AN EXPENSIVE OMISSION.
Dash Left Out of n Message Costs Tel
egraph Company $4,000.
This is what he
should have sent.
This is what the
operator sent.
And 1t cost $1,000

A dash in telegraph instrument re-
curing fraction of second in send
ing, but which an operator failed to
put in, will cost the Postal Telegraph
company $1,000 if verdict handed
down by jury in the supreme court
of Brooklyn the other day goes into ef-
feet, says the New York American.
The plaintiff was e. s. Halstead &
Co, the Manhattan bag manufacturers.
In transmitting an estimate of prices
on cloth from the Cannon Manufacture
ing company Of Chicago the operator
made dash and four dots instead Of
three dots, dash and dot, which made
what was intended to be $50 and $50,
or five points difference. At least that
is what Halstead & Co. claim, and the
jury agreed with them.
BY reason Of the error Halstead &
Co. lost $4,000 in making contract
for lot of bags with Armour & Co,
and they Immediately brought suit to
compel the telegraph company to make
good the loss Justice Maddox took
the verdict under advisement on mo-
ton made by the defendant company
to have it set aside.

WHEELER'S ROMANCE.
General RisI<ed Life Visiting Future

General Risked Life Visiting Future
Wife While Fighting Federa1s.
The death of General Joe Wheeler,
the ex-Confederate veteran, has recall
ed to the minds Of number Of New
Orleans people the romantic story of his
courtship. says the New York Tribune.
1t was in the early years Of the war.
General Wheeler had been marrying the
Federal troops near Chattanooga and
had managed to cut off their supplies.
During a part of this campaign he
made his home on the Jones estate, In
northern Alabama There he met Mrs.
Ella Sherred, the daughter Of Colonel
Jones, a we'll known steamboat man
of antebellum days. Colonel Jones was
away at the war. Mrs. Sherrod's hus-
band had died, and she was left alone
on the plantation with her crippled son
and an invalid mother. General Wheel
er fell deeply in love and often slipped
away from his command to spend a
few hours with Mrs Sherrod, although
the trips were made at the risk Of his
life.
Finally the Federal troops burned
every building on the plantation, and
Mrs. Sherrod carried her mother from
the burning house at midnight. Cen
eral Wheeler drove the Federal troops
completely out of the neighborhood.
At the close of the war Mrs. Sherrod
consented to become Mrs. Wheeler.

Greatest IRRIGATION scheme.

Greatest Irrigation Scheme.
The Canadian Pacific railway has In
hand the g.eatest irrigation scheme in
the world, says the Atlanta correspond
ent of the New York Tribune. BY the
end of the next three years 100000
acres Of land in the vicinity of Cal
gary, Alberta, hitherto arid, will be
divided into 10000 farms, watered
from Bow river. This irrigation plan
when completed will be go per cent
larger than the next largest on the
American continent, which is in the
Pecos valley, Ariz. Already 10000
acres of irrigated lands are ready for
the market The water utilized in this
vast scheme will take two-thirds Of
the supply Of the Bow river at low wa
ter. The superintendent Of the work
states that when 1t was first started
there were practically no settlers in
that particular section, but since then
the flow of immigration, which has in
Guided many Americans, has been ex-
ceedingly rapid, and a good class of
people are taking up their homes along
the artificial canals 1t is estimated
that 100000 persons will be sustained
on this land, which until few years
ago was regarded as being little better
than useless.
