AlwaYS - Y:o1r;pt, safe and pluasant, reqiiiring no rtnr medicine, Nt•vet•fniiiiig Lave no bad after Prico, 25 cents por E01:. T•TOW In contemplating the grandeur of the greatest of all great, World's Fairs and computing the expense incurred in the construction and maintenance of the wondrous city of beauty and pleasure in million -mark figures, one cost has been overlooked -and that cost is human life. Not dollars alone have been "sacrificed in the creation of this grand pleasure and educational center of the earth; death, too, has accompanied the archi- tect and concessionaire. The exact number of lives lost by the World's Fair, directly and indirectly, cannot, in -the nature of circumstances, be deterrnined.» But the mortuary statistics of the Eiposition, if ever com- plied, would . reath, at the least, the half -thousand mark. This is the un- written tragedy of the great drama of art and architecture, says The Chicago Times. The first death of the Fair ocourred Oct. 9, 1891, almost before the marsh of the fairyland had been overturned. But the pile-driver rose and fell, rose and fell, with one unceasing squeak, and the lilt- putians bent to their tasks, -and the first liliputian and the other liliputians that 'found their graves at progress's shrine were forgotten. During the construction period of the Fair -thirty-two deaths on the ground were reported at the emergency hospital. Practically all of these deaths were directly caused by accidents -the natur- al and unavoidable result of such huge building operations. Nearly all the deaths were among laborers engaged in some way in the work of rhising the buildings °Utile Fair proper. Less than a half dozen deaths occurred in the erection of the State buildings. In considering loss of life congratula- tions can never be properly expressed, perhaps; but the men in charge of the construction of the Fair structures and architecture certainly deserve compli- ment for their carefulness in providing safeguards for the thousands of work- men. The best proof of this is compara- tive chronology. In construCting the Centennial buildings and making ground the lou of life was 118, nearly four times as large as that attendant upon the building of the greater fair. The deaths at the Paris Exposition during the construction period numbered ninety- • six, just three times as largess the num- ber at Chicago's Fair. During the six months the Fair was open the number of deaths on4heground was thirty-six, four larger dam during the construction period. Strangely, the major number of these deaths were among visitors, and comparatively few of the employes about the grounds or among exhibitors met death either from sickness or accident. Inchided in the deaths of June' was that of H. W. D. Richmond, of Dunlap, Ill., who sustained a fracture of three ribs and internal injuries in an accident on the icy railway the day of its open- ing, June 14. The breaking of a king- bolt between two sleds on the down grade of the returning track threw one of the sleds to the ground, fifteen feet below, when running at a speed' of forty • miles an hour. Mr. Richmond and five • other persons were hurt seriously. His death at the emergency hospital marked the first mortality of the ice track, but the following day,. June 15, John Smith, of Cincinnati, an engineer employed by the railway, slipped while oiling one of the engines used in the manufacture' of ice, and was struck on the head by a rapidly moving crank and instantly killed. The July mortality, the largest during any month of the Fair, would have been the smallest had it » not been for the dreadful catastrophe that all the world knows as the cold -storage fire. This appalling calamity caused the death of thirteen persons of the fifteen reported on the grounds during the month. On the pages of the hospital record in the service building the names stand black and horrible to remem- brance. The deaths of each month of the Fair from the date of its opening to its dose were as follows: May, 4; June, 7: July, 15. August, 8; September, 3; October, 4. In all the strange and incongruous mass of humanity at the Fair not one man or woman died unidentified. The emer- gency hospital has record of the death of every person prostrated within the grounds front any cause, whether re- moved to other hospitals ortheir homes in distant States. The first death on the grounds was that of R. K. Morrision,- of CloYerton, Ga., who succumbed- to heart disease. The last death was that of A. Kelly, who, despite of his nomenclature, _was a danefir in the Dahossian village. He was found dead in his bed, and the coroner's jury decided that peritonitis had been the oause. Qt the people stricken on the grounds, while but few were in poverty, the number of well to de was equally small. James H. Malcolm, who died of apolexy, in October, was the most notable excep- tion to the prostrated visitors. Valuable jewelry and $1500 in cash were found On his person. The most tragio death was that of John Dryden, an employe engaged in the discharge of fireworks. He was killed by a bursting shell Oct. P.

