palm
OF Mr.. O'Leary's hand. The skin was
cut through and few drops OF blood
appeared, but no attention was paid
to the wound until the muscles Of the
hand became so sore that the fingers
could only be bent with great diff
Guilty.
A day later the muscles became
rigid and the hand began to swell.
Black rings appeared under the old
mans fingers nails, and the skin on
the back of his hand became notified.
The swelling increased from hour TO
hour, until his arm aad shoulders were
twice their normal size, and as the
swelling grew the pain increased.
Medical aid, the best that could be
had in Boston, was summoned as
soon as it appeared that the wound
was serious; but the blood poisoning
had advanced so far and SO quickly
that nothing could be done except to
alleviate the great suffering OF the
patient.
On account Of his age amputatiOn
of the arm or even the hand would
probably have proved fatal, but be-
fore the physicians in attendance
could finally decide upon course the
old gentleman's condition became so
grave that an operation Of any kind
was out of the question. His death
followed in a short time.

Edward Fuller, of Philadelphia, got
on Pennsylvania Railroad train at
Broad Street Station the other day,
intending to get OF at n suburban
station. Instead of getting on local
train he boarded the Cincinnati and
st. Louis express, getting between the
tender and baggage car. He could
not jump off and was sitting on the
platform when the locomotive scooped
up water from the tank between the
rails. AS the tank in the tender filed
up it overflowed and almost drowned
Fuller, who, to escape, opened the
baggage car door and entered the car.
The huge volume OF water poured in
after him and deluged the car, de-
stroying the contents of several
trunks. Fuller was arrested when
the train reached Harrisburg, and is
now in Jail for malicious mischief.

likely that the tickets will circulate
freely as money in Chicago during
the first few months of the great fair.

product piled all around him and reaching
high in the air: mountains of food stuffs Oh
all sides. All varieties of tastes are catered
to in the individual display, but the ensem-
Die 1s not altogether pleasing. 1t is only
from the east and west galleries that the visi-
tor can obtain an idea of the immensely OF
the general display. Mosques. towers. cas-
ties. temples, pagodas and structures embrac-
ing every known variety Of architecture
crowd upon each other in pleasing confusion.
and offer to the beholder vision of what has
been in the building line since the world be-
gan, and what may be expected in years to
come where the laws and regulations regard
ing such things are lax.
The main floor of the great hall is divided
between foreign countries and the States
composing the great American Union. Other
Nations than the United States occupy the
space north Of the grand or central aisle.
which runs east from the main entrance. and
the various States are to the South Of it.
There is no reason why the visitor should be
dazzled by the multiplicity Of displays if he
will but keep the plan of arrangement in his
head. When he gets to the galleries it will
be somewhat different. for there he will come
across exhibits of every conceivable kind.

faithfully reproduced. This farm is one of
the largest OF its kind in the world, and
breeders will view the model with much more
than ordinary interest.
The greater part OF the space allotted to
Australia has been appropriated by New
South Wales. which has constructed pa

structure claims no particular originality Of
design. its chief merit being the unique char

Of it may do SO.
Ontario. Quebec and the Northwestern
provinces Of the Dominion have erected
trophies in the large pavilion. which will be

Of the Empire have no reason to be ashamed.
There is one feature OF the exhibit. though
that strikes one as somewhat strange As
each foreign country makes a special feature
of its chief staple, one would naturally
associate Germany with the brewing in
dustry. Yet Germany does not vaunt her
beer, but makes a special feature of her

States as wheat growing country. The
Russian pavilion is not SO gaudy as some
others, but it is filled with interesting
material for those who wish to study closely
the differences existing between the products
Of this country and those of its great rival.
France has g beautiful pavilion. for her
Commissioners could not bear the thought
that Germany should surpass her in any
thing. 1t is complete in every detail and
most elaborate in finish, while the manner OF
the arrangement of the exhibits is decidedly
artistic.
The Island Of CeylOn has one OF the most
elaborate and ornate pavilions in the build
ing situated near the corner at the left of the
main entrance from the west. dozen dark
skinned carpenters spent weeks of patient Ia
Dor upon it. and it is indeed a thing of beauty
being fashioned i'll the highest style of the
ioiner's art. There was time when CeylOn
was famous for her cOffees. Now she claims
special distinction because of her teas and
hard woods. The latter are shown by the
timbers ia her pavilion -cnriously carved pill
lars of ebony. satinwOod kumbuk. pallG.
margosa and other native woods. Some of
the carvings represent high gods. others are
leaf tracings, while yet others seem tho out

Ceylon's merchants look for great results
from this display.
Brazil. now sister Republic. sends tho en-
tire National display from last years exhibi-
ton at Rio JaneirO. Coffee is naturally the
staple Of the exhibit. and it is in evidence
from the berry to the liquid in the breakfast
cup. The entire process Of its production
from first to last is deliberately illustrated,
and series of samples will show the differ
ent varieties. 1t is the most complete show
ing Brazil has ever made.
Now the stunted. little considered Kafir
comes to the front from Cape Colony. but the
display is more of an chronological than All
