ASSAULTS WOMAN IN HER HOME,
Gardener lnficts Several Wounds Be-
 fore Mistress Escapes Him.

Plainfeld, N. J., April 5.-Barely ss- caping with her life, and with blood flowing from several wounds received in a hand to hand struggle with her gardener, stephen Touquer, who at the point of a pistol assaulted her. Mrs Annie Lemayd, of Scotch Plains, came to Justice Clark s office this evening and swore out a warrant for the mans arrest. Mrs. Lemayd told the justice the story of the fight which she had alone in the house with the man. Officers are now on his trail and his arrest is expected.
 Mrs. Lemayd charges the man with coming to her house and conducting himself in a manner which she con- stdered was a menace to her personal safety. When she requested him to leave the house he drew a revolver and threatened her life. She grappled with him, and, after a desperate struggle for possession of the weapon wrenched it from his grasp. He then drew a knife. and Mrs. Lemayd saved herself by taking flight. Mrs. Lemayd is the widow of J. Lemayd, who was a tug boat owner of New York. She lives with servants on country estate here

much to see that the regular admission fee is being charged. and thousands visit the grounds daily from curiosity alone. Only HOO carloads of exhib- its have been unloaded and placed so far, but train loads are arriving daily and the work is being pushed as fast as possible. There are now 5000 car loads of exhibits lying on sidetracks between Kansas City ard St. Louis, kept there only because there are not sidetracks enough at the fair grounds to accommodate them. As fast as they can be handled they are brought to the city.
 That part of the exposition devoted to amusements, and known at other fairs as the midway, at St. Louis is called The Pike" It will be bigger and more varied than any previous ag- gregation of the sort. The Wabash railroad has the only steam railroad station within the grounds, and han dles the freight of all roads. Unlike other big fairs, there is a regularly con- ducted hotel of immense proportions within the fair grounds. called the In- side Inn. It will no doubt be crowded all through the fair season. The par ticular advantage of q residence in this hotel is that one is charged with one daily admission to the grounds during his stay, and is given a special form of ticket, so he may come and go as he pleases, passing in and out as often as he cares to without additional expense. Another advantage, of course, is that one is at home where he can see the most and make the best use of his time. Coming west, MT. Landi5 traveled di- rect except for stop of a few hours in Kansas City. He found delightful weather everywhere, and saw no snow till he reached northern Arizona.

TEMPE CANAL co.
Contract for Its Pumping Plant Let
 Saturday Night.

The Tempe Canal company on Sat urday evening awarded the contract for the erection of it's new pumping plant to the Pacific Coast Machinery Co. of Los Angeles. which was rep resented here by T. s. Smith.
 The purpose of the new plant is to raise 1 900 inches of water by pumping, 10 augment the natural supply of irri- gation water that falls to the Tempe al its portion of the river flow. It is intended to dig the necessary wells and place the pumping machinery at a point midway between the Maricopa and Phoenix and the Phoenix and Eastern railroads, between Tempe and Mesa. and near where the Kirkland Mckinney and South Extension canals branch off from the main ditch of the Tempe Canal company.
 The pumping machinery is to be driven by a compound steam Corliss engine and high pressure boilers and its installation is to be of the best and thoroughly up to date. The plant will cost about 27.OOO, exclusive of the wells and the necessary buildings which it is estimated will cost in the neighborhood of S1OCOO. The plant is to be finished and in operation in four months.

TRUE TEST FOR ORE.
A Shipment to the Shelters Will Tell the Tale, and Is the Only Sure Test.

While it is of the utmost importance in opening and operating mines to keep a close check on the values in the va rious workings by assays, and while such tests are absolutely necessary to determine the value of ores gathered in the course of prospecting, mill or smelter returns are really the true cri- terions of the value of ore bodies, says the Mining and Engineering Review. Many times in the history of mining have mines been condemned and aban- doned because the parties operating thought the ore did not contain val ues: in fact, it looked too poor. to jus tify even an assay, and in some in stances ore which looked as if it con- tained no values was thrown on the waste dump without even a thought of ascertaining if it contained 'colors." The same claims have been afterward opened, the worthless" quartz assayed, test shipments sent to the mill or smelter and the results have been the means of developing prospects into mines.
 Careful prospectOrs never believe their eyes" They never discard ore because it looks barren, nor do they imagine they have mine because the gold sticks right out" of few pieces of quartz on their claims. They know also that assays, while helpful, are not conclusive. They want further and more definite proof of the values in the ore. A shipment to I smelter tells Ithe story, and not until the returns are received is the miner prepared to throw energy and capital without stint into his work or to abandon the claim. When ore in a reasonable quantity is found or a vein developed to such an extent as to lead to the conclusion that a mine may be opened, the first thing a prospector should do is to get enough ore out for shipment to smelter, or to a mill, if available and the ore is free milling. Upon the returns he can base his future operations. He is no longer guessing, but is absolutely sure as to what he may expect from that particular ore body. When the charac- ter of the ore seems to change, or if the miner has encountered new vein, another shipment should be made. Of course, the continual assaying, which should never be neglected. will be a guide to a certain extent, but smeltcr returns are sure, and a shipment should be made as soon as enough ore can be sacked.

