TRANSIT HOUSE BURNS
Hotel in Chicago Stockyards
Prey of Flames,

fire in Chicago completely de-
stroyed the Transit House, the his
toric hotel which stood for years fac
ing the Root street entrance to the
Chicago stockyards, wiped out one life
and may have been fatal to two other
persons.
The fire broke out at 1870 p. m. in
the basement of the hotel which is
well known by almost every stockman
in the United States. A young woman
employee spread the alarm. and 200
guests and employees made their own
escapes or were assisted to safety by
firemen. Several persons were over
come by smoke in the upper floors and
were carried to the street.
F4remen removed one body from the
TIljMs of the hotel, and began a search
for two others reported to be in the
ruins.
The body recovered is believed 10
be that of a man employee of the no.

SURPRISE IN BEEF CASE.
Government Witness Testifies in Fa.
vor of Accused Packers.

At Chicago William D. Miles, the
former general manager of the Armour
packing company of Kansas City,
heralded as the star witness for the
government, but who surprised the ten
Chicago packers on trial by giving
testimony in favor of the accused men,
will resume the stand in Judge Car
penter's court.
Questioned by James F. Sheean,
special prosecutor, Miles said there al
ways was the keenest competition for
business among the packing firms and
that the "old pool'' was for regulating
the volume of business and not to fix
the price of fresh meats, as charged in
the Indictment.
The testimony of Miles came as
surprise. He had been before two fed
eral grand juries and it was on his
testimony that the government re-
turned indictments.

At indianapolis Thursday Frank Eek
hoff, the Cincinnati coremaker, who
has been at French Lick in company
with a Burns detective since his dis

mara { hat he was in frequent con-
sultatiOn with the iron workers sec
rotary at his Offices in this city. Eek
hoff is admittedly the most important
witness that has been before the jury,
and it is understood by Burns, to whom
he gave a detailed story OF dynamiting
outrages, that he would make a clean
b. asst of his knowledge when called
as q witness.
He is said to have had knowledge
of the methods of operation of the
iron workers and knew out of what
cities they were principally operating

tives to place in Pennsylvania where

A Summer Without NIGHTS.

To the summer visitor in Sweden
there is nothing more striking than
the almost total absence of night. At
Stockholm, the Swedish capital. the sun
goes down a few minutes before 10
o'clock and rises again four hours
later during a greater part of the month
of June. But the four hours the sun
lies hidden in the frozen north are not
hours of darkness. The refraction of
his rays as he passes around the north
pole makes midnight as light as a
cloudy midday and enables one to read
the finest print without artificial light
at any time duriNg the night"

Coronation Graft.

The practice of running the foun-
tains and conduits with wine on coro-
nation day was abandoned after the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, but another
old custom was observed up to the
coronation of George w. After the
king and the company had departed
from the banquet in Westminster hall
the doors were thrown open, and the
people rushed in and cleared the ia
bles of erything-victuals, cloths,
plates, dishes. ETC.. all vanished in a
few minutes. And, as Sir Walter
Scott tells us, the nobility were not
above taking away the saltcellars and
spoons.
