THE telephone mania, which has engaged
the attention of the scientific men of the
East for some time past, has at last reached
Diamond. Within the past week quite a
number Of experiments have been made,
which proved quite successful. The device
used is very simple, consisting only Of two
ordinary two pound fruit cans, and q Irvine
cord. A hole is made in one end Of the
can large enough for the mouth, the string
is passed through a small hole in the ether
end and knotted to prevent its drawing out.
"A can is arranged at each end of the line,
and thus messages are transmitted q distance
Of 400 feet and upwards. An ordinary tone
is carried further than it is possible for one
to make himself understood by raising the
voice, and both words and songs are trans
tones. rHe

Its Passage by the s~enate-Closing Scenes
Senator Edmunds, Etc, Etc.
The Washington correspondent of the
was so overwhelming that it gives the bill
q fine start in the house. The all night
session will prove memorable in many re-
spects. Morton, feeble and worn, rose at
2 a. m. to make one of the most energetic
speeches he ever made. 1t was impossible
not to admire his pluck, fighting, as he
did, at such fearful odds. Game to the
last, i'll as he is, he Sat the entire night out,
and so did Conkling. Edmunds rose to
close debate, about 8 o'clock, and in less
than five minutes all the sleepers had
risen from the lounges and gathered around
him. He was terrible in his exposure of
the inconsistenoies Of Morton and Sher-
man, bu. when he protested against their
suspicions of his untaithfulness as a repub-
llcan, he was SO pathetic that Morton
could not control his feelings. The speech
was simply overwhelming, and the bill
passed with very little genuine opposition.
1t vas about five o'clock, says the WASH
lngton telegram TO the Boston Herald,
when Mr.. Edmunds who had for some
time been reclining, half slumbering, ia his
seat, slowly arose and addressed the chair.
He had spoken but q few words when the
weary, drowsy senators aroused them
selves as if summontd to the contest anew.
Morton, pale, sad and bIt KIN down,
emerged from the cloak room WI ere he haC
been resting, and with great al d pain u
effort hobbled to his seat. s Sherman, sui
len and subdued, followed the seps of hi
chief. Sargent, their supple ally, sought
his seat beside them, and these three ex-
tremists par excellence turned their faces,
detected and respondent, toward their
great antagonist. In the meantime Thur
man, who had been quietly SHOCKING on q
sofa, took a chair. in front of Edmunds ;
Dayard likewise awOke from his slumbers,
aud Conkling, who had thrown off his
usual imposing dignity by ~elevating his
feet above the desk in front of him and was
toying with an unlighted cigar, resumed his
customary precise attitude. Blaine
came forth from the cloak room and
didn't take a seat neariC onkling Hamlin,
even, wasn't Indifferent, and crept out
from some %antediluvian retreat. Dawes
and Boutwell,, usually crouched down in
their chairs almost invisible, could be plain
ly seen from the reporters gallery. All
were there listening intently within two
minutes after the opening of Mr.. Edmunds'
speech. 1t was an interesting scene there,
Just as the darkness was giving way to the
dawn, and just as the night OF political
hate and bitterness was retreating, it may
be, before the light of a day OF reconcilla-
ton and a purer patriotism. OF all the
speeches made during the long, wearisome
debate, this last of Mr.. Edmunds was the
most impressive and effective. He spoke
with great feeling, and his emotion at times
we'll nigh choked his utteranoes. The con-
test was over the instant the wal of words
was ended, and the first name was called
for the ayes and noes-47 to II. 1t was a
great victory.

No other manufacturer dare give his
medicine as severe a test. His agents have
for over two years sold Shiloh's Consump-

any patty to use two-thirds of a bottle and
if IL should not have the desired effect,
could be returned, and money refunded.
The proprietor states with pride, that not
one bottle in 800 has in any case failed.
For Consumption, Chronic Coughs, Colds,
Group, Asthma, Bronchitis, Whooping
Cough, and all Lung diseases It is wonder

these, 1t is not strange that the medicine
has gained a popularity never before

The selection of a Judge of the supre

The selection of a judge of the supreme
court of the United States for q political
office is not so much of an anomoly as may
be supposed. John Jay, the first chief
justice, was, while on the bench, sent as
envoy extraordinary to Great Britain.
Oliver Ellsworth, also chief justice, was
sent as an envoy to France in 1899. John
Rutledge, OF South Carolina, was trans
ferred from the supreme court Of the Uni
ted States to that of his own state. John
Mclean, of Ohio, was nominated and con-
frmed as secretary of war. Samuel Nelson
was appointed a member Of the joint high
aowunisgnn which pepotiaied the treaty OF
while on the bench, were members of state
constitutional conventions. And Judges
Mclean and Salmon p. Chase, notwith-
standing their judicial positions, were, like
Judge Davis, standing candidates for the
presidency. But, after all, the custom is
one more honored in the breach than in the
observance.
