.HA|LSTORN IN CHICAGO
WORST EXPERIENCE IN SIXTY
YEARS.
a Forty Mile Gale and Hailstones as
Big as Walnuts Come Together
Much Damage Done.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-IIailstones i'm
size from peas to fully developed wal
nuts bombarded Chicago for half an
hour this morning and gave it the
worst humping it has had in its six
ty years existence. The hail was ac-
companied by forty mile gale, pre-
ceded and followed by a heavy rain
storm.
People driving home along the bou-
levards and hackmen stationed at the
different depots and hotels had eXcit-
ing experiences. They horses could
not understand the beating they were
getting and runaways started in ev-
cry direction.
The scene at the Northwestern de-
pot was not unlike a stampede of wild
horses. The cab horses broke and ran
about. at the same time knocking ov-
err pedestrians and whacking off the
wheels right and left. The trouble
was duplicated in less serious form
at the Union. Polk street, Wisconsin
Central and Illinois Central depots.
Four serious runaways occurred on
Michigan boulevard, between jackson
and Twelfth streets. Mrs. +. l.. John
son, driving home with her three
children in a surrey, was thrown out
and seriously hurt, but the children
jumped out and escaped unhurt. Sew
eral large plate glass windows in the
business district were blown in and
some of the sky scrapers lost as high
as sixty windows The magnificent
conservatories at Lincoln and Wash
ington parks. and those at the resi-
| dences of Potter Palmer. Mrs. George
NJ. Pullman, Fred w. Peck and the
late General Terrence, were seriously
damaged. In fact there is scarcely
a house in Chicago tonight that is
not shy one or more window panes.
Thousands of birds were stunned
and killed by the hail. and dozens of
small boys went along the lake front,
| Washington and Lincoln parks, pick
ing up sparrows in baskets in eXpec-
| tation of finding a market for them
! along Water street in the morning.
! Private eNpressmen also reaped n
harvest by hauling off timber from
/ blown down bllboarls.
Quite a panic was created among
/ the horses and buffalo under the tents
of Buffalo Bills Wild West show. and
It was with the greatest difficulty
that a stampede was prevented.
| The property damage will amount
! to at least $25O.000.

The Retaining Fee that Stranger
Gave Young Lawyer.
Judge Bobbs is one of those men who
have attained standing ia their pro-
fession that permits them to admit
faults In their earlier career without
impairing their present standing as able
lawyers.
Il once had an experience while
coming west on train from New York
that I'll never forget" tells the Judge.
after three other gentlemen and my
self had played whist for couple Of
hours, we fell to discussing numerous
subjects of current interest. One of
our number seemed to he absorbed in
his own meditations and contributed
but little to the conversation. Finally,
as pertinent to a subject under conSid-
Grafton, he propounded somewhat
complex problem in law and turned to
me for an answer, for | had not neg
lected to make known my calling.
Not being able to furnish him with
Il solution, foolishly sought to cover
my Ignorance by n resort to dignity and
a pretended regard for professional
ethics. This is not the time or place
for transacting legal business said l.
The question you submit Is very i'm
portant one'-I went on, with the sol
emnity of an owl and about the same
degree Of wisdom. L would be glad
to give you the benefit of my opinion
and advice at my office and after re-
ceiving a retainer With that hand
ed him my card, on which appeared the
fact that l was an attorney and coun-
selor-at-law, notary public, member of
sure-thing collection agency, real es-
tate operator, Circuit Court commits
sioner, and life insurance man.
HE looked ut the thing in an amused
way. reached into his pocket, handed
me q half dollar with the remark that
he had nothing smaller, and repeated
his law question. While | was ar
ranging to thrash him one Of the other
men whispered to me that 1t was Rufus
Choate. l sneaked into the smoker,
pulled my cap over my face, and never
removed 1t TIL l reached the home
