GIRLS CLOSE CALL.
Wires Become Crossed and Play
Havoc With Telephone System.

Occur D'Alene, Idaho, July ga feed
wire of the electric road fell across the
telephone wire between this place and
Spokane and as a consequence every
connection in the local exchange was
burned out.
Miss Phena, the local operator, had
just removed the steel headgear from
her head and as she leaned back in her
chair the crash came, and for an in
slant the whole interior of the ex-
change was one mass of flame, and the
headgear she had just discarded was
writhing along the floor, emitting
sparks of flame, the band being red hot.
Had she kept the headpiece on a few
minutes longer the result would have
been serious and probably fatal.
A line crew happened to be near by
and was put to work at once, and by
working all night were able to connect
up temporarily both the long distance
and the local lines by morning.

Formally Notified That He Is Wanted
in Topeka.

DR.. S. S. Estey, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church at Salina, was on
Thursday night by a unanimous vote
of the congregation of the First Pres
byterian church of this city, invited
to accept the pulpit recently made va
cant by the resignation of DR.. J. d.
Countermine. His salary was fixed at
$2,700 a year, although the special
committee which recommended him,
named his salary at $4,000. The
church, however, provides the manse
on Harrison street with light, heat
and water free.
Before the vote was taken a tele-
gram was received from DR.. Counter
mine at Asbury Park urging the con-
grega ton to call DR.. EStey.
1t is not known whether Dr. Estey
will accept the place, although some
members of the congregation who
know him well state that there will
be no difficulty on that point If ne
accepts, he will probably take charge
by September 1.

VOICE FROM NORTH TOPEKA.
Correspondent Has a Word to Say
About Transfers.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Referring to the article in Tues
days Journal relating to the city rail-
way.
A ten cent fare to Vinewood is un-
doubtedly low enough. Vinewood is
a luxury, and luxurieS are more or
less expensive. A ride to Vinewood
is cheap enough at ten cents, is not
expensive. But what the people want
most of all of the city railway is bust
ness accommodations. That is an ev-
eryday affair and not a Saturday,
Sunday nor a holiday matter. North
Topeka especially puts in a plea for
pure business management of the city
railway-business management in the
interest of the people. There is no
accommodation for North side people
either going or coming. 1t may be
a convenient thing for the company
for cars to leave while passengers are
on the middle of the bridge, whether
facing north or south. Why is it that
these cars cannot run so as to make
close connections BY rights the COM
pany ought to transfer passengers by
carriage or otherwise. They are paid
for doing this and the old company
did it. But if they will not then there
should be something done to avoid
these veXatious delays. Let it be
hoped. as Shakespeare makes Antonio
say. They'll take suggestions as a
cat laps milk

YOUTH MARRIEs HIS AUNT.
She Is 80 and Widow of His Fathers
Brother.

New York, July 29.-By marrying his
aunt, Samuel r. Hawkshaw, a well
known young man of Glen Cove, has
added another chapter to the romances
OF that quaint Long Island village.
The wedding was kept secret for a
week, and then became known only by
the mereSt accident.
The bridegroom's aunt. Mrs. Addie
Hawkshaw. was the widow of mis-
fathers brother. Richard. Samuel had
always been her favorite nephew and
she never forgot how kindly he condol-
ed with her in her bereavemnt.
Hawkshaw is 20 years of age and his
bride not yet 80. A neighbor VINO met
young Rlwkshaw asked concerning the
health of his aunt"
Aunt Why she's my wife" declared
Hawkshaw, and the secret was out.
He then explained that he and his
aunt had gone to Sea Cliff last week
and were married by the Rev. DIR.
James Carter. pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
Mrs Hawkshaw blushingly said it
was a love match.
I always had a sentimental feeling
for Sam" she said. He was so kind
that one couldn't help falling in love
with him."

POLICE COURT NOTES.

