Origin of .Mr. - and "nIrs."

The history of those everyday titles oil
Mr.. and Mrs, which are now the common
property OF every one, is not without in-
terest, though In some of It's steps 1t is a
little obscure.
In the earlier times of our history the
ordinary man was simply William
or John; that is to say, he had merely a
Christian name, without any kind OF

Some means of distinguishing one
John or one William from another John
or another William became necessary.
|Nick-names, derived from mans trade,
or from his dwelling place, or from some
personal popularity, were tackled on to
their Christian names, and plain John be-
came John Smith. AS yet there were nc
"Misters" in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated more
wealth than the bulk of his fellows-be-

employer of hired labor. Then ne Degal

Illicit Apple Whishey.

sANDYsToN, N. j., July H.-There
is a government tax Of 80 cents a gallon
on the distiliinE Of apple whiskey.
Sussex County and the adjoining county
of Orange pay nearly 100000 to the
government every year as tax on the
whiskey which the two counties distill.
This does not prevent reputable farmers
carrying on Illicit distilling. Benjamin
Won Auken of Sussex County, wealthy
farmer prominently known throughout
the Delaware Valley, has carried on
this traffic for years, and was only found
out a few days ago. His still was dis
covered by government agents hidden
In the second story of his woodshed, /,
where, 1t seems, it was kept when not
in use. In the distillfng season it was
set up In a cove on the bank Of the Del

II is known to q considerable degree
OF certainty now that j. A. l.. Wilson,
defaulting treasurer of she Chesapeake
and Dsls ware Canal Company, invested
large snps of money through his fotlhsY
business associate, Wilmer Bedford, In
mining property in Lsadville and in
real estate speculations. This has been
brought TO the attention of President
Dillingham;, of the canal company, who
was called upon by Bedford shortly
after the defaloation became public. 1t
was asserted that Bedford had made o
voluntary statement of the amount Of
money invested and where the property
was located.
President Gillingham, who was found
by Press reporter yesterday, said: 1t
was only day after Wilson's flight
when Bedford came to see the officers of
the canal company. knew that he
and Wilson had had dealings together,
and was, OF course, anxious to question
him about them. Bat he came Of his
own accord, and told us quite long
ard full story. In brief, Bedford's 3
statement was TO the effect that he and
Wilson some years ago went into build.
ing operations In Kensington and West
Philadelphia. The real estate WAS held
by Wilson - executor for an estate and
he wished to improve the property.
While they were engaged In this opera
tion Bedford says that hard times over
took them and they sold out all the
houses and lots At loss. So far rs that
operation is concerned, therefore, there
10 nothing remaining In the hands either
of Bedford or Wilson,"
Being asked In reference to the Lead.
vile operation, Mr.. Gllipgham said
1T seems that Wilson was anxious to
retrieve his losses In the building
speculation, and Bedford opened up q
new and Alluring field for him. They
formed . partnership to secure mining
claims In the neighborhood of Lead

Wilson put about $4,000 into these
claims. did not clearly learn whether
the claims are still held by Bedford and
Wilson, but my impression Is thai
they are. OF course the canal company
co1ld seize Wilson's interest In them
but, 80 far as have been able to learn
the minor claims are not Of grea
value. At all events, their vnlue Il

think it would take great deal NOR

Professor Tainter, who is associated
with Professor Bell and DR.. Bell, inven-
tors of the graphophone, gave an exhibit
tion OF the practical workings of this
wonderful machine to few invited guests
at Washington, D. c., on Wednesday
evening. The graphopbone is built upon
the principal Of the Edison's ingenious
toy, the phonograph, but the graphophone
is to the phonogrsph what the perfected
telephone is to the speaking tube.
Imagine machine about the size of a
diminutive sausage mill having, instead
of knives, a cylinder of solid brass about
one and half inches In diameter and six
inches long, rapidly revolved by an ar
rangemeHt of cogs connected with wheel
turned by hand, like the hand attachment
of q sewing machine. Over this cylinder
is placed lightly fitting tube of paraf-
fine. An attachment with fine metal
point, to which is affixed diaphragm
and speaking tube, rests against the
polished parafllne surface. By turning
the wheel the cylinder revolves and the
metal point is drawn along its surface
cutting a groove almost imperceptible to
the eye. While the cylinder Is revolving
the operator speaks into the tube, and the
waves of sound against the diaphragm
regulate the pressure of the point against
the .parafline. When through talking
the speaking tube or transmitter is re-
placed by an instrument known as re-
lceiver, and it, being connected with the
)cylinder, reproduees the language origin
ally spoken by the operator. The words
are repeated loud enough to be heard dis
tinctly in any part of a small room. The
paraffine tubes, which cost about a
cent apiece, will take dictation of about
five minutes, speaking at any chosen rate
of speed. No only is the language re-
peated, but the tone of voice as we'll. AL
lautomatic device to turn the cylinder II
being perfected. The machine is arrang
ed SO that it can be stopped at will, any
sentence or part of sentence repeated .ant

upon the cylinder.
