tana.

"Calamity Jane" that border he
roine whose dashing figure formerly
adorned the covers of dime novels, is
no longer a feature of the Midway, but
there is an entertaing story of her COM
ing and going.
Jane was living as best she might in
Livingston, Mont, when Buffalo
woman, who had written a novel, con-
ceived the idea of having it sold on the
exposition grounds by Calamity Jane.
She came west and secured Jane, who
welcomed any change from her unex-
citing condition in life, and took her to
Buffalo. Then the local papers were
peppered with paragraphs recounting
the beneficent charity that had saved
the aged heroine from poverty to pro-
vide a life of ease and quiet for her
declining years. The novelist had a
romantic home for the dime novel he
roine on the river between Buffalo and
Niagara Falls, and here the vivandiere
OF the '76 campaign against the Indians
was to pass the rest Of her days. In
cidental mention was made of the title
Of the book which her patroness had
written.
The Indian Congress, Midway
show looking for novelties, made over
lures to the novelist, and a bargain
was readily made. Calamity Jane
was rugged out in cowboy attire and
liked forty mules up Main street, seat
on sprinkling cart, that being the
nearest thing to a Deadwood coach
that could be found. But Calamity
soon learned, SO she said, that the now
elist was getting cash for her, while
Calamity was receiving nothing more
than her meals and commission of 10
cents each on the books she sold. Her
total commission for week ran up to
80 cents.
Now Jane found that she could use
money, even on the Midway, so she
broke with the peaceful home, the nov
elist and the assured comforts for old
age, repudiated the contract made for
her, and made a new one with the
managers of the show. Then she got
real money. On the first pay day Jane
passed out of the grounds. Across
from the gates the door of a saloon
stood invitingly open. Jane passed in.
That nights story is one of trough
house," terminating IN the arrest of
Calamity Jane on charge of drunken
ness and suspension of sentence bv
the morning justice. On the following
day an exposition guard attempted to
interfere with her personal liberty, and
was sent spinning on his head. A few
mornings later the police justice of
Tonawanda had Calamity in his court
on the charge of INVESTIGATION and Gre
atlng disturbance. After that Ca
lamity's public appearances were al
ways for the purpose of inquiring when
Buffalo Bill was to arrive. Colonel
Cody got in last week. He was sitting
in his tent when a very tired and de,-
pendent looking woman pushed aside
the curtains and entered.
Its Jane she said. sThey'ye
got me Buffaloed, and wanter go
back. There's no room for Inc in the
East. Stake me to a railroad ticket
and the price of the meals, an send
me home.
1t was up to Buffalo Bill to get her
ticket to Livingston, Mont, and he
did, giving her SIS for food on the way.
Calamity Jane disappeared, ana it is
supposed she is using the ticket.

PEKING. June 23-There has been no

powers at Picking since last Tuesday. but
the ministers themselves all profess salts
faction with the present course of events
The Chinese forts have not yet been de-
stroyed. 1t has been determined that each
nation will destroy those forts now occu-
pied by it's troops. but the ministers find
that the respective military commanders
object to destroy g Chinese forts not oc-
cupied by their troops. Consequently. the
ministers probably will have to employ
Chinese labor 10 effect the destruction of
the unoccupied forts and at the joint ex-
pense of the different powers.
Many Chinese eunuchs have been selling
valuables which. without question. came
from the Forbidden City. The valuables
thus sold were probably passed over the
walls of the city 10 the eunuchs' confeder-
ates outside. One beautifully carved table
which was seen in the Forbidden City only
two weeks ago has been sold by eunuch
for 600 taels. No valuabies OF any kind
have been taken out of the city through
the gates. These are guarded by American
and japanese troops. 1t is estimated that
the cost of repairing the palace independ
ent of the valuable works of art which are
missing. will reach 100000 taels
Members of the staff of LII Hung Chang
and Prince Ching say that great anxiety is
felt regarding the whereabouts and safety
of a large quantity OF gold that was buried
in the Forbidden City. Certain eunuchs
who knew the secret OF the location OF this
treasure have disappeared. These staff
members further say that Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching have held a long consul
tation on this subject. Roth Ii and Ching
deny officially that they have any fear or
anxiety concerning this treasure. and say
they are certain the foreign troops guard

ELECTRICITY AT BUFFALO.
1t Plays an Important Part in the Pam
American Exposition.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 23.-At no previ-
Gus exposition has electricity played such
important parts as at the Pan-American.
II is the very life of the big show. not
only by night but also by day. At night
the presence of the transmitted energy of
Niagara is made manifest in the beautiful
illumination which has won for the Pam
American the name of the City of Golden
Light. This name is well deserved, for it is
not only reflective of the hope OF humanity.
but IL also defines the nature OF the bril-
liancy that is winning such unstinted praise
from every person who sees 1t. But in
daytime. when there is no need for the
electric current for the illumination of the
grounds and buildings during the period
is everywhere present about the buildings
and grounds. and it is doing its part to
make the exposition A truly grand success.
The fish IN the fisheries exhibit are sup

for the energy of Niagara. and thus it is
demonstrated that the power supply of
Niagara Is ever constant. There is no eight
or twelve-hour shift with the force of this
wonderful river. but hour after hour. day
after day. week after week. month after
month. and year after year, as unceasing
a. has been the flow of the current of the
river. this modern power of Niagara is al
ways on tap. Centuries will roll on, and
generation after generation will find the
same response from the throwing of the
switch that controls Niagaras force as is
found and enjoyed to-day in the grounds
and buildings of the Pan-American exposi-
ton.
Just now the greatest spectacle ever
created by the electric energy of the Falls
of Niagara is being praised and appauded
in Buffalo, but there is no telling where
next a similar feature will demand as much

The wabash at Pittsburg.

The Wabash-Pennsylvania difficulty is
slow of settlement. Pennsylvania people
are very unwilling to see Wabash enter
Pittsburg. The Gould interest, on the
other hand. holds that it is unreasonable
TO expect the Wabash system TO come with

center like Pittsburg and not build those
fifty miles. The conferences which have
been held are understood 10 have merely
strengthened the position of each side. In
timations are said TO have been given that
in case Wabash persisted in it's Pittsburg
line, Pennsylvania might modify the rela-
lions ii has maintained for many years
with Western Union. The Gould interest
is said TO have responded that If this were
done, 1t would be considered justiicat ton
for an extension of the Wabash system TO
the Atlantic seaboard, following one of
two routes which have already been laid
out. We understand that Wabash has for
titled itself by inducing prominent manu-
featuring interests at Pittsburg TO SUBJ
scribe for the extension securities in order
to insure the giving of a portion of the
freight traffic of such interests to the new
Wabash line. The advance in Wabash Sc
curities was on belief that the election of
