NEGRO CONTESTS KNOWLEDGE OF

Ac- cording to the police. Conley is al legged to have stated that Leo Frank, superintendent of the pencil factory, sent him into the metal room the day the girl disappeared, where the negro found the body.

SHOWING IS GOOD
 AT BIG PINE MINE
(From Fridays Daily.)


 C. H. Dunning, superintendent of the Big Pines mines, near Senator, while in the city yesterday expressed himself in a pronounced manner over underground conditions, stating that at no time in the history of the proposition has the showing been SO attractive as at present.
 The character of development is in driving the main tunnel from a designated point in the old workings, where the ore zone has been passed. As the new work progresses a mag nificent body of ore is being proven, and so far as the tunnel has been run, there is a continuous body of over four feet, which is of a good milling grade. A permanent camp is established and as soon as con ditions will warrant, the force is to be increased. This proposition is being financed by Richard A. Parker, the mining engineer of note, who resides in Denver, and who has been a frequent visitor to the property.

GREAT RAIROAD
 REVERSES THE HEAVENS

NEW YORK, aMy H.-While
 New Workers, after the great rail
 road operations which have been
 carried on here in the past. few
 years are ready to admit that there
 is hardly anything which modern en-
 ginering cannot accomplish, the in
 effectual attempt of one great trans portation company to swing the heavens. around has caused consider able amusement.
 This attempt, which was brought to light by a lowly commuter after it had been overlooked by any num- Der of experts, did not involve turn ing over the sky, however, but has to do with the ceiling decoration of the last great terminal to be opened here. This ceiling which covers the great waiting room contains a beau tiful representation of the heavens, studded with golden stars which at night twinkle with electric bulbs. After thousands had admired 1t, it remained for the commuter in ques- ton to discover that the constella- ton of Aquarius occupied the posit- ion rightfully belonging to the con stellation of Pegasus, and SO on with all the other constellations Tn oth- r,rArI- LaI Aao,, and north, south.
 The way in which this curious mistake came about was that the ar tist in transferring the design to the ceiling projected it from below him self as it lay on the table instead of holding it above his head and dupli- eating the effect thus obtained. As a result the great decoration is now viewed hind side to, as it were. It is likely that no attempt will be made to rectify the error. The decorat- l ions were applied from scaffolding through the ceiling on wire cables attached to the girders l above. The twelve hundred odd holes through which these cables were withdrawn are cleverly con- cealed by as many plugs painted ex- actly like the ceiling, and these were pulled into place from above when the cables were withdrawn. There is little chance of their being moved.

PORTABLE DAM IS IN
 VENTED BY E. A. ENGLE.
tFrom Thursdays Daiiy)


 Recognizing the need for a durable substitute for the canvas conrrivanee now in general use for the purpose of flooding irrigating ditches, E. A.. Engle of this city has patented a portable dam. It can be made of any width to correspond to the width of the ditch, and consists of a concave metal apron the upper ends of which are joined by an ad- unstable rod to regulate the degree of concavity desired. This portable dam is inserted in the ditch, be- tween the banks and causes the water to back up and flood the ad- jacent land. Mir. Engle's invention has been highly commended by those familiar with irrigation meth ods and he hopes to interest capital to take hold of it and manufacture it

STRIKE REMOVES
 CHICKEN FROM THE MENU

NEW YORK, May 2o.-One of the strangest strikes on record-a chicken strike-has brought about a poultry famine here this week. It is not the fowls, however, that are striking, but the jobbers, who buy the chickens on their arrival here
 from the receivers who ship them to
 the city in carload lots.
 The jobbers have at last come out flat-footed and refuse to buy any more chickens until the dealers cease the practice of forcing them to pay for extra useless weight by stuffing the crops of the fowls with sand and gravel. As the retail deal CTS of the whole city rely on the jobbers for their supply, this means that chicken, as an article of food, is temporarily at least absent from the city's bill of fare.
 It is estimated that the profits of the receivers from the extra weight they obtain by sand and gravel fe eeding amount to S2,00O,0OO cl more every year It used to be customary | feed chickens that were received here from the West all of the corn they could eat. But that method soon became obsolete. There wasn't any profit in it, the jobbers say So the receivers adopted this scheme: The night before the chickens were to be unloaded the man in charge prepared for them a supper of thin meal and red pepper. That course merely whetted their appetites and made them thirsty. Then mess of soaked bread and buttermilk mixed with sand and gravel was prepared. The chickens ate this ravenously. Often they gained from fourteen to sixteen ounces in weight. As there are about 4,0O0 hens to a carload, 1 it was not unusual for the weight of the whole carload to be increased |, 35000 pounds. In dollars and cents that meant over $500 extra profit to every car. Dealers throughout | the city claim that all of their profits have been eaten up by the in weight of the chickens hey bought from the receivers.

YOUTH HAS MORE
 CHANCE FOR A LONG LIFE

NEW YORK, May 2o.-That the
 youth in this city has better chance
 for long life than it did 25 years ago, while the mature person has poorer one, are the apparently contradictory statements emanating from the latest vital statistics.
 A child under five years of age at present may reasonably look for ward to a life of fifty-two years, while thirty-one years ago a child of that age could expect to live only forty-one years, according to an important life table" of the Department of Health just issued after the most careful mathematical calculations covering all statistics between 1879 and the present time
 While the normal expectancy of a child under five has been in creased eleven years largely through the improvements in sanitary con- ditions, the fight against tuberculosis and the overcoming of many dis eases, such as diphtheria, scarlet fever and meningitis, which usually affected children, the expectancy for continued life in persons more than forty years old is diminishing That is, the table prepared in 1882 show i ed that man at forty years of age could reasonably expect to live twenty-two and one-half years more, while the table now issued shows that man at forty may expect to live only twenty-two years and one month. From forty years on there is a constantly increasing diminution of the expectancy of life as com pared with the statistics of thirty one years ago. The report also shows that the female portion of the population has a much better chance to live longer than the male portion
