GEORGETOWN, April 10.--The Board
Of Trade Of this town held its regular
monthly meeting last night. A resolu-
ton was adopted for the committee on
transportation TO have meeting at once
and take action on some means 10 secure
some advantages 10 the people of this
state through the Legislature MS the
matter of the railroad company pur.
chasing tho junction Il Bleakwater
mortgages. That as the railroad com
pany in making its proposition 10 buy
the mortgage is asking the State 10 give
il $l55,00O in the next 40 years, il is felt
that the people Of this State should ask
something in return. The Board of
Trade asks the boards Of trade Of other
towns 10 take similar action in this
matter.

Now telegraph Machine.

A new telegraph machine has been IN
vented by Herr Jaite, director of tele-
graphs in Berlin. The apparatus con-
tains two electro magnets, the one
worked by positive and the other by
negative current. These set in motion
a perforator, whereby holes are punched
in tape The holes, instead of consist
ing of mere dots and dashes, as in the
Morse system, are SO arranged that on
joining them with lines the letters of
the Roman alphabet are formed. The
chief merit of the machine is said to lie
in the extraordinary ease with which it
can be worked. 1t is stated that at a
recent trial between the Berlin and Ham
burg Stock Exchanges, a distance Of
nearly 200 miles, it was found possible
to send from sixty-five to eighty five
messages per hour, or from twenty-five
to thirty-five words per minute.

Speaking of dramatic tuition recalls a
circumstance communicated to me by a
prominent dramatic teacher, who shall
be nameleSS
The dramatic teacher says that one
day he was visited by a man of about 30,
who looked suspiciously like preacher
In view of this suspicion the instructor
was at loss to account for the visit un
til the visitor spoke and announced, to
begin with, that he was an Episcopalian
rector.
81 have come to you," said the rector,
"not merely for lessons in elocution.
have already received some instruction
of that kind at college. What 1 want is
something more in the way of dramatic
instruction, don't you know. l realize
that even in reading the service, to say
nothing of preaching, a knowledge of
the dramatic art might be of inciIlcula-
BILE advantage to me. If l am to impre IS
my hearers, every art that aids me to
that end is desirable. 1 know that it is
an artistic mistake to assume that mere
feeling is in itself sufficient to commun

''And so,'' said the dramatic teacher,

rather curious when it came to the pray
ers. But must confess though 1 say

dering of the service was immensely
more impressive after he got through
with the lessons than it had been before
he began, and that his theory of the
ihing seems correct enough to me. I"

JAMES BOYS STYLE.
Train Robbers Make a Bi!
Haul Near st. Louis.
THEY GET AWAY WITH $40, 600
Express Gar Door Forced Open By al E..
plosion of Dynamite

The Trainmen Surrendered in Short Order
at the Pointsu of Revolvers - Expires,
Messenger Badly Hurt-The Robber,
Believed to Be the Same Who Operated
Near Omaha Last Month.
ST. LOUIS Mo-, Dec. 2.-The robbery
of the Adams Express Company ca.
on the St. Louis and San Fran cisc4
Railroad Monday night was one of tina
boldest affairs of the kind on record, and
recalls the feats of the James boys. Tht
express company is out about $50, 900.
The officials say that the messenger is
laid up at Springfield, Mo-, unable to
move on account of his wounds, and the
robbers have apparently dropped into
the earth, for not the slightest clue has
been obtained
The train, which was the through
California express, left the Union depot
at 9 clock. At Old Orchard, a su-
burban village just outside the city linn
it's, four men boarded the train, two
climbing on to the front end of the
postal and baggage cars. The two on
the front climbed over, the water tank
and tender and presented revolvers at
the heads of the engineer and fireman.
They ordered the train stopped about
bridge at Glendale, where they were
met by the other two robbers.
After the train was stopped the four
robbers were joined by two more, who
had been waiting at the side of the
track. Then the indiscriminate firing
began. AT the same time demand was
made on Messenger j. 7. Mulrenan to
open the door. He refused, and with
out further parley the robbers placed a
| dynamite cartridge in a crevlce of the
| door or under it and touched the fuse.
| The east end of the car was blown off
| and Mulrenau SURRENDERED Mulrenan
was badly injured by the explosion.
After emptying the safe and taking
| the messengers gold watch the robbers
quickly departed. The express company
! has a large force of men on the case
! but so far no clue has been found. The
loss is estimated at 800, 900, but it may
| be great deal more.

Balfour on Irish SeIf-Govern lent.

