Herr Appunn of Hanau has invented
q bell of new shape, which is said to
have very deep tone and to be as
powerful as considerably heavier bells
Of the form at present In vogue. The
shape is peculiar, being hemispherical,
while the metal is uniform in thick
ness except near the sound bow" Cor
the thickened tip which the clapper
strikes. From the edge to some little
distance above the sound bow the
metal is very thick, and then alters
suddenly to the uniform thickness
which it has for the reat Of the bell.

TELEGRAPHINo IN SPAIN.
1t is Generally Attended with Much
Difficulty and Uncertainty.

Difficulty and Uncertainty.
The Spanish ceremonies which ac-
company the handling of telegram
would be amusing were they not so
irksome and time-killing. You APP
proach a little window in the one Office
in the city, and, when your turn comes,
hand in your message. The clerk
counts the words a couple of times
over, adds up the result Of each page,
refers to the written tariff, and finds
out what the cost is in francs. Then
he takes another slip Of paper, finds
out what the rate of exchange is at
the moment, and reduces the francs to
Spanish pesetas. Finally, he reads out
the result-say, 597 pesetas, 80 CEN
times. You engrave these figures in
your memory, and leaving the hall, go
out to another widow in passage
outside, and there await your turn, re-
peating always the number 1915 till
the clerk asks you what you want.
to purchase Spanish stamps for the
sum of 597 pesetas and 35 centimes,
and then you take out note for 1000
pesetas. The passage is dark on the
brightest day, and you accept the
stamps and your change in spirit of
true religious faith, for you see not
even darkly as in a glass. When you
return to the inner sanctuary and help
to make a queue, awaiting your turn
again, the chances are that you find
yourself short of stamps. in conse-
quence of a mistake on the part of
clerk outside. This happened twice to
me, but l am bound to say the indi-
vidual discovered and rectified his err
ror, SO that my only loss was of about
thirty-five minutes more.

Glass Replacing Granite.

Glass bricks are gradually coming
into use, and it is said that glass will
soon be used for making statues for
public squares, as it resists the corrod-
ing effect of the weather much better
than marble or granite.

Thee new cases were reported Tuesday

in South Wilmington and two on East

all cases are reported promptly. 1t is,
however, hard disease to diagnose, and

LIVELY PROHIBITIONISTS.
Large Meeting Of the Cold Water Fol.
lowers Tuesday Night at

Georgetown.
A large and enthusiastic Prohibition
mass. meeting was held in the Odd Eel.
lows Hall ut Geolge,own Tuesday
night. DR.. Jones, Of Georgetown, was
chairman Of the meeting, and the ex,
ercises Of the evening were lnterspersed
with songs Of appropriate character.
The speakers Of the evening were:
Rev. Vaughan s. Collins, president "f
Wilmington Conference Academy, aud
Rev. Mr.. Hopper, Of the Pwsby terian
Church Of Georgetown.
| The meeting was opened with an ear
nest PRAYER by Rev. Mr.. Hopper,and fol-.
lowing was solo by Miss Hayes and
chorus by choir.
Mr.. Hopper made the opening address,
and made q short but strong appeal to
the voters of Georgetown to crush out Ct
existence the monster SIM intemperance.
The reverend speaker, in an able and
concise manner, showed by his argument
the evil of the saloon, and stated that
three -fourths ofthe crimes that were com.
mitted in the United States and nine
tenths Of the Amer ican paupers were due
to strong drink.
The choir rendered fine selection
after the speaker had finished, after
which DR.. Jonrs stated that the leXt
speaker would be Rev. Vaughn 5. Col
lins, and, as he Wds we'll known in
Georgetown. needed ~ ''inlrodnction."
The popularity Of the speaker was at.
tested by the applause thai grtettu his
appearance before the audience
Mr.. Collins talked al length ON the
subject Uf the evils Of the saloon and
while his atidre.s was interspersed with
comica si' ualions and IaughabIe auec.
dotes lie placed the matter Of the evils OF
intem2erance fairly and squarely before
the people. In the address the speaker
made the assertion that more money had
been spent for Intoxicating liquors az
beverage since January |, 1898, than
would pay the debt incurred BY the
United States in freeing Cuba twice over.
The speaker also told Of all experience
lie had at one time in Wilmington in
which he had, by the aid Of thirty wit
nesses, caused the Court to reject a
mans application for liquor license
nine times, and thinking that the Court
was convinced that the man should not
have the right to sell liquor lie gave up
the fight and the nexi time that the man
applied he met with no opposition and
got his license.
While Mr. Collins did not abuse any
political party he said that he was
ashamed Of the men that he had to hum.
BILE himself to AT Dover when he was
registered and stated that there ought to
be good people sit in such offices as that.

