Nicola Tesla's Che Square YIea,

Thomas Edison used to have Nicola Tesla working for him in his studio near Paris, relates the Chicago News Tesla came to him one day asking for work, and Edison. who needed help. referred him to the foreman, named Fulton. The latter took the young foreigner on condition that he would work This Tesla did. For three days and nights he never closed his eyes. At the end of the first fortnight he had not had forty-eight hours sleep altogether, and Fulton, the foreman made him take rest. He also said to the young man that on ac- count of the strain both had been under they would better have a good meal. Ac- cordingly the foreman and the student went to well known cafe in one of the boule- wards and got one of the biggest and thick est steaks possible. It was enormous, and seemed to be overwhelming for two. Be- sides, the garnishings were liberal and there was enough good wine. Between them, however, they managed to make everything disappear, and then Fulton, turn ing to Tesla, asked hlm if there was any thing else he would like. You're out with me- you know, and whatever you want, just order it." Tesla looked vaguely around for a minute, as if making up his mind, and , then, hes1tatingly said: "Mr. Fulton, if you don't mlnd, I would like another steak"

wagner's Sense of Keen Humor

When his energy was not expended in his art work, it found vent in many humorous sallies. writes Gustav Kol1b, of Wagner, in the Forum. have already related how he stood on his head for Praeger. That was physical humor. But he was also fond of joking. He once quoted his teachers re- mark that he would never learn to play the piano. But" he added, "I played a great deal better than Berioz" The wag- gishness of this remark lies in the fact that Berlioz could not play at all During a rehearsal of the "Rienzi'' overture in Dresden the trombones were too loud. In- stead of rebukng them angrily, he said with laugh: Gentlemen, we are in Dres- den, not marching around the walls of Jericho" After "Tannhauser'' was brought out German composer of little note, named Chellard, said that the 'tSong to the Evening Star" was wrongly harmonized
 and suggested certain harmonies which should be substituted for those employed by Wagner When Wagner was among friends it was one of his favorite diversions
 to seat himself at the piano and sing the Song to the EverGng Starr la Chellard

LIVES wIrH ELEVEN HOLES IN HIM

H From the New York Sun.
 The Estcourt, Natal, correspondent of the Sun says:
 "A remarkable incident is reported in con- nectlon with the charge of the Devons up Wagon Hill in the fighting around Lady, smith on January 6. Lieutenant Masterson was ordered to cross the fire-swept zone and deliver message. He was hit by three bullets, but struggled on and delivered the message, which was very important. The lieutenant is doing well, although there are eleven holes in his body"
 The above apparently confirms the state mnts of Sir William MacCormac as to the comparative harmlessness of Mausedr bull let wounds in any but vital spots. The "11 holes" from three bullets may seem strange but one bullet going through the arm and then passing in and out of the side or back would make four holes.

The rapid advance in January cotton shows how scarce stocks are. The crop will fall considerably under nine million bales It will probably not be over eight and half million. This will give us eight cents or more.'

"Want to Win" Republi.
can sSay There Will (
Be No Union Ticket. I

The Wilmington Correspondent Of
the Philadelphia Record to-day
said: "Want 10 Win" Republicans
seem to be greatly puzzled by the
Developments of the last week. They
declare the whole solution of the
question Of harmony is "up to the
Addicks men, and that if the Ad-
dicks people propose to hold con-
| vention on the same day that the
| Regulars do the situation will be-
come only the more complicated.
Some Of the "want to win" men pro-
less to believe that it is not the in
tention of the Addicks men to hold
convention on February q, but
they are only talking for the sake
OF stirring up trouble.
The Union Republican organs
and leaders are practically mum on
the manifesto of the Regulars de-
nouncing Addicks and his scheme
for harmony.
Those Union men who, however,
are not so high in the party ranks
are loudly proclaiming that the
Addicks party will fight it out sing
ly and alone and that there will be
straight Union Republican ticket
from top to bottom at the next cleo
ton. They declare that Addicks
would carry every district in Kent
and Sussex County with possibly
two exceptions, and with his hold
ing over Senators and some he could
pick up in other directions, he
would be certain Of controlling the
Legislature.
Just what William S. Hilles pro-
poses to do is also agitating the
Republicans of all factions. "Want
to Win men like H. G. Knowles
are outspoken in denunciation Of
the plan of Mr.. Hilles to call a mass
meeting of citizens to declare for
harmony. They say this would
simply mean that the Addicks men
would try to act under the Hilles
banner and would expect Mr.. Hilles
to bring them support from the
There would then be
three factions in the party instead
Of two.

admitting the situation is mixed,
say there is still hope OF the party
Uniting on State and county Off
.ers.
