THE TEST OF SINCERITY.
How the Charming Miss Discovered
Who Were Her Flatterers.


Aunt Louisa" Eldredge has any
number of young friends, some in the
profession and some out, who come to
her for advice on allpossible subjects.
One day not long ago young lady
who is plentifully endowed with the
choicest gifts of nature called on her
and in the course of conversation re-
marked:
~ do wish there was some way to
find out who among the young women
OF my acquaintance are sincere and
honest in what they say to me. They
are all such hatterers that l never
know when to believe what they tell
me and when not to. | detest false
hood above everything, and it would
please me greatly to know those among
my friends who are really sincere"
Il will tell you way" said AUNT
Louisa" THE next time you have a
number ofthem callingupon you stand
up and recite a dramatic poem for
them, and tell me what they say about
| it.
The young lady consented, and some
time afterward when five or six of her
warmest admirers had gathered in her
parlor she offered to give them reci-
tation. and did so.
She hadn't the slightest idea of elo-
cution and no dramatic talent what
ever. but she went throughwith it, and
it was very, very bad, even for an
amateur.
y few days afterward shemet 'Aunt
Louisa" again.
"Oh. must tell yeu.'' she exclaim-
ed. Your test was a complete sue
cess. They were delighted with my
recitation. Tom and Charlie and Dick
and Harry were perfectly entranced.
They said Sarah Bernhard couldn t
have equaled it,
did every one praise you:" asked
"Aunt Louisa
'All but Mr.. Watson. He sat back
in his chair and never applauded at
all. After | had finished he told me
that he was afraid my forte was not in
the dramatic line -
and now" said AUNT Louisa. -
you know who is sincere and who is
not. -
Yes, indeed said the fair girl.
I'm going to begin studying for the
stage right away. and I'll never speak
to that odious Mr.. Watson again. =

ELOPED ON BICYCLES.
Enraged Parent Followed with Re-
volver, With Which He Punctured
His Daughters Tire.

SHELBYvILLE. IND, Aug. 2.-Dr.
Charles Perry and Miss Emma White,
10 miles south of here, have been suit
ors many months against the wishes
of the young lady's parents.
The doctor, who is prominent, and
the young lady decided to marry, and
yesterday, through friend, he arrang-
ed for Emma to meet him in black
berry patch a mile from her home.
When the girl arrived, the doctor ap-
peared with two bicycles. Securing
his prize, he started towards this city.
Soon after they had departed they
were surprised to hear the report of a
revolver behind them. Looking back,
they saw Emma's father on bicycle
in hot pursuit. They hastend their
speed, as did the old man. He fired
another shot from his revolver and
punctered the tire of the girls wheel.
The Doctor placed her on the handle
bars of his wheel, and the race was on
again. They soon distanced the irate
parent and were made one long before
he arrived in town, completely winded.

LIFE IN ALASKA.
More Money in Merchandise Than in
Prospecting.

After spending nine years or more
in the gold fields of Alaska, Charles
Rosenberger, who was born and rear
ed on the North Side. and whose par
ents live on California avenue, near
Sedgwick street, does not think much
of the prospecting for gold business.
He tried his luck at digging for three
or more years, spent all his savings
in gold stock investments, and finally
gave up the idea and settled down
among the Indians of the territory,
trading in furs and general merchan-
disc. He has since found that there is
much more gold in the regular busi-
ness channels of Alaska than in the
ground where so much of the valuable
mineral is supposed to be deposited.
Henry Muth, of Allegheny, was one
of the boon companions of Rosenberg
er before he left the city. He met his
old cOmrade two years ago when he
came here on visit. Mr.. Muth says
that Rosenbergerwas discouraged with
the gold business. but was impressed
with the rugged life he had been lead
ing in the North. Mr.. Muth is familiar
with the tough experience of his friend
in finding a suitable claim in Alaska
that would pan out the profit. in gold
to pay him for his hard work and
troubles.
Mrs. Rosenberger, mother of Charles,
said last night that she had not re-
ceived letter from her son for over
seven months. When he last wrote he
said he was doing thriving business.
He is now located in Eack. Prince
William Sound, and Is doing IA gener-
al merchandise business. He is about
$50 miles away from the gold mining
region. The letter speaks of IA num-
Der of people from Pennsylvania wEo
went to Alaska to seek their fortunes,
but who finally returned short OF
money and eyerythinge The writ
er declares that gold is to be found in
the region, but he saysit is one chance
out of Il dozen who will turn over the
lucky soil. .-Pittsbur Chronicle-Tele-

KITE TELEGRAPHY.
An Inventor Claims He Can send
Messages From New York to Chi
cagO.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Wm. 4. Eddy
says that experiments in atmospheric
electricity fOrthe purpose of telegraph
ing without wires was begun by him in
July last at Bayonne. n. J., with two
lines of kites supporting two lines OF
copper wire separated by distance OF
several hundred feet. Marconi of Italy
has announced that the power to tele-
graph without wire depends upon the
perpendicular projection of the wires
at each station, and that with separat-
ed wires projecting to a height of 100
FEET he succeeded in telegraphing with
out wire connection to a distance of
twelve miles. Mr.. Eddy believes that
with kite-supported wires messages can
be sent from New York to Chicago by
means of three or four intermediate
kite stations. each kite station having
its wire projected to height of 800
or 1000 feet. He says he has been de-
feated by light winds. but the expert
ment of telegraphing without wires
will be carried out as soon as possi-
BILE. He made repeated attempts on
Saturday last to carry upward dup
licate line of wire with the two lines of
kites. but the wind declined to calm
before the second line could be eStab-
lished in the air. Marconi heretofore
has used kite. but has supported his
perpendicular wire by other means.
Mr.. Eddy's object is to vastly increase
the distance telegraphed by extending
Marconi's perpendicular wire to a
great height and substituting atmos-
pheric electricity yoftremendous tension
for the artificial electricity of a coil
or oscillatOr.
