Sensational Tales Unl Board. One evening last winter, when a party of statesmen, having laid aside tem- porarily the cares of islation, were ed at the Festivo gathercd at Chambeclin's, in Washing- ton, discussing a hot bird and a cold bird, Senator Jones of Nevada turned to Senator Voorh of Indiana and said: *Voorhees, did you ever hear of the sick man for whom Governor Nye wanted to send for a minister?” Voorhees said he had not. ““Well,” said Jones, “'it was while Nye was governor of Nevada in the early 60's. An old friend of his was down sick at Carson. Nye saw the end w. near, and showed his old friend ever attention possible, and tried to mitigat his sufferings. As the end approached, and it became evident that the sick man could last buta few hours longer, Nye said to hin **‘David, it is best you should know the truth. You are a very, sick man, and can hardly last but a little time longer. Are your affairs in a condition you would wish to leave them? If not, will be glad to do anything I can for you. s *{Oh, yes, they are all right.’ ‘““Would you’ not like me to write to your fricnds in the east? asked tho, governor., **No, not now. After it is all over “*Wouldu't you like me to call in a minister?’ asked Nye solemnly. “The rick man here maae a great effort, and succeeded in raising his wasted and worn frame to a sitting posture. Then looking earnestly at Nye he said in as strong tones of rebuke as his wasted condition would permit: “‘Why, Governor Nye? Why should ['want a minister? I never voted the democratic ticket in all my life,’ and he fell back dying, but with'a triumphant look on his face The assembled statesmen laughed, and Voorhees whispered something to the waiter. Then he turned to Jones and d: “Did T ever tell you about the reply y e an old democrat down in the ‘knot Indiana once made to Henry S. Lane Here the waiter returned, and after he had deposited on the table a fresh quart, Jones assured Voorhees that he had never heard of this retort. **Well,” said Voorhees, “Lane had a neighbor, an old farmer with but one cye, who was a staunch democrat. One day Lane said to him: Mr. Henderson, I have been puzzled for a long time to understand how so sensible a man as you are could be a democrat, but I understand it now. You have but one eye, and therefore can only sce one side, or hall as much as other people.’ *‘Mr. Lane,' replicd Henderson, ‘wo read in the good hook that when the eye is single the whole body is full of light,) Again the statesmen smiled, and it was Jones’ turn to whisper to the waiter, — VERNE'S DREAM. Submarine Boats Which Fultill the Proph- ecy of the Nautilus, A few weeks ago the Navy department opened proposals for constriieting a sub- marine boat, and the answers received were submitted to a board of naval ex- perts. The board has made a report, | says the Washington Post, in which they say that of all the plans submitted but'two appear to be promising of prac- tical vesults, These are what are known as the Hol- land boat and the Baker boat, and the board secks for opportunity to make further investigation into their merits, and to hear personully from the in. ventors, both of which "requests Secre- tary Herbert has granted.

RRBN S UNCLE SAM SLUMMI(NG, us Been a Frightfal Spread of the Morphine Habit, Unclo Sam has been exploring the *slums” in fifteen of the principal cities of the United States and has just finished his great sight-seeing spree. This is the first time in the history of the republic that Uncle Sam has visited the slums. But for twelve months he has been ‘doing” the notorious dives, dance halls, and opium joints in all cities from New York to San Francisco. The joint resolution passed by coo- s i year ago provided that prelim- v minations of the slums should be made in fifteen of the principal cities of the United States, the smallest being Cleveland, O, The cities to be investi- gated were New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. dianapolis, Cincinnati, New y San I'rancisco, Cleveland Pittsburg, Detroit, Kansas City and St. Paul. A special agent of the United States Department of Labor, Mr. O. A. Ber- nard, was assigned to the work of slum investigation, and it is he who has repre- sented Uncle Sam in personin this novel expedition. Mr. Bernard about to make his report at Washington, having just returned from San Francisco, the slums of that city having been the last inspected. Mr. Bernard said: *“The most strik- ing thing shown was the apparent fact of the tremondous sproad of the drug habit and the devastation it is causing among tens of thousunds of white people in the United States. It is no longer the criminal classes that recruit the siums, but the vietims of the cocaine and morphine and opium hab 3 investigationsin this direction showed conclusively that there is an immediate check necessary to be,put on the sale of these drugs. The law is not stringent enough us it stands now. and almost any one can get all of the drugs they desire. “These drugs by degrees bring their victims to the lowdst depths of depray- ity. Every physician in the land should at once refuse to use these drugs men- tioned except in the most urgent cases, and refuse to preseribe them after the emergency is over. Many of the cocaine and morphine fiends” I have questioned said it was through the he lessn of physicians that they first uired the habit, and once acquired it was impossible to shake off the demon. Morphine, cocaine and opium are the best feeders the slums have today. ——— Balloon at 3 and 8, Courtland Beach, Simple Remedics Are the Mest. “Don’t rush to the drug store buy a lot of the fancy lotions and metics when you contract your first case of sunburn at the seashore,” was the in- junction of a beautiful woman whose face showed but lingering traces of the glaring redness which had marked it only the day before, says the New York Herald. “Let all those In fumed but trashy mixtures alone.

