MRS. POTTER pALmER's SALARY.


Question as 70 whether 10 Shall Be
Paid in Isabella Quarter. -
Washington. ID c.. June - The treas
ury department has written Mrs. Potter
Palmer 20 forward her bin for salary due
her as president of the ladies board in
order that "a ruling may be had on Ethe
payment of her salary in Isabella quarter
dollars. Owing 20 the peculiar wording
of the law authorizing the souvenir quar-
tiers there was danger that the ladies
board would not secure possession OF the
coins, but that they would be paid out by
the treasury on vouchers 10 the various
creditors of the board. As Mrs Palmers
salary has not been paid since she became
president she Is now one of the largest
creditors She draws $50 "a month,
which she turns over 10 her clerk. This
has left an accumulation Of about $1,000
due her personally for salary. The de-
partment is disposed TO pay this amount
in the Isabella coins, but in the letter
sent her no ruling is made, as Secretary
Carlisle wants the bills formally pre-
scented before deciding The entire issue
of Isabella quarters is only $4,000, so that
her salary covers nearly the entire issue.
1t is understood that Mrs. Palmer takes
this course in behalf of the ladies board
in order to keep the coins from passing
into the hands of private parties, who
would sell them at four or five times their
value.

FAMOUS D1cKEY SOCIETY DEAD
The Harvard College Organization
Falls Victim to Intense Jealousy.

The Harvard College Organization
Falls a Victim to Intense Jealousy.
Boston, Mass, June 25.-The famous
Dickey society, of Harvard college, is ex-
tinct, and there will be no more burnings
of candidates with lighted cigars, no more
freaks backing boots on Boston streets,
no more wealthy sons parading in straw
hats and tennis suits and leading poodle
dogs on a wintlY day. Not only has the
Dickey practically taken its own life, but
it has placed IN jeopardy the existence of
the institute of no, and has widened the
gulf of jealousy between the three most
powerful secret organizations at Harvard,
the Alpha Delta Phi, Zeta Psi and the
Delta Phi. 1t was simply matter of in
ternal disorder, Every year just before
the class races, ten freshmen are elected
to membership To this first ten is given
the power, in their sophomore year, of
electing ten members of this class Then
these twenty members elect ten more of
their brethren, and so on until sixty mem
bers are on the list. If the first ten are
not elected, the, others cannot be, and as
the Dickcy is a sophomore society, none
of the older members can do the business.
The first ten have not been elected, and
the Dickey is consequently dead.

Way.
Chicago, Ill, June Turkeys fire de
partment at the Worlds Fair did its first

characteristic of the Orient The fire
started in the kitchen OF a German res
taurant.
When the call was sent in the Turkish
sedan chair carriers, who act as firemen
when it is necessary, started to get ready
to do their duty. The first thing they
did was to change their clothing When
the task was accomplished they got hold
of the private hand fire engine and
walked across the street They were
bundled out of tho way when the regular
tremen arrived, and the flames were ex

sTRTCK BY LIGHTNING AND
LIVES.
The Remarkable Case of William
Waugh, a West Virginia Farm Hand.

The Remarkable Case of William
Waugh, West Virginia Farm Hand.
From the New York Tribune
Wheeling, w. Va, June 22.-On Thurs
day last William Waugh, farm hand,
was struck by lightning while hOeing
corn near here, and he lives to-day. The
young man has no recollection of the Oc-
currence whatever. 1t is supposed that
1t happened about half-past o'clock, and
after it he wandered to the house of Mr.
Ribble. He has no recollection
of this, and his senses. never re-
turned to him till the next day. He is
yet dazed, though able to go about. The
current entered his head on the left side
above the ear leaving two cuts about an
inch and a half in length, passing on each
side of his ear around under his chin
to the center of the breast bone,
thence down the centre of
the abdomen to the pelvis, separated and
passed down his legs. The main force,
however, seems to have been confined to
the left side. As it passed out through
the shoes it made large hole in the bot
tom of them and tore the metal buckle off
one of them. The trousers he wore were
rent to strings, and his hat was torn to
pieces. The effects of the electrical cur
rent resem bled those which would be left
if hot iron were drawn over the skin and
run. the entire distance from his head to
the bottom of his feet. The points of en-
trance and exit were the worst burned.
1t is evident that the young mans brain
is still seriously affected, as he only
answers questions, and always in
monosyllables. 1t is the opinion of the
attending physician, however, that his
mind win be perfectly restored in a short
time.

lived in a log cabin; but it was large and

carpeted; we had plenty to eat and plenty
to wear. But we raised everything our
selves. and made our own cloth. We had
no money to so to stores, even if we had
been near any and so we we felt very,
very poor. There were two things we

Those two things were salt mackerel and

Little Girl-"Ooo Why, what did you

Grandma Nothing but beef, mutton,
chicken, vension, quail, squirrels, wild
ducks, brook trout and such things; and
as for molasses, we hadn't anything but

A ROW ON A TRAIN.
Two Negroes Fatally Cut by a Couple

Columbus, Ga, June 26.-Yesterday
afternoon when an excursion train on the
Mobile and Girard railway was return

A Model Manager.

A more graceful, gracious and able
presiding officer than Mrs. Potter
Palmer can hardly be imagined.
Beautiful and always faultlessly
dressed in pretty summer gowns which
fit her charming little figure to perfec-
ton, Mrs. Palmer stands at the long
table in the board room of the lady
managers of the worlds fair welding
her little mallet with Judgment and
tact. All sorts of unpleasant clements
are to be met in the little company.
One state thinks itself sighted in the
general distribution of jurors of award;
another complains that her schemes
are not followed; third asserts that
she has been maliciously treated and
fourth wishes passes for her family to
the third and fourth generation. But
Mrs. Palmers mental endowment is
fully equal to her physical gifts, and
she keenly foresees and averts con-
troversy. She told belligerent mem
Der, who lately insisted on examining
the secretarys minutes, that mo bust
ness will be transacted until members
are seated" and thus she ingeniously
guides her troubled bark away from
shoals and quiclisands. 1t is Il fine les
son in parliamentary law to spend an
hour in studying her methods The
man who sits by, and who is said to
have been her teacher in these matters,
is rarely consulted now

WORLDS FAIR VISITORS.
They Are as Much of Sight as the Ex-
hibition Itself.


The best cataloguers would not have
included in their lists all the sights of
the fair. One of the most interesting
sights of all, for example, is the sight
seers themseves-quitea as amusing and
as instructive, too, for the curious OBJ
server of humanity, its foibles aud its
virtues, as anything in Prof. Putnam's
department of anthropology. The
crowd is not exactly of the kind that
flocked to the Centennial exposition in
1876, and decidedly not of that sort
that thronged the Champ de Mars in
Paris in 1889. 1t is more sophisticated
than the former and less joyous and at
! the same time less truly appreciative of
its opportunity than the latter. The
Americans have grown perceptibly in
culture and grace since the Centennial
brought them together to exhibit them
selves and their crudeness TO commiser-
ating foreigners, and the growth is
strongly impressed upon the observer.
Along with the linen buster, which was
the distinguishing outward mark of the
American citizen at Philadelphia in
1876, we seem to have discarded good
deal else that was bucolic in mental at
titude as well as in physical appearance
The people now here impress you as a
rule as being people who are well-read
in contemporary human history, and ac-
customed to seeing something of life.
They know how to carry themselves
with fair degree of dignity and grace,
and are well-informed of what has
been going on in the world in recent
years. Providence Or. ~ journal.
