NEW YORK. August 16.-New

were put on last night are not a

THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK

BRUSSELS, August 1s.-Business
men or Brussels are to-day demanding
that an extra session of the Belgian
Parliament be called to make provis-
ion against panic following the finan-
cial reverses occasioned by Sundays
disastrous fire that almost wiped out
the Brussels International Exposition
The exposition was reopened oday
under the most discouraging circum-
stances. Only a handful OF visitors
were present, and 1t is now certain
that the enormous crowds that were
expected during the latter part of Au-
gust and September will not material
ize. This not only means that the
exposition will be conducted at tre-
mendous loss. but that the merchants
and towns people will get practically
no return on the heavy investments
they have made. Already thousands
of exposition employees have been let
out and local labor conditions are in
danger of being upset by this army of
unemployed.
Parliament will probably be asked
TO vote bonus to the promoters of
the exposition and to inaugurate gov
eminent works to provide for those out
of employment.

No one came to the door. As he stood on the doorstep the water firm the caves trickled down his collar. He rapped again. Still no answer. He could feel the stream of water cours- ing down his back.

Not bloom for pore ole dad True, our mother watched above us Till her dear old eyes would ache, But old dad he bumped to feed us Till he back would nearly break; Mother crooned above the cradle, Gave devotion, all she had, Still that wasn't any circus
 At this time for pore old dad! Do not take one line from mother When ye write the soul-sweet song But if there's a word for father Now and then it won't be wrong.

HYDRoPHoBlA SKUNKS.
Professor Simmons is Studying the Species With View to
 Determination.

Professor Howard l.. Simmons, sent out by the department of the interior to the desert parts of Arizona and Cal ifornia to investigate the skunks of these sections to find out if there are any species of the hydrophobia skunk is here, says the San Bernardino Free Press. After a close search of three months he has found that this poi sonous breed is missing among the skunks of the desert He stopped over in the city last night en route to Flag staff to see about the eXtermination of the skunk population of Arizona, which the government is soon to take up.
 Professor Simmons stated last night that to his knowledge there has been in the last six weeks seven persons who died in Arizona from the bite of the hydrophobia skunk and many more that had to go to Los Angeles and take the Pasteur treatment for bites. It is to end this danger that the gov ernment will take a hand, as 1t did with the prairie dog situation in Kan sas and other states.
 In describing the poisonous skunk, Professor Simmons said that it was much smaller than the skunk found in this country, and it has whSe stripe across its back and on the sides, that it is perfectly fearless and will crawl in bed with a sleeping person and take a great delight in biting. Very few persons bit ever recover; it's habi- ! tation being the most remote parts of the country, and when anyone is bit ten it is hard to get treatment at once
