 The construction of teiephone line 10 connect Selma with Felix and other points in East Perry is practically assured today by subscriptions by citizens along the line of an amount sufficient to meet the ex- penditures that will be necessary and It is expected that by December 15 the line will be ready for use.
 The line was ''prejected' many months ago and has ever since been much-de- sired convenience for merchants in Selma and their patrons and for the general cit- izenship of the country that Is to be reached. The proposed system will ex- tend from Felix, which is in the eastern part of Perry County and about fifteen miles from Selma, to Craig's Hill, where junction with the line of the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company's Selma and Marion wire is made, and this connection will of course easily afford communication with Selma. The rural subscribers will, 1t is understood, have di- rect connection with the Selma exchange as Its patrons and will be charged the same rates as urban subscribers.
 The movement for the construction of the line had its initial impetus from Messrs Suttle, Jones and Gilmer of Fe- lix. and other residents of the neighoorfng country, but the petition for subscriptions which was handed about by w. H. Bar ker of Craig's. was undersigned by mer- chants of Selma, who gave liberally. About s300 was subscribed and thIs amount will be nearly sufficient to pay for the expense of stringing the wires between Felix and Craigs Hill, which will be maintained at the cost of the out-of- town subscribers. The instruments will be furnished by the Southern Bell Com pany.
 The proposed line will bring Selma into much closer communication with ter ritory that Is prosperous and that will help the growth of the city's trade.

FOR PHILHARMONIC WORK
DIRECTOR EVANS SAYS FESTIVAL
CHORUS SHOULD BE PRESERVED.
Final Rehearsal Gives Promise of
Brilliant Success-Rendering of
Haydn's Great Anthem.

Nearly three hundred members of the
May festival chorus attended the final re-
hearsal at Shortridge High School Hall last
night. The work of the chorus, under the
direction of Louis Evans, of Chicago, was
full OF spirit and skill. and Mr.. Evans was
highly gratifed at the expression. shading
and attack demonstrated. In both the
''Stabat Mater and the Creation the
work of the chorus was of high order.
and Mr.. Evans added TO his conviction that
this chorus ought to be kept together for
philharmonic work. In both the great
works that are to be produced next Monday
and Tuesday at English's Opera House
there are passages of the most difficult
nature where composite effects are gained
only by the strictest fidelity TO time and
the most perfect attack and shading. and
in all these Mr.. Evans found the chorus
sensible of its duty and fully responsive.
In the singing OF the Austrian national
anthem, Haydn's beautiful hymn, which
was one of the last things he played the
chorus eQualed its best work. Twice this
hymn has been played here. once by
Thomas and once by Damrosch, but this is
the first time IL will have been sung by a
chorus. On Monday evening. when 1t will
be rendered. IL will combine the orchestra

SEEKING AFFINITY in AUTO
QUEER DELUsION OF MRS. FRANCES
b. RICHTER, OF LOGANsPORT.
Scared Chauffeur Drove Her to Police
Station, Where She Was Placed
I'm a Cell.

Get into my automobile and find my
affinity and bring him TO me. You will
know him when you see him. He has a
mole on his cheek and cotton in his ears,
but he will be able to hear the horn on the
automobile of the gypsy queen"
These were the weird words of Mrs. Fran
in the city police station. Mrs. Richter
came from Logansport to this city on Tues
day and engaged a room at the English
Hotel, paid for it in advance and then dis
appeared. Yesterday afternoon she called
to the driver Of an automobile cab at the
Union Station, and getting inside, requested
that she be taken to the beautiful noun
tains, where the air was pure, and there,
she said. she would find her affinity. She
said she would know him, that he had
a bright new penny, which was an exact
duplicate of one she had in her pocketbook
and that he had cotton in his ears She
saw him on the train with her en- route to
Indianapolis, and could scarcely keep from
throwing her arms around his neck and
claiming him as her own, she said. After
hearing such remarks as these the cab
driver began to grow uneasy, and. turning
the power on full force headed for the po-
lice station, and on arriving there turned
his passenger over to the matron's care.
Mrs. Richter is woman of refinement and
character, but has been a close observer of
the principles of Christian Science and the
osophy, and has become mentally unbal-
anced. Her brother. lie Roy Bridge of
Logansport, was notified and arrived in
this city early this morning He will take
her back to Logansport some time to-day.
He said she was perfectly sane until Sun
day, when she appeared somewhat agitated.
Mrs. Richter had a bank book on chain
around her neck which showed a balance in
her favor of something like $500. 1t is said
her relatives are well to do and she will be
placed in a private asylum as soon as
proper arrangements can be made.

Bishop Dudley explained that he was in
vited to Chicago to participate in a cele-
bration of Appomattox day. at which meet
ing he spoke on the great leader of the
Confederate hosts and this led to the pres
ent lecture.
The early life Of Lee was discussed and
the first facts of his boyhood were related
In an interesting fashion. Robert E. Lee
was the son of widow mother which
had a good deal to do with making him
such strong man." said the bishop. "At
the age of eleven years he had the care of
a family. In school he was always at the
head of his class and when graduated from
West Point he stood second. / have often
wondered, said the speaker, what ever
became of the first and have since
learned that he studied law, although 1
confess / have forgotten his name.
The character of Robert +. Lee was
dwelt on at length and the history of his
life related. The speaker spoke of Lee as
patriot, soldier and peerless citizen"
During his talk number of exceedingly
interesting anecdotes of Lees life were re-
lated and in every way the audience was
brought to know better the great general
of the South.
Bishop Dudley is the guest of Bishop
Francis.
