James Hartley Now Seeks to Recover tho
Fine and Costs He Paid.
Some time ago the parents of Willie
Smith. of High street, Pittsburgh, Pa,
entered suit against James Hartley for
alleged cruelty to their boy, who is
about 10 years old. Willie has been en-
ploycd by Hartley as printers
devil" Itseemed impossible for him to
do anything in a hurry. Mr.. Hartley
tried to brighten the boy into activity.
One day he seized lighted gasoline
torch and chased Willie about the Office
with it. Willie ran, almost scared to
death, and several times the flames
came near enough to touch his legs,
where they left mark. Alderman
Burns fined Hartley five dollars and
costs. Hartley paid the fine and dis
charged the boy. All would have been
we'll had not Mrs. Smith said the fire
cure for slowness was wonderful sue
cess, and that Willie had become re-
markably bright boy in consequence.
He is now quick-witted, hustling boy,
and will, she thinks, distinguish him
self. When Hartley heard these stories
he began to think it unjust that he had
been compelled to pay fine for work.
ing such a miracle, and he entered suit
against the parents to recover the fine
and costs paid by him.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
EAST RELIC GONE

!wsrld's Fair Statue of tho Republic RuS.
posely Burned.
One Of the few remaining monu-
Iments of the worlds fair was de-
stroyed at dawn the other morning
when torch was applied to Frances
statue of the republic. 1t was done by
order of the South Park commissioners.
for the reason that the statue was fast
crumbling to pieces, and the commits
sioners desired to raze it before it fell
into complete .dilapidation.
In the destruction of this famous work
of sculpture one Of the most admired
and striking monuments Of the Column
bian exposition is obliterated. Count
less thousands of persons gazed upon 1T,
and it was pronounced by common con-
sent one of the greatest features of the
big fair. It was colossal in proportions
and declared by critics to be a work OF
great merit.
The statue, which was modelled by
Daniel c. French, the sculptor, was go
feet high, mounted on pedestal that
rose 40 feet above the water. It lowered
from the center of the east end of the
grand basin, facing the court Of honor.
The statue, that, of woman, stood with
uplifted arms. In her right han'l she
held . sphere surmounted by an eagle.
The left hand supported staff sur
mounted by liberty cap. The whole
figure was of staff and was gilded at an
expense of $1,000. The millions of peo-
iple who saw the statue will always re-
member its imposing position In tho
Grand basin.

MAY HAVE TO RETALlATE.

Con. Gomez Likely to Punish spaniards
for Atrocities In Cuba.
Maxine Gomez, commander-in-chief
of the Cuban rebel army, writes to
Tomas Estrada Palma at tho Cuban
ljunta, in part as follows:
II am of the opinion that the Spanish
government has accomplished compare.
lively little during the summer cam
pajgn, and expect they will be able to
accomplish little more during the COM
ing winter campaign, even if 100000 re-
endorsements are brought over from
Spain. A large portion OF them are in
deed needed to cover the losses they
have already sustained and have still to
sustain.
II have made up my mind not to take
any extremely severe measure against
the Spanish troops, but they are COM
uniting such atrocities, as for instance,
around Guantanamo, where they re-

In kite flying for the purpose of get
ting wind variations at great eleva-
tons, has succeeded in producing a
kite IL feet high, having 1872 square feet
Of sail. The frame is so shaped and
placed that it bends readily in one di-
rection and is braced rigidly in the
other, SO that slightly concave shape is
obtained. The weight of the kite is
three pounds and eight ounces, so dis
tributed that it is balanced equally
from common center. The apparatus,
resembling two diamond-shaped cam
brio boxes joined by slender rods, with
no tail, has been given its first test. A
breeze of six miles an hour was blowing,
but it few the kite nearly overhead,
the angle being between rs and so de-
grees, and carrying only two feet slack
in 600 feet Of line. The strain on the
cord was between so and 100 pounds,
too great to be held in the hands. 1t is
Mr.. Hulberts intention to fly the kite
with piano wire as soon as it can be OBJ
tanned. No cord of sufficient strength
can be found to hold the kite, except
in very light breeze. AS soon as the
wire is obtained it will be used in any
kind Of wind, and recording instru-
ments will be sent up.

