AN ENTERTAINING LECTURE.
Prof. Smith on the Marvels of Mod
ern Electricity"

Prof. Louis Henry Smith, of the Chair
of Physics at Davidson College, deliv-
red Il highly entertaining lecture at St.
'Mary's School yesterday evening on "A
Few of the Marycls of Modern Flee
tricity" Prof. Smith is one Of the most
versatile and enthusiastic scientists OF
the State. Il fluent platform speaker and
Il popular lecturer every where he goes
The marvclS of science are as Il plain
tale to him and his story OF what has
been done with electricity in recent
years, from soaring burglars TO driving
cotton mills, is little less marvellous flian
the performances of the happy possessor
of Aladdin lamp.
Among the first wonderful inventions
mentioned. and one of which little has
been heard by the generality, is the au-
tomato telegraphic instrument now be-
ing perfected in England by two Ameri-
can scientists who failed in their own
country t get the requisite support and
encouragement This instrument sends
1000 words a minute with perfect accu-
racy, the transmitting and receiving be-
ing done automatically. When perfect
ed it will reyoutionize telegraphy, par
ticularly where long dispatches are to
be sent. The speaker referred to the
bucket forge" in common use in ma
chine and blacksmith shops in solne
places whore iron is heated to the fusins
Toint if desired by merely thrusting it
into bucket of cold water, to the lib
rary of Cornell University where Their
members placed in the alcoves automat
itsllly govern the heating apparatus. and
to the hundred and one applications OF
electricity to heating, cooking and light
ing
Prof. Smith is an enthusiastic believer
in the value of the automobile. both as
a means of travel and as long stride
toward better sanitation in the cities.

Winchester Thursday night from Ha:

she retired to her room.
Yesterday morning she failed to ap-
pear for breakfast, and at IL O'Clock
was found apparently dead from as
phyxiation. She had used her gai-
ments aud newspapers to stop all the
crevices around the doors and windows,
removed the tip from the gas burner,
turned on the cock, and lay down
on her bed 10 die.
After an hours hard work she was
! was revived aud is now out of danger.
She refuses to explain her desire for
death. She is about twenty. eight years
old and says she comes from Chicago.
She minutely describes her symptoms
as the gas rendered her unconscious,
and wonders that eleven hours in the
room failed to cause death. She turn
ed on the gas at midnight, she says.
"Mrs. Smith" admitted later having
followed man named Stubbens there,

MAD GALLOP FOR HER LIFE.

~~~~
Miss Minnie Harmon, one of the
prettIest giils In Shamokin Hills, Pa,
after shooting herself with revolver
on Wednesday evening and becoming
scared over her effort to kill herself,
made sensational ride over the hills
to where her brother was blowing In a
field. She urged the horse to it's ut
most speed to reach her brother, 30
that he could hurry for q doctor to
stop the flow of blood from large
wound over her heart.
As she rode over the crest of small
hill and saw the farmer 200 feet dis
tant, she threw up her hands, after
feebly beckoning 10 him, slid from the
back of the blood-stained horse and fell
in a heap on the ground, while the
horse ran OD.
The farmer rushed to where his sister
ley senseless. He hitched the horse 10
a drag.sled, ard, with his sister in bis
arms, drove to the homestead. DR.. K.
G. McWillisms, from Shamokin was
driving past the place at the time. He
stopped the flow OF blood, but was un-
able to probe for the bullet, owing to
the critical condition of the girl, who
has been sinking steadily ever since the
shooting, and will pot recover.
She had quarreled with her sweat
heart, William Hine, last week, since
which time no reconciliation had been
effected. She was desperately in love
with the young man, prominent resi-.
dent of Shamokin Hills. Since the
shooting he has been rendered inconso.-
able and is constantly at the side of the
dying girl, who says she is sorry she
shot herself.
Miss Harmon Is 10 years old, and is
one of the most popular residents Of the
Shamokin Valley.
