BIG TELEPHONE FEAT.
From BuGaIo to Paterson, N. J.-Tiircc
Hundred ana Fifty Miles.

Buffalo has had the honor of
telephone communication with the Bell Ex-
change at Paterson, N. ]. The distance be-
tween the two cities is three hundred and fifty
miles. The series of experiments made were con-
Quoted by Mr.. j. +. Noonan, Paterson manager

pany, who claims to have discovered method
of adjusting batteries so as to produce good re-
suits in communicating over long distances
The Western Union Telegraph Company lent
No. gauge wire running between the two cities.
Connection was made with the central office
in the Buffalo Exchange, where telegraphic COM
munication could be obtained Although the
results of the test were not wholly satisfactory TO
Mr. Noonan, enough has been accomplished to
show the value Of his discoveries, and TO insure
the possibility Of long. distance telephoning. Lis
teners in the Buffalo Exchange could distinctly
hear Mr.. Noonan's "Halloo, Builhlow p and songs
sung at Paterson were recognized at this end of
the line. In talking the voice could be plainly
heard hut the words could not be distinguished
amid the heavy sputtCring and snappiHg noises of
the wire, caused by the heavy battery and by lin
duction" from the Western Union wires running
near the telephone wire. Te the latter cause,
probably, is due the greatest trouble Telephone
men feel confident that If wire can be obtained
remote from the wires devoted TO telegraph bust
ness convorsaton'can be easily carried on under
Noonan's method, AS II was, the results Of the
experiments are considered Of great practical
value.

Suprcfne Judges.

As the highest court of the land
changes by reason of the death and re-
signation Of its members, it becomes q
subject of grave consequence what shall
be the relations of the new members to
some public questions. We have hitherto
thought most Of the probable opinions of
judges on the relations between the Ma
tional and State governments The line
between Federal and State authority has
been established and changed so often,
however, that one is compelled to believe
that judges like other men, sometimes
see things as they desire to have them
rather than as they are. Take an ex-
ample: The original Constitution pro-
hibitcd the States from freeing fugitive
slaves. The Fourteenth Amendment
prohibited the States from denying
equal protection to citizens. The
old forbade the States to interfere
with slavery. The new forbade
them 90 interfere with freedom.
Democratic judges, who found in the
former an abundant grant of power TO
Congress TO protect one mans possession
Of another, could not find in the latter
any grant of power TO protect the liber-
ated mans possession of himself. Words
which would maintain slavery were
found insufficient to maintain freedom.
Many like instances might be cited. All
parties have by turns claimed and denied
powers TO the National Government and
to the States, as they have by turns con-
trolled the one or the other. All have
been in favor of porer and willing to
draw it from almost any source.
The old quarrels over the rights of the
States are ended, but new ones may arise
In the struggle TO come between the
people and the corporations they have
created for the control of the right Of
travel through the country State author
ity over the subject will be alternately
claimed and denied by the corporations
according to its bearing upon their in
terests.
1t would be a misfortune if any man
should be appointed to the Supreme
bench who would be swayed by popular
passion or who had closed his mind tc
argument upon questions Of law il
would be an equal misfortune if any man
should be appointed who, either from
habit or subserviency, should be unable tc
distinguish between private property and
great public franchise temporarily en-,
joyed by private persons or corporations
The court as now constituted has sus
tanned State legislation controlling rail.
road rates of toll. 1t is TO be hoped that
no man will be selected by the President
who can see private property in the right
of way over the public domain or who
believes the sovereign right to take toll
over public roads can be alienated by the
people.

WORSE THAN DEVILS,
How the Apache indians Tortured "a
nenth YonnE H.uat.


Las Vegas correspondent Of the Gin
cnnati Enquirer deals with the oulrages commit
ted upon Pugh before his death, some OF which,
however, he is unable to describe because of their
revolving indecency. He says: "I went TO the
place where the stage wGs stopped and where
young Pugh was captured. There were with me
some Of the party who had found the young mans
body, and they took me over the trail that led to
the spot where the murder was committed. This
was two miles from the scene Of capture. Every
five hundred yards or so there were imprints In
the ground Of mans knees, and the guides ex-
planned that at these intervals the prisoner had
sunk down from exhaustion and TO imploro his
savage capors 10 spare his life or TO put him out
of misery by killing him.
II lie PLEADED FOR LIFE AT FIRST,
he begged as hard for death at last for over the
last mile ofthe trail was sprnkcd coplous stream
ofblood, and the sequel showed that the Indians
had committed such an atrocious outrage upon
their prisoner that no man thus mutilatcd could
hope or wish TO live minute thereafter The body
was foundby the Mexican soldiers on the day sue
oeeding the murder. II was swollen TO prodigious
proportions, and an examination revealed the
sickcning extent Of the mutations perpetrated
by the dastardly cowaTds IL was while suffering
from such barbarous torture that the demons, his
captors, had forced him to walk over mile. When
he could no longer drag himself along the brutal
Apaches iillcd HIS body with bullets and leit him
to rot. When tho Mexican soldiers found the
corpse they dug a hole with their bayonets, the
only tools they had, and buried tho swollen, dis

next day the Mexicans discovered that the coyotes
HAD DuG THE BODY UP,
and had stripped 1t of the greater portion of its

after which stone and cross were placed In

committed this outrage were supposed TO be good
Indians, and were out Of their own bailiwick

that they were licensed to hunt human beings

women. The hell-hound violated the persons of
the women in most fiendish manner, after which

The bulletins yesterday showed that
the President passed the most comforta-
bic day since he was shot and that his
case is progressing favorably. The
alarm felt for three days has nov
been entirely dissipated by the
assurances of the attending surgeons,
and it is sincerely TO be hoped
that nothing may happen to impede the
Presidents recovery. Confidence in the
ultimate favorable result is expressed by
the consulting surgeons, and their opin-
ion has operated to allay public ex-
element, rs both Drs. Agnew and
Hamilton could not afford to risk their
professional regulations, acquired by long
years of faithful and conscientious study
and practice, by making statements con-
trary to their honest belief.

Many thoughtful men believe that even
If the President should nav die Of his wounds his
assassin could not (or rather, would not be con-
victed Of murder in the first degree. The lawyers
would come in with their plea that the shet did
not kill the President but that his death resulted
from the mnltrcatment of his physicians, and,
by their hair.splitting sophistry this point
they would so bambsozle and confuse the jury
that they would be sure to bring in a verdict of
murder in the second degree, manslaughter or
even assault with intent to kill. Scores upon
scores Of red handed murderers have escaped the
gallows by such special pleas and hair. splitting
