Talks on Love
He Tells What h Is In q Lecture b
Fellow Counhymen Of fisr-
per, Comes.

MELLOW Countrymen OF Harpers
- Corners-The subject OF my lee
/ ture this evening has already
been announced by handbills,
but as some Of you may have got
things mixed up viii say that ii is
Love"
Let me begin business by asking.
What Is lover No one can give q
technical answer, but we've all been
there and know how 1t is. Perhaps II
Is needless to tell you that love be-
gan in the garden of Eden. Adam had
been sloshing around for weeks and
weeks all alone In the world and boss
Of everything. but he wasn't exactly
happy. He found himself slghing and
yearnlng and looking about for some
thing that wasn't there. Day by day
the feeling grew stronger, and be
couldn't shake II OF by climbing trees
or jumping over fences. 1t may seem
ridiculous to that old baldhead sitting
on the back bench, but that, my
friends. was the budding and the be-
ginning Of love In the human breast
One day Adam found Eve as he was
strolling around, and don't suppose
II was two hours before he was squeez.
ing her hand and calling her an angel
and telling her how much he loved her
Love today Is the same as II was in
the beginning, There has been no
change The feeling seems TO begin
way down In our toes and work up
until II lifts the hat OF our head
Sometimes there is loss of appetite con-
nected with It: sometimes it makes one
hungry; sometimes II makes one sleep
and dream Of cherubs flying about;
sometimes It keeps one awake and
pacing the floor all night.
There is no other human sentiment &C
strong. Ambition viii send a man out
to ward caucus on dark night, but
love will oblige him TO walk three miles
In q snowstorm to see the outside of
the house In which his girl resides. You
may hate man and keep II up for
three or four weeks, but II finally pals
on you, and you let 60. Not so with
love. 1t hangs right to you like a dog
to root. and you either marry the fe-
male or she throws you down with
dull thud and breaks your heart. II has
been truly said that II the sentiment
Of love was eliminated from the hu
man heart we would degenerate into
either wolves or donkeys, and no one
can doubt It.
In all times and all ages love has
been the spur to incite man to great
er efforts. l cite you the case of Alex
ander the Great. He was jogging
along at a pretty good gait at the age
Of twenty three, but the highest aim he
had In view was to command hun

Pitinan Killed.

Edward Reese, 29 years old, employed
as a pitman 5y the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, met horrible
death yesterday NOR ling in the pit under
the street railway tracks at Fifteenth and
H streets northeast. His head was
caught b. the bottom of a moving car
and crushed against the track, the body
being dragged from the pit and badly
mutilated. At this point the electric
system of the car line changes from an
underground to an overhead trolley. 1t
is the work of the pitman to make the
changes. 10 order TO take off the under
ground trolley Reeves had 10 stand on
box in the pit and detach two wires con-
nected with the bottom oflhe car. After
the usual time necessary to make this
change the conductor and motormsn say
that Reeves gave the signal to go ahead.
When the car had gone about live feet a
peculiar Earring was noticed. The car
was stopped at once, and the discovery
was made that the body of Reeves was
tightly wedged in between the bottom OF
the car and the track. In order to re-
move the body the car was run backward
and the lifeless body dropped back into
the pit. Death was instantaneous.

Armis,ioe Not Probable.

New York, July %. baron Komnra
and Minister Takahirra the japanese
peace plenipotentiaries have decided
that no steps looking toward an srmis-
tice shall be taken until the peace com
missioners of the two belligerents have
actually met at Portsmouth.
1t is pretty well understood now that
the japanese government does not wish
for an armistice as il is felt that under
its shelter the Russians would be less
anxious to reach settlement, and the
japanese plenipotentiaries will oppose
any move toward an armistice.
1t is we'll known that the President
desires an armistice but he is not in a
position to more than present his views
indirectly. The attitude of the Rus.
sian commissioners when they arrive will
probably have something to do with the
adjustment of this question.

Wireless Telegraphy Tests.

Lieutenant Kaiser, who had charge OF

cruiser Brooklyn, flagship of Rear. AID

France and return, has made a report to
Rear-Admiral Massey, chief of the bu-
reau of equipment, on the tests which
were nade during the voyage to deter
mine at what distance wireless messages
may be received aboard ship from shore
stations. The lieutenant reported that
the longest distance at which wireless
messages were read during the daytlm
was $40 sea miles, and at night |, 100 sen
miles, while wireless signal was heard
at distance of 1,7s0 sea miles. The
message received at a distance of l.lQO
miles, it was stated, came in so strong
that doubtless it could have been heard
at a still greater distance. Admiral
Sigsbee, while in the English channel in
dense fog, sent wireless message
broadcast requesting that the Am rlcan
Ambassador at Paris and the American
Consul at Cherbourg be notified of their
coming. The messages were heard The
