larceny of 500 from a friend in Sterling.
Hayes was seen here and then disap-
peared SO mysteriously hat the police
We're baffled.
The first clue that resulted in h dis
covery of Hayes came when the police
learned that Miss Johnson had bought
food and carried it to her room. It
was known that she took her meals in
the house where she lived Her room
was entered, and the girl was found
calmly ~embroidering. There was no
trace of the fugitive. and the men were
about TO depart when n curious po-

Hayes was discovered stretched put on
cushions. Miss johnson began to weep

Since 1908 PUBLIC SERVICE has expendel more
than $4,000, GOD for improvements to It's railway, ga.
and electric properties. many of which had to be
practically rebuilt.
PUBLIC SERVICE has built or rebuilt $50 miles of
track for its street railway system.
PUBLIC SERVICE has added 800 cars of the most
modern type to its rolling stock equipment.
PUBLIC SERVICE has extended its five cent carfar.
zones and enlarged it's transfer privileges.
PUBLIC SERVICE has increa sed its electric lighting
and railway power generating capacity from Al, ZOO kiio-
watts in 1908 to 10000 kiiowatts in 1908.
This means 1877, BOD horsepower available for gener-
ating electricity at The present time, as against $1,000
Horsepower at the tim. PUBLIC SERVICE acquired the
properties.
PUBLIC SERVICE has put into effect throughout
almost its entire system a base rate of tenAcents per
kiiowatt hour for electricity, whereas many consumers
formerly paid as high as eighteen or twenty cents.
PUBLIC SERVICE has increased its mileage of gas
mains from 1885 miles in 1903 to 2,037 miles in 1908. of
which increase 22 miles were acquired by lease, and has
made dollar gas a reality in all but a small portion of its
territory. Some sectioi; getting dollar gas now were
paying all the way 20 ST. 80 six years ago.
All these changes have vastly bettered the service
and the public derives the benefit. And all these i'm
p~rovements were instituted and carried out in accordance
with a weiI-dsfinsd policy, fixed by the company at the
outset of its operations, to give the people the best posi-
BILE service at the lowest feasibi= rates.
This policy Is to be continued and the service in all
three departments of railway, gas and electricity is to
be made as nearly perfect and as low priced as the wise
expenditure of money and intelligent effort can make it.

STEERS A|RSHIP

HOBOKEN, Jan. 2S.-Mark o. An
thony, an electrical engineer, made a
remarkable demonstration in this city
yesterday of a dirigible airship model,
directing its movements from che
ground by means of an instrument
similar to that used in wireless
biography.
Sitting at a small electrical key
board the inventor licked off various
combinations of dots and dashes, each
combination causing the alloo to
perform some particular movement.
Sometimes the operator placed his in
strument directly under the balloon,
and again would remove it 200 feet
away. Distance had no effect upon
the control, and the response of the
mechanism which operated the pro-
pellers was prompt and effective.

WHY Or. MUNHALL WITHDREW

Athletic Pastor Decides Not to Enter

Bitter disappointment lies in store

ly speaking.

Philip Cummings of Philadelphia,

the custom at this time for each bursar
to take his turn in invoking blessing"
at the meals. The college table having
been surfeited with an unbroken diet
of rabbits in various forms of cookery.
Ferguson, on being called to say
grace. repeated what are now celebrat-
ed lines:
For rabbits young and for rabbits old.
For rabbits hot and for rabbits cold,
For rabbits tender and for rabbits tough

