DUPLEX TELEPHoNING.
Can Converse simultaneously
over the Same Wire.

Chicago, Dec. 2s.-A practical sys-
tenn of duplexing telephone wires, by
which, using an auxiliary telephone,
conversations with two persons may
be held simultaneously on the same
wire, has been adopted by the Chi
cagO Telephone Co., and instruments
for its operation viii be put in i'm
mediately at many of the big stores
and i'll offices where the use of the
telephone is heavy. The auxiliary
telephones viii, as a rule, be used for
incoming messages, but they are so
arranged that the calls may be made
at the same time that the main tele-
phone is in use. superintendent
Hubbard said Thursday that the plan
had been thoroughly tested and
proved a success. By its use a heavy
saving III the running of wires will
be made, besides more than doubling
the capacity of the telephone service
by firms using it heavily.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 29.-N. Schel-

the presence of a number of persons
interested in the progress of science,
shocked cat apparently to. death
and when the heart of the animal had
long ceased to beat Mr.. Schellinger
reversed the current Of electricity
and the shock restored the heart
beats, although they were very fee
bic at first Within two hours after
the cat had been pronounced dead.
it had been restored to the fullness
Of life and vigor and was as playful
as ever.
The current was kept turned on un-
til there was no possibility of doubt
of the fatality. Several physicians
examined the cat and all agreed in
pronOuncing it dead.
In five minutes more an alternat-
ing current of low power was started
and in the course OF a few seconds
the heart action commenced.
Electrician Schellinger says there
is no doubt in his mind that any per-

by an electric shock can be restored
if intelligent action is followed on
the lines adopted by him Friday and
ii the victim can receive such atten-

New York, Dec. 2S.-TweHty mad
dened female prisoners in the Ray
mOnd street Jail, Brooklyn, rioted
Thursday and fiercely assaulted Ma
trOn Fannie Handy and Warden Nc
Grath. There was no attempt to es-
cape. The riot was the consequence
of nothing but i'll feeling. Miss Han

from one corridor to another in the
woman's section when she was at
acked by Nellie Jones, a powerfully
built woman who had been sentenced
to 10 days for intoXication. Miss
Handy was felled. Nineteen other
prisoners then assaulted her. While
the blows rained thick upon her head
and body she managed to reach a
push button that rang a bell i'll the
warden's office.
Warden McGrath rushed to the
WOman's department without wait

tered tn corridor he diverted the at

they jumped on him. The blows were
fast and furious, and McGrath went
to the floor. Hat pins were brought
into play, and his face, head and
neck were gouged.
Miss Handy made her way through
the crowd and again rang the alarm.
The sheriff, under sheriff and five
deputies replied. They had much
trouble in subduing the women, but
succeeded, and two of them were
placed in straight jackets. The 9TH
ers were put in separate cells, and
then the prison physician was called
to attend the wounded warden and

The PROPOSED PEACE
The Emperor Kwang Su Objects to
Some of the Terms.
At a Conference 1t Was Decided 10
Hold Further Communication
With the Court Before
Seeing the Ministers.

Picking, Dec. 2S.-H Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, the Chinese peace
commissioners, have heard from the
emperor, Kwang Su. Prince Ching
called on the former for consulta-
ton, remaining over an hour. The
court objects strenuously to reducing
the forts and also to allowing pePma-
nent legation guards, which, it seems
to think, could be made sufficiently
large at any time it was desired to
menace the court itself. After the
conference it was decided to hold
further communication with the
court before seeing tie ministers.
Shanghai, Dec. 2S.-The Chinese
newspapers here object to the pro-
posed peace terms. The Universal
Gazette considers that the princes
and officials who are to be punished
should be named. 1t is questionable
whether Gen. Tung Flu Hsiang is in
cluded among those punishable, and
so far as Prince Tuan is concerned,
it is well known that the Chinese
peace commissioners have been in
structed not to consent to any pun
ishment of any person of royal blood
exceeding Imprisonment.
Some of the native journals hold
that the presence of permanent lega-
ton guards will render the en-
peror's return impossible, because
these would ZEE a menace to the
court. China" says one of them,
would be powerless to suppress ris-
lngs because prohibited from increas-
ing her military strength, and the
powers, therefore, would renew hos
tilities again and the people would
be moved down like hemp

Hsu. He is 15-year-Old boy who

to return to Peking.

About the same time George BesSSe
driver of an oil wagon, reported
at the station that a pouch, ripped
open and empty, was behind an oil
tank a short distance from the sta
ton. The trail of the thief was
marked along the railroad track by
strewn letters, checks and drafts.
Most of the mail was intended for
the J. b. Ford Alkah Co., of Wyan-
dotte, ard clerks were sent out to
collect the letters. j. B. Ford, jr.,
