MADE A THRILLING TRIP.
Man Who Crossed Niagara Falls On
BIondin's Back Is Dead

From the Chicago Record Herald
A few days ago there died in a Westside
hospital man who had one of the most
thrilling sensations ever given to mortal
Harry M. Colcord was the man who,
nearly half century ago. the famous
Blondin carried on his back over a rope
stretched across the river at the Falls of
niagara. Blondin died a few years ago in
London. For several years past Harry
Colcord has been well known on the West
side in the neighborhood of Madison and
Halsted streets. He was a skilful por-
trait artist and his memory remains in
excellent oil paintings of several we'll
known citizens. Chief among his patrons
was Justice Jarvis Blume, now of Bos-
ton. whose office used to be the focus and
rendezvous for all kinds of genius and
talent, ESPECIALLY for the eccentric order
Another particular friend of his was Law
yer II. V. Shepard
The sensational aerial trip across the
Falls of Niagara occurred August IA, 1859
1t was repeated twice afterward the last
time in the presence of the Prince of
Wales, now King Edward VII of England
Even after the lapse of such a long
space of time the thrilling memory of
his experience ever remained wildly with
Colcord.
1.-The thought of it haunts me as closely
as If 1t happened yesterday" he used to
say, "and after In my dreams it all comes
back to me- Again / sway from side to
side and lay myself like dead weight
as Blodin goes onward, step by step, the
rope swaying and his balancing pole oscil-
lating; again ] see the shores black with
people and look down the swirling river,
far below, until we seem to be rushing
up stream; again / descend from his
back and stand on the taut, vibrating
rope. and again I feel Blondin stumble
and sway as the ruffians try to upset u.s.
and / jump up In nervous terror and
cold persplration.'
Blondin had acquired international fame
Inv his wonderful feats on the tight rope.
He was native OF Calais. France, and
his real name was Jean Francois Grave
lette. At the age of he was sent to
J,Ecole gymnasium. and soon obtained
the name of the hoy wonder" His people
were poor and exacting and they made
him work hard. His daredevil feats made
him fascinating and renowned. He was
the first to throw a. double eomersault on
the tight rope-the first and last and only
one. When he visited Niagara he prompt
w formed the ambition of crossing the
river on the tight rope.
The place chosen was opposite the Cliff
TON house, where the rope, a three-ineh
Manila, was stretched across to a place
called Whites pleasure ground. The rope
was In two pieces of 1000 feet each. united
by a long splice. IT hung at a distance
of 27o feet above the river and saggcd
about 20 feet in the center by its own
weight.
The performance was we'll advertised
and was a hix maIiay makAr. About 100

Number of Immigrants Admitted From
Mexico Through Ell PaSo.

Over $500 more immigrants were
admitted into the United States this
year than last at the Ell Paso immi-
grafton station. The Ell Paso bureau
has completed its report up to the
end of the fiscal year, June 30, and
the figures show that 81, 465 persons
were let into this country at that
port during the last twelve months,
just 1876 more than in the year end
ing June 80, 1905.
There were 1888 applicants for
admission this year and 1,O6S of these
were barred as compared with the
corresponding figures. 26,514 appli-
cants, and 1924 debarred, of last
year.
Up to the last day of June this
year 1858 Mexicans applied for ad-
mission the remainder of the appli-
cants, 2,175, being aliens of other
nationalities. About four-fifths of
the latter were Syrians.
The Ell Paso News says that it is
estimated by the authorities at the
bureau that three-fourths of those
who were debarred were kept out on
account of SYMPTOMS of contagious
