0HlO'S STATE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Chicago, Nov. 29.-By the explosion
of boiler in the electric building of
Swift & Co.'S packing plant at the
stock yards today several men were
killed and fifteen injured. Two bodies
were taken from the ruins immediate
ly.
1t is now known positively that sew
en- men were killed and fifteen seri-
ously injured by the explosion of a
boiler in the electric plant of Swift &
Co.'S packing establishment at the
stock yards at 10:30 this morning. 1t
is stated that two others are buried
under the debris and it is feared that
there are even more than that lying
dead under the wreckage.
The accident is said to be the most
disastrous in point of lives lost that
has afflicted the stock yards in many
years.
1t will be some time before it will
be known definitely how many bodies
il any, are under the debris. The in
iured are said to be in a critical con
dition in the majority of cases, having
been horribly scalded by steam. The
special stock yards firemen were the
first to run to the assistance of the
injured. Ambulances were called from
neighboring hospital and the injured
received their first medical aid from
physicians who came in to them. Al
noon a report from the stock yards
said that ten bodies had been recov
cred and that the search was being
continued.
Up to 2:30 three more bodies have
been recovered, making the total OF
known victims eleven.

AUTOMOBILE INVENTION.
Principle of Friction in Transfer OF
Power Applied.

Washington, Nov ga German in.
ventor named Maurer has completed
an automobile which he claims solves
the problem of obtaining simplicity, re-
liability, endurance and good uphill
speed for automobiles, through the ap-
plication of the principle of friction in
the transfer of power.
Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, re-
ports to the state department that the
idea which suggested the invention
was taken from coming and paper
manufacturing machines, in which the
transformation of power is obtained
by virtue of so-called friction wheels.
So successfully did Maurer apply the
principle TO automobiles that the

ARMY AND NAVY FOOTBALL.
Annual Contest of West Point and An
napolis Teams.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20. - Franklin
field was the Mecca today for thous-
ands of football enthusiasts and the
stands were taxed to their utmost ca
pacity to accommodate the great
crowds of spectators gathered to wit
ness the annual gridiron contest be-
tween the elevens of the West Point
Military academy and the Naval acad-
emy at Annapolis. In the reserved
seats for notables were to be seen just
prior to the opening of the game a
distinguished delegation from Wash.
irgton. Conspicuous among those in
the group were Secretary of War Root
Secretary of Navy Moody, Admiral
Dewey, General Corbin and other emf
nent Representatives of the govern
ment service on land and sea. Both
teams seemed to be in superb condi-
tion when they lined up on the field
and each was given rousing greeting
from the crowds. The naval cadets,
evidently. were prepared for the battle
of their lives. Close followers of the
sport, however, were mostly of the
opinion that they were in for wallop-
ing at the hands of their military
brethren from up the Hudson and this
Judgment was sustained from the bet
ting odds which early in the day were
heavy in favor of West Point, but later
were hammered down by the offering
of Annapolis money until at the begin
ming of the game some even money Of
fers were accepted.

Vienna, Nov. Pa shocking story
Is published by the Neue Weiner Jour-

the Furni Islands, near Samos, Greek
archipelago. According to the report
more than 1000 persons are dead at

the expedient of vaccinating the
healthy people with lymph from the
sufferers and the disease spread rapid
ly in all directions. There is no con

Her PrOmiseI Doll.

This is the story they tell of a III
ming little ~five-year-old girl whose
nurse had been promising her all
summer a little coon doll when the
family reached the city, if she would
be very good and obedient. This was
a delightful promise, and the little
girl vas as good as a little fve-year-
old could be. Then the family came
back to the city a little earlier than
usual, and something interesting hap
pened-a brand-new baby came to the
house. 1t was a funny, red.faced lit
tie creature, which only a loving
mother and experienced nurse could
possibly consider beautiful, but it
was a great thing for the little girl,
who had never before in her short
life seen a real live baby. 'There i,
o great surprise for you," said the
nurse, taking the ive-year-old up
stairs, where the little new sister was
lying snuggied up under a canopy of
muslin and ribbons what do you
think of that?" she continued, lift
ing the little girl so that she could
see the funny little face on the white
pillow. And the little girl was as
much pleased as everyone had ex-
pected she would be. She gave the
nurse a big hug as she cried: 20,
nursie, is that my coon doll?"-N. Y.

THE OLD HOUSE.

