CONCRETE WORK HINDERED.
Many Tons of Earth Cave in On Foun-
dation Walls of EIks' Building, Just

dation Walls of Elks' Building, Just
Started.
Work upon the basement walls Of
the new Elks building has been con-
siderably retarded this week by reason
of the rainy weather and dirt caving
in. on both the east and west sides.
A section of the concrete footing, fif-
teen or twenty feet in length, was laid
Wednesday forenoon, beginning at the
northwest corner and extending south.
Before the day closed many tons Of
earth gave way and buried much of the
concrete to a depth Of several feet The
same thing occurred on the east side,
altho work had not been commenced
on the foundation walls on that side.
Probably a hundred wagon-loads of
the earth wall gave way on that side.
Pumps We're being operated this
morning to draw the surplus water
out of the basement. The earth that
was. carried in can not be removed yet,
for the reason that teams and wagons
would nire down in the soft clay.

LIKE NOTHING Else ON EARTH.
Night Lights Of New York Are Vision
Of MsgnIfleenee.

The sky line OF New York is always
changing So, too, the night lights
shift and grow in wonderful magnifi.
cence, creeping continually further up
ward toward the stars, until the lower
city, grouped around the Singer tower,
has become q veritabe Chimborazo OF
glitter and glow. The little lamps that
mark the dark wharves barely show.
Above them the scant candles Of the
older city twinkle here and there, but
not enough to mar the dark foreground
beyond which come the palaces more
gorgeous than any ever coaxed from
genii land by slaves Of Aladdin's lamp.
From the platform towers of the great
bridge the picture sets to the best ad-
vantage. II begins with the sinking
sun. The murky view beyond the bay
betcomes dull and dark. The torch in
Liberty's hand suddenly CLEANS star
like in the night and then, like the
twinkling In a kaleidoscope, the pal
aces begin to glitter In the gloom.
There is no vision like II elsewhere in
the world, yet only now and then does
bridge pedestrian pause in his hur-
ried walk to give the spectacle a mo-
mentary glance. The usual New York
er cares little for the splendor Of his
TOWN.. 7. World.

The Quaint seIluqa.

Caviare can be made of the roe Of
any fish; but the principal supply
comes from the sturgeon and the bel

curious ash in the world. 1t weighs

Is SO abundant that the natives Of
Astracan throw away the flesh
which Is whittier than veal and very
dainty-and preserve only the spawn.
OF which they Sometimes take as
much as 200 pounds out Of one fish.
This belluga lies on the bottom OF
the river at certain seasons and swal-
lows many large pebbles OF great
weight to ballast Itself against the
force Of the stream; that 10, the
pebbles act as an anchor. When the
food subsidies and the waters are less
violent the beIluga disgOrges itself;
that is, It unballasts, hauls In Its An,

Peculiar African Race.

There is q peculiar sort OF people
living in northwest RhodesIa. These
natives are small 81 stature, with large
horns on their heads. The horn

long. For the most part these Kanirs
live on the great open Oats to be found
on both sides of the Kafue river. They
build their huts on the great ant heaps
which appear like hills scattered over
the Fats. When the Kafve is In food
and the fats are changed into great
lakes these people are safe in their

FORT LEAVENWoRTH PRISON.
ERs SAFELY REMOVED UNDER

.C0NVIGTs SCREAM IN TERROR
Fire Is Fought by Soldiers Of the
FORTHCOMING to Lack Water Pres
sure Fire Department Was
Almost Useless.

Leavenworth, Kas., April 1.-THE
military prison at Fort Leavenworth
was destroyed by fire late last night.
The prisoners were removed from the
cell houses under a heavy guard OF
United States troops and confined in
stockade.
None Of the prisoners escaped, as
far as a hasty resume Of the situa-
ton after midnight, showed, but this
may not be definitely known until
today.
Owing to the low water pressure
the fire department of the fort was
almost useless.
The FIRE was fought by the soldiers
of the fort who were ordered out Of
their quarters aud those who were
on leave in the city were at once
called back to the post.
Two soldiers were injured while
nghting the flames, but none Of the
prisoners were hurt in anyway.
Much excitement attended the re-
moval Of the prisoners, many Of
whom are desperate characters. 1t
was feared they would make an or.
ganiEed break for safety.
The fire broke out about 10 o'clock
In the tailor shop and soon 1t was
seen that the main building was
doomed
A great cutlery at once broke out in
the prison, the vonvicts fearing that
they would be burned to death. They
battered on the doors of their cell
houses, as the light OF the fire
ntreamed in through the windows.
Many screamed interior as the
authorities for the moment refused
to remove them. Soon, however,
several companies of soldiers. includ-
ing cavalry men had gotten under
arms. A strong Gordon of troops was
thrown about the prison and every
precaution taken to prevent escape
Ali the soldiers that could be spared
from the ranks OF the fire fighters
were detaile AS guards and then the
delivery of the prisoners began.

Chinese Historical Plays That Keep
Alive Race Prejudice.

Historical plays are acted every.
where in ChiE1 They are popular In
the quiet villages, the homes of the
rich, in the crowded cities. and in the
busy market towns. These plays are
written with the object Of intensity
ing the bitterness and contempt Of the
peopls against the foreigner. The
story OF plunderings and massacres Of
their forefathers IL wildly portrayed,
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner IL rep
resented a. a monster In appearance
His face 10 dragged out Of shape and
his mouth is made to appear near hts
ear. His beard on one side 10 red and
on the other blue. His eyes are fierce
and staring. and murder is stamped
upon his hideous features. The peo-
pie Of the interior, who have never
come into actual contact with the for
eigner, have this conception Of the
hated barbarian. To their minds
Americans, French, English, Germans
are all alike, barbarians to be de-
stroyed.
