TALKS OF kEELY'S TUBES.
Vice President of the Company Tries
to EXPLAIN Their Use.

New York Jan. 3O-A statement in de-
tense of John w. Kelly and his so-called
invention was read at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Keely Motor
company held at 81 Broad street yester-
day Afternoon The statement was pre-
pared by B. l. Alderman, the president of
the company.
1t says in substance that the steel and
metallic tubes which were found in Keely's
shop and which led to the reports that his
secret power was merely compressed air.
had been discarded for fifteen years, and
that, being useless, they were finally sold
for old metal
The tubes, and also the sphere, the
statement says, were used as mediums
for storing and conveying the force in
vented by Keely from the generators to
the engines.
The first generator was discarded in 1871
according to the statement, and new one
built. Mr.. Alderman says that he and
another director of the company were
present when the new genera tor. was test
ed, and were satisfied that the force gen.
Grated was not compressed air.
In 1887, the statement says, all the tub
ings were discarded. and since then all
experiments have been conducted through
solid wires

the United Tribes of the Six Nations of

Converse Is OF family whose sympa-
thies are with the oppressed. Her
grandfather Guy Maxwell, was adopt

quois, in 1873, and subsequently by the
nation.-Chicago Times-Hera1d.

PRAYER BROKE THE SPELL
Christian Scientists Rescue a Hypno-
tized Child.

Springfield, Mo-, Jan. 3o.-An amateur
hypnotist recently placed S-year-old Liz
zie Murray of Alb South street under
the strange influence. The child was
made to bark like a dog, and to cut
other capers," laughable at first, but in
tensely distressing when it dawned upon
the onlookers that the hypnotist was
powerIess to undo the strange doing.
Mrs. Lille Hutchinson, cultured, tall
ented and educated, is the amateur hyp-
notist. Lizzie Murray is the daughter
of Mrs. Jennie G. Murray, believer in
Christian Science. Mrs. Hutchinson oc-
cupied apartments at the Murray home,

the power tried upon her. She had been
under the influence for several minutes
and had set the house in an uproar of

try as she would she could not over
come the influence.
The mother of the child was over
come by terror. She summoned several
of her Christian Science friends from
their homes and knelt with them about
the little girl. Their voices mingled in
a concerted appeal to heaven to release
the child from the strange power.
Hour after hour glided by and still
the little one raved in her hypnotic
madness. The hearers became more fer
vent, suspense was at its highest ten
sion. At last, after nearly four hours,
little Lizzie Murray was herself once
more.
"Ouh prayers are answered., SAID
the mother as she swooned in joy.
Mrs. Hutchinson has gone to Cafifor-
mia. Before leaving she expressed deep
sorrow at the occurrence.
Mrs. Murray says she has no I'll will
against Mrs. Hutchinson, believing her
to be a good woman who simply made
an unfortunate mistake.
But do not indorse hypnotism,'
said Mrs. Murray, land If I had been
present I would have objected to Lizzie

strong and is just recovering from
attack Of scarlet fever. firmly believe
that prayer saved her"

Marie Halton, the English comic opera

few years ago, got her name into the
Viennese papers recently. 1t is told of
her that she entered the show rooms of
a swell tailor in Vienna. The saleswo-
men were busy with several other GUS
toners, showing them the latest suit
1ngs and modes. The proprietor offered
to wait on the newcomer, who spoke lit
tie German and found some difficulty in
making her wants known.
About half the stock of the salon had
been shown to her and the attention of
all the other women attracted before
she made the proprietor understand
that she waited some green materials
for a costume. A large remnant was
submitted to her at a. bargain. THAT
would be entirely too much,'' she ex-
planned. "All 1 want is a couple OF
green leaves and then some pale green
tulle for a waist" The other custom
ers were struck with dismay, and NOV

consider communicating presence.

WHITE HOUSE FULL DRESS
rFrom the Washington Post.1

CFrom the Washington Post.1
I have asked no less than ten people
who ought to know a question involving
the etiquette of uniforms, and each one
of the ten has skilfully evaded the Ques-
ton. It's a question pertaining to the
White House. OF course, 1 know that an
invitation to dine with the president is
equivalent to royal command, and
that you are expected to accept, even if
you are knee-deep in previous engage
mentS, but what want to know, and
what nobody seems able to tell me, is
whether etiquette requires an officer to
wear his uniform when he dimes at the
White House
General Wilson wore Just simply
yards and yards of gold lace and chew
rons and shoulder straps, or whatever
you call them, when ne dined with the
president recently, but General Miles
wore the conventional evening dress of
a civilian. don't know that the fate
of the nation is involved In the matter

which general is correct, since 1t IS OBJ

dressed the other was not.

Light Drnught Cruisers.

The Navy Department Is considering the
advisability of fitting up and keeping In
readiness light-draught cruisers for special
service like that recently performed by the
Vixen at Bluefields. The suggestion is
made by advocates of the plan that such a
course would save both time and expense,
and that such vessels could respond to the
call of consul or perform other similar
service quite as well as could battleship;
also that they would have the great advan-
tage of being able to cover the distance to
far-away ports much more speedily than
would heavier ships. The matter is receiv-
ing careful attention and the opinion pre-
walls that the plan will be adopted at no
distant day. The present purpose is to use
the auxiliary cruisers for this work, and
the Hawk and the Dorothea are among the
vessels which will thus be utilized. They
probably will not be put in commission, but
will be provisioned and otherwise kept in
condition for constant sea service The in
tentton Is to have four such vessels.

BROKE HIS NECK DIVING.
But the Doctors Hope to Save f. O.
BOylan's Life,

The New York Herald of today SAYS:
Frederick o. Boylan. forty-nine years old,
of No. 459 West 155th street, whose neck
was broken by dive into shallow water at
Midland Beach, Staten Island, on Sunday,
and who was taken in what was thought
to be a dying condition to the Smith In
Urinary, in New Brighton, was saved from
death by delicate surgical operation on
the spine, performed by DR.. George P. Jes-
sup, on Sunday night.
Boylans case is exactly like that of Allen
Lawson of No % West 2Sth street, who
broke his neck by diving from a spring
board at Midland Beach into four feet of
water, on July "A, 1895. Over the posterior
cervical vertebrate an incision was made,
and it was found that the sixth vertebra
was fractured. The fragment of bone had
not lacerated the flesh, but was forced
back in such a way that it pressed on the
spinal cord.
When the splinter of bone was taken out
the pressure over the nerves proceeding
from the spinal column was withdrawn.
Now that the source of irritation has been
removed, the physicians hope that the
spinal cord may resume its functions.
