A NEW TELEPHONE.

A New York dispatch says: L. ).
Baldwin of San Francisco has come 70
New York on a mission which Is certain
to bring him wider fame than he no"
enjoys. His companion IS James a
Christy, for an average lifetime haruy
miner, now, at the age OF II, the IN
ventor of a telephone which, ne de-
clares, is bound absolutely to dlspiace
all now in existence. Mr. oHrls't mas
for sixteen years given constant atten-
ton to the study of sound. For thlr1y-
six months he has been developing ms
idea Of the telephone, and now mas the
instrument so perfect that the falntesi
whisper or the slightest rustic OF W!nd
can be transmitted thousands of miles
without loss of its least vibration. Inc
patents for this wonderful instrument
are practically all secured, and a few
days will see the last bearing the GOV
ernment's seal. Then the work OF
manufacture and putting to use VIII
begin. Baldwin is Christy's hacker
He is ready with his millions to put the
inventor on the pinnacle OF fame.
Mr.. Christy was seen tonight at the
Hoffman House. He did not know
definitely what Mr.. Baldwin's plans
were. But he knew that the company
would be organized with the wealthiest
men of this country, probably Including
Jay Gould, John w Mackay, j. B. Hig-
gin, with Baldwin himself at the head
In Chicago, while on his way to New
York, Mr.. Christy says he told few rich
men what his telephone could do. and
was promptly offered 100000 for 1t. lie
declined the offer, as Mr.. Baldwin re-
minded him that millions were at hli
command.
Asked as to the expense to customer
using the telephone, Mr.. Christy said ht
would simply drop nickel in a box
foot square attached to the wall, make
his own connection with the person O.
Office he desired to reach and talk unit
he was tired. No central office woult
have to be rung up and there would bs
no swearing at girls at the switchboard
because someone else was in the way
It is this central switchboard, which
Mr.. Christy has also invented and pat
ented, that helps to make this instru
ment SO practical.
Mr.. Christy does not fear litigation, al
his invention is so distinct from any
thing else of the kind that there can bt
no claim of infringement. The neV
telephone has been patented in advanc
in all countries of the old world wher
patents are granted.

The Passion Fruit.

The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following: "The steamer Mariposa, on
her last trip, brought shipment of fruit
OF a variety seldom seen in this city. 1t
was several boxes of Passion fruit, or the
edible product of one variety of the we'll
known Passion vine. The fruit came
from Sydney, but the lengthy passage
proved too much for it, and it arrived in
bad order. This fruit is shaped very
much like plum, and the skin is tough
and of purple color: There is also a
thick rind, the outside next the skin
being purple and the inside layer being
white. The fruit is filled with seeds
which are covered with a yellowish
translucent pulp, and resemble very
much the seeds OF the pomegranate in
all but the color. They have a very
agreeable odor and flavor, and the fruit
is highly esteemed by those who have
had an opportunity of eating it fresh from
the vines -

Mecheri, ''that may all come in time. The
signora wished me to see you and Cola and

Brigitta laughed a little vaguely again.
"You must come and see Cola" she said.
"You will not be such imbeciles as to re-
fuse?'' sale the Maestro.
"What ono has, one has, she answered,
"and one cannot be sure Of what his voice
will be when he is a young man. But as
she will give something to make up to us
for losing his work now, l do not think

from Paradise to interpose the sacred pro-
lection between the victim and impending
death. Each one had been given in COM
memoration and gratitude. They were
simple and primitive beyond description,
but the faith they showed was Il touching
thing.
"Only," the girls friend used to say to
her, II should like to know who the artist
is who does them. They are so wonderful.
Perhaps there Is an artist among the peas
ants in the Citta Vecchia who does them
all and il quite celebrated in his way"
During the last days the WI friends
spent in San Reno they went two or three
times to tho old city.
One beautiful afternoon they turned into
the climbing streets after leaving their
favorite flower shop, loaded with white mar
cissus and hyaeinths, gold-yellow daffodils
and scarlet and pink anemones.
They climbed to Brigitta's house and ur
her little dark stone stairway to pay her a
visit.
Brigitta looked with open curiosity ut the
s%ignora, whose mass of flowers looked 40
bright against her black dress and pale
face.
But there was nothing eccentric or curl
GUS about her. She was very quiet and
civil and had a low voice and eyes which
seemed to have wept II great deal.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-11-08

"She has wept for the boy who is in para
| disc" Brigitta thought. 'Poverina! But
he is better there after although it ID
true he was a signorine."
The visit was not q long one. 1t was all
settled about Giovanni by this time. Cola
had given his consent, and the rest had
been easily arranged. The forestieri, it
seemed, did not hesitate abou parting with
| their money when they had decided to do
so. Giovanni had the chance to be a singer
if he chose to work and his voice turned out
! we'll.
Among other things the signora had given
! Brigitta a new dress and bright head hand

