gentleman, whose son, aged 20, was
included in a list of persons eligible
Tor jury duty, went to Judge Wi

said that if he was but 9 years ofage
and possessed OF the requisite intelli-
gence he would be obliged to serve.

that is a rather pretty story which
is making the rounds about Congress-
man Cheatham, the colored represen-
tative from North Carolina. It tells
that he asks for the retention in Of
fee of young democrat in his dis
trict on the ground that in the old
days of slavery he (the congressman
was given as a bridal present to the
young mans mother. If true, the
story has many morals. Not only
does it show the mag
nanimity in strong light, but it d.
rects attention to the marvellous
change of fortunes which aquarter of
o century has wrought at the south.

JUDGE KELLY DEAD.

The Father of the House Of Repre-
sentatives dies at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Special-Judge William d.
Kelley of Pennsylvania died here this even
lug. At his bedside were Mrs. Kelley; his
daughter, Mrs. F. 0. Horstman; his sons,
William D. Kelley, Jr., and A. B. Kelley;
DR.. Stanton, his attending physician; and
J. H. Weirick, his private secretary. His
death was painless, and to the watchers at
his bedside he seemed to have fallen into a
peaceful sleep. He was unconscious at the
last, as he had been at intervals during the
last two days. His remains will be buried
at Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadelphia.
The immediate cause of Judge Kelley's
death was intestinal catarrh, brought on by
q cold contracted during Christmas week.
For some years, however, he had been
almost a constant sufferer from q cancerous
growth in the side of his face, which was
removed about six years ago by a surgical
operation. The relief thus obtained was
only temporary, and since that time it has
developed so rapidly during the past year
that it must have oon conquered him had
he not earlier fallen a victim to the Ca
tarrhal affection. He was nearly seventy
six years old, and during the latter years OF
his life his general health has not been
good, so that he easily. fell a victim to the
weakening influences of disease. The
funeral services here will take place in the
hall of the house of representatives Satur-
day.
William D. Kelley was born in Phila-
delphia April IL, 1914. His grandfather,
John Kelley, served as an officer in the
Revo lutionary war. Having lost his father
at an early age he learned the printers
trade, and later served an apprenticeship
to Philadelphia and began the study Of
law, and a year later was admitted to the
bar, and while practicing his profession de-
voted much time to literary pursuits. He
was elected attorney general of Pennsyl-
vania in 1916, and in 1916 was Judge Of the
court of ommon pleas of Philadelphia.
In 1860 he was a delegate to the National
Republican convention, and in the same year
was elected to congress, where he has served
member of numerous committees of the
house, n chairman of some of the most
important, notably the committee on ways
and means. He served in the lower house
longer than any other member, and for this
reason was often called the Father of the
House." He has for many years been
known as Pig Iron Kelley" He was at
M time a free trader, but later became an
ardent protectionist, and wrote several
works in opposition to the free trade
theory. Among his works are: Reasons
for Abandoning the Theory of Free Trade
and Adopting the Principles of Protection
to American Industry" Letters on Indus
trial and Financial Questions" ard "The
New South"

CONTROL.
Failure Of the Second Attempt to
Open the Burning Mines.

Open the Burning Mines.
BUTTE, Mont, Special Telegram,
The second attempt to open the Anaconda
and st. Lawrence mines has proved abort
i've. This morning the men penetrated
about fifty feet into the 4OO-foot level, but
were unable to remain long on account OF
heat and foul air. They were there long
enough, however, to see the fire had burned
up to the 3OO-foot level at least, and
how much further is not known.
The bulkheads were replaced at 10 o'clock
this morning. and the mine again left to its
fate. This proves c%onclusively that the
effort to subdue the fire in these mines by
injecting steam into them is an utter fail
ure. The steam vaporizes with the heat
with which it is subjected before it can
reach the fire, and the released oxygen sim
ply adds fuel to the flames. Nothing re-
mains now but to food the mines. The
water is now up to the 8O0-foot level of the
Anaconda, having risen 200 feet in the six
weeks since last closed. No estimate can
be formed of the extent of the damage by
the fire, but it is hardly possible that seri-
GUS caves will soon make themselves APP
parent.

AWhale Breaks q Cable.

From the Electrical Review,
On September 9th 3 fault broke
out in the Santos-Santa Catharina
section of the Western and Brazilian
Telegraph Company's system ofca-
bles, but through which signals were
exchanged up to the moment OF cut
ting by therepairing steamer Viking.
The latter, while engaged on the re-
pair on October II, picking up to-
ward the fault 81 fathoms, and
about 20 miles north from Santa
Catharina, brought to the service a
monster dead whale, measuring about
SO feet long, intact, with the excep-
ton OF the upper part (the BELLY,
from which all the skin had been
worn or eaten away, leaving only q
small portion on the neck and tail;
the cable parted at the fault with the
strain put upon it in lifting, and the
carcass of the whale being relieved of
the downward pressure, rose like q
torpedo and inflated like a balloon, a
portion on arriving at the surface of
the water bursting and creating q
most offensive odor,so that every
one was thankful when the cable was
cut, and the obnoxious object drifted
to leeward; the tail of the whale had
two complete turns round the shank
and three Or four across the fiat or
fan part. 1t would be interesting to
know how long this creature had
been imprisoned; from the advanced
stage of decomposition it must have
been there some considerable time;
it's body was covered with barnacles,
and some even on the white part,
where the skin had disappeared. It
is worthy Of note that this cable was
laid in 1874, and with the exception
of one repair by the contractors in
1875, has never since been touched,
and is as perfect as the day it was
laid. The above by Mr.. Peters, of
the Viking, is the third instance in
which whales have broken telegraph
cables. The first occurred in the Per.
sian Gulf some fifteen years ago, and
the second on the west coast of
America, off the Peruvian coast, some
seven years since. In both cases the
whale was dead when brought to the
surface by the repairing vessel, and
was entangled in the cable. The
supposed cause is that the cables
were hung in festoons through being
laid too tightly over uneavenground,
and that the whales used them as
rubbing posts to get rid of some of
the barnacles with which there bodies
are often covered. A swish OF the
tail can easily account for the cable
being twisted around the body, and
the weight and the struggles of the
animals can easily account for the
break. We are iuclined to think the
weight ofthe dead decomposing body
is more likely to break the suspended
blight than the swimming strength of
the whale, which compared to the
longitudinal strength of a cable must
be a small matter. The regularity
of the case off the Brazilian coast
lies in the cable not being broken.
