STORM DEMOLISHES THE
 WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS
One Man is Killed and Several Persons are Injured Loss to the Various Buildings in Course of Construction
 Will Amount to About S0000.

OT. LOUIS, August 5.-A wind and
 rain storm of brief duration swept >/ over St. Louis and tore through the worlds fair grounds. killing Richard Richter a florist, probably fatally injur- ing A. R. Clark carpenter, and severely hurting seven laborers. besides causing damage to worlds fair buildings and other property to the extent of ten thou sand dollars. The greatest fury of the storm was felt at the worlds fair grounds
 The day had been extremely warm. the temperature registering ninety-four de- grees. Suddenly the sky began growing dark and soon the storm broke with the force of gale. In the city pedestrians hurried to shelter and the wind swept through the streets. but caused little damage outside of broken windows here and there, the falling of a few street signs and the leveling of shade trees.
 At the worlds fair grounds the wind was a miniature tornado. The agrieul- tural building stood In it's path and six

PLUS X SPENT ALL OF
 HIS MONEY FOR CHARITY

Rome, August 5.-A few anecdotes show what manner of a man Plus K Is. His position as patriarch of Venice brought him from 5000 to s2400 a year, which did not go far when he had paid the bills for all of his numerous charities So when he was called suddenly to leave Venice, he often found himself without money Once when he had to come to Rome he was without cent and did not know where to turn. He was finally obliged to bor- row $40O from a bank and was in perfect fever until the debt was paid. He has a nephew, John Baptist sarto, who notwith- standing the relationship Is only the arch priest of the small village of Pessagno, the birthplace of Canova.
 When In the past people used to ask Cardinal Sarto what would he do if made pope, referring to his modesty and affa- bilty he replied: T shall have white robes instead of red. that will be the only change. l shall remain the same Sarto as ever"

ROOT SEES ROOSEVELT.
Brass Band Marches Through Driving
 Rain, But Don't Play.

oyster Bay, August 5.-Secretary Root arrived here this evening to confer with the President on matters of importance pending in his department Several staff problems are to be worked out and the secretary thought 1t advisable to have the Presidents personal advice on the matter. The secretary also desired to talk about the latest developments in the Littaeur-Lyon glove case, one phase of which has been referred to Attorney-Gen- eral Knox for an opinion.
 Tn driving rain this afternoon brass band composed of colored boys from the Jenkins orphanage at Charleston, s. C., marched from the village 10 Sagamore Hill about three miles. to serenade the President and his family. The band did not reach the Presidents residence, being turned back to Oyster Bay by the secret service officer on duty

AVALANCHE OF SELLING THPOWS
 STOCK EXCHANGE INTO A PANIC
SOLDIERS ATTACK
 PRIVATE CITIZEN
MlLlTIAMEN IN GERARD CAUSE SENSATION BY EFFORTS TO FORGE MEN TO ATTEND THE ENcAMPMENT.

Columbus, Ga, August 5.-(Special.)- Somewhat of a sensation was caused at Girard. Ala. this morning by the action of squads of the Twin City Guards of that city in arresting members of the company who were attempting to avoid going with the company to encampment at Montgomery.
 At the Fourteenth street bridge de- tall halted Ed Woods, a young man, as he was en route to his work in Colum- bus. Woods has been a member of the company but recently obtained dis charge his enlistment having expired When halted he stated that he was not a member of the company, but the squad would not accept his statement and start ed to arrest him. Woods drew a pistol and said he would shoot the first man who touched him. He began backing away and the soldiers started to closing in around him, until finally he was so close pressed that he shot at Private Ar thur Taylor. The bullet missed him. The squad knocked him down with their guns, one private striking him so hard that he broke the stock of the gun. Woods also received a bayonet thrust. but the wound is not serious. He was placed under arr rest but was afterwards released when his statement that he was not a member of the company was verified by the cap- tain. In one case the father of a young man would not permit the squad to arrest him.
 The guards carried sixty-eight men to Montgomery to go into eneampment with the other companies of the Second Ala bama regiment.

HoRsEMEN RULED OFF.
Lind & Co. and Their Jockeys Guilty
 of Crookedness.

Chicago August 5.-The racing firm of Lind & Go. of San Francisco. Jockey Treanor, James Lynch and James liar ris the latter two employees of the Arr thur stable, were ruled off the turf today by the stewards of the Harlem Jockey club and Chicago Jockey club. The of- ficial ruling follows:
 ''The temporary suspension of c. Lind. D. J. Lynch and Jockey Treanor Is made permanent, and they are warned off the Harlem track The further entries of C.. Lind and D. J. Lynch. and of the horses. Orsina, Orfeo, Organdie. Muresca, Pupil. Emathion, Max Bendix and Hard Knot will be refused by the Harlem Jockey club"
 The decision of the Bondage case by the Chicago Jockey club officials was handed down simultaneously with that of the Harlem Jockey club and fol- lows:
 For connection with the drugging of the horse Bondage on July 27. suspend in- and rule off the turf James Lynch and James Harris the latter being known as James Crabb.
 "The suspension of John Robb impli- cated in the same case. Is removed
 The action taken by the Harlem officials was due to the poor showing made by Orsina last Monday, when 1t was al- legged she was pulled by Jockey Treanor, and the race was allowed to go to Post master Wright.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-08-06

He seems to have been sincere In think ing that he would not be made pope. Monsignor Stre' '-1irovich, the Venetian prelate, accompanied him to Rome and up to the door of the eonelave and in taking leave, as usual. hoped that Cardinal Sarto would be made pope. His eminence replied laughingly:
 No. no fear for me. Tell me the num- Der of your telephone and I will let you know who receives that honor"
 In all the excitement of his first triumph he kept his word and went to the tele- phone personally. and called up the num- Der only to find thta Monsignor Stratlm- irovich already knew the result of the balloting and was on his way to the vat ican.
 Plus likes not only to walk but to climb. A few days before he left Venice for Rome he ascended Mount Grappa, $500 feet high. But his greatest enjoyment Is music. He is a great friend and admlrer of Lorenzo Perosi, the eminent director of the pontlfical chior who was formerly Maestro at St. Marks, Venice.
