What did | do next?" he said In
telling of his work. "Well. l spent
all the time l could for several weeks
around with bricklayers' masons. |

they showed me how to build a wall.
In short time thought could build
wall myself, so went to my lot and
practiced.
"Thc first wall | built was very
poor excuse for what thought could

practice | made much progress, and
considered myself a inason-a good
enough one to suit the requirements

But when. got to something | had

Ward is self-suflicient reticent sor,
of man, and he never told any of his
neighbors any of his plans. Conse
quently, when they saw the little man
whom they knew only as telegram
operator, don a pair of overalls and
begin the building of his 'practlce'
wall, they looked on him as ''pecu
liar" But this did not bother Ward
any, and he kept right on building
the practice wall and tearing 1t dowr

TREASURER
Is Short Thousands Of
Dollars.
Aged Official OF a Mill Makes a
Confession.

Boston, July 31.-With the announce,
ment of the assignment of the Dudley
hosiery mills at Newton Upper Falls
came n report in financial circles of the
misuse of notes of the Bowker Ferti-
lizer Co. to the extent of $4,000 by
Treasurer Henry c. Coe of the hos
iery mills, who also had been treasurer
of the Bowker company.
The report affecting Mr.. Goes finan-
cial administration was confirmed by
Frederick Higginson, who succeeded
him as treasurer of the Bowker COM
pany three weeks ago, he stating that
Coe had confessed to the officers of
the Bowker company that he had TAX.
en- the money represented by $120,000
in notes. Mr.. Higginson added that
it was yet impossible to learn from
the company's books the exact sum
lost. 4lg
Mr.. r. S. Gorham, counsel for the
company, said that no action had been
taken against Coe, and that he did not
know what the future would bring
forth. Mr.. Coe is between 90 and 7G
years of age and he claims that he did
not profit personally by the transac-
tions, the money going .linto the Dud.
ley hosiery mills of Newton Upper
Falls. Coe was under bonds of $4,000
through n bonding company.
The attorney of the Bowker com
pany said tonight that Goes transac
tions had nothing to do with the recent
amalgamation of that concern with the
American Chemical Co., its chief com
petitor; that it was simply coinci

Telegraph Operator Is Building
a House All by Himself

Chicago, July 30-For eight hours
every day Charles Evans Ward oper-
ates a wire and receives" at the Pos
tai Telegraph office in the Stock FIX
change building. During his leisure
hours he employs his time building
brick house. He has successfully COM
bined the trades of telegraphy and
bricklaying and carpentry.
A small brick house, well construct
ed and bearing the marks of skilled
mechanic, away out on Jackson st.
an extension of jackson boulevard
near the end of the Garfield park
branch of the Metropolitan elevated
railroad, is evidence OF what Ward
can do with the trowel and the level.
Ill health, Ward says, has been re-
sponsible for his making the discovery
that he can build as well as he can
send messages over telegraph wire.
Eight months ago he knew nothing of
the brick masons trade. Up to that
time he had never had trowel In his
hand. Now he can put up n wall that
would satisfy the requirements of the
building department of the City Coun-
Gil.
Several years ago Ward bought a
lot at 472t Jackson ST. Last fall his doe
tor told him he would have to get
much outdoor exercise or he would

Ward decided TO build a house. He
knew nothing about carpentermg or
masonry.
but why can't learn?" he said to
his wife. 'Such work would be just
the kind of exercise | need"
Ward had just 500. That would
not build house to he sure, but II
would buy the brick for foundation
So he started TO build his house
With the $50 he bought several loads
of old brick. The trowel got to be a
familiar article-as familiar, almost
as his telegraph key-by the time he
had the mortar of these several thous
and bricks they were ready to be pu
into the foundation.
But how could he make a founda
tion. He didn't know how to mi,

BRIDGE
Over the Little
Cuyahoga.
The Proposition Again
to the Fore.
Il May Be Pushed TO a Success
full Issue.

