HUGHES MARRIEs BARONESS.
Former Meriden Man Takes Wife in H. Germany.

Former Meriden Man Takes Wife in N Germany.
 It has just been announced that Dr. Oliver J. D. Hughes has married the Baroness von Petersburg, of Coburg, Germany, where Dr. Hughes was Uni ted States consul for several years, He received his appointment from President Mckinley while resident of Meriden. s''
 While in Berlin he carried on an ex- tensiye general medical practice, was a prominent member of the local medical board and very popular. He speaks several languages and tells many tales of personal experiences in all parts of the, world, especially of the Franco Prussian war, during which he was awarded the Iron Cross, he said. When examined for the consulship he is said to have passed perfectly on all points.
 While he was actively engaged as consul many reports came from Coburg relative to this country's trade, etc., but the most startling report to his many acquaintances was that he had been asked to resign. Domestic trou- bles were hinted at, and Dr. Hughes soon disappeared from the. public eye. Then came news that Mrs. Hughes had been granted divorce from the for mer consul. Dr. Hughes moved to New Rochelle, where he is now practising medicine. It is said that his marriage to the Baroness took place some time ago, and that an heir has been born.
 Furthermore, it is said on reliable au- thority that the Baroness is the daugh- ter of a field marshal in theg German army with whom he became aequaint- ed while in Coburg. The marriage was confirmed yesterday by Dr. Hughes.
 The name won Petersburg" does not appear in Almanack de Gotha.

ouEER RIrs oF HISTORY.

In the Gentleman's Magazine, an old English publication for 1750 appears the following: "On Wed, 29 (August) at seven in the morning was decided at Newmarket 8 remarkable wager for one thousand guineas Give thousand dol lars) laid by Theobold Taaf, Esq, against the Earl of March and Lord Eglinton, who were to provide a four wheel carriage with a man in it to be drawn by four horses and nineteen miles an hour; it was performed in f1f- ty-three minutes and twenty-seven sec onds." Each of the horses was ridden by jockey, and only harnesssd to the carriage by loose straps. Between the hind wheels sat another jockey, who guided the carriage by moving handle like that of the modern bicycle.
 Bells have been employed in associa- ton with religious worship since the early days of Egypt. Cymbals and handbells and small crotals served for the festival of Iris. Aaron and other Jewish high, priests wore bells of gold upon their raimett. In camp and gar rison the Greeks employed bells. The Romans announced the hour of bathing by their melody. Copper and tin, the old composition, is still regarded as the best bell metal. Steel has been tried, but does not make a successful bell. Glass bells are mellow and beautiful in tone, but the material is too fragile. The one metal which is impossible is that which everybody imagines makes the best bell-silver. 7@
 Tennis was played in London in the sixteenth century in covered courts erected for the purpose. Both Henry VII. and Henry VIII. were fond of the game, and the latter added to the pal ace of Whitehall tennis courts" Charles II. was an accomplished tennis player and had particular dresses for playing in.

SCIENTIFIC WONDERS.

Those rams'-horn trumpets that fiattened to the the groun the walls of Jericho may have after all been within the range of human means. A young French inventor. M. Dessaud, who devotes himself to science in a country retreat, has, under M Berthe- lots patronage, shown the Academy of Sciences how a sound ray may be multiplied to infinity. He has devised an apparatus both simple and ingen- ious-not larger than a phonograph- by means of which a whisper will be magnffied into a shout. There are .microphones that can do this, but M. Dessaudls apparatus, which is purely mechanical, no electric current being used, is merely in the experimental stage, and he hopes to so improve it as to make the walking of green bug. or the pusations of its body audible. Wha would happen were such sound-mul- tiplier placed in front of a roaring gust of wind, of a laundering high tide, of the Trolhattan, the Victoria -zambesi. or the Niagara waterfall, I fear to con- lecture. The atmosphere disturbance caused by portable sound nagnifier will break windows at some distance. Rationalists may ask whether the sa- cerdotal army that marched under Josshua against Jericho did not en- ply sound-magnif1ers. The art of the Egyptians from which Moses and his lieutenant would have borrowed must have been great. However this night have been, M. Berthelot says there is nothing conjectural in the power M, Dessaud claims for his invention. One must bow to such an authority, and think of the best educational and other means for banishing all taste for cru city and destruction from the hearts, brains and inherited instincts of the rising generation.
 While on scientific subjects, must not nsg glect the lecture of Dr. Edward Brandy, who is less well-known be- yond the French frontiers than he de- serves to be. This is due, l dare say. to his modesty, and his want of talent as a self-advertiser. In this country he is regarded as the real inventor of wireless telegraphy. The discovery of the sentiveness of metallic powders to hertzian wages is irdisputably his, T wish could do without t. technical

