Il depicts the adventures of one Spike Hem

vailed upon to act as the millionaire father
Of a supposed heiress. This part Is taken
by Edmond Hayes. He Is ably assisted by
Dorothy Neville as the actress who Is ap-

English lord. There are some catchy songs
interspersed at proper intervals and in the
third act opportunity is given for the spe-

Il see that the War Department is
growing because Gen. Chaffee's kilograms
get mixed up in transmission" said New
Orleans steamship agent, according to the
New Orleans Times Democrat. Mr. Root
will probably become used TO that sort
of thing if the Eastern situation is pro-
longed. The telegraph lines in China are
all owned by the government and oper-
ated by natives, and the way that a Chi
nese telegrapher can muddle and mangle
the plainest English message amounts to
positive genius. Very few of them speak
our language, and they simply pick out
the letters as best they can and tick
them off mechanically, which is bound to
result in all sorts of amazing blunders,
particularly if the cablegram is 'relayed'
through different offices. In that connec
ton, an English friend of mine tells an
amusing story. He is a partner in a big
machinery house that does a good deal
of business in China. and some time ago
it became necessary to cable their foreign
representative some special Information in
regard to an important contract. The
agent was at Foo Chow, and the message
was sent to the consul there, via Hong
Kong, being relayed or repeated, about
midway, at Annoy. 1t ran thus: Tell
Day (the representative to close first
bid" That seemed clear enough; but the
fiOnS hQng operator must nave given d
some astonishing finishing touches. Any
how, it was received al Foo Chow in this
shape: Tuesday glucose fur bed OF
course both Day and the consul took it for
granted that the thing was in cipher. but
when they tried to figure it out by the
mercantile code, Tuesday meant will
leave for home by next steamer and the
word fur stood for exchange has risen
Il to per cent.'-Two interesting pieces of
detached Information but scarcely ger
name to China or the machinery business.
Neither glucose nor bed were in the
book. They puzzled over the message for
a week, and finally gave 1t up as bad
job, and, in the meanwhile, the contract
went by the board. The firm has both the
original and the transmitted messages
handsomely framed hanging in its London
office as an Oriental curio and a warning
to have nothing to do with the Chinese
lightning singers. If Mr.. Root could
feast his eyes on that ornament for awhile
he might become more philosophical In re-
gard to slight inaccuracies in Chaffee's
communications"

Hanna's wit Saves Him.

A young woman, handsome, of distin-
guished appearance and fashionably at
tired, reached Republican national head
quarters yesterday just as Senator Hanna
and Treasurer c. N. Bliss were preparing
to leave for the day, says the New York
Times. She espied them and hastily APP
preaching, she grasped Senator Hanna by
both hands, regardless of his cane, and
exclaimed:
why, Senator Hanna, how do you do?''
Mr. Hanna seemed astonished but
quickly recovering himself said:
Really, madam, you have the advan-
tage of me-"
why, Senator, you don't know me !?
Why, l am Adele Marie Rique. not a
pamist, but an art anatomist and you
promised me at the Arlington Hotel in
Washington that you would furnish me
with a cast of your hand to study
"Oh, yes, 1 remember" replied Senator
Hanna, with resignation.
Can / get il now?''

am in hurry and / am not feeling

can I get it tomorrow"

ooh stop that" said Mr.. Bliss.
Eyes. you have. Bliss, and you know
it," rejolned Mr. Hanna.

tered the elevator. remarked to her:
