Cleveland Dec. 15.-Thomas Kelly
met a horrible fate at the corner of
Broadway and Wilson avenue Mon
day. He was electrocuted before n
crowd of people who were unable to
effect his rescue. His body was en-
veloped in flames and blue smoke
rose all about him. Kelly is employed
by the Cleveland Electric nluminat-
ing Co. and was sent to the corner of
Broadway and Wilson avenue to fix
some wires that We're out of order.
He climbed the high pole and strap
ped himself to it with a stout rope.
This latter precaution was probably
what caused his death.

CUPID HAS NEW NAME.
President Roosevelt Calls Royal Dele.
Snte to Congress from Hawaii
"Mr. kuhIo."

One of the most interesting figures in
congress is the delegate from Hawaii,
Prince Cupid. His real name is Prince
Jonah Kuhio Kalaniaaole. He acquired
the title Cupid" while at school in San
Francisco, and now he is to be ofitially
called out of his name again because the
president cannot pronounce his appella-
tion. He is to be known in official cir
cles as Mr.. Kuhio.
Mr.. kuhio is accompanied everywhere
he goes by a secretary. He has also a
personal secretary" and several other
personages in his suite. He dresses we'll,
wears his straight black hair la pompa-
dour, and his fierce black mustache is
forever waxed brilliantly. He is about
six feet tall and has a fine physique,
erect and athletic. Mr.. Kuhio is light

Time and time again has the report
gone over to Paris that the United
States was about to pay tardy tribute
to its dead patriot by bringing his body
back.
AT the present time much interest
has been excited in Paris by the report
that the United States congress had
made an appropriation for the purpose
of disinterring the remains of Admiral
Jones and bringing them back to
America. This, of course, is not true.
but it has served to awaken renewed
interest in the project. and turned the
attention of the reading public to the
last resting place of the daring hero.
The place where he was buried was at
that time lover a century ago) a GEM

the growth of the city of Paris, the old
burying ground was filled up and
buildings erected thereon, so that to-
day the remains of Admiral Paul
Jones lie somewhere under the floor of
a photograph gallery owned by Nine.

portant event is as follows: Il had the
honor to hoist with my own hands the
flag of freedom, the first time it was
displayed, on the Delaware; and have
attended it with veneration ever since
on the ocean,"
The account of how Jones won rec
ognition for the flag from France, the
first ever given it by foreign nation,
is exceedingly interesting. 1t was at
Quiberon, France, where the Ranger,
his ship, was being rcfitted, prepara-
tory to a descent upon the coast and
shipping of Great Britain. Jones dis
played great professional address and
characteristic firmnesS in compelling
the French admiral to give the Ameri-
can flag the first salute it ever received.
He wrote to the French commander,
who had ignored his claims: "It is true,
my command at present is not impor-
tant, yet. as the senior American Off
Ger at present in Europe, it is my duty
to claim an equal return of respect to
the flag of the United States that would
be shown to any other flag whatever"
And he stood by his contention until
the boom of the French guns was heard
in salute of the then young Glory OF
his triumph he was naturally very
proud, and wrote to the marine
committee at home: II am happy in
having it in my power to congratulate
you on my having seen the American
fag recognized in the fullest and COM
pletest manner by the flag of France"
The story of Paul Jones exploits reads
like the widest fiction. The engage
ment between the Scraps and the Bon
Homme Richard, SO named in honor OF
his friend Franklin, was the most des-
perate and most remarkable in naval
chronicles. AS close and deadly fight,
hand to hand, and accompanied by the
dreadful circumstances that can attend
a sea engagement. it has no parallel.
Its incidents have been selected as The
foundation of fictitious narratives O!
maritime combats, Mr.. Cooper, the
celebrated American novelist, and AL
len Cunningham. have both chosen
Paul Jones as the hero Of romances.
For his services congress gave him
rote Of thanks and later presented him
with u gold medal, and now, after
century and q quarter since he won
the victory over the Scraps, Il may he
that money will be appropriated It
bring his remains back TO this countr;
and give them distinguished burial.

ed the spot underneath the floor of the
photograph gallery as the place where
John Paul Jones was buried 1t is also
said that plan of the cemetery is in
existence which indicates the exact To-
cation of Jones grave. But some doubt
has been expressed as to whether the
actual bones of the famous commander
of the Bon Hommie Richard could be
recovered, even though the grave were
accurately located, for, lying in such
close proximity to others who were
buried in the cemetery, there would be
great danger of confusion. 1t has been
suggested as way around this diff
Guilty that the remains of Jones could
be identified by the skull. If by no
other means, for the admiral had a
head which was nearly twice as large
as that of an ordinary man. But in
considering the difficulty the fact has
been overlooked that at the time of
burial the remains were enclosed in a
leaden casket, which ought to keep the
dust and bones from mixing with the
surrounding soil and make identlica-
ton easy.

A Record Of Death.

Cleveland, Dec. 1O.-Typhoid fever's
deadly record in Cleveland in 1903 is
clearly shown by a report prepared
by the health Office, Wednesday. All
records for the city are broken by
little more than II months of this
year. Owing to a laXity on the part
of physicians and improper laws, all
contagious disease cases are not re-
ported to the health authorities. The
dead record is correct. In Cleveland
for the II months and eight days of
this year there have been 3,33S cases
of typhoid fever and 449 deaths.

William Haywood, who was the last
consul of the United States at Honolulu
and who now represents the Planters
association of Hawaii, recently called
on the president to arrange for the pres
entation of the new delegate.
Il shall not call him Prince Cupid"
Mr.. Roosevelt declared, "and l cannot
pronounce his last name. l never would
be able to remember it, anyhow. Can't
we cut it off somewhere and make it
simpler?"
Mr.. Haywood conferred with Prince
Cupid's advisers and after lengthy de-
bate Mister Kuhio" was evolved from
the troublesome cognomen. Mr.. Hay
wood returned to the white house with
the abbreviated title, which proved ac-
ceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt Hereafter
all invitations to the delegate from Ha-
wall will be addressed simply to Mr..

The Hawaiian delegate has no vote in
congress. He has the privilege of de-
bate only. His predecessor, Delegate
Wilcox, who died recently, was a fine
orator, but it is said Mr.. Kuhio isn't.

guarding the engineer left, going to-
ward the smoking car, ieaving Peck
unguarded. AS his former guards
turned and ran toward the smoking
car Peck pulled the throttle wide open
and the train began to move. The
mob, seeing the turn things were TAX

by turning the angle cock to- the air

Not understanding the working of the
brakes, however, they were unsuccess-