words, but l, cannot, and so must say that Dr. Branly made the first ''coher- err with a goose quill, and was the first to announce that this simple ap- paratus would tell of the existence of hertzian waves at distance. He has become, with the pecuniary aid of the French Government, the specialist of wireless telegraphy in France. Invited by Le Matin, which got up the lecture on this subject, went to hear it in the Tracadero Hall. It was tout Paris affair.
 Dr. Branly is middle-aged, or it may be older. He is unaffected, modest, but not to the -effacement degree of NJ. Cruie, and looks man of thought strenuous thought-and character. The 5000 persons or there abouts forming the audience received him with enthus- jam. He performed a number of ex- periments to show that wireless tele- graphy is but one of the many things that can be done at a long distance. Having seen this demonstration, I in cline to think you may do almost any thing at distance and am not without faint expectation that interplantary relations may be established by tubes filied with metallic powders. You can, to return to plain, prosic fact; direct an air-ship, pilot train, exlode a mine iwth the Brandy agency. The lec- turer made a sign'to an assistant from the far end of the room.

 , It has often been said that John c. Calhoun was a student in Bethlehem. This is undoubtedly mistake. His preparation for Yale college was among his friends near home. After his grad uation in 1904 he took his course of law study at the law school in Litchfeld. He was often in Bethlehem. He had young friends at school there, and it was. great pleasure to him to visit them and their sociable teacher and hear him preach on the Sabbath; for Dr. Backus in those days was at his best.

REARED IN OLD 1ITcHFIELD.
Dr. Robert Crane Tells of Three of Our
 ... - Famous Men.


 .~. Famous Men.
 In an interesting historical sketch of pioneer days in Litchfield, published in the Hartford Courant, Dr. Robert Crane, of Bethlehem; has the following to say of the residence in Litchfield county of three famous men:
 As to the students in Bethlehem in the olden time, there is no evidence that Lyman Beecher was one of them. Henry Ward Beecher's schooling there was with Rev. John Langdon in the year 1925, when the boy was twelve years old. The Beecher family was still in Litchfield, but preparing to re- move to Boston. As there was no room for the lad in MT. Langdon's family, quarters and care were secured for him in the family of Mrs. Ingersoll, near by. In the year 1773, being the next year after his graduation at Princeton col- lege. Aaron Burr, who had, it is said, been for some time subject to consider able religious doubt and inquiry; went to live for time in the family of pr. Bellamy for the avowed purpose of settling his mind in regard to the claims of Christianity. It is possible that he was, the rather, intent on con- verting Dr. Bellamy from the error of his theological ways. But this aged divine had met with just such pre- sumptious experimenters before, when he went about with a loud voice preaching repentance in the days of Whitefield. He knew what was in man. After some months of tarry in Bethlehem and much discussion, Burr most deliberately rejected the faith of his ancestors and loudly avowed him self as solely a man of the world and of the flesh of all it's heredltaments, His case Is worthy of notice, not because it Is, in any sense, quite rare, or peculiar, but in that he was of Q most exempla- rv and pious parentage, and in that he

THE WONDERS OF THE STEINER
 TONE PIANOFORTE.

Whenever there is a great con cert, the performer upon the piano. forte looks for the best instrument that can be obtained, so as to do justice to his noble art. It is in this connection that we call the att tentton of the public to Mr. August F'raemcke's playing of the tremen- dous and difficult Liszt Hungarian Fantasie, with full orchestral ac- compartment, which took place at the Schiller performance a week ago at the New Haven Opera house before large audience. The piano used upon that occasion was again a SteinertOne concert grand, be- cause MT. Fraemcke has often play ed that special make in his public concerts in New York and Brook lyn, and he desired to again avail himself of the tremendous tonal powers of the SteinerfQne piano. His success was instantaneous, and when the people left the hall they carried with them to their homes the sweet and delightful music evoked from the Steinertone grand. No better proof as to the superior- ity of one plano over another can be obtained than when that piano is heard in a large hall with an or chestra of fifty men, and it still keeps up it's characteristics as a pianoforte.
 stIne StelneftGne Company &recOm- mendS it's instruments to the pur- chasing public as the very best on the market. A further demonstra- tion of the foregoing claims By the manufacturers Is the invitation which is cordially extended to all. buyers or not, to examine and play these instruments at the factory. if accepted. There they can be seen and heard under unpretentfous con- ditions in the warerooTns. where the assurance Is given that these instruments can be obtained at very reasonable factory prices.

