FIRST THING DOM PAUL GAVE
AWAY.

New York Tribune: Charles Fitzpatrick
the one-legged trick bicycle rider, is es-
pecially interested in the South African
war because he is personally acquaint-
spent six months in the Transvaal and
gained considerable knowledge Of the
inhabitants. He declares with pride
that he was the first man who ever re-
celved a medal from the sturdy president
OF the little Dutch republic.
Fitzpatrick was rlding his WHEEL at Jo-
nannesburg and was invited to go to
Pretoria and give an exhibition before
the school children. Many adult Beers
were present at the entertainment, and
ance by shooting glass balls thrown in
the air while riding at full speed. 1t
was this that caught the fancy Of the
warlike Beers, n they cheered the per-
former to the echo.
Fitzpatrick was taken before President
kruger afterward, and they talked to-
gether through IN interpreter. Dom
Poul expressed great interest in Ameri-
cans and American Institutions. He
asked particularly about the railroad
arg postal systems of the United States.
Fitzpatrick told Dom Paul tina Ameri-

"Umph," grunted Dom Paul. Then
turning to the interpreter he said:

AS Fitzpatrick was taking his leave the
president pulled a Transvaal sovereign
from his pocket and gave it to him.
Then he took it back and handing it to

trenely difficult. From Dr. Stems de-
s~cription Of the invention, however, and
from the rcDort of the SEMI public tests
that have been made, one is Inclined to
believe that the achievement is by no
means impossible. 1t cannot be denied
that the inventors theory is correct ard

take advantage of this tact III nature II
overcome one of the mos terrible mis-
fortunes that can be visited upon man.
In describing the ratui" OF this dis
covery ! can do no better that to quote
DR.. Ste;ns' own words. He says:
Man does not really see with his eyes,
but with his brain. The eyes are only
an instrument for receiving images,
which are conveyed to the center of per-
ception in the brain by the optic nerve.
The blind man who Derceives the size,
shape and nature Of al object with his
hands sees in a limited sense. If men
had evolved without eyes, but with all
their present brain pow y, they would
doubtless be able to see by some other
no eyes, but perceive lights with their
whole bodies.
Nov, IL an image Of material objects
can be conveyed to the brain by some
other agency than that of the eyes 1t
follows that a blind man, who has q
sound mind. will be able to sec perfectly
well. This is exactly what my invention
accomplishes.

According to the arrangements that
have been made the great celebration is
to be held in King Alfred's royal city OF
Winchester, the capital of Wessex. where
SO many years of his life were passed
and where his dust still lies. In this city,
therefore. will be gathered a vast COM
pany Of hero wOrshippers and for sew
eral days they will devote themselves to
commemorative the reign of the great
king. There will be public meetings at
which eloquent addresses will be deliv-
cred and stirring poems will be read by
great poets. There will be great parades
in which the soldiery of he nation will
participate. and receptions that will be
attended by the rulers of many nations.
There will be banauets that will be
worthy of having a place in history, and
yet all these vents are merely incidents.
for the great celebration will eliminate
with the unwilling of the statue and the
dedication of the wonderful Alfred
museum.
For nearly a year the work of collect
ing money for the purpose of carrying out
the great object of this celebration has
been going on and today the sum is so
large that the c6mmiutee has decided to
take the responsibility of proceeding with
the work. AS the result artists and sculp-
tors are now busy with their designs for
a great bronze statue of the king. while
students are securing the world for ma
terial worthy of having a place in the me-
mortal museum.
The home that has been selected for
this museum is a most appropriate one.
for Wolvesay castle has been secured.
and Wolvesay castle was the residence OF
the ancient English kings. 1t is located
near Winchester and is itself a curiO that
will be equal in point of interest to many
of the articles that will be shown within
its walls. The collection, however, will be
a most valuable one as It Is to embrace
every stage of English history from the
days of King Alfred, that period being
represented by the famous Alfred's jewel
which will be brought to Winchester from
the Ashmolean museum at Oxford.