This was the message flashed from the Boughton telephotos to the little crowd on the Bird island pier last night about 9 o'clock, savs the Buffalo Express. [t was read by nearly every one in the crowd who knew the Morse alphabet, and proved that Mr. C. V. Boughton has at lust solved the problem of signal- ing by means of lights. Telegraph op- erators—and they were almost as plenti- ful as the Canuda flies—pronounced the improved telephotos a great success and Mr. Boughton was kept very busy re- ceiving the congratulations of his friends, From Miles from the time of Christopher Colum- bus the method of communication be- tween ships at sea has changed but little, Columbus doubtless used lanterns in transmitting his messages ight: night John Panl Jones used recke read colors and their meanings by a compl i Admiral Farra- gut, near ater than the rev- olutionar still used rockets, and it was only a few years ago that a Frenchman introduced a system of si naling by means of electric lights. tem was based upon the Morse bet, but never proved much of a suceess. To Mr. C. V. Boughton of this city belongs the eredit of producing an in- strument almost as wonderful as the telegraph of B. F. Mor Last night the telephotos, upon which Mr. Bough- ton has been wogking for several years, was placed upor the roof of the car-seal factory at the corner of Seventh and Hudson strects and was operated by Mis: anford, who satin the oft of the building. The dots and dashes of bright light, produced by electric in descent Tights, could be distinetly by the witnesses on Bird-island pier about a mile away, and a letter contain- ing ninety words was sent in fifteen minutes. Mr. Boughton claims that fifty words a minute can be sent by u person famuliar with the keyboard, and of course it can be read as fast as it can be sent. But the most wonderful part of the exhibition last night was the fact that M C. L. Bullymore and Albert Holloway, sitting on the veranda of Mr. Bullymore's summer home at Point Abino, about 10 miles from the tele photos, read the signals with the great- est ease. Mr. Boughton has patented his inven- tion, not only here in the United States and Canada, but inseven other countri The telephotos will be exhibited befc the army and navy boards of the old world. Tt is hoped the United States will not let this American invention pass into general use in the navies of the other countries before she adopts it herself. All of the great steamship companies have been examining the in- vention and in a few years a person on a foreign-bound steamer will' be able to send a telegraphic message o a home- ward-bound steamship by means of Boughton's telephotos, sud thence to his friends at home S Balloon 3 and 8 o'clock today. e AR SAVED THE BANK. Sacks of Copper ¥ nies Calm u Financia Pan‘c. Old-timers tell the story how T..J. Kelley, a contractor of this city and now manager of the horse market on Grand between Fifth street and Mis- souri avenue, by a very clever r stopped a run on a bank and prevented its going to the wall way back in 1871, says the Kansas City Journal. At that time the Kansas City Savings associa- tion, now the National *Bank of Com- merce, was located at the southwest cor ner of Fourth and Delaware stry Mr Kelley was then secretary and cashier of the Corrigan Strect Railway company, and the company's account was kept at the bank. . The much-despised penny was not then in generul use here us now. Peo- ple were ashamed to pay-for any article with pennies, except, perhaps, postage stamps, and the old-fashioned ‘‘fure box” in the cars became a dumping ground for them. From $3 to # in pen- es would be found in the boxes by Mr. Kelley every day. He usually dumped them n sacks and stored them away in the company’s vault. . During the erisis of 71 the people beeame very much excited and llocked to the banks in droves to withdraw their deposits, Runs re made on nearly all the banks in the city and several e forced to suspend. One day a run | vas made upon the Kansas City Savings bank, and the people were lined up wait- ing their turns to reach the tellers, who ng out money by the, basket- n_a happy thought struck Mr, He went to the police station, 1 three policemen to guard his | rht sucks of coppers upon & wheelbarrow and took them down to the bank.
