CANADA TO RUN
DOMINION WIRES
Proposes To Buy Telegraph and
Telephone Systems and
Manage Them.

NEW YORK, Feb. "A special to
the Herald from Toronto. Ont, says:
The Dominion Government has prac-
tically taken steps to purchase the teie-
graph systems of Canada, extend them
enormously and operate them in con-
lnection with the postoffice department.
1t is also proposed to follow a similar
course with the telephone, but in the
case of the latter municipalities will
be licensed, as in Great Britain, to OPP
crate the system within their own
areas. The question of the absolute
control of the Canadian telegraphic
service has long been discussed, but not
until the present liberal government
came into office has it been possible to
talk purchase. With a surplus running
from $4,000. 900 to $1,000. 900 for 1900 and
1901, and prospect of an equally large
surplus for 1901 and 1902, the plan seems
| feasible.
The great desire of Canadian states
men is to see cables owned by Great
Britain under the Atlantic and Pacific
| joined at each ocean to wires owned
iby the Dominion, crossing this country,
and thus practically girdling the globe
1 by a cable absolutely under imperial
control The business men of Canada
are unanimously in favor of the
scheme.

the boat may be readily taken picked
up by floating dry dock. Mr.. Cavan-
agh's scheme provides for the erection
| of two piers, one on each side OF the
| Maine, about twenty feet wide. and
| their length to be equal to that of the
vessel. These piers are constructed Of
heavy oak piles for foundation and a
| flooring of hard pine. No difficulty Is
anticipated in the work of driving the
| piles, as there is no tide in Havana
| harbor, and the place where the Maine
lies is sheltered from almost every
wind
The piers being built, the next step
is the construction of the lifting appa-
| ratus, a combination of Jacks. string
twenty five in number, and each capa-
BILE of sustaining a weight of ESQ tons,
are placed in position across the piers
and above the wreck. They rest on
stringers extending the length of the
piers. Beneath the stringers, having a
firm bearing on the tops of the piers,
the jackscrews are placed. Heavy
chains run from the trusses under the
wreck. if there is opportunity SO to ar
| range them; if not, they are made fast
to different places
When the jacks have run out their
full length they are removed, one by
one. as in the ordinary way, their
louHOdliOtlS dIt Uult up vi Which, lllCy
are reset, and then the lifting process
is renewed.
To illustrate the lifting power of the
jacks, a stone tower at Baltic, Conn,
recently raised by them weighed more
than ten tons per square foot, while
the weight Of the Maine when equally
distributed over the surface of the
piers would be less than one-haIf ton.
| There was no great difficulty expe-
! rienced in l,fting the tower.
The next step in the successful re-
moval of the Maine is to get it into
the floating dry dock, and will be ac-
complished on the same principle by
! which buildings are moved.

In his "Recol1ections Of Missionary

Brady says: when my little son could
scarcely walk. took him to the cathe-
dral one day, when Iereturned for, some
thing I had forgotten after morning SER
lvice. I left the child. in the nave, and
when I went back to him he had adj
ivanced halfway up the middle aisle, and
was standing where the sun threw d
golden light about his curly head. A
tiny object he was in that great church.
1t was very still. He was looking about
in every direction in the most curious
and eager way. To my fancy he seemed
like a little angel when he said in his
sweet, childish treble, which echoed and
re-echoed beneath the vaulted roof: Pa
pa, where's Jesus? Where's Jesus?' He
had been told that the church was the
house of the Savior, and on this, his first
visit, he expected to see his Lord. That
baby is quite grown up now. Not in the
/ faintest particular does he resemble an
angel The other day, when I rode off
to the wars, he astonished even me with
this request Papa, If you get wounded,
don't forget to bring me the bullet that
knocks you out: want it for souve-
mir for my collection Fortunately for
me, il unfortunately for him, 1 brought
him no bullet"

THE ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.
the Friedberg Poisoning, and
There May Be n Third.

st. Louis, May Alma Fried berg
the five-year- old daughter of Mrs
Fannie Friedberg, the woman who
committed suicide Sunday night, after
first administering poison to Alma
and her scven-year-old sister Emma,
died Monday afternoon. Physicians
worked constantly with the child up
to the hour of her death. She passed
away in the greatest agony.
The other child, Emma, is in a dan
gerous condition. and grave fears Gre
entertained for her recovery. Physi-
clans are in constant attendance upon
her, and she is kept walking continu-
ally, to ward off the effect of the
drug. Arthur Friedberg, husband of
the dead woman, is prostrated with
grief. He talks constantly of his be-
reavement and refuses all consola-
ton.
1t is learend that the proba bic
cause of Mrs. Friedberg's act wes
temporary insanity, induced by un-
grounded jealousy of her husband.
For several months the woman be-
care for her and loved some other
woman. This belief caused discord in
the household, which terminated in
the tragedy.
Arthur Friedberg is 40 years old,
and has always borne the reputation
of devoted husband and a man of
exemplary habits.
According to his story. he took sup.
per with his wife and family Sunday
evening and went cut to visit a friend
at seven o'clock. He returned at nine
o'clock and knocked at the door, but
his wife refused to admit him, and
threatened to shoot him unless he left
Immediately. Friedberg argued with
her, and tried to persuade her to open
the door, but without success. Finally
giving up in despair he departed.
Emma Frledberg says that her moth.
er was very much excited all evening
especially after the incident with heI
father. just about bedtime Mrs. Fried
berg sent Emma out to buy some ice
cream. When the child returned witt
the confection her mother went into
the kitchen with it, locking the dool
after her. 1t about ten minutes she
called the children in to eat some ice
cream.
There were three saucers upon thu
table, each one heaped with tn,
cream. Alma and her mother quickl,
ate their portions, but Emma say.
something restrained her from eat
ing hers. Mrs. Friedberg insisted tha
she should do so, and she swallowed
few spoonfuls. Presently Mrs. Fried
berg went into the front room ano
fell upon the bed unconscious, anc
Alma was taken with violent yom
iting fit.
Emma, terror-stricken, ran into tn,
street screaming for help. Neighbor
rushed into the house and medical aiC
was summoned. Immediately upoI
the arrival of the doctors it was dis
covered that the woman was beyonC
assistance, and all their attention wa
devoted to the two little girls.
A search of the premises disclosed
that bottle of cocaine and one of NOR
phine, which were kept in a medicn,
chest in the kitchen, had been emp
tied into the ice cream.

Gov. Longino had written a letter to
n.B.v. White, of Meridian, in an
er TO inquiries, which was given the
blic on the date of the last interview
tween the governor and Mr.. McInnis
April 23d. In this the governor said;
4I do not recall the use of the word
II in nv conversation with Mr.. Mc1n-
but if perchance 1 did, in an un-
barded moment, make use of the in
ecant expression, it certainly had no
ference to Mr.. Davis, the Confederate
lterans or the Daughters of the Con-
deracy, for all of whom | have ever
Stertained that respect becoming a
kuthern gentleman. l have, for

bportunity presented itself, paid trib-

kllantry, patriotism and devotion to

BRING from the legislature an increase