The year 1901 will be memorable as the
%housandth anniversary of the death of
King Alfred the Great and from the prep
a%rations that are already being made 1t
is safe to say that the great day will be
celebrated in a most appropriate manner.
From one end of the United Kingdom to
the other those who have been taught to
love and respect the emo of the great
ruler of the SaxOns are making plans Tor
the proper observance of the mlllenafy,
while, even in this country, the sentl-
ment Of A~nglo-Saxon brotherhood will
reign supreme for a time at least and
we shall unite with our brothers across
the sea in the ommemoration or THIS
unique event in history.
Sinking all natural feeling, however,
we have the satisfaction of knowing that
we cannot do too much honor to his men,
ory for it is to him that the world owes
a large debt in the matter of learning,
religious freedom, ~seamanship, defense
and culture. He was the greatest Saxon
that ever lived and when one remembers
that he ruled and struggled during a per-
iod of comparative barbarism his pat
riotism, his piety, his owe of learning and
his great capacity as a soldier and law
giVer stand out even more cOnsplcuOusly
He was not only n Of the greatest
Englishmen of all time, but he was the
savior of his race, for had he. like his
klnSman. burned OIL Neicla, lell lie peo-
pie in their hour of peril, a new race
would have taken possession of the ISL
and and the name of England and Eng
lishmen would lave ceased to exist except
in the pages of history.
1t is not strange, therefore. that every
drop of English blood in the world beats
at the thought that the time is coming
when the popular admiration of this MAJ
may be shown in some substantial mark
that sha stand for ages as a memorial
to his character and genius.
Although this celebration is not to be
held for nearly two years the details OF
the great event have already been ar
ranged and some of the greatest men II
the kingdom are now laboring to see thai
these arrangements are properly carried
out. The project has received the APP.

teal in regard to its p~racticability, but
we have witnessed so many marvels,
during the past half century that even
this achievement should not be branded
as impossible until we have had an OPP
portunity by actual test to prove it's
failure. 1t may be tricky, but if such
is the feet the trickery is almost as mas.
terly as the achievement itself.

The difficulties and disadvantages con-
nected with this primitive method of teles-
raphy were SO numerous that 1t seems
scarcely credible that it should have ever
been put into practical opera ton. The
labor and expense involved, to begin with,
were enormous. 1t required 220 stations,
each employing six operators, to keep the
emperor Nicholas l, at his palace at ST.

tempted to make the semaphore visible
by night, by attaching a colOred lamp

great success. The invention of the cleo
trio telegraph consigned to oblivion iJS
clumsy predecessor, of which. however
we have relics in certain parts of Europe
where the old semaphore stations are

Those Worn by FashiOnaI Men Have

New York, Aug. 19.-Let us be comfort
able is the motto by which all mankind
dresses in August and every year the
American man is learning more and more
to exhibit simple common sense in the
selection of his summer wardrobs. II is
not so very long ago the wen regulated
New York or Boston man would have
blushed a the very idea of the pongee
coat ana waistcoat combination that has
recently grown so popular There are all
manner of recommendations to be urged
for these garments. They are not only
supremacy cool but good pongee rebounds
from wrinkles like a rubber ball, it
washes like linen and wears like broad
cloth
The men in India were the first to dis
cover pongee adaptability and economy,
and now the American tai.ors turn our
summer sets in either the natural light
cream or twin brown tones of this ORR
entail silk Coats Of il are cut blazer
shape, and lapels faced with silk and but
toned back on the shoulders and plainly
cut bone buttons, TO exactly match the
moulds covered with pOugee usually do
duty on the waistcoat, that has its fronts
slightly reinforced with muslin facing.
In the country a pair of white flannel or
duck trousers and pongee upper garments
creates a costume as refreshing to sight
ana sensation as womans muslin frock.
one last and telling argument in the pom
gees favor is that. though it may require
frequent washing, a laundress of the most
modest capacities can put 1t through tub
and ironing board triumphantly. II needs
no starch nor fancy ironing. Rubbed
through tepid water and soapsuds. and
pressed before quite dry, il turns up fresh
as a pocket handkerchief and inviting as a
palm leaf fan.
Hot Weather Hats.
With their pongee garments many sensi-
bic men who are getting through their va
cations wear the specially invented seaside
hat The crown of il, put together in