Two of them had their names in capital letters on the programmes, but if ability counts for anything in the selection OF type, upper case' should have been used for all of them. The part of Honor Racket, the tilted sweetheart, who became q servant in order to bet ter have her revenge on the artist, was assumed by Loretta Babcock, an exceedingly vivacious young woman, who had quite the correct conception of the character and never overdid it. John Ferguson's interpretation of the role of the artist was as original as it was clever. Thomas P. Hoier as the artists friend, had jolly. good na- tured way of doing things that made him great favorite with the audience, and his laugh became quite infectious. Pretty Louise Carter was seen to ad- vantage in the part of Salina Roach. the artists wife. Miss Carter. however, did not have nearly enough to do. The audience would have preferred to have seen more of her work. "A Wise Wo- man. is one of those fanciful comedies which would be a success under any other name.

SAYS HIS WIFE IS CRUEL TO HIM.
Farmer Declares She Beats Him and
 Made Him Sleep in Woodshed.

Millville. N. J., April 10.-Parker Hayes, a farmer, who lives in Broad street, this city, caused the arrest of his wife last night and. the charge he preferred against her was abuse and cruelty.
 "She beats me every day. said Hayes, "asd nearly every night last winter when it was so cold she made me sleep in the woodshed. When did get chance to lie down in the house she kept me awake all night by turning loose photograph and play ing "Hiawatha." It was more than could stand. but I felt that it was my duty to do the best could. It got too much for me. though, and I had to have her arrested
 Pending investigation of her powers, Mrs. Hayes is in jail and the farmer is catching up on sleep.

If I give "a reception or dinner. they are as delighted as if they were going to be the hosts themselves. and they understand so well as to serving and arranging things thIt I can leave matters all most entirely in their hands
 My advice to all women" said Mrs. Pescud lis this: Do not nag at your servants: do not watch every thing they do; do not mistrust them: place them on their honar; let them feel that you believe in them as hon. est men and women; exact good work for good wages. and give them the same quality of food as they see upon your own table. In a word treat them as human beings. created by God men and women with souls to save. and lay to yourselves the obligation that the Catholic Church lays on all masters and mistresses of helping them on to heaven. Teach them the dignity of labor. and that no work can degrade us. though we may degrade our work. good old bishop once wrote:
 "'Who sweeps a room as to Gods
 laws
 Makes that and the action fine"
 These lines were written long be- fore the agitation of the woman ques- tion, or of the question of the degrada- tiOn of woman's labor. They are as true today as they were then. My servants are colored. They do not feel themselves degraded because they are servants: they have good books, good magazines, good clothing and good. healthy sleeping apartments. It is not every woman who keeps four servants, but the same rule applies where there is one maid of-all-work. Trust her. place her on her honor. be patient with her until she understands your ways. help her. allow her some freedom, do not he spy on her every action; In a word. treat her as a child of the one God, in whom all men are brothers, and hundreds of girls. and men, too, who now seek employment in laundries and

TELEGRAPH IMPROVEMENT.
An Instrument That May Work a Revo-
 lutiOn in TranamittinR.


 Washington, Dec. 17.-(Special.)- United States Consul E. T. Lieffield, at Freibrug, Baden, Germany, sends to the Department of Commerce and Labor the following interesting clip ping about a new high speed telegraph instrument from The London Daily Mail:
 remarkable high-speed telegraph instrument has been invented by MT. Donald Murray, who claims that it is as great an advance upon the Morse instrument as the Morse was upon its predecessor, the single needle. For twelve months the postoffice has had the instrument working for eXperl- mental purposes between London and Edinburgh. apparently with promising results, for 1t has now been decided to test further a perfected instrument that has been devised by MT. Murray during that period. If the Murray transmitter ever becomes universally adopted, it will mean that telegraph clerks will never have to put pen or pencil to a telegram, beyond marking upon it the time of handing in.
 The system is In some respects similar to the Wheatstone. It uses a paper tnpe. which, instead of being hand punched. is perforated by an in strument. The tape at the other end of a wire is similarly perforated. in stead of being marked by dots and dashes. This tape can be placed upon another machine, which converts the perforations into printed words on tele- graph forms. at the rate of about 120 to 150 words n minute. The sys tenn Is four or five times as fast as the Morse, and consists of three stages:
 First-The telegram Is copied on d machine resembling typewriter. Paper tape runs through this and Is perforated as each letter is struck. Second-The message. as 1t appears on the tape, is run at a very rapid rate through q transmitter, and an exact facsimile of the tape Is produced at the other end of the wire.
 Third-The tape is put through a typewriter with automatic mechanism. driven by a small electric motor. and the message reappears neatly printed, lined and spaced.
 This last stge may be described as being similar in effect to the placing of paper rolls of music in an automatic piano Whereas in that case the per forations are the cause of the notes be- ing struck and the music being pro- duced, so in this instrument the per forated paper is the cause of the type writer keys going down and the ham mers containing the letters striking the telegraph form and producing let terS and words.
 One of the effects of the use of this instrument, provided 1t be found ulti- mately to come up to expectations, would be a great saving of time. as wire would be capable of carrying four or five times as many words as at pre- | sent. and fewer persons would conse- auently be required to perform the | work Any person able to operate a 1 typewriter can transmit messages by l the Murray system.

