Mr. Mooshy remark&d thait tbe Tur ks like chicken even more than Methodist prea'chers. The Turks living in Armenia are exempt from ail taxation.

THE BOYS ARE FOUND.

TWO TRUANT FUTURE PRESIDENTS THROUGH SEEING THE COUNTRY.

JamM Harris and Walter Rogers Who Wandered From the Old Fireside About Ready for Fatted Calf Exercises..,

Saturday evening Mr. George Harris of West Terre Haute received the first information -relative to bis 16-year old son who had run away from home to •go West about a week previous. The information was from t-he prodigal himself and was written at Funkhouser, near sEffin«gbam, 111. The boy cunningly refrained! from signing bis name or •giVing his address, but the father took the pointer as to the boy's location frotm. the postmark on the envelope. Mr. Harris boarded the first train for Effingham wihen be learned tbat Funkhouser was about ifiour miles distant. Tbe father employed-a conveyance and was soon at Fumkbouser making inquiries relative to his wandering son.

The postmaster could not remember who mailed the letter, although be remembered toeing asked if it was ad*•dressed so that there would be no doufot about its destination. A farmer in- the neighbor-hooB remerobered that a man (by the name of Prank Clark, who -lived in a deserted' cabin back two miles among the hills, fha/d asked him af he toad any work for a boy. 'Mr. Harris found Clark In a rude but surrounded toy a pet dog, some game cocks, a few rude articles o»f fut-niture and the most welcome sight of all* Hla lost ?son.

The -boy was pleaffiedtb meet bis fatlher but did not take friendly to the idea of returning hoane. 'He aaad the had left (home, becansfe-the did not like to go to school and w^usedi to return to Hoosierddm itnlessl the father wouM excuse ihim from.furiber attendance at school. The -fiaitbeirre^diily "consented'toithe termis of such a coanpromise and the two were soon on their way (back to this city. In every other respect James is" an oibedient son a nd has caused his parents 'no troulble prior to t'he runaway escapade. He aiblhors t'he idea olf attending school and Ms father now realizes tbat it would be a .waste of the boy's time and would probably cause serious results if be forced Mm into the school so much against bis will. He will therefore allow James to lay bis books aside and look for employment. .Durinig the boy's wild goose chase be bas bad a good taste of the, hardship oif raugfoinig it and the experience ma» prove profitable to Mm. -He wailked tihe eaitire distawce to Effimgham, sixtyeigHit miiles, in two days, sleepin-g out of doors tbe first night. 'Near Effln-g-bam be was given a riid/e by a faaimer^ but could find no one who bad room' for a boy until be met Glark. Clatric lhad bteen. forced to ileave biis borne wheoi bu/t 9 years olf age, and a» ail Mb life ha/d been buffeted throoigih the world, ihe 'tookipiity on. the boy and,gave ftDim ahielter until such tiime as he could find •emiploytmenit or t!he weather -moderated -suffidi'eaitliy for hti-m to resuime his journey. Had it not been for the human'! ty shown by thie occupant of the nid'e cabin lin giving tbe boy shelter there is ino teil'l-ng when Mir. Harris* seanclh for his b*oy would .have ended1.

Walter IRoyse, tihe -lO-year-old son of a wMow -LiViaitg on North Ninth street, who ran away from home about a week ago, has ibeen heard from and another parents1, palinful fear and suspense has been- appeased.

MR. KEEL Y'S WONDERS

ANOTHER EXHIBITION BY THK PHILADELPJb IA MAGICIAN.

He Calls Polar nnd Depolar Sympathetic Force.

St. H.ouis. J-an. 19.—The Post Dispatch's -Philadelphia correspondent .4&ys:< In response to a special invitation your represerttative attended a. Kofley seance sJa'turday. Just why these invitations were sent out at thi3 time no one, except possibly Keely and his patroness, Mrs. Bloomington Moore, can say. Thete was some idea that the motor Vas to do Hts m'ighty work at Hast, and that the favored few at this papticuiar seance were to be the first to see the great nenv' force, the practical demonstration of the fact that Mr. Keely had plucked the heart out of the mystery o? the infinite. But the results were even as the results of all the others seanfces given at 'intervals of five years for the past twenlty-five years. There was a puzzling sleight of hand show, a fU'Silade cf -talk aibout as intelligible as the speecetties in the Grand Supreme Gibble Gabble of the Jabberwock, and a glittering promise of something some day soon.

