DIED OF STARVATION.
Word Is Received Regarding
Fate of Explorer Hubbard.

Quebec. Jan. 23.-Word has been re-
ceived here from Chateu bay, Labra-
dor, that a courier had arrived there
from Northwest river with the infor-
nation that Leonidas Hubbard. jr., of
the exploring party sent out by the
magazine Outing, of New York, had
died from starvation in the wilds Of
Labrador on October IA.
The remains are on their way to
Quebec so the report says, by dog
train with the other members of the
expedition, which is expected to reach
Chateu bay sometime in March.
HISTORY OF THE ADVENTURE
New York, Jan. z3.-Mr. Hubbard.
who was assistant editor of Outing,
was sent out by that magazine to ex-
plore the interior of Labrador. In his
party We're Dillon Wallace, a New York
lawyer, and two Cree Indians. The ex-
plorers left Rigoletta about the be-
ginning of July of last year. Their
object was to penetrate to the settle
ment Of Nascauppes Indians, where, so
far as known, no white man has ever
been.
Mr.. Hubbard and his party Travelled
very light. mindful of the fact that
similar expeditions had gone out over
loaded with impediments, and they
trusted to their prOWess with red and
rifle to obtain food on the trip. 1t was
the plan of Mr. Hubbard to work inland
into Labrador distance of 300 miles.
ON August q reports came from Lab
rador that the Hubbard party was
progressing satisfactorily, but two
months later nothing had been heard
from them, and apprehensions were ex-
pressed of their probable fate. and eS-
pecially as there was extreme desti-
tuition in Labrador, owing to the short
age of the fisheries catch.
Mr.. Hubbard's wife has been waiting
for him at Quebec.

BUYS A YETmAN.
Santa Fe Adds a Typewriter-TeIe-
graph to Wichita Equipment.

Wichita. Kan, Jan. ga Yetman
typeWriting and transmitting machine,
the first ever seen in Wichita, was
received at the telegraph offices of
the Santa F'e by Ed Donnelly, the day
man, yesterday morning.
This machine was patented but a
short time ago, and has been on the
market less than one year. In addi-
connected with any telegraph wire.
An operator may send MESA ges by
simply manipulating the keys the same
as when writing With six weeks of
practice it is said any one can become
proficient enough to enable him to
send messages, There is a slight diff
ference in the touch of the keys nee
essary to send messages from that re-
CURED only. to typewrite. By work
ing the machine slowly, however, any
the other end of the wire can receive.
The mechanism Of the machine is
very complicated. although the cost is
not much more than that of good
typewriter, considering the extra
equipment. The principal of the mech
anism is similar to that used in re-
ceiving market reports on tape. When
ever a certain key is pressed, the ma
chinery causes a certain number of
dots and dashes to be transmitted over
the telegraph instrument. When
person once becomes accustomed to the
machine, it is said that messages may
be sent faster than anyone can take
them, even with the assistance of a
typewriter.
The machine will be without a doubt
a great thing for operators whose
hands have become practically para
lyzed from long service on the keys.
This is an ordinary affliction of the
old operator. In some instances men
who have seen long service are COM
PEELED to use both hands to transmit
a message.
When asked if it wasn't probable
that persons who know nothing what
ever about teIegraphy and whose ser
vices could be secured cheaper than
the regular operators, are not likely
to succeed some of the older men, Mr..
Donnelly said: There is little dan
ger of that for the reason that rnes-
sages can not be received with the ma
chine. People could be employed, as
they often are by the larger telegraph
offices, to do nothing but send, but
the man who does not know anything
about telegraphy would be stumped
should the operator to whom he is
sending stuff get lost and have to
break in. The sender couldn't under
stand him"

the state board of charities in Mime
sofa and who visited the conference,
said to a gentleman who called at his
office in st. Paul to gather information
about conditions in the northwest,
why do you come here where our
work for criminals is pretty well or
ganized? Why do you not go to Kan
sas where nothing is being done?'
That sentence started an investigation
of penal conditions in the southwest
states which resulted in Rev. Edward
A. F,redenhagen coming to Kansas and
establishing the Kansas Society for the
Friendless. The work began in the
closing days of the old century. The
society is now operating in four states
and three territories, has leagues in
six prisons, is making itself felt in
reform In criminal law and prison man
agement, is promoting along lines for
the prevention of crime and has be-
come a strong movement.
Last year the society Joined with the
State Conference of Charities and Cor
reetion in a very SUCCESSFUL conyenl on
at Lawrence. This year it holds its
own separate convention in the First
Methodist church of Topeka The pro-
gramme which continues from Tuesday
night until Thursday noon, January %
% will contain two strong evening ses-
sions and three great symposiums. The
first session on Tuesday evening will be
addressed by the noted jurist, Judge Ben
B. Lindsey of Denver, Colo. The second
evening Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon will
read q, story expressly prepared for the
occasion, entitled Thicker Than
Water" During the day sessions many
experts, whose names appear in the
following programme, Will speak on
subjects concerning their work These
subjects will be deeply interesting. AS
the annual cost Of crime in the United
States is over $500. 600, 900 plus blasted
homes, ruined lives and social wreckage

tract large audiences.
