LEGISL TORS ARE GETTING READY
TO- START FOR HOME TOMORROW.
Prize WINNER
IS A GENIUS.
MR.. JOHN c. pARNELL WHO WON
GLOBE PHoNoGRAPH is A
RENOWNED NEEDLE
WORKER. \

Mr.. John G. Darnell won the phono.
graph at the Globe Book store by
beating all competitors and writing
on an ordinary postal card the word
phonograph S.76s times. with his
name and address, beating his nearest
competitor over 500. Mr.. Darneil says
he could write the,word 6,ooo times on
the same space with a hard. smooth
surfaced card and could get the word
on a postal card 5000 The work was
done with an extremely hard, graphite
pencil and was worn Gown TO very.
short length before the work was I'm.
ished. The pencil was sharpened on
a piece OF emery cloth and 81 hours
was the time It took to complete the.
work.
Mr. Darnel1 IS a. genius in more
ways than this. He holds the gold
medal of the Worlds Fair at st. Louis
for being the finest needle worker
in the world. Needle work seems to
be natural gift with him, as he has
hadno special training along that line.
The piece of work ON which he was
awarded the medal has been on ex.
hibitlon at various times and Is now
earning $500 per month rental in a
Pittsburg art store! Mr.. parnali has
been offered $500 for this piece Of work.
He has numbers of pieces that have
been sought at 500 each. He has nu.
merous samples Of his work, such as
ihandkerchiefs, etc. that will easily
bring $500. One sparticuiar handkers
chief has over 500 knots in its decora-
tion, but the surface is so smooth that
the knots cannot be detected.
Two 0: his most attractive samples
are reproductions of dish Of straw
berries, the glass dish being worked
In delicate shade OF green, while
the color of the fruit Is true to nature,
and bouquet of froses in a glass vase.
Mr.. Darnell has the happy faculty Of
working the same figure IN exact du-
,plicates on both sides OF the cloth, a
distinction and an art that is said
to be possessed by no other person. q a
To look at this delicate needle work
and then look at large, stout man
as'the executor of the work is, forms
an incongruity that is hard to explain.
The strawberries and roses are on
exhibition at A. B. Scott's jewelry
store on Main street.
