POLICE COURT DoINGs
Given 12O Days in Jail for Being a
 Common Drunkard.

The fire in John Walsh's apart ments at the corner of Bridge and Pemberton streets last evening result ed in landing him in the police station, charged with drunkenness and being 9 common drunkard Officer McNiff found him lying in the rear of the house in which he lives apparently sleeping off the effects of over indulgence. nrevi- Ously he had been on the Warpath for a number of Arabs who live near him, and one of them gave him a black eye. He blamed the Arabs for causing the fire, whereas it was himself upset the kitchen stove. Walsh made his usual statement of being a victim of circum- stances and he was sentenced to 120 days in jail. From the sentence for being a common drunkard, sixty days in jail, he took an appeal under bond of $50.
 An apparent cripple, who answered to the name of Frank Baldwin, de- nied he resisted arrest, but admitted he was drunk. Officer O'Hearn stated that he found Baldwin 1imping around at the junction of Grand and South Main streets and when told to move along he dropped his cane and buckled into the officer as strongly as though he had a dozen legs. He was lame no longer. He fought all the way to the station house. A. fine of $5 and costs was imposed for resistance and sen tenee was suspended for intoxication.

A PLAUSIBLE INVENTION.

Latest of marvels is the telegraph one, which was tested Saturday III tne office of w. A. Rosenbaum, 1n the Times building, and the experts pres ent professed astonishment at what it can do.
 It is an electric photograph. IL can be placed at the end of a tele- phone connection and in the absence of any one to answer the call can re ceive the message from the other end of the wire. It can also deliver any message the absent telephone SUD- scriber cares to leave.
 One of the records exhibited Satur- day was from Boston. It had talked over an ordinary long-distance tele- phone into the telegraphone. The rec ord. was put in and the cylinder start ed going by means of it's clockwork attachment.
 Hello, New York" sounded the in strument loud and clear. This is Boston. How are you all in New York, and how's my old friend, MT. Rosenbaum? Hope you are having better weather there than we are here. Been raining three weeks. Well, good-by."
 This record had been sent last week. Another record was exhibited from Chicago. Charles A. Brown, a Chicago patent solicitor, was at the 'phone-that is, he had been the day before-and the photograph repeated everything he said with faithful ac- curacy-a telephonic description ot the telegraphone.
 For instance, MT. Smith, telephone No. 9,999 John, is called out of the city. He expects one of his clients te I,f, 6 portant matter So he talks into the telegraphone, using his ordinary tel ephone and switching it on the other instrument
 Hello. MT. Brown! This is MT Smith," he says. I'm going out o1 town over night, but just talk into the phone what you learned about that matter we were discussing and I'll attend to it the first thing in the morning.
 Then the client talks away and the faithful telegraphone records all he has to say. Next morning MT. Smith has MT. Browns message bright and early by switching the telegraphone on to the telephone receiver.
 "This new apparatus differs from the ordinary photograph" said MT Rosenbaum, "in being electrical, where the phonogfapn IS pufely mecnanlcal. The records are taken on cylinders covered with a spiral of steel wire, the magnet magnetizing the wire with varying degrees of intensity in accord ance with the tones spoken into the transmitter. Then to reproduce the sound it is simply necessary to adjust the magnet to the reproducing device and the spoken words come out clear and strong.
 'When a subscriber wishes to leave his telephone he simply turns the switch and the ringing of the bell starts the telegraphone working. It will deliver message or receive one. It is also photograph pure and sim pie and also dictating machine
 The inventor is Valdemar Poulsen, a Dane. It is patented in the United States.

EASTMAN THREAT
Finally Admitted as Evidence
 in Murder Trial.
SRvENMoNTHsBEFoREMU
It Was Uttered in Presence of Grogan's Government, However, Must Show Evidence of Continued III Feeling Between the Men = Grogan's Brother Testifes.

