that he owned nothing to back the Ora

contain gold.

BIG PRICE FOR BABYs MILK

Plainfield. N. J.-Outside Of their or
binary expenses, it is costing Mr.. and
Mrs. Aubrey Weightman, Of Philadel-
phia, 81 day to visit the latter's
mother, Mrs. Rowland Cox, of West
Seventh street. They are accompanied
by the Weightman son and heir, for
whom Quaker City physician pre-
scribed a diet of milk from one COW.
While he was at his own home this
was easily done, but when the trip to
Plainfield was made his parents were
confronted with the problem OF get
ting the same milk to their visiting
place or moving the cow with them
Finally arrangements were made with
the owner of the bovine to send one
of his men to this city with a quart
of milk each day. and this is now be-
ing done. The distance between the
two cities is 70 miles, and the milk
mans expenses are just 81. The milk
might possibly be delivered by express,
but there is the fear that the breakage
of the precious bottle might work in
jury to Baby Weightman. Mr.. Weight
man is a grandson of the late James

Man Prefers Cell, Deserving Wife and
Children Because spouse's Moth .
er Won't Leave.

Mineola, N. Whether a man has
the right to desert his wife and children
because his mother-in-law refuses to
leave his home, was the question that
came before County Judge Jackson, at
the Nassau county courthouse. The
case was the appeal OF William Thomp-
son, a Waterman Of summer houses Of
Inwood. who was found guilty by JUS
tice of Peace Wallace OF deserving his
wife and six children, and who was or
dered to give 5000 bonds to support his
family or go to Jail. He chose to 60 to
Jail, and has been there for months.
Lawyer Ensign, who appeared for
Thompson, said the defendants mother
in-law was the cause of all the trouble.
His client, he said, loved his wife and
children, and would gladly return and
support them, provided his mother-in-
law would leave the house. Thompson
had told her, the lawyer said, that either
she or he would have to get out, and
when she refused to 60 he went him
self.
fsAsisstant district Attorney Earl BEN

why Thompson. could have any difficulty

lance and Offer It to Brother $
Who Will Accept.

Ottawa, Ill-A remarkable illustra-
ton of unsel6shness and indifference
to money was brought to light this
week in La Sale county. Joseph F.
Werseley died last winter near Men
dota, leaving an estate valued at $113,-
765. The will provided for the division
of the estate into three parts, the heirs
being John @. Worsley, of Rronough,
Mo-, and his two sisters. Amanda and
Sarah, near Mendoza. When the latter
were notified that SIS, 1000 was to be d.
vided equally between them they both
declined to receive cent of it, declar-
ing that the money would only be a
nuisance to them, that they had all
they needed to make them happy and
conteuted for the remainder of their
lives and that their brother could make
better use Of it than the sisters. They
say that they fully appreciate the
spirit in which the money was left to
them and are grateful in return, but
they are of one mind in refusing to
take the money.
The position taken by the sisters has
been referred to the courts, and the
will now being probated will doubtless
be passed upon shortly and the entire
estate turned over to the brother.

NO SLEEP IN THREE YEARS
Now Wakeful One Is Beginning to
Feel Drowsy and Maps Once
in Awhile.

Williamsport, Pa.-Richard Even
den, who says that for three years he
has not had a full nights sleep, is be-
ginning to feel the return of desire
for sleep. He has been an inmate Of
the almshouse for some time, and
while he goes to bed regularly each
night at about eight o'clock and re-
mains there until six o'clock the next
morning, he declares he does not close
his eyes. Only recently he has expert
enced brief periods of time during
which he feels sleepy. This generally
comes to him at about IL a. M, and
when he attempts to go to bed the
drowsy sensation departs and he does
not sleep. Within the last two months
he has had a few nights on which he
slept about two hours. Other inmates
of the almshouse complain because
EEenden wants to talk while they are
eRdeavoring to go to sleep.

Durham, Me.-Leading caravan OF
nearly every species of the domestic
animal, T. A. Smith and wife of Long
Island City, N. Y, have arrived at
Shiloh and given the entire lot to Rev.
Frank w. Sanford, founder and leader
of the "Holy Ghost and U.s. society.
No sooner had Mr. Smith safely landed
his Noah ark at Shiloh than Sanford
appointed him chief farmer and will
give him entire charge of the vast
estate owned by the Holy Ghosters.
The flock of hens which Smith
brought from Long Island City will be
the, nucleus of the largest poultry farm
IN the world, according to Sanford.
who has ordered ineubators with a
total capacity of more than 5000 eggs.
Evidently believing that eontribu-
tions of money from different parts Of
the, world are nearing the end, Sand
ford has expressed his determination
to make Shiloh self-supporting, and he
Is praying that each convert to his
belief shall be possessed of some do
mestic animal. Six farms in prox-
Unity to Shiloh have been bought by
Sanford in the last few days, and in
every instance those who have sold to
the preacher have deserted the town
of Durham. The residents here are
uneasy about the future, since Sand
ford recently showed his power in
political matters by procuring the
election of several of his followers to
town Offices. .

world. Only the other day Superln-5
stendent of Streets James Donovan
opened the valve which set this pow-

engine was whirling around at the
rate Of II revolutions minute, 5000
gallons being raised at one revolution,
it's total capacity being 72,000,000 gal
Ions every "a hours.
The engine arrived in Boston in
September, 1908, but it is so massive
in size that it has taken long time
to get it erected in such position as
warranted it being started. Plans for
this machinery were begun late in
1899, and in January, 1900, the city
made contract with Philadelphia
firm for building it.
The pump was completed in 1908 and
a 1,500-ton barge was required to trans
port it by water to Boston. Its finished
weight is 100000 pounds, and it's ap.

This giant pumping engine has one
triple expansion beam fly wheel en-
CINE of the E. D. Leavitt type, which
operates two single-acting pumps. The
steam cylinders are vertical and in
verified: pistons of the high-pressure
and intermediate cylinders being con-
nected to one end of the beam, and
that OF the low-pressure cylinder to the
other end. The steam cylinders are
steam jacketed throughout.
There are two tubular reheaters be-
tween cylinders to reheat the steam
from one cylinder to another. The
steam valves are of the gridiron type,
driven by cam valve gear, and there
is jet condenser with a vertical
single-acting air pump driven from the
main beam.
All of the valve connections are
pushed with hardened steel bushings,
ground, also the pins Of the same are
hardened and ground to fit.
The sizes of the cylinders are 1919,
SO and 52A in diameter, and they have
a 120-inch stroke. The diameter of the
plungers is 60 inches and the working
steam pressure is 1876 pounds to the
square inch. The diameter of the
crank shaft is "a inches; the main
journal boxes of the engine are 10
