MISSING MAIL POUCH.
Mysterious Disappearance of n Bag of
Valuable Letters.

Mysterious Disappearance of a Bag OF
Valuable Letters.
CINCINNATI, June 20.-There was con-
siderable excitement among the chiefs OF
the various departments at the postofice
yesterday morning, when it was discovered
that one Of the mail pouches was missing.
The pouch should have arrived in the early
mail. and the interest in its whereabouts
was materially increased by the fact that it
was intended for the Registry division.
This indicated that it contained valuable
letters, and made the search all the more
close and care ul.
Superintendent Paxton. the head of the
Registry Division, had conference with
Postmaster Riley. The postoffice was thor
oughly searched, but without success In
quirv among the railway clerks failed to
develop any information regarding the miss
ing pouch, and the matter late yesterday
afternoon was placed in the hands OF the In
spector. The postoffice authorities are nat
uralIv very reticent about the matter, and
decline to give any details. They would
only say that they had been notified of the
expected arrival of the pouch, but for some
reason it had failed to come at the proper
time. The delay might be explained, but
as a matter of precaution the Secret Service
Department had been requested to investi-
gate.

THE PH0N0GRAPH MAN
AS MUCH OF A HOTEL FIXTURE AS THE
SLOT MACHINE.

Ten Cents for n Talk That is Reproduced by
Edison's Ingenious Apparatus New
Method of Dictution Fast Succeeding
the Old.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPAroH.I
CHICAGO, June 20.-Beside the type
writer and the nickel-in-the-slot weighing
machine, and the nickel-in-the-slot candy
machine in the rotundas of Chicago's prin-
cipsl hotels may be found the Edison phono-
graph man. He stands in front of an ap-
paratus that looks for all the world like a
sewing machine and urges you to take
seat in a rush bottomed chair
by his side and put the two ends of
bIfurcated piece of rubber tubing into
your ears and listen to the Pittsburg band.
You take him at his word, and having paid
10 cents watch the slow grinding of the
machine to see what's going to come OF it.
Presently the needle gets into the right
track on the cylinder and you hear the
sweet strains of "My Old Kentucky Home, !"
varied with the hum and clatter Of
passing voices, for the piece was taken on
Wednesday night as the band played in the
rotunda. Then the McKeesport Electric
Band is announced and you listen to its
performance with vastly greater salts action,
recorded for all time is not cracked as was
the case with one band cylinder.
The photograph man says he is rea2ing
rich harvest He stands as the advance
guard of any army of pbonograph operators
who, before many more years have passed,
will swarm in every city and town and DIS
pute the place of the pretty girl typewriter
with the cherry lips and white apron.
All the largest stenographic firms
in Chicago have one or more talk
ing machines" in their offices. The man
who has taken notes no longer dictates them
direct to his typewriter or transcribes them
himself. He talks them at lightning speed
on to one OF Edison's cylinders-as you pass
his door you imagine that somebody has
broken loose from Jefferson or Kankakee-
and the typewriter takes the cylinder, and
by reducing the rate of speed, puts
the matter into folios at her ieisrre..
Some firms distribute their cylinders at the
offices and homes of Chicago business men,
call for them daily and transcribe the let
ters or sermon, or briefs or contract, which
they talk off when put into the machine.
Still the use of these handy little contriv-
ances is far from being general.

MAYwoRTH BREAKS JAIL

The Counterfeiter Escapes from the Dayton
BasIiIr, Where He Was Confined.
CINCINNATI, June 2O.-A telegram from
Dayton to police headquarters stated that

ago on a IL months sentence for passing
counterfeit money, had escaped from the
Dayton Jail. The escape was on the 11th
instant. Mayworth was allowed the priv

1t is supposed that he left in the company
of Charles Griffith, who had completed that
day 60-day sentence for some violation Of
the postal law, and was discharged. Sheriff
Snyder, of Dayton, and his assistants have
been keeping quiet as to the escape, but in

Sure of Both.

All our zeal is to make
ready-made clothing too good
to be copied.
Shut the eye to quality to
get a cheap price, is clothing
wit upside down.
1t isn't smart or wise to
make clothing mean. We i'm
prove our goods, and improve
and improve. Our goal is al
ways a little in advance.
Mean clothing runs its little
race and tumbles in the dust
before it gets to the end of
it. Reliable clothing takes its
steps in advance safely.
We make nothing but re-
liable clothing. We make the
substantial sort: we make the
fine. You get the sort that
suits your need. You shut
your eye to the price till you
get the quality you want. So
do we. We make sure the fine
is fine: the strong strong.
Do you think we know our
business SO poorly that we ex-
pect you to pay us stiff prices2
We are just in qualities. Just
as just in our low prices.

