j "You arc now out of the Western
'Union , I believe. General ? ' , ' said a re
porter of The 'Detroit Free Press to
Gen. Anson Stager.
'I ' am still a director in the compa
ny , - but hold , nb. otheivoffico/ havo"
long wanted to get out , but never saw
an opportunity before. When the con
solidation came I saw 'my opportunity.
The truth is the telegraph grew up so
fast from * a3saentiticVt6y- great ,
world-wide business ( jthatofe „ were
caught fast and held to it"
'Tour experience , General , has
been a most remarkable one ; nnd ,
upeakitig of , thc growth of .telegraphy ,
the discovcry of jeading .by"sound
must liave been quite a development. "
" "Yes , " said the general , as he re
lighted his cigar and reflectively gazed
Lat the smoke , "it was a good step for
ward. I was ono of the original Morse
operators. "Formerly , you may * e-
meniber , wo had registers and narrow
strips of paper like tapes wound around
them. As the weights pulled the tape
down past the instrument , the key
marks of the Morse alphabet would be
indented , and from thosG indentntioiis
the .operators read the messageabnthe.
tape."Rather
"Rather slow and tedious , and com
plicated with machinery. "
"I was the first telegraph operator
at Pittsburg " continued ' 'Gen. _ Stager.
-vas"early ! in" 1847.rtlfc ; wires then
strctchedaeross the Alleghenies. Quite
a wonderful accomplishment in its
way. But we didn't do much busi-
Jiess in thoao days. In fact half the
work of the office was showing strang
ers how the instruments worked. They
would come in , gaze around- , , express
their w6hder and ask thb most singu
lar questions. Mahya-tiiiio have I
called on Philadelphia to tell how the
weather was for the information of
visitors. They would go into raptures
at hearing that the thermometer stood
so thigh or so low , or it was windy
rainy or clear.
- "Proliably 'that was the original
germ of th'e Weather "Bureau ? "
' " "I rememljcr , " said the general
meditatively , "that ono 'day my little
Office was filled with a bevy of the
first ladies , led by Mrs. McKay , a
beautiful .woman , wife of the leading
bookseller of Pittsburgh. For their
gratification I asked Philadelphia the
usual question- . . The reply cume
"ticking back , and - within "pencil , .
wrpte on the margin of the tape be
side eacli Morse character the com-
'luon alphabetical equiv.al iit. In that
.way , 'of' SourSe , theyS&uid1'spoil out
iortthcnisclvcs the message , and they
were greatly doliglited. with the per
formance. Mrs : 'McKay took , up th
lape , weighted it in her hands and
said : ' .Now you couldn't send any
wider or heavier paper over the wires ,
could .you ? " Everybody laughed -at
this view of it. She.had an.idea the
tape stretched over the mountains
from Philadelphia. "
"I think , " said Gen. Stager , "that
I was about the first to read'mossages
.by sound. Certainly I had 'so' " read
'them before I knew of anyone else
doing it. Erastus Brooks , just -abputr
that time , canto' to Pittsburgh and
bought out The Gazette. It was n
very responsible duty to collect Iho
telegraphic dispatches , and the chief
editor used to come himself to my
office for that purpose. The markets
weru bent in cipher. One day my
egister broke down while Brooks
as waiting for the report. A steamer
adjust landed in New York aud the
ews was important. .But tlip register :
us in such a state that patching
ouldn't do. Brooks was in despair.
Tow the office call of a telegraph , fita-
ionis easilylearned. Youhavo'DE'for
ustance , for Detroit ; 'BU' foi Butfa-
i and 'H' for Cleveland-the , C's
eiiuj taken up somewhere else on the
mo. The constant reiteration of DE ,
DE , or BU , BU , or whatever the of-
ce call is , makes it familiar and as
-asily recognized as the sound of a
nan's name. The very boys learn iii
liort order. Of course in those days ,
ust as now , our office calls Verb irec-
igmzablo to the ear. It was with this
n mind that I said to Brooks : "Wait
a minute and I'll try .another plan' I
ixplained matters to the operator at
ho other end , asked him to go slow ,
ind between my knowledge of the ci
ther and the good-natured repetitions
if each link of it by my down east friend ,
. ' managed to got the whole of the
narket report. It came slow , but
came in time. Brobksjeft a delighted
"
"an-
"anNow ; , General , that's a historical
'act ' worth noting. "
"I make-no claims"continuedGen. ,
Stager , ' 'but I'll tell you my own ex-
Hjrience. It was always a ' question
imong us whether Mr. Barnes of Gov.
Cornell was the first to read'and send
> y sound. Some say it was Barnes ,
lome Cornell.1'
"Tho present Governor of New
York ? "
"The very KUDO-Governor Cornell
was an old-time telegraph operator. "
"Did the new improvement take ? ' '
"On the contrary"said the general ,
'the officers fought against it. Every
commercial message they said must bo
.read from the tajies. They insisted

