KILLED BY SNOW BALLS
Man Attacked by School Children in
Chicago Falls Dead.

Chicago, Dec. Six school chill
dren, none more than IA years old,
were held at the stock yards police
station all night, awaiting the coro-
ner's verdict on the sudden death of
Rabbi Abraham Click. Click was
killing chickens for David Levy in the
rear of the latter's store when a crowd
of boys made him the target of a vol
ley of snowballS, some of which, it is
said, contained stones to give weight
and accuracy. One SNOWFALL struck
Click on the back of the head, making
a small wound. The rabbi ran to a
police station where he was advised to
secure warrants. Click returned from
the police station to Levy's store. At
the door he threw up his hands and
fell, dying in a few minutes. The ar
rest of the bows followed.

raise the $4,000 bail which had been
fixed as the price of her temporary lib
erty. All day yesterday from early
morning until late at night, the woman
waited anxiOusly in the office of the
United States marshal while one after
another of those to whom she turned
for assistance declined to come to her
aid. At last the question for the time
was abandoned, the prison doors closed
behind her.
Mrs. Chadwicks imprisonment in the
Tombs has not tended toward her re
covery from her nervous attacks of
yesterday. This morning she was in
highly nerv Gus state, having passed a
night of watchfulness. She was very
nervous during the night and was wide
awake until 4 a. m. when she slept
little With frequent intervals of walk
ing she slept until shortly after seven
O'Clock when the noise of other prison
ers preparing for the mornings break
fast aroused her.
Mrs. Seevey, the matron in the
TOmbs, saw Mrs. Chadwick about 1880
o'clock and told of the routine of the
prison. She told Mrs. Chadwick that
II she did not care for the prison fare
she could send out for her meals or
get them from the restaurant at the
prison.
Mrs. Chadwick decided to make use
of the prison restaurant She left
word that only her counsel should be
admitted to see her. F'reda, the nurse
of Mrs. Chadwick, was at the Tombs
early today, waiting for Emil, Mrs.
Chadwick's s son, and to see the pris-
Oner.
For fear that Mrs. Chadwick might
do herself bodily harm Marshal Hen

detailed to watch her all night from

Chadwick and the possibilities of her
doing herself bodily harm that today
he enforced the rule applied onlv in
exceptional cases of not allowing her

had ordered had to be cut for her and

It is expected that Receiver Lyon of
the Citizens National bank, of Oberlin

that his arrival there will be followed
by the issue of additional complaints
against Mrs. Chadwick, charging for
gerry and based either on the Carnegie
notes or Other papers given by Mrs.
Chadwick as securities for loans. Up
to a late hour this morning Mrs. Chad
wick had not secured bail.
viii Waive Examination.
Discouraged by the failure of her
lawyers to secure bail for her and
weary of prison experience at the

against her there, and where she

"Fences'' Of Illicit Diamond Buyers

Government officials.

A recent visitor to Antwerp, which
city is now the chief marke. in Eu-
rope for stolen jewels, was taken by a
friend in the know to a house used
as an Office by illicit diamond buyers.
In one room he saw a large collection
of photographs, the first to catch his
eye being that ON Maj. Williams, OF
the United States treasury department
at Paris, writes a London correspoo-
dent of the Philadelphia Press.
An inquiry revealed the fact that sill
persons of an official character who
are considered dangerous by the gang

graphs placed in the collection. Should
the original of the photograph set foot
il Antwerp he would be Swallowed by

WORLDS SUPPLY OF OPIUM
An Industry That Is Far More Exten'
sive Than the People Of This
Country Know For.

Few people have any idea of the vast
areas given over wholly to the cultiva-
ton of opium. The consumption and
the manufacture of this drug, far from
being on the decline, are on the increase
to an almost incredible extent, says the
Scientific American. The greed for gold
is Tar more predominant in the human
makeup than is the philanthropic spirit
which seeks to elevate mankind,
though it's purse may suffer in so doing.
England reaps more benefit from the
cultivation of opium than all other ma
tons put together.
In the district of Bengal alone there
are nearly 100000 acres devoted ex-
clusively to the cultivation of the poppy
Its cultivation is legalized and in every
way encouraged by the British govern
ment, which has an absolute monopoly
OF this industry in India. The two prin-
cipal districts are presided over by and
under the direct control Of English Of
ficials residing at Patna and Ghazipur..
The Bahar agency embraces an opium
field of about 100000 acres and that of
Benares is a close second with 473, 500
acres
There is fierce dispute going on Just
now as to the relative merits or demer>
its of opium. Many eminent men in the
scientific world openly declare that
opium is a blessing. The government
experts in the country where it grows go
so far as to say that opium is blessing
instead Of being curse to the natives.
However, the vast majority of mankind
will long be of the undivided opinion that
opium is the most all-crushing curse
that afflicts man. The enthusiasts, or,
rather, extremists, of the International
Anti-Opfum society picture the condi-
ton OF India under the ban of opium in
the most dreadful manner possible. Ac-
cording to one Of these men, all of the
sO0,OOO,OOO human beings in Asia are ex-
posed to the evils Of the opium trade as
legalized by the British government.

ExERTs AN AWFUL POWER.
Exploding Dynamite Said to Be the
Most Tremendous Force in
Existence.

When dynamite explodes it leaves lit.
tie to mark the spot where It has lain
save evidences: of its destructiveness.
Two interesting exhibits Of its force are
shown in the Stevens Institute Of Tech
nology at Hoboken, N. ]. They are steel
blocks, six inches In diameter and four
inches thick, showing respectively the
impression Of an cak leaf and the i'm
print Of the headline Of western news
paper. It was during test of high ex-
plosives that q cartridge of dynamite
was placed on. newspaper covering the
block of steel, the object being to see
how much dynamite would be required
to split the metal. Sc
The dynamite was fred without injury
to the steel, but to the surprise of the
experimenter the print Of the newspa-
per was deeply pressed into the metal.
The experiment was repeated, with the
same result, and then was elaborated BY
trying the charge on oak leaf placed
between the block and the dynamite.
This time the stem and the ribs of the
leaf were deeply impressed in the metal.
What happens is this" said the ex-
pert In charge. Unlike most other ex-
plosives, dynamite exerts practically all
its crushing force downward and not in
general direction. So inconceivably
quick and forceful is the discharge OF this
powder that the imprint OF the ribs of
an oak leaf are made before the leaf has
time to be blown to atoms. In the case
OF the newspaper it appears that where
printers ink touches the paper the pa-
per is hardened and more capable of re-
sistance than in other places, and so II
is that before the paper is destroyed the
printing on 1t is forced deep into the
metal"
