The Inventor Of the Telephone
Busy on a New Plan.
ROMANCE IN HIS CAREER.
Falling in Love Led 10 His Great
Discovery.
HIS WIFE is TOTALLY DEAF.


Perhaps few men whose names are a
household word have SO carefully hidden
their personality from the public gaze as the
inventor OF the Bell Telephone. Every one
has heard OF Or. A. Graham Bell. and every
one knows Of the invention which has made
him famous. but with rare modesty the in
yenior has kept himself in the background.
for while fame is pleasing to him as to every
earnest man. noioriety is dlstasteful. It. is
for this reason. doubtless. that he leads a
quiet lie away from the centers OF business
and society, enjoying the results Of his Won
derful invention in a way most delightful
to him. hut which most rich men would
deem slow and uninierestlng.
a good example OF this retiring dlsposl-
ton is shown in an anecdote related by Mr..
Bell himself, Shortly after the telephone
had proved It's merit as useful invention
the inventor. who has little taste for an
active business life, became so weary Of
posing as curiosity and OF being placed
on exhibition for the admiration OF his
eountrymen, that he decided to hide himself
for time at least He wanted to 20 some
place where the word telephone was I'M
known and where he would be again plain
American citizen. He chose Italy for hls
retirement and going to Florence he set
tied down in his hotel for a quiet rest. The
next day after bis arrival a visiting card
was handed him bearing a name entirely
unknown 10 him. What was his eurprise
when the stranger. upon being introduced,
stated that ne had come to present the COM
plmenis OF the now telephone company or
gan!zed few months previous. The next
day Mr., Bell and his party took their de-
parture for regions kept unknown.
The history Of the telephone has been so
often written that the facts relatlnr 10 IL

They may not know it yet but the
avenger is on their trail and, If all
reports be true, he means to make
many of the dusky red men bite the
dust.
Charles Martin, is the avenger. For
the past fourteen years he has resided
quietly at III Ashford street, Brooklyn.
During the greater part of that period
he has made study of the Indian ques-
ton, 1t is stated, and he finally decided
that 1t was really wicked for the United
States Government to expend so many
million dollars of the aborigines every
year.
The climax was reached on Sept. 90
last. when he learned, for the first time,
that Uncle Sam had paid out S275. 621. S1s
for the support in idleness of the Ind ans
since 1889
That settled It.
He decided to go West and extermin-
ate every tribe either on or off the re-
servations.
He had a position with Harper BROTH
ers, the publishers This he sacrificed
without informing his parents some
weeks previous to Sept. %, though he
continued to leave his home at A. NJ.
and return at the regular time at night
for his dinner.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Sept.
20 he hurried to his home and told his
mother to get his best clothes together
at once. as he started Immediately for
the West, She did not know what to
make of this announcement, as she had
not been taken into his councils. She
left the room for a moment and when
she returned he was gone. He has not
been heard from since that day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin are stricken with
grief. They describe Charlie as fourteen
years and six months old rather
sturdily built. light complexion, brown
hair. minus two front upper teeth, wore
soft felt hat, light trousers, black vest
| and gray sack coat.
Mr. Martin told an Evening World"
| reporter to-day that Charlie was con-
| tinually pouring over railroad time
tables and talking of killing Indians
and going West. He feels confident that
his son has taken Horace Greeley's adj
vice, and has requested the Chief of
| Brooklyn's police to send out an alarm
| to all points west of the Mississippi.
Charlie borrowed 81 from an aunt a
| day or two before his departure, and II
| is not known whether he had more
money.

STRIKERS MAKE THREATS.
Extra Police Guard Ordered for n
brooklyn shoe Factory.

The police are on guard to-day at
Lanes shoe factory, Fifth avenue and
Sterling place, Brooklyn, where the
hands went on strike yesterday. This
is the second strike there within six
weeks. The men who went out yester-
day We're those employed to take the
places of the hands who went out at the
first strike. There are about eighty Of
them, and they have been boarded on
the premises on account of the bitter
feeling existing between them and the
men whose places they filled.
Yesterdays strike was caused by the
discharge of two men. Now that both
of the contending parties are out to-
gether trouble is feared.
Police Captain Early had a detachment
of police on duty all night. During the
early part of the night several windows
of the factory We're broken by stones
thrown by the strikers, and ten arrests
were made There We're several fight $
among the strikers and the police were
kept busy. The same condition prevails
to-day. The men are sullen and deter
mined.
The factory people expect to bring a
third gang of workmen to the factory
the first of the week. The strikers say
the men will never reach there alive.
and as an extra precaution the police
guard will be doubled.

FURGUESON ON THE STAND.
The Scar of New Utrecht" Tells
About His Gas Plant.

CorneluI Furgeson, known as the Car
of New Utrecht, took the stand In the
Supreme Court Brooklyn, before Judge
Smith, to-day. 1t was in the suit brought
by Walter Parfitt, taxpayer, for the
annulment of contract between the
town and the Kings County Gas Com
pany.
The company was made defendants
together with Furgueson and the other
members of the Town Improvement
Board.
The allegation had been made Of the
existence of collision, as all the fields
in the district are brightly Illuminated,
for which the taXp iyers had to bear. IT
was shown that there was gas-lamp
fop nearly every inhabitant of the town
and that no beretit was derived from
