"When this is done all Republican

whether the names of such electors

“This is very simple and solves the
whole difficulty in a way which ought

“IF THEY DON'T TELL, I WILL”
W. R. HEARST ASKS FOR TRUTH
IN ARCHBOLD CASE.
In Cablegram, Editor Hints Docu-
ments in His Possession May
be Made Public.
Chicago, Aug. 27.— W. it. Hearst,
who is In London, cabled to his
American newspapers a statement re-
garding the Archbold letters and the
Penrose $2.">.t)00 letter of credit. He
suggests to all concerned that they i
"tell the whole truth, particularly j
when they can be confidently assured j
that if they do not I will.” In his
cablegram Mr. Hearst says in part:
"I have read In the foreign papersj
accounts of the explanation that Sen- j
ator Penrose has given of his receipt j
of a certificate of deposit of $2o.0Q0
from the Standard Oil Company. Sen-
ator Penrose’s explanation is not
quite accurate. His statement is not
altogether truthful. He is in part
saying what is true and in part say-
ing what is false. I have the docu- j
ments to prove my assertion.
“Senator Penrose should take warn-
ing of the fate of Senator Forakeri
and the predicament of that gentle- ■
man when he attempted to explain
falsely the reason for which his cer-
tificates of deposit from Mr. Arch-
bold were received.
"I advise Senator Penrose, there-
fore, to adhere to the exact facts and
to speak the whole truth. Mr. Arch-
bold has told part of the truth, but
not all of it. Let him tell all of it
and produce the interesting docu-
ments that incumber his files.
“Mr. Roosevelt can boast of a be-
lated honesty, so why not be com-.
I-Ietely frank with the public and tell
them the whole truth? Why should
not Senator Penrose and Mr. An h
bold and Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Sib-
ley all tell the truth, particularly
when they can be so confidently aS-
suiod that if they do not, I will?"

MUSIC BY COMPRESSED AIR
Auxetophone Invented to Play Vio-
loncello Producing Rich Tone of
Greater Volume
The auxetophone is the thing that
plays a violoncello by compressed air.
It is the Invention of C. A. Parsons of
turbine fame, and is an attachment
for musical instruments whereby the
tone of the latter is appreciably in-
creased by means of a current of com-
pressed air.
It is a comb or multiple reed valve
of aluminum, which is so hinged that
each tooth of the comb can vibrate at
a variable distance from a corres-
ponding slot in a little box, to which
compresed air is supplied at about
five pounds pressure. The farther
away the teeth are from the slots the
greater the flow of air, and vice versa.
The flow of air is controlled by a
valve, and when caused to vibrate, the
air transmits corresponding sound
waves into the trumpet.
When the auxetophone is applied
to the cello or any other stringed in-
I nfantile Paralysis
In an address at the Harvard Med-
ical school on "Infantile Paralysis.”
Dr R W. Lovett said that, while it
was not yet certain bow the germs of
the disease were communicated to
healthy children, it was a fact that
birds and domestic animals had been
found in a large proportion of the
families where infantile paralysis had
occurred, and there was good reason
for believing that such pets in the
house were responsible sometimes for
the appearance of the disease.
strument the valve is connected by a
rod of aluminum with the bridge of
the instrument. Thus the valve is
caused to vibrate in accord with the
characteristic tone of the instrument.
The sound issuing from the trumpet,
though in many respects identical
with that of the instrument Itself, is
at the same time richer in character
and greater in volume.
At a recent conecrt in London ons
of the program features was a vio-
loncello solo rendered In conjunction
with the auxetophone. At the concert
the possibilities of the invention were
strikingly evidenced. The tone of the
instrument was appreciably fuller,
richer and stronger. When the auxeto-
phone was attached the harmonies
were more clearly defined than is pos-
sible without the attachment. The
fortissimo passages of the tones had
a solid, well rounded ring of great
xiolume. In the pianissimo passages
the expression was enhanced by a
softness and distinct clearness of
tone.
“Sheep-Nose” Cars
An interesting type of care Is in use
ion the electric railroad running from
Indianapolis to Toledo. This car is
I Piovided with a parabolic front end.
! commonly called a "sheep-nose.” The”
object of this arrangement Is to re-
duce wind resistance when the cars
are running at high speed, also to
make it easier for the car to force Its
way through snow drifts. The frame
of the c»r is very strongly built, and
.is arranged to carry a steel sheathed
.pilot which serves as a snow plow.

SYMPATHY, BUT NO APOLOGY
Lawyer’s Tart Remarks Not Greatly
Softened by His Rejoinder
When "Called Down.”
Andrew Lipscomb, who practices
law before the courts of Maryland,
was trying his first case before a.
judge named M errick. Lipscomb, wish-
ing to impress the judge, was, In the
language of the bar, right lippy in his
remarks to the eminent gentleman.
Finally. Merrick lost patience and ex-
claimed :
“Sit down! Sit down, sir! If you
don’t sit down I’ll fine you for con-
tempt of court.”
Lipscomb sat down, but turned to a
young lawyer beside him, and re-
marked, in an undertone;
“That’s the crustiest, most opinion-
ated old judge I ever saw. I’ll show
him where he gets off. He's an old
fool.”
“If you talk like that, I’ll beat you
up!” replied the young lawyer. “He’s
my father!”
“How sad!” said Lipscomb, smooth-
ly. "How sad.”—Popular Magazine.
To Operate Canal by Electricity.
The Panama canal will be operated
almost exclusively by electric power.
Approximately seven per cent, of the-
minimum water supply will be di-
verted for hydro-electric development,
and this will be the excess which la
not required for lockages, evaporation,
and leakage. The hydro-electric sta-
tion will be located adjacent to the
north wall of the Gatun spillway and
the plant will have a capacity of 6,000
kilowatts. The average hydraulic head
throughout the year will be about 75-
feet.
An Oversight.
“There has certainly been a serious
miscalculation about this year.”
“What’s that?”
“So many dreadful things are hap-
pening, and they forgot all about pre-
saging them by a comet.”

THIRTEEN YEARS
Unlucky Number for Dakota Woman.
The question whether the number
"13” Is really more unlucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Dak. woman, after thirteen,
years of misery from drinking coffee,
found a way to break the “unlucky
spell.” Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because It contains caffeine, th*
drug in coffee. She writes:
“For thirteen years I have been a.
nervous wreck from drinking coffee.
My liver, stomach, heart—in fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by it.
“Last year I was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally it dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble.
Then I began using Postum instead of
coffee, but with little faith, as my
mind was in such a condition that I
hardly knew what to do next.
“Extreme nervousnes and failing
eyesight caused me to lose all courage.
In about two weeks after I quit coffee
and began to use Postum I was able
to read and my head felt clear. I am
Improving all the time and I will be a
strong, well woman yet.
‘ I have fooled more than one person
with a delicious cup of Postum. Mrs.
S. wanted tp know where I bought my
I flue coffee. I told her my grocer had
It and when she found out it was Pos-
tum she has used It ever since, and
her nerves are building up fine.
My brain is strong, my nerves
steady, my appetite good, and best of
all, I enjoy such sound, pleasant sleep.”
