WHERE WE PLAYED

OF all tho world, the dearest spot,
That memory fond gives thought today
Is one which ne'r can be forgot,
Where with others used to play.
My mind oft wanders to it vet;
And then, as in the days of yorc,
meet with those there have met,
And play before the cottage door.
There often. when The sun was low,
And evening shadows ran out long,
As westward fast the light would 60,
And night-birds sang their mellow song,
Wed meet In childish glee to play
The games so oft played DER and DER,
AND pass the evening hours away
With Joy before the cottage door.
With marbles, tops. and other toys,
That children always love so well,
Which add far more to youths bright Joy
Than either tongue or pen can tell,
we played; glad songs in glee were sung
Sweet joys, we never more can see;
Such pleasures are but for the Young,
And only once we young can be.
Long years since then have pas sed away.
And some of those whom the c met,
Beneath the sod in silence lay,
While others linger with me Vet.
The cottage stands the same to-day
AS in those happy days of yore,
And other children gladly play
AS we did then before lis door

talkirg to it's subtle correspondent. As
it was, however, tho north western
brethren made promp and ii ,eral dis
count on the face of the interview, and
the delegation from South Carolina, had
no difficulty i'll explaining to enduring
brothers of the West, that if the good
Senator were correctly reported, he was
evidently giving view at long range.
Those who have been in the field in close
ouch with Alliance people know that
the Order is christian organization:
and hence could have no dealing with
the DeVll-upon no terms aud under no
circumstances. These Western breth.
rem readily caught on to the idea that
had our good brother, the Senator, been
out iecturlng and working for the Order
as OF yorc, he would not have fallen into
the bad style Of eplthet used on this oc-
c"slon--to say nothing Of the inaccur-
acY OF his statement.
The brother was unfortunate IN his
cnolce ot style; but he was fortunate in
his selection of time for the utterance.
when several well informed delegates
from South Carolina were on hand TO
assure the few who gave any attention
at all TO the report, that it was only an
eNtrayagant form of expression; and
that South Carolina Alllancemen would
have nothing to do with the Devil in
any gulsc whatever. There are not
lacking those who still believe the whole
interview a 'fake" because of it's slur-
ring reference 10 two Alliance brothers
by name. BY resolution the Supreme
Council decided in future to exclude
State Business Agents from member
snip. The question OF endorsement of
the Union Company's proposition was
not received with universal favor. MANY
regard it in the light of high monopoly,
which it unquestionably is.
McAllist sr's charges against DR.. Ma.
cune, were made special order, and at
ter mature consideration laid upon the
table.
The sub-treasury demand at critical
)uncture was put to separate vote and
unanimously endorsed, amid clapping
hands and tossing hats. In tact the in
telllgcnt insistence upon this demand
grows more and more noteworthy. The
slngleness of purpose and the cordial
fraternity exhibited throughout the meet
ing prevailed to the end, and the BODY
adjourned Saturday t, meet next wear
probably in Atlanta. ~

WRITTEN IN ST. PAUL.
Messages Sent from Chicago Repro
duced in Autograph by Electricity.

duced in Autograph by Electricity.
From the Chicago Ne,cs
Electricity carried autographs letters
yesterday between Chicago and st. Paul
One writer sat IN the Office of the North
American telegraph company. at the cor
ner Of Clark and jackson streets, and his
correspondent answered him from the ninth
| floor Of the Pioneer Press building in st.
Paul, over 420 miles distant.
Before each man was placed a writing
| telegraph" machine and the letter was
| written on a narrow tape of paper, which
was fed beneath fountain pen that traced
the characters on the moving ribbon in
good round hand without hitch or hinder
ance. 1t was not good day for test. as
the damp weather was an adverse coDdi0
ton, and if the devise worked ell under
such circumstances 1t is expected to work
better when conditions are more favorable.
The exterior view of the machine exbib-
its no complicated mechanism, for there is
but a nicely finished box about sixteen
inches square and six inches deep, having
reel of paper ribbon on one side, stretching
over the top of the box through pair Of
feeding rollers on the other side.
Resting on the ribbon is a fountain pen
with round stub point, ATTACHED to
slender rod coming up through hole FIVE
Fights OF an inch square. Opposite the pen
is another square hole of the same size,
through which stylus Is connected by
ball and socket joint with another slender
rod, which rises from the interior meehan-
ism.
In sending message the Chicago oper.
ator used the stylus as he would lead PEN
Gil, only he wrote in the air. But the mo-
tion was carried down by the connecting
rod to the transmitter, by which the pen of
the 81. raul machine was actuated.
The stylus of the machine moves by its
connecting rod over the transmitter, which
is divided into thirty-two contact points.
The transmitter is connected with two
electro-magnets set at right angles to each
other and provided with a double armattre
electrically insulated. AS the stylus moves
over the transmitter it "cuts in" and ''cuts
out" the contact points, which range in
electrical resistance from nothing to 5000
ohms. AS the magnets thus excited have
constantly varying resistances the double
armature, nicely balanced on long pivot
and carrying the fountain pen, is made to
| move in the double magnetic field between
the magnets, and as the forces are contend
ing forces motion is produced moving in
liDes which are the resultants Of the two
forces.
The stylus moves rapidly and thus gives
such a combination Of forces that any form
| from straight line to a circle is produced.
The feeding device for the paper ribbon is
run by clockwork, and as it moves under
| the stylus the characters are formed, al
| though the words are connected by the con.
tlnuous line. Some little practice is neces-
sary to produce legibls writing, but the
operation is simple, and yesterdays test was
satisfactory to the electricians who wit
messed it.
