Edison Thought First Of KeHetophOne

When Edison returned to his lab
oratory recently after several weeks
of illness, his first question of Mr.
Meadowcroft, his peronal assistant,
was concerning the progress of the
Talking Pictures. When told Of the
excellent new records and films that
had been made during his illness, he
was delighted.
"lhat's fine" he said with a
chuckle, +" wonder what some ol
those people who said | couldn I
make pictures talk will have to say
for themselves now"

Truth AbOut uog Cholera.

During the past two weeks my
attention has been called to the fact
that in certain sections of the
county hog cholera is again getting
in its deadly work. For the past
two months 1 have been working
along lines of eradication without
much heip from the farmers them
selves. Under such conditions We
can not hope to staDI ogt this dis.

What Another Muhlenberger Thinks
Of Our History.

Gus, KY, Aug. 80. 1913.
Mr.. Otto A. Rothert,
Louisville, XIV.
Friend Rothert:
If you realize the intense in
terest with which | have awaited
the appearance of your History
of Muhlenberg County, you
will readily pardon me for thus
desiring to express my graft
tude, for the great work ~ou
have accomplished in behalf of
my native county. | have Just
finished careful reading of
your book. and | believe | am
voicing the sentiments of every
true and loval citizen of the
county when | say. | am proud
of it.
The beautiful and substantial
binding, the profusion of good
illustrations and the excellent
quality of paper, all combine to
show that you did not hesit tie
in the matter of expense of pub
lication; the literary make up
of the book is a decided de-
parture from the usual dry style
of the historian, thus making
it peculiarly refreshing and in.
teresting to its readers.
But the subject matter is what
constitutes the real value of
your book. There is not a
chapter, not page that does
not contain something of per-
sonal interest to the reader, not
merely facts of historic interest.
but facts that are of a personal
interest to him, because it deals
with matters of which!he, him
self, has some individual knowl-
edge.
But there is another class by
whom your book will be well
coined. | refer to that con-
siderable class of Muhlenberg's s
sons and daughters who have
left native heath to make their
abodes in distant parts. In my
imagination | can see the for
mer citizen, in his western
home, surrounded by his family
turning the pages of your book
and, with beaming faces, point.
ing to each familiar illustra-
ton, or to paragraphs relating
to something with which he, OIL
some of his people, were per.
sonaliy concerned. When this
man opens the book, and gazes
upon its pages, he will feel as
if he were again standing at the
front gate of his old Mullen.
berg home.
| | certainly wish to congratu
late you upon the production OF
. work in which you have pre-,
served for us and for future
generations many historical anC
biographical facts, as well as
many interesting customs anC
traditions, which, in all prob.
ability, would otherwise have
bsen lost forever.
Very truly,

YOungSter Sore Because M'Graw
 Put Him in OutfieId

Arthur SIlafer, better known as TiIly,- the Scented Notes Kid, has left the Giants flat and jumped the club. Neither Manager ATcGraw nor Secre- tary Foster knows anything about Shafer's whereabouts, except that he has disappeared He failed to show up for practice yesterday morning, and Foster says he has unof1cially heard that Shafer has returned to his home in California
 Neither ATcGraw, Foster noW Shafer's teammates know what is the cause of this latest peeve of T1lly's. The only reason that any one connected with the club cam think of for Shafer's s action is that McGrawss move in shifting him to the outfie1d did not meet with his favor.
 'fWe do not understand Shafer's lat est move, as we surely have treated him right said Secretary Foster. ''We met his own terms last winter and signed him up for three years at his request.''
 Shafer has been suspended by Pres ident Hampstead for leaving the club without permission. In 1911 Shafer did not. report to the club at all and was suspended, but he was restored to good standing when he said he did not wish to leave the West because of the serious illness of his mother.

 A part of the great south stand was set aside for the former athletes to witness three big athletic events cn Franklin field during the day. These were the middle states interscholastic championship, the annual track meet between Cornell and Pennsylvania and the annual baseball game between Harvard and Pennsylvania.
 The association was started fifty years ago as a club by a few mem bers of the junior class and was in corporated ten years later under the laws of Pennsylvania Since its incor- poration the association has given to the university the big gymnasium, the Franklin field stadium and the train ing house, all valued at almost a 1nil- lion dollars

M'Graw Will Give Veteran Con- tract When He Quits
 TwirIing

Boston. May 17.-when Mathew sons days of usefulness as a pitcher for the New York Giants have ended Manager fcGraw is to tender him a three-year contract without reduction in salary. The extended contract will be without the usual clause for a ten days notice of release.
 McGraw recently announced this plan of retaining his star pitcher to Manager Joe Tinker of the Cfncin- natl Nationals, according to a state- ment by Tinker here yesterday
 That Mathewson would earn his salary as 8 coach of the Giants young pitchers, aside from any con sideration of the services he has rem dered the New York club in the past decade, was McGraw's reason, as Tinker gives 1t, for thus continuing the veteran on the payroll of the club. ''But Matty's career as an ac- tive pitcher has still some time to run," the New York manager is said to have added.

