Deaf, but Could Telegraph

A curious and no less interesting ease of recovery from a condition of abso, late deafness of telegraph operator is noted at Portland, Maine. Five or six years ago the hearing of Peter A. Foley began to fail, when suddenly about a year ago, it left him utterly His sense of feeling, however, had not deserted him, and, adapting himself to changed conditions, practice gradually enabled him to read the message by the sense of feeling alone. Although not able to use the typewriter, his "eopper- plate" penmanship stood him in good stead. Unable to hear a word of con- versation or a click from telegraph sounder, Mir. Foley successfully worked one of the busiest lines of the Western Union office, the New York wire, read. ing the messages absolutely and entire lys by the sense of touch. His left fore finger was placed lightly on the sounder and by this medium he became able to write down messages as accurately and as rapidly as any operator in the office. The call for the Portland office is the letter P, five dots, and MT. Foley could tell by looking at his sounder when he was being called.
 So proficient had he become that he could read slow sending by simply watching the sounder, although he sell dom did this, for he found that his sense of touch restored to him the pro fession which it seemed almost inevit- able that he must abandon year ago. Althc1g the regular operator at the end of the New York wire knew of the Portland mans misfortune, and doubtless favored him sometimes when sending strange or unusual words, MT. Foley really required no more consider ation than any operator, for he read the fastest transmitting without the slight est difficulty, and his record of mis- takes in year was as small as that of any other operator in the Western Union ofiice.-Telegraph Age.

CONDUCTOR MISSING

 aid. The last that was seen of him
 was Friday afternoon about 4 o clock,
 when he was standing on san Antonio
 street talking with Brakeman Dow. who
 IS member of Lewis crew. It is un- derstood that he drew sum of money out of the bank Friday afternoon and 1t IS feared that he has met with foul play.
 He was missed Friday evening when the Southwestern call boy went to his nome on Wyoming street to call him Tor his run west that night. His wife knew nothing of his whereabouts and search by the call boy resulted in his failure to find the missing conductor, and an extra man was sent out on his run. Saturday morning when he had not shown up at the house his wife be- came uneasy and telephoned to the ter. mlnal trainmaster 's office, thinking that he had gone out on his run without re. turning to his house to change clothes.
 When it was learned that he was not on duty and that the trainmaster had heard nothing of him, a systematic search was commenced and every place thata Conductor Lewis was in the habit of frequenting was visited, but nothing could be learned of him except that he was seen on San Antonio street Friday afternoon. The matter was reported to the police, but they were also unable to locate him, and the search is being con tinued today, telegrams being sent out to the various stations along the line.
 Conductor Lewis has bene employed by the Southwestern for the past three years as freight conductor and during that time he was known as a man of regular habits and scarcely missed day from work. He and his wife were m the SandersOn wreck on the G. H. early in the spring while on their way to San Antonio. Both were injured in the smashup and Mrs. Lewis has been on the coast since to reeuperate from the shock of the wreck, returning only last week.

Pastor a Successful steepleiack

The Rev. Warren l. Bowman, pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, created something of a sensation in the village today by ascending the outside of the steeple of his church to a point far above the belfry and re. moving a large accumulation of honey comb and its contents and driving out the bees. The bees were in the habit of buzzing through the church during services and annoying the congregation.
 Mir. Bowman tried to hire someone to oust the swarm, but could find no one who combined knowledge of bees and experience as steeplejack. MT. Bowman, ignorant of both, provided himself with ladders and liberal quantity of mosquito netting, and es- capped without fall or sting.-Oyster Bay dispatch to the New York Tribune

Strong Savage Women

Among savage tribes the women are very little smaller than the men and have great powers of endurance. Stan ley found that the best porters in Africa were women, and an early explorer in the Northwest tells that before he start ed on certain expedition an old chief advised him to take some squaws along to draw the baggage. Even among civ ilized nations girl babies exhibit more vitality than boys, greater number of them coming safely throug the perils of the first five years, yet the civilized woman has only half as much physical strength as the civilized man.-Detroit News.

|M|XUP OVER THE
 CANANEA SPECIAL
Railroad Wants Globe Baseball Manage. ment to Guarantee $2,OOO-B Baseball
 News from All Over the Territory Tucson Loses Two to Cananea Team.

The Southern Pacific, or rather the Randolph lines are willing to run an excursion to Cananea from Globe for the celebration of the Mexican Inde- pondence day, but they want the Globe baseball management to guarantee $2,- 900 first. It appears to us that the eel ebration is the business of Cananea and the Randolph lines, not that of ball team management in Globe There would be easily 200 Globites on the K cursion, but before any sum is guar anteed it would be well to ask the rail road company to guarantee that the special train would get to Cananea and arrive in Globe on time, or at least not over 24 hours late. In other cities where excursions are planned and run, the railroad companies usually send an agent to boost the excursion and attend to all the details, but it seems that the Randolph people want Globe to take all the risk. Manager Prochaska has re ceived word from the company that the excursion could be run providing that two hundred fares at $l0 each would b. guaranteed but he does not feel like taking all the risk without the company sharing in it.

BULLETS THAT SHED LIGHT
New Weapon Of German Army ~
Eliminates the Battlefield In
Novel Manner.

An interesting novelty that has
been recently introduced into the
German army is a revolver which
fires illuminating bullets. The
weapon has the general appearance
of the regular service revolver, but
is larger in caliber and in general
dimensions. The bullets, after be-
ing fired, become highly illuminat-
ing. The discharge is practically
noiseless the bullet rises about 100
yards and has a range of about the
same distance. Wherever the bullet
alights the landscape is lit up as
brilliantly as by daylight for about
half a minute. This enables attack
inc troops to ~reconnoiter effectively,
and readily to detect the presence OF
an enemy. On falling to the ground
or on buildings the Illuminating bull
lets do not set fire to combustible OBJ
jects, and they are therefore not
dangerous to use in localities where
fire might be as dangerous to the
attacking troops as to the enemy.
