Wants to Be Agreeable with Every- one, But Scientifie Bent Iater- feres—Reeog nized by Princes and Savants, One of the best friends of Marconi, the youthful Italian inventor, recent- ly called him a unsocial indi- j Vidual. The observation is interest- ing, but it is not quite true. Mar- coni is not social in the sense of be- ing a devotee of pink teas, recep- tions and the like, but he is the sort of man who makes a good compan- ion to his intimates who know how to keep within the range of his in- terests. And his’ range of interests is not limited, by any means. There are few subjects in the line of physical science or invention which he has not studied, and he is acquainted with the work of many inventors in other subjects. He plays the piano fairly well, having studied under a master for several years of his child- hood. He is an all-round athlete. He speaks several languages. Now, a man does not have to be all of these things in order to be a suc- !cessful inventor of teleg- raphy. He is a great man in more Ways than one. The fact is, says the Washington Star, Marconi r most wireless ly wants to be so- ciable towa everyone, but his sci- entific side does not allow him to carry out his inclinations. “[ should like to go away from all the work and wor t ple he said one day, nt people for a month or so,” but I know that I should no sooner be away from my work than I i that I ought to be back at it that I was wasting my time. why I would think and That's ae | ocean begin to eannot take a re: | work as hard on an I deo when I'm at | perimental stations. ; as one of my But I fun out of ex- guess I my work | have as much { SY hip} Qs ih ls SS iy ‘| GUGLIELMO MARCONI (The Young Itz the Wire- n InveNtor of Telegraph.) as most people do out of their s cial diversions.” Marconi likes American women, and, judging from the scores of in- vitations which he has received since his return to this country from lead- ing society women of New York and other cities American women Lim. He is essentially habits. He is an aristocrat of | a man of simple the common people, and, although he has than he he has never changed always had more money cared to spend, his style of living. He lives well, en- jeys a good dinner, drinks a little’ wine and occasionally smokes a cigarette. The most important thing in the world to him is his work; the affection he for any If he had his own way he would live a quiet greatest has person is for his mother life in some country place where he The glare of publicity has been on him so long that it is little wonder that , he wearies of the attention, no mat- ter how kindly meant it may all be To strangers, Marconi is a curious mixture of reserve, diffi- dence and indifference, if such a mix- ture of terms may be taken at one breath. He caras little for the praise of men, for the sake of the honeyed words themselves. He does care for | the good opinions of the men who re- ally understand his work and for the recognition of the leading men of | the world. per reporters or lion hunters. modesty, outlook on life and his work was | and he replied: “I feel that I must do the work that I am in, and that nothing shall | stop me. When the work wins the commendation of those who under- | stand it I am pleased. The one thing I do like about the success which I | have attained is that it has brought me into close touch with the great- est living men of the world. That \ 4s worth something.” In that remark Marconi revealed all of the social ambition he has. He wants to know the leading men lof the world, and for a man not yet 2S years of age one must admit lhe has made a good beginning. He \4s intimately acquainted with the king and queen of Italy, with King Edward VII. of England and with many of the royal family. The king | of the Belgians is an acquaintance and scores of princes, dukes, counts, lords and knights are proud to claim this young man as their friend. Lord Kelvin, one of England’s most dis- tinguished scientists, takes the high- est interest in Marconi’s work. eee ee nd stay among | even | voyage | He was asked one day what his j : | SHE RAISED THE HATCHET. YHE | PULLED PATRON’S LEG. Much to the Horror of the Talkative Shoe Salesman the Member ‘ame OF, John Diehl, of Guttenberg, N. J., has a wooden leg, but the artificial foot receives just as good treatment as its mate. As a matter of fact, States the New York Tribune, Diehl rather prefers the wooden leg to the other, for, as he sa “I picked jout the wooden one myself and it’s &@ peach.” Such an excellent member of so- ciety is Diehl’s wooden leg that its owner is able to walk with scarcely a perceptible limp. Consequently, when he walked into a shoestore at “GREAT G-G-G-GOODNESS!"" Union Hill, N. J., and asked for a jing unusual about his appearance. It will be apparent from what fol- lows that Diehl is | remarkably fine sense of humor. Said | he to the obliging clerk: “Gimme a pair o’ button shoes.” While the clerk was getting down | the goods Dieh! unfastened his | wooden leg and prepared himself for ; the merry jest that was to follow. The clerk had some difficulty in get- ting the worn-out shoe off the hick- ‘elerk, ple: With this he bent his back so successfully that he car- | ried away foot, leg and all | and landed on his back into the bar- gain. antly. shoe, saw what he had done he was over- whelmed with horror. “Great g-g-g-goodness!” he gasped. '“] didn’t m-m-mean to do it.” The genial Mr. Diehl was purple in the face, while a negro porter who had stood by started on the run for an ambulance. As soon as Diehl could spare time from the holding of his sides he remarked to the crest- fallen clerk: “That's all right, young feller, but y’ want to be careful how you start to pull off my leg.” Diehl got his shoes at a rate that | he himself admitted was “real rea sonable.” GIRL KILLS A WOLF. Armed with a Hatchet, She Ap- proached the Snarling Beast and Despatched It, Miss Ethel Hoover, a young lady liv- | ing at Leola, S. D., had an exciting ad- | venture with a large gray wolf and | proved herself a heroine. | Gray wolves are nuineroug on | great cattle ranges west of the Mis- the souri river, and they are noted for their fierceness. The gray wolf in question evidently had strayed from | its accustomed haunts by crossing the Missouri river on the ice. It appeared the other morning in the dooryard of the house where Miss Hoover resides and fiercely attacked a large shepherd dog. The animals engaged in a life and death struggle and their snarling and snapping were enough to affect the nerves of evena man. Finally the dog succeeded in getting somewhat the better of its an- tagonist. ‘ At this juncture Miss Hoover, in- stead of fleeing to the attic or cellar for safety, appeared on the scene. She was armed with a hatchet and, ap- proaching close to where the dog and wolf were battling for life, she raised the hatchet and dealt the wolf such a blow that it was killed instantly. 1 Colored Mayor.