HOMELESS BOY is FORCED TO BEG;
ARRESTED AND HELD BY POLICE

Friendless and alone, without a cent
in the world, his arm severely injured
by fall from a freight train and beg
ging on the street as a last resort to
get enough money for a cup of coffee
and a piece of bread, Joseph Allack a
lad of 13 years, was arrested yesterday
on Broadway by officer WILDER. Later
in the day he was arraigned before
Judge Austin and told a most pitiful
tale of his fight against adversely.
For three years Allack has been
without a relative. His parents died of
the heat prostrations in st. Louis three
years ago; his sister, who was three
years his senior, died the previous
year, the victim of street car acci-
dent in st. Louis. His only brother
was killed in the Spanish American
war
After the death of his parents the
youth began selling newspapers in St
Louis, but, owing to an accident that
winter, the result of penchant for fol-
lowing the fire wagons, he had been
obliged to spend three months in the
county hospital. When released from
that place he again sold newspapers
but met with little success. Acting on
the suggestion that he beat his way to
San Francisco, the following summer
found him trying to sell papers in the
northern metropolis.
A few months later, for a petty Of
tense, he was placed in the Boys and
Girls Aid society school in San Fran
cisco, and the following summer went
to the berry fields in Sebastopol. Not
satisfied with this life he escaped from
the camp one night with three other
lads and made his way to San Jose.
Failing to find work there he was ar
rested as vagrant and sent to the
detention home.
Says Hunger Forced Him to Beg
With two other lads he made his es-
cape from that place and worked his
way to Los Angeles. When a few
miles out of the city he leaped from
the freight train and cut his arm badly.
In this condition he wandered into
Los Angeles yesterday.
Having suffered the ravages of hun
ger for many days he attempted to beg

COL0NISTS ARE COMING
FROM MIDDLE WEST
HUNDREDS SEEKING HOMES IN
CALIFORNIA
Small Ranches in Demand-Passenqer
Agents Predict Great Influx of
Tourists During Coming Winter.
Many Purchase Seashore Property

ut is my impression that a larger
number of colonists are coming to Los
Angeles and its vicinity from the middle
west this year than has been the case,
even relatively, in previous years. 1
have no statistics on the subject, but
am inclined to think that not as many
settlers are coming here from New
England and the middle states as for
merly came. while the middle west is
increasing it's quota" said an official of
the Southern Pacific yesterday
1t has been remarked by some Los
Angeles real estate men that they have
done more business this year with peo-
pie from Colorado than in previous
years and that great many of the
purchasers Of beach property are peopl-
from Colorado, Utah. Nevada and the
states of the central west. Passenger
officials of the different eastern roads
that have offices here when asked about
the composition of colonist travel were
divided in their opinions on the sub
ject.
officials of the Santa Fe said that
colonist traffic coming over their lines
from far eastern points seemed to show
no diminution relatively. They were
of the opinion that the number of in
valids coming to Los Angeles over their
lines was nowhere near as great rela-
lively as in earlier days and that the
number of colonists coming here for
settlement from the middle west shows
a constant increase.
The New York city offices of all lines
have entered into more active compe-
tition for colonist business for Califor-
mia than has ever before been the case.
Banners have been strung on Broad
way to advertise cheap rates to Cali
fornia and a great increase in traffic
from New York has been the conse-
quence.
The local representatives of various
eastern lines say that there has been a
heavy influx this year of colonists from
Iowa, Illinois and Missouri. Many peo-
pie from Colorado have been led to
come to Los Angeles as a result of un-
settled conditions in that state.
In former years it was less the Gus
tom than it is now for people to take
advantage of colonist rates to do pre-
liminary looking around one year before
bringing their families out the next
People of small capital from the
middle west are coming here in great
numbers. They are buying both city
property and farm lands. Many people
from the section west Of the Rockies
are acquiring seaside homes at the
beach towns. Traction officials have
noted this tendency for a long time.
Passenger men remark that their SER
vice is being largely utilized by agri-
culturists from the central west who
have comparatively small capital that
they wish to invest in lands lying about
Los Angeles. All railroad men are
agreed that every year shows an in
creased disposition in people at eastern
points to turn to Los Angeles either for
refuge during the winter months or
for permanent settlement. Colonist
travel has been heavy and tourist travel
will be heavy this year.
