NOS wRES~S ARENA.
Crowd of 1000 Starts Wild Riot When
Police Prevent Bull Fight

Instead of Spanish bull fight Sunday
the arena of the Norris Amusement
Company in ST Louis was the scene of
fierce riot, in which the grand stand,
seating $4,000 persons, was burned, the
Office buildings demolished and several
persons hurt.
More than 1000 persons were in the
great amphitheater awaiting the entry Of
the bull when Deputy Sheriff Ossenfort,
of st. Louis County, appeared. He spoke
to Ring Manager H. A. Colledge, who
expostulated moment and then turned
toward the grand stand. There will
be no performance to-day" he shouted.
The authorities have interfered'
For moment there was hush. Then
a human avalanche swept over the rail
of the amphitheater into the tanbark
arena. Manager Norris and his wife fled
te the Office building, where three deputy
sheriffs and eight officers from the Gold
en- Chain Humane Society were ON
guard. The mob followed
Give us back our money" they
clamored. And although Manager Nor
ris sought to explain he was driven from
the door by a storm of stones. In a
few minutes the building was wrecked.
Doors were battered down, windows
were broken and even the sides OF the
house were crushed by heavy stones.
Under guard of the officers the manager
and his wife were escorted to a street
car and taken in safety to the city, al
though Mrs. Norris was cut ON the face
by flying stone.
Its victims fed, the mob turned its at
tention to the amphitheater. Some one
set fire to a pile of straw beneath the
big structure, which was built of pine.
1t was dry as finder, and in few min
utes was a roaring furnace. Employees
of the amusement company by hard
work managed to save the horses and
the bulls that were to have met death in
the ring. All the other property prac-
tically was destroyed.
So fiercely did the grand stand burn
that for time il was feared the flames
would spread to the worlds fair grounds
adjoining. An emergency cali was sent
to the city for fire apparatus The single
engine that responded stuck in the mud
a half mile from the scene and could not
be released in time to be available. The
department of the exposition was called
out, but a lucky change in the wind
drove the flames away from the exposi-
ton buildings.
For two hours the mob ragged over the
ground, completing the work of destruc-
ton. Police were hurried to the scene,
but they were powerless in the face Of
the crowd, which had been increased by
hundreds from the worlds fair grounds
and the vicinity. Only four arrests were
made. More would have been attempted
had the police not all they could do to
get the quartet of prisoners away. The
mob came to the rescue of the prisoners
and the progress of the patrol wagon
was blocked. Only by vigorous use of
their clubs were the officers able to make
way for it. Many were hurt in the me-
lee, and scores were taken by friends to
offices of physicians near by, where their
wounds were dressed.

Valise Boat.

A boat large enough to carry six
persons may be carried in a valise or
corner of a trunk. This Is because the
principle of the pneumatic tire has
been applied with such success to boat
building. These boats are of two
kinds. either of rubber cloth inflated
with air and divided into two compart-
ments, or of a series of inflated tubes
coiled lengthwise These are fitted
with pneumatic seats, and the oarlocks
are buckled on the sides When de-
fated they are reduced to the smallest
conceivable weight and compass, and
the process occupies only a few mo-
ments.
Experiments prove that these craft
will not founder in the heaviest seas.
They are so buoyant when filled with
air that they will float weight of
several hundred pounds, while the rub
Der Of which they are constructed is
absolutely proof against puncture. This
invention promises an entirely new era
In bodybuilding for purposes of sport
and travel.

Is a gown of dotted white lace trimmed
with punches of grapes done In seed
pearls. From left. to right In the first
picture are house dresses OF pale green
and white embroidered batiste, the plain
white shawl effect edged with lace: a
white null trimmed with valiencennes
and with all-over lace yoke. and a pale
blue crepe de chine trimmed with point
de yenise. With both house and even
ing dresses the use of lace is remarka-
bly, free, but in the latter the lace is
applied so plentifully that often little
of the goods is in sight. Elbow sleeves
ending in lace frilis are Of very elab-
crate character in evening bodices, but
the simpler sleeve consisting of a mere
bit of trimming at the shoulder ranks
as quite as dressy.
With the liking for Celebrations so
general, and with the tendency toward
costly attire so marked on the part Of
stylish dressers, it is surprising that the
separate bodice should have the stand

very dressy garment, and is worn by the
most careful dressers. SO though a me-
dunn of economizing for those who care
to make it so. it also keeps the best Of
company. OF course. your stylish ward
robe may contain many such bodices,
while the ordinary outfit may put much
reliance on only one. Two of these bod
ices are sketched here, a natural colored
pongee trimmed with golden brown vel
vet, and white pongee, shirred and
finished with white taffeta bands. A
deal of open-work embroidery is seen
on such waists, and the freely embroid-
cred garment often is embellished with
lace, besides. Stirring runs riot on
them, and little of the fronts of any OF
them are left untrimmed

FIRE IN SPIRITS KILLS.
Ten Die in Flames Started by Explosion
in Peoria Distil1ery.

