CALL FOR HELP
DYING OPERATOR SENT
LAST MESSAGE
"For Gods Sake Send
Help" He Said.
THE RESCUING PARTY

Arrived Too late-Assassin Had Flown
and Victim Lay Cold in Death-Brutal
Murder at Williamsport Stirs Com
munity- Searching for Man Who Did
the Deed.
Williamsport, Pa, Nov. 19.-His life
blood flowing from wound In his
chest fred at him by an unknown as
sassin who had hid.en in the bushes
outside of his lonely tower. William
Clendeuin, a railway telegrapher sta
toned In New York Central signal
box at Brown station, had just
strength enough left to grasp his key
and send message to the next station
for help before he collapsed and fell to
the floor where few minutes later his
assassin found him and completed his
dastardly crime.
The operator at Jersey Junction, the
nearest point to Brown station was
copying an order which Clendenin was
sending him early tonight when there
was break for a second and the in
strument licked off the following pa
thetic message:
81 have been shot. Bullet came
through window. am dying. for Gods
sake send help"
An alarm was given at once and the
Jersey Junction operator, stopping only
to thrust his revolver into his pocket.
threw the danger, demaphore against
an approaching freight rain. When the
latter came to stop he jumped aboard
and in a second the engine was de-
tached and with a half dozen inftriat-
ed railroad men on board the locomo-
tive was soon speeding to Brown sta
ton.
The light engine covered the short
distance in record time. but the party
arrived too lak. On bursting into the
tower they feaawothe lifeless body of
Clendenin lying under the small table
that had supported his instrument. he
was quite dead. and a ragged hole in
his chest and terrible wounds in the
head showed only too plainly the cause
of death.
Investigation revealed that fact that
the assassin had shot him from a
clump of bushes along the track. The
bullet wound alone was sufficient to
cause death but the murderer after
gaining an entrance and finding Glen
denim was not quite dead had picked
up switch bar that stood in the cor
ner and beat the wounded man to
death with it. He then robbed the
body and made his escape. He got a
small sum Of money and silver watch
for his crime but 1t is supposed that
he intended to kill the day operator
who was known to carry a large sum
with him at all times. The murderer
then successfully made his escape.
The rescue party searched the sur
rounding country thoroughly but fail
ed to find any trace of the criminal.
Word was sent to chief of Detectives
Humphrey of the railroad force and he
hurried men to the scene to join in the
hunt
Conductor Weatherill, who got or
ders for his freight train at the tower
ten minutes before the killing took
place states that there was an un-
known man in there at the time who
turned his face away as he entered for
the orders. He says he thinks the men
had been quarrelling and the detec-
tives are investigating the theory in
the belief that the crime was commit
ted by former operator who was un-
friendly to the dead man. So far they
have found no evidence to bear out
this story.

Wiz ldhoc lHION III tie ndtiliilo-
NAL lottery. The man who marries
for money has at least a reasonable
chance of keeping it. The man who
marries a woman because of her
sweet and amiable disposition has
taken out guarantee policy on a
peaceful and happy life. The man who
marries a woman for intelligence
and companionship is sure of it to
the end of the chapter, but the man
who marries for beauty is bound to
lose. The fairest complexion will
fade in few years; the most golden
hair will turn gray grizzled; the
most syfphlike figure becomes gaunt
and bony, or fatand dumpy. What,
then, is the plight of the man who
has married a woman who has only
beauty without intelligence or help
fitness? What so undesirable and
unattractive as a parlor ornament
whose gliding is furnished, whose
pretty coloring is washed off, and
that is defaced by time?
My correspondents contention
that it is only beauty that attracts
men to women is one that is not
borne out by observation. Men
think they marry for beauty, but it
is not true. In proof of which one
has only to submit the indisput-
able fact that most all the married
women of our acquaintance are
homely enough to break looking
glass. And those women were
deliberately picked out and married
by men who consider themselves
connoisseurs in feminine pull
chritude. Whether this is because
beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
or whether mans guardian angel
steps in and saves him at the last
minute, it is impossible to say but
certain it is that, although men
worship beauty abstractly, they
seldom care for it for home consump-
ton, and the prettiest woman in
the community generally makes the
poorest match.
Perhaps it may be true, as my
correspondent states, that a man
does not want an intellectual
phenomenon, or an able business
manager, or a washtub manipul-
ator" in wife, but if the woman
has none of these virtues, the time
will assuredly come when he will
grow very tired of the wife whose
brains are OF the Omelette bOuffe
order; he will groan over the bills
of the one who is helplessly wasteful
and extrayagant, and he will
ascertain in trial and circulation
that it takes a woman who is
skilled engineer to run the con-
plicated machinery of happy
home.
The question thus raised, how
ever, is an interesting one. What
charms attract man most in
woman? What qualities do men
demand in wife?

