A loving husband once waited on physi-

we have among us in the common walks of

The Youngest Telegraph Operator i'm the
World.

from the Waco [Texas} Examiner
The frontier telegraph Office at Williams
ranch, as stated in the Examiner some
weeks ago, is managed by Halle Hutchin-
son, little girl nine years of age. A gentle
man who returned from there a few days
since says Halle is the most remarkably in
telligent little elf he ever had the pleasure of
meeting. She handles her instrument with
the success and precision of an old operator.
Recently, when election returns were coming
in and the whole country was wildly excited
to know the result, little Halle sat at her in
strument, her eyes aglow with intelligence
and gathered in the news from all over the
union, while dozens of brawny men crowded
around to hear what the lightning brought,
and to admire the wonderful skill of the lit
tie operator. While controlling the wires as
she does, Halle is not unlike other little
girls of her age in her habits and inclina-
tions. For instance, one end of her operat-
ing table is piled full of baby dolls, and she
spends great deal of her leisure time dress
ing and nursing them. Brown county may
claim the youngest telegraph operator in the
world

A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Bradford, Pennsylvania, an
nounees that unless some other great oil
producing region is very soon brought to
light the consumers of petroleum will have
cause for anxiety. He describes the situation
as follows: The Bradford oil field is rapidly
following in the footsteps of the Oil Greek,
Butler and Clarion districts, the decline in
production being steady and rapid Oil
Greek, that at one time supplied the world
with oil, now produces less than 1000 bar
rels day, while the Butler and Clarion dis
tricts, that once put forth 10000 barrels
daily, are now known only as places where
old junk may be purchased at very low prices.
In other words, the Bradford field must now
produce the oil, and it is beyond question
that this field is now upon the downward
grade. One of the strongest indications of
this fact is found in the decline of new work
This is not caused by the inactivity of the
producers, but by the lack of available terri
tory in which to operate. AL producing ter
ritory is now in the hands of actual opera
tors, many of whom were anxious to hold
their land without drilling until next year,
when they expected much better prices,
knowing that the field was limited. But in
nearly every case these conservative opera
tors were compelled to sink wells in order to
prevent their lands from being drained
through the drilling of reckless neighbors.
The result has been that to-day they see that
they will be out of work next year for lack of
territory. In every district in the Bedford
field the indications of an immense decline
daily accumulate.

There is growing opinion among thought
full people that whipping is a proper penalty
for certain kinds of crime. The whipping
system is in operation in Delaware and works
we'll The sheriff of Newcastle writes to Mr..
Henry Bergh that whipping is part of the
penalty for burglary, larceny and petty
thefts, and that the present deputy sheriff,
who has held that position for the past twen-
ty-fve years, says, SO far as his experience
goes, it is the best and most effective law for
those crimes. The robbers of the Delaware
Bank of Wilmington, who were convicted in
the State few years ago, were more disgust
ed with, and dreaded the whipping post
more, than any other part of their sentence
and expressed themselves to that effect, say
ing s'they would never again be caught in
Delaware In some few instances an often
der has been whipped a second time but
such cases are very rare.
