FERRIS WHEEL IS NO MORE
Wonder Of Two Worlds Fairs ID
Destroyed by Dynamite.

Blown to pieces by a monster
charge of dynamite, the Ferris vince
came to an ignominious end recently
after varied career of 13 years. Al
it's ending it was unwept and unsung.
Constructed as one of the engineer
ing feats of a century, it first was g
feature of the Chicago worlds fair in
1893
Then for long period of monumen
tai and Improbable inactivity it tow
cred in 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 a great expo
sition
For more than a month heavy wag
ons laden with 1900 tons of steel OF
its construction numbered through
Chicago streets. The old wheel, which
had become st. Louis white elephant
dies hard. 1t required 200 pounds OF
dynamite to put it out Of business.
The first charge was explode under
the supports of the north side of the
structure, wrecking it's foundation and
permitting the wheel to drop to the
ground. a matter of but few feet.
AS the wheel settled it slowly turn
ed with its bottom as support, and
then after tottering moment like a
hugh giant in distress, it collapsed
slowly and within a few minutes II
was tangled mass of steel and iron
30 or 40 feet high. The huge axle,
reighing IA tons, dropped slowly witt
the remnants of the wheel, crushing
the smaller braces and steel frame
work. When the mass stopped set
Ting it bore no resemblance to the
wheel which was so familiar to Chi
cago and st. Louis and the 100000
amusements seekers from all over
the world In the days when 1t was in
operation, who made the trip to the
top of its height of 264 feet and then
slowly around and down to the start
ing place
: Following the blast that wrecked
the wheel, but which failed to shatter
its foundations came an explosion of
another charge Of 100 pounds of
dynamite. The stocks were sunk in
holes drilled in the concrete founda-
tons 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
$360,000, its dimensions and it's utter
uselessness. 1t was the rival OF the
Eifel tower of Paris. Chicago was
glad to get rid of it and st. Louis is
said to have witnessed its destruction
with satisfaction.
George Washington Gale Ferris,
president Of Pittsburg engineering
firm, originated the idea Of the wheel
that bore his name, and adapting the
constructive principals of steel bridges
in it's erection.

An arrest by the police every seven
and one half minutes. An arrest fol
Drunkenness every 10 minutes.
An assault and battery case every &c
minutes.
Burglary every three hours.
A holdup every six hours. Two sui.
cides every day. One murder every
day.
Of the murders only one in 30 are
ever aprrehended and only one in SO

The table is compiled from the off.
cial records, and it is admitted that
they do not take account of more than
one half the crimes.
Attorney Cleveland's address con-
sumed the time scheduled for 30 ar
rests, six robberies and three assaults
and battery.
These crimes are committed with
this frequency day and night through
out the year" continued Mr.. Cleveland.
18th contemplation of these figures
is astounding, and enough to strike ter
ror to the heart Of every law abiding
and peaceful citizen. We are in the
clutches of gigantic wave of crime
such as Chicago never before has
known"

Durham, Natal, May 16. - Search
lights promise to prove as effective
weapons in subduing the sedition' of
the Zulus as the British guns, judging
fromthe display given recently by Ma
tive Commissioner Saunders before a
huge gathering of Zulus at the Kha-
nadahala headquarters of the punitive
force.
The navties were awe stricken and
regarded the searchlight as the eye of
the Almighty and said that God has
turned it upon them in his anger.
The flashing of the light on the sur
rounding hills. bringing in plain view
the Kafir trails ags far as the horizon,
powerfully impressed the Zulus, who,
when the light was suddenly flashed in
their faces, covered and fell on the
ground before what they termed the
--latest witchcraft of the whites.

STABBED TO Death

st.. Petersburg May 15.-vice AID.
miral Kuzmioh, commander of the
port, who was very unpopular with
the workmen, whose. May day demon.
stration he had attempted to stop.
The admirla was killed at the new
admiralty works, a government instu.
tion.
When most Of the 1000 men employ.
ed there reported for duty at 5 O'Clock
Monday momrning they wanted immed
lately to march out and celebrate the
Russian May day, but finally asgeed to
work until Q p. m.
The admiral. however. made a
speech to the men, saying that he could
not agree to their leaving work at 2
O'Clock and the matter was left open.
At about $3.50 a. M, according to an
officer who was at the gate of the
works, the ADMIRAL was emerging from
q small shop when q workman who
had been concealed around THE corner
of the building leaped upon Kuzmmich
from behind and drove long dagger
into his back.
The admiral fell forward on his face
which was badly cut by stones, and
died Immediately.
The assassin fled into a large forge,
where he was lost among the men en-
ployed there. The works were prompt
~ SURROUNDED by troops and police, but
the search for the murderer was una
vailing, his companions protesting ig-
norance of his identity. The police say
it is evident that the assassination of
the admiral had been planned in ad-
vance.
The dagger, which was found on the
pot, was concealed in a round sticklike
sword canae. Among the workmen are
many former sailors and revoultionists.

kah, and his brother, Sampatras, have
arrived in New York from Liverpool.
The Maharajah Gaekwar Is the second

dia company wrested control from
them. He is the ruler of the state of
Baroda, which has population of
100000 and an area of 5000 square

There were many people ON the
pier to see the ruler of Baroda, but
those who expected to see a. man
decked in oriental trappings and hung
with jewels were disappointed. De-
scending the gang plank there came
a dapper little man who would have
been taken ordinarily for a pros
porous East Indian merchant. He and
his wife, followed by two maids, were
taken to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel,
where they will stop while in New
York
During my. stay in the United
States" said the maharajah, 81 shall