Ten Die in Flames Started by Explosion
in Peoria Disti11ery.
The explosion of a lantern carried by
a workman in the distillery of Franklyn
T. Corning & Co. in Peoria, H., started
a FIRE in which fourteen men were burn
ed to death and property loss of about
$1000,000 was caused.
The Corning distillery was the second
largest establishment of the kind in the
country The property destroyed COM
prises a large warehouse, eleven stories
high made largely of corrugated iron, IN
which was stored 10000 barrels Of high
proof spirits, the cMtern and fermenting
departments, each in a three-story brick
building, and the cattle sheds, containing
5000 head of cattle, all of which were
burned to death. Only the cookers are
left, of the entire plant
The fire started in the warehoua e.
Bursting barrels released a stream of
ignited spirits, which quickly spread the
flames to all parts of the immense struc-
ture, and soon the explosion of thou
sands of casks FASTENED the destruction
of lives and property, and made noise
that terrorized all that part of the city.
In a short time the warehouse fell,
crushing the smaller buildings near 1t,
liberating mass of burning debris. A
stream of blazing spirits was turned into
the cattle pens, turning them into
seething pool of fame, which quickly
killed the animals confined there. The
cattle were the property of Dodd 4 Kei-
fer, of Chicago, and f. G. White 4 Co.,
of Peoria.
The fermenting houses were the next
to go, followed by the cistern depart
ment, in which was $1,000 gallons of
spirits. This added fuel intensified the
heat and made it almost impossible for
firemen to get near enough to the build
ings to work effectively A high wind
famed the flames toward the Monarch
distillery, and that was threatened This
made it necessary for the firemen to con-
fine their efforts almost entirely to pre-
venting a spread of the fire. In spite
of them the flames were communicated
to the stock yards, block distant, but
the damage done there was slight

with the going bad, has had all it
could do to negotiate it.
Coming up here in the usual crush
at about o'clock yesterday afternoon
was a great big team of three horses,
team that looked as though it could
haul anything. halfway up the block
it began to move slowly.
The giant middle horse wasn't pull
ing lis weight. He wasn't hanging
back, he was not even loafing; but his
head was now back two or three inch
es from the heads of the other two.
The driver looked down at the big
horse in sort of mild establishment.
And then he didn't touch him with
the whip, nor do thing to him at all,
but just spoke to him.
He called the horse by name in a
low tone, intended to be heard by the
horse alone, but in a tone that ex-
pressed surprise, pain, friendly re-
proach and interrogation. 1t isn't pos
sible to put down in type as he said
it.
"Harry?''
And Harry heard and understood;
and his nose went out two or three
inches beyond the other horses heads
and he pulled his share of the load
and more, and the big outfit took a
fresh and sure start on toward Broad
way.

I'M cELIA,s GARDEN.

When Celia seeks her garden ground,
With smiling blue above her,
The little blossoms all around
Do lift their heads to love her;
And they with kisses cool and sweet
In fond embraces linger,
AT rest upon her dainty feet,
Or on her snowy finger.
Now shall a thing of green and white,
That hath nor sense nor seeing,
BE held more dear in Celia's sight
Than some poor mortal being?
Shall blue and red that fades apace,
In rainy breezes rocking,
Be counted worthy Celia's grace,
And | be made her hooking?
Ye foolish buds, that all arrow
With feigned smiles cajole her,
pray you now on me bestow
The charm that shall control her.
My heart, that doth each storm survive,
Nor any frost can harden.
May flourish yet. and bloom, and thrive.
A flower in Celia's garden.

Denver and Rio Grande passenger
train ), west bound from Denver. was
held up Tuesday night by five masked
Zen three miles west of Parachute,
a small fruit station between Grand
junction and Glenwood Springs One
scaled bag containing specie was taken
from the express safe, which was
dynamited. The express car was
wrecked, but the robbers were forced
to take to the mountains before they
could gather up the valuabes in the
car.
When the train reached point three
miles west of Parachute two masked
men crawled over the tender of the
engine. They placed six-shooters TO
the head of Engineer Allison and his
| fireman and demanded that the train
be stopped. Three men were waiting
on the tender. and as the train stop
ped they ran back and uncoupled the
express and baggage cars. These cars,
with the engine, were run two miles
west
Members of the train crew were
ordered to remain with the passenger
coaches under threat of being shot.
When the point selected for the dyna
hitting Of the express ear was reached
| the engineer and fireman were orderd
down. One of the robbers covered
them with two revolvers while the re-
mainder of the gang went to the ex-
| press car. Messenger ID. NJ. Shea re-
fused to open the car and piled the
| baggage in front of the door. The rob-
bers placed stick of dynamite at the
side door and it was blown away
! and half dozen trunks piled up
/ against it were demolished.
The large iron combine ton safe was
! the only one in the car The robbers
showed that they were familiar with
conditions on the road, for they did
not even ask tie messenger to open
the safe. This safe can be opened
only in Denver or Salt Lake City. A
stick of dynamite was placed against
the lock of the safe. At this point
Brakeman Shellenbarger, who had
been ordered to remain with the pas
senger coaches. two miles behind, came
running up the track carrying Ian
tern. One of the robbers shot at him.
He was wounded in the leg.
When the robbers saw the train crew
coming they led to the mountains.
One of them, as he jumped from the
express ear, seized one sealed bag
which had been blown out of the safe.
This is the only plumber which was
taken.
The scene of the robbery is only COO
yards from the Grand river, and it is
believed the robbers had a boat hid

cross the river. destroying it after they
had crossed

The width lent by most of the sleeves
now fashionable gives further protection
against an appearance of undue width,
so what at the first showingss of this

no danger at all, if a reasonable care Is
taken. The consequence is that though
