Since Mgr. Robert Seton went to Rome to live he has had two very dis agreeable experiences with thieves. His second experience occurred at the Grand Hotel de la Minerva. while he was absent celebrating mass. A sneak thief stole $325 from his room.

AND STILL THEY COME.
The Attorney General OF Illinois Con.
corning Women Voting.

Maurice S. Molony, the former
Attorney General of the State of
Illinois and now mayor of Ottawa,
Illinois, is strong friend of womans
equality. He says: al know of no
reason why women over twenty-one
years of age should not vote in this
State, not alone where they are tax
payers, but as freely and as fully as
men do now. The absurdity of
giving the franchise to lot of foreig-
ners who do not understang, and
therefore, scarcely appreciate the
gunius of our institutions, and at
the same time depriving intellectual,
native born women OF the same
right, surpasses comprehension. l
do not sympathize with the pretend
ed fear (for / believe it only a
pretense) of those male bipeds who
play politics for living and who,
feel do not love their country tina
it would be dragging woman from
her true position in the household
into, the arena of politics, thereby
lowering her dignity. il she we're
permitted TO vote; that it would ruin
all of her true womanly instincts
and entirely unfit her for social
duties. 1t is the cropping out OF
the same brutal, imperious instinct
in man that has always been predo-
minant in his character. History
verifies it. This lord of creation,
as he imagines himself to be, would
suffer in his own mation, unless
women were his slaves at home and
never his equal in any place. OF
course, all this will give way in time
and l believe we approach more
nearly toward an equality in our
country than in any other"

LAD DROWNED.
Charles Harper Of Pittsburg went In

From The Dominion.
Charles Harper was drowned in
Cheat River this morning. The ac-
cidcnt occurred at 1870. The
body was recovered in about two
hours bu, all attempts at resuscita.
ton proven futile.
Harper was encamped on the
west side Of the river near Grant
Cottage. There were two others
with him. They are from Pittsburg.
He went in swimming alone. He
had a life preserver but could not
swim. The float got away from him
in some manner and he began to
sink. He called loudly for help.
Miss Bess Grant was a short dis
lance below in boat and ut once
started for him. One Of his COM
rades on the bank called to her stat
ing that he could swim but after he
had gotten into the boat he proved
to be neither able to swim nor row.
The other camper ran to the aid
OF his drowning companion but
catching his foot in branch fell
aud lay stunned for some time. In
the meantime the drowning man had
sunk from sight and rose no more.
Preparations to drag the river
were at once made and the body
was recovered about noon. DR.. ].
P. Fitch was called. He worked
for some time but was unable to coax
back the vital spark.
Undertaken Garrison was called
and brought the body to town to
prepare it for shipment home.
Harper was Io years of age. He
is son of Charles Harper who is a
machinist at Jones and Laughlin's
on the South Side. The young man
lived in Allentown, South Side,

JEFF's $4,000 COLUMN.
The Deacon $ swift % Town.

JEFF Lpscomb In The Parsons Advocate.
once upon time not many
moons ago Deacon Brown was re-
corder and keeper of the great seal
OF the town of. Kingwood, which
town is located within about forty
five minute walk to the terminus of
the Great Kingwood Tea Kettle
Trunk Line Railroad. When the
Deacon assembled his throne and
brought forth his scepter and night
cap he made stirring speech. He
told his hearers that what Kingwood
needed was infant industries and
that the people of that good old
sleepy town should lend helping
hand in order that the steam whistle
might blow on the hillsides and milk
and honey flow through the valleys.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
because it wasn't bed time in King
wood yet. After the meeting the
Kingwoodites wendell their way to
their abodes and were soon all in
soft and dreamy slumber. But they
were to be awakened by rude.
rude man with an infant industry.
The next morning about O'Clock a
steam threshing machine was located
just outside of the corporate limits
of the town and the proprietor had
the gall to blow the whistle. Upon
the first loot the natives of King
wood came rolling and tumbIiDg out
of bed with pale checks and staring
eyes. What the matter was they
did not know, but one thing was
certain, nothing like that was ever
heard in Kingwood before. The
City Dads assembled in martial array
and headed for the scene Of dis
turbance. The threshing machine
man saw them coming and supposed
that he was to be invited 10 ban
quet or requested to make a speech.
But he was mistaken. He was in.
formed by the Deacon. (who acted
as spokesman that the people Of
Kingwood did not propose to be
walked up by no such blamed noise.
The Deacon then proceeded to ex-
anime the whistle. He accidentally
pulled the whistle string and forth
with there was screech. The
Deacon jumped fourteen feet in the
air and landed in cban pie. This
was too much. The town council
was convened in extraordinary ses
sion and in fifteen minutes they
compelled the thresbing machine
man to move his outfit four miles
out into the country with Instructions
to never again cross the dead line

ELECTRIC POWER.
Power Is to be Transmitted without
wires.
The Troliyless Trolley Car will be .
Result.

After working for more than three
years on the transmission of electric
al energy without wires Nicola Tesla
has now announced that he has CON-
pleted an invention by which it will
be possible not only to send wireless
messages for thousands of miles
without wires, but that he will be
enabled to send ocean liners to Eu-
rope and have railroads carry pas
sengers 100 miles an hour by draw
ing their power from the air.
Mr.. Tesla has completed large
powerhouse at Wardenclyffe, on
Long Island, and is building others
throughout the country and one in
Scotland, between which he says he
intends to send electric currents of
sufficient voltage to enable steam
ships and railroads to draw all their
power. The powerhouse at Worden-
clyffe occupies nearly three acres of
ground and is fenced in SO that no
one can get view of it except
those working within the enclosure.
81 expect to make complete an
nouncement of my plans shortly, !"
Mr.. Tesla said," and when do
many persons will be surprised.
have been taking out patents on my
inventions on the transmission of
electrical energy without wires for
the last three years.
"By means of the current which
will be sent between the different
stations ! will be able to draw power
for almost any purpose. That will
be enabled to get force with which
to operate railroads and steamships
from currents passing through the
air between powerhouses is an as
sured fact. All my experiments so
far have proved successful and am
new devoung all my time toward
getting things on working basis.
1.-THE whole idea in a nutshell is
simply an extension of the plan to
send wireless telegraph messages. !"
About 200 men are working on the
Tesla plant at Wardenclyff. The
house is large round iron structure
and looks like the ordinary gas
plant. There are several poles
about sixty feet in height rising from
the top of the house and from these
the power will be sent.
Mr.. Tesla asserted that there was
a similar power-house in Scotland
and that this one was almost entire
ly completed. Other houses are be-
ing built near Chicago and San
Francisco.

wHIsTLID TEXT IN PULPIT.
Pastor Initiated the Notes Of the
Meadow Lark.

Whistling his text was a new
method that Rev. Vaughn S. Collins
employed in the service in the
Asbury Methodist Episcopal church
at Smyrna, Del, says the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger. DIR. Collin
new method was rather startling to
his congregation, for he is consider.
ed one of the most dignified memb-
ers Of the Wilmington conference
and for several years was president
ofthe Conference academy at Dover.
When it came time to preach the
sermon, DR.. Collins arose in the
pulpit and whistIed four times, each
note being an imitation Of the song
Of the meadow lark.
The preacher said that on recent
visit TO the country he heard a mead
on lark, and il suggested very APP
propriate sermon, as he likened the
song Of the bird to the text, Thou,
God, seest me-" as found in the
thirteenth verse of the sixteenth
chapter Of Genesis. Following the
whistling of the text DR.. Collins
preached an eloquent sermon and
pointed out to bis hearers how God
saw and heard repentant sinners.