 and rise to the demands of what Is ex- pected of her. She serves as a check on the other servants, though, indeed, there Is no need for this. I tell my houseman and my housemaid and cook that if they take anything from the pantry or sideboard without asking that their consciences will hurt them far more than mine will me. I have trained the boy and girl whom l have raised in strict adherence to religious principles. They have had the moral law impressed upon them, and they have never once in all the years that they have been in my service been guilty of petty pilfering of food or sweetmeats. or, indeed. been dishonest In any way. I do not allow such temptations to come to them in the way of eating. Whatever we have on the table forms part of the servants supply. They eat just what 1 eat. If We have al any time during the day cakes candies, fruits. etc, and l par take of these, my servants are each given their share, even out to the laundry. and so there is no wistful longing. and no occasion for pilfering.
 T treat my help as human beings. l see that their rooms are well sup piled in winter with warm bedding and fuel and good lights always I make 1t a point to keep them supplied with good literature I give them good books and magazines4to read. and thus keep them at home of an evening The effect of healthy literature Is al an effect of healthy literature is also apparent in their work and Thought. first read the books that l place in their hands. and if they point to a good moral I take the opportunity. after they have bade mo good morning, to ask how they liked the new book 1 gave them last night. and call attention to the effect 1t should have on their hearts and minds. I all low them to go out of an evening when they desire, but they seldom re- quest this, IS they have the privilege of visiting their friends during the day when there is nothing to do. and thus they seldom ask to go out at night or for an evening off. They like to stay at home at night. for my house Is their home. Their friends come to visit them, and l do not trouble myself about everything that concerns them. place my servants upon their honor, and have never had cause to regret it.
 On Sunday they all have their turn to go to church, and I generally ask them about the service and the sermon They are always highly delighted to tell me everything about themselves their

factories and stores would be glad to go into good homes and serve and give value received. as far as per sonal work is concerned, and more, far more, in the friendship of true and hon. est hearts, for one who has been kind to them.
 T expect to keep the same servants I have now till I die. or they pay the debt of nature. If Viola Morgan chooses to marry. I shall see that the man she marries is worthy of so good girl. and so with Charley Williams. God has placed them under my care, and intend to conscieptiously fulfill my duties by even the least of his humble children"
 It may be said by women who read this talk that Mrs Pescud is very wealthy woman, and her case is excep- tional. Perhaps 1t is: but there Is cer-
 tainly food for thought in all that this
 good and earnest woman has said, and 1t comments itself to the thoughtful | consideration of thousands of house. keepers. whether they keep one ser | want or five, as worthy of profound re- 1ection in wrestling with the servant problem.

for us, pays the bills, and renders a strict account of everything When we are away he is left in charge of the house. We have never had reason in any way to distrust him.
 T have had my maid. Viola Morgan, in my employ for seventeen years She too, came to me as a little girl to re- side with her aunt, who was my laun- dress, and who died after twenty years in my service. Viola was bright girl and 1 sent her to the public schools and kept here there throuogh the Grammar School course. Of morning and evening she would assist in the housework, and when I thought that she had learned sufficiently to read good books intelligently and write a good letter and keep her accounts took her regularly Into my service as housemaid. She was only years old when her aunt took her to rear and from that day may say that she has been under my influence and in my employ. She has full charge of my wardrobe, of my jewels. of everything. She is as careful about all as I could be myself. I'never think of locking up my things from her She is as hon. est as I could be with myself.
 Now, it may sound strange to those women who are always complaining about help, but I had a wonderful and fine experience with my old laun dress and her husband, Father Sanders as all the neighbors around here for squares used to reverently call him Ellen Sanders was my laundress. Like my other servants. she resided on the premises. For over twenty-three years she served me with a fidelity that re- called the faithfulness of some of the slave help in the old days of which my mother used to speak. Her husband- fine venerable old darkey with flow ing beard and that respectful manner that characterized the old-time South orn help, was our all-round man on the place during twenty years. He died three years ago. honored and re- spected by all. My husband and I were with his wife at his bedside when he from time to eternity. We buried him as one of our own. paying the funeral expenses and purchasing the plot of ground In which he was laid. Three years later, only a few months ago, his wife, Ellen Sanders. too. paid the great debt of nature. We buried her as we did Father Sanders and when these two fine, true types of conscien- tious domAstiC3 help had passed from our lives an6/home we missed them as though they were indeed of our own kith and kin.
 As I said before. l havo had my present cook five years. She is a splendid cook. and there is litle in