There has been a great deal said of •late about John Jacob Astor and other great capitalists having taken up tfi?» Keely mystery. It was said that Mr. Keely had at last perfected ih'is machine for making the genii that swing the jflanets in- their ottos' obey the gentle persuasiveness of the notes of a tuning 'fork and make railway trains and all manner of-mighty engines move without the troulble and expense of fuel. The world has been waiting upon Mr. Keely ifor twenty-five years while he toiled aibout mysteriously in his workshop. The capitalists have lost faith and Keely stock ihas gone -to 10 cents on the dollar. Then there has been an exhibition or something and the stock has gone to 200. Keely stock is low just now, and !Mre. Moore's son has brought proceedings to ihave his mother declared SneapaJble of taking care of her estate, a part of which goeis to Keely every year.

W. A. MoAndrew of the Pratt Institute, two gentlemen who know something about science. Also Mre. Moore was there. "I am aSwayg a good d£al di« tiu'bed when I begin one of these exhfi "bi.tions," said Mr. KeeOy, "for sometimes, if an unsympathetic person is present, the machines -will not work." This Statement -reported again and again by (Mrs. Moore, rather dampened tJha ardor of tihe gentlemen present, Por think of the pitiful scene if a rail road -train, equipped with a Keely -motor should pass a town 'in iwhiic'h an unsympathetic person Jived, or should take on an unsympathetic passenger. Engineer, conductor, forakefnan would all plead with tihe motor in vain. Not an. inch, would it budge until the Jonah had been put off or possibly killed.

Mr. Keely and Mrs. fiVfoore t'hen talked science. The two scientific men looked uneasy: The great Keely and hfs exponent seemed to be talking English At lealst they used Engiisfti words. And •the words seemed to have some sort of coherence. But what the .coherence was no one could tell. As near as could be got at Mrs. liloore seemed to think the motive power Mr. Keely had discovered was "the will of God." SShe confided that Mr. KeCly did not need any machinery at all. "He can just stand and look at that giofbe and talk to it and it will revolve as fast or slow as he says, slhe sa^.d.

Ma\ Keenly gave no exhlitfition of these 'remai'kablia powers. But he did show several pretty—weld, one is tempted to say—tricks. Por it was after all mora like a pniv&fce exhibition by Herman than a serious exthFWt/iofni of eci-ence. Mr. KeeJey .expialned that his force is a, polar depol-ajr sympathetic force, s(!m ply that amd nothing more. He had several dn teres-ting ma,chines and thie •gdieaiMftc men- took them apart, applied ev)©ry knora test aind cotrid discover nothdng.

The big iroom to th'e -laboratory is about twemty-'fouir feet square and th^ iifg,hti from the skylight fell full ujpon the- row of machines aibout the waiil. First :hiere was the eingin-e for the in1t«r*ohfyr'ge of polar and depolar sympathy. It was a sort of wheel with'in a wheel. Mr. Keely .moved ia glass tab!-/ to the middle of the Jpoorn and put a copper globe aibout seven iniahe® to dlametier upon it. There was some Curious /median ism attached to the globe, too compliioated to describe. A -twisted fum-nefl, ffiike an ea.r trumpet, oomimiUTif cafced wl'tb tihe Interior of the globe Mr. KeeHy toOk a 'b'.ftr tuning fork in his ihaind. and struck it on on«? of the steel nods attoich'irfd to the globe. Almost at once the 'wheel of the macMrite ove.r agaii'irst the wali 'began to revolve. The only apparent can-netatiart between th{ globe amid the malchiine wa^s a simgle tftaind of wfre, amd the galva-nomet^i showed that no electricity was present. "What do you thi-rtk?" said one scientst to the other. "A new force or a new trick," wbis-. perptf thie seoomd-. "Wlhy does this happen?" asked the first mam of Mr. Kee3y. "Simply th-a to tenohange of poiair axn.^3 depolar sympathy," replield Mr. Keeliy,

Next there wa's a gold colore^, #ipbe mounted on iron (nods amd set upon a glass slab, fc«ir feet -long and over an (nv.h thick.

Mir. Keely tied one end of the still? thread to thie ma«hitne and -oarried is across the room and passed it through a small win'diow dnlto the next -room and put his head throsuigh the window. Ho had a zither, tlwo pitch pipes and a compressed mouth organ. "TeJi me how. many times I shall make fflie globe revolve," saiii he. '•Make it twice," said Mr. Andrew.

