DARK CLOUD OVER CHICAGO

terday afternoon aud sent a black
shadow over the city. Thousands OF
citizens were startled and mya:ifiei
by tins sudden transition from day to
pight and thought cyclone was COM
ing.
In few minutes the sun slione
again. Then for four times, like a sue
cession OF tidal waves, the darkness
swept over the city and lost Itself in
the grey cloud that hung over the lake.
Each wave was less dense than its PEE
decessor, but each was still dense
enough TO compel attention until IL
han rolled its course and vanished.
Dlring the first spell there were any
numter OF collisions between street
cars aud other vehicles. Many persons
were caught in dangerous places In
front OF vehicles and the crossing
policsl were in n qunndary, out Of
which they were nly.rescued by the
return Of light. When traffic was re-
sumed, after the resumption o. day.
light, the street cars that came from
the other divisions were equipped
with headlights anu filled with nery-
QUE passengers.

hurbor was one OF toe darkest spots In
the city. The wind lifted up and
deposited an unusually large lot OF
smoke and fog anu clouJe there, and
In TACT, all along the Lake shore. On
the north side women in their homes
were seriously frightened. 30 were the
men, Tor some Of them climbed into
their Cyclone cellars.
The nrst rumor that got abroad
when 1t was light enough TO find one'a

cyclone In South Chicago where
havoc had been played. But prompt
Investigation showed this to be untrue,
while equally prompt reports came ia
from other SECTIONS and many suburbs
that there had been. darkness but no

TOO SUCCESSFUL IMITATION.

The other day when Mr.. Fitzsimmons
knocked him down and out he set an
example which has been followed only
too faithfully. Since then people whose
ambition is to make their fists felt have
been aiming for the solar plexus of
their opponents. And at least two of
them have reached it even more effec-
lively than Fitz reached the solar pick
us of jim Oddly enough these two
hold forth in Philadelphia, the city of
Quakers and brotherly love- Edward
Gibbons and Samuel S. Perry of that
city fought three rounds and Gibbons
went down under heavy blow over
the heart Two hours later he died in a
hospital. Neither of these men had eX-
perience as boxers or fighters, although
both were well developed physically.
Christian Keiluecker and Frank Con-
nelly tried a couple of rounds and the
former got the worst of the set-to. being
hit on the solar plexus. The next
morning he was found in bed uncon-
scious. and died after being removed to
hospital.
These Philadelphia events" indicate
that those who aspire to be imitators
of the great F'itz will do well to use a
little judgment. Fitz didn't kill Cor
bett, but the stories of the fight all
agree in the statement that Corbett
didn't have very encouraging look on
his face when his solar plexus was nit
He was well trained to resist the blow
and was able to come out with his ply
steal heart unbroken, though his emo
tional heart was badly shattered. But
those who are not in just the right
shape to be thumped on the solar plex-
us will do well to avoid such humping,
and those who do not want to be the
chief figure in a trial for manslaughter
will do well to be careful how they imi-
tate FitZ.
