THE ELECTRIC WIRES.
An Electricians Opinion Of the Man Who
Monkeys With Them.

It's funny" said one of the electri-
clans of the city, now some men will
go out of their way to monkey with cleo
trio wires" Then he proceeded to tell
Of 4 case that had just come under his
nitice. building was going to be
moved and some of the telephone wires
We're i'll the way. The company was
notified and agreed to have the wires
changed before they interfered with
the operations. 1t was more of a job
than it seemed to get the wires out of
the way. But they bothered the work
men. They evidently didn't like to see
them swinging over their heads. SO
they rugged a continuance on the top
of the building and managed to twist
them off. Perhaps they knew there
was a 2OOO-volt wire in the vicinity that
meant death to the man that got too
didn't. Anyway the wires came down
heller SHELTER into the street.
The 2G00 as it is commonly called was
somewhere in the tanGle. but fortu-
natcly it was not in contact. But the
telephone wires came down across
some light wires and dangled in the
street. The telephone wire was rusty
so it soon sawed through the insula ton
on the light wire and made a cOnneC-
ton. The current was strong enough
to seriously injure child, but a strong
man could stand it pretty well. One
of the worllmen seized the loose end
and began to pull as if it were a bit
of rope. The Juice" had been monkey
ed with enough SO it began to take
vengeance. 1t took that careless work
man in grip that knew no breaking
and danced him around like bare
legged boy under whip lash. The
can-can and some rag time selections
with few samples of buck and wing
dancing were executed with more vigOr
than grace. 1t was up and down the
center and eight hands sound without
music or prompter. The street was
wet so the connection was good. The
man couldn't yell and he couldn't let
go. lie could simply dance. Finally
he landed on the dry concrete of the
sidewalk and the grip was broken with
snap that landed him on the green
grassy grass of lawn His hands
were a sight. and he felt for several
hours as if everything in him was
tied upAin a knot. When he began to
regain Ais senses he WONDERED how a
telephone wire could have all that
kick inS t. If the 2o00 had happened to
be in tn mixup he wouldn't have been
able to do even that.

4 LIVELY CHASE.
Howard Yeo. Who Is Wanted III Madison. Siirs
Up Shawmut.

There was more excitement in Shaw
NUT. Tuesday afternoon. than there
has been before for year. Deputy
Sheriff Harding came down from Mad
ison in the morning after a man by the
name of Howard Yeo, who is wanted
on the charge of attempting to seduce
a small girl in Madison last May. AS
soon as the man knew he was suspect
cd of the charge he left town and the
officers have not been able to locate
him since. a man who knows Yeo and
who was i'm Sha wmut recently. saw
him. and on his return to Madison in
formed Mr.. Harding. who started after
his man at the very first opportunity
Yco Was at work on the log pile
above the mill and the officer started
up the railroad track after him. A
man in the mill who learned what was
going on started as soon as the officer
was out of sight up the track and go
ing by another path reached the pile
first and informed Yeo that the officers
were after him.
Yeo didn't wait for any further de
velopments bat made n break for lib
crty that came very near being sue
Cessful He followed the bank of the
river down and went through under
both mills and out among the houses
below and thence Up acrosG the fields.
He was tracked Cor Il distance as he
wore cork shoes. but when he took to
the fields the trail was lost.
About 4 dozen men began the search
for him and kept it up until little
before, noon without success Officer
Harding offered 4 reward for the cap
ture Of his man and most thorough
search about the mills. the adjoining
houses and fields was made.
The officer was watching Yeo's
boarding house as they believed he
would certainly show up there. He
was at length found hiding in the long
grass of field near by and was rout-
ed out. He started to run again but an
officer pulled a revolver on him and
soon brought him to terms. He was
taken to Fairfield on the afternoon
train and later to iikowhegan on No.
Is. where he will be given a hearing
on the charge against him.
The man is well known in Shawmut
as he has worked for the company for
some time. No one knew Of the charge
against him. however and when it was
learned, there We're some pretty strong
opinions expressed.
Wallace Jewell was the man who
routed Yeo out of the grass and who
received the reward offered. for his
capture. After losing his man as NJ did
officer Harding was determined not to
go back to Madison without him.

ancc al Washington.

Washington, July S.-The position Of
the British government relative to the
various mining, railroad and other con-
,c.gions In the Transvaal Is fully di5-
closed In Blue Book covering this
subject which has just reached Wash
inEton The subject is Of the very first
importance to the state and war de-
partmcnts. rs some Of the most troub-
Icsomr and wcighty problems now
confronting them arise from claims OF
various Conccs, ionarics in the Philip-
pines, Porto Rico and Cuba. Great
Britain's course may establish Nalu-
abb. precedent. Moreover. the most i'm
rurtant of the concessions in our in
sular possessions and in Cuba are
claimed by English corporations.
The issue was made last September
wien Sir Alfred Miner, the British
high commissioner. promulgated the
celebrated order. - of 1900 giving no
tee that the British government re
serves the right to decline TO recos-
nizc or IL modify any concession made
by tho late South African republic
without proper legal authority or con-
tIary to law or the conditions Of which
have not been duly complied with. or
which appears to effect prejudicially
the interests Of the republic"
Tic British government appointed a
commission to pass upon the whole
subject. This commission has made an
exhaustive report set out in the Blue
Book II lays down some important
principles one interesting statement
is this: "On the first Of September,
1900, Her Late Majesty annexed the
territories and obliterated the sover-
eighty Of the South African republic.
1t is clear that a state which has
annexed another is not legally bound
by any contracts made by the state
court Of law has jurisdiction to enforce
such contracts if the annexinE state
refuses to recognize them
The commission also asserts the right
To- examine whether the rights which
ii is asked to recognize have in fact
been duly acquired point of interest
in the Cuban cable controversy. 1t
accepts Sir Alfred Miners most i'm
portant suggestion in the declaration
that the new government is justified

sion when the maintenance Of the
concession is injurious to the public in

The divorce Of Henry NJ. Flagler the
multi-millionaire, granted by a Flor.
ida court on the ground Of his wife's
insanity, and his subsequent marriage
to a woman not half his age. is a lis
grace to Christian civilization.
1t is a disgrace to the judiciary that
granted the divorce and to the social
ed Christian minister who performed
the marriage ceremony.
While this infamous old bigamist is
essaying to convince his fatuous old
heart that his young bride has married
him for love and not for his money
the wife Of his early manhood watches
the fading light from a window Of a
New York insane hospital repeating
over and over, It's getting so dark.
I'm sure my husband will be here i'm
a few minutes, il youI wait"
Ihe unfortunate woman was a Phil
adelphia belle when Flagler married
her, promising to love, cherish and
protect her until death. She was a
loving and devoted wife, never giving
her husband cause for complaint Her
mind failed, whether through her hus.
bands cold Indifference or not Is not
known. The haste with which ne cast
her aside in her afliction indicates
that his love for her was not very
strong. God pity the bride that mar
ries an old man for his money, and
God pity the man who thinks he can
buy happiness as he bought his bride.
He will soon learn to his sorrow that
happiness without virtue is impossible.
And when the final messenger, with
the inverted torch, beckons him to APP
pear before the throne Of a just and
merciful God the wan pale face Of his
discarded wife sitting at the window