"OO much occupied in concentrate

that Langdon was responsible for the
defeat of Gulf City, and the mayor u
wild for revenge"
''aThe boss of the senate" rose and
walked to the rear Of the senate cham
Der to issue orders to two Of his coll
leagues.
"Report of the committee on naval
AFFAIRS" droned the clerk mechanical
". "House bill No. 11O9 is amended
to read as follows''- And his voice
sank to an unintelligible humble, for
every senator present he we'll knew
was aware that the amendment named
Altacoola as the naval base site.
Senator Langdon rose in his seat
'Mr. President" he called.
"Chair Recognizes the gentleman
from Mississippi" said the presiding
officer as he leaned back to speak to
Senator Winans Of Kansas, who had
approached to the side of the rostrum.
The Langdon speech on ''The New
South and the South of the Future
proved more than document suited
only to a reverent burial in the Con-
gressional Record. Although wearied
at the start owing to the exciting hap
penings Of the day, the Mississippian's
enthusiasm for his cause gave him
strength and stimulation as he pro-
crossed. His voice rose majestically
as he came to the particular points he
wished to accentuate. and even those
in the uppermost rows in the galleries
could hear his every word.
At the close of his formal speech he
began on his statement of the action
of the naval affairs committee in buy
ing control Of Altacoola land to foil
attempts to rob the government. As
he had predicted, the senate did 'sit
up" The senate did agree that new
kind of politics had arrived.
During this latter part of the speech
many curious glances were directed at
Peabody and Stevens, who sat in the
same tier Of seats, in the middle Of the
chamber, only an aisle separating
them. Through this choice Of seats
they could confer without leaving their
places. Various senatorial associates
of these two men in other deals found
It difficult to believe their ears-but
was not old Langdon at this moment
narrating the amazing transaction on
the floor Of the senate? Would the
statue ON the pedestal step down?
Would the sphinx Of the desert speak
the story Of the lost centuries? Would
honor take the place Of expediency in
the affairs of state? What might not
happen, thought the senate machine,
now that Peabody and Stevens had
taken to their bosoms what they
termed the purple pup Of political
purity?
Neither did the full portent of the
situation escape the attention of the
reporters gallery. Dick Cullen OBJ

THE RUSSIAN PEASANT.
Stupid and Poor, q Good Fellow Who
Merely Exists.

The Russian peasant does not live;
he merely exists. "Nitchevo" cit Is
nothing'D, he merely says when any
thing happens to him. Nothing mat
tiers, nothing could be worse, and
1.Nitchevo" is his panacea for all evils.
Aud yet the Russian moujik is really q
fine fellow. Ordinarily, II. p. Kennard
tells us in his book, 1.-The Russian
Peasant" he is splendid, well built
man, large limbed, large headed and
healthy. He is equally unaffected by
20 degrees Of frost or twenty glasses OF
vodka. He is clothed in incurred sheep
skins and carries in winter more
clothes than the average Englishman
could stand up in.
He is unspeakably stupid, however.
and his dream Of happiness is to gorge.
to sleep as much as possible through
the winter and dance and sing in the
summer. But the strangers first OBJ
lection to the moujik is that he smells
not because he does not wash him
self. AS matter Of fact, in every vii
lage there are public baths-baaza-
and the peasants wash themselves
there unfailingly every Saturday In
order to be allowed to go to church on
Sunday, for the Orthodox church en-
joins cleanliness.
The Russian peasant is always poor
and generally in debt. He plows the
land in the same Wy that his father
plowed it and gets DIS little for his la
Dor. His main worry In life is how to
pay the governors taxes. If he says
he cannot pay he Is logged, or perhaps
he will sell part of his next years

I'VE are German people, come from

country when we saw strange foot
prints in the snow, and my friend the
prince here saw them, and we thought
they might be fox's or martens foot
prints or it might be those of beauti-
full girl. We hunters, we good fell
lows, are determined not to rest till
we have found the animal. We have
been in all cities from Germany to
Turkey and have sought for this fox,
this marten or this princess, and atlast
we have seen the same strange foot
prints IN the snow again, here by your
court. And we have come in. Come,
let us take her, the beautiful princess,
for we see her in front Of us, or can
it be that you would keep her till she
grows a little older?"

inventor Davy and Love.

Sir Humphry Davy. the inventor OF
the Davy lamp, found love something
of delusion, If not a snare. Writing
to his mother, he said, Il am the hap
piest Of men in the hope of union
with a woman equally distinguished
for virtues, talents and accomplish
ments." And in letter to his brother
he expresses his rapture thus: "Mrs.
Apprece has consented to marry me.
and when the event takes place shall
not envy kings, princes or potentates."
The widow must have been person
possessed of great, powers Of fascina-
ton, for Sir Henry Holland makes
mention of her as lady who made
such sensation in Edinburgh society
that even regius professor did not
think it beneath his scholarship to go
down on his knees in the street to fas-
ten her shoe. The sequel need not be
dwelt upon further than to add that
the marriage turned out to be alto
gether mistake.