! derful, and the dress was one that would
last for years.
But when Giovanni is a great TENOR"
said the %signora, smiling, "you will have
more dresses than one"
Briggitti smiled also, good-humoredly.
''Thut is a long time to o forward to-
she said. who knows what will happen"
II hope what happens will make you both
happy" the signora said.
''Giovanni," said Brigitti, h will of
I course be happy if he becomes well-to-do,
I and for the matter of that, SO shall l."
She was standing near the window when
she said this, and she locked out and
shrugged her shoulders pityingly.
"Ah! there goes one who IS not happy"
she said; 81. is that poor Lisa whose boy
died."
poor woman!' exclaimed the %signora,
drawing near; when did she lose him?"
"Only two weeks ago." Brigitta answered.
"And it seems as if she would 20 after him.
He used to sing, too, like Giovanni, and he
lost his voice and caught cold and fell i'll
and coughed himself to death. Before he
was too i'll to leave his bed he used to drag
himself to the terrace below the
church, and SIT on the low wall
and stare down into the olive vineyards
and over the sea to tho point where one
can sec the other church, the Madonna

his voice was gone. 1t seemed as il he did

the signora must be rich, but she seems to
have queer ideas; she did not explain them
much to me, but / gathered some of her
fancies from some few things she said. 1t

continue only in paradise. She has q
strange wish that he should seem still to
live on earth and do things for other boys.
It is singular, but it is n good thing for
Giouanni. She came to SEQ me about him"
Brigitti made a gesture OF amazement.
Her eyes had been wide open before, now
her mouth opened.
"Yes," continued tho maestro, scratching
his crizzled, curling poll, ''she has q wish
that this boy of hers-who is in paradise
should help Giovanni. She did not shy it

of a peasant" He knew that Brigitta was
a peasant, and quite a common and ordi-
nary one, and he who was a professional
person connected with the theater did not
shrink from speaking his mind to her.
ut is a good thing for Giovanni, and her
plans are sensible in spite of her fancies.
She says that he has a voice which might
bring him fame and fortune, If he does
not strain it by singing too long. and ii it
is trained afterward. She says that out of
the fortune of her son she will pay YOU q
sum which will make it possible for you and
Cola to afford to let him stop singing in the
street, and he will go to school for u year
or 30, until his voice ia changed. l am to

looked at her with a superior scrutiny.

woman should not understand all this
might mean.

They knew the fountains where water was
drawn and the big one where the women
stood around the square stone basin and
washed their clothes, talking and laughing
together. They knew the white church at
the top of the highest point, the Mad onna
della Costa, where the peasants went to
mass and where there were SO many queer
votive pictures small, violently colored
and strangely designed things represent
ing the scene of some catastrophe
from which the victim had been rescued
by some patron saint. These were always
interesting to examine, as each one told its
story. There we're pictures of storms at
sea, with fisher boats apparently about to
be engulfed; there were pictures of run
away horses on the point of dashing some
one to pieces, there were others of light
ming striking, of sufferers from dangerous
illness. from casualties of all kinds, and
! generally in some corner was depicted the
figure of the saint or Madonna descending

CHAPTER vi.

When they found themselves out in the
street a little later it was as if ~involuntarily
they turned to the step which led to the
Church of Madonna della Costa. just be-
low the inclined paved steps leading to it
was the terrace with the low wall
against which one could lean and
look down the almost preoipitous hillside
on to the olive vineyards and the shallow
stream. by turning ones gaze to the right
one swept across olives and villas and
plains to the curve of the shore from which
road the hill where the white little church
of Madonna della Guardia kept watch over
the blue sea and those who braved its dan
gers, if there could ever Turk dangers in the
softly ripping lake-like calm.
1t was u lovely point to look out from,
this low wall high up in the ''old CITY,"
which was SO tiny that il was more like n
town, though it was always called the
'Citta Vecchia."
AS the friends drew near this point they
saw the figure of a peasant woman leaning
with arms folded on the grassy stone ledge
before her. She was not only poorly, but
carelesslv dressed. One imagined that she
had felt that it was Of no consequence TO

He would have sung before the king--it
could not have been otherwise. 1t was a
great misfortune for him."
You mean the eon of Lisa?" said Brig
itta. HE died last night, and she is III

Maestro Mecherl's look Of regret took on
n sudden spasmodio deepening.

HE has been dying for months" said
Brigitta, 'but she would not believe it.

a good crop, but the olives are small. There
has not been enough rain" ""l .
"That is true..'' answered Maestro Me
cheri. "We have needed rain for many
weeks, l have come to talk with you about
Giovanni"
"Has anything zone wrong with him?''
she asked.
NO. said Maestro Mecheri. "he has
good luck. that raRazzo. He has a fine
voice, and is strong and not troubled with
ideas. And he is good-looking. Often l
believe money is given as much to his
merry eyes and white teeth as to his sing
ing. The forestieri like his cheerful, hand
some face. 1t is good luck to be born
looking like that. 1t has possibly made his
fortune for him."
I'm what way, Santa Mariar!' exclaimed
Brigitta.
THE foresticri have ways of their own"
said the maestro. ''There are two siGnoras
who have heard him sing md have taken a
fancy to him."
Eyes" Brigitta interrupted. "they sent
the concierge of their hotel to tell him to
come to Their salon the other day. Giovanni
told me about it. 1t WAS all hung with old
brocades and pictures and fans such as one
sees in the shop for antiquities, and it was
filled with flowers, and there were many
pictures of a boy who is dead. His mother
was the one who sent the concierge to Clio