The movement toward the building
of n bridge over the Little Cuyahoga
river from Cuyahoga st. to Howard
st. has again taken form and Is being
pushed in connection with the prop
osition for the construction of the
sewer in Cuyahoga st. Some who
signed the petition for the sewer now
say they did 80 with the expectation
that both bridge and sewer were men
toned therein They now want the
bridge built, or else no sewer, but
principally both are desired.
Plans which have been prepared for
the proposed bridge make its cost $lO,-
900. They call for 5O-foot span,
seven feet above the present water
line. The grading Of streets to the
established grade to make the ap-
proaches to the bridge will mean fill
of one foot at Otto ST.. n fill of 31a
feet. 250 feet east of Otto ST., and a
cut OF 31a feet $50 feet west of the
river. The north river bank Ia on the
present established grade.
The proposed bridge is to be Of con
crete with steel bars therein, with ce'
ment walks and brick flooring. City

WAS TRULY GREAT.
Never Was There a More Successful
Excursion Than This.

Next stop is Akron. Everybody
get his shoes on!'
This cry was that Of deep-voiced,
genial conductor on an Erie train Wed
nesday night about pm. The train
stopped shortly afterwards and
crowd of rather tired, but nevertheless
happy picnickers from the hardware
mems, stove dealers, lumber dealers
and plumbers excursion hurried out
of the train, well pleased with the day
spent at beautifuk Conneaut lake with
its pretty, well-kept lawns and various
attractions.
The train which carried the picnick-
ers to Conneaut lake was not one of
the usual take-sidetrack for everything
trains. In fact, the run from here to
the lake was made at express rate
speed. Only one hitch occurred. That
was at Freedom, where the train was
held captive for 30 minutes for an Erie
fast mail that was two hours late. Be-
yond Orangevile, a distance of four
miles was run in four seconds less
than four minutes, and the Akronians
attracted much attention, especially
after they crossed the threshold of
the keystone State. Even the cows
in the fields stood and stared open
mouthed as the train rushed by.
And all got back to Akron all right.
In fact, they could not have been lost,
for the committee had prepared card
In anticipation Of such a misfortune.
The following was the inscription on
tho card: ship to Conneaut Lake in
Care Of Hardware. Stove Dealers and
Lumber Lealers, of Akron" On the
| reverse side: after having good
| time, return to Akron, Ohio"
And all returned to Akron, Ohio, safe
and happy and tired.
| There was no dearth of music. The
Eighth Regiment band, whose playing
on the veranda of the hotel was greet
ed by hearty and prolonged applause
from the Pennsylvanians,w was forced tc
share honors with an Italian orgar
| grinder and his red-garbed monkey
on the train. On the return trip the
monkey and the organ had cleal
field in the musical line.
The program of sports at the picnic
furnished much amusement and grear
and hotly contested events. The firs
number was ball game between tn,
hardwaremen and the lumber dea lers

Quarantine.
Claim Americans Are Shown

Washington, July 31.-According to
recent utterances in the Spanish FIJI
ipino press of Manila, It appears that
the Fllipinos do not take kindly to the
strict quarantine against cholera that
mas been put into effect by the Board
of Health. They complain that undue
strlngency has been employed, that
discrimination Is made in favor Of
Americans, and that in some instances
native families under quarantine have
actually suffered from hunger, under
whnt seemed to be unnecessary cir
cumstances.

the lumbermen about as large as BIB
shot. In the fourth inning, out of con-
sideration for his opponents, he gave
way to Wylie, who also had the lum-
bermen hitting air. Hawkins and Ly-
men were pounded hard by the hard
waremen.
Delenburg, the lumbermen's catch
er. played star game. His cheek was
cut open in the third by foul tip
but he pluckily kept on and played
better than before. Percy Hamlin did
few stunts in the nelghborhood of
short stop and to add variety to the
game attempted to turn handspring
and came down on his back, disturbing
the quietuGe of the waters In the
lake. Smith, who made the first run
for the hardwaremen, amused the
grandstand occupants by sliding to
home plate, unintentionally. in the
mud. He wore duck pants and then
they wern't white any more.
Deputy Sheriff Hamlin handled the
indicator and kept the strong arm of
the law supreme during the game.
But the lumbermcn had sweet re-
venge on the hardwaremen and plumb
ers when it came to the tug of war;
| Three times they pulled and three
times the hardwaremen and plumbers
were easily pulled across the line.
! The third great event of the day was
| the fat mems race. 1t was IL great
contest and while the 100 yards was
done in 9 3-5 seconds, it was exciting
and hotly contested There were five
entries and with the air of professional
sprinters they awaited the word. 1t
came and they were off with the speed
of very gentle breeze. Down the
cinders they came, the hackers OF each
sprinter vying with one another in
shouting encouragement. At the 80
yard mark, John Gross had lead of
six inches. About this time, just as
he was about to make sensational
burst of speed, Hugh Nesbitt lost his
gravity and he was out of the race
But the others kept on. Near the tape

THORNS
Beset the Path Of
Delphi Girl.
Her Fortune and Her Happiness
Are Gone.

