His mind was eternally dwelling upon

"Who is this woman and what does she
want of me? Is it love or vene eance
which inspires her with this fendist
coquetry?"
These were the questions he asked

PLOT TO BURN CHICAGO.
Confession of Man Unler Arrest duplicates
Anarchists.

Confession of Man Under Arrest duplicates
Anarchists.
A gigantic Anarchist plot Of the Haymarket
stripe has developed from the arrest Of the
Anarchist arson conspirators at Chicago
Nine of tie persons implicated are now under
arrest. though the leader, John Baumann,
has escaped He is now believed % be in
PHILADELPHIA or Pittsburg. where it is known
he had friends.
In the discovery Of the plots Of these men
and women, the detectives employed by the
fire insurance companies now see the reason
for 50 many mysterious fires in Chicago ana
Milwaukee during the past year. That the
recent disastrous fires in the lumber districts
were CAUSED by these Anarchists, the lire
officials have no doubt.
They had organized a new society known
as the BLACK Hand Cor the burning plan.
1t is an outgrowth of an organization OF the
same name which existed in New York some
years ago. Tho leaders Of the present body
Of incendiaries were members of the Eastern
BODY. but when the latter was broken up by
the police they came to Chicago.
In New York the "Black Hand" burned
many buildings. Its work was only discov-
cred through IN investigation into the cause
of a tenement house fire in which two per-
SONS lost their lives. This fire was traced to
members Of the "Back Hand and the
leaders Of the order were given long terms in
prison. Baumann escaped and came to
Chicago where he soon became identified
with the local reds" The ultimate inten-
ton of the society, it is declared, was to
start several fires in the city, get the entire
department out and then fire an unprotected
section Of tie city.
The lumber district was TO be the seat oil
the biz fires. and the North side, the place to
be attacked with fire brands when the North
Side engines had been forced to 90 TO the
lumber district. This stroke was to be made
some windy night, and it is now the firm be-
lief that the second big lumber yard fire was
part of the programme, as an immense bus!-
ness block on YanBuren street was set ablaze
in some mysterious manner about the time
the fire broke out in the lumber district.
The wind was blowing a gale that night
too. and it is a miracle the city was not de
stroyed. This plan was to be carried out t'
create work for the unemployed, the mem
bers of the Anarchist society claiming that t
burn the city would do away with the indus
trial depression. One of the prisoners ha
confessed enough to convince the authorize
Of the truthiulne.s Of the foregoing state
mcnts.

THE ONLY BARNuM.


Everybody went, everybody enjoyed,
Everybody Was Glad It Was Over.
Yesterday Providence had its annual
one-day circus treat, and there was
enough of the population under the tent
to have two more cities, and IL takes 10000
people to have city in this part OF the
country.
The Big triple show itself was just as
good as ever and little better, truly the
greatest thing on earth" to the
one who had never seen the
circus and still entertaining for the old
timers. Every year something new is
added, new animal or new
feature or both. The elephants have
are more daring in their leaps through
mid air, the jugglers are more expert and
the clowns moro ridiculous. That's
what keeps tho circus going. 1t

gence and human ingenuity In perform
ing feats that would seem impossible and

Last night the new feature brought out
in the morning parade was shown under
the canvas--the march of nations. Half .
hundred Crowned heads" with their
gorgeous foilowings came in and formed
in line on the hippodrome and
from America to Yankee Doodle, the d.
vision Of the United States passed in re-
view.
After the procession of royalty the ex-
traordinary people of strange lands
went from ono end to the other
OF the big tent and then the
ring performances commenced. The us
ual complaint was heard In the crowd
that human beings do not have
three eyes. But there was more
than the moneys worth of
fun In any one ring, more than enough to
even make 5000 people forget for two
hours that circus seats are not uphol-
stored.
The show concluded with the usual hip
podrome, the series of races of the dogs,
tho horses ridden by monkeys,
the horses ridden by jockeys,
the charioteers and the Cossacks. Then
IL was over for another twelve months.
The satisfied thousands fileo out
and saw the canvas which had
sheltered them coming down strip by
strip and the benches on which they had
sat tumbled down with crash as the ex-
plosion OF giant crackers.
