GOT EVEN WITH THE BULLY
Mary E. Leases Husband Did Not
Propose to Take ANY Insolence

Anent the slurs recently cast at Mrs
Lease, 1t is not generally known that her
husband is man who has not only the
Willingness to fight when occasion re-
quireS it, but who has the requisite
Drawn to do battle to a successful con-
clusion. Charlie Lease was a mighty
good man in his day, and his day has not
ended yet He has had only about two
fights in the past ten years, and unless
somebody who doesn't know him runs up
against him he won't have a fight in the
next ten years. In the early days of the
Alliance Fred Bailey, who was after
wards Jerry Simpsons congressional
committeeman, and who is now mem
ber Of the townsite board of Perry, Ok,
boarded or roomed in the Lease home.
Fred was poor in those days and couldn't
"liquidate" as promptly as was in keep
ing with sound business principles. Mr..
Lease took no stock in the jealous re-
gard Bailey had for the reform move
ment, because Mr.. Lease was then, as he
is today, sound Democrat
One fine day the whole Third ward of
Wichita was thrown into the greatest
excitement at seeing Charlie Lease fol-
lowing Mr.. Bailey, both running with
the fleetness of the coyote. With the
greatest regularity Mr.. Lease admins
tered punishment toMr. Bailey every ten
steps, alternating kicks with blows often
enough to give the affair variety. No
arrests were made, for the whole police
department knew that Charlie Lease
would not fight unless he was justified in
doing so. The other fight he had was in
drug store, and it illustrates Mr..
Leases makeup to a dot He was a
salesman in the wholesale drug store of
Ben Aldrich. One day a bully. who
wanted to start joint in a neighboring
town, came in to buy some drugs to put
in front. He was mean chap and swore
at Mr.. Lease frequently and applied dis
graceful epithets to him repeatedly. Mr..

Pauline Markham in Commissions

There were over 500 persons who saw
sands at Manhattan Beach on Saturday
afternoon, but there were only two or
three who recognized her as the once
famous beauty, Pauline Markham. 1t
was just 5 o'clock when Miss Markham
came out of the surf. She had taken a
rather long swim, and as she made for
the point on the beach where her friends
were standing, she fell. Two men ran
to pick her up, but before they could
reach her she was in commissions. DR..
H. l.. Grover of Brooklyn. who happened
to be standing near by, hurried to Miss
Markham and three other men helped to
hold the actress. 1t was nearly ten min
utes before Miss Markham was suffi-
ciently recovered to be carried into the
women's bath house. Scarcely had she
been made as comfortable as possible in
the dressing room when she was seized
with another convulsion. Later on Miss
Markham had two more convulsions, and
it was nearly nine o'clock at night before
her friends were able to take her home
in carriage. Miss Markham has been
in bad health for nearly a year; in fact.
it is said that she has never been well
since her leg was broken in a coal hole
in western town. Miss Markham sued
the city at the time and obtained very
heavy damages.-New York Evening

COST OF STOPPING A TRoLLY
Expense Considerable, But Motormen
Can Lower It

There is an old adage to the effect that
what is worth DOING at all is worth doing
well. Because we cannot see the force
that propels the trolly car we are apt to
forget that the humble duties of the mo-
torman require intelligence. 1t looks as
if he had just a handle and that was
the end of it, but the real truth of tbs
matter is something very different. 1t
takes just as much electric power to
start car as it would animal power, and
it requires less current to keep the car
moving than to start it, so that grea.
number of starts and stops means q
large consumption of energy. In the
American Electrician there appears an
article in which the actual figures for
these two cases are given. 1t is shown
that the cost of one stop on each trip of
a car year on fifteen-car line may
amount to $40, or TO $467 for a hundred :
car road; so that if these figures are
multiplied by two stops at each crossing
on road operating long lines the large
cost is evident. Careful handling of the
controller will save over $1,000 year on
a fifteen-car road and $1,000 per year on
hundred-car road. The difference be-
tween a careful motorman, who has been
well instructed, and a careless one may
amount to from to s per cent of the total
energy consumed. 1t is perfectly safe,
according to this authority, to say that
10 per cent of the energy can be saved
by careful handling Of the controller
while on most roads at least Is per cent
could be saved without doubt
The maxim of every motor should be
use the break as little as possible and
drift as much as possible" The employ
ment of skilled motormen capable of un-
derstandng the mechanism they handle
would result in saving to the trolley
companies, even though higher salary
were paid the men, and, at the same time
add much comfort to the passengers

FITzSIMMoNs AT NEWPORT
The Lofty-Browed Cornishman Re
fused Invitations to Dine

Robert Fitzsimmons opened the day at
Newport Sunday. AS soon as he arrived
the news spread from one end of the
village to the other, and even became the
topic among the cottage dwellers. His
advent had not been announced, but he
was recognized the moment he stepped
from his carriage at Leland's Ocean
house.
He was dressed in a light gray suit.
wore a straw hat, and was accompanied
only by his private secretary. He took
a long drive around the town, and Wis
tied both Trinity and All Saints church.
After lunch Bob met Chauncey M. De-
pew and had short chat on the relative
merits of their two arts.
The doctor beamed with appreciation
when Fitz said: They say, Mr.. De-
pew, that the man don't live who can
stand up to you in an after-dinner talk" 3"
The two men shook hands warmly, and
the doctor felt of Bob's arm with ar
expression of astonishment on his face.
The pugilist was very much impressed
with the beauty of Newport, and said
he was astonished at the number Of
magnificent homes that lined the ave-
ed and took look at his broad shoulders
and many ladies were presented to him.
Fitzsimmons received the attentions
lavished upon him modestly, but with
visible delight. Many invitations 10 go
driving and dine were declined by the
champion, on the ground that he found
it much pleasanter to be free from en-
gagements Of any kind. He left for
New York tonight on the o'clock boat.
While Fitzsimmons was al Mr.. De-
pew'S he met young Cornelius Wander
bilt, and the two engaged in quite a
conversation. The latter afterward re-
marked to a friend that he was very
agreeably surprised in Fitzsimmons;
that he was very much of a man, with
open countenance. In the afternoon Bob
and his secretary visited the flagship
New York where they received great
ovation. He was taken in tow by sew
eral of the officers and went through
the ship from powder hole to pilot room
and took special interest in the torpe-
does. Spying a piano in the junior Off
it and sang a song which he said he had
composed while on his way to New
port. Before he left the ships deck
he had become a great favorite with
everyone on board. As the cutter left
with Bob on board, the deck of the big
cruiser was lined with Jack Tars, who
gave him a parting cheer.-New York

Elihu Burritt's Neglected Library

In a corner of small room on the
second floor of the Burritt school, in a
case more remarkable for its height than
its width. is the library of our distin-
guished townsman, the late Elihu Bur-
rift.
The case has not been opened in some
fifteen or twenty years, the key has been
lost for the greater part of that period
and the valuable books of the Learned
Blacksmith have not only not been
touched by human hands, but are COW
cred whit dust. Prof. Hubbard has been
looking at the collection through the
