from her Infancy, and yet has won
her way into Rsdcliff College at the

saw . gleam of light, nevertheless
when called upon the other day by
her classmates she was able to de-
liver sbort audible address She
spoke slowly. and her voice was un-

dent that she had mastered the
principle of spoken thought This
young woman's career is truly one OF
the wonders of the century. Not

she is now studying languages and

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.

Keyser, W Va, Dec 2S-One of
the most disastrous accidents in the
history of railroad building in this
section happened q. Baker Camp,
near Du.bin, Pocahontas county. on
the line of the Coal aud Iyon railroad
now building out from Eiklna
Ae toe result of the dynamite ex
plosion Elk men are dead and several
others are not expected to live The
accident happened yesterday at noon
while the men were at dinner Some
dynamite had been placed about the
stove to thaw out, and shortly after q
terrific explosion wrecked the camp:
killed three men outright and injured
eight others, three of whom have
siDce died
The dead men were blown into
atoms, legs, arms and hands and other
parts of their bodies being found in
different directions from the little
building in which they lived among
the mountains. Physicians hurried
from the Greenbank aud worked all
night with the wounded, some OF
whom begged the doctors to shoot
them instead of helping them to live
to be blinded or manned for life On
account of indirect connections with
the camp it is impossible to secure
the complete details to night.

Large Flowers For Late summes

Large Flowers For Late Summer
Hats.
1t is not considered extravagant to
decorate 8 hat with FIVE or six clematis
blooms, each measuring four inches OF
more across. Sometimes they are cho-
sen all Of one shade, but the most eff
fective arrangements are in graduated
shades Of mauve and lilac or mauve,
lilac and white. Other goodly sized
blossoms that some milliners are affect
ing are the arum and Japanese lilies.
The first is shown in white and yellow,
sometimes with a black pistil, or in
black with yellow pistil; the second in
white only. The most approved meth
Cd Of arranging them is to lay them
along the edge OF the brim, whereas
the blossoms Of the clematis are gen
orally grouped at the side against the
crown or urturned brim- Some few
miliiners affect taste for sunnowers,
but as in its full blown condition this
is rather garish looking it is inflated
in its earlier stage. when the petals,
just unfolding, exhibit their under
sheath Of green caly1.
None Of these flowers are mounted
with their own foliage. Iris leaves
knotted in bows or otherwise after
the manner Of ribbons or else in the
form of couteaux come IN nicely as an
addition to such decoration. II these
leaves are considered too dark. rib
bons are substituted.

Records Straight or Scratched Bal
lots and In Absolutely Secret.
The voting machine is. primarily. a
counting machine, or rather a COM
bination of counting machines. It con-
asts of three parts-(D the keyboard,
with one key for each candidate, and
mo-a yes and no. key-for each
question: (2l the counters, one for
each key. ana C@ the interlockins
mechanism. which limits the number
Of keys that can be operated in any
enc Office s,roup-the candidates Of all
PARTIES for one Office. The machine is
operated by small gate or lever
which swings in both directions. 1t is
unlocked By the movement Of the S2te
In certain direction before the voter
indicates his ballot on the keyboard,
while q movement in the opposite di-
rection casts the ballot indicated ?nd
at the same time resets and locks the
keys
When a ballot IS cast. it is counted
at once By the voter himself, for the
total vote Oh the counter for each can
hdate is advanced one step by the
act. The voting is done in the privacy
of the booth, and when the keys OF
the machine have been reset for the
next voter the identity Of the preced-
ing ballot is destroyed. Consequently
the secrecy OF the ballot is absolutely
assured. Not only is the voting OF
straight ticket q simple affair, but the
mechanism is. so adjusted that a
scratched ticket can be voted as easily
as If the voter were marking ballot
with his pencil. He cannot vote for
more than 4 specified number OF can
didates. because. when the full vote
has been cast for any group Of candi-
dates, all the remaining keys Of that
group are found to be locked, and when
al, the ballots have been cast every
key on the machine has become i'm
movable.
Again. the machine is supplied with
levers which may be so adjusted oy
The judges Of elections that the voter
cannot cast ballot which he is not en-
titled to vote. For example. in certain
localities failure to pay the poll tax
ltsbars the citizen from voting on QueS-
Mons involving the expenditure OF
money, as well as for certain candi-
dates. When one appears who has fail
ed to pay this tax. he will find the re-
spectiye keys locked against him. Ut
Houid be an easy matter to provide
each machine with nickel in the slot
attachment. 80 that each delinquent
eaad pay his poll tax at the time OF
voting, if be wished) Another lever
bcla the keys ct candidates for which
woman is not entitled to vote. The
machine has also free ballot device,
which permits the voter to exercise his
constitutional right to vote for candf-
dates who have not been nominated by
any party.
When the judges declare the polls
closed. the gate is locked fast in its
outward position. and by this means
sa the push keys are locked, so that
there can be no tamperang with the
machine or any further voting.-"Vot-
