Colonel Robert c. Clowry, president
of the Western Union Telegraph COM

prominence Just at the present time be-
cause his refusal TO hear the griev
ances Of the telegraphers union has
threatened to result in a strike. is
man possessed of rcmarka BILE resource
fulness. says the New York Tribune.
Even those who maintain that Colonel
Ciowry is all wrong in his opposition
to the demands of the Western Union
operators readily admit that this is IN
no way due 10 his lack Of original
ideas
As an illustration Of this character
Istic of the Western Union s president,
II may be said that he sent a wireless
telegraphic message forty years before
the names Of Marcon or De Forest
were heard of.
II happened back in Civil War times,
when Colonel Clowry was an assistant
Quartermaster in charge of the United
States military telegraph service in the
Department of Mississippi, Kansas and
Arkansas. In the course Of one cam
paign Captain Clowry, as he was then,
discovered that he was unable TO com
municate with a detachment of Union
troops on the other side of the Mis-
souri, river. The night was pitch dark,
and the ruiu was descending In tor
rents. The stream was so swollen that
an attempt 10 Cross If would have
meant certain death.
Clowry learned that the enemy was
marching on the Union army, and eX-
pected by means of flank movement
TO surround IT, The Confederates had
planned to compel the surrender OF
their foe, as the latter could not retreat
without being drivon into the river a
successful defense against the attack
seemed impossible, as the Confederates
largely outnumbered the UnionisCs.
Various expedients rapidly crossed
the mind Of the yonng telegraph chief,
He thought Of firing a gun so that the
reports would correspond with the
ticks of telegraphic key. The scheme
proved futile because with the type
of gun then III use 1t was impossible
to discharge one shot after another
with sufficient rapidjty.
Pacing back and forth in the pour
ing rain as he wrestled with what
seemed an unsolvable problem, the
"captaip of the wire chanced to see
locomotive standing on q siding. The
sight prompted a new idea. He leaped
into the locomotive IS cab. and find
ing that the hrebox contained nothing
but wet ashes, hastily cleaned it out,
filed the boiler TO the right level, kin
died fire and soon got up steam. Then
the englneer-operator began to toot the
engine IS whistle, and out into the black
ness Of the night he sent a series of
| blasts timed in the same sequence as
the well known "call'' of the key.
Presently from beyond the river there
came an answer. The telegraph chief
of the distant army had heard the
whistling and was replying OH a bu-
| gle.
Communication had been established,
and the whistle under the command Of
Clowry's practised hand shrieked out
it's warming and saved twenty thousand

Missing for many years. after hay-
ing lost a big wager on Grover CleVe'
land when he was defeated by Beuia
min Harrison for the Presidency in
1855, Allen Ostro, once q rich merchant
of San Francisco, has been found IN
Philadelphia by his sons, says the New
York Press. One of the sons, Jullan,
A. syme in Mount Vernon. The other
son. Loo, is frequently with his broth
er there The two roung men yester'
day told the remarkable story of how
their father. having lost his fortune
in the West. disappeared and won an
other one.
Allen Ostro years ago was one OF
tho most prosperous men in San Fran
cisco and lived on 2 handsome estate,
where he lavishly entertained his many
friends. His first misfortune came
when he wagered many thousands of
dollars on the success Of the Demo
cratic candidate when Grover Cleveland
ran for the Presidency for the second
time. This was followed by other re-
verses, and finally he disappeared with
out a word to relatives or friends. He
never wrote, and it was feared he was
dead.
Leo Ostro was IN Philadelphia sew
eral days ago when be noticed an elder
" man standing in front of the Belle
yue- Sfrafford hotel. The man S ap
pearance seemed strangely familiar 10
him. a closer inspection satisfied Lee
thar the man was his father. He lIo
not speak to him at that time, but in
stead followed him to his boarding
house. He watched the place and saw
the man coming and going frequently
but was not recognized by his father
Finally the young man made himself
known and was heartily greeted by hi:
surprised parent. Julian was Informed
and he went TO Philadelphia last Satur

