Repeating re,e<ran..

Telegraph companies persistent1y print
at the top Of their message blanks a
warning that they are not responsible
for mistakes in transmission, and they
also proffer, in very small type, the ad-
vice that .'to guard against mistakes or
delays the sender of message should
order it repeated; that is. telegraphed
back to the originating Office for com
parison," at an additional charge of one
half the regular rate. The notice has
steadily adorned the blanks in spite of
court decisions that the companies are
responsible for errors, whether the mes
sages are repeated or not, and in spite OF
the additional fact that it is rarely read
casual. Nobody ever seems to accept
the advice regarding repetition.
An operator, speaking of the old no
tice recently, said that in an experience
of fifteen years he had never seen but
one message bearing the order to repeat
and it was regarded as great curiosity
This message fell a victim to excessive
caution. 1t was bound from New Yorl
to San Francisco. 1t contained but one
word, the little word Yes" It was re
hgiously repeated back from every relay
station between the Atlantic and Pacific
but by some misfortune, due to a SECOND
of abstraction on the part of an oper
ator, or to timely but unfortunate
''fiip" of the instrument, the word wa.
changed to No" A big row ensued
and an operator in New York nearly los
his position.-New York Times.

Healtbfulness of the Electric Light.

The healthfulness of the electric light
was recently illustrated in a striking
manner. Some railway men were dis
cussing in a car factory the relative ad-
vantages of illumination by gas and
electricity, and the advocates of each
system remained uncopvinced by the
other. Finally the superintendent of the
factory suggested that the matter could
easily be put to a practical test, and
turning on the gas in the smoking COM
partment of an adjacent car he invited
the officials inside. It is said that their
stay was of the briefest, for in a very
few minutes even the strongest of them
had to succumb to the heat and oppres-
sion and to seek the outer air.
A like test, made in compartment
lighted by incandescents, was attended
by very different result, and the ver-
dict which followed was unanimous for
the cool, wholesome light. This will
readily be understood by those who, ac-
customed to the electric light, have oc-
casion to sit IN gaslit rooms in which
the sense-of heavineas often becomes op
pressive.-New York Telegram

THIRTEEN YEARS IN ARCTIC SEAS.
Terrible Discovery of n Sea Captain Over
One HUNDRED Years Ago.

Terrible Discovery of Sea Captain Over
One Hundred Years Ago.
One evening in the middle of August,
1775, Capt. Warren, the master of
Greenland whale ship. found himself be-
cal1ned among an immense number of
icebergs in about q degs. north latitude.
They were of immense height and wedged
together, and a succession of snow>cev-
cred peaks appeared behind them as far
as the eye could reach, showing that the
ocean was completely blocked up in that
quarter.
Capt Warren did not feel altogether
satisfied with his situation, but there be
ing no wind he could not move, and he
therefore kept strict watch, knowing
that he would be safe SO long as the bergs
kept their situation. One night after Il
violent storm the captain found that his
ship had sustained no serious injury, and
that the accumulated icebergs had be-
come disarranged and separated, and
that kind of canal had been formed
through which his ship could pass.
After he had proceeded d few miles a
ship made its appearance about midday.
The sun shone brightly at the time.
At first the bergs prevented the cap
masts, but he was struck with the strange
manner in which her sails were disposed
and with the dismantled aspect of her
yards and rigging. She continued to &c
before the wind, and then grounded and
remained motionless. The captains GU
riosity was SO much excited that he i'm

Neither fuel nor wood could be fount
anywhere, and the captain was prevent
ed by the superstitious prejudices of hi
seamen from examining the vessel a
minutely as he could wish. He there

to his own ship. and steered to the south

THE NEW MASONIC BLOCK.
It Will be Three Stories High, and have a
Frontage Of Eighty-five Feet.
The Masonic Hall in the Third Story will
be the Finest Outside the Cities. {

