IT DOESN'T PAY.
Government Telegraph in England
Shows q Deficit.

London, May 11.-Henniker 1Ieaton,
Conservative, in the house Of commons
today drew attention to the annual loss
of 900 pounds in the telegraph serv-
the government took over the lines, and
asked how the government proposed to
remedy this.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the chancel-
Tor Of the eXchequer. admitted the cor
rectness Of the figures The reason of
the loss was that the public was more
eager for rapid communication than the
revenue warranted. Unpr0ductive ex-
tensions must be discouraged. Mr..
Heaton also asked If the government
was prepared to lease the telegraph
lines to a private company The chan
cellor of the exchequer did not reply.

MIsHAP TO sTEEPLE JACK.
G. Brockholst Has Narrow Escape
From Death.

New York. May IA man dangling
75 feet from the ground. head down
ward, at the end of a rope attached to
f1agpOle, attracted a great crowd at
Second and Adams street, HOboken. to-
day. He was Charles BrOckholst, aged
so years, a ''steeple jack" who had been
employed to paint the pole, which
stands at the corner of the streets.
Brockholst is an old hand at the BUSH
ness, but he made some misstep today
while erecting his rigging at the top OF
the pole, and plunged head first toward
the ground A shout Of alarm went up
from the crowd which was watching
him. As he fell, however. his foot
caught the moose of a rope which
formed part of the rigging and he was
brought to with a jerk and hung sus-
pended with his head toward the
ground. Someone had sufficient pres
ence of mind to turn in a fire alarm,
and truck No. . soon arrived. The fire
men ran up an extension ladder and the
"steeple jack" was brought safely to
the ground.
