The wonder of the nineteenth century is the Crystal Maze, corner of Second avenue and Twenty-first street. It attracted the notice of hundreds of thousands at the Worlds Fair. as it has in every city of prominence in the country. It is the grand est and most gorgeous puzzle of the decade, and yet while being such, affords amuse- ment by the hour. Entering beautiful door way you plunge into the labyrnthian depths of a crystal cavern. On all sides persons are seen yet not to be touched, for mammoth plate glass mirrors intervene. You start forward only to be confronted by your own immage; you turn and again behold yourself reflected an hundred times. You start forward again. It is easy for a time, when suddenly you come face to face with a group of friends who, however, are perhaps thirty or forty feet away.

BIG ROBBERY PLANNED.
Conspiracy to Loot Dawson of @4,-
100000 is Made Known.

San Francisco, April 28.-A special
from Victoria, B. c., says: By the ar
rival of the Ningchow news is received
of the existence of a secret band in the
lower water of the Yukon whose lead
ers contemplate the most gigantic rob-
berry in the history of America The
story is told by Dick Chamberlain of
Circle City, who Joined the pirate band
on cOmpulsiOn.
'"The band,'' he says, sis composed of
the most desperate thieves, gamblers
and cut-throats in the north country
and it contemplates a sudden descent
on the stores of the two commercial
companies at Dawson City, the blowing
of their safes, as well that of the
government commissioner and the new
~ established bank, and the caching Of
spoils four miles below the city until
the proceeds of the gigantic steal can be
run down the river on a stolen river
boat"
On the argument of being able to OBJ
tain much valuable information Cham
berlain prevailed on the gang to send
him ahead to scout and thus he es-
capped. 1t is said that upward of 81

FRANCHISE KILLED.
Peoria Council Defeats the Central
Railway Company's Attempt

Peoria, ILL.,, April 2S.-Peoria has no
use for f1fty-year franchises under the
Allen law or any other law, and last
night thwarted the Central Railway
company's attempt to secure the pas
sage of the ordinance which has been
before the council for several weeks.
Several hundred citizens thronged the
council chamber and showed their ap-
prevail by cheering and waving of hats
for ten minutes after the ordinance had
been laid on the table.
Acting Mayor Carroll feared trouble
and a squad of fifteen policemen was
present at the meeting to preserve or
der. When an alderman favoring the
ordinance arose to speak he was Kissed.
The defeat came on the motion to adj
journ by Alderman German, who IA
vored the ordinance. The first and sec
ond ballots resulted Z to z. The third,
to 5 against adjournment. Alderman
Fash said he made a mistake and want
ed to vote in favor of adjourning. This
made the vote to 6. Alderman Fash
was Kissed down.
Alderman German, who lead the Cen
trails forces, seeing that the majority
was against the ordinance, moved that
the ordinance be laid the table,
which was done amid cheering. 1t
takes a tWo-thirds vote to bring up the
ordinance again, and this vote is con-
Sidered impossible.

Julia Arthur, the talented actress,

The marriage occurred in New York
over a month ago, and has been known

a few of their most intimate friends.
Benjamin Pierce Cheney is not only
one of the wealthiest men in Boston,

WILL MAKE PROTEST.
And Then Silver Men Will Let the
Bond Bill Pass.

Washington, April 2S!-Whi1 there is
no doubt that the senators of all par
ties who advocate the free coinage of
silver will oppose the bond feature of
the war revenue bill, the present pros
pect is that they will not seek to delay
it's passage on account of that provis-
ion. Senators Teller, Pettigrew and
Butler all expressed the opinion today
that this would be the course pursued.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, declined to
express any opinion upon the point,
saying there had been no exchange of
views upon it among the Democratic
senators. The bond provisions proba-
bly, will be stricken out of the bill in
the committee on finance and restored
in the senate. The full Democratic
strength of the finance committee is re-
lied upon to oppose the provision.
Senator Jones of Nevada is counted
upon to support motion to eliminate
decisive as he holds the balance of
power in the committee. In the event
that the bill is reported to the senate
without the bond clause, the Republi-
cans will move to reinSert it after it is
reported and in this way they hope to
succeed with the assistance of several
Democratic votes. The present idea of
the silver Republicans and Populists is
to let the majority pass the bill. in the
shape that suits them, after a compar-
atiVely brief debate. They will find
occasion to state their position explic-
lilly, making clear their opposition to
bonds, but they will not attempt to de-
lay the passage of the measure by de-
bate that would prove ehectual for
nothing but delay.

IN A WOMAN's CLOTHES
An Aged New York Man Solicited
Aims.

New York, April ga human curio
in the shape of an old man dressed in
women's clothes, which he had adopted
to excite the sympathy of charitably in
clined persons, from whom he solicited
aims, was arraigned in Jefferson Mar
ket police court this morning. The GU
rio was found by Policeman Traintor of
the Charles street station while he was
begging last night.
Here's something you can have if
you give it a name he said to the ser
geant at the desk. The sergeant did
not look the prisoner over intently and
asked the question: whats your name,
madam, and where do you Hve?"
The reply came in a deep, gruff voice:
George w. Allen, 319 West Twelfth
street."
Allen wore a woman's complete outfit,
from little sailor hat with blue flowers
down to women's shoes; and so cleverly
had he put them on that the sergeant
would not for a long time believe the
prisoner was a man.
When asked the reason for appearing
in such a garb the man answered that
he was accustomed to wearing Women's
clothes to help him get charity. Allen
said he was so years old and that he had
lost SO, 900 in Wall street. When AL
len was arraigned he was committed
to Bellevue hospital to have his sanity
examined into.
