Vaudeville Star, Writes to
His Parents Regarding the
Occasion.

Could Not Attend the Recep-
ton for the Crowd.

Walter Elliott, who has earned a
worldwide reputation in vaudeville, a
son of Mr. and Mrs Thomas Elliott
of this city, was in Buda Pesth. Aus
tria- a-Hungary, at the time ex-Presiden
Theodore Roosevelt visited that place
and in a letter to his father. he de
scribed the welcome which was be
slowed He also .inclosh a clipping
from a London daily giving an account
of the visit.
Had it not been for the foreign
tongue spoken by the natives OF that
country, Buda Pesth could not have
been distinguished from an American
city on the occasion OF Roosevelt's
visit. American flags were displayed
from every business house and even
the residences in the poorest sections
of the city were gaily decorated. Mr..
Elliott said that there was nothing
like the demonstration given the visit
or and he does not believe it possible
for the United States to give more
enthusiastic welcome, when Roosevelt
arrives here, and concludes the most
triumphal tour ever taken by lead
er of the people.
Describes the Banquet.
On the night of his arrival Roose-
Welt was the honor guest at a big BAN
quet which was attended by the ma
jority of the dignitaries of Austria
Hungary and many from other coun-
tries of Europe. The hall would ac-
commodate more than thousand per-
sons, but it was practically impossi-
BILE for late arrival to gain access.
Mr.. Elliott endeavored to attend but
could not get within a hundred feet
of the entrance. However, he was
one of the American colony of Buda
Pesth who was able to meet the form
er chief executive, personally.
The London daily gave much space
to the occasion and the article was in
every way conducive of engendering
the utmost interest Of the public in
COL Roosevelt The correspondent
had as his lead the address of well
come, delivered by Count Apponyi,
which is as follows:

In reply, Col. Roosevelt spoke ex-
tempofaneously and discussed the his
tory of the country and what 1t stood
for. The correspondent in describ-
ing the reception said. "The address
was one of the most inspiriting
speeches he has made in the course
of his trip" In regard to the vel

The action of the county commits
sioners In granting perpetual fran
chise to Robert .Ashe. to construct an
electrical line on the highways for the
supplying OF light and power to cor
porations and individuals in eleven of
the fourteen townships OF the county,
last Wednesday. without clauses pro-
tecting the public. was discussed this
morning at meeting Of the Munich
pal Research committee. at the Com
mercial club rooms.
Condemnation of the franchise
granted to Mr.. Ashe was emphatically
given In resolution drawn up this
afternoon by the committee, which
was filed with the commissioners. The
committee demands that the fran
chise be rescinded because 1t is un-
fair. unjust and unreasonable and not
specific enough in its provisions.
More Publicity Urged.
The committee recommends In its
resolution that If new one is pre-
sentcd that mature consideration be
given the matter: that the public be
fully Informed on all of the proposed
provisions, and that other matters be
embodied which will not only Yrotect
the citizens now, but also in <he fu-
ture.
Tho committee severely censured
the commissioners for acting upon the
franchise ON the same day of its fill
Ing. The committee says that the
public. which is to be affected by the
franchise. should know before its pas
sage what It's provisions will be. and
be parties to the contract
Tbs matter Of representatives OF
county or city governments giving
perpetual franchises was also very
severely condemned
The committee determined to draft
a resolution embodying its objection
to the franchise and present them to
the county commissioners The objec-
tions are that the county does not re-
ceive any remuneration for bestowing
valuable rights Of use OF the highways;
that the consideration by the commits
sioners was hasty. ill-advised, and that
the public should be informed in fu-
ture when such matters We're to be
considered: that the franchise was too
general and for too long period: that
no provisions were embodied in the
document relative Ia the rates to be
charged. and such matters OF protec-
tlon to the public.
The committee had full repre-
gentatiOn OF its membership present

THE TELEWRITER.

An ingenious instrument called the
telewriter has been installed in Lon
don and promises to revolutionize
present day telegraph and telephone
methods. BY means of a telewrlter
one may send a message which will
be permanently recorded by the in
strument of the person to whom the
message is sent The telewriter pro-
yides a transmitter and receiver. each
provided with pencil controlled by
iointed arms on the "pantograph
principle: and what a man writes or
draws on the transmitter appears sim
ultaneously in fac smile, on the re-
ceiver. There is no noise, no room
for misunderstanding no delay, no
telegraph messenger; all that is neces-
sary is to hang up the telephone re-
ceiver and so bring the telewriter into
play. Figures and diagrams and tables
of statistics can be transmitted as
easily as excuses for not going home
to dinner: and. whether the intended
recipient be present by the receiver
OF not. they remain on permanent rec
ord. as evidence against the man who
sent them Up to the present there
has been no weak point found in the
system.

YOUNG NLNIORTALs.

The Germans call them 'Wunder
Kinder"-wonder children-and Ger
many. Austria and Hungary have had
a lions share of them. these mar
velous boys who at eight and ten or
at twelve years old have become spe-
cialists in art or in science. Nearly
always these infant prodigies are pro-
digiously musical, and sometimes they
grow up into great men, as Mozart
and Haydn grew. but pathetically
often they die before twenty, die Of
their own premature ripening.
There was one universal genius,
only one, Admirable Crichton, but
scores of boys have shown genius in
one direction at an age when most
children are mere babies. Mozart be-
gan to compose at the age of four;
Pope was but five when he ''lisped in
numbers and the numbers came;
Millais showed genius before he was
six, and was but ten years old when
his paintings We're accepted by the
National Academy. Chatterton died at
seventeen, after an astonishing career.
Henry Kirke White and John Keats
were great poets at twelve; one died
at twenty-one. the other at twenty
four-yOung immortals.

nRICIN OF COAL.

