Washington girl who. OF all her
slsterhood, is now first in the public
eve. During her stay in New York
she was followed by prying army
OF reporters and camera tiends, her
every trivial action photographed and

the mean and sordid purposes OF
saffron journalism.
No wonder she came home sick
AT heart, The wonder is the nation
does not become nauseated by the

after meeting, one man went forward
and gave the evangelist his hand and
they both knelt in prayer.
At night in the Parkdale NJ. E.
church this old knight Of the grip was
greeted with an audience that filled the
church. Mr.. Williams took for his
subject "The Young Man and His Com

years pleaded with the young man to

HE NAY BE CRAZY BUT
Elias Pelton Tells a Remarkable Story
for an Insane Man.

Elias Pelton, man of perhaps
thirty. was picked up near the corner
of Thirteenth and Quincy streets sun
day by officer Duncan to whom ne
confded the fact that he had given the
officers of the insane asylum at Osa-
watomie the slip.
He told about the same story to the
police judge this morning with rev
embellishments which indicates that
though "he may be crazy he amt no
He said: Il lived for twenty six
years in Barton county, where 1 own
an eighty acre farm and some OF the
folks came to the conclusion that l
was crazy and sent me to the asylum.
1 guess that they were right, too; as
far as that is concerned, but lately 1
have been lonesome and wanted to go
home.
going and he said: You are trusty
about here and have your liberty and
why don't you light out some time
when there is no one around and 1
don't think that we viii be able to
find you
they don't like to give crazy a re-
lease, for if they should get into devil
ment after they are discharged the
asylum is blamed for 1t and If they
make their escape as 1 did OF course
they can't help it.
Il have been working about the
country since I made my thrilling es-
cape from the state institution, most
Of the time near Leavenworth. and
have saved 1898. I want to get back
to western Kansas for a short visit
and if they want me at Osawatomie I
will go back without any trouble Tor
that is not a bad place for A half baked
man TO stay and then it IS cinch that
they will not get into serious trouble. =

ties can be communicated with and

SAVE MONEY IN BRIDGEs.
street Commissioner Ramsey Says City
should Build Them.

That the city should construct a large
majority of it's own bridges considerably
cheaper than under the present contract
system Is the belief Of James Ramsey
street commissioner, who has just been
rebuilding the bridge over Martins creek
at Sixth and Morris avenues
The city charter act however provides
that the city must ask bids for all i'm
provements in which the cost is 800 or
over and this keeps the city from en-
gaging in any wholesale bridge building
on its own account
Il feel sure that I could save the city
lot Of money in building its bridges If
I had the right to build them with city
labor said Ramsey. If that bridge on
Martins creek had been built by a
bridge company it would have cost the
city about twice what il really did"
The city is finally coming around to
the proper economics Of building bridges
building them substantially and for
all time. Both in railroad and munich
pal construction bridges are now being
built with an idea of permanency. The
most solid construction which can en-
ter into improvements Of that sort Is
adopted. Some times the traffic does
not seem to warrant such heavy con
struction, but time endorses this sort Of
thing.

JOIN SPELLING BOARD.
Two Distinguished British Scholars
Accept Membership.

New York, Aug. 27.-The simpHfied
spelling board today announced that
two distinguished British scholars had
accepted membership to testify their
sympathy with the new movement to
improve English photography. One is
DR.. J. A. H. Murray, the senior editor
of the great Oxford dictionary of the
English language of which the aSso-
ciate editor is Henry Bradley, who
Joined the simplified spelling board
some weeks ago The other is Prof.
Joseph Wright. editor of the English
or to its etymology.
Speaking of tn csc recent accessions.
Brandner Matthews said:
1.-THE simplifed spelling board now
contains the editors of the three chief
English dictionaries published in Great
Britain. It had as original members
the editors of the three chief American
dictionaries, Webster, the Century and
the Standard. The adhesion OF the
foremost linguistic authorities of both
branches of the English speaking race
ought to be reassuring TO those who
have dreaded that the recomm erda-
tons of the simplified spelling board
might work harm to our noble tongue
or to its etimology."
A dispatch to a morning paper from
Northeast Harbor. Maine, says:
Harvard will not stand for the Car
negie- Roosevelt innovation. according
to President Eliot, who is stopping
here. Mr. Eliot says the new style Of
spelling does not in the least appeal to
him.
IT suppose that President Roosevelt
has a right to write his messages in any
style of photography to which he may
incline" he remarked. but 1 think It
will be d long time before such style
as that proposed becomes very popular
or takes q great hold upon the public
81 do not myself care for 1t. and it IS
my opinion that the same view is held
by the majority of leading educators.
There are some distinguished men,
such as President Butler of Colum bia.
who have long favored it. but do not
see that their work has brought much
of accom- lish ment-
