10 COST HALF A MILLION.
The Diamond State Telephone
COmpany's Peninsula System.

\ string of wire half trailing in the
dust in street in Dover was the begin
ming of the great Diamond State Tele-
phone Company telephone system com
prising now more chan 100 miles of
poles and having more than 1000 phones
on its own lines. This growth covers
period of only IL years
The company was Incorporated i'll 1897
with Il capital stock $a5,OOO 1t did not
branch out extensively until 1899, when
the present Superintendent. Mr.. w. III.
Baker took charge. In that year con-
nections were made with the ID. and A.
line and since that time the Diamond
State has made connections with every
long distance Bell telephone in the
United States.
The company, after rebuilding its own
line, began to reach out for other lines
and THE first purchase made was that of
the Cecil County Line. Since that time
the local company has taken i'll the "B''
Line of Caroline county; the Easton
line; the Dorchester county line; the
Bethel, Sharptown and Laurel line; and
other smaller lines These were all
Maryland lines and are known under
Diamond State control as the Eastern
Shore Telephone Company
Then the Maryland and Delaware
Telephone Company was organized to
take over the Salisbury plant; the Stan
dard Telephone Company of Crisfield;
the Citizens Company of Wicomico
county. and the Snow Hill line. So
that now the lineage under control of
the local company is about equally di-
vided between Delaware and Maryland
There are more than 100 centrals COM
prising the system and employment is
afforded to a couple hundred persons in
various ways. Salisbury has the larg-
est exchange-it, with the business at
hand and offered, will have $50 phones
locally.
Dover is the home office and one of
the towns leading citizens, Mr.. Harry
A. Richardson is President of the COM
pany and its chief shareholder. Dover
has more phones than any other town
of its size i'll the country. The capital
stock of the Diamond State Telephone
is S2I0.0 700; of the Eastern Shore line
800, 900; and of the Maryland aud Del
aware line 100000.
The extensions contemplated are lines
from Georgetown to Berlin and from
Cambridge to Taylor's Island, IA thirty
mile line through Il prosperous section
hitherto without telephone service.

MARRIAGE IN ALMSHOUSE.
Romantic Occurrence in Talbot
County.

Easton, Md, October "a very ro-
place at the Talbot County Almshouse
today between two of the inmates, Isaac
Kirby, aged "A, and Miss Sarah +.
Greenhauls. aged 46. These parties have
been at the almshouse for some time.
Mr.. Kirby has been afflicted and unable
to work for living for several years.
while Miss Greenhauls was sent there
about year ago, being unable to make
"a livelihood for herself During this
time they were thrown much together,
and when sickness came nursed each
other. This close intimacy ripened in.
to love and they became engaged, but
did not know how they could arrange
to get married and still remain at the
institution, as they desired to do. Appli.
cation was made to the trustees for per-
mission to wed.
At the regular meeting of the board
of trustees held last week. this was
granted, as was also their petition TO re-
main at the institution. Rev. B. S.
Highley, the chaplain of the institution,
was asked by the couple to procure a
marriage license for them, which he did
and the ceremony was performed by
him which made them man and wife in
the chapel of the institution Immediate
ly after the regular o'clock services on
Sunday afternoon.
The matron of the almshouse prepar-
ed an excellent dinner for the happy
couple and the other inmates of the
house and number of the trustees and
others who were present to witness this
ceremony.

iona Dunlap's Testimony in Poi.
soning Trial Converts Many
to Her Side.
LEANS TOWARD SUICIDE THEORY
Defendant Tells jury of Allie DooI's
Love for
Man.

Aledo, ILL.,, Dec. 26.-Miss iona Dun
lap challenged the admiration of all
who heard her testify in court We'd
nesday. With the charge of murder
hanging over her head, coldly crit
zeal and unsympathetic audience lis
tening intently to every word she ut
tered, and a pair of shrewd lawyers
alert to find weak spot in her de-
Tense, she proved a remarkable wit
ness. From morning until night as
composed as if sitting in her own
house, she replied to questions bear
ing upon every possible phase of the
mystery surrounding the tragic death
of Miss Allie Dool last August.
There was Il fearlessness in Miss
Dunlap's demeanor which was hard to
reconcile with the theory of guilt.
When court adjourned "Wednesday
night it was an easy matter to hear
expressions to the effect that if Miss
Dunlap was guilty she had proved a
wonderful actress in the stimulation
of innocence. These expressions
came most frequently from persons
who were active few days ago in
proclaiming the defendants guilt.

troduce the testimony of Mrs. Sarah
Anderson, of Washington. Iowa, was
defeated by ruling of the court sus-
tanning the objections of the prosecu-
ton. Airs. Anderson might have been
Il valuable witness for the defense.
While the jury was excluded from the
court room she testified that during
the last. week of July she was poison
ed by eating chocolate candy bought
at store in Washington and the
symptoms she described were identi-
cal with those described by Miss Dun
lap.
1t was developed by the questions
that Mrs. Anderson was stranger to
the attorneys, who had learned of her
poisoning through a former resident
of AIetlo. The defense offered to pro-
duce other witnesses who had been
poisoned by eating chocolate candy,
but the court held such evidence mad
missible.

west of Rio and the other a rear-end
collision at Barstow. Three engines
and a way-car were somewhat dam

The collision at Rio was the more
serious. Engineer Howard Dempsey

they crashed into No. IT, the Gales
burg freight. which left this city at

Tells of Giving Candy.

