SOLD HORSE THAT WASN'T HIS
Lexington Sheriff Seeking Your
White Man Name*! O'Brion.
Lexington, April 25.?The office:
of this county are today looking for
young white ,man by the name <
Talmage O'Brion, who, it is allege
stole a horse in the city of Sumter
few days ago and sold it in Columbi
O'Brion came to Lexington on Moi
day afternoon and wanted Frank V
Shealy, clerk of the court, to identil
him so that he could get a $100 chec
cashed. The check was given on
Columbia bank. The local banl
were closed and Mr. Shealy told hi]
to come back on Tuesday morning
that he would telephone to Colun
bia and ascertain whether the chec
was good or not," and that if it was a
right he would have the bank hei
to cash it. The young man did n<
show up on Tuesday, but Wednesdc
about noon he appeared at the Hon:
National Bank and presented tt
check. The officers of the bank teh
phoned to Columbia to see if tl
check was good. It was learne
that the party who gave the chec
had sufficient funds in the bank 1
meet the check, but that he woul
protest it on the grounds that tl
horse for which the check had bee
given had been stolen, and the office]
here were notified to arrest the youn
man.
It appears that the check was mad
payable to a party by the name (
Reid, but it seems that the man wc
no other than Talmage O'Brion, t
probably having endorsed the chec
wiih the name of Reid, and also er
dorsed it himself in the name c
O'Brion.

STRANGE USES FOR GOLI).
to Buried, Taken as Medicine, and Used
on Religious Buildings in India.
r- Curious and interesting facts ree
garding India's passion for gold, and
y, the strange uses to which the natives
le put the precious metal, are contained
y, in a report issued by the great bull's
ion merchants, Messrs. Samuel Monie
tague & Co. After mentioning the
Df fact that last year India reported gold
10 bars worth 47,135,000 pounds, as
s- well as 18,324,000 pounds in sovereigns,
Messrs. Montague state that,
as a contrast to the savings of France,
?e which are utilized to promote trade,
I those of India are buried or hoarded.
it "At present nearly all the gold dug
from the earth in South Africa is by
r. a fresh digging operation deposited
3; again beneath the soil in South Asia.
>k "In India gold is put to uses unid
usual among nations of the West,
at Consumption of gold does not imply
in England the actual swallowing of
ie extremely thin gold leaves for medi[d
cinal purposes, though it is so taken
p- in parts of India. A frequent form
a- of piety is to regild the domes of rely
ligious buildings; such operations
tg can easily absorb 10,000 pounds or
a more. Sovereigns with a shield on
the obverse are in constant request.
A rajah of rococo tastes imported

India occupies the position of a
r_ creditor nation on an immense scale,
a fact which renders the size of its
d gold imports a matter of primary
importance to the rest of the world.
lg It seems assured that these imports
;0 last year were not only a fresh rec?e
ord, but will attain a total not less
:y than 28 per cent of the world's output.
This total, it is stated, is owing

OPEN SAFE WITH MUSIC.
le
Newest Strong Box Has Combination
Tuned to a Musical Tone.
A safe that can be opened by means
of a musical tone, and in no other
r. way, has been made by Thorne
g_ Baker, electrical expert of London.
From a description we learn that the
t- safe is made of chilled steel, with the
)r regulation knob on the door, but
a without combination or time lock.
le Attached to it on the inside are electro
magnets connected by wires with
ie a circuit of batteries. These are in
is turn connected with another set of
:o dry batteries, which is wired to a
ie curious looking apparatus that looks
it like a carpenter's mitre box, with a
w double row of numbers down the in;e
side of the channel. Across this is a
1- gauge, attached to which is an ordinary
violin bridge. Over this fret
ts is stretched a music wire of metal.
a drawn taut to a binding post and
r_ passing through that to form a coil
below it and outside the tuning box
,p and thence down into the dry batter
id ies. We read further:
a "This mitre box is really a musical
0 scale, set by numbers so that the tone
a can be gauged up or down by twos
r_ as may be desired to meet the needs
i. of a new combination, or a new tunie
ing fork, if it is desired to thus
change the combination or opening
d note. The music wire, which may be
1 a guitar, banjo or violin string, is sett
lected and gauged to synchronize
,e with the tuning fork used. When the
d tuning fork is struck and placed at
t. the top of the safe the wire inside
e catches the vibration from the fork,
y and vibrates in sympathy. This vi!_
bration passes through the binding
!_ post into the outside coil and thence
!_ down into the small circuit of dry
1? nr?i/>ollxr r?] Acin cr tVlic
Uaiienes, illCCliaixivaii j liuuiuj,
>s circuit. Asn electric current is thus
started which passes on and is made
to close the larger circuit of dry batteries,
which starts a stronger current
moving. This Stronger current acts
j through wires directly on the electro
magnets that throw the bolts of the
concealed lock. Once these are
10
j thrown the doors may be pulled open.
"After the tuning fork and wire
are set to the same guage no other
tuning fork may have any effect
whatever upon the lock. As no two
tuning forks are exactly alike in
rpitch,
it is obvious that only one tun'
ing fork in the world could open the
safe, once it is closed and locked, and
i 0
. onlv the person possessing the fork
is
could have access to the safe. However,
once it is open, it can be reset to
accord with another tuning fork,
- whereupon the original one is use>y
less."?Popular Electricity.

700 Want Divorces.
Reno, April 24.?Never has thi
city witnessed such a crowd of wo
men and men sfeeking divorce, par
ticularlv the former, in its hotel
apartment houses and cottages, walk
ing its streets and flocking to it
places of entertainment, cafes am
resorts.
Fully 700 of such temporary resi
dents are here for no other purpose
than securing a legal separation fron
their husbands or wives. They ar
spending an enforced seven to nim
months in any manner which wil
most pleasantly "kill time" until the;
are maritally freed.
Unquestionably the final rush fo
a Nevada decree is in full swing. Thi
three leading hotels which have beei
housing many cff these so-called resi
dents, are literally swamped. Ever;
train from the East adds to th?
throng, who manage to secure quar
ters somewhere.
Upon the Overland Limited thi
morning seven apparently wealth;
women arrived, with their maids
One of them through the telegrap]
secured accommodations at one o
the hotels. The other six were com
pelled to seek boarding houses.
There is hardly a modern cottag
available today, although other di
vorcees, having secured their decree
are departing each week, giving plac
to others. The cafes are running a
high tension, the music continuin
frequently until the early morninj
hours.
The courts have been compelled t
set aside entire days each week fo
divorce business, some single day
witnessing fourteen trials.