LAJOIE AND WAGNER
 CONTINUE TO CLOUTf
 WHILE PALS DROP OUT

Star players come and go in base ball, but Nap Latoie and Hans Wag- ner, two of the most brilliant products Of the game, go on forever, seemingly.
 Hans Wagner is back in the game for Pittsburgh, after a. 1ayoff, due to an injured knee, to the disgust of pitchers who must face him, while his manner of numbering across the dia- mond after batted balls is as terrify- ing as it was a. half-dozen years back.
 '"The King as the American Leaguers call Lajoie, is the same old Nap Years of starring have not dim med his batting eye Since the open ing of the season Larry has hit the ball in the fashion that kept him at the top of the list for years and has cut off base hits and made seem ing1y impossible plays around second with the same indolent ease which long ago earned him the reputation of being the most graceful man in baseball.
 Rube WaddelI has gone to the bushes and retired. Cy Young is man aging a team in the Federal league. One by one the stars fall, but to all appearance Larry and Hans are as good as they were ten years ago. Both deny they intend to retire, and Lajoie made his assertion strong by saying that he'd play until they tore off his uniform.

ROASTS ON JOHNNY KlLBANE
 UNJUST TO CAPABLE CHAMP
Jim Corbett Says Criticism Comes from Dis
 gruntled New York Writer

sumed it's shows and New Workers may look forward to an improvement in the class of boxing entertainment offered them the past few months. The Garden opened last week with the Gibbons brothers-Mike and Tommy -as the stars in the main bouts. Next Friday night an attractive heavy weight card has been arranged.
 In one of the bouts Jim Flynn, the Pueblo boxer, whose defeats by Lu- ther McCarty put him out of the run ming for the white cham pionship, will meet James J. Coffey, a local heavy weight, and Soldier Kearns, the heavy hitting BrookIynite, is to match his slugging ability against the recu- perative qualities of George Rodel, the rugged Boer heavy.
 Coffey, who has a number of knock outs to his credit, will be given his first chance with a. fighter of reputa- ton. Cofey was once knocked out in one round by Soldier Kearns, but that was before either fighter had ac- quired sufficient knowledge of the game to last him over night. It was hardly a fair test of Coffey's prowess and, as he has since that time cleaned rp half dozen or more of the third raters who bill themselves as hopes ,'' he has earned the right to be pitted with a better class of fighter. If suc- cessfuI over Flynn he will be given an opportunity to square accounts with the Soldier
 Kearns who last week administered another sleeping powder to One Round' Davis at Buffalo, will have to cut loose with his very best punches to score decisively over 'tBoer'' Ro- del. "Gunboat'' Smith trained his batteries on Rode1 for ten rounds re- gently and when the sm olxe cleared the Boer was still on his feet, and giving the 'tGunboat'' a broadside or two on his own accOunf
 The dope favors Kearns on account of his tremendous hitting power. No other heavy can put them over with the force that Kearns waIlops car ry-not even the 'tGunboat." If he defeats Rodel the ''Soldier' will be sent against the winner of the Coffey- Flynn bout, and, if successful again, will have to be reckoned with by the top-notchers in the white hope di- vision.
 Kearns was coming to the front with great speed until he bumped into Jess Willard The beating the Kan san gave him did not discourage the Soldier" a whit, and he began all over again. Recently he has put ev- cry opponent to sleep within the ten round limit, with the Single exception of the veteran Jack saTwire' Sullivan whose experience and Knowledge of boxing enabled him to not only last the route but to earn the popular yer dict on points.
 If Kearns could be taught to defend himself occasionally while fighting and not to depend altogether on his slug ging ability he might amount to some thing some of these days. His meth cd has proved effective against slug gers of his Own kind for the simple reason that his punches outweigh those Of his opponents, but it was of little avail against Willard and SulIi- IL as their hands when oppoaad to hard hitting, rushing fighters such as Kearns.
