Telephones for All Languages.

j. G. Nolen, who is an old-timer in the
electrical construction business, tells a
good story on wal" Blatz, the millionaire
brewer Of Milwaukee, says the Telephone.
Mr.. Nolen says: "Our company had had
some correspondence with Mr.. Blatz re-
garding the putting in of telephone plant
in his big brewery establishment, and l
was sent up to try to close a deal.
1 took couple of our phones with me
IN order to make a practical demonstra-
ton, should one be required, and I went
with the intention of making a sale
L got to talking with Mr.. Blatz and
showed him the advantages of putting In
our nter-communicative system through
out his establishment. He listened at
tentively, and finally said:
Yes, that is all so; very true But
and ne spoke with the conviction of one
who was putting a poser, but my men
down in the malt house and the ware
houses and cold-storage are all Dutchmen
" 1 myself, though a German, and a
graduate of Leipsic and Heidelberg, can
speak English but what good would your
telephones be to my Dutch workmen, who
cannot talk English at all?
We'll, i saw how the land lay. Old
Val could not get 1t through his head
that the telephone would transmit any
thing but the language of America was
bound to make the DEAL as I said before
so remarked to Mr. Blatz:
" 1 can put on some German receivers
If you so desire. I have some with me-
Il connected up the phones, made a
show of changing the receivers, ana in
half an hour Mr.. Blatz was talking to one
of his 'Dutchmen' down in the malt house
He was delighted. o
" You may put them in, he said, and 1
shall want one German one in the malt
house. one German one in each warehouse,
English ones in my office and the bust
ness office, and German one in the cold
storage house
1--WE closed the deal, and Mr. Blatz was
glad to pay 81 extra for each German an
nunciator' we put in. When the phones
were shipped from the factory I had them
labelled German and English respectively,
and the big brewer was perfectly satisfied
ut was five years before saw Blatz
again." concluded Mr.. Nolen He rec
ognized me at once, and said, with hearty
German laugh, You are the accommodate
ing gentleman who put in the German
and English telephones for me. Well,
YOU are good one "

1t is suggested that if the city wants
more cemetery room it can find consider
able land adjacent to Laurel Grove Gene
terry. The city owns the land on the Ogee-
chez road between Battery Park and the
Minis canal This tract and the Battery
Park could be made part of the GENE
terry by purchasing the latter. which joins
the cemetery.
This proposed addition would be in front
OF or east of that part of Laurel Grove
set apart for colored people. If the Health
and Cemetery Committee should go over
the land adjacent to the cemetery 1t might
find that with little effort a considerable
acreage could be added to it at a small
cost-enough, at least, to meet the wants
of the city for another generation or two.
A fact that should not be overlooked is
that IL the city should open a new ceme-
terry IL would have to take care of Laurel
Grove for at least a century. The expense
of taking care of two cemeteries would
be very considerable burden, particularly
as the city is finding it difficult now, al
though the tax rate Is high, to satisfy
the demands OF the different departments
II It should be decided that a new cemc-
terry is absolutely needed. an effort should
be made to purchase Bonaventure before
attempting to secure a cemetery site else
where That cemetery is regarded with
favor by the people. They would rather
the city should purchase it than an alto
gcther new site for a cemetery.

Not Meant for senator cannon,

1t will be remembered. says the Wash
ington Post, that when Senator Cannon of
Utah was making his Cuban speech he
was interrupted in the midst of his re-
marks with an audible That's a lie" He
turned around, and with evident agita-
ton, protested against such denial of one
of his assertions. His protest was adj
dressed to Representatives Moody ana
Barrett, both of Massachusetts, who were
talking to each other while leaning against
the wall of the Senate chamber. The story
of the conversation has since become
known.
Mr.. Barrett, meeting Mr.. Moody, began
with the remark chat he had been engaged
in looking after the affairs of NIoody.s
constituents. "They have kept me verv
busy" said Mr.. Barrett.
why did they not come to me?" asked
Moody.
Because they said they could never find
you in your seat in the House." replied
Barrett
We'll. that's a lie,' sharply retorted
Moody, in tone so loud THAI Senator
Cannon overheard him, and the sense-
tional rebuke followed.

Evidences of High Living.

A member of the police force came across
boy the other day who was wheeling
home load of oyster cans and bottles,

and. curious to know what use the lad
could put them to, he made a direct In,

lad.

as he spit on his hands to resume hold on

1t is not pleasant to think of what
might have been the consequences if the
Supreme Court of Georgia had sustained
the decision of a lower court, that a mar
rlage made on Sunday is not valid. In
the case which brought out that decision
not only was a million dollars worth of
property involved but the court was ask

generation previously, and thus declare a
whole family illegitimate. If this had
been done, thousands of other families

fault of either themselves or their par
ents. Fortunately. the Supreme Court
was wise enough TO combine law and JUS
tice, and thus avert a great public scan
dal, as well as vast amount OF private
unhappiness.

