Champion Telegraph operators.

Washington Cor. Boston Traveller
The fastest sender in this country is Mr..
T. v. DeGraw Some years ago n congress
sionai committe, went over TO New York
and examined the offices Of the Western
Union. The member were taken in
charge by Mr.. Walter p. Phillips, who is
now general manager of the United Press
Association, and who is recognized rs the
fastest receiver in the business. Mr.. Phil
lips sat dow at the "clicker' and te~legraphed
Mr.. DeGraw to give an exhibition OF his fast
sending for ten minutes. C~hronometers
were taken out and Mr.. DeGraw began. At
the expiration of the ten minute he had tele-
graphed 400 words, an average of forty-nine
words in a minute. This is the best record
yet made in this country.
Mr.. De Graw has charge of the work at
the capitol for the United Press association,
and occasionally goes to the wire and Sends
so fast that the receiver has no difficulty ia
knowing who it is in Washington that is rat
thing the saunders with such rapidity. Some
time ago, Mr.. Phillips made a bet with an
operator in New York that he could tele-
graph an editorial at tho rate OF forty words
a minute for ten consecutive minutes.
Now Phillips is recognized as the fastest re-
ceiver in the United States, but since his
attack Of partial paralysis of the right arm,
occasioned by overwork, he is regarded as a
slow SENDER" The New York operator
snapped up the bet in II hurry, but Mr..
Phillips accomplished the feat with ease.
The secret leaked out after a while that Phil
lips had written the editorial, and the pecu-
liartty of it was that it did not contain a
word Of more than nine letters. Mr.. James,
of the Associated Press, sends the most per-
feet Morse of any man in the country, and
there are n number Of others who are noted
as telegraphers, but those | nave mentioned
are known all over the Union.

#....|N- .H
HALF a century ago, marriage with a
deceased wife's sister vas permitted in
England, as it has been in all other coun-
tries from the earliest times, and it is o
conceded by the opponent of the bill,
which has just passed the House of Com
mons, by a majority of 100, that there is
no s%criptural prohibition of such ALI
anccs. Queen Victoria heartily favors
the bill, as the proposed marriage between
the Princess Beatrice and Duke Louis of
Hesse, hinges upon its passage in the
House of Lords. The Duke has officially
declared an end to his morganatic mar
rage, 50 that the passage of the bill is
the only thing which now prevents his
marriage with the English Princess,
whose sister had been his former wife.

JOHN sPLAA.s EXPERIENCE.
The Driver of Rarus Tells How Ho
Made His Beginning.
tChicago Tribune.

lShlliko ia
As an entertaining conversationalist Splan
has no superior. He can reel Off interesting
stories by the yard, and keep All interesting
circle of auditors around him for hours at q
time. He never smokes, never took a drink
of wine or liquor in his life. and says that a
good nights sleep is the best preparation for
driving a race. He is Il perfectly fearless
reinsman, and in the excitement OF a holly
contested heat will endanger his life without
athought rs to the consequences. No matter
what the circumstances may be, he is never
alta loss for an answer to any question TINT
may be put him. His story Of how he grad
uated from the position of rubber" to that
of drive is worth repeating. Il was
rubbing horses for Dan Mace" said
Splan- "And one day an old gentleman
who had taken a great deal of interest in me
came along. Why don't you get a horse,
Johnny he said, and be n driver yourseiff
81 explained to him that it was almost i'm.
possible for a boy who had no influential
friends to obtain possession of a ~trotter. Il
have got two.' he said, my favorite team,
Twang and Sting, and if you like will let
you ira in them.' OF course / accepted his
proposition eagerly and lay awake half that
night thinking over my good luck. The next
morning the horses were sent to the track,
and, boylike, L wanted to begin operations
on them at once. So l harnessed Sting up to
u sulRy that l borrowed for the occasion from
one Of the trainers, and while this was being
done took Twang out in the field inside the
trnck and turned him out to grass, tying
him by a long rope to a strong stake which 1
drove into the ground. Then / went back
and began driving Sting. l warmed the old
horse up pretty well and then started to drive
him a full mile.
We got along very nicely until we came to
the place where Twang was nibbling grass.
The old horse saw his mate coming ut n very
unusual rate of speed, and as we neared him
he gave a loud whinny and started in hot
pursuit When he had galloped the length
of the rope that held him there was q sudden
stop. The stake 10 which tho rope WINS tied
held its own, and the result was that Twang
turned a double somerset and broke his neck.
Unconscious Of the destruction that was go
ing on behind me, / drove Sting down the
homcstretch at his best rate of speed. After
completing the mile and stopping the horse ]
found that the unusual exercise Ind made
him dead lame, and from the way in which
he limped it seemed highly probable to mo
that he would never recover. While bar
moaning this fnct a small boy who had wit
messed the catastrophe to Twang came up
and informed me OF it. The next morning
the old gentleman who took so much interest
in me and who regarded me as a bright and
promising boy came out to the track. He
buried Twang, led Sting limping home be-
hind his buggy, and my career as a driver
began and ended in one day,n

moved 10 the cemetery The ceremony
at the grave was brief A hymn was read
by Mr., Sanders, the coffin was lowered to

The late Wendell Phillips. just before the

as illustrative Of goodness and integrity, to

recalling his words, he said; II will not use
the name OF Washington, for the father OF

A DOCTORS SHOCKING STORY.

The Chicago Times declares that a
we'll known physician. OF that city,
found the body of friend On a dis
secting table in the Hahnemann
College six years ago, and, although
he has continued to attend the fam.
lily ever eince, never disclosed the
facts. In the meantime the family
of the deceased continued paying in
surapce premiums on policy Of
$4,000, on the supposition that he
was still alive. In the published ac>
counts of an interview, the doctor
say that bis deceased friend was
addicted to drink, and probably
died on the street from exposure,
the body finding it's way to the
Morgus. He states, in explanation,
that he was shocked on discovering
the body, and intended informing
the family; but, he said, Gas the
boys needed subject, let them go
along with the work." He also de-
ciares that it might have been a
case OF mistaken identity, which idea
sustained him in keeping the mat
ter secret.
