PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.
City Attorney T. J. Study last evening called the city council's attention to the fact that there "was no provision in the Main street pole ordinance which could be employed in compelling the traction company to remove its feed wires off its trolley poles. He
stated that the ordinance provided a
penalty of ?25 for each day any company allowed any or all Its wood poles
to remain standing on Main street
after the ordinance became effective,
but not a penalty was provided for any
company which permitted its wires to remain overhead. The matter was referred to the committee on franchises and ordinances and at the next council meeting it is probable this committee will report favoring an amendment to the ordinance to cover the case In question. Mr. Study stated several weeks ago the traction company one night strung its feed wires on the new iron trolley poles. The next day at his instigation the board of public works warned the company that these wires would have to be removed. The company replied that the wires had only been placed temporarily and that they would be placed permanently on North A street. The city attorney stated that yesterday he noticed the company was placing fuses to protect the feed wires, and it looked to him as though the company had no intention to remove them. Mr. Study stated that he believed the company had lied when it stated its feed wires on Main street were only temporaryMayor Schillinger confirmed this theory when he stated that the day after the wires had been placed Superintendent Gordon told him that they would be placed on Main street only for the time being, but that a few days ago when the mayor asked him if the company did not intend to keep its feed wires on Main street permanently, Mr. Gordon replied, "most assuredly." Council will insist on the removal of these wires as one of Its principal reasons for passing the Main street pole ordinance was to lessen the fire risk on
Main street.

A MANSFIELD FAILURE.
WELL KNOWN HERE. Mrs. Frank Fait Die In Indianap- . olis. Mrs. Frank Fait died yesterday at her home in Indianapolis. She "was formerly Miss Laura McManus of this city and was well known here.
When the Famous Actor Fainted of Hunger In London. Mansfield was taken to the Savage club, where his cleverness was attested by the leading entertainers of London. When Corney Grain was taken sick In the spring of 1877, Mansfield was at once recommended as his substitute In the German Reed entertainments. He was to receive 3 a week. This was a splendid salary for any young man as salaries went then or as they stand now on the London stage. To Mansfield It was a positive windfall. As a member of this distinguished little coterie of entertainers Mansfield felt that his fortune was made. His whole interest, attention and hope now centered on April 20, the night of his debut. He was assigned the small role of the beadle in the comedietta "Charity Begins at Home," which opened the evening. After that he was to change to evening dress and hold the stage alone for half an hour after the manner established by Corney Grain. Every shilling he could scrape together went for a wardrobe, linen, boots, cravat, a boutonniere and other Irreproachable appurtenances. His friends crowded St. George's hall for his first appearance. It was observed as he uttered the few lines of the beadle that he was excessively
nervous. When later In the evening
he sat down at the piano and struck a preliminary chord he fainted dead away. Mr. Reed relieved him of his position at once. In discharging him he said, "You are the most nervous man I have ever seen." It was not all nervousness, however. Mansfield had not eaten for three days. He had fainted from hunger. It was many a year before he again worked up to the munificence of S a week, but this pathetic Incident was later made an asset as employed by him In an attractive little comedy of

it is worth remembering that the painting should be done in the dark or in a red light such 'as Is used In photogra phy. If this Is done and the painted por

Soiste Are Experts In "Snow and Ice Work," Some In "Rock Work." Some of the Alpine guides are ex perts in climbing. There are a nam ber who are noted for their skill in what the Alpinist calls "snow and Ice work." That means going up a peak which has so many snow fields and glaciers that Its sides and summits may be nearly covered with them. The glacier guide can tell you all about "cornices" snow masses which project from the edge of precipices
and overhang the valley beneath like the roof of a house. Experience has
told him whether a cornice can be rrossed safely or whether it may break off if one ventures upon it. He
is also an expert with the ice ax carried in his belt, cutting footholds in the glittering walls that may rise fifty or a hundred feet above your head.
These ice precipices are frequently found at the heads of rglaciers, which, as the schoolboy knows, are merely rivers of frozen water slowly moving down the face of a mountain on ac
count of the force of gravity and the
great pressure of the ice masses
which form their source on the upper part of the slope. Other guides make
a speciality of "rock work," conduct
ing persons up peaks which may be
only partly covered with snow and ice,
but having sides of bare rock so steep that in places the cliffs may be almost straight up and down. Here it would seem that one must be as spry and as sure footed as the chamois the rsrre
goat that lives up amid the Alps,
While the crevasse and other dangers of the snow and ice fields may be absent, the mountain may be so abrupt
that the climber must ascend hun
dreds of feet pulling himself up with arms aiding his legs, while often the
guide hauls him to the top of the
most difficult slopes by main strength St. Nicholas.

COMPOUND EYES.
Insects That Can See Thousands of
Ways at Once.
We can see the single eyes of some insects without a lens, as in the locust.
In viewing the house fly we need a
lens. The big. visible, bulging eyes we
see are composed of thousands of unit cone shaped eyes bound into one com pound eye, each of more or less spher
leal shape. Under a lens they look like
glass eyed pavement bent to convexi
ty. Their faceted corneae are variously set in square, hexagonal or prismat
ic frames. Each glistening facet is the
corneae lens of a distinct self werklng eye. Their number in each compound
eye Is enormous.
There are fifty such eyelets In the ant, 1,400 are allowed the drone bee

Their appearance in his car called for another "Go to the devil. Didn't I say I had nothing to say?" snorted the speaker, wrathfully. "Any damn fool knows that I am speaking in this state to try to help carry it for the republican party."
"Are you going to support Colonel Kerens for the senate?" he was asked. "Well, that's a d d " The rest of the sentence was lost as the train pulled out, leaving a blue streak, while Uncle Joe was still nursing his wrath in a corner of the car.
