WAS A WHEELING MAN.

w w. Glass Was the Gentleman Operated
rnon in Chicago, as Chronicled Yesterday.
The telegraphic item published IN
Yesterdays issue of the Register, ABOUT
a remarkable surgical operation per-
formed upon John Glass, OF Engle-
wood, "a laborer in an iron founory'
was strange admixture OF truth, IN
accuracy and imagination.
The gentleman was MI. W. W. Glass;
formerly of this city, brother OF Mi.
AL. Glass, secretary of the Wheeilng
Corrugating Works, and who is not
only well known here, but VINO mas
manv friends and relatives in Wheel
inc. He is not a 'laborer," but for
the past five or six years has been a
book-keeper in Chicago, at first for the
Dewey Storage and Ice Company, and
more recently for an electrical COM
pany.
Mr.. Glass, who was Familiarity known
during his residence in Wheeling as
" w OOQ GlGSS, was d sui VI LliC law
Andrew Glass, and is about forty-five
or six years Of age. His father was
one of the principal owners of the La
Belle iron works when the firm name
was Bailey, Woodward & Co., and
there Mr.. Glass learned the trade
of a mailer, and followed that
vocation. On account Of failing health
he gave up the business, and purchased
a sheep ranch in Texas, where he lived
for some time, but returned to this
city, and then determined to locate in
Chicago. He resided in Englewood,
and has been a boCk-keeper since his
sojourn there, as stated. An operation,
similar to the one chronicled yester-
day. but not nearly SO successful,
was performed on Mr.. Glass about a
year ago. His complete recovery will
be earnestly hoped for by many rela-
tives and friends in this city.

Yesterday morning was fairly fail"

Of L. Schaffer & Co.'S, on Market street,
just south of Fourteenth, was blown
over and partially wrecked, and on
being righted was blown over a second

ties and umbrellas being well scatter
ed over the sidewalk.
The Grand Opera House advertising

in a strong gust of wind at the inter-
section of Sixth street and blown
against a telegraph post. The colli-
sion turned the wagon on its side and
the driver jumped from his seat just
in time to prevent contact with the
horse, which began kicking viciously
in all directions. The hose had to be
taken out of the shaft and rehitched
to the vehicle in order to straighten
the peculiar mixup.

RUssIA's PRICELESS JEWELS
Gems Worth a Kings Ransom Ex-
hibited In the Hermitage.

"a whole guide book devoted simply
to the Hermitage could give no sort Of
idea of the barbaric splendor of its be
longings,' writes Lillian Bell of the ia
nous st. Petersburg museum. "1ts riches
are beyond belief. Even the presents giv'
en- by the emir of Bokhara to the car are
splendid enough to dazzle one like re-
alization of the Arabian Nights. But to
see the most valuable of all, which are
kept in the emperors private vaults, is
to be reduced to state of bewilderment
bordering on idiocy. 1t is astonishing
enough, to one who has bought even one
Russian belt set with turquoise enamel,
to think Of all the trappngs OF a horse
bit, bride, saddlegirth, saddle cloth ana
all-made OF cloth of gold and set in solid
turquoise enamel with the sword hilt,
scabbard, belts, and pistol handle and
holster made of the same. Well, these
are there by the roomful. Then you come
TO the private jewels, and you see all
these same accoutrements made of prec-
io,ls stones-one OF solid diamonds, an
other Of diamonds, emeralds, topazes and
rlbies"

THE BUILDINGS AT OMAHA
Exposition IL Handsome and the Ar
rnnsement Is Artistic.

The Omaha exposition grounds are as
l whole very handsome. They are di-
vided into three parts. One contains the
state buildings, the grand plaza and
Horticultural hall. This is connected by
two yiaducts over the city streets with
,he main court, on which are the United
States government buildings, the halls OF
line arts, liberal arts, mines andt mining,
agriculture, manufactures, machinery
and electricity, girls and boys build
ing and the Auditorium. The third sec
ton is entered from the main tract
through a handsome arch, and contains
the agricultural implement and transpor
tation buildings, the dairy and apiary
and several individual exhibitions, the ir-
rigation show, the live stock exhibit and
the international building consisting
mostly of booths for the sale of souvenirs
and specimens. 1t is in this part of the
grounds that the Midway and the amuse
ment features are found; the log cabin
restaurant and various other small eat
ing places, more or less attractively set
forth. The main tract presents an ar
tistic effect. Upon entering, a descent is
made by broad stone steps upon the
grand court, which has a lagoon running
the whole length. Opposite the entrance,
at the extreme end of the canal, stands
the United States government building,
and up and down on either side the 9TH
ers already mentioned. Some of the
buildings are tinted an ivory white,
which is an improvement over the daz-
zling pure white. The effect is more ar
tistic as well as more agreeable. There
are no trees in this tract. on the main
court but attractive decoration is made
with pots of oleanders, both white and
pink, and in such profusion as to: give
quite a tropical effect to the grounds.
There are, of course, gondolas on the la
coon, and fountain which at night is
made resplendent by electricity. The ar
chitects have aimed to give an effect as a
whole to this court, and all the buildings
are modelled and arranged to that end,
and with success.

30, 3 p. M. via st. Thomas Aug. L.
General Miles hourly expects the arriv-
al of the transports having on board
Bri@adier General Schwan's division OF
| 5000 men. and also the Mohawk with
the Fifth regular cavalry.
General Henry's division, consisting OF
34oO men. and including 26 pieces of ar
tillery, has been ordered to march inn
mediately to Iauco from Ponce to be
ready to Join in the movement north to

eight miles north of Ponce, Ell route 20
San Juan
Word reached here this afternoon that
the Spaniards were numbering native Pu-
erto Ricans, violating women and indulg-
ing in general outrages.
The first real resistance is expected
when our troops reach Aibonito, 50 miles
northeast of here.
Miles says he has no intention of MAX
ing a landing of troops at San Juan, es-
pecially as the place is only roadstead,
where transports are liable to suffer from
prevalent storms.
The railroad from Ponce to Yauco is
now in possession of our troops General
Stone found five mines on the track.
These were destroyed and the track is
unin ured.

The mayor of Ponce has called upon
the residents of that place to exercise
calmness and circumspection under the
new and desirable conditions.
Miles has issued lengthy orders of in
structions to General Wilson as military
governor of Ponce province and the city
until General Brooke's arrival 1t is of
the same tenor as the instructions which
Miles gave to .Shafter at Santiago. Both
orders are based on the administration
instructions given to General Merritt re-
garding the government of the Philippine
islands.
The question of proper discount on Pu
erto Rican silver gives some trouble to
General Miles, but he says this will set
tie itself III due time.
Chaplain Chadwick of the Cincinnati
introduced to General Wilson this morn
ing two of the leading Jesuits of Ponce,
a thousand churches and
their dependents in this province. The
priests wanted information regarding
their support and General Wilson said
under the constitution of the United
States it was not possible to apply any
government money for church purposes.
Spanish volunteers continue to come in
and give themselves up.

The smelter has run three days alto

of metallic copper. About 80 tons of ore
can be run through per day, which makes
the yield of copper about 33 per cent. all
through. something no other camp in the
world can show. Good iron ore has been
found on Crooked river and everything
except coke, necessary to work the ores,
can be found in the district
