In The city, walked without the least
hesitation. Instead of taking trip
as planned the doctor remained In
the city and at late hour saw the
man enter his home. Taking a man
who was in the secret with him, the
doctor entered and found the pair in
his wife's bed room. Cool judgment
alone saved tragedy, but one family

which time FIVE children, their ages
ranging from fifteen years to twenty
two months, came to bless the lives

EXPERIMENT
Demonstrates How Words
Sound When Uttered
Backward.

Ocala, Fla, July 6.-Dr. ]. Walter
Hood of this city has just brought
into successful operation an expert
ment that should be of considerable
interest to the scientific world.
For some time the doctor has Won
dered how words would sound if ut
tered backwards. By experimenting
with his own voice and others, he re-
allied the utter impossibility of any
one prOnOuncing backward. Some
people to whom he mentioned the
matter confused it with spelling hack
ward, but it takes little reflection to
see that it is a very different thing.
DR.. Hood finally decided that if he
could have a Photographic record run
through a photograph backward no
would attain his desired result. This
seemed impossible, owing TO the rec
ords begging larger at one end than the
other, but Mr. A e. Burnett, jeweler
of this city, after some experiments,
bored out a record so it could be put
on the cylinder last end first, and 10
DIR. Hoods great satisfaction and
every one else's surprise, the appara-
tus worked succesfulsly.
A great many people have heard
this record work in the last few days.
The sounds 1t makes are utterly
strange, not to say ludicriOus. yet
can be recognized closely enough TO
be understood. The experiment is
causing great interest here. and seems
well worth the notice of the scientific

Mexico, July 6.-Yong Yu Wei,
leader of the Chinese reform move

After reciting what the Chinese

his countrymen have received from

says, in part: Two decades OF rigid
enforcement of the exclusion law has
brought about the i'll will of four

NOT THE RObBER
BUT THE VICTIM
Man Ran Away to Escape
Responsibility to Be
Redeemed.
Special to The Journal.

New York, July 6.-Inspectors of
the United States Guaranty Company
are searching for H. P. Wilson to
redeem him in spite Of himself for
Wilson ran away from his RESPONSE
bilities and let himself be classed as
bank robber when in fact he was
the one robbed.
Wilson, described as a plain plod-
ding man of As. was recently employed
by the First National Bank of No. l
Wall street as a messenger. He dis
appeared last Monday after making
collections aggregating a little more
than $4,000. On Tuesday the bank
received a bulky envelope containing
$34,71S in checks and drafts. There
was no accompanying explanation.
but the bank soon ascertained that it
was the bulk of Wilson's collections.
men friend received a pitiful let
ter from Wilson in which he recited
that after making his collections and
while on a street car pick-pockets had
relieved him of the banks checks and
money and that, mortified with shame
and possessed with the fear that the
bank officials would believe him a
thief, he had determined to disappear
until he could make UP his mind just
what he ought to do.
Investigation by the bank revealed
the probable truth of Wilson's story
and also developed the fact that the
pick-pocKets secured s1,776 in cash.
The thief, as is often done in such
cases, had returned the checks and
drafts as they were useless to him.
Now that The truth is known the
bank officials hope Wilson will pluck
up courage and return.
