Another Wizard.

CNorNNATTr,. April 19,-William L.
Silvey, the young mechanic who at
the ago of nineteen invented. the in
duction telegraph with which Mr..
Edison has lately created such a
furore by telegraphing from flying
trains, was found to-day bark at work
at his bench in one OF the large
machine shops of this city. He is
deeply engrossed in the domain of
electricity and gives promise Of won
derful future. If he lives he will sup
liant Edison as wizard. This unknown
boy perfected the induction tele-
graph while working on his mothers
farm near Castleton, Ind. He had
wires strung through the apple or
chard and on these, with encourage
ment from no one but his mother,
developed the principle of induction
until he was able to transmit mes
sages from one wire to another forty
feet distant He carried his device
to Indianapolis, twelve miles away,
but being without means or acquaint-
ances was unable to interest any one
it. His story that he could telegraph
between two wires that were strung
on seperate sets of poles forty feet
apart, was not credited even by tele-
graphers, and he was soon forced to
abandon his efforts to introduce the
wonderful discovery. Thus it Law
unheard of until Mr.. Edison got o
Glow to it and applied the principle
to telegraphing from moving trains.
Young Silvey has not been discour.
aged for moment, but has worked
away with tireless industry, and
his genius has produced other
devices equally marvellous. He was
found to-day surrounded by tho tools
and appliances pertaining to his mys-
terious realm. He was finishing an
electric light dynamo which promises
wonders on account of the cheapness
of it's construction. In reply to q
question as to what advantage he
claimed for tho induction telegraph
over the old style, he said: 1.-THE ad-
vantages arc many and important.
With two quart cups Of battery !
could easily send message throug q
resistance equal to 600 miles OF tele-
graph wire, and it would be produced
as loud as any Morse alphabet ever
sounded. Itwould require about 900
cups of battery to send message
the same distance with the old Morse
sounder and key. Another use would
be in sending press dispatches. A
single operator could have the induc-
ton coil OF his instrument wound
with n number of coils of wire, and
by connecting line with each coil
he could send fifty or even one hun.
dred messages in as many ways at
once. An operator in Cincinnati
could sit at his key and send mes
sage to hundred cities without the
aid of relays or any device except the
one locked up in his particular in
strument. In the telegraph system
Of railroads it would be of incalcula-
bic advantage. Telegraphing from
trains is a great achievement,
but / believe it will soon be adapted
TO purposes Of still greater impor-
tance TO commerce and industry"

Mention was made last week of q
combination in Massachusetts formed
by the manufacturers of, and dealers
in liquors, to prevent the passage, or
| if passed, prevent the enforcement,
of a prohibition law. IL turns out to
be o rather huge affair. Thirty-fve
thousand dollars were subscribed at
once, and provision made for increas-
ing the sum to $350,000 This is to
be done by voluntary tax on every
barrel of distilled or fermented liquors
manufactured and sold. Tho amount
of the tax was agreed upon and will
likely be paid. How this enormous
sum is to be usedtis not stated, only
in general terms--to prevent prohi-
bition. AS n matter of course, efforts
will be made to control the elections,
to influence Legislative and executive
officers; and if failing in this, then to
fight the law through every court
that will take cognizance of the mat
ter.
While Justify proclaiming what
they claim, as their rights, and boast
ing of their personal liberty, they
propose to boycott every brewer, dis
tiller, and seller of liquor who does
not join their association. This
means, liberty for themselves, and
despotism and oppression for others.

HOlyOke's Paper Production.

Holyoke is the centre OF paper
manufacturing in the United States.
1t has grown up there on account Of
the excellence Of water, and because
the industry got a start there earlier
than anywhere else. The dearest
and purest water is required in fine
white linen papers. Ten years ago
most Of these papers came from En-
gland One Scotch manufacturer
whose paper is the fashionable writing
paper Of England, formerly had an
American trade Of S500,000 annually.
But between tariffs and improved
paper he now does only about S10,-
600 worth Of business, where il for
merly reached half a million. The
fashionable New York stationers use
Holyoke paper in place Of Scotch or
English All this. too, in spite of
the roputed tendency Of American
society to pattern after the English
IN al things fashionable in England

