Congressman to Introduce Bill and
Postmaster-General May Approve
Plan in Report.
C!ITD FIUS LSASH) W1M.
Washington, Oct. 2. Postmaster
General Burleson was considering today
the wisdom of including in his next an
nual report a recommendation for gov
ernment ownership of all telegraph and
telephone lines. The idea is in line
with former Postmaster-General Hitch
cock's suggestion.
Congressman Lewis, of Maryland
an expert on problems of transporta
tion and interstate commerce, admitted
that the government is studying the
government ownership plan, as applied
to telegraphs and telephones.
Irrespective of Burleson's decision
Lewis will introduce a bill soon pro-
riding for the acquisition by the gov
ernment of the country's communica
tion systems. He had gathered much
data in Europe, whore the government
ownership plan generally prevails, and
favors the system prevailing in Ger
many and Holland, which, while own
ing the communication lines, places
their operation under the control of
the various states.
In Austria, Lewis pointed out today,
a thred-minute conversation by tele
phone can be carried on between points
700 miles apart for 60 cents, which in
the United States would cost 4.20.
GET HIS MONEY BACK
The state emergency board this af
ternoon voted to create a deficiency of
(1456.96 to reimburse Governor West
for money expended in his vice crusade
after the regular appropriation had
been exhausted.
State Treasurer Kay was the only
member who voted against the plan,
lie declared that it sounded the death
i;nell of tlio emergency law. Ho said
there was nothing to now prevent any
officer from following the same tactics
as the governor.
McArthur explained he did not want
to haggle over it and did not want it
considered a present.
Senator Perkins and Representative
Abbott were both sore because the
board had voted at its last meeting to
aid the governor in his crusade and so
they decided to line up and let those
who wanted to do so, eat crow.

Inter than Friday, and it may go to

Despite SimmoiiB' confidonco, other

WEDDiNQ SUPERSTITIONS.
Curious Customs That Used to Bt 0
asrvad In England.
Superstition never clustered round
any episode of Ufa more than that of
the wedding day, especially In olden
times.
Then it was customary for the bride
to present her future husband with a
buncb of rosemary tied up with rib
bone on bis flrst appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to secure bis love and loyalty and to
make ber happy forever.
In Yorkshire the old superstition still
abounds that nothing more unlucky
could happen than for a newly made
bride to leave the church by a different
door from that by which she entered.
Another quaint custom, for which
there Is no known origin. Is that prac
tised In some of the midland and
northern counties of England. This Is
to ring a merry peal of the church
bells at the first rending of the banns
of an Intending matrimonial couple. It
Is called the "spur peul." which in old
Anglo-Saxon means simply "ask."
Of course It Is well known that It Is
the height of luck for a bride to be to
dream of fairies the night before the
actual ceremony. So much was this
Idea believed in that many girls would
peruse fairy tales before going to
sleep. London Telegraph.
NO NAME FOR A POET.
Millar Was Open to Conviction and
Shed the Heavy Burden.
"Clnclmmtus Heine" was the name
that the parents of Joaquin Miller be
stowed on 1)1 in at bis christening. How
the poet came to adopt the name
"Joaquin," under which he Is unlvcr.
sally known, was told by Mr. Charles
Phillips, editor of the San Francisco
Monitor. Miss Ina Coolbrlth. of whom
be speaks, is the California poetess
who has been called the "Sappho of
the west."
In 1870. when be came down from
Oregon and published bis drat little
book of poems, entitled "Joaquin et
al.," he told Miss Coolbrlth of his de
termination to go to London and win
fame.
"How in tho world," she asked him,
"do you expect to climb Parnassus
with such a name as you have? Mil
ler Is bad enough, but Clnciunatus
Heine Is impossible!"
"But what can I dor Miller asked.
"It's my name, Isn't it?"
"Why don't you take some name
that will Identify you with Califor
nia?" Miss Coolbrlth rejoined. "Take
the name of your first book; call your
self Joaquin."
"By George. I'll do it!" sold Miller.
And from that day be signed hiUDBelf

The late Theodore Thomas was re
hearsing the Chicago orchestra on the
stage of the Auditorium theater. He
was disturbed by the whistling of Al
bert Burrldge, the well known scene
painter, who was at work In the loft
above the stage. A few minutes later
Mr. Thomas' librarian uppenred on the
"brldgo" where Mr, Burrldge. merrily
whistling, was at work.
"Mr. Thonius' compliments," said the
librarian, "and he requests me to state
that If Mr. Burrldge wishes to whistle
be will be glad to discontinue his re
hearsal."
To which Mr. Burrldge replied suave
ly, "Mr. Burrldge's compliments to
Mr. Thomas, anil please Inform Mr
Thomas that If Mr. Burrldge cannot
whistle with the orchestra be won't
whistle at all."

