A POLIGE SGARE. I
At 1 a.m.Thursday morning as Officer
Pennington was standing in front of
the Mahackemo block at South Nor-
walk, counting the stars and dreaming
of his coming bicycle race with Captain
caught the
sound of breaking glass. He listened
and another crash of falling glass
greeted his ears. '
Locating the sound as coming from
Railroad ‘Place, the Officer drew his
police whistle and blew a blast long and
loud. In an instant Officer Ireland was
on hand and together the two tip-teed
- down Railroad Place peering into each
store as they passed and hardly breath-
ing else they disturb the suspected
burglar. '
When the two officers arrived at the
“Monte Christo Parlor, Barbor Shop”
kept by Joseph Eula at No. 33, they
discovered that the glass in the front
door had been broken and was scattered
about on the sidewalk.
Visions of burglars appeared before
them, and while one kept guard the
other hastened to Solmans’ stable and
aroused night watchman Sullivan. Back
they went to the scene of the burglary,
and when Sullivan opened the stable
door and exposed to view the side door
of Eula’s shop, which opens into the
stable entrance,wide open, both officers
drew their six-shooters and prepared
themselves for an encounter with burg-
lars. >
After drawing lots to ascertain who
should enter first, Ireland started in,
he having drawn. the shortest straw,
closely followed by Pennington. But
no burglars were in sight, and beyond
a broken spittoon lying on the floor, a
chair containing another spittoon
braced against the front door, every-
thing was in order as Eula had left it
early in the evening. ’
Here was a mystery too deep for the
Officers to solve, and one of them went
after Eula who quickly appeared upon
the scene and explained the broken
glass and midnight visit to his shop.
It seems that early in the evening
his little boy called at the shop and be-
coming sleepy had crawled under the
dresser and gone fast to sleep. Eula
locked up without noticing the sleep-
ing lad and gorng home went to bed.
At one o’clock the youngster awoke and
finding himself imprisoned placed a
chair aganist the door and climbing up
broke the glass in the door in hopes of
being able to crawl through. This he
was unable to do, however, and getting
down from the chair went to the side
door which he found locked from the
inside and the key in the lock. He
"lost no time in opening the door and
getting to his home on Monroe street,
arriving just a few minutes before the
police.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derange thew ole
system when entering it through the inn-
cous surfaces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from rep-
utable physicians’ as the damage you will
do is ten fold to the good you can possib-
ly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney &Co.,
Toledo. 0., contains no mercury and is
taken internally, acting directly upon the

TESLA’S NEWMARVEL;
A MACHINE FOR COMMUNICATING
WITH THE STARS-
The Electric Oscillator will Telegraph
‘Without Wires to all Parts of the Earth .
at Once and May Beach the lglanets by
Electric “fires.
In a recent interview Nikola Tesla,
the famous scientist, said:
“My electric oscillator is nearly com-
pleted. I have spent years in experi-
ments, and have been alternately en-
couraged and discouraged by the re
sults. But now there is everything to
promise success. It seems to be close
ahead.” '
Mr. Tesla’s remarks were occasioned
by inquiries concerning the truth of the
rumor that he was perfecting an instru-
ment for communicating with the
planets by means of electrical waves.
The inventor said of this: .
“Perhaps in time, but not yet. We
have to begin with little things before
we can accomplish great ones. I am
confident that the principles upon
which I have been working are correct.
How soon they will be demonstrated of
course I cannot say. The perfection
may come in ten minutes and perhaps
not for years. But that it will be pos-
sible to signal to all parts of the earth
simultaneously, and that from the logi-
cal development of this it will be possi-
ble to signal the stars by electrical dis-
turbances here, I have no doubt what-
ever.
“From my recent experiments I am
convinced that within a very short
time we shall be independent of the
clumsy methods of generating electric-
ity now in vogue. The electrical fluid
in the atmosphere will give energy
enough. The same electric envelope of
the earth will enable us to send mes-
sages from one part of the globe to all
other parts in an instant of time. The
same element, which, I believe, is in-
finite and is not confined to this atmos-
phere, may be used to communicate
with the other planets.”
“Can you give any description of this
apparatus?” was asked. .
"I regret very much to say that I
cannot at preSent. It is rather atool
than an apparatus. My experiments
are made scientifically, on asm'all scale,
for I have neither the money nor the
space at my disposal to do more. But it
is readily admitted that if I prove my
principles in this minor way, and I am
able to do what I am sure can be done
with electricity in a limited fashion, it
will only need an extension of method
to accomplish the greater results. Sim-
ultaneously announcements may then
be made in all parts of the world.”
“Will the work accomplished by the
oscillator be restricted to the sending of
messages of this kind?” was inquired.
“N 0, not at all,” he replied. “It will
realize the possibility of generating
light so that the means new used will
at once appear old fashioned.
“Electric lights will be exceedingly
cheap, and so will electric heat. The
principle will be applied to all lines of
necessity in which the use of the force
is now important.
“In photography I have already
achieved results from the experiments
with the oscillator in the Roentgen
principles at a distance of 40 feet, and
have secured photographs that are much
more elaborate in detail than any other
I have seen or that I have heard de-
scribed.
SEALED THE BILL WITH A KISS.
A Gay Dentist’s Finishing Touches were
Pleasant but Costly.
Unless the Geneva Times has been
misinformed a certain dentist of that
town has paid pretty dear for his whis-
tle. It says that a fair young lady
from Waterloo has been having consid.
erable dental work done at Geneva. It
is saidthat when the dentist had com-
pleted the job he pronounced the work
done in a. satisfactory manner and in or-
der to seal the statement in proper
:orm, according to his notion, planted a
kiss on the lips of the, young lady in
question.
The young lady, conscious of his
Waterloo, did not scream. She assumed
her most dignified air and, looking the
dentist squarely in the face, asked him
{or her bill. The dentist gallantly in-
formed her that it was $50:
“Very well,” as she turned to go.
"that has been liquidated. I have your
receipt in full.”
Thereupon she left his parlbrs. The
:Ioctor was dumbfounded. He was non-
piussed. It took him several days to
recover from the shock and to realize
that it was a fifty dollar kiss he gave to
:=. \Vaterloo young lady. It is said that
he will not send his bill to her parents
> but will charge the item to the profit
‘1 and loss account of his business.

