very plainly to the fact, that there is
gross negligence, incompetence, or re-

the result of accident. There are four
mails that meet in Leesville, and these
failures occur in none but the AleXan'

case that papers are SO badly rubbed and
mutilated. that they cannot be read with
any satisfaction. I know this is some

CHARLOTTE, Mich, Nov 2s.-The telephone
invented by willard & Cheney OF Charlotte is
attracting considerable attention. lts special
superiority over all others consists In its faith
fu reproduction Of every articulate sound. II
IL. beyond question. the very best short line
talking machine" in the world. II IS us loud
and distinct as ordinary conversation. and
voices are readily recognized. The ticking Of
a watch or the tread Of a fly over the tympanum
Of the instrument can be plainly heard Il great
distance. 1t Is neither an electric" nor u
80 carbon telephone.
All are more or less familiar with the peculiar
acoustic properties Of wood, 1t Is well known
that the ticking Of a watch or the artlculate
sounds OF the voice can be distinctly heard
throughout the longest stick Of timber; but
these properties have never before been utilized
in the construction Of an acoustic telephone.
The trouble with acoustic telephones hereto
fore has been that the rcVerberation5 drowned
the artlculato sounds, or rendered them too IN
distinct for practical use. This difficulty Is
now completely overcome by the invention or
discovery OF the wooden telephone, which is
simply solid block Of wood in which cup or
funnel is turned in such "a manner that the bot
tom OF the cup forms the tympanum Of the in
strument to which the line or vocal cord s at
nched. connecting with a similar instrument
at distant Office. Tho cup gathers and mHgni-
i"s the acoustic wave, not only from the tym-
pnnum, but also from the surface OF its own
walls.
The instrument works perfectly always and
gives entire satisfaction. 1t Ia made OF ash and
walnut.

JOSEPH HEOMAN'S CLERK.

Him OF Valuable Securities.

Bank on check to which he forged his en-
ployers name. was engaged most Of yesterday
in looking for other improper transactions Of
the youth. Ho argued that one who would so
signally deceive him might have boon guilty
Of other crimes before discovered in this ono.
Ho discovered two checks. one Of Lehman
Brothers Tor 1900 and another OF 800. which had
been given in the payment Of differences. and
the proceeds OF which Whean applied to his
own use 10y forging Ycomans name.
=. Mr.. Ycoman says 1t Is singular that tho Corn
Exchange Bank, where ho keeps his account.
should have cas- he'd them. as II Is contrary to
his custom 10 have cashed any checks no re-
covcs on other banks. He always deposits
them and If lac wants cash draws his own
check for it, He Is also surprised that the bank
should pay tho forged check for $4,000. since IL
is his custom never 10 draw u check payable to
bearer when the amount exceeds few hun
dred Ho presents personally his large checks
Concerning the securities which WhelHn took
from the safe by breaking open the small inside
compartment. Mr.. Ieoman says that though
thcir face value Is nearly 1895 900. their actual
value is not more than 100000 and none Of
them are negotiable. especially after the wide
publicity that has been given to the descriptions
OF the securities. The last forgery Of Whelan

the Roy. Chambers should never again be per-
mittcd 10 ON ato in the church. And on the FOL.
lowing Sunday the pastor was locked out and
his flock worshppcd without him. This treat
mcnt OF him was repeated on the ncNt two sun
days and after that he procured. first y letter
from Bishop Payne Of the African NJ. l.. Church
supporting the pastor IN bis position, and, sec
ond. an injunction from the court. forbidding
the trustees 10 interfere with him In the per
Torrance oi his ministerial duties.
Thus matters rested until last sunday, when
