The resignation OF Mr.. Patrick Egan as
minister to Chile has not yet been received
in Washington, but ii is said to be on the
way. One Of the warmest contests of the
times will be over the appointment Of his
successor. The Chilean mission is looked
upon by some people as place for promi-
nent Irish American, and half a dozen of
them are candidates for the prospective
vacancy. Judge Cannon, Of Omaha, presi-
dent of the Irish National League of
America, and Manley Tellor, Of Cleveland,
o., are among those already in the race
However, there are those who believe that
the President has his eye on Hon. James H.
Blount, of this state, as the man for the
place. Mr.. Blount's position as chairman
OF the Rouse committee on foreign affairs
in the last congress enabled him TO 30 IA
miliarize himself with this governments
foreign policy that he could safely be sent
to eny quarter of the globe as a minister,
and he would fill with honor to his country
and to himself any position to which he
might be appointed.

The nice little story of an expedition
from Key West to Cuba for the purpose OF
liberating the island from Spanish rule was
almost too clever to be spoiled, as it has
been, by the denials of men who know what
they are TALKING about. A statement by
Mr.. c. Il. Mallory, Of the steamship line
from Key West, proves the story a clever
"fske." Such an expedition might have
been under way without the treasury de-
partment having knowledge of 1t, but a
movement of such magnitude would GER
tainly have been known to the shipping
people OF Key West.

The whole district was in a panic
which required the united efforts Of
two squads of police and a company of

and they helped the fremen. After
three hours the fire was brought under
control. Most Of the timber yard was
destroyed, four houses were burned to

were partly destroyed. A few head of

There is little doubt that the fire was

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND.
Enormous Attendance in Chicago on the
Opening Day.

CHICAGO, May 2.-Bright sunshine
and a clear sky made the big white
Worlds Fair buildings attractive to
look upon this morning.
When the gates opened a thin stream
of visitors passed through, which
swelled to a steady current Of human
ity as the forenoon wore on.
The early corners were considerably
jostled and pushed around by the men
removing the debris and other evil
dences of yesterdays opening.
The roads were a sea of mud stirred
up by the feet of thousands who gath
cred yesterday. Director Durham
says the road ways will be asphalted
within a week. Then, instead of the
clinging mud, there will be a smooth,
even surface which will turn the water
into the sewers and with it whatever
mud may accumulate.
It is estimated that the attendance
yesterday, paid and free, was about
three hundred Thousand.

There is plenty of authority for be-

that there are women and other animals

be seen there at any time. Chaucer de-
claces that the man in the moon was
guilty Of larceny, and that he carries a
thornbush. Shakespeare loads him with

ing to the general version, he was ban

this theory by giving him a woman who

The Modern Shave.

The nose pulling barber is hard to
find now unless one goes into the cheap
shops" said George D. Hamilton of
Memphis. There was a time not SO
many years ago when a barber would
take you by the nose if he had to shave
your upper lip and almost pull the pro-
tubcrance up by the roots. A friend of
mine told me he went into a shop once,
and the barber asked him if he would
have a thumb or a spoon shave, meaning
thereby that if my friend was fastidious
about having the barber jab his thumb
III the corner of his mouth to extend his
jaw he would use a spoon for that. pur-
pose. But those days are gone. Even
the talking barber is a missing link be-
tween the new and the old tonsorial
schools. AL the disagreeable features of
a shave have disappeared, and the opera
ton is now smooth and pleasant. The
only people who find anything disagree
able in the process are those who shave
themselves or who get a shave in a scent

Fourteen Strikers to Change

The ways Of the superintendent Of the
poor house or work house are not all
ways Of pleasantness, nor are his paths
all raths of peace. The last happening
on the road work was rather exciting.
Colonel Patterson, the overseer, was sick
Monday and was Obliged to lay off. He
got Jesse Stage to take charge Of the
men, working in Mangum precinct, near
Red Mountain. At breakfast Harry
Coleman, cOIOred, dcvOurei all the meat
before him, and, like Colonel Oliver
Twist, asked for more. The cook re.
plenishcd his p~late-giving him three
~rations Of meat. He still howled for
more. superintendent Leigh happened
up at this time and thought that three
rations were about enough, and told him
to try "sop.' The epicure wanted meat
or nothing. Lonny Thompson, white,
remarked that some Of the white men
around there felt ID big, and proposed
to raise a row. superintendent Leigh
told Stagg to chain them by the feet,
which he did. In the morning they re
fused to 90 to work unless the chains
were removed. Finally Leigh got a log
chain and was going to hitch them back
Of his buggy and drag 'em out a ways.
But when they discovered this they
walked.
1t commenced to rain and the crowd
sought shelter in a log house. While
there a conspiracy was on. Fourteen of
them agreed not to work another lick.
Seven were willing. Accordingly the
fourteen were put on ~bread-and a small
piece at hat. After fasting about a day
and a half they came to their work like
a duck to water.
Leigh says that some people may think
the treatment is harsh, but if it was
otherwise the whole crowd would leave.
As some of them are three year prison
crs, it is necessary to keep strict watch
Thompson is generally the leader. He
escaped some time ago, and was brought
back three weeks ago tomorrow. Log
chains and dry bread will bring EN- to
time always, and TIE GLOBE is glad
that Leigh does his duty.