whereupon the man grew communi
cative. Ho know all about the rob
bery , and proceeded to narrate wha
proved an interesting chapter of an
cient criminal history.
"I was telling about Petroloun
Centre in 1806 , " said ho , "and used
to see 'Old Benninghoff , ' as everybody
called him , every few days. Ho was
an ignorant , stupid old Dutchman ,
who had lived in a miserable hut on
iis little farm , two miles from thi
Centre , on the side of ahill , for years
with his wife and son and daughter.
They were poverty-stricken , lik
everybody else in that part of the
world , and never knew what it was to
lave a dollar. When the oil excito-
nent broke out , the country was
flooded with men and money , and as
) ld Benninghoff was right

Ic got a royalty on every barrel of oil
hat came from his place and before
10 had time to turn around the money
MJgan pouring in on him. It made
iim the most miserable man in the
world. He was afraid to trust the
money in the kinks , and when it got
oo bulky to carry around on his per-
on , ho took to burying it in out-of-
the-way places. Thnt , too , failed to
trove satisfactory , and the old
ellow hit on a brilliant
idea. Ho bought two ponderous
safes with barn-door locks , and took
hem to his cabin. Then ho dug up
iis treasure , put -it in the safes , and
ured two men to s'tand. guard night
nd day. The old chap's freak was
lie talk of the country , and a thou-
and stories were told about him.
dennwhilo the money kept piling up ,
ntil he had got togethernearlySSOO-
00 in two safes. Riches made little
hango in his style of living. Ho had
no more use for it than a Fiji islander.
When his income was $2,000 a day
rom the ivells on his farm , his wife
used to go out into the woods and
father berries to take lo town nnd
> ell. It is said that she did a thriving
) Usincss in the sale of bunches of
wintergrcen , picked on the surround-
ng hills , while the old man and the
hildren turned a dime or two by dig-
jing sassafras roots end peddling the
) ark at Petroleum Centre for the
'
> eople to make tea of. Qno day old
Jenninghoff was driving his old horse
p the hill from town to his house ,
when a man carrying a ham and a bag
f potatoes asked him for a ride.
Vhen ho got out the passenger asked
iim what the chanjo would be.
\bout fifteen cents 'will do , I guesa , '
said the owner of 800,000 in cash ,
nd the man paid it.
"It went along this way for a while ,
mtil ono day everybody was startled
> y hearing that the old idiot had been
obbed. It was what had been pro-
icted , but the reality sort of dazed
10 community. It was pretty genor-
lly known what ho had in his safe ,

