More About Cobalt.

My Dear Mr.. Crider: | have your
autographic letter which next to one
received from Mr.. Edison yesterday
prize very highly and have left instruct
ions in my will that these two let
ters are to be held, not for the postage
as you may have imagined from the
preceding, but to show how closely the
penmanship Of two really great men
compare.

p. this morning and told him if you de-
sired to copy it in closing up the Cob
alt ore matters you we're at liberty to
do so but | would like to have it back

We published in our issue Of July 9th
an interview with Col. d. c. Roberts,
formerly Of Boston, later Of Marion,
KY, and lastly Of Carthage, Tenn, in
which quite deal was said about the
mineral known as Cobalt and the wiz
ard known as Edison.
Below we copy letter from Mr..
Thomas A. Edison to Col. Roberts
which shows that he has not forgotten
his first invention and in fact is still
preserving it.
The act Of preservation may be SEN
timent or il might be that Mr.. Edison
thinks that some future legislators will
become utopians or could il possibly be
that Col. Roberts tale got mixed and
he was the inventor and Edison the
Banker and still holds the vote Rec

the little matter Of 800 plunks.

WELLSBORO, o., Jan. 2l.-A record
possibly unequalled in the United
States is that of Mrs. James Null OF
this city. who became wife at thir-
teen, mother at fourteen and a grand
mother at twenty-nine.
Mrs. Nulrs oldest daughter. who is
the mother of the baby was born De-
cember 25 1890. She was married De-
cember 16, 1904. at the age of thirteen
to Frank Vittoe, about twenty years
old. November 2S last a daughter,
Lizzie Arizona. was born. She is a
tiny mite of humanity, weighing only
three pounds.
Mrs. Null Is 81 comely, liSht-haired,
blue-eyed woman, who looks no older
than her twenty-nine years. Her hus-
band was killed last September by a
fall Of slate in "a mine. She has six
children besides Mrs, Vittoe the
youngest being but six months old. In
spite of the fact that she is supporting
the entire family, she Is very cheerful
and evinces great pride as she displays

most Frustrated mother refers is Mrs.
Annie =. Church, who was found wan
dering about on Santee street less than
two weeks ago by a patrolman. The
woman was unable to give any CO.
herent account of herself for several
days. When she did so the police were
unable to find her relatives IT, was
through the columns of The Herald
that the relatives learned OF the
presence Of the woman in the receiving
hospital.
Her son, George A. Church, father Of
the dead boy, Immediately went to the
police station and learned that the
woman had accused her relatives of
mistreatment. The police placed no
credence i'm the statements Of the
woman, as II was thought she was
mentally unbalanced, which later
proved to be the case.
When the aged woman was taken
back to the home Of the Churches she
begged that she be taken to her other
children IN Birmingham, Ala. The
wishes of the woman were complied
with and last Monday Mr.. Church left

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 21.-At many OF
the churches today protests and petit
tions were in circulation calling for an
other saloon election. The council has
recently repealed one ordinance by
terms of which shaking dice and all
games of skill or chance for drinks OF
cigars was prohibited in saloons and by
which also the Sunday closing law was
made to apply to restaurants serving
wine with meals.
In place of the repeating law the
council passed a duplicate with these
two exceptions. Anti-saloon people are
demanding that the two laws be sub
mitted to a vote of the people and for
this purpose the protests and petitions
were signed. Only seven per cent of
the qualified voters are needed and
more than that number have signed.
This referendum clause of the charter
has been once held unconstitutional.

Husband Hurries West

Mrs. Church telegraphed her husband
yesterday afternoon informing him of
the accident that had occurred to their
son James. This was before the lad
expired The dispatch was sent to
Amarillo, Tex, through which tNwn
the train on which Mr.. Church is 81
passenger passed last night at 1880
o'clock Mr.. Church will arrive i'm Los
Angeles Wednesday. The train on
which he is travelling is the Golden
State Limited. 1t is the fastest Rock
Island train running between here and
Washington, ID. c.
When the police were notified of the
fate that had overtaken James Church
yesterday morning the ambulance
horses were driven at a speed which
the driver and the accompanying
patrolman say was never equaled. 1t
was on an errand of mercy and the
horses in their almost mad rush seemed
determined to win the race with death.
The wagon had prior to the call driven
at full speed from the postofflce, where
two pickpockets were arrested.
When the child was placed in the
ambulance wagon the charred renm-
nants of the clothing adhered to the
quivering body.
From the first it was seen by the
police surgeons and the physicians at
the Clara Barton hospital that the child
could not live. The boy, besides being
burne1, had inhaled fumes from thb
flames, and this affected his lungs.
The body was removed to the under
taking parlors of Pierce Bros.
An inquest will be held this morning.
