Deslre nIilitarr Guard.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Representa- tives of the telegraph companies called upon General Bell, chief of the stan at the War Department last evening in relation to the attack upon the non- union telegraph operators at the relay point at Ashfork, Ariz.. yesterday. They desired the National Government to provide a military guard at the point to protect the operators against another attack.
 General Bell pointed out that under the constitutional limitations he could not respond to any such direct appeal from the companies Their recourse was, he informed them, to apply to the Governor of the Territory and if de- cided that troops were necessary 1t would be his duty to call upon Presi- dent Roosevelt, who, General Bell said, without doubt would honor the request.

Or. Lydston Talks.
The POSTMASTER was next introduce
ed as the principal speaker of the
evening, DR.. G.. Frank Lydston of Chi
cago.
DR.. Lydston, though famous among
the ranks of the medical men, would
have been equally as famous had fate
thrown him among the ranks of pub
lie entertainers. His stories, with
which his remarks were replete, were
witty, and his telling Of them, superb.
His French Canadian dialect and his
negro dialect were seldom surpassed
by any professional elocutionist. DR..
Lydston first defended the medical
profession from the attacks made upon
it by the previous speaker.
In illustrating his opinion OF the le-
gal fraternity he told a story of an old
negro, who, when upon the stand in a
case. was asked to testify to the value
of a certain dog. The old man stated
to the judge and jury that they could
judge the utter worthlessness Of the
beast by the name he answered to.
"And what do you call him, Sam?"
Huh, we calls him Lawyer sab,
jes plain Lawyer"
The original poem, which is in part
published with this article, entitled
"The Man Behind the Knife" was
read by DR.. Lydston, and proved one
of the enjoyable hits of the evening
Sixty-one plates were laid for the
banquet. The out of town guests
