Songs and Their Singers
Fortunate People That Have L
Fame in q. Single Bound


The actors who have made their
fame on one play. the authors whose
reputation rests upon one book, or the
orators whose celebrity is connected
with one speech, are not nearly so nu-
merous as the singers who have be-
come known through one song. The
recent death of The Great McDer-
mott" who will go down to posterity
as the singer OF by lingo. We Will"
the song which made the term lingo
ism familiar term in the English
language. recalls the story of many of
these one-achieved individuals,
\ song will sometimes be sung by a
music nall singer which will seem to
have in il no more of the elements of
popularity than any other song. Yet
suddenly it will become all the rage,
and will be hUmmed and whistled by
thousands of people all over the coun-
try who never heard the name of the
singer and perhaps never put their
foot in The music hall.
1t was Miss LOttie Collins who first
sang Tara boom decay" in London
music hall. Few thought it was song
out of the ordinary, even those who
heard it. yet within a few days all
London was humming it, and it was

PROTECTING CABLES


Unexpected perilS await submarine
cables, even in the depths of the ocean.
Though the largest waves in a storm
probably do not appreciably disturb the
water beyond the first 100 fathoms. if
indeed they go SO far currents are
sometimes strong enough to fray the
cable against some submarine crag and
various living creatures will do i a
mischief. Among them fishes have
long been suspected, and now the
charge has been proved in a cable con-
Meeting Sydney with Nelson. A defect
was detected, and on examining the
piece sharks tooth was found imbed-
ded in the sheathing. AS that consist
ed of the usual thick iron wires and
their outer covering the aggressor must
have given hard bite. The motive is
not easily OWNED. Could the shark
have mistaken the cable, in the i'm
perfect light. for a rev species of con-
GER or did it. which seems more likely
blunder against it at place where it
did not touch bottom. and relieve it's
temper by vicious snap?
A swordfish will express it's resent
ment against d vessel by driving the
bayonet at the end of its nose into the
planks, and narwhal will use it's
lance of ivory in similar fashion: each.
like the shark, to it's own detriment,
for it illustrates the maxim, Cant you
leave it alone?" by losing the weapon
of offense.
Living creatures will follow the
ocean slopes downward to very great
depths. Sponges. at least certain kinds.

not long before it had become as IA
maliar as God Save the Queen"
It is said that there are at least a
dozen singers of comic songs who are
known IN the profession as "one-song
men" For instance, Charles Coborn,
the man who sang The Man That
Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo" made
more money out of other songs. but
for one person who knows one of his
other songs probably a hundred knew
this one
Other familiar instances OF the one
song success are Anna Held's Wont
You Come and Play With Me?" and
Ernest Hogan's Who Said Chicken
in This Crowd" Both of these have
sung many another song, but none of
the others has had such extreme pop
ularity. The authors of Little Annie
Rooney" After the Ball Is Over" and
other equally well-known songs are
almost Unknown, yet in many cases
their one song carried them to tempor-
airy fame.

Historic Mirror.

The clerk of the senate committee
of the District of Columbia. Charles
Moore. has TeSurrected from the lum-
Der room OF the capitol mirror that
every vice president of the United
States is said to have looked into. 1t
is a small one in a gilt frame and was
bought by John Adams for use in the
vice presidents room. He paid $40 for
it, and there was long debate in the
senate as TO whether the sum should
be allowed, but the bill was finally
paid. The mirror was handed along
from vice president to vice president
until it reached Garret A Hobart.
After Mr.. Hobarts death the mirror
was taken to the lumber room of the
capitol. This last summer, after Mr.
Roosevelt had left Washington and
before he came back as president, Mr.
Moore got out the mirror and had it
regilded, intending to give it to Mr..

or some near relation may be found at

cies of the former was brought up on
telegraph cable from more than / 100

in complete repair. 1t was on the Bal

that the ill-fated engine was imme

saw the machine rise in the air; it
seemed to me to be about as high as
the telegraph poles in the city. Then
came a cloud of dense black smoke and
dust, which hid the engine from view,
and almost simultaneously / heard
the roar of the explosion.
Both the engineer and the fireman
were killed and the locomotive was fit
for nothing much but the scrap heap
when it fell to the ground. The crown
sheet over the fire box had blown out.
The strange thing about the explosion
was that no white steam was seen.

CLOSE IN CARBON.
County Officers Well Divided B.
tween the Two Parties.

According to all accounts the CAM
paign in Carbon county was decidedly
a strenuous one on both sides. The
principal effort of the democrats vas
directed against Sheriff Potter, who
was up for reelection. For various
reasons he had incurred the enmity
of a certain element and they bent ev-
cry energy toward his defeat, even
going so far as to send women
throughout the county to work against
him. In spite of all he was success
full and led his ticket.
The returns show a tie between the
democratic and republican candidates
for county attorney and an official
count will be necessary to decide who
has been elected. 1t is said that an
error in the footings was made by
the clerks in one precinct and that it
will be found that the fusion candi-
date was credited with five more
votes than he really received. Should
this prove SO the republican will have
a majority Of that many votes.
The democrats, or fusionists, elect
ed the superintendent of schools,
clerk, assessor, surveyor and cor
oner.
