CHANGE OF QUARTERS.

The Supreme Court Clerks Office Re-
moved From Post Street.
The Clerks office of the Supreme Court
has been torn up for several days in the
preliminary work of moving to the new
quarters in the building on the northwest
corner of Larkin and McAllister streets.
The labor of moving the desks and other
furniture and the thousands of records be-
gan yesterday.
1t is thought the routine work of the office
can be resumed to-day. and any one having
business with the Clerks office will do well
to remember the change from 12I Post
street, where it has been so many years.
The entire top floor is occupied, but it is
said that there is less room and fewer con-
veniences at the new quarters than at the
old.
However. 1t takes miracle to make a
smile lbreak across Frank Myers pensive
countenance, and Ben Maddox is as stold
as philosopher. The attorneys do not like
the change. finding it inconvenient to go so
far every time they want to consult records.

The Barbier Divorce sniff

In an account published to the effect that
Howard Barber had been directed to pay
his wife alimony, was a statement to the
effect that Mrs. Barbier's conduct during her
absence from this city was not exemplary,
and that this had been brought out upon the
hearing. This. it has been ascertained, was
not correct, and that nothing rejecting upon
Mrs. BARRIERS character was said, the pub

A GLASS TELEPHONE.


! A Novel Invcntlon Whose Success Seems
to lie Assured.
Mr.. Jerome Prince, OF Milford, has
lately been granted patent on a
new telephone OF his own invention.
Ills invention consists in the trans
mission OF sound by the vibration OF
glass. The new telephone consists of
diaphragm or transmitter OF simple
glass, resting on number OF glass rods,
and these communicating with an orii.
nary wire. The line in operation at Mil
ford extends from grocery on Main
street to the residence OF one OF the pro-
prietors, distance perhaps OF some
thirty rods, passing some Ave or six
sharp angles before reaching its destina-
ton. Over this wire tho ticking OF a
watch can be distinctly heard, and q
whispered conversation carried on with
no difficulty whatever. The distance
that sound can be transmitted with the
new telephone varies according to the
thickness OF the glass transmitter. The
one in consideration allows whispered
conversation throe miles, and by using
thicker glass much longer distance.
1t makes no difference how many angles
the wire takes in reaching its destina-
ton, the sound is transmitted Just as
readily. Another popularity OF the in
vention is the increased intensity of the
sound that is transmitted. Each vibra-
ton seems to gather strength and force
from the vibrations behind II, and when
the sound reaches the car OF the auditor
1t is wonderfully clear and distinct.
Tho transmission of these sounds with
out the aid of electricity would seem to
be dependent upon principles not hither-
to well understood. boston Herald.

zens are thrifty enterprising farmers.

was sorry to see it announced that
Colonel Joe Mulhattan has shaken the
dust of Kentucky of his feet to become
New Mexican. Louisville needs all
her celebrities and hates to lose any OF
them. No doubt we shall hear Of some
wonderful caves and mines and things
discovered in New Mexico. Joe Mulhat-
tan was one of the most successful drum
mers who travelled out Of Louisville, .
jealous Baptist and the most genial and
entertaining liar in the United States.
His fame spreads from sea to sea. His
first great flake" was q story about an
encounter with two highwaymen, whom
he vanquished, on . trestle near Big
Clifty, Ky. The ease with which he got
the newspapers to bite encouraged him
to greater efforts. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to recount all the marvellous yarns he
has spun since then, but probably none
of his hoaxes were more ingenious than
that about the metcoritc in Texas. Tho
story was first printed in the Fort Worth
papers and was briefly telegraphed all
over the country by the press lines. A
meteorite, the largest ever known in
scientific records, had fallen in . re-
mote Texas county, with the usual &C
compartments of noise and fire. 1t was
SO big it had completely demolished a
house and killed family of seven Tex
ans. Well. the event was SO remarkable
and unprecedented thatthe Fort Worth
newspaper Offices were besieged the
next day with kilograms from all the
leading journals Of the country asking
further particulars. Scientific societies
were excited ard sent inquiries, and
even some European scientists became
stirred up on the subject. But on care
full investigation it developed that Joe
Mulhattan was the only meteOrite who
had shot across the Texas skies that sea-
son. Joe always claimed that none of
his hoaxes ever harmed any body, but
that they gave entertainment to thous-
ands of newspaper readers.-Louisville
