CHICAGO, March 10.-Riot broke loose
in the Illinois State Home for Juvenile
Offenders on Indiana avenue Tonight.
Ihlrty-four, ranging in years from 10 to
Is, rose in rebellion against the matron.
Mrs. Dayton. Mrs. Dayton and her as
sistants were powerless to control their
charges and were compelled to shut
themselves il rooms to escape their al
most trenzied assailants. The girls went
through the house, breaking furniture
aud windows and smashing crockery
and everything they could lay their
hands on. The police were summoned
and restored order, but had no easy time,
as the ringleaders fought desperately.
-Four OF the most prominent of the girls
were arrested.
Ihe troubles arose over the punishment
given by Matron Dayton to Mamie Davis,
10 years OF age. According TO the girls,
however, the uprising was due TO great
dissatisfaction among the girls over their
treatment in general. 1t arose particu-
larry because OF a system of punishment
which Included imprisonment in a dark
room ten by twelve feet in size, the cul-
prlt being secured to the floor by heavy
chain, and also system of dieting in
which the offender was not allowed
meat, and was halt-starYed.

The Ancient Peak of Orizaba in a
State of Eruption.
EARTH SHAKEN FOR ONE HUNDRED
MILES AROUND.
Great Alarm Existing Among DwoIl-

and Other Viilages-The Present
Eruption in the Heart OF the Best
Land In Mexico.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.

cpGCliI 10 the lSECORD-ONlON.
CORDoEAG (State of Vera CRUZ, March
0.-The peak Of Orizaba, an ancient vol
cano, is in a state of eruption. The signs
Of disturbance began to manifest them
selves last Sunday night, and have in
creased in force constantly since that
time. 1t is now vomiting poisonous
gases, and thick volumes of smoke ara
emitted from a hundred apertures.
The earth for 100 miles around is
shaken perCeptibly with subterranean
vibrations. 4 great alarm exists among
the dwellers in the city of Cordoba,
Orizaba. kalopa and dozens of small viii
lagos scattered within the scope of the
strange and interesting phenomenon.
The shocks have not yet been of a seri-
GUS nature, and no damage from them
has been reported. The rim of the crater
glows like fire, and the thick gases roll
ing down the mountain sides have set
aHame the grass and vegetation clothing
the sides to the summit, which adds to
the density OF the smoke and the grand
eur OF the spectacle.
For the public safety, the Governor of
the State OF Vera Cruz will shortly name
commission of scientists to make an
investigation into the eruption, and
make recommendations looking to the
protection of the inhabitants OF the neigh
boring villages.
The present eruption is in the heart Of
the best improved land in Mexico. The
coffee plantations are not as yet thought
TO be IN danger of damage, nor will they
be unless fall OF thick ashes occurs,
which IS not considered probable.
Masses are being said in all the
churches Of the locality To ward OIL the
impending danger. Coming soon after
the late destructive volcano activities in
many parts OF the republic, the eruption
OF Orizaba has many terrors, not only to
the people in its vicinity, but 30 all living
IN the great volcanic belt of Mexico,
stretching from the active volcano OF
CoHma on the west coast in unusual
eruption clear to the Gulf of Mexico on
the east. Within this belt are numbered
dozens of old craters, either in repose or
smoking constantly. 1t is natural to sup
pose that should the eruptiUus continue,
the other volcanoes will be affected and a
general earthquake period set in.
The consequences of such a catastrophe
are hard TO tell, but could hardly be any
thing less than very disastrous To Puobla,
Me&Ico City and the hundreds OF other
towns i'll the heart of Mexico.

BEALE STREETS GRADE.
Ex-Supervisor Dundon Is Looking Up
Some Law to Enable Him to
Lower 1t.

Ex-Supervisor Dundon is very much
chagrined over the action of the Street
Committee of the Board of Supervisors in
deciding to report against the proposition
to lower the grade of Beale street twenty
feet at its crossing with Harrison.
Il am not so sure that the Supervisors
have the right to ignore the petition of a
majority of the property-owners in mat
ter of this kind, said he. Our PROPOSE
ton entails no expense on the City. We
simply want the right to make the i'm
proyement-and Improvement it certainly
is. Why, this thing has been talked over
for the last thirty years, and the Super
visors have always favored it, but some
technicality has stood in the way until
now. The whole manufacturing and
merchandising end of town is in favor of
it, for it gives an outlet from the water
front to the upper business part of town
for heavy draying.
81 am going to look into the law of the
matter, and If the majority have any legal
rights in such matter we shall apply
them"

BUTTER TO MAKE CHEESE,
1t Can Be Used by Dairymen
to the Extent of Three
Per Cent.
A Question Settled for the Dairy
Bureau by the Attorney
General.

A law was passed some time ago making
it compulsory to make cheese out of either
pure milk or cream. In order that it
should be properly carried out the State
Dairy Bureau was organized and given
supervision OF all the cheese factories in
the State.
Lately the question has arisen as to
whether it was breach of the law to use
butter in the manufacture of cheese and
the bureau submitted the question to At
torney-General Fitzgerald for his decision.
The latter holds that 'the law which re-
quires cheese to be made out of pure milk
or cream is not violated by the addition of
not to exceed per cent of butter made
from cream"
The law further requires that all cheese
made in part or in whole from any other
substance than milk or cream shall be
stamped Substitute for cheese" On this
point the Attorney General holds that
cheese made from milk and butter does
not require to be so stamped. Both of
these decisions will be read with a great
degree of interest by dairymen and cheese
makers, as they have been afraid to use
butter in the making of cheese for fear of
an infraction of the law. The Attorney
General will forward his opinion to the
chairman of the State Dairy Bureau. to-day,
and it will set all doubts at rest on the

TIE OHILDiS ESTATE.
Will Become an Object of Controversy in the
Probate Court.

Will Become an Object of Controversy in the
Probate Court.
Edward Sterling Mathews, by his attor-
ney, G. Gunzendorfer, yesterday petitioned
the Probate Court for letters of guardian
ship over his child Martha, commonly
called "Mattie."
The petition recites that Mathews has
lived in the State for six years and that the
child is the offspring of himself and Jen-
ME Mathews, his wife. He says that the
child's estate requires the care of fit and
proper person. 1t consists principally of a
benefit policy for $1,000 in the Order of
Chosen Friends, which will not pay the
money until it can obtain proper release.
The father is stated to be the natural guar
dian OF his minor child.
Judge Coffey ordered the usual citation
to relatives to appear in his court on June
to show cause why the petitioner should
not be appointed guardian.
This is said by attorneys to be virtually an
initiation of contest for the possession OF
the money. Should the order refuse to
pay it TO Mathews as legal guardian of the
child suit would be instituted against the
order and the latter might come into court
and force Winthrop, as trustee of the child,
to interpIead, so as to settle the claims OF
guardianship.
