BOY FlEND's COLLAPSE.

That Jesse Pomeroy. the solitary
life prisoner at Charlestown prison.
has at last broken mentally under the
strain of his years of confinement,
became evident during the recent visit
of GOV. Walsh To the institution, says
the Boston Post.
When the governor. in his inspec-
tion, stopped before the cell in Cherry
HIN and the guard drew aside the iron
shutter which has cut off Pomeroy
from all communication, with even
the rest of his prison world a strange
thing occurred
Pomeroy. tor the first time that he
has been brought i'm contact with "A
chief executive since his imprison-
ment, did not ask for pardon or pro-
test his innocence. He, instead, told
the governor that he had a bank book
he wanted to send his mother, but
could not do So because of red tape.
Officers at the prison for some time
have known that Jesse has considered
himself immensely wealthy. The gov

book was and Pomeroy replied that it
was i'm the prison office. lie further
said that he had written to the prison
authorities about the bank book sew
eral times, but had received no salts
faction The governor promised he
would look after the bank book.
He then asked Pomeroy about his
health and if he had enough to eat.
Pomeroy said he was well, and that
the food was very substantial"
For thirty-six years Pomeroy has
been kept in solitary confinement and
many alienists have given opinions
regarding what effect it would have
upon his sanity. 1t is now believed
Pomeroy has weakened mentally un-
der the strain.

WILL LAY NEW CABLE.
Electric Light Company To Build New
Exclusive Power Line.

The Houghton County Electric
Light company this week received a
new submarine cable which is to be
laid on the bed of Portage lake to fur
nish power for new exclusive power
line. The line has been strung as far
as Senter, but it is not yet in use.
The new submarine represents a
new type of cable construction. in that
il contains no rubber. The water
prCoung rubber coating is replaced by
a vanished cambria. an efficient but
simple insulating material. The cab
le weighs $4,000 pounds, and is 43O
feet in length.
Heretofore the company has dis
tributed power from its transmission
line To Calumet, not having an eN-
elusive power line between Houghton
and Calumet. but the best electrical
practice now is to have
exclusive power lines so that the two
lines may not he inter-
fered with at any time. This is q
safety first device. too. II at any
time, there is trouble on one of the
lines, it can be killed
throughout its length. leaving the 9TH
pr line TO carry the load while repairs
ire being made.

SWAT THE FLY" CRUSADE
HAD EARLY START HERE
MERCHANTS CLAIM DEMAND
FOR SWATTERS AND AMMU-
NlTlON is INCREASING.

"Swat the ny" still is the slogan in
tha copper country. and apparently il
will continue TO be popular until the
cold weather drives the little pests
from the district. However, according
10 Houghton merchant, the demand
for hy swatters and other ammunition
has been decreasing of late, at least
i'm comparison with other years. He
attributes this to the fact that house,
wives commenced the campaign early
and have continued the fight without
let-up.
The housewives of Houghton are
not the only persons TO aid i'm this
crusade and some time ago the school
children were requested TO help inI
the work. No more are the flies as
numerous as I'm former years and many
feel that II this campaign were con-
tlnued as thoroughly as it was this
year the fly soon would be eXtermin-
ated.
Health authorities and organiza-
tions of an kinds are continually urg-
ing the determination Of the ny and |
the methods of dealing with them
have been explained i'm detail said |
one merchant yesterday. on one point
AN authorities are agreed. that the
best time to night the pest is early in
the spring, for IL increases with amaz-
ing rapidity. The increase is stupen-
dous and the annihilation Of the fly
cannot be confined TO any special time
but must be continued from the time
he makes his appearance in the early
summer until the cold winter weather
drives him away.
