A PERPETUAL LIGHT.

George p. Magrady Claims to Have Dis

the Problem of Perpetual Motion =
Cannot Govern the Light.

George P. Magrady, a Chicagoan,
claims to have invented a perpetual
light. He thinks the millennium of
illumination is at hand Every house
will have an equipment of perpetual
lights in beautiful globes. which will
burn day and night, year in and year
out, and shed a brilliant glow Without
ceasing. Leaking gas jets will be a
thing of the past The disagreeable
duty of cleaning kerosene lamps will
be only a memory and a tradition.
Every family will have supply of
porcelain or glass globes, each one OF
them tiny sun, throwing out
strong, beautiful white light from
within The globe will be something
of mystery, for it viii have no con-
nection with any wires, and 1t Will
require no refilling or attention. IL
will be sealed Theoretically, and it's
contents will probably be concealed
from sight, but by shaking it one may
be- able to ascertain that there is IL
quid inside.
Cannot Govern the Light.
There will be no way of turning the
light down or of turning it of. 1t may
be put in closet in the daytime OF
hidden under a hood, but it will GO
right along putting in "a hours work
every day. The inventor says it will
continue to do its very best SO long
as the globe remains sealed perfectly
even though that should be for years
The secret of the perpetual light is
combination of chemicals in vac
uum. The chemicals are four or five
in number, but Mr. Magrady declines
to give further information as to theil
identity until the patent office ha:
passed on his application for a patent

Elias Hatfield, Jr., one of the
famous family of feudists of that
name, liz dying with consumption at
the State penitentiary at Mounds
VILE. He is there serving a sentence
of twelve years for the murder of
"Doc" Ellis on Norfolk q West
ern train in Mingo county, about
three years ago, and his health is
said to be in such condition that
he cannot live but a short time.
Elias was one of the bravest members
of the famous family of fighters and
took part in most of their battles
with the McCoys of Kentucky when
the feud was at it's height. The
State Pardon Board, in the session
at Moundsvillc, has recommended
his pardon on the ground that to
keep him in constant confinement
wonld cause his death, and unless
the Governor refuses to act upon
their recommendation, his first act
of executive clemency will be to
pardon one of the Hatfelds. Tx.
Acting on the recommendation of
the Pardon Board, Governor White
last Thursday pardoned Hatfield, the
pardon being conditional-on his
future good behavior.

4 Psn-PIeturs Of eeyssssr White,

The following character sketch of
Governor White, by Charles b.
Smith, will be recognized by all who
know the Governor as true to life:
white is a modern man. He is
up-to-date, active and young. He is
hustler. When he walks he goes
so fast that an ordinary walker has
to run to keep pace with him. He
Is quick, nervous and at times i'm
pulsive. He makes up his mind
quickly and almost Away finds
himself doing the right thing for
himself and his friends. He is a
business man and a newspaper man,
and has pretty general knowledge
of the law, although he has never
especially studied it. He is
what would be considered a Young
man. He ls ambitious and he is
shrewd. He wears sack coat and
a derby and rides bicycle, because
he wants to "get there" He has
friends by the score and enemies,
too. A man like White will make
both. He is gritty fighter, never
giving up, and that is what brough,
him the success that he has had in
political life. He is tireless worker
fond of travelling, and spends bis
money freely on those who apply to
him for assistance. Indeed, it is said
by some of his friends that he is ex-
travagant, but he would probably
deny this charge. In short, White
is typical public man of the modern
school"
