Idella Dotter lives In Los Angeles, Cal. To her home not long ago came an express package from Washington. She opened the package and found a photograph woodworking else, noth' ing even to show who had sent 1t.
 .'I wonder who 1t Is from?" she said inspecting It from all points of view, as women frequently inspect envelopes addressed In strange handwriting oblylous for the moment to the ob' vlous expedlent Of lnquIring of the con tents.
 It suddenly occurred to her that pho nograph records were to be interpreted through the medium of the phonograph mechanism. SO she promptly put this one to the test.
 "Gr-r-r, sc-r-ratch, sque-e-k, rattle" " and then in clear, familiar tones:
 Dear Idella-PermIt me to present 10 you Mir. Seth Cabell Halsey. neph'

HAD A COURTSHIP BY PHONOGRAPH

Marked "Confdental," there followed a lot of questions about the owner of the manly tones, etc. And when the record was ready Miss Dotter sent 1t by express to, Miss Maud Hunter, Washington.
 That was the beginning. Mir. Halsey confided to Miss Hunter that Miss Dot ter had the sweetest voice that had ever fallen on hls ears Sentiments of the same sort he also conhded to a photograph record, which he express ed to Miss Dotter's address in Los An geles.
 Miss Dotter in a record addressed to MT. Halsey made admissions of a simi- lar character. This launched rapid fire photograph correspondence, sup plemented by another through the malls which facilitated an exchange of photographs.
 But 1t was one of Mir. Halsey's pho nograph records which contained his proposal of marriage. After due re- fiectIon. stimulated favorably by fire quent hearing of Mir. Halsey's phono' graph lovemaklng, Miss Dotter for warded by phonograph the sweet yoic- ed ''yes" that was little more than a whisper. Four days later she received telegram from Mir. Halsey.
 Leave tomorrow for Los Angeles"
 There is as yet no formal announce ment of the engagement of Miss Idella Dotter and Seth Cabell Halsey. In view of the startling novelty of a courtshlp by photograph the young woman has preferred to defer that de tail until they have had opportunity for a little good old fashioned courting.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL PENDING
Rock leland Said TO he Pur-
chaser of south Omaha
Property,

It Is reported with considerable assurance
by South Omaha real estate dealers that
large land deal is In process OF consumma-
ton in the city. p. c. Crandan, one OF
the real estate men and a man in a good
position for securing information, an
nounced yesterday that he knew positively
that the Rock Island. under the corpora
tion name of the Chicago, Omaha g. Denver
railroad, had secured options on large hold
ings Of land on this side OF the Missouri
river opposite o street. Part of the land
is from the Kountze estate and comprises
over twenty-five acres. Henry l.. Hamil-
ton, having charge Of the matter of secur-
ing the right-of-way in South Omaha, has
options standing good until August not
only on the tract mentioned, but several
others along the river. and as far as the
Burlington right-of-way. One Of these
tracts has been secured from A. ]. McGee
The corporation is said to be formed under
the laws Of New Jersey and It is the object
to erect the long-promised bridge at South
Omaha. A shade of doubt is expressed in
certain circles since the Rock Island al
ready has a long time lease with the Union
Pacific, on which it pays $4,000 annually
for the use of the Omaha bridge.
1t Is further declared, with quite much
positiveness, that the same company has
an option on thirty-seven acres at Thirty
sixth and q streets. South Omaha, known
as the Cassidy tract. This tract Is prac-
tically level and would be easily developed
into a site for trackage. Several courses
have been surveyed during the last three
months One is reported to go directly
through the city at 0 street and the other
connects with the Rock Island depot at
Albright. The latter presents fewer topo-
graphical difficulties.

CAPE COLONY RAILROADS
Effort VIII BE Made 10 Take Manage
ments Out of Party
Politics.