Delphi, Ind, July 31-Friends in this
city have been informed that Carrie
Stewart Harris is on her way from
Minneapolis to Delphi, her former
home.
six years ago Carrie Stewart poss-
essed fortune of $25,000, yet within
few months of the time that she
acquired 1t she was penniless and in
distressing circumstances.
Miss Stewart was the foster daugh-
ter of the late DR.. and Mrs. James
Stewart Her name was Carrie West.
Or. Stewart adopted her when she was
years old. DR.. Stewart was wealthy
and Carrie enjoyed all the advantages
that his wealth and position controll-
ed. She was educated in the local
schools and spent several years in col
lege.
| DIR. Stewart died about 20 years ago,
and Mrs. Stewart seven years ago, and
Carrie was the only heir to their es-
tate.
| In 1895 w. p. Harris came to Delphi
as the night operator at the Monon
station. He was married. His wife
and two children lived at Hammond.
Being unable to bring his family to
Delphi at once, he looked about for a
boarding place IN private family.
| Miss Stewart lived alone in roomy
house and Harris succeeded in renting
a room there. Within short time the
actions of Harris and Miss Stewart
attracted the attention of neighbors
and stories were soon afloat Mem
bers of the Episcopal church, to which
Miss Stewart belonged, demonstrated
with her, but she told them her star
had set. She informed her friends that
Harris would obtain divorce and
marry her.
Harris applied for divorce. and
when his wife put in an appearance
she was paid $700, 1t is said. to with
draw. Later Harris and Miss Stewart
were married.
From the very day of their marriag &c
Mrs. Harris's property began to van
ish, At first mortgages were giver
and later the property, was, sold to pre-
vent foreclosure. The little cash bal
ance was used In keeping up cigal
store which Harris had bought Tw,
years ago they moved TO Minneapolis
Ten days ago Mrs. Harris started fo
her former home. Harris died few
days before. She left her children IL
charge of friends and started to Del
phi When last heard from she ha,
applied for board and lodging at polic
headquarters in Evanston, ILL., She ha
no relatives in Delphi, but If she reach

Ways of American DueIists One Hun
dred Years Ago.
The New York Evening Post of Feb
1, 1S02-a century ago-contained the
following:
Yesterday morning an affair of hon
or was settled at Hoebuck, between
Mr. Chandler of Philadelphia and Mr..
Carlisle of Albany. Three shots were
exchanged, and the latter was wounded
in the thigh.
"A second was terminated at the
same place, between two gentlemen.
The particulars of this are vari-
ously related. We give the follow
ing as the most current, and we be-
lieve the most correct: challenge
was given about fortnight since, and
time and place appointed, but no wea-
pons agreed upon When the chal-
lenger came to the ground he per-
ceived his antagonist (who, it is said,
was Yankee) there before him, with
two muskets. This, the Yankee in
formed him, was his mode of fighting,
Offering him his choice of the guns;
the other declined the musket, as not
a gentleman's weapon. The Yankee
demonstrated that it was placing aim
on disadvantageous terms to use Sss-
tolls, as he had never fired one in his
life; but if the meeting could be pos.
poned for a fortnight. so that he might
practice in the meantime, he was con-
tent to use pistols; or his adversary
might take the same time to practice
with the gun, and he would then meet
him with that weapon. The first offer
was acceded to, and the parties met
yesterday accordingly. Three shots on
each side were exchanged; the Yam
KEGS second fire carried away the
others pocket flap, but his third shot
him through the feshy part of both
thighs; and here the affair ended
THE third duel took place in New
Jersey about ten days since. The only
particulars which have come to hand
worth mentioning are that there were
several spectators who accompanied
the parties to the field, and all of
whom, together with the two seconds,
climbed the trees, to be thus out of
harms way while they saw fair play
But, as one of the gentlemen chose to
terminate the affair by firing his pistol
ball passed through the upper limbs of
the very tree where the second OF his
antagonist had taken his post, and
who was so much alarmed at the whist
ling of the bullet that he fell and broke
his collar bone. which was the only
accident attending the exhibition; hap
PLY no lives were lost"