county superintendents are unmarried.
They have decided to make teaching
and supervision their life work. They
say they want TO be independent of the
men. IT is largely due to the influence
of these women that many school
boards in the towns and cities of the
State have refused to employ married
women as teachers. They contend that
the husband should support the wife.
Superintendent of schools in the
various cities Of the State and high
school principals, invariably men in
years past, are now women in many
cases Miss Louise NJ. Schaub is the
new principal of the high school at
Parsons, ono of the cities of the FIST
class. In cities of the second class
several women have succeeded men as
city superintendents, Miss Nellie Nc
Ginley of Chentopa, Miss Clifford A
of Oswego, are successfully filing
these positions, Twenty-Five women
hold the position Of principal Of high
schools.
The women engaged in school work
in Kansas have joined heartily in tho
movement for manual training In the
country schools. John Fuller, a mem
ber Of the Seneca school board,
started the movement for equipping
country schools with work benches, so
that the boys may be taught to make
the common articles used on a farm.
The women have insisted that the same
opportunities he given the girls, and
that sowing machines be installed, so
that they may be taught TO make and
| mend the garments they wear This
suggestion has met with approval, and
many schools have been equipped with
sewing machines, patterns, cook books
and other articles used IN the house.

THIS is WHAT LED

Posed as a Cousin of the Gar:
His Credit Good, Bubble
Cases Followed.

Prince Sergius Urusoff, or a man thus
styling himself, has Just been sentenced
by default in Paris to two years i'm
prisonment for defrauding tradesmeu
on sumptuous scale. Sergius
Urusotf gave himself out as a cousin
Of the Gar and owning about 100000,
600 year. His wife, the Princess,
was described as daughter Of the Sui
tan of Turkey who had escaped from
some harem in her own country.
Desenchantce, no doubt, remarked
the Judge, showing that he had read
Pierre Lofts latest novel, The "prin-
cess made no secret of the fact
or the fiction that she had $4,000

plaintiffs, wine merchants, said that the

Once a process server. who refused

Yet the prince had bought enough
furniture to fill the place twice over.

the transaction was lucrative one for
him. Cabinetmakers, tapestry dealers,
furriers, the Bon Marche aud wine
merchants, were all ''dono' in the
same way, according to the plaintiffs.
The latter, on the strength of the po-
sition of the "prInce, supplied him
with $500 worth of Chateau Latte,
Mouton, Rothschild and other wines Of
famous Medoc growths. Another. firm
at Rheims kept the "prince' in

The present prince is evidently
fonder Of drinking wine than Of pay

defense at the trial, the warrant
against him could not be served on
him. and he was not represented by
counsel The court came 10 the con

was sufficient, and in addition to the
sentence issued an order, which there
seems little chance Of his obeying, that

School Marms Crowd Out Men

Without making any particular noise
about it the women and girls of Kansas
have been gradually pushing aside the
"school master until that article is
almost scarcity in this State at the
present time, says the Topeka, Kan,
Capitol. Compared with the total
number Of teachers employed In the
State very few men are employed in
that capacity. Women and girls are
willing to accept lower salaries than
men, aud as a result they are rapidly
taking their places IN educational
circles. Men are going into other pro.
fessions and into business. Some of
them are going down and out.
OF the 1900 teachers in tho public
schools of this State at least 10000
are women AS Kansas stands next td
the top among the States in percentage
Of illiteracy the women point to thii
educational hines is worthy of still
greater recognition. They demand more
than the mere right to teach-they
want voice In their government-and
gradually are getting It.
Of the los county superlntendents In
Kansas, thirty-six are women. The law
reuuires each county superintendent to
visit each school within the county once
year. State Superintendent Fairchild
reports that the thirty-six women are
more punctual in this duty than are the
men. It matters not how Indictment the
weather may be, those women make
long journeys over the prairieB to the
little white school houses in the re
motest corners Of the counties, They
travel With horse and buggy, and are

Surgeon,

One of the most remarkable cases in

happens that email portion of the
cuticle is removed where burns have
been sustained, but so far as is known
this is the first instance where the en-
tire face was peeled Of its covering in
order to effect cure.
The boy did not take an anesthetic
while the physicians were skinning
him, but endured the torture without
tlinching or permitting single moan
to escape his lips. 1t required almost

Another feature of this case is that
there will be no new skin grated on
the face, as is usual in such operations.
Nature will be relied upon entirely to
renew the blistered and removed cuti-
Gle, and the doctors say that IT will be
supplied In q remarkably short time,
One Of the boys eyes is almost out

medical men say that they viii save 1t.
The lad is confined in dark room and
his doctors see him two or three times