The substance of coal is all derived
from vegetables which at one time
grew upon the surface of the earth,
either in dry land or in marshes, or
beneath the water. In any bog Or
swamp may be seen one step in one
kind of process of the transformation
of living plants into coal.
On the surface grows the green liv-
ing moss with many other plants. Two
or three inches below that is a brown,
spongy mass, consisting of the fibre of
dead plants: this passes gradually
down into a compacted brown mass in
which the vegetable tissue begins to
disappear Lower down it is still
denser and darker. and all obvious
traces Of fibre and tissue, perhaps, are
lost. until at a depth of sometimes
thirty feet. compact black substance
is found which cuts like cheese, but.
except for its dampness, might be
called soft coal When artificially
dried and compressed it makes hard.

ALL MORE OR LESS IRISH.

In letter from Ireland to his own
paper at Emporia, Kan. William Allen
White, a journalist of national re-
nown, says:
Nearly all Americans are more or
less Irish. If they are not Irish by
blood they are by temperament. So
any journey to Europe pretending to
be visit to the home of our forefath-
ers would be a miserable failure if it
omitted ireland. For Ireland's influ-
ence is one of the big things of our
life. And we must come to Ireland to
realize it. To superficial observers,
such as we are in the very nature of
the case, Ireland seems to be so much
like America that one wonders whether
or not England or Ireland is the real
fatherland. In the first piece, we
Americans talk English as it is
spoken in Dublin. The American can
come nearer understanding the COM

OUR RECORD.

(By Mary Elizabeth Blake.)
Who casts a slur on Irish worth. a
stain on Irish fame
Who breads to own his Irish blood or
wear his Irish name
Who scornS the warmth of Irish
hearts. the clasp of Irish hands?
Let us but raise the veil tonight and
shame him as he stands
The Irish fame! 1t rests enshrined
within its own proud light,
Wherever sword, or tongue or pen has
fashioned deeds@ of might;
From battle charge OF Fontenoy to
Grattan's thunder tone
1t holds its storied past on high un-
rivaled and alone.
The Irish blood! It's crimson tide has
watered hill and plain
Wherever there were wrongs to crush,
or free mems rights to gain;
No bastard thought, no coward fear
has held it tamely by
When there We're noble deeds to do
or noble deaths to die!
The Irish heart! The Irish heart! God
keep it fair and free.
The fullness of its kindly thought its
wealth of honest glee,
Its generous strength, its ardent faith,
its accomplishing TRUST,
Though every worshipped idol breaks
and crumbles unto dust.
And Irish hands-aye lift them up;
;embrowned by honest toll,
The champions of the western world,
the guardians of the soil;
Whom Cbn6 tIai,, ho+tlo c11-Orjr 81
waiting world might see
What Irish hands could do and dare
to keep a nation free.
They bore our starry flag above
through bastion gate and wall,
They stood before the foremost rank,
the bravest of them all;
And when before the lannon's mouth
they held the foe at bay,
o never could old Ireland's heart beat
prouder than that day!
So when craven fain would hide the
birthmark of his race,
Or lightly speak of Erin's sons before
her children's face
Breathe no weak word of scorn or
shame, but crush him where he
stands,
With Irish worth and Irish fame, as
won by Irish hands.

SIMPLE LIFE FOR CAPUCHINs.

The Capuchin monks in Austria
have been recalled to the simpler life
by circular issued by the head of
the order acting with the approval of
the Pope The friars are enioined TO
return to the strict observance of the
original rules of the order, by which
they were forbidden TO wear hats or
shoes the only garments allowed be-
ing a long c.Owl with a rope around
the waist. sandals and a skull cap,
and an undershirt of wool in severe
weather
The Capuchins are d numerous body
in Austria and it is in the vaults of
their monastery in Vienna that the
Austrian emperors and members of
the imperial family are buried Any
visitor to Vienna will have noted that
the friars have greatly relaxed the
original rigor of the rules of st. Fran
els. They wear hats and shoes and
they certainly do not refrain from
washing and shaving. So far from
dedicating their lives entirely to the
poor many of them are popular as
father confessors among the aristoc-
racy..
What success will meet the at
tempt to compel them to return to the
life of the middle ages remains to be
seen. The prior of the important Cap
ucshin monastery. at Pressburg has
sgnified his opinion by resigning his
post, declaring in letter to the Pope
that he is too old to change his way
of life. The general feeling in the
order is that the new regulations
should be binding only on the mem
.bers who join after the issue of the
circular

THE DYING GIRL.
(By R. D. Williams.)
From a Munster vale they brought

lBN *, u. Williams
From a Munster vale they brought
her,
From the pure and balmy air,
An Ormond peasants daughter,
With blue eyes and golden hair.
They brought her to the city,
And she faded slowly there,
Consumption has no pity
For blue eyes and golden hair.
When L saw her first reclining
Her lips were moved in pray'r,
And the setting sun was shining
On her loosen'd golden hair.
When our kindly chances met her,
Deadly brilliant was her eye,
And she said that She was better
While she knew that she must die,
She speaks of Munster valleys,
The patron, dance, and fair.
And her thin hand feebly dallies
With her scattered golden hair,
When silently we listened
To her breath with quiet care,
Her eyes with wonder glistene' d
And she asked us what was there?
The poor thing smiled to ask it,
And her gentle mouth laid bare,
Like gems within casket
A string of pearlets rare.
We said that we were trying
By the gushing of her blood.
And the time she took in signing
To know if she were good.