Jay Gould on the Stand-Iiow hc looks.-
A Dishonest Witness.
Especial to the courlsr.JOurnai. |


WASHINGTON, April 22.-Many
people visited the Capitol to-day to
catch a glimpse of jay Gould. Those
who saw him as he passed along tho
marble corridors and up the the great
west stairway of tho House wing to
tho Election Committee rooms were
10th TO believe that the little, frail
man in q shabby, brown business
suit, with cutaway coat, cheap
speckled necktie, n haggard look and
n rather rickety walk, was the famous
railway magnate and the master OF
tens of millions. The real picture
was 80 different from the ideal that
people turned to each other with
funny expressions. A rather pert
beauty belonging to visiting party
from the West took square look at
Gould as shambled by, and then said
to two comely young female compan-
ions who were also glaring with I'M
restrained curiosity on the owner of
tho millions: "And is that JAY Gould?
Well just you hear me cluok, sisters,
1 wouldn't swap my young man for
him with all his spondulicks." The
trinity of beauty then made their way
to Statuary Hall, giggling about
Gould, and joined their friends. Dur
ing the time Gould occupied the wit
ness stand nearly all the members of
the House dropped in, incidentally,
to get look at tho witness and OBJ
serve his manner of testifying.
Among them was Mr.. Lawyer, of
Chicago, who advocated hanging
Gould to lamp post.
The general opinion is that Gould
was not 'swift witness"-that he
was sly and evasive, and had but
little respect for the Committee. The
latter fact was so obvious that the
observers of the proceedings, who
were packed together like sardines,
prepared for laugh every time he
started to answer o question. When
he coolly informed Chairman Curtin
and his committee that there were no
labor disturbances on the Missouri
Pacific at the date of the resolution
under which they were serving, and
that therefore they had no jurisdic-
tion, both the crowd and the Com
mittoe seemed to think he had said q
smart thing. He did not object,
however, to giving tho Committee
some history as volunteer The
only time in his examination that he
was real candid and explicit was when
describing the interference of the
striking knights of Labor with his
property. This was tender subject,
and, as he warmed to it, ho showed
more life than he would seem to pos
sess. The Committee are but little
wiser than before tho witness took
tho stand to tell the truth and the
whole truth.

COMPENSATION,
Compensation! compensation!',
Ie tha E,,,o. Ioola,,a ,ry

Compensation! compensatory,
Is tho liquor-dcaler's cry,
As they SEQ the peoples freedom
And their bondage drawing nigh;
"Give, OIL give us compensation
For tho losses we may meet;
Let us have remuneration
For past gains--to us 30 sweet"
Let them first mako restitution
OF the plumber that they gain
From tho mothers, wives, and children,
OF the men their trade has slam;
Let them give remuneration
For the lives by IL destroyed,
Then wen talk of compensation;
Until their claim is void.
Let them show the Compensation"
Which they show to those they wrong
To the poor, by drink made poorer;
To the weak, who once were strong.
Who will pay the wrotched outcast
For the ruin drink has wrought?
Who will pay the drink children
That by sin are sold and bought?
Who will compensate" the mother
For her boy by drink laid low?
What will pay her for the anguish
She has suffered from that blow2
Who will pay for sullied honor,
Blasted hopes ard ruined life;
For future full of terror,
For past with horrors rifep
"Woc to him." says God in anger,
"Who shall give his neighbor drink;
Who shall tempt tho weak to ruin,
And his soul to hell shall sink!"
God IL just; His truth eternal;
And He careth for His own.
Law of man that dares dishonor
Word of God shall be o'orthrown.
God is just; just compensation
At His hand they will receive;
And His judgments stand forever
From His sentence no reprieve!
Let us leave to Him the measure
OF their guilt and its reward,
While we work to crush tho traffic
That drives souls from Him, their Lord
National Temperance Advocate.

The family Of EEstaing has had the
right Of bearing the court of arms OF
the royal family of France, (trois

Bowins, which was fought in the
year 1914 These coats Of arms were
given to Count DEstaing as a re-
ward for having saved the life OF his
