GALLANT LOVERS,' BUT TIMID, IN A WAY, CAN TELL WHEN TO PROP08E BY CONSULTING WITH A PHTHYMOGRAPH. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 18. Here is a story that ought to send thrills of joy to the hearts of bashful men who haven't been able to muster up nerve enough to "pop the question" to the girl pf their choice, and who have been hoping fondly for another leap year to roll around. Just take the girl on an unsuspecting visit to the laboratory of the psychological clinic of the University of Pennsylvania, which is directed by Dr. Llgfctner Witner, head of the department of psychology. Then have her place her hand daintily in a machine which you will notice is labeled a "phthymograph," or "phyamograph," whatever that may be, and await developments. Whisper Name; Get Results. While her hand rests easily in the machine some one whispers "George,"

"Reginald," or what your name might be, and you keep your eye on the indicator. The machine will do the work and you can take the word of

some of the psychologists who have been experimenting with it as to the

absolute authenticity of this statement. What the machine does is to

which designates with precise correctness the emotions the mention of your name to the girl has caused her

to experience. If the line sinks downward toward the bottom of the paper, take it from

tne proposal machine that your

stock is low with the little woman,

and you had better seize upon a confidential tip on paper and continue to

press your suit a little longer. If, however, the line fairly leaps and bobs toward the top of the paper, ev

erything is all right and you ought to

rush out Into the room where the girl is seated and draw her to your breast.- , How the Machine Works. Before going into the details of how this "phthymograph". works out In actual practice some idea ought to be given of its mechanical construction. In the first place, there is a small metal cylinder on the inside of which is a rubber lining which fits the hand like a glove. It is into this rubber glove that the girl Inserts her hand. The , space between the glove and the cylinder is filled with water, and on the top of the cylinder is a tube that acts as a guage, showing the contraction or expansion of the girl's hand. As the hand contracts the water falls in the tube. At the same time a like effect is caused in a longer rubber hose attached to the upright metal tube and passed through the partition into the adjoining room. Connected with the hose Is a sort of pistonlike apparatus tipped with a rubber diagram, at the end of which Is a lever

which registers the contractions expansions on paper.

SUIT FOB SUPPORT

VA petition has been filed in the probate court by the Dickinson Trust company, asking to be allowed to pay $3 a week to the Home for Friendless for the support of an heir of John Kilner, deceased. The petitioner is guardian of the heir, who is of unsound mind. The girl's father, Macajah Nordyke has been paying this amount for the child's support, but owing to this season being bad for work, he feels that he can not keep it up. It is probable that the unfortunate heir will be sent to the Home for Feeble minded at Ft Wayne.

WAS BADLY BURNED

In endeavoring to light a drop lamp, the lighted match fell and ignited the clothes of Mrs. Benjamin Webb, of Minneapolis, a former resident of this city, burning her so badly that she is in a very serious condition. At the time of the accident, a servant girl was the only other person in the house and she assisted Mrs. Webb in putting out the flames., but was badly burned herself.

Music

MR. BISPHAM'8 COMING. It is doubtful If any celebrity visiting Richmond would create more general town talk and enthusiastic comment than Mr. David Plspham, the famous baritone. He Is well known here and very popular as a singer and a man. It is expected that if tomorrow night Is propitious, the Coliseum will be taxed with a splendid audience, anxious to hear the noted singer. Mr. Bispham Is a shining example of what can be accomplished by force of character, application and patience. It is said that years ago. when Mr. Blapbam waa ambitious to 2ecome a great singer he gave a recital In St. James' Hall, London, at which bis efforts were so ridiculed that bis friends urged him not to undertake to sing

any more. But Mr. Bispbam's determination to sing was too strong to be turned aside. Going to Italy, he spent four years in hard study and upon his return to England, at another recital In St. James Hall, his friends could hardly believe that they were listening to the same man sing, and their joy and satisfaction at his success was shown In many ways. From that time Mr. Bispham's fame spread and has grown with each season. A notable feature of his success recently is his unique Interpretation of Poe's "Raven. which has been hailed with great enthusiasm. By special request. Mr. Bispham will sing "Danny Deever. a wonderful song, made famous by this master of song. ' . s? e $r THE L LAN ELL Y PRIZE CHOIR. In a letter to Mr. Edward Taylor, Mr. Thomas, the director of the LlaneUy Prize Welsh Choir, says that In response to many expressions of hope that the choir may return here for another concert, that If there are 600 people who care to hear them, subscriptions should be In by Jan. 3D the plans of the choir will be made to come here Tuesday evening. February 8. at the Coliseum. Subscriptions are taken at the Starr Piano rooms at 80

cents,

Tha Thief. - In the remarkable Bernstein play of "The Thief," which comes under the direction of Charles Frohman to the Gennett on Saturday, January 2t, the husband sticks to his misguided wife, principally because her charms of mind render her Irresistible. There is no real nobility of motive In her peculations, yet audiences find themselves deeply moved in sympathy for her, perhaps because of the unexpected blow on the husband's confidence and affection, for both are married lovers whose felicity Is clear and genuine.

Blsnden Players.

Mr. Blanden returned to the Gennett theater last evening with, his associate players and met with an enthusiastic greeting from their many friends who were out in full force to see the opening perform sacs. Unlike other companies which have played here before this season. Mr. Blanden comes assured that Richmond theater goers are aware of the excellent performances which he will give during his engagement, for daring; their test visit here New Tear's week, they won a reputation which it would be hard for any one to approach.
