TIE WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH
CnMPANY

Ono Of the leading papers Of the Associated
Press and Western Union mOnopolies printed
u few days ago a sketch Of the business and
extent OF that company, the object Of which
was to Impress upon the public the greatness
and magnitude Of the concern, and thereby
brighten the people and the peoples repre-
sentatlyes from taking any measures looking
to tho control Of the telegraph interests
by the United States. The article In question
will, We are certain, have directly the opposite
effect We defy any one not In the interest
Of the Western Union Company, not bound
up In its welfare and perpetuity by a oommu-
nifty Of Interest, TO read the statement Of It's
condition and business and not come to the
conclusion that Is very magnitude Is the
Dust argument In favor Of putting 1t under
Government control.
II seems that the company was first organ
lied IN 1851 under the title Of the New York
and Mississippi Valley Printing Company,
the route contemplated being from Buffalo,
Ia the state Of New York, TO 81. Louis, in
Missouri, A. that llme there were other lines

Mr.. BOUTWELL, AND THB CLAIM
AGENTd


AGENTS.
A few days ago we called attention to an
order Of the Treasury Department allowing
claimants to revoke powers Of attorney at
any time before the payment Of their claims.
We then held that IL was an act Of seeming,
II not real injustice TO the lawyers, but
upon further investigation we have come to
tho conclusion that 1t has, like almost
every other question, two sides, and that In
effect It will perhaps be more beneficial than
otherwise; and Is calculated, rs II was In
tended, to subserye the greatest good Of the
greater number. The Secretary Of the Treas
aryisof the opinion that claimants have some
rights which should he respected, and that II
the Government owes any duty to any class
in the premises, 1t owes 1t to them, just us
much as to their legal representatives.
Our attention has boon called TO repeated
Instances Of injustice on the part Of attorneys
lractlcing In this city toward claimants
living at distance, and 1t was just these men
md this class Of cases that the order In ques-
ion was intended to reach. II Is within the
knowledge Of the Department that lawyers In
his city prosecuting claims before the
Treasury Department have treated their
clients with gross injustice, and have beer
guilty of what Ia little short Of swindling
The Secretary Of the Treasury proposes
hat this shall come to an end, and every
honest man will approve Of what he has and
Il what he may do toward that end Tn,
Awyers have their remedies in the courts

the wheel represented the circllng years which

The Church generally made selection OF the

early days this was done chiefly TO enable
Christians TO be merry without danger Ia
themselves. Il would not have been safe foT
them TO eat, drink and rejoice on days when
Pagan Governments put on mourning. They
were glad then, when these were glad, and

An INTERNAL RECIPE.

The most extraordinary Of all culin.
airy recipes is the following diabollcal
one given by Mizaid, In his How to
roast and eat a goose alive"
Take a goose or a duck. or some
such live creature; pull off all her
feathers-only the head and meek must
be spared then make q fire round
about her-not too close to her-that
the fire do not touch her within the
circle Of the fire let there be set pots Of
water, wherein salt and honey are
mingled. aud let there be also chargers
full of sodden apples, cut into small
pieces. The goose must be all larded
and basted over with butter, to make
her the more fit to be eaten, and roast
the better; put the fire about her, but
do not make too much haste when you
see her begin to roast, for By walking
about and flying here and there. being
cooped In by the fire that stops her
way out, she will fall to drink the
water to quench her thirst, and cool
her heart aud all her body and the
apple sauce will purge and empty her;
aud when she roasteth and consumeth
inwardly, always wet her head aud
heart with a wet sponge, and when
you see her giddy with running and
begin to tumble, her heart wants mois.
ture, and she Is roasted enough. Take
her up and set her before your guests.
and she will cry out as you cut of any
part Of her. and will be almost eaten
up before she Is dead. It Is mighty
pleasant to behold.
Mr.. Mizaid probably stole this recipe
from the Kitchen of his Internal majes-
ty. Perhaps it was IL of the dishes
the devil ordered IN the advent Of Ne
70 and Caligula.

NICKEL.

The fact may not be generally known
chat the considerable quantity OF nick
Ell, from which our smaller coins are
made, comes from a single mine. which
Is the only one in the country now be-
ing worked. This mine Is situated In
Lancaster county, Penn, 1t has been
worked for seventeen years, and de.
yeloped to a depth of two hundred feet
The length of the lode Is between two
aud three thousand feet, aud II produ-
ees from four to six hundred tons per
month, employing In the working Of
the mine n force OF one hundred and
seventy-fve men. In the arts, nickel
Is growing rapidly Into favor as a sub,
stitute for silver plating steel, iron and
other metals. Its commercial demand
is rapidly increasing, and as It Is mucn
cheaper than silver, will undoubtedly
be adopted In the manufacture OF many
articles as a substitute for that more
precious metal.

foot station, aud he falling to the HOO.
As soon as the men arrived at the top
the cage was lowered, but men work.

The stock excitement has been the oil
absorbing topic Of the day. The MORN

one of the most tumultuous and excl

to the extent of 1000 shares. Those
who had bought at "a, IS, 90 and 81,
rushed In to realize at $l3, $l2, and
finally gil so. Phoebe, of which l,ls6
shares were sold, fell from 1913 down
70 $32, following the same course. OF
course there are all sorts Of rumors on
the street, and opinions differ, but the
general impression is that the market
is bound to stifen, and orders are COM
ing in upon the brokers from all dlrec-
lions. There Is an unusual number Of
buyers for investment.
Charles Fox was sent up to-day for
trial for making a mistake In the room

There Is a row about jumpers on