A QUEER LAKE.
With Neither Inl.t Nor Outlet It Has
Mysterious Tide.
There is a curious Swiss lake. Lake
Marjelan, wblcb at regular Intervals
completely disappears and does not be
gin to rellll until the following winter
or spring. On these occasions it emp
ties Itself so rapidly that the Rhone
rises several meters in a few hours
and overflows its banks.
But it Is not necessary to go to
Switzerland in order to find a freak
ish lake. There is a pond in the center
of Long Island, ut the present end of
the Motor parkway, called Lake Ron-
konkoma. It has neither inlet nor out
let aud Ilea at the foot of the bills that
form the backbone of Long Island.
Bound Its shores are many pretty sum
mer homes. The trees about It are
much larger and more beautiful than
elsewhere on Long Island. The waters
of the hike are very clear and cold. In
some places it seems bottomless.
The strange thing about Lake Ron
konkomu Is that It has a tide; not a
tide like the ocean that rises and falls
every twelve hours, but one thnt takes
seveD years to rise and seven more to
full. Tbe difference between high wa
ter and low water mark Is between
thirty and forty feet Many scientific
men have studied tbe curious phe
nomenon, but no one has found out
what causes this mysterious tide. Nei
ther long continued rains nor severe
droughts affect the quantity of water
in the lake.
The Indians used to hold the lake in
great awe, and few dared to cross it
In a canoe. There is a legend of one
brave who, while fishing, was drown
ed Id the lake. His body was found
six months afterward nearly ten miles
away In Long Island sound. Youth's

HIS BACKING WAS GOOD.
And President Tyler Found a Place
For Old Jaok Dade.
President Tyler hod a curious ofllce
seeking experience at tbe very begin
ning of bis administration. Old Jack
Dade, a character about Washington,
who had been the president's class
mate at college, went to the White
House, and said be, "Jack, I want an
office."
"Yon do?" said President Tyler.
"What ofllce on earth do you think you
are fit for?'
"Why, one o these 'sineenrees' 1 hear
so much about no work and good
pay," Dade promptly replied.
"Well, Jnck." said Tyler deprecating,
ly. "you know that 1 am president
now and must have some kind of war
rant for making an appointment Can
you get anybody to Indorse you' Could
you bring me a letter of recommenda
tion?" "Oh. yes." said Dnde. "I'm fixed for

pages written by Tyler himself to
President Harrison, whom he had Just

Big Crowd Last Night
Conservatively estimating, at least
11,500 people people in tho grand stand,
bleachers and on tho race track at the
fair grounds last night witnessed the
fireworks, and the special attractions
which took place in front of tho grand
stand. A veritable bch of faces were
illuminated when the Los Angeles
Fireworks Company's bright rockets
and mortars threw out their rays.
It was generally conceded last night
by people who have attended the state
fair for the last 20 yearB that tho grand
stand has never beforo received such
a patronage as it did last night. Every
seat in the spacious building was taken,
the bleachers full to overflowing and
a thousand people took up positions of
observation on tho raco track and in the
center of tho circle.
Owing to tho fact that Mr, Wilson,
mnnngcr of tho fireworks company, is
111 at tho present time, and unable to Bo
on duty, the displny lost night was
somewhat lacking in tho now features.
There were several late stunts devised
by Mr. Wilson, which were not entirely
successful, but, taking the entertain
ment all, it was most entertaining.

SCHUMANN-HEINK THE
ADOEED ARTIST AND WOMAN
No singor of this generation ib more
universally beloved than Ernestine Shu-mann-Heink,
the world-famous contralto
Hers is the contralto voice of the cen
tury, just as much as Caruso's is the
tenor voice of this epoch.
In the case of Madame Schumann
Iloink, art and personality contribute
nearly as much aB the glorious voice
toward making her the most popular
figure in the musical circles of the
country. Power to instill verctnion for
high art into the minds of the most ex
acting critics, she has no less power in
arousing tho wonder and enthusiasm of
the plainer people, who love art but are
unable to describe its technique. The
masses who turn out to hear the great
contralto regard her with the same awe
with which they view a copy of Ra
phael's Madonna; they know tho pic
ture is wonderful, but they are unable
to tell why. Just, tho samo they real
ize that whon Madame Schitmnnn
Hcink sings, their hearts nre touched,
and they go home desiring to be better
men and women after having heard
her.
Year after year, the Schumann-ITeink
concert audiences continue to hail her
with tho welcome that bespeaks love
and loyalty. Tho reanon for this un
broken popularity is not hard to ex
plain. Schumann-Heink sings every
school of songs and arias ever written.
The marvelous range of her voice and
its color enables her to vary her pro
grams without effort. Moreover, Mad
ame Schumann-TTcink delights in sing
ing English, and she is known for her
generosity to the American song com
posers.
Many chapters have been published
in hooks about the career of this won
derful artist. As a Wagnerian interpre
ter sho is without a rival. No sinner
of tho times has ever surpassed her Im
personations of such roles as Ortnul,
Erda and Fricka; but, Wagner is not
all; as Dides in "The Prophet," as
Delilah and as Ar.ncena, she has com
hnnded tho enthusiastic tributes from
opera goers all over the world. A queen
of tragedy, Madame Schumann-Heink is
no Icrs wonderful when sho essays the
field of comedy. Her Dame Quickly, in
"Tho Merry Wive&of Windsor," re
mains one, of the memorable operatic
portraits to opera subscribers in New
York.