Miss Dunlap's story of the manner
in which Miss Dool got the candy
which caused her death was straight
forward and identical with the story
she had told before.
Miss Miller and / went into Felix's
store said Miss Dunlap, "and Miss
Dool came to wait on us at the muslin
counter. I purchased IL cents worth
of India linen, and after Miss DooI
had wrapped it up I picked up my
sack of candy and offered her some.
She said: i never refuse candy and
took three or four pieces from the
sack. Miss Miller and | each took a
piece from the sack. and then | emp
tied the contents on the counter.
There were only two pieces remaining
and Miss Miller and | divided them
between us.
Il bit off a piece of the candy taken
from the counter" continued Miss
Dunlap, land swallowed part of the
bite before noticing that it was aw-
fully bitter. | put the other piece in
my mouth, thinking that the bitter
ness was just the chocolate, and found
it so bitter that | asked Miss Dool if
she would excuse me if l should spit
it on the floor. She said certainly
and L spit the candy out on the floor"
Claims She Was Poisoned.
Miss Dunlap continued her story,
giving an account of what happened
to her while she was on her way
home that evening. She became sick
while near the school house. \ witch
ing of the limbs seized her. accom-
panied with a sensation of nausea.
The symptoms continued, Miss Dun
lap said, after she reached home, al
though she made no particular com
plant to the family. When she was
informed over the telephone that Al
lie Dool was dying from the effects of
poison contained in the candy she
became alarmed.

that was said over the telephone"
said Miss Dunlap, but L finally man
aged to make it out that the candy l
had been eating was poisoned. The

William T. Hodge has been secured
by Henry w. Savage for an impor-
tant part in Peggy from Paris"
George AIDES new musical comedy.
which will be produced at the Stude-
baker theatre, Chicago, early in the
new year. Mr.. Hodge is perhaps best
known as the originator of the part
of Freeman Whitmarsh in James \.
Herne's Sag HarbOr." in which he
made distinct and lasting success.
Mr.. Hodge is storehouse of droIl
humor and as an eccentric comedian
has few superiors on the American
stage. Miss Helen Bertram. who
made such n hit in the gay and fiirta-
tious widow in The Prince of Pill
sen" during its recent long and sue
cessful Chicago engagement, is to
have the title role of the new opera.
The part of Peggy is well suited to
her and the selection is considered a
wise one by those familiar with Miss
Bertram's ability. Another comedian
selected for the cast is Fred LennoX,
whose popularity is unquestioned.
Rehearsals for the forthcoming pro-
duction are now going on and Peggy
will be brought forth on an elaborate
scale.

Operators Fault.

The fault appears to have been with
the operator at Rio, who failed to
stop the engine according to orders.
Thus it was that each crew thought
there was clear track ahead. The
track is rather winding, and when the
engineers saw their danger it was
too late to avoid collision.
Neither engine left the rails. but
both were rendered useless, and had
to be hauled away. Fireman Weimer
was the only one hurt. He appears
to have jumped, sustaining an injury
to his spine that had the same effect
as partial stroke of paralysis. He
was taken to Barstow, where he
boards.

The fact is becoming painfully evil
dent to scores Of the farmers east
and north OF the city within a
radius OF five or six miles, that
something dropped the other day.
A little insignificant hail storm
sometimes doesn't amount to much,
but then again sometimes it does.
The farmers in the territory between
the north and eastern section lines
out OF the city have been boasting
for years that they had the finest
farming land on earth and so it is,
but when the farm is SO managed
that a shower of hail can in five
minutes wipe out the farmers entire
income for a year, there's something
wrong. This has been strongly i'm
pressed on the minds of these ia m
ers, and most of them will in the
future Figure" differently. They
will engage more extensively in
stock raising, dairying, and other
branches Of farming which tho pro-
badly not SO easily remunerative
will certainly give them something
in the way OF an income.-Grand

much time, in our opinion, is wasted
in obtaining smattering of Latin

to more useful subjects. In our day
the sciences are becoming more and

ford just as much mental discipline

Let those who desire to follow pure

IHE democratic party OF Minneso-
ia inserted a plank in their state
platform condemnning "the admin
istration for converting the Irvine
plant into an auxiliary OF the cord
age trust" In as much as prison
Irvine this year is sold about 4 cents
pound less than the trust product
there is very little truth or sense in
this declaration. Prison Irvine has
been sold this year at 9% cents for
sisal and standard, LIZ cents for
mixed and 12H cents for manila.
while the wholesale price OF Irvine is
13A cents for sisal and standard, IL
X cents for mixed and 15H cents for
manila, with Dealers profits to be
added, making the retail price of
sisal at IA to Is cents a pound. In
1898, the democrats worked the
Irvine issue successfully but in the
last campaign they got badly tang
led up in it, and they have had no
better luck this year. They thought
they saw a ''nigger'' in the Irvine
plant, and it turned out a boomer
ang. Democratic orators will have
little to say about Irvine in this
campaign.
