THROUGH FRAUD
Did Keely Expect to Bring His Motor
to PerfeCtion2

'Keely, the motor man, was not a
fraud or thief" said Mr.. Edgar W.
Weaver,a wealthy resident of Philadel-
phia. "On the contrary, he certainly
discovered a great unknown force and
labored assiduously all his life to de-
velop 1T. At the same time / admit
freely that the machines he exhibited
were humbugs, that they were operat-
ed by secret pipes containing com
pressed air and that he obtained mil
lions of dollars from his hackers by a
course of systematic and deliberate
deceit. Now how do | reconcile these
conlncting propositions? In the sim
plest way in the world, and my theory
is absolutely the only one that ex-
plains the mystery Of his life. TO be-
gin with, he was an ignorant man, de-
void of technical training, and when
he blundered on his discovery he
didn't know how to perfect it. That
needed money-oceans of money. He
was naturally shrewd and able, and he
knew If he went to cap. p.,alists and said
I want a-million to develop a device
that will be of incalculable benefit to
the human race, he would be laughed
at. So he decided deliberately on the
subterfuge. He put the cart before the
horse. Instead of telling them what
lie had he described what he hoped to
nave and bore out his story by sleight-
or-hand. They came, saw and Deliev-
ed what they wouldn't have believed
otherwose, and gave him, all told S5,-
100000. When he died he left just
$3.50 to his family, and the question
Is, What did he do with the money? ?
think l can furnish the answer. He
spent it in tireless, unceasing expert
ment with his real discovery. He GER
tainly didn't put it into the fake ma
chimes; they could all have been built
for less than $5,00U and he didn't
squander it ON himself or his people,
for ..e lived almost as plainly as an or
dinary mechanic. The truth, surely
Is that for years in the sealed back
room of his Philadelphia workshop he
constructed and reconstructed vast en-
gines that nobody ever saw. That
what became of the millions, and that
is what sustained his bouyant self
confidence. He fully expected that the
day would come when he could say:
Gentlemen, lied to you; but here is
the machine / insist that mine is the
only tenable hypothesis. On any other
theory Keely's life is the greatest
most impenetrable mystery of the age

The ladies' Symphony Orchestra.

The managers of the High School
Lyceum Course furnished their pat
rons an entertainment Saturday eve
ming that was wholesome and elevat-
ing. When such an attraction is Of
fered the public it deserves all the pat
ronage that can be given and in this
instance the house was well filled and
every one was well satisfied with the
performance of the Boston Ladies Or
chestra.
The program was made UP of selec-
tions from Mendelssohn, Gunod, Schu-
bert, Rossini, Czibulka Servais and
others and the playing was in har-
mony throughout and yielded that sat
isfaction which good music well rend-
ered alone can yield to an audience
made up of the most cultured and re-
fined people of the city.

ment of his meals. Nothing tastes good
or looks appetizing. He grumbles at his
wife, or the cook, or the landlord, or the
landlady, or the waiter, as the case may
be. People say that he has " a finicky
appetite" " and let il go at that. The fact
is that the man is in a precarious con-
dition and, if he continues to neglect his
health. is candidate for consumption or
some equally terrible malady
If man doesn't wish to "dine with
death for a waiter he should take the
right remedy for "little ills as they
arise, and thus ward off the big ones"

FOR FUN
Gets Asa Scott Bound Over to the
Next Grand Jury.

The preliminary hearing of Asa
Scott, who stands charged with taking
money, stamps and keys from Mesen-
helder & Leonhart's safe, was held be-
fore Mayor Richardson Saturday
morning and resulted in Scot being
placed under 500 bond to answer to
the charge of larceny before the grand
jury
Scotts version of the deed was that
the safe was standing open and he just
took the money as a joke on his en-
ployers and intended giving it back.
The Mayor didn't believe in joking
that way, and Scott, who was unable
to furnish bond, was committed to the
county Jail.

On the Vancluse Pike, the John e.
