"SMALLPOX HERE"
A Young Girl Hangs n Sign on a
Friends Door Bell,

A Young Girl Hang. n Sign on n
Friends Door Bell.
Mortified because her friend failed to in
vite her to become one of a party of twelve
ladies who gathered Monday to receive
jointly the New Year calls of their friends,
young miss fifteen years OF age, daugh-
ter of West Side physician at Chicago,
adopted most effective method of revenge
All the parties are members of prominent
West Side churches. few weeks ago
while discussing plans for the holidays it
was suggested that the twelve meet at Miss
RS house on New Year day and entertain
their friends together. The suggestion was
adopted.
As the shades of right began to fall
Monday, carriage after carriage rolled up to
the home of Miss R., and from each one
descended gaily attired New Year callers
But for some mysterious reason they all
entered their carriages again and drove
away without ringing the bell.
The evening passed rapidly away. The
young ladies' waited and wondered as they
heard carriage after carriage roll up but
no enc applied for admittance. The girls
could not understand 1t. Eleven O'Clock
arrived, and crying from sheer mortifica-
ton, they put on their wraps and prepared
to go home. Not A soul had called to see
them.
In the house adjoining Miss Grace was
fairly beside herself with exultation She
had had her revenge. Early in the even
ing she carefully put up on the front door
OF her neighbor's house a card which bore
the inscription: Smallpox here"

MIR. HIGINBOTHAM ANGRY.
He Declares the Attack In London
Papers Unwarranted by the Facts.

The article in yesterdays London Truth
against the worlds fair management to the
effect that all is now chaos connected with
the fair, that exhibits still on the ground
have been left without protection from
looters, and that there is small prospect of
foreign exhibitors receiving their goods
again in safety, is denounced by President
H. n. Higinbotham as false in every par
ticular
There isn't word of truth in the whole
thing" said Mr.. Higinbotham yesterday.
They say we are slow in making ship
ments do they? Well, that Is not our fault
but the fault Of the exhibitors themselves.
Here is an Illustration. Down at the
grounds there are $50 cars Of goods of the
German exhibit. Why don't they ship them?
The cars are there, the goods are packed,
and the railroads ready and willing to haul
them to the seaboard. But the Germans
are not ready
1t takes figuring to dispose of a matter
OF this kind. In the first place, all the cars
must arrive at the same time at the East
ern port. There must be ship in waiting
there and It must be the right kind of a
vessel for receiving the goods and also for
the careful delivery in Germany. These
conditions cannot be brought about Off
hand, and that is the reason the Germans
still retain their goods at the grounds.
THE fact is continued Mr.. Higinboth-
am. there are not many displays left at
the fair. Not over 100 domestic exhibits
remain, and they can be taken away when
ever the owners are ready. The foreigners
are receiving every courtesy at our hands.
The charge that exhibits have been left
unprotected Is equally false"
