The Shamrock is being re-measur-ed today, and will start tomorrow I . with the added disadvantage of carrying her anchor and chain j Saturday the hatches in the chai l longer were removed and two light i men substituted for two heavy ones |to keep her inside the ninety foot water line. The addition of anchor and chain will be nothing in the I Shamrock’s favor. A pair of people in love usually ; rate each other pretty high. Poets put it that one is worth the whole . world to the other. Even sane- j minded people are shocked when a woman throws over a batch of true I love for a million dollar man. Over jin Pulaski county, there is a woman who is suing another for alienating her husbands affections. She must be a woman who loves contention or else her husband's love must have lieen mighty poor stuff. She rates it at only $3,000. Is there anyone who has not| heard it said that a woman cannot I keep a secret? At Washington they have discharged a woman from the postofflce department. This headline tells the story: “Woman Loses Job Because She Won’t Talk!’’ They claim she knew something about the postoffice fraudsand kept it all to herself. In other words, they discharged her because she didn't run around and tell everyone she knew and more. too. If she is the first woman who ever kept a secret, the treatment she received isn’t much of an incentive to any other woman to make the trial. E. P. Griffith, of New York, «np erintendent of the telegraph on the I Erie road is experimenting with a I new telephone device that is to be | installed over the entire system. .It was ilrsi intioduced about two months ago and is rapidly growing ijiopular. By means of the new device telephone service is secured over metallic telegraph circuit without interfering with either of the two telegraph wires. A test was made between Cleveland and other points and despite the vust amount of noise on the telegraph wires, conveisations were easily held and voices even clearly distinguished between the jxiints named. In fact the test was very satisfactory and the new system will soon be in general operation over the Erie. The system is an auxiliary to the telegraph department and will be of invaluable aid in railroad operation. It may also be used us a safety appliance in ease of any possible misunderstanding us to orders. The test between Cleveland and jMiints on the muin line of the Erie was the first time the device has been introduced and in ull probability the Erie will be the first system in the country to be thoroughly equipped with it.
