FOR BRAVE FIREMEN.

Chicago, July IL. - Notwithstanding
lit was advertised far and wide that the
proceeds of yesterdays ticket sales at
the worlds fair were to be donated to
THE families of the fremen who lost their
lives in the awful fire Of last Monday,
1.-THE attendance was unusually small. 1t
was al rcunced as heroes day. and the
total admissions of the day, according
to the estimate of the bureau Of adnis-
sions, will scarcely reach $4,000. Even
Midway Plaisance had a deserted and
somber, Sabbath-like air. There was 10
music in any of the pavilicns, ard what
was announced as the last open Sunday
of the fair, in the eyes of some of the
officials at least, WAS a pronounced fail
IRE. The memorial exercises in Festival
hall was poorly attended. Less than a
thousand pee pie gathered there, and had
lit not been that the hall was draped in
mourning the small audience would
scarcely have known the exercises were
in honor of the fremen who gave up
their lives in the discharge Of their
duties. For some reason the work of
clearing away the sinking rubbish and
debris that remains in the ruins of the
cold storage warehouse was suspended
yesterday.

TORTURED A. WOMAN
BARBARaC WORK IN A MINING
T<3MN IN MONTANA.
Money Placed In the Charge Of
Woman Is Recovered Only After
She Had Been Drutnlly Treated nnd
Threatened With Death.

Helena, Mont-; July 1.-THE folly Of
drawing money out of safe banks and
putting it in the house or carrying it
about on the person is well illustrated
in the mining town of Granite, where 4
stampede recently closed one local bank.
Having got their savings in hand many
made no better use of it than to squander
it. Others hid it. One man with q
sum Of nearly 5000 placed it temporarily
in possession of a woman of Granite for
safe keeping. Subsequently calling for
it the woman denied all knowledge of it.
Exasperated, the owner of the money,
with several pals, proceeded TO force the
woman, using barbara methods to- COM
pei restoration. Her hands were tied.
her face slashed and dis6gared, and as
final resort coal oil was poured upon
her and the threat of burning her alive
was about to be carried out. Then the
woman weakened, divulged tho hiding
place of the money and its recovery was
effected. Several houses have been
broken into by burglars in the hope Of
finding hidden treasures, and lille men
who walk the streets carrying their say
iings are tempted to drink that they may
be robbed, and invited to squander the
money in all conceivable ways.

BIT SIX DAYS Al WEEK.

- = y
Chicago, July Is. fter July 16 Sun
day 8dda opening Of the worlds fair will be.
5a thing Of the past. At yesterdays
meeting Of the local directors by a vote
of "a to resolution was adopted or
s'dering the gates of the exposition closed.
on the first day of the week, after next
Sunday. The entire receipts tomorrow,
Heroes day." are to be donated to
the families of the fremen who lost
their lives in the cold storage, warehouse
! fire. The directors were reluctant to ad-
NIT that Sunday opening had proved a
failure, but the dwindling attendance
and the opposition Of many exhibitors
who We're unwilling to meet the extra
expense entailed by seven days fair
has forced the conclusion upon the local
managers Of the exposition that nothing
was to be gained by Sunday fair. The
working people, who are unable to at
tend on week days have not taken kindly
Sto a Sunday fair with motionless ma
chinery and covered exhibits. While
Midway Plaisance has been well at
tended and patronized on Sundays the
other TEXTURES of the exposition have Of
fered but slight attraction to visitors.
The persistent opposition Of the religious
element throughout the country has,
without doubt, had powerful influence
in bringing about the action Of the di.
rectors. s

q A FEASIBLE PLAN.

Washington, July 1S-The internation-
al railway commission, which was one
Of the outgrowths of the late Pan-Ameri-
cen congress, is now engaged in winding
up the work it has been pursuing for
the past two years, and the engineers
and surveyors who have been in the field
are now preparing their reports and re-
ducing their field notes to the shape Of
maps and charts. The reports of the:
field engineers demonstrate the feasibili-
ty of building these railroads to connect
the systems of North America with those
of South America, and that there are
no insurmountable engineering difficulties
in the way of the successful prosecution
of such work. The whole number of
miles surveyed aggregated $500.

JEWS KILLED.

St., Petersburg, July 1S.-The Jews Of
Yalta, in the Crimea, refused to- obey the
decree to retire within the pale For
several days the clergy exhorted the rest
of the population to rise and expel them.
Last week an anti-Jew mob took posses
sion of the streets, broke into houses oc-
cupied by Jews and tried to drive the
occupants from the town. The Jews
fought back. Dozens were dragged into
the streets and were beaten. Many
were killed. The houses owned by Jews
were plundered and wrecked. Troops
were called to the town to restore order.
None of the rioters were killed, and but
few were injured.