MAMMOTH CAVES RIVAL.

Tho Openings Under Wisconsin Blue
Mounds VIII Be Explored.
It is believed that cave which will
rival if not surpass the famous Mann
moth cave of Kentucky has been discov-
cred under the western range of the
Blue Mounds, a miniature mountain
range about 20 miles west of Madison,
Wis, near the place where Editor Hor-
ace Rublee, Charles T. Illsley, and John
r. Brigham, of Milwaukee, are about to
establish summer homes. The indica-
tions which strengthen this belief are
openings found different places. One
of these openings is found to extend
from an open well about 90 feet below
the surface in a straight line with
the trend of this aperture Is found an
other cave, and 1t is thought that these
two openings are connected, although
they are about three miles apart. Prep
arations are being made for thorough
investigation, and a prospecting party
will soon start out with the expectation
of finding a series OF underground
chambers and avenues, subterranean
rivers and lakes, and other features OF
the great caves.

THE BICYCLE IN THE ARMY.
Efforts Being Made to Introduce 1t by
Proving It's Practical Utility.

Efforts Being Made to Introduce 1t by
Proving IT'S Practical Utility.
Some time ago the manufacturer OF
well-known bicycle wrote to Lieut..
James A. Moss, U. S. A., in relation to
putting a company of soldiers on BIZ
cycles. AS result ten men vera
equipped at Fort Missoula and some Sc
we're experiments are to be made. In
speaking of the subject to a Hartford
reporter, Lieut.. Moss said:
During the last four or five years
the bicycle as practical machine for
military purposes has been attracting
the attention of military men both in
this country and abroad. In foreign
armies, however, the matter has been
Brought to more practical stage than
in this country. As early as 1870 the
bicycle was used in the Italian army.
In France, Austria, Switzerland and
other European countries there are now
in the armies regularly organized BIZ
cycle corps. Recently there have been
numerous experiments made in this
country, both by officers of the regu-
lar army and by the national guard.
The interest in the subject has so in-
creased that there is no doubt that In
the course of the next few years every
regiment in the regular army will have
its regular bicycle corps. Gen. Miles
is an enthusiast on the subject, and In
his last report recommended the or
ganization of regiment of bicycle in
fantry. have just completed the or
ganization of a bicycle corps OF ten
men at the post, which will make ex-
tensive experiments during the sum-
lner. The work that has been laid out
includes the rapid conveying of mes
sages from Fort Missoula to other posts
several hundred miles distant, the rapid
establishing of signal stations, route
sketching, scouting, road patrolling and
reconnaissance, and practice rides over
long distances with blankets, rifles, ra,
tons and shelter tents.

Physician 1T Na-au-Say, Ill, Has Novel
Invalid.
The town of Ne-au-say, in Kendall
county, ILL.,, has sensation, and all be-
cause Mrs. Platt, an invalid and member
of one of the prominent families OF
Kendall county, is obeying her physi-
clans instructions to the letter.
The family recently built new house
about three-quarters of a mile from the
old one, and, loading Mrs. Platt, who
has been i'll for year, into surrey on
an improvised cot, they started for their.
new home.
It happened that Mrs. Platt's physi-
clan had warned her about a certain
pain with which she was sometimes
afflicted. When she felt this pain COM
ing on, the physician said, no matter
where she was she was to stop and re-
main there until it had passed. Before
the surrey had proceeded far on its way
toward the new house, Mrs. Platt felt
the pain coming on. She took the doc
tors advice literally and stopped the car
side Of the road and the patient pro-
ceeded to make herself as comfortable
us possible and wait for the pain to pass.
That was four weeks ago and she has
not moved far from there since. Her
brother, j. Updyke, sleeps under the
carriage at night, and a canvas has been
rugged over the cot for protection dur
| ing the day. Whenever Mrs. Platt feels
little better the carriage is started
toward the new house and is stopped
again when the pain comes on.
| Progress has not been very rapid;
only ten rods have been covered in the
past week, but it ishoped that the fami
ly will be able to celebrate Christina.
