Syracuse at $50 this morning. The
night run from New York was made
practically without incident, only few
stops being made for water. AS soon as

cheers greeted the President as he looked

Chicago, Sept. Paul Bohlander

ly in south Chicago when Lorenz Han
son appeared, Lorenz was friend of
the husband and soon became so good a
friend of the wife that Bohlander OBJ
served the progress of the affair. Then
he called the pair together and said {;
"Minna, you have been q good wife,
but if you think more of Hanson than
you do of me, get divorce and marry
him." Mrs Bohlander got her degree
last week. The complacent ex-husband
called upon Hanson to wed the woman.
Hanson, in the meantime, had under
gone change of heart. He refused to
marry. Bohlander, made another call
upon him Saturday night and summon
ed his eX-wife to the conference. Han
son was obdurate. Thereupon Bohland-
err fell upon him and smote him heavily.
At the finish BOhlander was arrested for
assault with intent to kill. His ex-wife

CESSATION OF BUILDING OPERATIONS.
The Pittsburg Post publishes the follow
ing According to well-matured plans,
not only of the great railroad corpora
tons of the country, but Of the larger
investors of capital in building opera
tons, there is likely to be a general ces-
sation of building operations during 1904
which will make that year memorable
to the trades interested. The statement
of one of the largest contracting concerns
in the country connected with railroad
construction work is the basis for the
assertion that at least $3.50, 900, 600
worth Of building operations proposed for
1904 has actually been called off and
plans have been recalled from architects
and engineers. 1t is also said by the
same authority that so far as known
there will be nothing in the shape of
new work undertaken the coming year,
and when the present contracts are COM
pleted period of waiting will ensue. 1t
will be awaiting for the general
labor situation to settle down and the
end of the factional wars and strikes
that have almost destroyed confidence in
building. The same information is that
the Pennsy lvania Railroad, which now
has enormous improvements under way
and contemplated at least as much more,
or $50, 900, 900 during 1904, has de-
cided to withdraw all of these plans and
do nothing further with them until there
is a more placid condition of the labor
market. Information given out shows
that in New York alone there is at least
$50, 900, 600 of new buildings for 1904
involved in the general plan of with
drawal. In Chicago, where the labor
troubles have been continuous for
months, it is said that more than So
900, 600 of new work has been aband-
oned. In Pittsburg Henry Phipps has
declared that he would not turn another
stone in the city except where operations
have already been started. The delay
in the extensive Improvements contem-
plated by II. G. Prick has been stated to
be due entirely to the unreliable state of
the labor field, and similar condition
is said to exist with the II. w. Oliver
now already begun"

Maids Forced to Remain in Water

Pittsburg, September while twenty
girls bathed in the Monongahela river
Saturday at Port Vue, some mischievous
boys stole their linz erie. Out in the
river the girls were having a good time
until the boys called to them and held
up the familiar draperies, then dis
appeared over the hills. Furious with
rage and chilled by the water the girls
we're compelled to remain in the water
for half an hour until word was sent to
their parents across the river to McKees-
port. Clothing was then hurried to the
bathers. Tine young women complained
to the officers of the tin mill, where the
boys are employed, and furnished the
superintendent with their names. A
daily bath in the warm summer days is
a custom of the girls employed in the
finishing department of the mill at Port
Vue, where the victims work.

The Twin City Handicap,

New York, Sept. What promises
to be one of the best races ever run in
this country, Is today on the card at
Sheepshead Bay. The event is the Twin
City Handicap, at mile and a quarter,
and McChesney, the champion of the
West, will meet Waterboy, who won the
Century Stakes, valued at $50, 600, Sat
urday. Among the other entries are
Hermis, Africander, Douro, Injunction,
Igniter, His Eminence, Short Hose,
Sheriff Bell, Proper, Thorneycroft, Adios
and Oaughnawaga, some of the best
horses in training. Waterboy will carry
a weight of 1875 pounds, while Hermis
and McChesney each carry l29 pounds.
1t is said that Waterboy's trainer con-
siders the extra weight too much for this
horse, and may not start him. This,
however, is only rumor. The early bet
ting makes Waterhoy the favorite at 7 to
5, while 8 to is quoted against Nc
Chesney, and to against Africander

Beautiful Marks OF Maple.

Nobody seems to know what cause it
Is which produces those delicate and
beautiful lines in maple, known as
bird's-eye. Some people think they
come from the hundreds of little
branches which shoot out over the
trunk of the tree as soon as clearing
Is made around it. Expert timbermen
say that is not the ease. The only way
to tell q bird's-eye maple tree is to cut
it. There are no outward signs by which
one can judge. The Railroad Gazette
tells a story of the late George M. Pull
man. Many years ago he was offered a
mahogany log for $1,000, to be cut into
veneers. 1t was supposed to be very
fine piece of wood, but this could only
be determined by cutting it. He de-
clined the offer, but agreed to take the
log cut into veneers for what it was
worth. The owner had it sawed and
was paid $1,000 for his veneers. Any
one who can discover the secret of de-
termining the interior nature of wood
from the outside will have fortune.