CAPE TOWN, March SO.-CSpecial.)- .)-Cape
Colony is suffering from municlpalization,
or to be more accurate from naturalization.
All the railways belong to the government
and the appointment OF a commission to
consider the advisability 'of effecting some
change in the future management Of rail-
ways and of providing some means of OBJ
tanning in the future the impartial con-
sideration of and report upon any pro-
posed scheme of railway construction"
indicates that the colony has found some
flaws in the system.
Party expedlency has often taken
guiding hand in railway administration.
Local interests rather than financial con-
sideratIons have often governed the laying
of new tracks and IL is often asserted that
there are a number of nonpaylng tracks
which owe their origin entirely TO political
deals" The Graa n Reinet line has never
even paid it's wording expenses and has
cost the taxpayers several hundred thou
sands of dollars annually since it's con-
structicu. AT the present time 1t is ex-
tremely difficult to ensure the impartial
consideration OF any railway scheme or
railway expenditure. All that was felt
as long ago as 1893 when a select com
mittee was formed to make inquiries on
lines similar 70 those TO which the new
commission is TO turn it's attention Mr..
Merriman sought at that time TO secure
the appointment of a permanent advisory
board, but from one cause or another the
proposal fell through. 1t is understood that
the first duty Of the commission, which
the government has now appointed will be
to endeavor to formulate scheme which
viii disassociate the railways from party
politics

WASHINGTON, March S0.-The Browns
Vile investigation today with Lieutenant
Harry s. Grer OF the Twenty-ffth in
fantry on the stand before the senate COM
mittee on military affairs dealt largely with
the opinions held by the white officers as

ment Of the army in trying to ascertain
the guilt or innocense of the, however,

without honor unless they produced the
guilty men, the attitude Of the men caused
him to doubt whether they were guilty.
Lieutenant Grier concluded that the men
were innocent because the effect of this
ultimatum upon the negroes. He was of
the opinion that all the old and tried SOL
diers had done everything they could TO

The witness indorsed the first plans
adopted by Major Penrose for the discovery
Of the guilty parties, which was that re-
strictions upon the soldiers be removed and
that they be permitted to forget that they
were being prosecuted in the hope that
the negroes then might begin talking
among themselves. Lieutenant Grier was

MINERS TO SUE AUSTRIA
English Company VIII Not Close
Works without Contest I'm

VIENNA. March SO.-(speciaD.-Th Aus
trian government appears to be in no end
of trouble as a result Of the controversy
over the coal pits and the celebrated
springs.
AS recently reported, the government re-
solved to close several coal pits Ia the
FallSenau district near Carlsbad for the
purpose OF protecting the celebrated springs
to which the working of the mines might
prove detrimental. Part Of these mines
belong to an English company, which has
decided TO bring an action against the gov
ernment in the courts of Eyer and Brux
The company regards the action taken by
the government as injurious TO its own en-
terprise, and intends 70 do everything pos
sible to obtain the limitation or caneeiia-
ton OF the measures adopted by the au-
thorities. The directors have instructed
their lawyer to bring forward a claim for
100000. at which figure they value the
coal still unworked in the pits.

argue the appeal in this action that former
Senator Brown Of Utah went to Washing

RELIGIOUS MANIA IN BERLIN
Army Pnymaster Mishandlcd by
Family, who Think Him
Possessed of Devil.

BERLIN, March 30 (special)-An extraor-
dinary occurrence which took place IN
Berlin recently has again aroused the gem
eral public against Gesundbetor, the Ger
man equivalent Of the peculiar people,
A fearful din in the fiat Of Chief Pay
master Sagawe of the Third regiment Of
the foot guards, which is situated in the
Reichenberger strasse, attracted large
cOncourse of neighbors who after some
trouble discovered that his family were
employed in exercising a devil which they
believed had taken possession Of him. The
persons 50 engaged were his wife and two
sons and two daughters, the youngest OF
whom was sixteen years Of age. They
were apparently seeking to destroy the
demon by hurling furniture at It after hav-
ing successfully chased It out Of the body
Of the unfortunate paymaster by beating
him till he was within an inch Of his life.
with some difficulty Paymaster Sagawe
was rescued from his awkward predica-
ment, but the frenzied family succeeded
in locking the door OF the fiat, and then
threatened to throw themselves down into
the street The fire brigade was summoned
in haste and spread out life saving sheet
over the pavement to catch them If they
should fall. Just at this point, however.
the door was broken in and the demented
family were secured and removed to an
asylum.
1t appears that Paymaster Sagawe had
been seriously III and his wife had taken
it much TO heart. After vainly trying to
discover an efficacious cure for him she
got into connection with the faith healers
and fell completely under their influence
She also induced her children TO Join the
sect and in the case of all FIVE religious
mania of a very acute type would seem
to have developed itself simultaneously.
Paymaster Sagawe is seriously injured and
his home is literally broken to pieces as a
res,ilt of the fnnnil,,,s de,,il hunt
