FERRIS WHEEL
BLOWN TO PIECES
A Monster Charge Of Dynamite
Brought il to an Ignomin.
lous End.
A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
Ruins OF the Wheel Estimated TO be
Worth Eight Thousand Dollars
As Scrap Iron.

Chicago. May 12.--Blown to pieces
by monster charge Of dynamite. the
Ferris wheel came To an ignominious
end yesterday at st. Louis, after a
varied career Of 70 years At its end
ing ii was unwept and unsung
Constructed as ono Of the engineer
ing feats of q century the wheel first
was feature Of the Chicago world S
fair in 1898.
Then for a long period Of monu-
mental and Improbable inactivity It
lowered I'm an amusement park at
North Clark street and Wrightwood
avenue. It finally was removed to St.
Louis to form for the second time the
huge mechanical marvel Of great ex-
position.
For more than q month heavy wag-
ons laden with the 1900 tons OF steel
OF its construction, numbered through
Chicago's streets. The old Wheel
which had become st. Louis white ele-
phant died hard. 1t required 200
pounds OF dynamite to put It out Of
business.
The first charge was exploded un-
der the supports at the north side
OF the structure. wrecking its founda-
ton and permitting the wheel 10 drop
to the ground, matter Of but a few
feet
AS the wheel settled il slowly turn
ed, with its bottom as a support, and
then after tottering a moment like a
huge giant In distress, II collapsed,
slowly. Within a few minutes 1t was
a tangled mass OF steel and iron 80 or
40 feet high.
The huge axle. Weighing "A tons,
dropped slowly with the remnants Of
the wheel, crushing the smaller braces
and steel frame work when the mass
stopped settling It bore no resem-
bance TO the wheel which was so ia
miliar to Chicago and ST, Louis and TO
their 100000 amusement seekers from
all over the world, who, in the days
when It was in operation made the trip
TO the top of It's height of 26i feet and
then slowly around and down TO the
starting point.
Following the blast that wrecked
the wheel, but which failed 10 shatter
its foundation, came an explosion Of
another charge of 100 pounds Of dyna-
mite The sticks were sunk in holes
drilled I'm the concrete foundation that
supported the pillars on the north
side of the wheel.
The wheel was the wonder Of two
continents, by reason OF its cost Of
sS60,000. its Dimensions. and its utter
uselessness. 1t was the rival of The
Eiffel tower of Paris. Chicago was
glad to get rid of 1t, and st. Louis is
said to have witnessed its destruction
with satisfaction.

president of Plttsburg engineering
firm, originated the idea OF the wheel
that bore his name, taking the notion
from bicycle and adapting the con-
structive principles OF steel bridges In
it's erection.
Ferris financed the wheel, built It
IN Pittshurg erected It at the Chicago
Columbian exposition, and took I'm
TbO.O00 at 90 cents q ride. The Ferris
took Kaleidoscope trip to Europe.
Later he lost all interest In the mon
ster, and died I'm Pittsburg Of tuber-
culosis. He was only 40 years old.
The stockholders. Who had made 100
per cent profit out OF the wheel IA
1898 later leased the ground IN North
Clark street and re-erected II there.
Ferris Wheel park was not a success
ana the wheel was taken down again
and removed TO st. Louis on June 8,
1908. The cost OF taking down the
wheel was $40 900. Its ruins are esti-
mated as worth $4,000 az scrap IRON.

DINNER PARTY
AT THE YOUNG

A delightful dinner party, replete
orations and accompaniments, was that
given last evening at the Alexander
Young Hotel by Mrs. n. r. Robeson
OF Denver, Colorado. The hostess dec
crative ideas were unusually novel and
were carried out with exceeding rare
taste. The round table was set in the
which was wound with vines and inter-
twined with red chiffon. Sprays of
te-blossomed jasmine set off this
decorative feature prettily. Upon the
table rested a boat, which was cleverly
outlined with the tiniest of red and
green electric globes. The globes We're
carried on little wires from the bow
over the tops of the masts to the stern.
The boat rested upon a glass covered
with ice shaded green to represent the
ocean pillows. The brilliant leaves of
the scarlet poinsetta and red ribbon
completed the details of a very attract
i've dinner table. The place cards were
thin strips of bamboo, on each of which
was painted a scene representing the
western coast of the United States, op-
posite being the familiar bold picture
of Diamond Head. and in the center of
the picture a steamer bound in to Ho4
nolulu harbor. This typified the con-
nection of Denver, Mrs. Robeson's
home, and the island capital she is now
visiting. On the reverse side were the
names of the guests, including Mr..
and Mrs. Brown. Miss Annie McCros-
son, Miss Gregg, Mr.. c. a. Brown DR..
Mcdonald, Mr.. Browning. Throughout
the evening Kaafs Hawaiian quintet
played and sang the sweet melodies of
Hawaii. A duet by Miss Gregg and
Mr.. Kaai was especially pleasing. The
menu, too, was original in many re-
spects. Mrs Robeson is a charming
