An Early Crazy Visitor.

Mr.. S. E. Horn, who resides upon farm
near Buck Lodge this county, had an I'M
usual experience last Sunday morning.
Coming out of his house about O'Clock
he saw strange man walking to and fro
upon the road running Immediately in
front of the house. He approached the
stranger and asked him what he wanted.
His early visitor replied, you are not the
man; want to see the old man." And he
went directly to the stable without further
words. There he took a piece of lumber
from pile and tied pieces of tarred rope
to both ends of it, and began to make
measurements of it, The measurements
he repeated many times. These, with many
like harmless acts. which he performed
until about 10 O'Clock in the day, indicated
that he was of unsound mind and caused
Mr.. Horn to conclude that he ought to be
in the custody of the officers of the law.
Mr.. Horn obtained the assistance of Mr..
Jas. P. Colt, the nearest neighbor, and they
handcuffed the stranger. They searched
him without finding cent of money or a
scrap of paper upon his person. He re-
fused to make known his identity. They
turned him over to an officer of the law
and he was brought to jail here Since
imprisoned. he has told that his name is
Carl H. Roland, of Youngstown, Ohio. On
Tuesday the County Commissioners ordered
Roland confined in the Springfield Asylum,

The entertainment given in the Rockville

ers of that institution, headed by R. j.

words. AS each participant missed spelling
a word he or she was retired from the ranks
and not allowed to take any further part.
The wochieftains dropped out early in the
conflict, followed by their attendants after
valliantly battling without leaders. until the
contest narrowed down to Miss Marie Tai
bolt, daughter of Mr. Vim. H. Talbot. and
Mr.. Frank Higgins. The latter of Mrs.
Lamar's line. finally came out victorious
and was presented with delicious cake.

The contest created more good-natured
comment on the part Of our citizens than
any other public affair has for sometime
past. Those who were there were delighted
that they had attended and those who did
not attend regretted that they had not.

Takoma Park Has 1858 Residents

A census of Takoma Park, including the
District section and that portion lying in
Maryland, has just been completed by E
Norman Jackson, civil engineer of Tako.
ma Park, who presented complete report
OF his work at late meeting of the town
council
The report shows that there are 29S
residents in the District portion and $40
on the outskirts of Takoma Park not in
cluded within the corporation limits. With
in the corporation limits there are 1854
residents, making grand total of 1888.
Of this number about 05l per cent. are
colored, the population numbering IS.
Of the other $50. the colored residents
number 1853. There are 900 Seventh Day
Adventists residing in the Park.
The census of Takoma Park, Md, in the
various subdivisions is as follows: North
Takoma, 243; old Takoma, 1888 new Ia
koma, 344; Lipscombs & Ernest's subdi-
vision, 1873; Holt tract, II; lots, SO to So,
| 33l; Cunningham's subdivision, IS; Car
rolls addition, ll2; Carroll tract, 40; FL
field tract, Al, making total of 1854. OF
this number 483 were children, 797 male
population, 867 females, and colored, IS.
On the District side and outlying portion
of the park, the result of the canvass was
as follows: Old Takoma Park, D. c., 383 {;
Fifeld, D. c., 49, Hodges farm. Md, 80 !;
blocks 64-65, in Maryland, 80; Grammer's
| addition, D, c.. 1855; Takoma Heights and
Blair road. D. c., 116; North Takoma, Md,
8; Fenton-Palmer-Priest tract, Maryland,
70, and Gibbs & Kosacks' subdivision, Md,
So, making total of $50. OF this pro-
portion, the record shows 500 to be chill
dren, 470 of male population and 400
females, and 1853 colored.
On the Maryland side there were 307
buildings and residences, of which number
ten were vacant, being untenable, while on
the District side there were found to be but
eight, which were practically of the same
character.
The total number of children in the Dis
trict and on the Maryland side is 1888 ;
males, 1867 females, 1866, and colored,
253.
The report further shows that there are
two churches, six schools, nine stores and
twenty-five springs. The ground covered
by Mr.. Jackson in compiling his report was
about 1900 acres. The census has been
taken from time to time by the Washing
ton police but their report only covers that
portion lying Immediately within the Dis
trict limits. This is. therefore, the first at
tempt to get census of the entire town.
The report will become part of the towns
records. 1t is especially interesting at this
time in view of the recent census taken
by the federal government.

Mnltipiex Telephone Invention

From the Washington Times
Hundreds of inquiries from all parts of
the country are daily pouring into the office
of Brig. Gen. James Allen, chief of the
Signal Corps, u. S. A., and his assistant,
Major j. 0. Squier, following the announce
ment by these officers that they had proven
the practicability of carrying on two or
more conversations simultaneously over a
single telephone circuit,
Since the publication of the report of the
successful experiments Of the Signal Corps
at Washington and the discovery of prac-
teal means of Multiplex telephony, the
officers have had little time for their rou-
tine duties. Letters from telephone COM
panies, business houses, and private indi-
viduals have come in increasing numbers.
To each the same reply is made. The
inquirers are without exception referred to
the United States Patent Office There,
for cents, the questioners are informed
they may obtain copies of the specifica-
tons OF the instruments needed for multi
pick telephony, with complete instructions
as to their use. For, not the least unique
feature of the Signal Corps announcement
is the fact that the invention, though
patented is free to the people of the United
States Major Squier has refrained from
reserving any rights of discovery for his
own credit
An extended and technical report upon
his experiments and their results has been
prepared by Major Squier. and is now being
printed in pamphlet form. This is expected
to attract more attention in the scientific
world than the first announcement, which
came as a New Year surprise won in the
business world
Daily demonstrations of the multiplex
telephony system invented by the Signal
Corps officers are bieng given to the city,
in the course of the ordinary routine of the
service. The devices of the system have
been installed on the telephone line opera
ted between the Bureau Of Standards in
Chevy Chase. and the Signal Corps labora-
tory, on Pennsylvania avenue. This line
is also connected with other offices in the
city, making the total distance over which
the system is in use more than seven
miles. Further experiments over greater
distances are planned.
