Record for FaithfuIness and

Isaac w. Hallam. the grand old man OF
the telegraph service in the United States,
completed his fifty-first year of continu-
Gus employment at the office Of the West
ern Union company at Wilmington, Del,
recently. During all that time he has not
missed a day at his desk, with the eX-
ception of a furlough Of one week, which
he took at the time of his marriage
In 1864.
For continuous service as a clerk in
connection with a telegraph company his
record is unparalleled. For years he has
reached the office at $40 a. m, to the
minute, and has been just as punctual in
leaving for his home at AIS p. II. Clocks
have been set upon the daily appearance
Of this man.
Hallam is in his Sod year., having been
born In Mamaroneck, n. Y, on May p,
1898. He entered the service OF the West
ern Union company In Wilmington Sep
tember /, 1858, and during the civil war
when General Mcclellan was on the Chick
ahominy River, Virginia, and the only
way in which the government could COM

fancy the establishment and even the alarm
of the crews of the ordinary sailing boats

towns along the shores. 1t is asserted that
some of the sailors when they saw this
queer looking sailless thing" gaining upon
them in spite of contrary wind and tide,
actually abandoned their vessels and took
to the woods In fright. Others, who saw
the boat in the night, described her as a

the winds and tide, and breathing flames

lead. This bottom or platform was laid in
a transverse platform and moulded out
with batten and nails. The shape Of tho

Fulton did not take out a patent for his
