Fares In Elevators.


Business buildings in Naples are now
furnished with elevators by an Italian
insurance company called La Fon-
daria, which charges cents for each
passenger. Tenants in a building pay
the same as outsiders. This practice
encourages walking and keeps the
average Neapolitan down to a normal
weight.
Wealthy business men who are reck-
less in their expenditures use these
elevators and call for the uniformed
attendant in a loud voice. The man
brings the key, collects the 2 cents
and gives in return ticket which en-
titles the passenger to lone course" to
stop at any floor. OF course, he has to
walk down afterward or pay again.
The attendant sets the automatic ma
chine at the proper floor and starts the
elevator on its way. He does not go
up himself, as he would also have to
pay. Princes. counts, military officers
and ordinary people use the staircases.

worked day and night they have been
unable to repair the damage to the

sent out on time.
The Washington & Columbia river
track near Dixie was still in bad
shape today and it was not expected
that trains could be run to Dayton uI-
I'll early next week.

Dresses of Spider Web.

Dresses Of Spider Web.
The worm is proverbially the last Of
created things to turn against the tyr
amy of ,those who seek to coerce 1t,
and the silkworn Is evidently no eX-
ception to the rule, for it has for ages
been patiently labOring to crafty hu-
man vanity. Not so the spider, how
ever, whose beautiful silk has not yet
been similarly applied, simply because
that willy beast refuses to work 70 or
der, but a determined onslaught upon
his pride and prejudices has been made
in Madagascar, where regular fac
tory has been started to make silk
dresses from spider web. The old diff
ficulty has still to be faced, however,
and time alone will show whether man
or the spider is to be the victor. The
spiders, which spin luxuriOusly in their
native groves, sulk or fight or devOur
their young or otherwise amuSe them
selves when brought to the factory, but
they will not work except just Occa-
sionally, when the mood happens to
strike them Then they sometimes spin
for days at time and die of OverwOrk.
Their habits and customs are being
carefully studied, and if only they will
do what is required Of them they will
be made as comfortable as circum-
stances will permit. Altogether it is
the prettiest little parlOr. Perhaps the
spider may yet be induced to walk in
and favor the proprietor with those
silk dresses for which the world is still
Waiting.-Chambers Journal.

quite naturally, enter into the construc-

umbrellas, some of which, in price,
have been known TO bring as high as
$50 or 5000. A wooden handle may
likewise be expensive, depending upon
the quality of the wood used. Ebony,
petritied wood, fir, oak and elder are
as well known to the umbrella men,
who manufacture 100000 umbrellas

rapidly during the last few years.

every employee of the establishment
But I'm prouder of my organization
today than 1 ever was before. 1 do not
overlook my losses. They were heavy
enough. But for my part the loss has
been greatly offset by the way every
employee of the establishment respond
ed to his duties this week. All have
worked like Trojans in helping to get
the store cleaned up and ready for
business again. One thing this flood
has proved to me and that is I have
a staff of very loyal employees.
another thing you might say is
that 1 desire to take this opportunity
to thank the stores patrons for the
consideration they have shown us this
week. All through the week they have
displayed a proper appreciation of the
difficulties we were working under and
here and there where deliveries have
been late and things have not gone ex-
consideration and registered few COM
plants if any.
This fact, too, in connection with
our patrons and something that we
are very grateful for-while this is
only the second of the month our col
lections for the month of June are
away ahead of what they have been on
the 10th of any previous month. So.
Notwithstanding our losses, everything
considered, we feel that we have much
to be thankful for"

LOST IN WIND GAVE.
Sioux Falls Party Has a Narrowing
Experience.

Experience.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June RE
turning members of the Odd Fellows
party who spent last week in the
Black Hills are telling of an unpleas-
ant experience which befell several
visitors, among them some from this
city.
1t was on the occasion of a visit to
the famous wind cave. The Sioux
Falls members of this particular party
were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Freeman,
Mr.. Searls and Mrs. Fred Kreiser.
On entering the cave they were told
to keep behind the guide and close
to each other.
Everything went all right until on
the return trip, when Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeman, Mr.. Searles and Mrs. kreis-
err, with four others. followed the lead
of Mr. Freeman and were soon sepa-
der of the party. At first it was fun,
as they thought they would easily
overtake the remainder of the party
with the guide. When this was at
tempted it was found not SO easy, and
it soon dawned on each member of the
party that they were lost.
They decided that the best thing to
do was to camp right where they
were. To go hunting around might
carry them further away and make
their rescue more difficult They also
realized that the oil in their torches
would not last much longer, and to
prevent being left in total darkness.
they put out all the torches but one,
and as soon as that one burned out
another was lighted. BY this means
they were never in total darkness.
When the original party with the
guide reached the mouth of the cave
and was checked up. the loss of the
others was discovered Eight guides
were soon dispatched and in about two
hours the party was located and
brought back to the mouth of the
cave.
