Loud Speaking TeIephone.

LAWRENCE, KAN, February 13.-Professor
Lucien I. Blakes professor of physics and
electrical engineering in the state university
at this place, has just succeeded in a series of
remarkable experiments by which he now
has loud speaking telephone. The profes-
SCR has been working at the matter for a long
time and has the satisfaction of hearing the
voices IN the telephone at distance of ten or
fifteen feet from the receiver. At an expert
mental exhibition given by the professor a
few days ago he was enabled to give large
number of friends a concert by attaching a
music-box TO one end of the wire and attach
ing his loud speaking apparatus to the other
end the music was very distinctly heard and
the visitors could all hear at once.
The professor Is working hard to complete
the discovery and intends to make an exper-
iment soon by connecting Kansas City and
Topeka and then giving large room full of
people a concert from the other end of the
line. He thinks that he will have no trouble
IN doing so, as his crude experiments have
succeeded SO admirably, and he will at once
improve his attachment. While experiment
ing on this he made remarkable discovery
in regard TO the diaphragms, which he thinks
will revolutioniZe the matter of diaphragms
and telephones generally. He was not ready
to give this matter TO the public, but thought
he would surprise the world in a few months
The professor Is pleased with his discoveries
and Will give a scientific report of it in a
few days.

A StrILoa Ma RssmIt

ST. JOSEPH, No, February Pit has been
announced that the Grand Island and Union
Pacific roads would accede to the demands
of the joint committee from the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen and Order of Railway
Conductors, who submitted their new sched-
ule of wages to the managers of those roads.
ms announcement was premature and in
correct. Tho management of the roads de
elm ed, point blank, to grant the demands,
and strike seems probable.
General Manager Robinson, of the Grand
Island, stated that the same demands had
been made upon the Union Pacific that had
been made upon his road, and that both
would stand together in resisting them. The
principal objection by the roads to the de-
mands submitted by the employees was to
granting passenger conductors an increase in
salary from 500 to s125 per month and to
substituting new schedule of brakemen S
wages for the old one.
A new member of the JOINT committee from
the Brotherhood of Railway trainmen and
Order of Railway Conductors intimRted that
the men were as ready to stand firm as
the railway homogeneous, and strike on
both the Grand Island and Union Pacific
might result.

IN every class of society you will
find toadies-men who will resort to
flattery and discrimination to carry
their points. They will stoop to con-
quer, they viii crook their pregnant
knees where thrift may follow fawn-
ing" 1t is a common observation
and remark that many men who have
no visible occupations or business en-
gagement, yet seem to get in favor
and encouragement by getting in the
graces Of men of means and generous
impulses. They will impose upon
their best friends, and gain a subsist-
ence which they are loath to earn or
deserve. They have no honesty in
their principles, no sincerity in their
hearts. Such men are bane to So
ciety, and waste their lives in use
lessness, and give no attention to the
culture or improvement of their
minds, but hang on to whatever they
can get hold Of to keep them up and

WASHINGTON, D. c., February I'M.
Howard, of St. Louis, addressed the commit
tee of agriculture. He favored the anti-op-
ton bill declaring that dealing in futures was
the most dissolute kind of gambling that had
ever emanated from the brain of man. The
grain ring was the strongest ring in this
country, and was impoverishing the nation
This question rose above the questions of
politics or religion. There was no differences
between the hoard of trade" and the bucket
shop" except that one sold bI1shel and the
other a bucketful. Throughout the country
there were bank failures and entertainments,
and nine-tenths of the money stolen went in
to this pot of futures.

IN Colonial TINES.

A curious postscript was once added
to letter by General Israel Putnam.
A spy named Palmer, sent by Sir
Henry Clinton, the British COM
mander, had been detected furtively
collecting information of the force
and condition OF the post at Peekskill,
and had undergone a military trial.
A vessel of war came up the Hudson
in all haste, and landed a flag OF
truce at Verplanck's Point, by which
a message was transmitted to Putnam
from Clinton, claiming the said
Palmer as lieutenant in the British
service. Putnam replied: HEAD
QUARTERS, It'll August, I777. Edward
Palmer, an oficer in the enemy's
service, was taken as a spy lurking
within our lines; he has been tried as
a spy, and shall be executed as a spy;

Woman's interstate Conference.

WOman'S interstate conference.
KANSAS CITY, No., February 12.-The
woman's interstate conference held here has
proved an immense success.
The audiences for the afternoon and two
evening meetings have been very large, the
Congregational church being crowded to the
last inch of standing room.
Wonderful enthusiasm has been expressed
by the people, and the speakers have sur
passed themselves ineloquence, wit and logic.
Three organizations were formed-the Mis-
souri, State Suffrage association, the Kansas
City local and the Wyandotte county, Kansas,
organization. Mrs. Virginia Hedges, of
Marrensburg, was elected president of the
missouri State association, and Mrs. May d.
Clark Is at the head of the Wyandotte county,
Kansas. The Kansas City organization starts
out with 100 charter members, Ms. Kersey
Coates being president.
Miss Shaw has captivated Kansas City, as
she does every place she speaks. Miss Flor
ence Balgarine has been a great favorite,
combining with Oratorical talent of high or
der, very progressing appearance. Mrs.
Mary Seymour Howell appears and speaks
very gracefully. Mrs. Clara c. Hoffman, of

Brown, of Salina, spoken of as the youngest
woman IN the work. She is said to be about
. years of age and shows great promise.
When Mrs. Johns declared the conference
closed she intimated that this, the first
woman's interstate conference of Kansas and
Missouri, Will not be the last, and that there
Is an intention of making these meetings an
nual. The reorganization of the Missouri
Suffrage association IN good old Missouri

WAsHHaToz, D. c., February 12.-There
has been substantial agreement reached by
the wool and wooden special committee of the
democratic majority of the house committee
on ways and means on the provisions of the
wool bill. This special committee, by agree
ment among the democratic members, was
charged with the duty of considering the
Springer wool bill, drafting any proposed
notifications, and the gathering Of special
information relating to wool growing and
wooden manufacture. Its members have
agreed upon the changes in the duties which
they will recommend, and a conference of
the democratic members of the committee
has been called, at which the matter will be
formally considered. As the special com
mittee members are five out of ten demo

few South American countries where
they are still admissible, but even
these countries Will soon be shut

citizens Of civilized countries reside
for purposes OF trade have their for
