PHRENOLOGY HIT THE MARK.

Following n Professors Suggestion n Young
Man Rises Rapidly.
From the New York Star.]
That phrenology sometimes hits the mark is
shown by the following anecdote: Not many
years ago Egbert Wegman, who is the engineer
in charge of that section Of the new aqueduct
which lies between the Harlem river and the
Central Park reservoir, and to whose efforts
many valuable improvements in engineering
methods owe their existence. was clerk in
grocery store. Growing tired of this dull life,
In which he saw no future, and having no fancy
for any particular profession he determined to
visit phrenologIst, have his head examined
and follow whatever calling was suggested.
He was told that his mathematical and engi-
neering faculties were prominent, and he at
once entered upon course of study in this
branch. He applied himself most assiduously
to his work, and to-day he stands among the
foremost men of his profession.

cape last week, jumped from an elevated

they refuse to kill criminals and the deadli-

A BLIND CONCERT.

How Money VIII be Raised for the Erection
Of the New School.
In speaking of the donation Of 10 acres of
Schenley ground adjacent to the Bellefield
school in Oakland, for the institution of the
blind, of which he is the moving spirit, Rev. E.
r. Donehoo said yesterday he would see Mr..
Carnahan at once and get the details of the
donation. He stated that 1t would be but a
short time until the institution would be under
way. DR.. Campbell, the great teacher Of the
blind, will bring a number of sightless musi-
clans from his school in London to this city to
give benefit performance for the new institu-
ton. The ground is worth about 5000 per
acre, and fronts on Fifth avenue about 800 feet
from the Oakland power house.

From the Philadelphia Press.I
The wife of the American millionaire who is
suing an English newspaper for libel, for de-
claring that she was formerly washerwoman
before she married her present husband. is
certainly adopting radical means for vindicat-
ing her dignity. The substance of her accuse.
tion against the offending journal will probably
be solemn denial Of the charge:that she ever
washed.

INDIANAPoLIs, November 6-Edward Asz-

has experienced religion. He takes part in the
religious services every day. and leads the sing

throat, not yet entirely healed from the des-
perate cuts which he inflicted in his attempt to
commit suicide.
Mr.. Aszman also holds prayer meeting every
evening with the prisoners, and he appears to
have undergone great change. 1t is seldom
that he can be induced to talk of his crime, and
when he does, he expresses the deepest con-
triton.

TIE ASPHALT MINES OP UTAH.
Extensive Deposits Of a Substance Of Crest
CommercIaI VaIae.

C0mmefctni values
Salt Lake City letter to Albany Journal.l
The extensive veins Of asphalt, on the other
hand. bid fair to become Of great commercial
importance. The deposits thus far discovered
are chiefly IN the sandstone lodges along the
line of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway.
These lodges extend across the Wasatch noun
tains and eastward into Northwestern Colo
RADIO. Prof. Ne1berry thinks these deposits Of
asphalt, with which the lecges are in places
saturated, have their origin in spontaneous
distilation of the bitnminous shales Of the
Colorado group, which, in Eastern Utah, are
from 15O0 to 2500 feet thick
1t is reported that in some places the sub
stance comes to the surface in a semi-iquid
form, as in the case Of the Trinidad asphalt
lake; but that which has thus far been placed
on the market has been taken from the ledges
Of sandstone, and is called sand asphalt" Mr..
Holster, Secretary Of the Chamber of Com
merce Of this place, informs me that in this
sandstone asphalt nature has mixed the sand
stone with the asphalt, something that in gen.
eral has to be done artifcialIy-the latter beng
naturally less perfect than the former.

THE TOPICAL TALKER.

Political Goals of Fire and the Cold Wave nj
the POlIs-A New Use for the PhOno-
graph-HOw an Audience Was schOOIed.
IT isn't exactly pleasant thing to be forced
to ASK political opponent to identify you al
the polls.
At the prohibition election last June gentle.
man went to the polls in the East End to cast
his vote for the first time in that district. His
name was not on the register, and he was told
he must bring voter to identify him. He
looked about him, but there was not soul near
whom he knew, except the pastor of his church,
who had but a moment before asked him to
vote for prohibition, and to whom he had told
his intention to vote against the amendment.
1t seemed rather awkward to ask the clergy
man, but rather than lose his vote the uniden-
titled one did so.
''of course rII identify you," said the broad
gauge divine, and he helped his opponent to
swell the vote against the reform he ardently
desired.
If the enthusiasm of all the political workers
of both parties equaled that of the Sewickley
delegation yesterday very fair reason for the
cold wave has been found.

A NEW use for the phonograph has been dis
covered.
a IedCner OF languages, WHOSE dumlTdDl6 ac-
cent has brought him many pupils. resorts to
the phonograph wherever he finds it as an as
sistant tutor For instance, he will talk slowly
in Partisan French page of some good author
in that tongue into the phonograph and in
struct his pupil to read the passage aloud while
the phonograph prompts him with the proper
pronunciation. After the tutor has retired the
lesson remains intact upon the cylinder of the
phonograph ready for further use 1t can be
seen how considerable the monographs aid is
in this regard.
THE calming effect of good play well acted
upon an audience was well evidenced on Mon
day night at the Grand Opera House. It was
the noisiest, most restless audience I've seen in
that theater this season. A man with a horse
laugh broke out at unseemly moments in the
gallery; baby cried off and on in the parquet,
and everybody almost seemed inclined to chat
ter to his neighbor. A large part of the audience
at first refused to accept anything Mr.. Russell
did in pathetic way-they insisted that he was
there to be funny and laughed at all he did.
Witness the eminently pathetic episode of the
play where the starving inventor tries to rise
from his chair and his legs tremulously fail to
hold him upright. A lot of excellent folk
laughed at this.
But gradually as the wonderful power Of that
first act developed itself, and the truth of Mr..
RusselIs acting explained the pathos of his
role, the house was hushed. The man with
horse laugh forgot to operate. the crying baby
was removed and the chatterers grew silent.
When they did make a noise it was to testify
their delight and wonder at the power of play
and players.
All the rest of the play the audience was
model one in its behavior, and it even waited
till Mr.. Russell had spoken the tag" before it
made its usual clamorous rush to the door.

NEW YORK, November 6-As some work
men were crossing the Erie railroad track a
short distance above Woodside yesterday they
saw two big black snakes summing themselves
on the ties Both reptiles were asleep, and the
ugly head of one of them almost touched the
rail. The other was coiled foot away and
close to hole between the ties. AS the men
saw them train from Jersey City came sweep
ing along. Neither snake moved until the To-
connective was within five feet of them. Then
the one that was nearest to the hole glided out
of sight, but its mate. dazed, apparently by the
tried to cross the rail, and was cut into two
nearly equal parts.
The train had hardly passed ON when the
snake that had escaped came back to look for
its companion. 1t examined both sections of
the body, and seemed to be in doubt as to
which was the portion 1t wanted. Before it
could make up its mind one Of the men
killed it with his shovel.
