A Teiegraphine Typewriter.
j. c. Barclay, assistant general man
ager of the Western Union Telegraph
company, says he has perfected de-
vice whereby messages can hereafter
be sent by the operation Of an ordinary
typewriter keyboard During the past
week experiments have been conducted
successfully on a wire running from
New York to Buffalo The inventor
operator will be done away with and
that messages can be sent with more
accuracy and greater speed by this new
device. No man will be needed on the
receiving end. The only work necessary
will be to see that the paper on the ma
chine is kept straight and replaced
when sheet has been exhausted.
When put in use this new contrivance
is expected to revolutionize the whole
telegraph system. For long distances,
where repeating of messages is es-
sential, Mr.. Barclay says he has an at.
tachment that makes it as easy to send
from San Francisco to New York as
from Buffalo

10. Captain rude built the boat i'll
order to win prize which the French
government has offered for the best
constructed life-boat, and there is no
doubt but what the young captain has
won the prize. The boat is equipped
with only one mast, has an observa-
ton tower in the center of the deck
and has displacement of about
eighteen tons. Hundreds of people
warned young Brude not to make the
trip, but in spite of all the warnings he
started out Aug Is, stating that his
intention was to cross the Atlantic and
attend the st. Louis exposition. Cap
tain Brude was accompanied on his
hazardous journey by War Thorsen,
from Aalesund, Lars Madsen, from
Vestuaes and K. Johansen from Nord-

be in general use by all steamboat
companies and will be valuable addi
ton to the many inventions which
have been made for the purpose of in

Census Expert on Sex.
In bulletin written for the census
bureau by Professor F. W. Wilcox Of
Cornell university it is asserted that
women live longer than men and that
taking the population Of the world as
whole or that part of it which has been
counted with regard to sex distinction,
there are several millions more males
than females. In the United States he
finds the excess Of males is greater
than the average for all countries,
while Europe has an excess of females.
American cities especially have more
females than males as a rule. This he
attributes to the greater opportunity in
the cities for women to find employ
ment. Professor Wilcox thinks that
the excess Of males among the whites
and Mongolians is due to the influence
of immigration. There has been since
1880 large Increase in the proportion
OF females attending school in this
country. In the period of life beyond
the age of eightythree women are more
numerous than men, An apparent ex-
cess of women Is also noted in the pc
Rod from sixteen to twenty-five. but
the professor explains that this is prob
ably apparent rather than real because,
of the greater number Of women ''who
claim enormously to belong to this age
period" Among negroes there are more
females than males, and the contrary
wise among the Indians.

WORST STORM
 IN DECADE SWEEPS
 PACIFIC COAST
BROKE YESTERDAY AFTER IMMENSE DAMAGE THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ESTIMATE
 OF LOSS IS MILLION DOLLARS LIVES LAST

Los Angeles, March 14.-Today dawned clear and cool in Los Angeles, and it is apparent the great storm that has ragged almost necessarily along the southern coast for the past forty-eight hours is over. It has been the most disastrous storm expe- rienced in this region in a decade.
 The total damage, scattered over a wide stretch of territory, is con servatively estimated at an amount in excess of a million dollars. This includes damage to streets, build ings, bridges and other property in this city and along the coast.
 The total fall of rain varies in the different localities, ranging from 3.52 inches to $40 inches.
 The storm was accompanied by most unusual phenomena in the shape of a strong southeastern gale, continuous rolls of heavy thunder. flashes of lightning and occasional showers of hail The wind, which at times attained a velocity of 36 miles an hour, did immense damage all along the coast.
 At Santa Monica the loss is esti- mated at s20O,OOO. Two piers and one wharf were ruined, and extensive beach improvements in course of con struction were pounded to pieces.
 At Long Beach boats were pulled from their moorings, driven ashore and completely wrecked. New piers built of stone ond concrete were also damaged. Loss at this port is esti- mated at $20,O0O.

HOLOCAUST IN
 NEW YORK CITY TENEMENT FIRE
TWO HUNDRED SLEEPING INMATES AWAKENED ID FIND BUILDING IN FLAMES AND ESCAPE
 FOR MANY CUT 0Ff---EINETEEN ARE DEAD

New York. March 14.-Nineteen persons dead, fifty seriously injured, some so seriously that they may die, and nearly 200 persons temporarily homeless, is in brief the story of New Yorl1's latest fire.
 The victims of the disaster were typical East Side people. The scene was a typical tenement, and the incl dents attending it were in many ways peculiar to that cosmopolitan quarter.
 To the apparently reckless display of heroism shown by firemen, ponce- men and volunteer rescuers is alone due the fact that the number of dead is not greater.
 Two hundred persons herded in a big five-storied double-decker tene- ment house were sleeping when the flames from an overturned kerosene lamp in the basement spread through out the structure and wrapped the entire building in flames, almost be- fore an alarm had been sounded.
 Even when the sleepers awoke at the first cry it was almost too late, but hardly more than moment was