10 wildest excitement. Ono evening

) ig one , had a very common lock , and
lie robbers had little trouble getting
nto it. Tho.iiews How like wildfire ,
nd the next day Bonninghoff offered
reward of § 100,000 for the arrest of
lie gang , or any members of it. This
> rought to the centre the best detec
tives in the country , and before long
i < was discovered that the robbery had
been committed by a party of six
men from Suegerstown , a village fifty
miles to the northwest. 'Tho scheme
lad been concocted by Jim Scager ,
who took in with him a brewer , a Bhoo-
maker , and thrco other fellows he
aiew and could trust. Hundreds of
arrests were made , and finally nearly
all the little fishes were taken in , but
Seager , who had taken ? 300,000 of
he money , was too sharp for the de-
ectivos. Nothing was heard of him
or years , though officers scoured Eu-
ope and America. Reports reached
he Centre occasionally that he was in
Jenuany , or Turkey , or Paris , or Aus-
ralia , or some other distant pointbut
lolhingeame of it. Five or six days
ago the man turned up in Denver ,
rhere ho was recognized and arrested ,
nit , Beniiinghoff having died and his
estate wasted , the officers refused to
o to the expense of bringing him
> ack and ho was released. They said
hat all the important witness wore
dead , or scattered , and that ho could
not be convicted. Besides , there was
no chance at the $100,000. Anyhow
Seager got off scot free.
'It seems that after robbing the
Benninglioff safe Sieger got into a
canal-boat and went down the Alo-
gheny river to Pittsburg , where ho
ook passage with his two valises full
of stolen money on a scow that landed
iim at Cairo. From there he wont to
Sew Orleans , and then jumped to
rlavana. and llio Janeiro , where ho
cut it fat for a while , and then skipped
:0 : Mexico. Next he moved into
Texas and went into the cattle busi
ness. Ho was in Denver selling cattle

Dressing for a Photograph.
'Ktw York Sun.
"Tho question is often asked , " said
an experienced photographer , "why
actors and actresses take the most
pleasing pictures. It is because they
atndy the principles of art and good
taste in the profession and understand
how to dress. Moreover , they usually
bring a selection of veils , flowers ,
curls , braids , laces and sometimes
costumes to give the photographer a
choice of accessories. They come when
they are wholly at leisure and are not
flustered. A red face'takes ' black , ) and
they know it Then they do not load
themselves down with gewgaws
and haber-dashorica , to show all that
they have got in worldly goods. Few
persons know how to dress for a pic-
hire like an actress. The boat mate
rials for ladies to wear when about to
sit for a photograph are such as will
fold or drape nicely , like reps , win-
coys , poplins , satins and silks. Lavender -
ender , lilac , sky blue , purple and
French blue take very light and are
worse for a picture than pure white.
Corn color and salmon are bettor , .
China pink , rose pink , magenta , crim
son , pea green , buff , plum color ,
dark purple , pure yellow , Mazarine
blue , navy blue , fawn color , Quaker
color , dove color , ashes of rosoa and
stone color show a pretty light gray
in the photograph. Scarlet , claret
garnet , sea green , light orange , leather
color , light Bismarck and slate color
take still darker and are excellent col
ors to photograph. Cherry , wino
color , light apple green , Metternich
green , dark apple green , bottle green ,
dark orange , golden and red brown
show nearly the same agreeable color
in the picture. A black ailk
always looks well and it takwi
well if not bedecked with
ribbons and lacca that will take
white. Dark Bismarck and snuff
brown usually take blacker than a
black silk or satin and are not easy to
drape. A gilk , because it has more
gloss and reflects more light , usually
take * lighter than a woollen dress.
Ladies with dark or brown hair should
avoid contrasts in their costumea , as
light substances photograph more
quickly than dark , and ladies with
light .hair should dress in something
lighter than those whose hair is dark or
brown. Few ladies understand how to
arrange their hair so as 'to harmonize
with the form of the head , but blind
y follow the fashion , ko the neck longer
or short or the face narrow or broad.
broad face appears more so if the
hair is arranged low'over the forehead
or is parted at the side , and a long
neck becomes storkliko when the hair
built up high , while a few curls
would make a moat' agreeable change
"n the effect. Powdered hair gives
good effect , and .powder should be be <
stowed upon freckles.