IMV. Keely placed a note on the pitch pipes, twanged the zither and the globe twertty feet away .ravcflved twice. rFlve Wmesv" said Mr. ©rinton.

Keely played a Afferent -note arid l! revolved five times'. Then he twa.nged amd played and the globe revertved napiddiy. Mr. CciA,nldrew cut "the- thread arid the gh^be sticpbed 4nstfaintly. The scientists exanrined tihe globe before and ailcer these .experiments, but ccai'Jd discover no cause for the motion.

After showing one other amazing machine Mr. Keely took Wa audience into the nexft room to view the gr^iat motor. This i» an entirely new machine, entirety different from amy other'except in one respect." That one point of reseonbtence is i'h-M it Is not o.u-Jte finistoftd and Is jnrit about done, and wWl soon a«tan-fe-h the world. 'Salki Mir. Kediy a« they stood looking at the maohto^. "Big as this thing is, it will so neiitnaltee the force of gravity that a child w.M be able to pktk it up and (hold tft a-t arm's 3ei^?9h."

But whaJt of it, Mr. Keely?" asked cne of tbe -men. "io what use can it be (PUt?" •Xfimitless use," replied Mr. Keely

"With a machine iflke this. Tnft no bigger than your hand, I will be able to run a street car crowded io the rot-it Amd th^ -motor Itself would show nc aoioftiom". 4 ""VVSvecv?" "Pretty eoom. I do -not mean to apning the thing half dene. Not until the so:eintiific mystery of the fotVe is mine.* Por fifteen years I was hindered by an irrcamfciete hypothesis Five years ago began an anotfrer tack. Now you sea what I have."

John Krreest Worra-S Keely is flow over 68 years old. He is young looking •for his years, vf groat phj's.!?al strngth. a smooth and persuasive talker, a man of dominatinag oh&radtar. He has beeij at ft over tMrty years and you see what he has.

Myer military reservation and a company of scientists were on hand to witness the experiments, which, however, were postponed because of the prevalence of an almost absolute CaJm. It Is the purpose of Professor Moore to devise a system of kites that can be relied on to carry a considerable weight, six or eight pounds, perhaps two miles above the surface of the earth. The kite adopted for the purpose is of cellular construction, without the old-fashioned tail, and 'has remarkable power for lifting.

to Grayvillc,

Cll, wlwtj she Intended to visit lelatives. Before leaving- her bro'Ufter's ho.uae she was engaged In a quarrel with her husiband, Who had called to demand that sho "sign some papers relative to a pending divorce trial. The woman refused and when she left tihe house. Smith followed her making threats and declaring she itfiould not leave the city until stfve had attached her signature to the papers. Tha vfarring man and wife were engaged in spirited quarrel white walking a.or,g the p'r^e Til*- woman was visibly excited

denly, threw up her hands, uttered scream and fell to the ground dead. A crowd soon srathered about her and the ooron-er was notified. Coroner Payne waa on hand in a few moments and on examination found that death had resulted from h«?art failure. What cause brought about the heart failure is a matter which can not be determined until Che investigation kg completed.

There are numerous sensat'onal rumors concerning the affair, but the coroner declines to act on them until he has made a thorough Investigation of the facts leading up to the moment of the woman's death. It is true that Mr., and Mrs. Smith did not get along well and that a divorce action instituted by the huaband is now

ending in the courts. It is aftso true that aind his wife were quarrelling- a moment preceding the death and that ha had. with an oath, told the woman that she should not leave the city until she bad signed oertain paoers. It Is the belief of many that the woman was actually frightened to death, but the coroner will insist on the best of evidence ln support of this claim, and will be in no hurry about embodying such a statement in his verdict.

After tbe coroner had viewed the body amd surroundings, the police ambulance was called and the dead woman was removed t'o the home of -her 'brother. *1011 West, with whom she has been living since separating from her husbanrJ. T*vi small children are orphaned by the sad and sudden death, which brings a discontented husband's divorce proceedings to an end. Smith is apparently indifferent as to the death of his wife, but strongly denies all accusations that hlls treatment

of her was the cause of it. He admits

Mitchell is only about 17 years of a^e and the leniency was given in consideration «f his promise of honestv and good beimvior in tfie future. The boy has never borno a bad reputation and both the Judg* and prosecutor thought ft better to give him a Chance to reform than to send hlin to prison. If, however.
