KEELY'S SANG FROID.
The Motor Faisir's Presence OF Mind
Did Not Desert Him at
Amy Time.

81 was we'll acquainted with the
late Pre-. Kecly, of Keely motor
fal1c," said Philadelphia business
man who was spending a few days in
this city, relates the New Orleans
Times Democrat. land | recall lit
tie incident that illustrates his Won
derful sang froid and presence of
mind. 1t was in the fall of '99, if
remember rightly, that a crisis was
reached in the affairs of the motor
company. Keely wanted more money,
and the stockholders, whose suspi-
cions had been aroused by an expose
in New York technical journal, de-
clined to put up unless he made
satisfactory answer to the charges.
The upshot of it was that he invited
everybody interested to be present at
grand demonstration and while
/ didn't own any shares myself,
was included as the representative of
relative who had invested rather
heavily. On the appointed day some
25 or 80 of us gathered at his shop,
( and he began an elaborate exhibition
of his apparatus. He set a lot of
strange machinery into furious mo-
ton, with no other apparent power
than common tuning fork, and
finally led us to an immense brass
globe, surrounded by a ring of small
contrivances that looked like cleo
trical armatures. At the other side
of the room was a glass jar half full
of water, in which one end of a
slender copper wire was submerged.
He attached the other end to one
of the armatures, sounded note on
a mouth organ, and the big globe be-
gan to spin around. Keely explained
that it was moved by atomic at
traction ! am no scientist, but
had vague suspicion that there was
mething wrong with the wire, and,
acting purely on the impulse, | picked
it up and bent the slack at right an
giles Instantly the globe began to
slow down; but Keely saw me and
was at my side .in a bound. Good

wire out of my hands and hastily

stammered. You were interrupting
the atomic vibrations he replied
and in half a minute enough arrested
power would have accumulated al
that point to have blown us all to
atoms' His voice trembled and his
demeanor was so impressive that my
blood ran cold. During the rest oi
the demonstration I let the apparatu:

the premises were thoroughly exam

and other apparatus was fully dis
closed. What seemed to be wire

has spiritual amelioration in view.
The pontiff concludes with exhort-
ing Catholics to inspire themselves
with these principles and to inculcate
them. They must urge the people

Topeka, Kas., Jan. 26.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation caused a great furry among
the "joint" keepers of Topeka tonight
and was roughly handled by a mob.
Mrs. Nation arrived in Topeka at
$40 o'clock, and Immediately hunted
up newspaper reporter, with the re
quest that she be shown some of the
leading "tonts" of the city.
The newspaper man volunteered to
pilot heraround. She said she did not
wish to begin a smashing crusade, but
wanted to talk to the 'jointists. "
The keepers of saloons had been ap-
prised of her intentions, and when she
arrived at Ed Myers Joint on Kan
aas avenue, she was confronted by the
wife of that individual, who rained
blow after blow upon her head with
broomstick, while Myers stood by and
encouraged the effort,
By this time crowd of thousand
people gathered, among whom were
numerous sympathizers of Mrs. Ma
tion. Nobody attempted to interfere
and soon the "jointist's" wife stopped
her assault. Mrs. Nation said she was
not hurt by her experience in the
least
What does a broomstick amount
to-" she inquired, "to one who has
been so much used to rawhides. rocks
and rotten eggs? That woman should
be Immediately arrested, though.
Where is an officer?"
A policeman then appeared He
started up street with Mrs. Nation,
all the time being followed by hoot-
ing jeering rowdies whose sympathies
were with the jointkeeDers.
Mrs. Nation at last found refuge in
the editorial rooms to the Topeka Cap
ital. She asked how many joints there
ed that there more than ahundred she
threw up her hands in horror, and said
that such a condition must not las;
any longer. She added
Il would go out against these joints
tonight II l had some women to &c
with me. But / will rest for day OF
two. Something will be done here
yet. You may count on me-"
Mrs. Nation then inquired where
she could go to swear out warrant
against the woman who assaulted her.
Policeman Luster volunteered to takS
her to the city attorneys Office where

UNDER HIS WIFE'S NAME.
How n Discarded Writer Continued
to Sell His Literary Pro-
ductiOnS.

