BAD PALM1sT IN PRISON

MAN WITH WHOM MRS. SHAKES
PEARE ELOPED GETS FIVE
YEARS.
The Philadelphia Times today con-
tains the following:
London, April 5.-Henry Musgrave
Onequi, an American professional
palmist, well-known in New York and
Chicago, was sentenced to five years
Imprisonment today at the Old Bailey
for stealing property belonging to a
woman with whom he contracted a
bogus marriage.
Onequi whose real name is Evans
Wheeler, is best-known in Philadelphia
through the elopement with him Of
Mrs. Shakespeare, wife Of James H..
Shakespeare, for a long time one of the
most prominent lawyers of this city.
Mrs. Shakespeare was residing in ho-
tel in New York in 1S9S-being allow
ed $1,000 a month by her husband
when she met Oneuui who was then
conducting a luxurious establishment
there as a professional palmist. Friends
of the Shakespeares were startled in
September, 1898, to learn that Mrs.
Shakespeare and the palmist had gone
abroad together. Investigation on the
part of the husband revealed the fact
that Onequi and Mrs. Shakespeare had
been married in Hoboken, n. j., during
the previous March.
Shortly after their arrival in London
Onequi deserted the woman who was
thereby left destitute and had to ap-
peal to the United States consulate for
transportation back to America. The
STORY Of her destitution was cabled to
this country, and Lawyer Shakespeare,
who always believed that his wife had
acted under a hypnotic spell, sent for
her, and there was reconciliation
upon her arrival in this city.
The Shakespeares are well-known
and have relatives in this city and in
Kent county.

Mrs. Dewey has succeeded in def
nitely locating the admiral politically.
He admitted to the assembled corps Of
Philadelphia interyiewers represent
ing the newspapers. last evening, that
he is a democrat. That is much better
than his original position-shouting
from concealment. a demand for q
presidential nomination from anybody
who might chance to have one in pos
session and ready to market at the
price OF a popular name It was not
TO be expected that Mrs. Dewey would
permit him 70 be other than a demo-
crat, both herself and her eminent
brother being ardent democrats.

only be able to say--in silent rumina-
tion-"The woman did tempt mel"

A New Kind of Fly.

An astonished, but apparently salts
fed spider was one upon which a gen
tleman recently made an experiment.
The result of his investigations is told
in Public Opinion:
While watching some spiders one
day, it occurred to him to try what ef-
feet the sound of tuning fork would
have upon them. He had strong sus-
picion that they would take it for the
buzzing of n fly. Selecting n large,
fat spider, that had long been feasting
on flies. he sounded the fork and
touched thread of the spiders web.
The owner was at one edge of his
web and the thread selected was on
the other side. Over his wonderful
telephone wires the buzzing sound was
conveyed to the watching SPIDER, but
from his position he could not tell
along which particular l.ne the sound
was travelling.
He ran to the centre OF the we'd, In
hot haste, and felt all 3rorp1 urtii he
touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding.
Then, taking another thread along
with him, as precautionary measure,
he ran out to the fork and sprang upon
it.
At this point he found out his mis-
take. He retreated for a short dis
tance, and stopped to survey this new
buzzing creature which should have
been fly, but strangely unlike any in
sect he had ever seen. At length, ap-
parently convinced that the object at
the outer edge of his web was more
suitable for amusement than for an
article of diet, he got on it again and
danced with pleasure. 1t was evident
that the sound of the fork was music
to him.

Speaking of Bells telephone, it is
not generally known that he came
near losing all his English patent rights
and would have done so, but for most
remarkable piece of luck. At the time
of the telephones invention Lord Kel-
win was in this country and he took
back with him to Scotland one of the
crude Instruments which Bell had
made, intending TO exhibit it to his
college classes as an American curl
osity. At that time the transmitter
had spiral spring on the upper side,
and while the model was knocking
about among the scientists baggage in
its journey across the ocean this spring
among the scientists saggae in its
journey across the ocean this spring
somehow got bent upward. When
Lord Kelvin came to give the prom
ised exhibition the thing would not
work, because the spring was bent Up
too much. 1t Is almost impossible to
believe, but it is nevertheless fact,
that 1t never occurred to the giant in
tellect of this great scientist to press
that spring down again and he had to
apologize TO his audience for the fail
ure of the much advertised expert
ment. A publication previous to ap-
plication for patent is a bar in Eng
land, and when the great trial to settle
the validity of the Bell patents came
up over there it was sought to prove
that there had been no publication in
this lecture because the model would
not work. Had Lord Kelvin pressed
down that little spring and shown
those Scotch laddies how the telephone
worked it would have cost the Bell
company many millions of dollars and
made telephones very cheap in Eng.
land.-New York Sun.

The Discoverer of Johannesburg.

In sense, the discoverer of Jo-
hannesburg, says the London Chron-
icle, was the late Sir Hercules Rob
lnson Uord Rosmead). Riding over the
primeval Rand during his first sojourn
IN South Africa, he suddenly said to
his companions: There's gold under
meath here, and plenty of it, too, if
I'm not mistaken" He had previously
been an Australian Governor for seven
years, and his keen eye had detected
certain superficial geological indica-
tions that carried his mind back to
the gold fields of the Antipodes.

A Persian Book Store.

In every big bazaar certain number
of shops are set apart for the sale of
books. In these one finds the booksel
ler-in his long, dark, outer mantle and
high, black, lamb's-skin hat-seated on
the floor, surrounded by his little stock
in trade. The front of h.3 shop is open
like butchers, while his books are
either arranged in shelves against the
three walls or in heaps upon the floor.
His collection usually consists of litho-
graph editions of Korans, school books,
favorite poets and historians, but the
assortment is limited Besides those,
hidden away in a corner, he often has
one or two manuscripts which he has
either bought as a speculation or is
trying to dispose of for Il friend.-The

were far too fearful of losing heir

Where King Arthur Was Slain.

