Beating an Avalanche.

One of the most exciting Alpine ad-
ventures on record was Mr.. Tuekett's
race with an avalanche on the Elger
glacier in 1871. lie was ascending the
glacier with two friends and guide.
Says Travel:
The glacier sloped somewhat steeply,
and on the upper part above the climb
ers, a mass of loose, freshly fallen
snow had collected. Suddenly the tray
elers heard u laundering noise aud
perceived huge mass Of snow and Ice
sliding down toward them. They
could only try to reach tho rocks at the
side OF the glacier, hoping to do so
before the avalanche should sweep
them away. Through the knee deep
snow they ran for their Ives.

A travelling tinker out of work he
moaned his hard luck to sympathetic
glazier.
"Tll soon put that right for you
said the glazler. "Just come up to
that big hotel over there in half an
hours time and you'll find work"
Accordingly the tinker made his APP
pearance at the appointed time and
found himself In great request, as all
the good wife's pots and pans had mys-
teriously sprung leaks.
Needless to say the glaZier had slyly
operated on them to provide Job for
his acquaintance.
Having finished his work, the tinker
trudged off, full OF gratitude, and soon
arrived at a wayside schoolhouse.
A happy thought striking him, he de-
termined to repay the GLACIERS kind
ness, and, armlng himself with stones,
he speedily smashed every window in
the house.
Returning, he intimated to his friend
the service he had rendered him, but
was amazed to see the man of glass
become convulsed with rage.

CHICAGO GETS BIG GAMES.
That City Unanimously Chosen for In
ternatiOnal Olympian Contest
to BE Held in 1904

Paris, May 22.-The committee in
charge of the Quadrennial Olympian
games, at it's meeting at the automo-
bile club Tuesday, selected Chicago as
the place for holding the contests in
1904.
Chicago was chosen unanimously.
Henri Breal presented Chicago's
claim. Count Penaloza urged the
claim of st. Louis. Baron Coubertin
presided. The meeting was brief, as
the choice of Chicago was foregone
conclusion. Baron Coubertin said to
the correspondent Of the press:
Chicago we'll deserved to be the scene
OF the next Olympic games, in view of the
enterprise shown by her citizens and the
efforts put forth by her university. There
is every promise that there will be great
gathering In 1904; in view Of the enormous
subscription being raised.
The meeting at which the matter
was decided was held in the Automo-
bile club. It was presided over by
Baron Pierre Coubertin. Delegates
were present from England, France,
America, Holland, Belgium, Sweden
and Hungary. When it was an
nounced that Chicago had agreed to
put up 100000 the delegates of all
the other nations gave their unani-
nous approval of the western me-
tropolis as the place in which to hold
the games. There had been strong
competition between Chicago and St..
Louis, but President Harper, of the
Chicago university, made the meeting
unanimous in favor of Chicago.

HAVOC BY FLOOD.
Damages Amounting to Millions Of
Dollars Reported from Tennes-
See-Eight Lives Lost.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 23.-Millions
of dollars damage has been done and
at least eight lives lost in upper Ten
nessee by the floods, which began
their work of destruction when a
dam across the Doe river at Eliza
bethton gave way Tuesday after
noon. Little mountain streams emp
tying into the Doe and Watuga riv-
ers swelled those streams beyond all
proportions hitherto known, SUBJ
merging Elizabethton, town of
1000 people, located at their junction.
All property in the path of the raging
food was destroyed and people rem
dered homeless in twinkling. The
Watuga poured it's volumes in the
Holston, spanned by many bridges,
which were swept away with little or
no warning. The Chuckey river, in
Green county, and the French Broad,
in Jefferson, are also out of bounds,
and growing crops have been swept
away all along their courses.
Reports are reaching this point
slowly of telegraph wires being down
and great damage being done by the
most terrible floods ever witnessed in
upper portions of east Tennessee. On
the Chuckey river three children of
Joseph Hill were drowned in his
home while he was at his barn look
ing after his stock and unaware of
the danger at his house. On this river
six bridges were swept away, doing
a damage of about 100000, while
the damage to farms, outhouses and
stock along the stream in Green
county alone will amount to half a
million dollars. At Leepers Mill, on
Chuckey river, two Bolivar brothers
fell from a boat into the river, one
being drowned.

the advices received up to six o'clock

between the machinists and en-

at hand showed that during the day
over 100 firms had settled by grant

nell said that so far as he knew about
5000 men are out in San Francisco
and about 5000 in Cincinnati. In Chi
cago nearly all the important shops
have settled with the men. The re-
ports from the south, he said, show
that all through that section. settle
ments are being effected. Half the
Trims in Philadelphia, he said, have
come to terms, and the others are
expected to follow suit. There has
been no news of a clash anywhere.
Tuesdays reports show that only

are now affected by the strike, name
ly, the Central Vermont, Lehigh VAL