Mid a scene OF desolation
Stands a house Of somber gray,
And beneath its roof, for shelter
From the storm, I stood one day.
Every darkest nook and Granny
Spiders claimed for dim retreat.
On the floor a velvet carpet
Turned to dust beneath my feet
Broken windows partly boarded
Helped me grudgingly to see
All the prints of Times firm fingers
Working here SO ce~aselessly.
Wilder rose the storm each moment;
Swiftly fell the summer shower.
Ere l knew it slumber bound me
In that lonely place and hour.
AS / slept the old house Weakened
From its dream of death and mold,
And through every lace-hung window
Sunshine filtered, as of old.
Gone the dusk from w%eb-hung corners,
All the threads were brushed away,
And the air was sweet with laughter
OF the children at their play.
I could see them all: The father,
With a wee one on Zach knee,
While the mother bent in beauty
Ger her darlings tenderly;
Out among the summer splendor
Strolled a lad and lassie fair.
With a wreath of crimson roses
He has decked her curling hair.
Eyes of brown and blue are meeting
In an ecstasy of bliss;
Tender hearts and lips together
Seal their troth in that first kiss.
Slowly then the shadows deepened
Round the stair step where I lay.
AS Weakened from my slumber,
Storm and dream had passed away.

CHAPTER III.

Towards the middle of the morning
/ was sitting in my Office, awaiting the
coming of a prominent New York de-
t%ective, with whom l had an appoint
ment, when my clerk entered to in
form me that a lady was in the outer
office, and desired to see me If l could
spare her a few minutes.
"Who is she?" l inquired. "Find out
that, and also her business"
"Her name is Kitwater," the man
replied, when he returned after a mo-
ment's absence, "but she declines to
state her business to anyone but your
self, SIR"
"Kitwater?" 1 said. "Then she is a
relation, l suppose, of the blind man
who was here yesterday. What on
earth can she have to say to me? Well,
Lawson won't be here for another ten
minutes, SO you may as well show her
in" Then to myself l added: "This is
a development of the case which l did
not expect. l wonder who she is
wife, sister, daughter. or what. of the
blind MANI"
l was not to be left long in doubt,
for presently the door opened and the
young lady herself entered the room.
I say young lady," because her age
could not at most have been more than
n or two-and-twenty. She was tall
and the possessor of a graceful figure,
while one glance was sufficient to
show me that her face was an exceed
ingly pretty one. afterwards 1 dis

said. '"This is an unexpected visit.
Won't you sit DOWN."

seat at the table.

"Icanquite believe that,"Ianswered.
"Your uncle told me something Of

The late Eugene 6tanislas Kostzka
de Mitkiewicz used to tell a story of the
cynicism of Ii Hung Chang, says tho
fessional promoter" spent some Of
the best years Of his life in an unsuc-
cessfnl attempt to engineer the estab-
lishment of a great Chino-American
bank. Millions were involved, and it
was necessary to secure the favor of
Earl Ii. Nitkiewicz obtained an inter-
view with him, and explained his
scheme. The Chinaman listened grave
ly.
at is a philanthropic plan, is it not?"'
he said at length. "Yon desire by
means of this bank to bring about
moral and social reforms in my coun-
try, 1 suppose. You wish to c%iviiize
us, to save our souls"
"We wish to do nothing of the kind"
answered the adventurer. "This is
simply and solely a commercial enter
prise. We don't care a rap for your
morals, and l may say for myself, per-
sonally, that it is a matter of supreme
Indifference to me whether any of your
souls are saved or not"
LIS almond eyes twinkled.
"Ah," he said, "you are not like other
Europeans who come to China. They
are all interested in our moral well
being. You say you want merely to
make money. 1t is strange. / have
heard of such men before, but till now

not the spiritual good Of China at

giving you very good proof of our
bona fides," he remarked. 81 am
afraid we cannot give you any other,
seeing, as l have said, that we are both
poor men. II you are prepared to take
up u case, we shall be under a life
long gratitude to you, but if you can
not, we must endeavor to find some one
else who will undertake the task"
1T is impossible for me to decide
now whether l can take it up or not"
l said, leaning back in. my chair and
looking at them both as l spoke. 1T
must have time to think it over; there
are Q hundred and one things to be
considered before l a give you a di-
rect reply"
There was silence for a few mo-
ments, and then Kitwater, who had
been holding his usual mysterious
communications with his friend, said:
when do you think you will be able
to let us have an answer?"
THAT depends upon a variety of
circumstances" / replied. cit is a
matter difficult to average. In the first
place there is no knowing where the
man is at present; he may be in Lon
don; he may be in America; he may be
in any other portion of the globe. 1t
might cost $500 to find him, it might
cost $4,000. You must see for your
selves how uncertain it all is"
SIN that case we should be prepared
to give security for the first-named
amount, or pay you half in ADVANCE"
Kitwater replied. 81 hope you do not
think, Mr.. Fairfax, that we are endeav-
oring to play you false? You can see
for yourself that u injuries are per-
manent, and, as far as they go, are at
least evidence concerning the truth of
our story. You car also see for your
self how this man has behaved to-
wards US. He has robbed us of all We
hold valuable, and TIC his act of treach-
cry we owe the mutations we have
