Novel Form of Jeyvelry Built by an
Electrical Jeweler.
A Texas matchmaker and electrician
has built for himself very effective and
novel scarf pin in the form of tiny
electric motor, which, though only
weighing epennyweightthree grains,
is complete in every detail, and can be
operated when supplied with current.
This is probably the smallest operative
motor in the world. Gold takes the
place of copper throughout, and the
field magnets, which necessarily have
to be of u magnetic material, consist of
two thicl0nesses Of q very fine sheet
iron scraped down and polished. These
are held together with gold Screws, and
wound in the regulation manner with
very fine sillS-eovered wire. The COM
miSator bars are also of gold, and the
smallest of brushes deliver the current
TO the armature windings. Notwith-
standing it's minute size this little motor
runs at a lively speed and creates quite
n hum when supplied with current from
small silyer-chloride battery carried
in the vest pocket.

MR.. SINCERLY DEAD.
President Of Recently Failed
Bank Suddenly Expires.
HEART DISEASE Tue CAUSE OF DEATH
Believed the Smoke Of a Cigar Brought
ON Coughing Spell, Rupturing a
Vessel of the Heart-sketch
of His Career.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-William
NJ. Singerly died suddenly at his resi-
dence, 1701 Locust street, yesterday aft
ernoon. Heart disease was the imme-
date cause Of death. Mr. Singerly had
been suffering for about ten days from
a cold and had remained at home since
last Wednesday, although his indisposi-
tion was in no way serious. While sit
ting in his bedroom smoking a cigar he
was seized with a violent fit of cough
ing and Immediately afterward fell over
dead. In the room at the time were
Mr.. Singerly's granddaughter, Miss Ma
bel Singerly Meredith, and two serv-
ants. His son-in-law, James S. McCart-
ney, had left few moments before the
sudden end came, leaving Mr.. Sngerly
apparently in good health. apart from
his slight cold.
The physicians say they had cautioned
Mr.. Singeriy that his heart was weak
as a result of excessive smoking, and
of late his custom was to take a dry
smoke" Yesterday, however, his cigar
was lighted, and it is thought that the
smoke brought on the coughing spell,
the severity of which ruptured a vessel
of the heart. Mr.. Singerly leaves a
daughter, Mrs. E. Singerly Balch, who
is at present touring Europe.
William NJ. Singerly was proprietor
of The Record Publishing company
president of the Chestnut Street Ma
tional bank and the Chestnut Street
Savings Fund and Trust company
which recently collapsed, and of the
Singerly Pulp and Paper mill. He was
a member of the Fairmount park COM
mission and until lately it's treasurer
and a trustee of the Philadelphia Com.
mercial museum.
He was born in this city on Dec. 2T
1892 and. with the exception of a briei
period in his early manhood, when ht
conducted a commission business il
Chicago, had lived here ever since. His
father, Joseph Singerly, was one Of th'
originators of the street railway system
of Philadelphia, and William returned
here to assume the management of tn
Germantown Passenger Railway com
pany. In 1877 he bought The Record, thei

DEVOTION OF A PIGEON.

EIwOOd Bird Works for Days to Ige-
lease an Imprisoned Companion.
A remarkable example of a pigeons
devotion was illustrated at Elwood re-
Gently. There are many coops of car
rier pigeons in that city. Some days
ago a pet pigeon disappeared from its
accustomed retreat at the storage
house of the Indianapolis Brewing com
pany. No trace of it could be found.
A few days later the old pigeon was
noticed acting strangely. 1t began fly
ing yieiously ngainst the outside of the
building and striking the weather
boarding with her bill and head. She
would fly to the Panhandle car track
and with a flying start dive back against
the side of the building, always hitting
the same spot. She kept up her queer
actions until, It is claimed by those who
witnessed the affair, she actually
clipped hole through the siding.
She was later noticed carrying food
and dropping tthrough the small open
ing. Aninvestigation revealed the fact
thnt the missing bird had got fastened
between the weather boarding and the
lath. It called on the old bird and at
last attracted her attention. She be-
gan work getting to it and after three
or four days succeeded in making a
large enough opening to get food
