TRIUMPHED.
hi
Hai'Py SHieino Hit Upon
sourecrnl Lineman,
by IU-
Away back nt tho time when an cloc
trlc lump was still a thing of mystery
and n big card In advertising, it certain
magnate in a southern city, who wns
about to entertain his frluuds nt n largo
ball, decided that seven or eight nre
lamps in his lttuiso would effectively
add to tho splendor of tluf scene. Ho
intervleweel tho manager of tho local
company, who made the condition that
ho should secure tho right of way from
tho station to his houso (a tltstanco of
about mio mile and three-quarters) on
tho poles of a certain telegraph com
pany. This was successfully negotiated,
and tho boss lineman was put In eliargo
of the Installation with the general in
structions that thoso lights had to bo
going by six o'clock in tho cvenlhg,
Jko volenti, and by seven o'clock whether
or no.
Like a good general, Dennis began by
installing his lamps; he had them prop
erly hung, wired and trimmed, and loft
tho ends of the circuit ontsldo ono of
the windows so that his men would not
bo in tho way or find others in their
way us the tiuus for the htnrtlng drew
near. Ho then proccedetl to run tho
wire from the station to tho house, nnd
nt 6:30 had run one lino complete nhd
wns within a mile with the other when
his wire gave out. Sending to tho sta
tion for another reel ho was ctmfrontcA
with the fact that tho company had' ab
solutely none in its store room. Even
nil tho scrap hnd been Hold but a week
before, leaving not u hundred yards ot
wire available, Tho telephone was in
Immediate requisition and every ono In
town likely to havo copper wire was
callcd'up, among others tho writer, then
engaged in installing n largo isolated1
plant, but who was himself in the samo I
ux. 4nu town was nuncnug irou.?a,
wire fatnlno from which there was no
relief. It must bo remembered that
copper wire of any kind wns not then a
commodity so easily obtained as it Is
now.
I Dennis found himself in trouble, und
when 0:30 nrrived and thero waB no
copper wiro he thought that his name
was truly "Dennis" if ho could not get
out of Uio hole somehow, but what with
tho magnate howling for the lights at
one end of the line, and the superinten
dent at tho other end howling for tho
cldsing of tho circuit, ho wns almost in
despair. It wns dusk by this time, and
with a brilliant inspiration ami tltnt reck
less disregurd of other peoplo's rights
which forms such a pleasing feature in
the average lineman's character, Dennis
calmly proceeded to cut six or eight of
the telegraph wires at tho point where
his copper had given out; theso ho
bunched together on ono end of his
line, then ho hustled up to the mag
nate's house, and cutting the samo six
or eight wires proceeded to connoct
,ihem -up with what llttlo scrap ha
had to the end of tho house-line. Ho
then cheerfully telephoned to tho sta
tion to "go ahead." Tho lights camo
up in groat shape and every ono was do
ligbtcd. Whon tho ball was over nt 4 o'clock In
tho morning, Dennis, with ono trusty
I henchman sworn to secrecy, proceeded
hastily to splice up the wires which hod
been cut. Half an hour later, with the
calmness born of conscious rectitude
and duty done, ho watched the unhappy
linemen of tho telegraph company wun
derlng up the street with their eyes
turnod hcavonwnrd to discover tho
trouble on tho "Associated Press" and
several "local" lines. Electricity.

Mr. Suburb Good morning, Mr. De

A PHOFITABLE TALK.,
Our Spoolol Itoportor Soouros tho
Facta.
ltd Determined! to Thoroughly Investl
gate n, Subject That Js Causing
Much Comment, nml llo
Mas Succeeded.
tN. Y. Sun.
Two da, s ago ono of tho most( prominent
professional mon la New York published n
letter so outspoken, so unttHttnl as to cntiso
extensive talk and awaken lnuoh comment.
Yesterday I Interviewed the gentleman ns
to tho contents of tho, lottar, utid ho fully
confirmed It In every respect Ho not only
did this but lie nlso mentioned a number ot
unusual cases which Imd como under his
observation In which llttlo less than a mlra
olo lind boon performed.
So Important linn tho cnllro subject bo
como that 1 determined toliiventtgiiU) it to
tho bottom, nnd accordingly called upon Mr,
Albert G. Kavcs, tho prominent costutner
at No. 63 East Twelfth street, tho pcntlo
inau mentioned In my interview with tlio
doctor yostorilny. Mr. Knvus has in nil o
quite n name. A complete knowledge of his
tory, an npprcclntluii ot nrt and reliability
aro essential In his profession.
"Mr. Eaves," I said, "I learn that jour
wlfolmslinduinoBtunuBunl experience.; aro
yon willing to ilesorlbo Itl"
Tlio gontlcinnti thought a moment and nn
expression of pleasure passed over his face.
"When I think," ho said, "of what my wifu
oaco passed through nml tho condition slio
Is In to-day, I cannot but fool gratitude.
Nearly three yoars ago alio was nt tho point
of dcatli.', You can undorstunit how sick
tho was vvlinti 1 say slio was totally blind
slid lay Inn state of unconsciousness. Tlireo
doctors attended hor ond allagiucdtiat Jiur
death was only u question of hours, pcrhapi
"minutes."
"May I ask what tho doctors called her
troublol"
' "Wraomla nnd puerperal convulsions, so
you cau Imnglao how badly alio must liuve
been. At last ono doctor (it was Dr. 11. A.
Gunn) said that as sho was still nblo to
swallow ono moro attempt might bo mailo
and a modlclno was accordingly given her.
Bho scorned to Improve at oiice; In a few
dn.vs hor 6lglit was restored. '1 havo had a
long, loti( sleep,1 sho said, upon recovering
consclousnoss, and I nm rejoiced to say
that sho was restored to perfect health
wholly through tlio uso of Warner's Bafo
Curo, which was tho rcraeily wo adminis
tered when, sho was past all conscious
ness." I looked at Mr. Evans ns ho said this. Ills
faco was boamlng with satisfaction. Ho
continued i
"Tho physicians told us, after my wifo's
recovery, that she could never endure child
birth, and yot we havo a lino hoy nearly a
year old, and do not know what sick
ness Is. I attribute it all to tlio wonderful
power of Warner's Safo Curo. Why, my
sister, who resides in Vlrglplo, was, a
while ugo, afflicted precisely ns my wife hod
been. I at once advised her to uo this
'samo great remedy; It cured her promptly."
"You find that it Is specially adapted for
women, do you I" 1 Inquired.
"By no menus, I havo known It to bo
wonderful In its power In tho enso of gen
tlemen to whom I have recommended It. I
speak from my experience entirely, and you
should not bo surprised that I am so tlrm a
believer la this dlsoovcry, which lias dono
so much for mo."
I was not surprised. I saw by ovary
word, by every look, that Mr. Eaves meant
