A ROMANCE BY TELEGRAPH.
Pittsburg Operator Wins Chicago Bride
by Clicking Key Method.


More than one romance has worked
itself out through the aid of the monoto-
nous click of the telegraph, and not al
ways the people who are paying for the
message get the romance. Some two or
three years ago a young girl operator at
the central Chicago office had a little diff
ficuty arise over an Eastern message, SO
she clicked to the operator at the other
end more than the usual Good day." and
thereby began an acquaintance, very mar
row, as only such an acquaintance can be
Like stolen kisses it was very enjoyable
as well, for the operators are not per-
mitted to send personal remarks unless
they are paid for at so much a word. But
the strange little acquaintance continued
to grow until each one began making
telegraphic inquiries about each other.
For a joke the girl was told that her
'.friend" was very aged and with white
beard and bald head, which merely
served to make her less reserved over the
wire. while the man appreciated the fact
because he had been truthfully told that
the girl was young and handsome.
Last week the man came to Chicago for
day. He telegraphed the girl he was
coming and asked that they might meet
AS the man could only be here day, and
as the girl began her duties at l o'clock
in the afternoon the man was told he
could call in the morning, which he did
or course, II was necessary for the man
to prove identity, as the girl was not
prepared to see SO young a man. The gen
eral impression each received of the other
was SO charming that two hours after
they met they were standing before a
minister and replying to the sacred vows
of matrimony, and that night, when the
operator took the train for Pittsburg his
bride was with him.
And now the happy pair are receiving
congratulations from operators all over
the country, who mar the romance by
suggesting that the company conducts
matrimonial agency as a side line.

mate of President Mckinley in the next
campaign. The disease from which Mr..
Hobart suffers is kidney trouble, not
acute, but of form requiring absolute
rest for a long time. The fact has been
known to his friends, but this is the
first announcement that his illness is so
serious as to threaten an actual with
drawal from the duties of his public po-
sition. This illness began with an at
tack of the grippe in Georgia last
spring. He returned thence to Wash
ington, where he suffered relapse, be-
ing confined to his house for several
weeks. Then he went to Long Branch
and recovered sufficiently to rejoin his
friends and the president during a part
of his outing at Lake Champlain. Since
his return last Tuesday to his home in
Paterson, Carroll hall, the vice presi-
dent has not visited his Office in the
Savings Bank building. 1t is said that
he can make no effort without ex-
haustion. His private secretary says:
"The trouble with Mr. Hobart is that
as soon as he feels strong enough to
work he pitches in so hard that he
makes himself i'll again" 1t is now
nearly six months since the vice presi-
dent, despite long periods of rest, has
been able to devote his time cohtinu-
ously to business.

I'VE Afrikander members OF parliament
thoroughly sympathize with our Afrikan-
der relatives In their troubles While APP
preciating the concessions already made In
the interests of peace. we beg to urge the
expediency of doing the utmost. short OF
sacrificing independence. to avert the hor-
rors of war While agreeing that the joint
inquiry proposed by Mr.. Chamberlain can
not be asked as a matter of right we be-
lieve such a commission will provide way
of the difficulties which fast
preaching a crisis. with results which might
prove fatal not only to the civil and free
state brethren. but also to the Afrikander
party of Cape Colony. In the presence or
immediate/danger and the momentous Is
sues awaiting the decision of your honor,
the executive, and the volksraad. even the
risk of being misunderstood Is OF minor i'm
portance. We beg your honor to lay these
words, only dictated by keen sense or
our common interests and risks, privately
before the executive and volksraad.
This message. which was signed by
SO members of parliament, received the
following reply from President Kruger:
81 wish you and other sympathizers will
notice, as you have doubtless already seen
by the reply of the imperial government,
that we have. according TO your desire, con-
sidered the matter and accepted the invi-
tation to the joint commission. Why the
acceptance was delayed is shown by the
dispatches published. wish to thank you
and other friends once more. from my
heart, for the manner in which you have
aided our efforts for pacific and satisfac-
tory solution. Finally, l express the hope
that your work and ours will not be fruit
less"
The meeting also adopted resolu-
ton to the effect that it had heard with
satisfaction that the executive of the
Transvaal had accepted the invitation
of the joint inquiry and trusted the ac-
ceptance would render an outbreak of
hostilities practically impossible.

eminent, in reply to President Kruger's