Lovers of our literature will assuredly
not be backward in assisting to relieve
the distress caused by the almost de-
struction of the little Cornish town OF
Camelford, because of intimate cen
nection with the Arthurian tale, says
the Westminster Gazette. 1t is not
only that King Arthur's traditional
.astle of Tintagel is hard by, but that,
according to no less an authority than
Leland, the famous antiquary of the
lays of Henry VIII. liking Arthur our
Nector was there slaine."
Camden of l1lizabethan times was not
10 sure on that point, though he ad-
nitted there were "certaine verses in
IN unknown Poet living in the middle
line, of Cambula" the river
Camel-howing with blood, shed in
battell of Arthur against Mordred;'
1ut he cautiously added: "ln very
iced mot to deny this of Arthur
nave read In Marianus, that the Brit
ons and Saxons fought in this
oloudy battel, in the yeare of our Lord
S23, so that this may SCENE a place
,onsecrated to Mars"
This kind of hedging" however,
was not consonant with the idea OF
he contemporary historian Carew,
Who with precision declared that "A.
}. 525, upon the river of Camel, neere
Camelford, was that last dismal
,attel strooken between the noble
King Arthur and his treacherous
iephew Mordred, wherein the one took
lis death the other his deaths wound"

TEA AS AN ACTIVE POISON.
Its Characteristic Element Kills Cats and
Rabbits in a Laboratory.

Rabbits in a Laboratory.
Tea tippllng has become the fashion
able dissipation. We have borrowed
600 pounds of tea is consumed each
year in the United States. women with
overtaXed nerves are the great con-
sumers.
DR.. J. II. Kellogg declares that tea
Is an active poison-that its active
principal, substance called them,
which can be distilled from tea in Il
dry report, is fatal to life.
The them in tea is about per cent
of the total bulk. Experiments have
proved that about neeighth of grain
of it will kill rabbit and IL grains
will kill cat. In one pound of tea
there is an ounce of poison-enough
to kill so cats.
Ten grains of thelm will make q
man i'll and a half ounce of tea con-
tains from 10 to 16 grains.
Professor Lehman, German ply
sician, gave several men from eight to
10 grains of them each by way of eX-
pertinent, None of them was able to
work for two days.
There are tea drunkards. There
have been cases of delirium tremenS
from tea drinking. By chewing tea
leaves people can become thoroughly
intoxicated.
The woman who is tired takes cup
of tea and is relieved of her WEAKNESS.
ID,,t l,n - nj a
danger signal. Under the influence of
a stimulant she does not know when
she goes beyond the limits of safe
eXertion. Tea is a drug, not Ioo-.
Not only does tea contain no nour-
ishment, but it interferes with diges-
ton. The craving for it is not nat
ural-as is the desire for food. Taste
must become vitiated by its naDlLual
use before it becomes an apparent
necessity. Children drink it for the
cream ALI. sugar, older people for Lne
effect.
Every one knows that tea contains
tannin. Add little iron to tea and it
becomes black Tea made in an iron
kettle is as black as ink. Even SUR
ring u strong cup of tea with an iron
spoon will make it turn black Inc
combination of the tannin of the tea
with iron makes ink. Leather Is
made by soaking hides in decoction
of bark which contains tannin.
A man who eats a beefsteak and
drinks cup of tea starts a leather
manufactory in his own stomach, for
the tea, combining with the connect
i've tissue of the steak, soon trans
forms it into strong leather.
To prove this, soak a piece of beef
steak in a cup of strong tea for hail
an hour. At the end of that time the
steak will be so tough that it will be
impossible to chew it,
Not only is tea n hindrance to the
digestion of fats and albuminoids, but
it prevents the digestion of starch.
Saliva digcsts starch, and the tannin
contained in tea hinders the produc-
ton of saliva.
The 3 o'clock tea table has become n
social evil. The prevalence Of tea
drinking is due to the fact that women
are trying to do more than their
strength will permit. When uneir
energy is exhausted they turn to tea.
But the habit is spreading among
men.
If that were not the case the con-
sumption of tea in this country would
not amount to about $9000,000 per an
num.-New York Journal.

Irrigation Is of the utmost impor-
tance in Persia, as cultivation depends

1t has been suggested that artesian
well manufacturers might find an ex-

The application of scientific irriga-
tion methods has recently given a new
development to rice culture in south
western Louisiana, as explained in
bulletin of the department of agri-
culture. Rice requires wet lands, but
on such lands harvesting machinery
cannot be used. The difficulty has
been met by flooding the dry prairie
lands during the growth of the rice,
and then draining them by system of
pumps, canals and levees, when the
crop is nearly ripe. On the drained
sands it Is possible to use reapers to
harvest the rice; thus the cheap labor
employed in foreign ricegrowing can
be met by American machinery.
The application of the turbine prin-
ciple to the motor machinery of ships
has achieved another triumph in the
case Of the British torpedo boat de-
stroyer, Viper. At recent meeting
of the engineers at the Royal Insti-
tuition in London some interesting
facts concerning the surprising speed
of the Viper We're discussed. On ner
second preliminary trial she attained
a speed of 355 knCts, equal to nearly
Al statute miles per hour. This is as
great speed as that of many express
trains, and If it could be developed in
great passenger ship and maintained
continuously would cut down the time
needed to cross the Atlantic ~ about
three days. When running either
slowly or at top speed the Viper eX-
periences little vibration, and it is an.
ticipated that she will eventually sur.
pass her own record.
The balloons used by the English