1t seems that to sit upon the piano
during the progress OF a dance IS not
considered good form. William Wag-
ner, colored, who was attending a ne
gro dance at Weber's hall, near the
corner of Fifth and Kansas avenues
| had this fact forcibly brought to his
attention Thursday evening by Dee
Williams, the floor manager. It's a
certainty that Williams was not in
good form for he was put down and
out in the brief stroke of the minute
hand. Williams left his nom de plume
forcibly impressed upon the cOunte-
nance of Wagner who was bleeding
freely from the gashes in that part
of his anatomy. Wagner states that

that they had called to deliver a note

woman claimed that she was on visit
from Salina and was staying with Jane
Rhodes her friend, who boarded at
the Brown house. Browns claimed
that they ran a boarding house and

STOP WITH ONE DAY ONLY.
Make Plenty of Noise When It Is Due,
But Do Not Garry
It Over.

1t is time that all persons who have
reached the years. of discretion should
enter a protest against the celebration
of independence Day by unlimited and
unqualified noise. We are not quite
of the opinion of Carlyle that the dis
like of noise is a measure of civiliza-
tion-although there is something to
be said for that, too, says the lndepen-
dent. Neither do we believe in regu-
the pleasures of youth too
strictly by the tastes of age. All young
people apparently delight in pure I'M
mitigated noise, and as youth, accord
ing to our friends the evolutiOnists, is
in a state of inherited savagery, its joy
in squibs and crackers would seem to
be a confirmation of Carlyle's decree.
However, youth also has its rights
and privileges. Let there be noise on
the Fourth of July-savage, nerve
rending, peace-destroying noise, not
without the desired accompaniment of
burnt clothes, lacerated fingers, de-
oculated heads and lockjaw-the last
evil bringing the relief of silence at
least. But we pray for a limitation OF
time. From sunrise to sunset is surely
sufficient for the national relapse int
barbarism.

HOW HE WON THE BOYS.
and Help the Teacher of
Restless Boys.

A young man, fresh from a rural
town in the east. was asked to teach
a large class of boys in a mission
school in one of the worst districts in
a great western city. He was Jealous

of the difficulties in the duty confront
ing him. But he had been a boy him
self and not so long ago, either, and
this, he fancied, was fairly good equip
ment for the task. al 1t was.
But he began to fear that the species
before him was peculiar-that never
had be encountered anything similar
or having aught in common with speci-
mems of the genus boy whose habitat
is the slums of a large city. There
was a point of contact, however.
The young man, inexperienced and
unframed, with visions of an orderly,

fore MIN and blurring nearer things,

'ch1IsT AND COMMON TASKS
The Latter Nav re Dignifed and Glo-
rifed Under thS TouvS n
Presence Of tbs Master. =.

Doubtless there are thousands OF
consecrated and Jealous Christians
who, compelled to expend their chief
life-force upon plain tasks in humble
spheres, are inclined to regret thai
their place or calling Is not NOR
friendly to spiritual development.
Here is, for instance, a spiritually as
piring young man who is troubled be-
cause his daily work, though innocent
in itself, serves as a constant drag
upon his spiritual nature instead OF
an encouragement to his spiritual
progress. How much easier it would
be to be a Christian, he has thought,
if he might be employed in writing ed
itorials for a religious magazine, or
teaching in a college, or preaching the
Gospel, instead of endlessly adding up
columns of figures. Here again is a
la~rge-spirited woman who feels that
her life might become vastly
helpful to the cause of her Master If
she could escape the drudgery of
household cares, and become a lecturer
or authoress-follow some line that
looks especially friendly to moral ex-
pansion and some spiritual fruitful
ness.
But, says Rev. George Francis
Greene, d. D., in the N. Y. Observer,
two things may be said. First of all,
these occupations that look most
friendly to the growth of the soul have
their own peculiar temptations to spir-
itual depression; they are not always
in themselves as helpful to spiritual
progress as they seem. And in the next
place. the main question for a servant
of Christ is not what our work is but
the spirit in which we do 1t. 1t is quite
as easy for the worker to redeem his
work as it is for the work to glorify
the worker. Because there were saints
"of Caesars household there was a
breath of the fragrance of Heaven
about the very throne of Nero. Tent
making in the hands of st. Paul be-
m IN employment fit for a king.
The garments created by a Dorcas look
as though stitched with threads of
gold. Watching a flock of sheep be-
m as sweet a work as the vocation
of him who has the gift Of tongues,
when angels sing to the shepherds from
the clouds.
