WATER REVIVED HIS WRIST.
New Idea of Telegraph Operator
Who Had Worked Hard
and Long.

Ahern, the telegraph expert, put
his brawny arm over the launch's
side and let it drag through the salty
water. He had half a dozen report
ers in the launch, all armed with spe-
cials to file at the Highlands of Nave
sink, and after the launch had
slipped through four miles of the
Shrewsbury the operator withdrew
his arm and looked at his wrist, says
the New York Mail and Express.
"There," said he, 81 am good for
10000 extra words" and he rubbed
the wrist in a patronizing way.
Somebody asked him for an explana-
ton, and he said:
81 have found that by placing the
wrist in cool water for half an hour
any operator is able to double his en-
ergy and endurance for the following
II hours. The wrist is the main ma
chinery of the telegraph operator.
Its muscles and nerves are dependent
upon perfect action. This immersion
in the sea is worth considerable mon
ey to the company. Not only can
send quicker, but 1 can send better
and with great endurance"

THE WEARING DOWN PROCESS.
British War Secretary Says 1t VIII be
Carried Out TO the End Of the Strug-

London, Nov. 14.-Mr. Broderick,
the British war secretary, speaking
last night at banquet given in Lon
don in his honor by the Carlton club,
declared that the Beers were hiding
their tracks by numbering Katlirs be-
hind them.
Lord Kitchener wired to-day" he
continued, that the cold-blooded
murder of natives had become fire.
quent of late, and that two dead ma
tives, their hands tied behind their
backs, were found November 10 at
the bottom of mine shaft"
Later in his speech Mr.. Broderick
said Great Britain now had $4,000
Beers in custody in the concentration
camps and on various islands, and
that 1000 more had been killed or
wounded, or had left the country on
parole. He added that the number
of Beers now in the field was about
10000.
"The country has set its teeth and
intends to go through the process of
wearing down." he exclaimed. eve

with fresh troops to replace the tired
ones. Only to-day a certain colony

BARBER'S FASHION PLATES.
There Are styles in Hair Cutting just
as There Are in the Cut
tug of Clothes.

BARRIERS, like tailors, have fashion
plates, and in various suburban shops
the latest plates upon the ways to
wear the hair are now pasted up, says
the Philadelphia Record. The plate
devotes itself to six styles, the legal" !"
the medical" the French" the pro
fessor," the student" and the 'busi-
ness man." The pictures are interest
ing. The "legaP' style shows smooth
shaven young man with his hair cut
very short and parted and brushed up
in a smooth, lustrous wing over either
temple. The medical picture is of a
foolish-looking person with an i'm
mense nose and with light hair parted
on the side and brushed back far off
the brow. The French" shows youth
with his hair mass of small cork
screw curls. The Student" has long
hair, parted in the middle and smoothed
"profes sor" has what is called a round
cut; his locks, that is to say, end at
certain point on his neck in round
ed mass, and beneath this mass the
shaven neck of the professor looks very
white and clean. The "business man"
according to the fashion plate, wears
his hair short at the back and sides
and long on the top of his head, and
his parting is in the middle, this ar
rangement making kind of scallop,
or double semi-circle Of hair upon his
forehead. "What kind of a cut will
you have, sir?" the suburban BARRIERS
now say. "Shall it be medical, legal,
student, French or what?" And they
point with their combs at the fashion
plate and wait blandly for the custom
er's reply.

tors of the PanAmerican exposition

ferred yesterday and listened to the
reading of the financial report of the
company prepared by the auditor.
The report shows the total liabilities

to be $3,326,114, assuming that the
assets of $146,454 are collectable at
face value.
The company owes for operating
expenses and on construction work
S571,945, which item is, of course, en-
bodied in the total liabilities.
An interesting fact shown by the
report is the total cost to the eXposi-
tion company of the exposition. The
cost, according to the report was S.
S6O,575. The total receipts from adj
missions after May 1 were S1,467,066
and the receipts from concessions