The head -end collision of the Pan- : handle passenger for Louisville and the northbound Fort Wayne milk train at Colehour Sept. 7 wae the first: of these terrible wrecks, and %vas one of the ex- ceptions tO the others. But even this was due to the World's Fair, In the hurry to conduct people to their homes the Panhandle Company abandoned its tracks reaching about Chicago and Used a single straight track with fewer stops for crossings on the Fort Wayne road., Else the Accident would not hay() hap - ' peeled. . In this first collision thirteen were killed and seventeeu injured. The total list of deaths occasioned by the haste and crowding of World's Fair traffic was 198. , . These figures bring tbe total 'limber of deaths directly caused by the Fair, at the grounds Mid elsewhere, up to 280. But evetIliese figures are inadequate. They fairto even suggest, what either. of the great exhibitions of human progress cost in human life. They are simply the numbers of the beings who died at the spots of the great achievements that hurried them to their graves. In them is no acconnt of the street railway ao cidents. They give no idea of the hor- rors of tl e collisions of the pulsing fly- ing traini that hurried hundreds to death alike in the blackness of the .night and the glarelOf the noonday in the mad haste of American energy. They do not speak of the.unknown number of motile that no less surelywere thrown into eternity by worry, bighted ,hopes, the struggle for life in an overcrowded city, murder and disease -x11 the result of the greatest undertaking of Man -all the cost of the goon. cl Tne saddest death was that of Mrs, Augusta Baas, of L'Appelle, Canada, who died ia childbirth. One of the notable- deaths at the Fair was that of Capt. Henry Barr, of the Reveuue Marine Service, who died of heart disease while seated at a banquet board in the presence (of his wife, Sept. 7. 7. State Senator Donald McNaughton, of New York, was another prominent visitor who came to the end of life at the great Exposition. He was taken ill with typhoid fever and died July O. The mortuary figures of the Fair show many surprising facts. But four deaths were caused by railway accidents at the grounds, one of these a young woman. Cases of apoplexy and heart disease, doubtless superinduced by the crush and excitement were numerous but, despite the many . prostrations from heat, not one death was caused by sunstroke. This fact is particularly remarkable , when it is remembered that the larger number of deaths among visitors at hoth the Philadelphia and Paris Exposi- does resulted from this cause. Despite the suffering among the Mid - Wig residents from the other ends of tbe earth, and the fear of, mortality, no Da- homan died of cold and no Laplander died of -heat. All deaths among the for- eign contingents must be . ascribed to other causes than Lake Michigan weather, . • And in ail the vast crowds at the great show, • la ger tnari' ever before. within an inolos re and packed at times so oltheely that breathing in the mass became a difficulty. it is remarkable World's never be uever kn Fair in never ow-; the direct cost is lightly estimated at the half -thousand mark.

It has been oft/en noticed in India how fast a welf travels by means of a loung- ing loping trot that is by no means sug- gestive of speed. While one gallops after it as hard as a good horse can go, the wolf pursued, never apparently liurryin, lollops along at a .pace that equals that of the following steed. I have heard it said that no horseman ever rode a wolf down;: but to this state- ment I Must demur, inasmuch as I have done thia thing. Perhaps my wolf was sick. • Be th pig -stick against wolf tur ed sharply when I closed with it, and he horse I rode (a rare good one) kicI ed . it over with his fore feet, and made the matter of.spearing my wolf sim )licityritself. • One of my coin- panio US ( of this had rid my own t as 'it may, I did, when out ng iu the Ganges country over lgong follow a wolf, and that f that day found explanation ormance in the fact that I ea another man's horse with spurs.-Blaok wood's Magazine.

He was a travelling salesman, who spent most of his time on the road, far from his loved wife and ohildree. .For the benefit of the latter he had placed his family- in a neat little cottage with a nice yard, and bo' cated in the suburbs above the bridge, where life is not so crowded as it is in the city. • Being an affectionate husband and father, says the New York Herald, end finding himself in an adjoining town on Saturday morning, he resolved to take advantage of the opportunity be pass Sunday by his own hearthstone and in the bosom of hie family. He would also give his wife a pleasant sur- prise. Arriving at the 'Cottage he found the door lacked and n.o one at, home. " She is out marketing for Sunday," he said, and ef- fecting an entrance,proceeded to make him- self at home. He . went out on the front p rch and was greatly pleased to gee his y ungest child, a baby in arms- when he had last seen it, toddling around the yard. lie wondered what he could do to amuse it, and suddenly remembered that his wife always gave the children it bath before put- ting them to bed, He would bathe this one so as to give her more time to talk with him. , He very soon had the baby in the bath tub, and despite its appeals for "Ma, me, and pa, pa,' had it well lathered and thoroughly sornbbed. While drying the child his wife ebtered the room, "Oh, Frank I" she oried, "How did you get home f"- 1 am deligUed. "1 thought I weals' surprise yon, dear, and he released her from hie embrace and pointed proudly at iiis work.. " But what are yen doing ?" she asked, as she picked up the naked and shining infant. "1 washed the child so we could have more time together," he replied. "But this is not our child, Frank; it be- longs toeur neighbor, next door." . F ank returned the borrowed infant and apil1ogied, but he will get some one to introdnoe him the next time he comes home. Lead xlys Not Into Temptation.