LONDON, Dec. 2.-The Right Hon. A.
j. Balfour, the Conservative leader Of
the House of Commons, addressing
meeting yesterday, at Hudderstield, of
Conservatives, said that all parties
agree that it was the duty of the gov
eminent to give local self-governmenJ to
Ireland, if it could safely be done. "
"But," Mr.. Balfour added, "unless we
are able to found such bill on the
broad basis adopted in Great Britain, or
if such a measure should be a menace or
cause for alarm to the smallest minority
in Ireland, we had better leave it alone.
My own belief is that it is possible to
fulfill all The necessary conditions"

ANOTHER novel enterprise in stock
raising is to be added to the ostrich
farm, the black cat ranch and the
chicken ranches OF the Pacific coast. A
Mr. Newbury of California is enthusiast
tic over project he is about to carry
out of starting an elephant ranch in
that state. He proposes to cultivate
the elephant for its meat and its capa-
city for hard work. He says that las
an article of food the elephant is SUI
perior to the horse" and most people
will be willing to accept his statement,
though not fully approaching its force.
He says that behind tough exterior it
hides a tender steak, and that African
explorers are profuse in their praise of
elephant outlets. A full grown ele-
plant weighs about 1000 pounds, and
Mr. Newbury counts 5000 of this as
good meat. He is going to train the
elephants to pick oranges and hire them
out to orange growers.

Indiana Owes Ohio Land.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2.--The re-
port of T. c. Mendenthall, Chef of the
United States Geodetc and Coast Sur
vey, concerning the Indiana Ohio bound
airy line, was made to Gov. Chase yes
terday. Ohio has disputed the correct
ness of the Indiana line, claiming that
it was too far east of its proper place a.
the northern extremity of the State.
The survey of Prof. Mendenthall and
assistants shows that i t is one N lie east
of it's proper place at that point. and
converging to the proper point at the
southern extremity This would give
Ohio nearly 100 square miles of indiana.

WHATEVER might be thought about
the curative properties of DR. Koch's
tuberculine, says London Truth, it has
been generally held to possess great
value as a means of diagnosis. Cattle
and other domestic animals frequently
suffer from tuberculosis, and it has been
suggested that an injection of tubercu-
line would at least decide whether
sicklY beasts were or were not afflicted
by it. If a rise in temperature followed
the operation, it was concluded that
tuberculous diseases was present,
whereas, if no such rise should occur,
it would be known that the sickness
arose from some other cause. Unfortu-
nately, the report of the veterinary de-
partment of the board of agriculture
completely upsets this comfortable doc
trine. A number of experiments are
there described, which show that the
rise of temperature follows the injection
whether tuberculosis is or is not present.
Veterinary surgeons must therefore still
wait for an accurate method of dag
nosis.

Counting Votes BY Electricity.

Albert w. Hosking OF West Smith
field, England, gave a private demon
stration recently of the working of his
ballot vote counter, scrutineer and de-
tector. The invention consists mainly
of the employment of voting stamp
with n conducting service, to be used by
the cleo or in voting instead of pencil.
The counting, which is marvelously
rapid, is done by means of small trav-
cling apparatus. One of the chief
merits claimed for the invention is abso-
lutte secrecy, There is an electric in
Dictator screen on which the name of the
candidates are placed.

HUNDREDS of mistakes creep into
maps through transformation given by
savage or scmi-civilized people, or the
misunderstanding of ex ylorers. Here is
one instance: A conspicuous place, the
capital of the Laos country, east of
Burmah, has been known for many
years as Zimme, and the name has ap-
peared in large letters on the maps.
The real name of this place is Chineg
Mai. The Burmese cannot pronounce
this name, and the name introduced on
our maps is their INSTRUMENTATION OF
it. An Indian map maker recently in
troduced both names on his map as the
names of separate places. Hundreds Of
African names on our maps are amusing
when we understand them. Thus the
appellations of quite number of rivers
are not their names at all, but simply
signify river or water. Explorers hear
ing these words applied to them erro-
neously concluded that they were the
names of the rivers.

Clearly the girl was insane, and a

doubt came over her. Perhaps, she
said, perhaps you don't mean the Okla

Now for Pictures.

New York has begun to bristle with
pictu e shows.
At the Keppel Gallery there is the an
nual show of American water colors,
and it is a display of much animation
and interest. At the Wunderlich Gal
lery there are engravings of Clancy
subjects" by Bartolozzi and other en-
gravers in stippel-a very curious and
sometimes bizarre collection, very much
in the Venus and Adonis, Psyche going
to battle, and the return of Talemachus
direction.
The Academy fall exhibition is the
artistic talk of the hour, and the Water
Color Society and the Etching Club are
preparing for displays later on. There
is little that is thrilling in the speci al
announcements for sales or private
shows, but the season is still young.
