Within the last month there have been
an alarming number Of cases Of pocket

OF which have been OF a most brutal

occurred everywhere.
Nearly all Of the attacks have been
in places where one would think a rob

times thugs have knocked women down
and seized their purses IN the glare of
an electric arc lamp. and once there has
been a case Of a women being knocked
TO the pavement and robbed with spee-
tatOrs not more than fifty yards away.
Police authorities believe that the

Financial Failure.

But. financially. the exposition Is a
tremz ldOus failure. According to a
financial statement recently issued BY the
company It is In debt TO the tune OF
something over s., 500, 900. This amount
includes $4,000 due on the Government
loan Of 100000.
There are at least four reasons plainly
accountable for the failure. First, the
opening Of the fair three months before

Family Lives Upon YoIks Of Eou..

the white of the egg is used and the
yolk is thrown away. This porter saw
all these egg yolks going to waste.
With the consent of the saloonkeeper
he provided small tin bucket and
now the bartenders put the discarded
egg yolks into it. When the porter
goes home each night he carries the
egg yolks with him. Often he has
