Two weeks ago the tug reappeared in

is merely here for repairs.

lUClNDA'S FAN.
Through its feathery bars twinkled twin littll

Through its feathery bars twinkled twin little
stars
On the gallants who came to woo.
And glimmer Of pearls
And simmer of curls
We're seen Ger its barriers blue.
And knights who had won the red roso Of the
fray
We're waved by its subtle enchantment away.
1t caught the cool zephyrs from violet wales
And rippled them over the lace.
Its yelvety tips
Knew the red Of her lips
And the delicats dimples a-race,
And, thoughtfully tapping with hesitant :ove.
1t sounded the knell of true hearts on--her
glove.
It dazzled the dreaming Of peasant and prince
In witching and wonderful way,
And the birds of the blooms
They were slain for its plumes-
Oh, its mistress was flcklo as theyi-
The envy of maid and the worship of man,
For the fame Of her face and the fate Of her
But one came to WOO with his sword at his side
And his laurel all worthiy won,
And strangely and sweet
Fluttered down at his feet
The fan-for its mission was done.
Good grace to the gallants it warded away,
But love came in triumph and gained the fair
day.

cH1cAGo's COLISEUM FIRE.
Nine Lives Werc Lost in the Burning
Of the Big Structure.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Nine persons were
lost in the fire which destroyed the
Coliseum building Friday night. Those
who are now known to have perished
are: Joseph Byrnes Of Hoboken, N. j.,
employed In the beauty exhibit"
Howard Geyser of Wilmington, Del,
decorator, employed in the beauty ex-
hibit; Sholan Huffian, Armenian, en-
ployed in the Streets of Cairo exhibi-
ton; N. H. Johnson, carpenter; ]. A.
Malosoum, Turk. employed In the
Streets OF Cairo exhibition; Certie Will
son, of the Streets of Cairo exhibit;
two women, dancers In the Midway;
unknown woman. There were large
number injured. but 1t Is not thought
that their wounds and burns will prove
fatal.
The fire was one Of the quickest ever
seen in Chicago. In 20 minutes from the
time the fire was discovered there was
not girder standing. All the walls
are down except those on the ends, and
all that marks the place where the
building stood Is mass of twisted iron
and bricks. The loss of life might have
been terrible If the fire had broken out
a few minutes before it did, as then
the visitors to the Midwinter fair would
have been caught in the building. The
total loss is $702,35 There is little
prospect that any attempt at rebuilding
will be made.