A breech-loading rifle, thirty-two feet
long, with bore ten inches in diameter
and having a range of eight miles, is to
be shipped to Charleston at once by
schooner. 1t is to be hoped it will not
meet the fate of the guns which were
shipped for Tybee by schooner some
months ago. With so powerful gun
mounted on sulliyan's Island, Charleston
harbor would be well-nigh impregnable.

THE BITTER END
 OF A LOVE AFFAIR.
One Maiden Driven Insane, the Other Jiits the Man and He Has
 Been Found Dead.

Deadwood, s. D., Oct. 22.-Albert Martin, rancher living near the Chey- enne river in Ziebeck county, enlisted as a volunteer at the opening of the war and fought at the battle of Fl Clancy After the battle he met Ramona Perez, the daughter of an officer of Garcia s command and they became sweethearts Soon afte Tward be was attacked by fe- yer that sent. him on sick leave. He was engaged before his departure for the war to the daughter of a neighboring ranch man and arranged to be married while home on his leave of absence.
 Meanwhile the Cuban girl had learned of his illness and that he had gone home and she resolved to follow and nurse him. Dressing in her brothers clothes she crossed to Jamaica and secreted. her. self on fruit steamer bound for New Orleans. Reaching there she tramped and beat her way to Hermos, s. D. When she reached there she learned of her lovers approaching marriage and the shock drove her insane. A1 the same time the American learned of her lover's filtration and broke of the engagement Martin began drinking heavily and dis appeared. A few days ago his body was found floating in the Cheyenne river. Whether he fell in while ineoxtcarod or committed suicide is matter Of con1ec- ture.

an end to the plans. NeverthelesE, Blan- co protested against the overtnres and desired to have the war continued.
 There is question as to whether the plot was devised in Madrid with the con- sent of Senor Sagasta and the govern ment, or whether it was purely an act of treaohery and traitorism on the part of Blanco and his supporters. The fact that Spain began suit for peace after the fall of Santiago and that General Blan- co.'s plan was thereby prevented from being carried into execution leads those who have discovered the plot to the be. lief that Blanco and the leaders of the Spanish army who wanted to prolong the war for their individual benefit had acted independently It was thought Blancos intention, if he succeeded in establishing the new republic, was to turn it over to Spain either by purchase or otherwise at the end of 8 certain time. A further part Of the plot was to conquer that part of the island con- trolled by the insurgents.
 General Blaneo also labored under the hallucination that by reyolting against Spain and establishing Q govern ment he and his followers would get the recognition of the United States, which the insurgents failed to secure.
 After the surrender at Santiago it will be remembered that a report was sent out that General Pando had been given a leave of absence by General Blanco and permitted to return to Spain. It now develop that he was re- called by the Madrid government for the part he took in the plans for the mock rebellion, Blaneo when the facts became known to the home government, having made it appear that Pando and not himself was at the head of the movement

HAVANA IS NOT
 A HEALTHY PLACE.
Ds. Brunner's Report Reveals Some Startling News About the obp-
 itaI of Cuba.

Havana, Oct. g. -Dr Brunner has just forwarded to Washington a com ptete report of the mortality of Havana from Jon. to Oct. l8. His figures are enough to strike terror to the hearts of those who are contemplating visiting the city Dr. Brunner's figures deal only with the city proper The military hospitals in the suburbs would add ma terially to the totals. In spite of the fact that Havana was considered practi- cally free of yellow fever this yeare IS died of that disease during July, 20 in August, g ill September and l7 the first 13 days of October. The increase of typhoid fever is startling, as is shown by the following list: Fifty-seven in June, 87 in July, 127 in August, l36 in Sep tember and 69 the first 13 days of Oc- tober. Pernicious fever carried off a7 in the first l3 days of October, an in crease of 200 per cent over the record of any proceeding month In the first 3 days of October malarial fever caused 145 deaths, making a total since January of 652. Dysentery is decreasing, but the total thus far for the year, is 1052 Fever generally caused by the lack of food, and might be written, "starva- ton. It caused 24os deaths, since Jan uary z01 have died direct as a result of starvation Those who have heard Ha- vana climate is good for tuberculosis will be interested in learning that 2245 died of that disease this year.