A SCHOOL OF CRIME.
Chicago Junk Dealer Is Alleged to
Have sseen Its Teacher.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-An alleged
'school of crime" with nine small
boys as members and James Kolis, q
junk dealer, as captain, has been
discovered in the Ghetto. Kolis and
all his boys were arrested last night.
Warrants were sworn out at the same
time for several junk dealers who are
said to have some of the stolen goods
The boys say that Kolis would not let
them go to school, that he threatened
to kill them if they betrayed him,
and that sometimes he would give
them revolvers and tell them to shoot
anybody who caught them while on
their thieving expeditions.
That certain boys might not be
compelled to attend school, and that
they might nave full time for the rob
bing of houses and the conducting of
a complete course in crime, the death
of Patrolman Francesca S. Capparelli,
a truant officer of the board of educa-
tion was planned. Officer Capparelli,
against whom the plot to kill was
aimed, owes his safety to information
given him by a 6-year-old girl.

UNCLE SAM is NOT LIABLE.
The Government Refuses to Pay ths
Hospital Expenses of Hts Employees.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Mr. Trace
well, comptroller of the treasury, has
rendered decision upon the claims
of Keeper Shields and First Assistant
Keeper McCauley, of the Squaw
Island light station, for medical at.
tendance and surgical services.
On December IA, 1900, Squaw Island
light was closed for the winter and
the keeper, two assistants and the
keepers wife and niece left the island
in a sail boat for st. James, Mich,
Shortly after leaving the island the
boat was capsized by squall. They
all succeeded in reaching the over.
turned boat and were lashed to it eX.
cept the second assistant, who re,
fused to be lashed. About eight
hours afterward the two women dice
from cold and exposure and about
midnight the SECOND assistant, be-
numbed from cold, lost his hold or
the boat and was drowned The fol.
lowing day the keeper and his first
assistant were picked up and taker
to a hospital. Both were terribly
frozen. especially the keeper, who re
quired long medical care.
The comptroller holds that under
existing laws there is no authority
for the payment by the government
of the hospital expenses incurred by
the keeper and his assistant. The
comptroller holds that the govern
ment is under no legal obligation tc
provide for the care of sick or dis.
abled officers or employees.

DIED IN A BURNING MINE.
Five Men Killed and rs Injured I'm
the Baby Mine at Poca h0nlas, w. Va.

Bluefield, w. Va, Nov. f5.-Five
dead bodies have been taken from the
Baby mine at Pocahontas, ". Va. Sew
eral other persons are unaccounted
for and 25 persons have been rescued
more or less severely burned.
At 3 O'Clock Thursday morning it
was discovered that the Baby mine
of the Pocahontas Colliery Co. was
on fire. An alarm was sent in and
the fire company responded promptly.
In short time after the fire fighters
had reached the mouth of the mine
and were attempting to extinguish
the flames, some of the fremen and
others having rushed inside of the
mine to ascertain the extent of the
trouble and to assist the miners en-
tombed therein, a terrific explosion
occurred and many miners and their
friends were more or less injured.
1t is supposed that the mine caught
fire from defective electric light
wire. Five bodies had been recov-
cred up to 6 p. m, and it is uncertain
how many more are dead, though it
is known that there are several, per-
haps eight or ten men, still in the
mines, unless they succeeded in maxi
ing their escape through the Tug riv-
er entrance.
Twenty-Five persons have been res
cued, all more or less burnt, some
seriously and perhaps fatally. The
injured were carried to their homes
in wagons and all the physicians in
Pocahontas were busy all day attend
ing the injured. One or two other
explosions followed that of the early
morning and others are hourly ex-
pected. The mine is still burning,
and clouds of smoke are constantly
issuing from its mouth. The fan has
been stopped and as soon as possible
the mine will be re-entered with hope
Of cXtinguishing the fire.
In 1884 Pocahontas experienced a
like occurrence in which over 100
lives were lost. The dead so far re-
covered are: Louis Woolwine,
John Bernhart, Will Montgomery, NJ
ID. Koontz and an Hungarian named
Urico. Woolwine, Montgomery and
Koontz were killed while attempting
to bring out dead body.
