At one push of the official button the
electric greeting will permeatc our CON

TO Guam, to Manila and to HongkOng.
Flashing up and down the entire east

Pathetic Story.

A few weeks ago a young man
bought a pair of socks containing a
note saying the writer was an EN-
ploye of the Kenosha wis Knitting
Works, and wanted a good husband,
She gave her name and requested
the buyer, if unmarried, to write
with a view of matrimony. The
young man who found the note con-
sidered the matter in all its phases,
and then decided to write to the
girl. He did. Awaiting with anxi-
ETY. he was at last rewarded with a
curt letter, stating that the girl was
now the mother of two children and
had been married four years, and
the letter had been written ever SO
long ago. 1t was "sock dolager, -
and the young man hunted for a So
luton. He found it. The merchant
from whom he bought the socks
doesn't advertise. Fourth Estate.

Well Contented and Appar-
entity Not Much
Demented.
UNDER CLOSE GUARD.
Quite Talkative About His
Crime and His Escape
From Death.

The Louisville Times of yesterday
contained this about Geo. B. Warner,
the Louisville murderer, who es-
capped the gallows by being adjudged
insane:
The excitement following the ar
rival at the Western Kentucky Asy-
Ium for the Insane of George b.
Warner has subsidized and Warner
has dropped into the daily routine Of
life with the other patients.
When he was first received he
was the object of special care.
Superintendent Milton Board had
him assigned to what is known as
the violent ward and extra pre-
cautions were taken to prevent his
escape and to guard against suicide.
These precautions are still taken,
but Warner is not treated in any
wise differently from other patients
on the same ward.
He is kept at night in a room to
himself, from which there is no
avenue of escape. The window is
high above the ground and is Sc
curely screened. 1t is not possible
for Warner to either do himself in
irrv mr. tn Uet AWAY.
In the day he is taken with other
male patients out Of doors and
spends practically all the day in the
lawn, sitting under the trees, free to
anuse himself in any of the ways
permitted by the authorities of the
institution, but under close guard.
Warmers mental condition bears
no evidences of violent insanity or
detected melancholia. He is APP
parently quite at himself and is not
only we'll contented, but is seeming
ly quite cheerful.
His appetite is good and he does
not seem to be laboring under any
troubles, interfering with his health.
He shows no reserve about his case,
but talks freely, always justfying
the killing of Pulaski Leeds. He
realizes that he escaped the gallows
by a very close call, but says he was
wrongfully given the death sentence.
He gives any one who cares to listen
history of his case in detail and
talks in a very rational manner.
The moody, sluggish appearance
that characterized him at first,
doubtless due to the great strain he
had gone through, has disappeared
and he looks much better in every
way and is evidently quite willing to
be satisfied with his present lot.
DR.. Board, of course, has not
given an opinion on Warmers men
tai condition. A great many pa.
tients are quite rational for long
periods, but still have their spells OF
insanity

Noted Correspondent an'
Traveller.

Few newspapers in the United
States are able to command the ser
vices of as brilliant corps Of cores
pondents as that Of The Chicago
Record Herald. It's choice Of a
Washington correspondent is indi-
cative of The Record-Herald's policy
of obtaining the best there is to be
had. Walter Wellman the we'll
known author on political subjects
and one of the ablest writer's Of the
day acts in that capacity.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, Nov. 8, 1858. At the age Of
Ia he began his newspaper exper-
fence. establishing at that time q
weekly paper in the little town Of
Sutton, Neb. In 1873 he returned
to Ohio, and a year later established
the Cincinnati Evening Post. In
1884 he became the Washing COZ res
pondent of the Chicago Herald anC
in 1892 he visited Central America
and the West Indies and located the
landing place of Columbus on Wat
ling's (San Salvador) Island, and
marked the spot with a huge stone
monument. Mr.. Wellman's dashes
for the north pole are well known
In 1894 he made the first of his two
arctic voyages of exploration, reach
ing the latitude of 81 degrees north
east of Spitzberges. In 1898 he re-
turned to the North, penetrated to
Franz Josef Land, returning again
to this country in 1899. On each
trip he met with wonderful success
in the discovery of new islands and
lands, and brought back scientific
data and information of great value
to the American Geographical So
ciety.
Mr.. Wellman has been a volum-
inous writer for scientific magazines
and popular periodicals. On return
ing from his arctic trips he renewed
his connection with The Record
Herald, and is now the Washington
correspondent of that paper. His
incisive discussion of contemporary
affairs has given him a high place
in the regard of statesmen and
scientists of the day.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
mot reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution

AN infiamed condition of the mucous

this tube is infamed you have a

ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-

Probably 1000 People At
tended the Formal
Opening.
QUICK TESTS MADE.
Refreshments and Souvenirs
For ALI Who Inspected
New Quarters.

Last Friday night was an event in
the history Of the fire department.
It is estimated that 5000 persons
went out to inspect the new fire de-
partment building as well as to
catch on" to some Of the tricks Of
the firemen and show their appre-
citation Of their efforts to serve the
public. The general arrangement
of the building and its perfect adap-
tation was fully commented on and
the frequent tests made to show the
efficiency of the alarm system were
watched with a great deal of Gu
rosity.
Before 8 o'clock the lower floor,
the doors and pavement were filled
with the throng that had gathered,
while the entire upper floor was full.
Probably half the people present did
not have a chance to reach theupper
floor.
The test of the alarm system was
one Of the principal features Of the
evening and demonstrated it's per-
feet efficiency. An alarm was turns
ed in from Gray's stable and the
time consumed in taking down the
receiver, turning in No. 5, telling
the central office of the Home Tele-
phone Co., 1--WE are testing" and
then sounding the alarm at the fire
station was six seconds, and in
sixteen more the department was
ready to start. The time consumed
in getting ready to start in another
test after the alarm was
turned in was fifteen seconds
Nothing better could be asked 'sH1
Words of praise for the firemea
were heard on every hand and they
did everything to make the evening
one Of enjoyment to all. The full
company composed of George E..
Randle, chief, E. P. Fears, assistant
chief; Ellis Roper, Ed Hester, John
Turner. Ed Schmidt, William Turn
err, Ernest Hayden, Lee Morris, Bob
Turks, Ed Marshal, and J. D..
Thompson, were out in full uniform,
and fully appreciated the demonstra-
ton of the good will of our people.
Refreshments in the way Of lem
onade and cake were served to, all
who were fortunate enough to
wedge their way through the crowd
and gain the upper floor. The fine
training of the two horses, "Jouett"
asd "Lucian" showed them to be
very intelligent animals, and the
large crowd did not in the least pre-
vent their responding promptly to
every call. na9

tables were faithful, in high good
humor and added greatly to the
pleasure of the evening.