Payne, the new post- master general, is a remarkable type of the modern political leader who dominates by the same kind of genius which builds vast fortunes. A sound eapacity for organization; a shrewd judgment of men; an imperturbable mentality which accomplishes its pur- poses by means of intellectual instead of emotional processes—these are felt to be the principal characteristics of the man who is spoken of among the party leaders as the “political mem- ber” of President Roosevelt's cabinet. No trait of Mr. Payne's character is more conspicuous than his political HON. HENRY C. PAYNE (Postmaster General of the United States and Party Leader.) 3 Among newspaper men he is held to be a political prophet with- out a peer. The manner in which his reputation was earned is decidedly in- teresting. In the campaign of 1896 Mr. Payne declined to give out any estimates until a fortnight before ,election. Then the reporters were called into his room at national repub- and he read from a slip of paper a list of states which, lican headquarters, in his opinion, would give their elec- ' toral Mr. McKinley. Mr Payne’s estimate was printed in the newspapers of the west, and when the returns came in it was found that he had made a mistake in regard to only one state. There is, however, another side to , his nature known only to his most in- timate friends. ‘ s the Phila- delphia Saturday Evenin ost, is his devotion to his wife, who has but re- votes for cently escaped from a period of iv validism which extended over many years. For much of that time she was unable to leave her room and suffered the most intense agony. To lessen her pain and bring into her life gleams of brightness have formed the dominant purpose of his life. His devotion to her has been of a rarely tender and untiring kind. PRINCE ADALBERT.

It is not likely that the of- ficers will accept many invitations during their visit, although it is pos- sible that they will visit Washington. In that case Prince Adalbert will be presented to President Roosevelt by the German ambassador. The Char- lotte is one of a fleet of training ves- intained by the German navy. She is a similar vessel to the Moltke, which recently visited country. Dog Breaks Man’s Leg. David L. was the Black, of Middletown, victim of a peculiar ac cident.

The courtship and wedding has ben conducted under the direction of a band of guardian spirits numbering ten, and the cere- mony was performed at the same time JUST AFTER THE CEREMONY. In the spirit world, the duties of a cler- gyman being assumed by the spirit of a Mrs. Wilson, who officiated through the organism of a medium, she con- ducting the ceremony as a minister would, only in different words. Mr. Comstock is now engaged in the work of materialization and trumpet bearing around the room and singing [hymns by a concentration of spirit forces. “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” was sung at the ceremony, while the medium was entranced. Mr. Comstock was an Englishman by birth, and a chemist, and his spirit bride says that this is why he is a fine subject for materiali- zation, chemists being particularly susceptible to that work through good mediums.