Or Tuesday night the Masonic Lodge
of this city held a meeting to consider a
proposition from Messrs. Klossner and
Lind & Hagberg, by which the lodge
would be allowed to erect and own 3
third story on their new building on
the site of the old Pennsylvania House.
The offer was so liberal and so willing
ly given, that no opposition to its ac-
ceptance prevailed, and by unani-
nous vote the lodge decided to build.
A building committee consisting OF Jos.
A. Eckstein, A. Blanchard, 0. M. o.
son, G. ". II. Heideman and Ernst
Brandt was appointed to work with the
trustees of the lodge in carrying out the
proposed plans. ......- ~.
This step insures a three story block,
easily the finest in the city. The plans
have already been drawn, and the ar
chitect has succeeded in giving the build
ing a substantial, plain but handsome
front. The first floor will be divided
into three store rooms, two of which
will be connected. The latter will be
used by Mr.. Klossner, and the remain
ing store will be rented out The Sec
ond story will be used largely for Of
tices. Lind & Hag berg will use their
entire floor for law offices, and the ar
rangemept as seen IN the plans is GER
tainly admirable. Four offices will front
the street over MIR. Klossner's stores,
and 70 the rear of these will be large
storage room.
The Masonic Hall will occupy the en-
tire third floor, the dimensions being IS
by so feet. 1t will be divided into a
main hall, so by 30, banquet room, SO
by 20, three reception rooms, an anti
room, kitchen and eight closets. The
size of the building and the arrange
ment of the rooms is such as to make
the hall equal for its purposes to any
outside of st. Paul and Minneapolis or
even to any within those cities. It is
intended that the whole building shall
be heated by steam. On the whole, the
structure will constitute the greatest
improvement that New Ulm is FORUM
ate enough to possess, and all credit is
due to the enterprise of the projectors.

Dead Heroes Remembered.

There is something about Memorial
Day which makes it ennobling above all
the days we celebrate. The custom of
meeting once year to do honor in song
and speech to those who fell that ma
tion's union might be maintained, and
to strew fresh flowers over the graves
of those who belong not alone to us but
to the nation as we'll, is one that cannot
help but create lasting impression up
on all and particularly upon the young,
in whom, should the occasion require,
it would manifest itself in patriotic i'm
pulses. On that day, only the noble
deeds are remembered, and upon each
and all alike fall the touching tributes
of respect.
In New Ulm, there was the usual
parade and exercises in the Turner Hall
Park. The line of procession was head
ed by the Concordia Band, followed by
Company. A, school children, Mayor
Wagner and members of the council,
invalid veterans, and Major Jos,
Eckstein, orator Of the day, in car
riages, Hecker Post, Burg's Battery,
and citizens. Arriving at the park, sew
eral songs were sung by the mixed
choir, and the citizens listened to an
able address by Mr.. Eckstein. Remarks
were also made by freeman Talbot and
Col. VIM. Pfaender, the exercises con.
Guiding with salute from the battery in
honor of the dead.
At the public schools, May 29th was de.
voted to commemo Grating the day almost
sacred from the recollections Of the past
and the duties Of the present, and the
exercises of the pupils were Of an inter
esting character. Besides singing of
patriotic songs and national and mar
tial hymns, the program included se-
lect readings on Memorial Day by Olga
and Otto Wicherski, an ESSAY on the
Battle Of New Ulm by Hugo Roos and
one, entitled Our Monument by Al
bert Pfaender, recitation by James
McKittrick and appropriate quotations
by the First and Second grades.
A feature of the decoration in the
park was painting by Alexander
Schwendinger, donated expressly for
the Memorial exercises by H.A. Snbilia.

During the Civil War the North grew
great and the South was educated. New
er before in the history of mankind was
there such period of moral exaltation.
The names that shed the brightest, the
whitest light on the pages of our his.
tory became famous then. Against the
few who were actuated by base and un-
| worthy motives let US set the great army
that fought for the public, the millions
who barred their breasts to the storm, the
hundreds and hundreds of thousands
who did their duty honestly, nobly. and
went back to their wives and children
with no thought except to preserve the
liberties of themselves and their fellow
men. Of course, there were some men
who did not do their duty-some men
false to themselves and to their country.
No one excepts to find sixty-five mil.
lions of saints in America. A few years
ago a lady complained to the president
of a Western railroad that brakeman
had spoken to her with great rudeness.
The president expressed his regret at
the incident, and said, among other
things: Madam, you have no idea how
difficult it is for us to get gentlemen to
fill all those places. = It is hardly TO
to be expected that the American peo-
pie should excel all others in the arts,
in poetry, and in fiction. We have
been very busy taking possession Of the
republic. 1t is hard to overestimate the
courage. the industry, the self-denial
it has required to fell the forests, to sub
due the fields, to construct the roads,
and to build the countless homes.
What has been done is certificate Of
the honesty and industry Of our people.
1t is not true that zone of the unwrit-
ten notices of our business morals seem
to say in the pla1nest phraseology pos
sible: Successful wrong is right. =
Men in this country are not esteemed
simply because they are rich; inquiries
are made as to how they use it. The
American people do not fall upon their
knees before the the golden calf; the
worst that can be said is that they think
too much Of the gold Of the calf and
this distinction is seen by the calves
themselves. From Is Avarice Triumph
