satisfy yor." Then he said: "Oh,
am not worrying about the future. AS
long as the people seem to like me,
dare say shall continue to enjoy try
ing to please them. When they are
tired of me, they will show it fast
enough-then it will be time for me to
think of retiring"
'eThe reporters still ask me about
the DRAMA continued Mr.. Jefferson.
."rhey ask me IL 1 think it is improv-

formed"
"And you tell them"
"The same thing. of course. I tell
them that the drama is improving.
Why, certainly. But, bless my soul,
did you ever observe that there's more
anxiety about reforming the drama
and the stage than anything else in
the world? Everybody wants to have
the drama reformed. It has been un-
dergoing reform for 800 years-now,
hasn't It, to your certain knowledge?'

Electric Lighting in the Polar re.
HiOns,

When Nansen set out on the memora-
BILE expedition to try to reach the north
pole great interest was excited by the
installation on board the Fran Of q lit
tie plant for supplying current for q
number Of electric lights, by which it
was sought to lessen the dreariness Of
the long arctic winter. The dynamo
was geared up to windlass, from
which a number Of sheaves projected.
The method proposed for generating
sheaf and let him walk round during
his shift, and thus turn the windlass.
The electricity was then used to charge
battery of accumulators, which were
thus available for lighting purposes.
A wind mill was also provided to be
used when opportunity offered instead
Of hand labor. The experiment was q
great success. Until May last the accu-
mulators were continually charged, and
the electric light was always available.
In the severe cold the batteries froze
right through, but the acid-blended ice
proved an excellent electrolyte, tnd the
frost did not interfere with the work
ing Of the accumulators. On festive &C.
casions an arc light was suspended in
the saloon, and by it DIR. Nansen paint
ed OF made photographs. The night he
left the Fran transparency bearing
the words God Tur" "a safe Journey
was improvised with incandescent
lamps, and when he and Lieut.. johann
sen left the ship an arc lamp was run
up to the top Of the mast as fare
we'll greeting. At one time parts Of the
apparatus had to be taken for making
snowshoes and runners. Electricity
was also used for other purposes be-
sides lighting, the mining shots which
set the Fran free from the grip Of the
ice being fred by means of a cable at
tached to six L,clanche cells. The en-

Futile Attempt to Remove the Records
from Fulton, Ills.

Fulton. Ills, Feb. 1.-THE appellate
court in the injunction case as to the
removal Of the office of head clerk of
the Modern Woodmen of America to
Rock Island decided adversely to Full
ton. Before daylight Tuesday a mob of
over sixty Rock Islanders, with Major
Knox, w. j. Egan, John Rinck and 9TH
ers, arrived on a special train and went
direct to the Woodmen office and seized
the records. Citizens demonstrated with
out avail and the visitors disregarded
the police. The fire department turned
out and closed the rear entrance of the
building with a stream of water and
locked the front entrance, trapping the
conspirators, who chopped the door
down. The firemen drove them back.
They were held prisoners for two hours
and then forced to restore the records
Meanwhile an injunction had been Sc
| cured and the train was hels. The un-
welcome visitors were finally allowed to

rectors of the Modern Woodmen OF
America was in session here and is al

plicated in the affair. Several hand-to-

FAST TIME ON THE RAIL.
Gi eatest Long Distance Railroad Feat Ever
Accomplished.

Denver, Feb. 1.-THE special train
from Chicago over the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy and the Burlington
and Missouri railroads. chartered by
Henry j. Mayham. a Denver mining
investment broker reached this city at
1852 a. m. Tuesday, having run l,O2o
miles in Is hours and 81 minutes. rms
journey goes into history as the great
ust railroad feat ever accomplished. The
best previous railroad long distance rec
ord was 10 hours and 81 minutes for so4
miles over the New York Central ana
lake Shore railroads, from New York
to Chicago.
Mr.. Mayham, who left New YORK
Sunday on the Pennsylvania limited,
chartered a special train at Chicago In
order to reach the bedside of his dying
son, William Il. Mayham, as quickly
as possible. The Burlington officials
agreed TO take him to Denver in twen-
ty-four hours. 1t was at first thought
the trip might be made in twenty-one
| hours Every resource of the Burling-
| ton system was brought into play and
over two hours was clipped off from the
| best running time that was thought
possible. On straight stretches of track
the train covered more than 60 miles an
| hour The mountain climb from AKRON
Col, to Denver, 11S miles, was made In
124 minutes, the train running an even
mile a minute much of the distance.
In spite of the fast time, however, Mr.
Mayhams son died few hours before
he arrived in Denver. Will Mayham'
the son, was 21 years of age and was
married but a few months ago. Las'
Friday morning he appeared in the pes'