"A brief marriage notice, which
ran across recently in northwest
ern newspaper, reminded me of a
very curious story" said an old re-
porter, who likes to prowl through
the exchanges, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. "A good many
years ago, when | was mere youngs-
ter myself, one of the star hack writ
ers in the profession was man
named-well, call him Nawton, which
is near enough for the purposes of
the yarn. He was phenomenally
versatile chap and could do almost
anything from a leading editorial to
a column of jokes; but he had a
most cantankerous disposition, and,
what was worse, was confirmed
dipsomaniac. He was tolerated for a
long time on account of his eXtraor-
dfnary usefulness, but between his
sprees and his quarrels he was event.
ually barred in almost every office
in the northeast. With that he lost
his grip entirely, had brief career
as a drunkard and then gad.cn,y
disappeared from view. 1t was V glc-
ly reported that he had been hurt
in a runaway accident and died in
some hospital, but nobody took the
trouble to inquire. AS it atterward
turned out, he had received spinal in
juries that made him cripple for
life, and at the time he was sup
posed to be dead was slowed away
in back bedroom of a cheap board
ing house in Boston. His mind was
as active as ever, and, as he was in
desperate straits financially, he con-
ceived the ruse of grinding out some
copy and getting his wife to sell
it, under her maiden name, as her
own production. He coached her
thoroughly for her interviews with
the editors, and the scheme worked
to charm. To my certain knowl-
edge they lived in that way for eight
or nine years, and during the entire
time the secret never leaked out.
Nawton's infirmities had broken him
of the drink habit, but he remained
a bed-ridden invalid, paralyzed in
both legs. He used to scribble his
matter on rough paper in bed and his
wife would make a careful copy, after
which she would take or mail it to
the publishers. He wrote sketches,
verses, essays-a little of everything,
in short, and / think his incognito be-
came eventually sort of monomania.
Anyhow, he took extraordinary pains
to preserve it, and even now the facts
of his latter life are known to but
very few. He died suddenly in 1894
or 1895, and his wife went out west
to her parents. The publishers to
whom she had been selling manu-
script for so long couldn't understand
why she suddenly ceased to write,
and tried to persuade her to keep on.
In a modest way she had built up
quite a reputation. Although there
have been plenty of cases of market
ing manuscripts through a third par.
ty, L think this is the only one on
record in which the mask was kept ur
for any length of time. 1t was Mrs
Nawton's wedding notice | read the
other day. She has married some
wealthy business man of Minnesota"

THE FOsBURGH ACQUITTAL.

Those who have followed the testimony in
the trial of Mr.. Fosburgh for the murder OF
his sister in Pittsheld. Mass. are not sur
prised that the presiding judge directed the
jury TO bring in a verdict OF acquittal.
Since Conan Doyle began TO write his re-
markable detective stories. in which the
criminal Is usually some unthought-of per-
son. a class of detectives seems TO have
attempted TO put into practice the theories
Of that eminent romancer. There was no
rational cause for the fixing of the murder
of Miss Fosburgh upon her brother. The
Fosburgh family was held in respect in
one of the hest communities In New Eng
land. If not wealthy the family was we'll
to-do and had been brought up in a refined
and moral community. That d brother in
such a family should murder his sister
there must be a powerful m~otive-some
thing far greater than a family quarrel.
The prosecution did not present any motive
whatever for the unnatural crime which it
tried TO fix upon the brother OF the victim.
beyond some allegations of quarrel which it
did not sustain.
The only fact the prosecution had was
that the murder was committed with a
pistol which belonged TO the brother. The
fact that the pistol was found near the
spot where the murder was committed
would seem to be evidence that it vas not
used by the brother. since. IL he had fired
the shot, his first act thereafter would have
been TO conceal the weapon. 1t seems that
after the officers failed to trace the bur-
glars they felt that their official reputation
was in such jeopardy that they must put
forth a theory which would indicate their
sagacity. So they shocked the community
by attributing the rhine to the brother
and working up all the evidence they could
to sustain their assumption. In this they
miserably failed, but under other conditions
In a less conservative community the broth
er might have been convicted and the fu-
ture of a family blighted. Before even an
arrest should be made for sucn an unnat-
ural crime a motive for such a deed so
powerful as TO SWEEP away every doubt
should be established.
