SHOOTING STARS.
By pHILANpER JOHNSON.

The New Delsarte.
We once made a study Of how to dis
Emotions by facial expression or pose.
We took all our feelings apart,
And watched ev'ry curve SO respon-
sive, that turned.
BY which inside facts could be readily
learned.
The science was known as "Del-
sarte."
Great interest now is revived in that
same -s... .--...,..-
Where delegates play the political
game
With vigilance eager and smart.
There are love, hate and fear and
revenge In the air;
There are sorrow and joy; there are
hope and despair
All Chicago is full Of Delsarte.

SO say two prominent Ncw York
physicians. Tliuness, weakness and
lack Of ambition are in most cases due
to underfed nerves. and this is so,
simply because modern foods are la
mentally weak in phosphoric clements.

about the only way that many thin

800 Steers Escape Ship;
Become Food for Sharks

rails and Plunge Overheard
Only To Be DevOured

HAVANA, June 7.-Hundreds Of fine
steers stampcded On board the Ameri-
can steamship St. Charles outside Of
Havana Harbor Saturday afternoon
and after causing panic plunged into
the sea, where they became the prey Of
sharks. Except for comparatively few
that swan ashore and are now wander
ing about in the suburbs of this city,
all the 800 steers on the St. Charles are
believed to have persisted.
Sanitary officers were alarmed when
they found 1870 dead steers in the hold
Of the ship. To avoid possible danger
to the people of the city, they ordered
the captain to put out to sea and throw
overheard the carcasses Of the cattla.
While the crew was engaged In this
task the steers on board became STAN
peded, broke down their corrals and
ran amuck. Frightened animals ran up
and down the decks and then plunged
overheard, where the sharks were
awaiting them.
Tugs were sent out to the St. Charles
and found the crew virtually paralyzidc
with terror. For time there was dan
ger that the vessel would drift on the
rocks near the harbor entrance, but it
was at last brought into port.

Special Dispatch to rho Tribune

CHICAGO, June There has been
enough whisky drawn from warehouses
within the last few weeks to provide
a quart of the mellow liquid to every
drinker in the city Of Chicago and tho
visitors to the convention. This an
nouncement was made to-day by Cap
tain Hubert Howard, State Prohibition
Administrator, when he refused to
issue any more prescription blanks to
physicians. who seem to have all run
short within the last few days.
After this startling announcement
arises. "Ahe the drinkers getting that
quartz" The chorus probably would
be heard in New York If they all
answered at once. It would be = great
big, "Yes!" Chicago Is good and wet
these days.
Harry Mayer, Collector Of Internal
Revenue, to-day made the discovery
after an investigation which Washing
ton was particularly interested In, that
100000 worth Of liquor has been taken
during few months from the Sibley
Warehouse, where all seised libations
arc stored. It seemed that prepare
items have been under way for . long
time to entertain the visitors to the
convention.
This liquor which has 20 mysterious-
ly disappeared from the warehouse 10
but small portion compared to that
taken in recent drug store raids and
other warehouse thefts.

and Ave other central states, made this
admission:
Every saloon in Chicago is running
wide open. We know It. But what
are we to do? If I were to employ
enough men to handle every local
situation it would soon bankrupt the
government; by which l mean that If

"The only thing that we can do is to
depend on the local police. The police
of Chicago are not cooperating with

law, but they are countenancing the
most Migrant violation"

sion Of the guest, all the waiter has to
worry about is the ginger ale.
Captain Howard, in refusing the
physicians prescriptions, said!
Let the weak delegates drink strong
coffee. There is nothing better for the
nerves.
"There are $4,000 gallons Of whisky
and other connections outside Of the
warehouse now. That is enough to
give Chicagoans another quart around
when the convention leaves"
There is another legal way to OBJ
tain drink, too. There is a provision
in the law whereby factory owners may
