WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—News of the death of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell at his summer place and Iabora- tories at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, came as a shock to the selentist's many friends in Washington, although they knew he had been falling for several months. At a birthday luncheon some months ago, Dr. Bell's friends were surprised to see that he had become feeble from age during the last year and that his remarkable vigor wax fast disappearing.

Means of communication had been a jobby in the Bell family long be fore the inventor of the telephone was born, Two generations back, Alex ander Bell hecame noted for invent- ing ® system for overcoming stam- mering speech, while his son Alexan- der Melville Boll, father of the inven tor of the telephone, perfected a sys. tem of visible speech With this heritage, the son, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, under- took simitar experiments while sti!] a lad, He constructed an artificial skull of gutta percha and Indian rub ber that would pronounce several words in weird tone when blown into by s hand bellows. At the age of 18 he became, like his father, a teacher of elocution, and an Instructor of deat mutes. Belt reached a crisis in his life at the age of 22, when he was threatened with tuberculosis. The white piague caused the death of his two brothers and the Bell family migrated to Brantford, Canada. A meeting at that time with Sir Charles Wheatstone, the English tn- ventor of the telegraph, fired tho young elocutionist with ambition to invent a musical, or multiple, tele- graph, which eventually turned out to be a telephone. His father while giving a lecture tn Boston, proudiy mentioned the son's success in teaching London deaf mutes. This led the Bosto) Board o7 Bdueation. to offer the youhg Bell $500 to introduce his system in the newly opened school for deaf mutes. He was then 24 years old, and in- stantly became the educational sensa. tion of the day. He was appointed a professor in Boston untversity, and opened his instantly successful “School of Vocal Physiology.” But teaching interfered with his In venting, and he soon gave up all but two pupils. One of these was Mabel Hubbard, of a wealthy’ famly. She had lost her hearing and speech in an attack of scarlet fever while a baby. It was she who later became Bell's wife. Bell spent the following three years in night work in a cellar in Salem, Mass. His money needs were met by ardiner G. Hubbard, his future ather-in-law, and Thomas Sanders, the owner of the cellar. As he worked he began to see the possibility of con veying speech over an electrically charged wire—the telephone. Hoe used a dead man's ear for a transmitter. "It I can make a deaf mute talk,” Bell had declared, “I can make iron talk.” His first success came while testing his instruments in hs new quarters in Boston. Thomas A. Watson, Bell's assistant, had struck a clock spring at one end of the wire and Bell was electrified to hear the sound in an- other room. For 40 weeks the instru. ment struggled as it were for human speech. Then on March 10, 1876, Watson became almost insane with joy when he heard over the wire Bell's voice saying: “Mr. Watson, come | you.” | On his 29th birthday, Bell recetved |his patent.

A lengthy discussion upon a suitable time allottment for the performing of these final duties followed, and the opinions of a number of representa. tives of the bureau of mines, present at the time, taken into consideration an to the ptoper steps necessary in the care, disposition, and condition of the well O'Donnell was presented with a form memorandum ordering the pull ing f tools and the complete “shut- down” of the rig. Immediately com- plying with the federal order, the botlers were turned off and the men left the field. Movable tools were removed in a large truck brought for the purpose, and a complete inventory was taken and recorded in books of the Mutual Of! company. The government seal was Placed upon the well by Capt. Shuler, and the rig pronounced closed for all fur- ther operations. By noon every man had left the field, and all but station ary tools, heavy pipe and well rigging had been removed. When asked the exact Teading of his orders by a representative of The Tribune, Capt. Shuler replied that his instructions as given by Secretary Roosevelt had been. verbal and confi- dential, but had been carried out to the letter by the Mutual.
