London, Aug. 9.-The Morning
Posts Amsterdam correspondent for
wards the text of a popular German
music hall song, entitled "The De-

ed as a marching song by Rudolf
Kuhn. The verses tell the following
tale.
"She sailed for England from New
York with contraband. She invited
thousands to travel on board. But
our submarine smelt a choice dish.
"The Lusitania sailed merrily
along her criminal course; but the
submarine was on the watch off Ire
lands coast. She carried Ameri-
cans, Englshmen, Frenchmen.
Greeks and Dutehmen to the dance
of death.

who were not suffocated were drown

is a pity that Minister Grey was not
there. too"
After references to complaints by
mermaids at being disturbed by so
many explosions aud by vile gases
emitted y by the American ammuni-
ton, the poem continues:
80 there the dead lay.

Small Majority.
GABE LIKENs LOSES HIS RACE

While A. o. Stanley, of Hender-
son, won his race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor in Satdr-
days primary, by a plurality, from
the returns received, exceeding 49,
900, and which may exceed $4,000,
giving him q majority over both OPP
ponents, Fl. v. McChesney and Ed
ward j. McDermott, the races for
the minor State officers are yet
shrouded in some doubt, 50 far as
the actual pluralities are concerned.
However, it appears from the re-
turns that the following have won
their races:
Robert L. Green over Thomas s..
Rhea, for Auditor.
Sherman Goodpaster over Claude
B. Terrell, for Treasurer.
Matt 8. Conen over H. M. Froh-
man, lOI commissioner VI H6iiS"i
'ture.
The close races embrace that for
Lieutenant Governor in which James
p. Edwards, of Louisville, claims a
plurality of 1850 over his nearest
opponent, Judge James d. Black, of
Barbourville. Mr.. Edwards mana
gers claim to have received anthem
tic reports from eighty-fve counties
in the State. Another close race.
that for Secretary of State. in which
Charles w. Milliken, of Louisville,
and Barksdale Hamlet, of Hopkins
vile, appear to be running neck and
neck. Mr.. Millikens big vote in
Louisville gave him a decided ad-
vantage. On the face of the returns.
Hamlet leads by about 1000 with
several counties to hear from. This
was the race in which our Ohio
county man, Mr. Gabe Likens, lost
out.
In the race for Clerk of the Court
of Appeals, the advantage appears
to be with Rodman w. Keenon. of
Harrodsburg. who leads his oppo-
nent. Alvin Steger, of Owenton, by
about $500 on the face of the re-
turns so far received.
The race for Superintendent of
Bubble Instruction is shrouded in
considerable doubt. and both V. o.
Gilbert. of Frankfort, and R. S. Eu-
bank. of Lexington, are claiming the
nomination.

Complete returns from thirty

decide the race between James p.
Edwards and Judge James Black
for the Democratic nomination for
Lieutenant Governor. Edwards is
leading by 1,017, but several East
ern Kentucky counties have not re-
ported. A. o. Stanley's vote in his
race for Governor now stands at 49,
9S1. McChesney's totals are S.

has been nominated Secretary of

Telephoning over such a great dis
lance would have been absolutely i'm
possible without another wonderful
inVentiOn-the reneating, or lOadlu !
coils. Without any technical desarip-
ton, it is sufficient to say that these
loading coils are placed at various
points along the line and give the
electrical waves additional force and
power.

Of 35O5 miles.
A spur line runs from Chicago to
Pittsburg, 5l5 miles, and thence to New
YORK, $50 miles. Another spur con-
meets Buffalo and New York, $50 miles
On the same day the line between
Boston and San Francisco was opened
telephone conversation was estab-
1shed between New York and San
francisco. Professor Bell talked from
the New York end and his early asso-
ciate, Thomas A. Watson. from San
Francisco.
An interesting fact in connection
with the opening of this line is that
Professor Bell used at the New York
END an exact reproduction of his first
crude instrument. At first it could
be used only a few feet. That that
instrument could be used in talking
between New York and San Francisco
is due to tine skill and inventions OF
those engineers who followed Bell at
ter his retirement from the telephone
business, in the perfection of the
telephone and of switchbOards. cables
ana the hundreds of other accessors
to successful telephone transmission.
Looking Backward to the Beginning
On the evening of oct. 9. 1876 the
hrst long conversation over the tele-
phone was made by Bell and Watson
They talked for three hours over a
telegraph line between Boston and
cambridge. 1t was the wonder OF
the day In May. 1877, a Charles
town man leased two telephones-th
hrst money ever paid for telephone
service The same month the first

Then, by means of wonderful de

There are IA 020 miles of hard
drawn copper wire in both of these

weighs $40 pounds, so that the entire

is over 1000 tons. This tremendous

The opening of this line has a pc

Boston and New England. for it was
in Boston that Professor Alexander
Graham Bell invented the telephone in
1876, less than forty years ago. A
little later the longest toll line in the
world stretched from Boston to
Lowell and the service was poor and
intermittent. How marvellous has
been the progress.
