Voices In Cold STORAGE.

The Congressional library ut Wash
ington will install a department where
photographic records of speeches of
statesmen and distinguished persons
from all parts of the world may be pre-
served for the benefit of future genera
tons. says the Rochester (N. " Dem
Ocrat and Chronicle. The government
recently received Il record containing
an address made ny the emperor of
Germany. and this led to the SuggeS-
ton that the utteranceS of other states
men might be preserved in the same
way. 1t is said that the French and
Australian governments have for some
time been filing away records of the
famous voices of the stage for the ben
eft of pOSterity. and the Smithsonian
institution has some records of Indian
speech. If such records prove perma-
nent they will undoubtedly be highly
priced two or three hundred years from
now and will have n linguistic value
besides, as showing the changes il
spoken language that are constantly
taking place.

Most Expensive Auto Track.

The new private automobile race
track which has been in course of CON
struction at Weybridge in Surrey will
soon be thrown open. says Il London
dispatch to the New York World. 1t is
n hundred feet wide. but because it has
been built on limited private estate
many sharp turns had to be construct
ed and an embankment built in proper
ton. In some places the embankment
IS more than thirty feet high. The
track is said to be the most expensive
in the world owing to the fact that an
iron bridge had to be built over the
river Wey to make n continuous route.

The costume of the Igorrotes is not

WHY LOVERS LOVE.
Census Shows That Eyes, Hair, Size,
Even Feet, Are Chief Attractions.


Precisely what it is-what attribute
or physical characteristic-in the youth
or maiden, the man or woman. that
most attracts one of the opposite sex,
is a problem of which Or. &. Stanley
Hall, professor Of psychology in and
president of Clark university, WOrces-
ter. Mass, has set out to find the solu-
zion, says n Boston special TO the New
York World. To this end he has taken
census of young lovers. with view
TO learning what i'll each case has most
cndeared to him or her the particular
object of their affection.
1t was DR.. Hall who recently de-
clared 30 per cent of college women
failed to marry, thus contributing 10
race suicide. The complete result Of
this census of lovers Or Hall has not
vet given to the public, but he has
made known an abstract of what he
has learned. With hundreds of lovers
heard from DR.. Hall states that the
characteristics specified by them are in
the order of their frequency as follows;
Eyes. hair, size or stature, feet
OrowS, complexion. checks, form Of
head, throat. ears. chin, hands, neck
nose. finger nails ana contour of face.
Which is to say that more of those
| lovers Intercepted have found the
! loved ones eyes or hair the chief at
traction than anything else.
The women replying to DR.. Halls
| questions have also specified these
charms i'll the men they loved best:
| Regular teeth. broad shoulders anC
white teeth. and most popular among
| the men have been long laSheS anC
| arche-l brOwS.
According to some of those replying
retrousSe nose. frrckleS and Ions
neck have been the chief charms.
The voice cuts an important figure
among the charms. With some it il
| q high voice, with others. Il low voice
Even Il lisp has been stated as ;
charm. Laughter. carriage, gait, geS
ture, movements Of the eye. pose o

NEW ORLEANS TIED UP.
Cotton Dealers and Papers Especially
Suffered.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 16-Nothine
in recent times has so paralyzed trade
and business in New Orleans as has
the telegraphers' strike.
Cotton trading had been carried on
up to Tuesday noon, when the com
mission-house operators submitted ul
timatums without previous notice and
walked out. This almost put an end
to all cotton future trading in this
center.
Otherwise business has been greatly
affected. Each of the telegraph com
panies have a few operators who are
willing to work, the Western Union
at this time having twenty-five or
thirty, but their lines are being tam
pered with and interrupted, so that
messages are uncertain.
The newspapers have been relying
almost entirely on long-distance tele-
phone service.

Indianapolis. Aug. 1.-THE tele-

Mounce, local manager for the West

Frank w. Samuels, local manager for
the Postal Telegraph Company, to the
keys. Clerks in the office, who were
formerly operators have been pressed
into service also at the Western Union
office, and Night Manager G. w.
Weekly of that company likewise has
taken a key.
Both of the companies have closed
branch offices in different parts of the
city. The Western Union has closed
all of it's hotel branches and trans
ferred the operators, several of whom
are women, to the central office. The
branch office in the Denison Hotel is
the only Western Union hotel office
open. The Postal Company has closed
all of it's branch offices except that
at the Claypool and transferrE> ,he

''Will Richmond have fair in the
year 19OS?'' This is the question that
has been given much consideration in
the past few weeks and months and
several local business men are still dis
cussing it. With comparatively little
expense the track at the driving park
could be placed in its old time excellent
condition. although several hundreds
of dollars would have to be spent by
the promoters of the Richmond fair, in
the erection of a new grand stand and
other necessary buildings. usually used
Wayne county man says there is. no
reason why fair association in Rich
mond would not be paying proposi-
tion as several thousand dollars goes
out of Richmond each year because
there is no fair to hold people and
their money in this city.
1t is argued that the rankest of car
nivals always draws immense crowds
whenever showing in Richmond for a
weeks stand. and that there is no rea-
son why good fair would not draw
greater patronage with it's horse rae
es and varied entertainments. AL
though the fair proposition has been
who have money to invest in such en-
terprises, no definite move has been
made toward organization. A leader is
needed to make fair association a
reality.
