CHICAGO, Jan. 23-Unless a sudden
blizzard holds up the freight trains and
blocks the highways entering Chicago
delegates from many cities will attend
a grand convention" here this week.
The convention of the unemployed
is going to be held anyway, under the
auspices of the international brother
hood welfare association"
Eighty men who are spending their
time in Chicago just now, awaiting
jobs of not too laborious a nature,
gathered today at 763 West Van Buren,
street and pledged their support
whether delegates come or not
The decision followed the announce
ment that refreshments would be
served at each meeting.
J. Eads How. the millionaire tramp"
of St. Louis. who arrived last week,
stirred up the local hoboes to a reali-
zation of their duty. Ellis B. Carr,
editor of the Christian Socialist ex-
planned matters still further. Carr's
words were cut short, by the arrival
of a consignment of coffee and sand
wiches, which proved irresistible to
those assembled.
The brotherhood does not limit it's
membership TO men. Mrs Nellie Whit
ney of Marshall, Mimi, attended the
meeting. She is not one of the unem-
p,oyed. but she has just finished a tour

DISCOVER KNIFE USED
TO BEHEAD LOUIS XVI
Collector Secured Relic When
GuiIlotine Was Pawned

The knife of the guillotine used at
the execution of Louis XVI and Marie
Antoinette has been discovered in the
museum of a private collector In Brus-
sells. This grewsome relic seems well
authenticated From note by NJ Gus
taye Babin in the Illustration, it seems
that M. Dubois, director des halles de
Bruxelles. acquired it by purchase in
1S43 from Nine. Roch, widow of the
executeur des hautes oeuvres.
ITp to this time Nine. Roch declared
that it had never passed out of her
possession The late NJ. Deibler claimed
il but as he would not pay, the widow
refused to accede to his request. He
complained to the minister of justice,
with the result that the widow was de-
sired to take the blade to the archives.
But as the state seemed to emulate NJ.
DeibIer's parsimony, the widow stuck
to her grim souvenir and sold it to NJ.
Dubois.
The humorous side of this relic fol-
lows, but we must first complete the
title" NJ Roch received the knife
from his predecessor, NJ. Hemdereich;
who himself had obtained it from
Henri Samson, the last descendant of
the dynasty of this name. Now, Henri
Samson was the grandson of the eXecu-
tioner Of the king and queen. He was
dismissed from his high office on ac-
count of a scandal. The executioner,
suffering from the res augusta" had
to raise a loan, and his fertility of
idea succeeded where most men would
have failed, and, TO tell the truth, he
pawned the guillotine And, adds a
Paris contemporary which relates the
story. La Veuve chez la Tante; cette
recontre parut intolerable." AS an in

Miss o. ScattergOOd, Artist
Well Known in Europe, Sue
cumbs Suddenly at Stewart

AS she was leaving the dining room
Offow Scattergood an artist. well
known in France and England, fell in
faint to the floor and died immediate
ly The hotel lobby was crowded at
the time and the sudden death caused
great excitement
Miss Scattergood was a passenger on
the steamship China, which arrived in
this port Saturday. She had been TAX
ing a vacation in the orient to recu-
perate from serious illness. Her
home is in England, although she has
a sister in Marseilles and was en- route
TO that. place.
She consulted with DR.. H. Dankroe-
ger. A woman physician who lives at
the Stewart hotel, yesterday afternoon,
and had arranged for an examination
after her dinner
1t was while she was leaving the din
ing room with her physician and walk
ing through the lobby to the elevator
that she was suddenly seized with the
fatal fainting spell
She was removed to her apartments
and DR. w P. Harvey was called. Death
had been instantaneous, however. The
physicians gave as cause heart dis
ease.
Miss Scattergood took few persons
on the China into her confidence, but
to those with whom she conversed she
said that she was an artist. London
was her home but most of her life
had been spent in LEstaque, France.
The management of the Stewart no
tilted the British consul of her death
and on his advice turned over the body

CEYLON ONCE IN HIGH
STATE OF CIVILIZATION
Vestiges of Ancient SpIendor
Remain on Island

Despite the fact that its great tea

the name of the island of Ceylon but
few know anything of its manifold
beauties of mature, its soft cline, its
wondrous gems, its history, observes
the London GlobeA Five hundred years
before the Christian era the agricultur-
list titled the soil of Ceylon, and a high
state of civilization, the vestiges of
which in the shape of ruins of mag
nificent architectural and engineering
works remain in attestation, existed
True the form of government and of
social organization was purely patri-
archal, but the people practiced the
virtues and enjoyed the luxuries which
are considered the test of our modern
civilization.

METHOD OF TESTING
RUN OF GOLF BALLS
Run Little Spheres on Sand on
Frost Covered Grass

There is a capital way, which we
have discovered only lately of testing
the running of golf ball off the putter.
1t can only be adopted on a day when
the green or lawn is coated over with
drops of moisture on the grass blades.
either from white frost dew or the de-
posit of a sea fog or Scotch mist. When
this is so each ball as ii runs along
leaves its track plainly marked by a
green line where it has swept the sill
very drops off the grass blades. The
difference in the way of running of
balls of different makes. and of some
balls of the same make, is very marked
and curious. We can assure all and su-
dry, says Country Life. that it is a test
worth trying. because the knowledge of
the ball that will run true on the put
ting green is knowledge that will serve
us well.

Edible Flowers of India.

Many edible flowers. it appears. are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on tree about which we have very little information, but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers. whos1 pale yellow corollae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them fin various ways.
 When they are fresh they are put in cakes. to which they give a sweet flavor. but they are more especially used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment kind of wine is produced. and by distiling them a brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond.-Vulgarisa ton Sciertif1que.

 q fought and I bled, but I did not die'
 He told of his exploits in the war and how he had captured Gen. Co., burn of Indiana and Gen. Shafter Shafter, he said, had fired at him five times during the Confederate charge without hitting him. He ad- mitted that on more than one occa- sion he had been "skeered," but said that whenever the Union and Confed- crate soldiers met they were always good friends. Asserting that he lov- ed the negro, he declared that he wanted Mason and DiXon's line oblit- erated from the map of the United States.

No Wonder the Bird was Not Ienoef
 When Served.
 One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans. one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates.
 "All the boys," said MT. Cleveland "thanked me politely for having re, membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, l found, had his cooked on a night when he was dining out Another, when I asked him.. said he hoped I wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally asked him about 1t.
 'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 "'Yes, sir-oh. yes, got the swan all right, thank you, and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 "'Fine bird,' 1 said.
 "'Yes, sir. fine bird.' and he went on working.
 "'Enjoy eating him. Thurber?'
 "He waited minute, and then he said: Well. sir, I guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And he went on working without cracking a smile"
