Mill j .1 - A telephone message can be re ceived over a wire while an opera tor is ticking off a telegram over the same wire, was demonstrated a few days ago, when the experiment was made by S. P. Hutchinson, superintendent of the Sunbury and Iewistown division of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, and several of his subordinates. Over the railroad telegraph wire, between Selins grove and Lewistown, with which telephone connection was made the other day, two messages were sent simultaneously, and while a tele graph operator received one, a man at a 'phone received the other, which was talked into a transmitter at Lewistown. A feminine fakir is victimizing dressmakers in neighboring coun ties by calling on them and an nouncing that she is deputy factory inspector, and that she is collecting a three-dollars tax, which has been recently imposed by the state. The game has been successfully worked in some sections, and the woman is still at large and may come this way.

The largest verdict ever given in Pennsylvania in a suit lor damages for injuries was rendered in the United States District Court at Scranton last Thursday, in the action brought by John T. Martin. now ofEaston, against the Dela ware and Hudson Company. The damages awarded are $55,500, a little more than half the amount asked. The action arose through the col lision of a Delaware and Hudson train, in which Mr. Martin, then a practicing attorney, was coil ing from his home in Olyphant, with a Lackawanna freight train at grade crossing, the allegation being that the Delaware and Hud son engineer had disregarded the ball signal, which was against him. The attorneys for Mr. Martin were Major Everett Warren, Joseph O'Brien and Nathan Vidaver, while the Delaware and Hudson was re presented by Judge Jessup and for mer Attorney General Palmer. Bruce Black was on this jury. A New Bug Doming, Hit Name Alone Sufficient to Terrify Human Beings. A sort of man eating bumble bee, known as the "cornorhinus sanguissi gus," is making his way northward from Mexico. He is also known as the blood-sucking conenose, but is usually called cannibal bug for short. Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the divis ion of entomology in the department of agriculture at Washington, discov ered him. He that is, the cannibal bug belongs to the Reduviidae fam ily. His plan of action is to fly into a window in the dead of night and take a bite or two of anybody who happens to be within reach. He differs from the kissing bug in that he never bites the lips. He al ways goes for more substantial parts of the anatomy. Arms are his favorite tid-bits. He prefers plump arms to slim ones, but if there are nothing but thin ones in sight he will take a bite anyway, just to be sociable. Cornor hinus somewhat resembles a bumdle bee in size. He is bright and speck led with a myriad legs, an J he has a three-jointed beak which rests in a groove between his fore leg when not in use, and which, when in use, can create more excitement in a com munity than a full grown man in an old maids' convention.

The Postoffice Department at Washington has issued the following set of instructions to the public in regard to the new house to house sys tem of registration by letter carriers. The new system will be a great con venience, as it will no longer be neces sary for a person to go to the postof fice in order to have a valuable letter registered. In giving to residents of cities the advantage of having their letters reg istered at their own door, the provis ions of the "Eight-hour Law," as ap plied to carriers, make it necessary for the Department to exact certain requirements, which, though easy of fulnllraenf, are, nevertheless impera tive. 1. Only letters can be registered ; and they must be ready in every re spect when the carrier calls, for he is forbidden, on pain of dismissal, to wait even a fraction of a minute longer than is necessary to write the receipt. 3. tvery letter must be inclosed in an envelope strong enough to safely I.