The Temple Of Fame Still . Source Of
Attraction At the Grand
Opera House.


The Temple of Fame continues to draw
large audiences at the Grand Opera

the matinee and in the evening, despite
the rain.
The dances presented last night were
Hungarian Gypsy dance, Lotus Lily,

part of the audience passed upon the
stage. The voting booth was pushed out
to the centre Of the stage and did rush.
ing business. The receipts from this
booth will be very large, az five cents is
asked for the privilege of voting for One's 8
favorite dance. The dancers themselves,
many OF whom mingIe among the audi
ence in their various dance costumes,
solicit votes for the dance they partici-
pate in. Prominent society men are
pleaaed to help them along in the con-
test. The motto here is "vote early,
often and all the time"
The voting booth is in charge Of a
committee compo ed Of Mrs. F.LGilpin,
chairIady; Miss Alice f. Johnston, Miss
Emily ?. BisselI, Mrs. Harry B. Brad
ford, Miss Katherine Pyle and Mrs.
II. Ashton Henry, who have their hands
full.
The votes as soon as cast were again
placed on the blackboard. 1t was like
watching the stock quotations on the
exchange. The vote for certain dances
wonld sometimes take a jump OF hun.
dred points. while Others would 90 up
only ten or twenty. When a Sun

40; Lotus Lily, 3, Sprites, 50.
A booth that is very attractive to most
people il the one known As the gypsy
tent. The gypsy is impersonuttd by
Mrs. William A. WaIling, who, attired
in a pretty gypsy costume, seated by u
fire over which a large pot is hung,
makes fetching picture. She seems
well up in fortune telling and business is
good all the time.
She gives advice in love, courtship and
marriage, tell characters, traces ones
history from the cradle to the grave. and
reunites estranged lovers.
To-night's dances will be All Natione,
Japanese, Blackbirds and Hunters,
Sprites. Cake Walk, Irish and Thirteen

OMAHA EXPOSITION
Mrs. Virgins Describes the State
Building and Ak-sar-ben

Among the imposing buildings at the ex-
position, writes Mrs. Virgins. is the Ne
braska building. 1t is large and commo-
dious and arranged to accommodate the
public In general. The center of the build
ing is an immense rotunda, where settees
and easy chairs abound in great numbers
Around this rotunda on both the first and
second floors are parlors for the accommo-
dation OF guests and many rooms for So
cieties, orders and clubs. Hence the Ne
braska building is the general headquarters
for many corners to the exposition, and the
Nebraska people cheerfully offer to have
an oversight over any and all of the guests
Well may the state of Nebraska build
commodious building and open her doors
70 the coming public, for it is quite possible
that she is now enjoying the very greatest
Of all her opportunities to present herself
and her resources to the public. Her very
best foot is put foremost in her every
effort here. Her educational exhibit is the
most extensive In its line and is very COM
prehensive and we'll classified. Her exhibit
of agriculture is extensive, entertaining and
surprising. Her horticultural exhibit, while
so far confined to small fruits, is very good
and we'll presented. Her art exhibit, some

Don't Like Her Husband

A complaint was sworn to in Justice Mo-

colored woman. against her husband,
James, charging him with battery. The
woman says he slapped her in the face be-
cause he found her in the company Of sew
eral negroes he did not approve Of as COM
panions for her. The woman some time ago
claimed that she had been abused by her
stepfather, but an investigation showed
that this was untrue. She is said to be q
person of irresponsible character, and the
present charge against her husband IL
Thought to be an attempt on her part to
have him locked up in order that she can
leave the city. Moore was enticed to the
police station last evening. where the war
rant was served.

compare favorably with the art work of
older states.
This exposition is the great climax Of an
effort put forth some three years ago by
Nebraska, especially Omaha, men to rouse
the people OF this state and section to a
greater appreciation Of its resources. Then
was introduced the Ak-sar-ben-Nebras ska
spelled backwards-a feast week and par
ade not unlike the Mardi Gras. The best
and most prominent citizens OF the town
take part in this weeks festivities, even to
sharing In the parade. The Ak-sar-ben al
ways comes early in October. when the
weather Is fine. the harvests laid by and en-
thusiasm easily reused. The exposition
Will not interfere with the Ak-sar-ben in
October. for Nebraska people are now fully
awakened to the fact, long ago realized by
Los Angeles men, that the ilfe Of place
depends upon the energy Of its citizens.
