and detectives, friends of the slain
man.
Tell of Struggle.
Detectives who were with Aughe at
the time he was shot, testified to the
circumstances of their entering the
drug store at Sixteenth and Williams
streets where the shooting occurred,
and of Aughe's struggle with Guze

testimony of detectives that he cried

to be evasive, lie even declined to
admit that he had killed any one until
he was shown Aughe's body. He ap
peared unmoved.

sician, testified that the bullet which
killed the detective entered below the

One Million Persons Hear Soprano
in Radio Concert, Is Estimate

Chicago, Feb. —Xot bo many
yearn ago a "vast" audience for a
singer who had attained prominence
consisted of something like 5,000 per
sons. It's a different story today,
though now that the radio is being
utilized so extensively by such artists.
A "vast" audience for radio perform
ers easily reaches the million mark.
That this Is a fact is borne out by
thousands of letters which Miss Flor
ence Macbeth, coloratura of the Chi
cago Civic Opera company, received
recently from radio fans, following
her rendition of several songs on a
Sunday evening program broadcast
from a Chicago station. This deluge
of mall contained letters of appre
ciation from persons In all walks of
life.
Miss Macbeth's efforts that eve
ning elicited a quick response from
Helen E. Vellor, of Huntington, Ixing
Island, which told of the ‘‘remark
able clearness” with which the so
prano's voice was carried by the ether
waves. B. G. Cassett, of San Jose,
Cal., wrote that he “got” Miss Mac
beth's concert "perfectly.”
Fifty per cent of the letters re
ceived referred to Miss Macbeth,
well-known coloratura soprano, as
“the girl with the radio voice."
Hundreds of those who “penned”
their thanks to Miss Macbeth were
elderly persons who eald the radio
and the earnestness of those who do
their ,!stuff” for the benefit of this
vast Invisible audience had given
them a new outlook upon life.

Worcester (Mass.) Gazette of

C. A. Westerfleld. 3116 Mason
street, owns a bound volume of old
weekly newspapers, printed at Wor
cester, Mass., during 1789 to 1792, un
der the caption of "Thomas' Massa
chusetts Spy, or The Worcester Ga
zette.”
This news medium was published
In the days of George Washington,
John Hancock and other notable men,
when this nation was being cradled.
The piMisher was Isaiah Thomas,
who made himself known as "print
er, bookseller and stationer.” "The
liberty of the press is essential to the
security of freedom” was a slogan on
the front page of the paper.
This weekly contained only four
pages of four columns each. There
was little attempt at ornamentation
and the headlines were extremely
modest, compared with modern jour
nalism.
“G. Washington.’*
Communications from the president
appearing in the Gazette, were signed
"O. Washington." John Hancock was
governor and commander-in-chief of
Massachusetts. Alexander Hamilton
was secretary of the treasury. In one
of his reports, Secretary Hamilton
estimated that $51,500 would cover all
expenses of the president, vice presi
dent. chief justice and associate
judges for the year 1792. The esti
mate for the war department for that
year was $532,449.76.
Lotteries were authorized and even
advertised. One was known as the
Lancaster and another as the State
lottery. In one advertisement an
nouncement was made that 6,000
tickets would be sold at $4 each and
that 3,008 prizes would be awarded,
the highest prize to be $2,000.
A news dispatch from London
stated that the English metropolis
contained 1,000,000 population and
maintained 6.975 ale houses, 447 tav
erns, 207 Inns and eight public or free
schools. Capt. Paul Allen raised the
largest hog in Providence.

The action of southern democrats
In demanding $25,000,000 additional

other Incident of practical politics.
As for boll weevil raising the lower
regions with the cotton growers, as
stated by Senator Pat Harrison, In
supporting the $25,000,000 additional
appropriation, a southern planter
told the senate agricultural commit
tee this week that the boll weevil was
a Godsend for the cotton growers.
Otherwise, he asserted, the overpro
duction of cotton would have been so
great that cotton growers would be
getting nezt to nothing for their crop.

Franklin’s Death.
The following account of the death
of Dr. Benjamin Franklin appears in
the issue of May 6, 1790, under Phila
delphia date line:
Philadelphia, April 21.—On Satur
day night last departed this life, in
the 86th year of his age, Dr. Ben
jamin Franklin of this city. We are
favored with the following short ac
count of Dr. Franklin’s last illness,
by his attending physician:
The stone, with which he had beep
afflicted for several years, had for
the last 12 months confined him
chiefly to his bed; and during the
extreme painful paroxysms, he was
obliged to take large doses of lau
danum to mitigate his tortures—still,
in the Intervals of pain, he not only
amused himself with reading and con
versing cheerfully with his family
and a few friends, who visited him,
but was often employed in doing
business of a public as,well as private
nature, with various persons, who
waited on him for that purpose; and
in every instance displayed, not only
that readiness and disposition of do
ing good, which was the distinguish
ing characteristic of his life, but the
fullest and clearest possession of his
uncommon mental abilities; and not
unfrequently indulged himself in
those jeux d’esprit and entertaining
anecdotes which were the delight of
all who heard him.

Hear the Voice
of the Multitude
Since the day that Franklin flew
his kite and published his news
paper there have been almost un
believable developments, both in
electricity and in newspapers. The
voice of the people is now carried
far and wide by both mediums,
although the least universal of the
two so far is “Radio.” Most re
markable in newspaper develop
ment are the Want Ads. They were
started by the public and with the
good will of the public behind them
have grown to be one of the great
est modem conveniences, for they
are the public’s own medium for
the selling of unused articles, rent
ing houses and rooms, securing em
ployment, etc. Remember, the in
convenient days of Franklin, show
your appreciation and good busi
ness sense. When you buy—first