"They warn’t in session.”

Afight between two Hungarians in
John Ungvary’s saloon, on Smith
street, S. N., Wednesday night, came
verynear resulting in a murder. As it
is, one Hun lies at home with three
serious stab wounds made by a stiletto
while his assailant has evaded the po-
lice and skipped to parts unknown.
Abr ut8 o’clock in the evening Bal-
lazs Berti entered Ungviry’s saloon
and among the crowd assembled he
recognized another Hungarian by the
name of Andrew Matisz. There has
been had blood between the two for
some'time owrng to both being in love
with the same woman.
As soon as Berti suv his rival he
made no delay in picking a quarrel.
Matisz was willing and in a few min-
utes both were in deadly combat. In
the scuffle that ensued Berti secured a
short iron bar, presumably from about
his person, and struck Matisza terrible
blow on the head felling him to the
floor. I ,
Before his rival could regain his feet
Berti drew his stiletto and savagely
plunged 'it into Matisz three times.
The first stroke struck Mzrtlsz 1n the
upper part of the left arm nearly sever-
ing the. muscles, the second went over
hisrshoulder and into his back while
the third cut a gash in the left forearm.
Berti instantly ‘fied after using the
knife while the injured man sank to
the floOr from the loss of blood.
Word was dispatched for Officer Ire-
land who quickly responded and sent
for Dr. Tito who had the wounded man
removed to his home where he sewed
up the wounds.
As scon as the wounded man was
cared for, Ofiicer Ireland'made a dilli-
gent search for Berti, but was unable
to find him, he, in all probability, hav-
ing taken the first train out of town,
and made his escape. '
The two wounds in Matisz’s arm are
not dangerous, but the one in the back
is a serious one. and should complica-
tions arise, may prove fatal. -

DEPEW’S UNFORTUNATE GIFT.
People Want Him to Endorse Brands of
Champagne.
Chauncey M, Depew is credited with
many gifts. but among those of which
little is said, though they are none the
less pronounced, is that of judging
champagne. Any one who drinks this
sparkling beverage knows whether he
likes it or not, but to be a judge of
champagne—well, that is different. If
Mr. Depew chose he could make a hand—
some income through this gift alone.
There is a. young woman in New
York who is interested in a certain
brand of champagne 'who heard that
Dr. Depew possessed the talent men-
tioned. She went to him and set forth
eloquently and at length how she could
gain $1,000 if he would say in writing
just half a dozen flattering words about
her brand.
- Mr. Depew listened with courtesy and
patience, and then broke into a hearty
laugh.
“Why, my dear young lady,” said he,
“at least 20 wine firms have offered me
from 810,000 to $20,000 each to endorse
certain brands—offered me in cash," too,
not compromising checks. If Iwent
into the testimonial business I could
make $100,000 ayear in cool cash. There
is nothing, from guns to garters, that I
do not have to he chary in giving my
opinion of even in private life.
“Some time ago, at a big public din-
ner, when the waiter started to fill my
glass I noticed the champagne was one
I especially disliked, so I asked him in
a voice that no single guest overheard,
if he had a certain wine to which I was
partial. f course he said yes, for no
good waiter ever acknowledges a lack,
and he straightaway notified the head
waiter, who sent messengers scurrying
broadcast to procure this special brand
for me.
“Finally it arrived, but next day I
paid the price, for in every hotel and
club in town the news had been carried
that I drank only that champagne,
which, ‘by the way, I have never touch-
ed since that night.
“N 0,,n0, my dear young lady, I dis-
like to refuse, but if I .indorsed any—
thing on earthto drink there are parents
who would not permit their sons and
daughters to travel on the New York
Central road, nor would I ever again be
invited to address the graduates of a fe—
male seminary.”

no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s
New Discovery as the results were almost
marvelous in the case of my wife. While
I was pastor of the Baptist Church at

with pheumonia, succeding La Grippe.