WATER GAS AS A FUEL.
Chicago Man Talking of Locating
Plant In PitIsburg.

T. G. Springer. of Chicago, is at the
Monongahela House He is manufacturer
of water gas for Illuminating purposes, and
is looking around Pittsburg with view to
building plant here.
Mr. Springer said that when carburetted
with crude petroleum the gas is a good heat
producer, and the cost is comparatively low.
He didn't believe, however, it would be
cheaper than natural gas. In Chicago, he
said, they used about 100000 cubic feet
per day.

The heroine is a young American girl OF
Scotch descent. who has travelled much and who
has a charming simplicity and independence Of
character.
The story is full of interest and the move
ment is steady and continuous. The perusal Of
the opening chapters gives promise Of some
surprising situations in the near future. The
hero is young fellow of means. with brilliant
prospects in the political world; his father is
millionaire with socialistic theories.
The love story which the author has to tell Is
of most original kind, and requires for its
elaboration several interesting personages, in
cludlng family of Americans and several
fashionable nota5ilities in London.
The political characters introduced can al
most be recognized as counterparts of people
now living. We have copious references In the
mouth of an old Scotch poet to the claims Of
Scotland in song and story. and as a back
ground we have fashionable life in Mayfair at
Henley and Brighton. labor and cooperative
congresses in various parts of the country, and

Mr. WILLIAM BLACK, the author Of "a
Princess of Thule, I" "Sunrise," etc., was born q
little short of so years ago, in Glasgow. HIS
youthful ambition was to become an artist, but
eventually he drifted into journalism, of which
he may still be considered distinguished and
successful representative. He located himself
in London in 1864. As a newspaper representa-
tive he went through the Prussia-AusIrian War
of 1866. I'm Silk Attire" produced in 1869,
dealt with peasant life in the Black Forest. Kill
meny, "'The Monarch of Mincing Lane" and "a
Daughter of eth, +" followed in the order named
and ran through many editions. Next came
THE Strange Adventures of Phaeton, (which
literally described a driving excursion the
author made from london to Edinburgh, with
a thread of fiction interviewer. 1t is said that
a good many people. Americans chiefly. have
adopted this plan of exploring the English
counties, and have taken these ':AdVentures'
as a sort of guide book. A glance through the

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.1
CRESSoN SPRINGS, September 10.-The
President had a rather dull time of it to-
day, his only recreation being short drive
in the forenoon and three-mile walk along
the mountain roads in the afternoon. His
niece, Mrs Dimmick, was his sole CON-
panion on both trips. Mrs. Harrison and
Mrs. Mckee are on the sick list. Both are
suffering from the depressing effect of the
weather, it having rained almost continu-
ously for the past three days. Neither of
them, however, is seriously Ill. and both are
expected TO be all right in a few days.
Private Secretary Halford has notified the
Grand Army posts at Altoona and Tyrone in
response to their request to be allowed to pay
their respects to the Chief Magistrate, that the
President will receive them on Saturday next.
A bulletin was received here this afternoon
announcing the action of the Repub blican Con-
yention at Indianapolis indorslng the Presi-
dents administration, and he made no attempt
TO conceal his qualification. The President
will probably make q visit to Johnstown or
some other interesting point IN this neighbor-
mood. 1he arrangements are in the hands of
Mr. George W. Boyd, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, who will arrive tomorrow night.
Colonel William A. Stone, the Republican
nominee for the Twenty-third Pennsylvania
Congressional District, registered this morning
at the Mountain House. 1t is supposed he
came up 10 CreSSon TO call on the President,
but as His EXcellency was out driving on the
summit with Mrs. Dimmick the Colonel was
unable to see him. and retired to his room
where he remained until dinner time.
Cresson is filled with the friends of George
ShIras, and IN the present bitter feeling toward
Stone the comments about him are not compli-
mentary. As the father of Shiras is here
Stone is charged witE displaying bad taste by
coming to Cresson.
The President has been under the care of
Dr. Devereaux, the Mountain House physician
during the past two days. and last night
another occupant of the Park Cottage was
added to the doctors list of patients Little