The Choice OF A Wife.
An Ever Interesting Question
What Charms Attract Man?
What Qualities Do Men
Demand?
By Dorothy Dix.

By Dorothy Dix.
| have received the following let
ter:
Dear Miss Dix: | have read your
able dissertations on marriage with
much pleasure, but, as we all have
different views, let me tell you what
/ think. You make the mistake in
your article OF October "a of treat
ing the home as a money making
department, whereas it makes no
money at all, and, no matter how
hard a woman may work, she would
not earn a cent nor add at all TO
the capital of the firm. The home
is only an unnecessary dispensing
department.
"The only object in getting mar
ried is to monopolize pretty girl.
No man mants an intellectual phe-
nomenon or an able business man
ager, or an ungainly, gaunt, wash
tub manipulation. He can hire a
Chinaman to do his washing for a
dollar. He can get board for So
week; but if he tried to run fiat
rent would be S., the coal and gas
and other exprenes the Lord only
knows how much. Would any man
in his senses go to that expense for
the sake of being tied to a plain
business woman? 1t is impossible
to love one of your gaunt, raw
boned workers. Nature has wisely
implanted in man the love of the
beautiful. II it had not been for
that love the race would still be
-gorilIas. The fact that the beautiful
will be chosen and the .homely left
is a matter that can not be helped,
Yours truly
G. w. Bartlett"
Nv correspondent, who is evi
IDENTIFY an unmarried man, seems to
fall into the common error of sup
posing that beauty and brains are
an impossible combination in a
woman. This is not necessarily
true. Indeed, so far from intellig-
ence being a bar to good looks, it
is the first aid to beauty, for to a
discriminating person there is no
face SO ugly as the one that is
merely pretty in feature and color
ing, but that is dull, inane and ex-
pressionless.
In recommending young man
to marry awoman who would be
helpmeet instead of parlor orna-
ment, | was not attempting to boom
the stock of the homely sisterhood,
though | still hold to the convic-
ton that, considering the fact that
life for most of US is more of a
serapping match than it is picnic,
the large, strong, capable hand that
could help man fight his battles
and pull the domestic wagon out Of
the ruts would look prettier to him
in the long run than the soft, pink,
manicured one that is good for
nothing but being squeezed. Fort
unately, though, in such matters a
man is not reduced to Hobson's
choice. Among our bright, intelligent
American girls there are plenty
who possess both brains and beauty,
and a man can have wife, if be
desires, who can perform equally
we'll upon the cooking stove and the
piano.
The man who marries merely fol-
beauty is the most reckless gambler

BESIDE THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH
MONDAY EVENING.

That ]. II. Stoddart retains a warm place
in the hearts of the patrons of the How
ard Opera house Woas evidenced Monday
by the hearty reception given him by
n we'll filed house. The familiarity with
the play through the popularity of Ian
McLaron's book and the recognition won
by Mr.. Stodddrt ensured good entertain
ment as the public never tircof a good pre-
sentation of the simple but stern charac-
ter of Il Scotchman and no one who went
had occasion to go away disappointed.
The beauty OF the play is the fact that
il reveals the Scotch character through
all the stages of life and thus requires a
supporting company of unusual excel
leucc. This has been secured in the COM
pany here last evening and while one re-
members first the old Highland sheep far
mer and his lovely daughter, he will never
forget the jovial mail carrier, the young
lord with n genuine love, the good old
doctor or the saucy teasing dairy maid.
who was finally woocd by the awkward
shepherd. To Messrs, EaSton, Hall, Max
wen and Stepner who appeared as har-
vestcrs. were given no prominent acting
but their fine rendition of several Scotch
songs was a decided addition to the pro-
gramme. A good play presented by a
good company tells the whole story.