Cambridge, Mass, April 30.-The court to-day decided the question raised yesterday by counsel for Charles R. Eastman, the defendant in the mur- der trial ill progress here, as to the admissibility of evidence of a quarrel between Eastman and his alleged vic tim, Richard Grogan, Jr, seven months previous to the shooting of Grogan on July I, 1900, by ruling to admit the evidence. provided the government would show evidence of continued i'll will between the men up to the time of the shooting.
 John Grogan, brother of the dead man then took the stand. He said Eastman would not ask Richard Gro gan for the use of a carriage in April 1899, telling witness that Eastman and Richard were not on good terms. Wit ness described a quarrel between the men in November. 1900, when Grogan told Eastman that he was tired of feed ing Eastman and his family. East man was in the act of raising a chair when witness put his foot on it and stepped between the men. Eastman withdrew saying to Richard Grogan: ,'I will plug you if have to wait five years for this" Eastman repeated this declaration twice.

rr.,ss.....s tne sca pfrds,


 It is reported that as many as 15,. 900 birds were shipped from New Orleans to a single New York house in one year, and that this is not an exaggeration is indicated by the fact that that year a shipment of 2,6OC gulls and terms from Morgan City La, was stopped at Baltimore by the efforts of the American Ornitholog. ica1 union. Proceedings were begun against Dumont & Co., the consignees, under the federal and state laws pro- hibiting the killing and traffic in sea birds; and the case was decided in favor of the union. But while the union was successful in securing the passage in g states of laws protect ing the sea birds, at least in the breeding season, it was unable to in- duce the Louisiana legislature to aid. It has accordingly determined to try to accomplish the same results in an- other way. To that end, it has ar ranged with Prof. George E. Beyer, of Tulane university, the representa- tive of the union in Louisiana, to pro- test the sea birds by game wardens, and to drive of the hunters where tAey violate proper rights.-N. I. Sun.

K. OF c. SEASON BOOK DRAWING
To Be Held Tomorrow Night in City
 Hall.

The general committee which had in charge the fair of the Knights of Co lumbus announce that tomorrow even ing the drawings will be made for the $1 ,000 in cash which is to be distri- buted among the holders of season books. The drawing will be made at 9 o'clock in the City hall, and admis- sion to the hall will be free.
 It was found impossible to have this drawing made with the other drawings on Saturday evening because of the fact that there were so many books out which had not been heard from. The committee were aware that in some cases books had been sold and the cash had not been returned, while in others 1eeway of a few days was desired, so that it was thought better on all accounts to have the drawing made this week. Wednesday night, therefore, has been chosen for the drawing, and the drawing will posi- lively be made at 9 o'clock. Mean while, any persons who may desire to enter the competition are at liberty to buy books up to the hour of the drawing, and they can purchase them from any of the committee or other Knights who have them for sale.

SUCKING COAL FROM wRECKs
New Industry That Promises Large
 Rewards to the Promoters.


 Bridgeport, Conn, April 30.-The Sound and Coast Wrecking company will next week begin raising coal from sunken boxes and barges all along the sound. The submarine boat Ar gonaut aHd the lighter Celtic have been equipped for steady work, and the company expects to market several hundred thousand tons of coal before the recurrence of cold weather. Last summer and fall the Argonaut made number of cruises along the bottom of the sound and accurately located coal wrecks of which its owners had heard from boatmen. A great number of these have been abandoned by the own CTS of the coal, some of them having been in the water for years. The DOW erful electric pumps of the Argonaut sucks coal out of a sunken hulk at the rate of sixty tons an hour, and as the operation of the craft will be the only expense of producing the coal, for which market can be had in any port. the company is confident of im- mense profits from the first years work It's original intention was to contract for work on wrecks, but the possibilities of profits from the aban- doned coal wrecks between Hell gate and Montauk point have determined 1t to make the coal business it's chief interest for the present.

The Trouble Arose Over a Suggestion
 as to How to Manage a Horse-All
 Arrangements Were Made to Fight
 When the Law Was Read to One of
 the Seconds-He in Turn Read it to
 the Principals and as Result No
 Lives Will be Sacrificed.
 Chicago, April BOA local paper says: A duel was to have been fought next Saturday, the place to be decided upon by the seconds and to remain un- known to even the principals until the hour of combat. The principals were Maurice Heilmann, French vice con sul of this city, and Dr Hals SchwegeI, Austrian consular attache and ex- lieutenant in the Austrian HussarS The trouble grew out of an early morning canter ill Lincoln park
 Heilmann's horse did not act prop erly and ne resented Dr SchwegePs interference. When SchwegeI returned to his uqarters>he decided to challenge Heilmann to fight and requested Arch ftect Hertz and Lieutenant Faulbinger of the Austrian army to act as his sec onds. The challenge was written and dispatched by the lieutenant. Heil- mann accepted and chose as his sec onds Prof Ange of the University of Chicago, French department, and Harry J. Furber, Jr, lawyer.
 All the details had been arranged when the matter came to the ears of Baron de Fleish, the Austrian consul. He decided to try and bring the affair to a termination. He acquainted Henri Merou, the French consul, with the preparations being made for combat by his attache and. the two cast about in their minds for a reason able way out of the trouble. They de- cided finally to call on Heilmann's second, Harry J. Furber, and he in turn called meeting of principals and seconds This meeting took place. Hardly were the men seated when Furber announced that duelling in Illinois was crime and that if the affair proceeded any further he would notify the proper authorities. The principals were dumbfounded at the unexpected turn of affairs and protest ed yehemently and indignantly. MT Furber, however, was firm. He clted to them the law of the state and hnal- ly peace was agreed upon.

HE OFFICERS ARE WEAK
New Appointees in the United
 States Army.

Strength of the Army to Be Increased
 to 75,OO0 By August 1.-The Weak
 Spot, and a Drawback to the Plans
 of the Administration, is the Incom-
 potency of Some of the New Men
 Appointed as Officers.
 New York, April 30.-At the war de- partment, says Tribune special from Washington, it is said that efforts are being made to have the reorganiZed standing army fully oficered and equipped and enlisted to the strength of 75,000 by August l. More appre- hension is felt over getting the full quota of competent line officers by the date mentioned than over the recruit ing of the fifteen new regiments. Elk cept for this it is probable that Secre- tary Root and Adjutant-General Cor bin would have accompanied the presi- dent on his western trip. On the law of averages it is estimated by experi- enced army officers that fully one third, and perhaps half of the 360 or more appointees for first and second lieutenancies, originally designated by the president, will fail either on men tai or physical examination. In order to meet this exigency lists of alternates by states are being prepared by the secretary of war and adjutant- general. Fn order to expedite the work of dis posing of the hundreds of applicants already selected by the president, See retary Root and General Corbin will appoint dozen or more boards of ex- aminers to sit in various parts of the country.
 Announcement also is made by the war department of the final decision to retain in the service the two battal- ions of native Porto Rico troops which are offcered by Americans.

 Out.
 A. meeting held Sunday afternoon or Division ,, A. o. H.. a cl11h was organized for the revival of Gaelic sports and pastimes in this city. Of iate this kind of entertainment has ueen very 1nfrequent, so much so that IL may be said to have died ont a1to- gether The young men of the di- vision of the A. o. H. in question were aware of this and decided to make an eHort to revive it. It took them some tune 10 make showing, but they are certain they have succeeded at last. Ine club consists solely of members Of the division and it will be known as the Gaelic Athletic association of Wa terbury, and in time it will become affiliated with the national branch of that organization. The following were elected officers. William F. Moher. captain; John F. SheehaH, vice cap- tain; Patrick Flaherty, secretary and Patrick Grove treasurer. A football team will also be organized and a game will be played with the Torring- ton club at the picnic to be held here on Decoration Day. The Gaelic ath- letic clubs of New York have written encouraging the local branch with ad- f1CS dlIu II H6CeSSdIy, H1lduCe. slu0 Fifth division also has for some time been discussing the advisability of opening school where the Gaelic language can be learned It was thought at first that 2 teacher could be engaged by the division and the proceeds from the class be devoted to the requirements of the division and the rifle company attached to it, but this was found impracticable, as it ne- cessitated the outlay of considerable funds at IAe start. But a young man from Massachusetts presented himself before the division and during the week a meeting will be called of all those who may find interest in the re- vival of the Gaelic tongue. The young man does not want his name published for the present. When the first class is organized he will reveal his iden- tity.
