CABLING MADE EASY.
Transmission or Dispatches Made Easy
by New Invention.


New York World.
Electricians In this city are greatly inter-
ested in discovery which has just been
made by III. Willot, Government Inspector
OF Telegraphs in Paris, and as the result OF
which it is claimed that within few weeks
one will be able TO send cable message
from New York to Paris with the same
facility and celebrity that one now sends a
message from Paris to Versailles.
Hitherto such celebrity has been unattan-
able and for obvious reasons. Though for
years experts have been striving to find a
remedy the submarine cable has retained
the qualities of a condenser. and after each
emission OF the current has remained
charged with electricity for certain time,
during which it has been found impGs-
sibe to send any new signal with
the requisite clearness. AS result
the currents are feeble, and the
Instruments employed in aerial telegrapLy
proving ineffective a galvanometer is used
and the oscillations corresponding TO the
Morse alphabet are automatically recorded.
BY this method message cannot be sent
from Algiers to Paris in much less time
than two hours aud a half, of which two
minutes are required for the transmission
of the electric current and ten for the trans
latiOn OF the cablegram.
Nj. Willot's aim has for years been to in
vent an instrument which. being placed at
the two terminal points of q cable, would
receive signals from an ordinary instrH-
ment and convey them across the cable
without being influenced by condensation.
In this aim he claims to have succeeded and,
as proof of his statement, he points to GER
tain experiments which have been made be-
tween Marseiles and Algiers. By the cable
between these two places, which is
thousand kilometres in length and has an
average capacity of sixty dispatches an
boar, NJ. Wilot has been able to send 100
dispatches an hour with the Hughes ns,ru-
ment and 200 with the Wheatstone instru-
ment. The same satisfactory result was
also obtained in telegraphiDg directly from
Algiers to Paris.
Experiments are also to be made on the
cable from Hayre to New York, which is
500 kilometers in length, the object being
TO ascertain whether the new invention will
prove available in the case OF long dis
tances. Mr.. Willot is confident of success,
and maintains that by tie use of his nstru-
ment IL will be possible to send a hundred
dispatches an hour over trans. Atlantic
cable which Is more than three times the
number now sent. He is also confident
that the number of cable dispatches will be
largely increased by the use of his instru-
ment. On these points he certainly can
claim to speak with authority, as il is he
who some years ago invented the instru-
ment which is known to electricians as the
WillOt relay.

FLOGGED BY Her FATHER.
Acts of Great Cruelty Related
by a Little Girl.
Although Severely Beaten, Rosie Musgrava
Pleads Successfully TO Prevent Her
Cruel Parents Arrest.

Pathetic, indeed, is the story related by
Rosie Musgraye. aged Is years.
Doubly unfortunate is the girl. She has
no mother, ana her father appears to be a
most inhuman parent.
Rosie is a frail, little creature. and she
shivered with fright and weakness Thurs
day night as she ran up to Officer Greedy at
the Mission and asked him for protection.
The officer directed her to the home of
Secretary HolDrook of The Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children, who
lives at S2l Clipper street.
Upon being admitted TO the house it was
noticed that she was hungry, cold and
limped with the pain from many bruises on
her body.
When the poor girl had been properly
cared for she told why she had left the
home OF her father, Thomas Musgraye, at
Twenty-fOurth anu Church streets.
She began by saying that her father IS q
jeweler and keeps store at Sixteenth and
Mission streets.
"Some time ago." said Rosie as she strug
gled in vain TO repIess her sobs, my
mother died and father married again. Ny
stepmother never whipped me- but she was
always finding fault. and when she COM
planned TO my father he beat me terribly,
Every day at noon | was sent TO take
my Iather his dinner. On wednesday my
stepmother told me to cook some onions
and potatoes, but they were not done in
time, so when ! took the food to the store
she sent along note saying 1t was late on
account Of my idleness.
THAT night when father returned he
punished NE fearfully. He took big
strap. doubled it, and after tying knot in
the end beat me over the limbs and body
until screamed in terror
LAS soon as could get away l ran out of
the house, crawled under the front steps
and slept there all night.
"Cold and hunger compelled me to return
to the house in the morning. Then my
father gave me another beating with the
strap. That is why | ran TO the policeman
and asked him to protect me"
The girls story was substantial ed by the
bruises and welts.
Secretary Holbrook said he would arrest
the brutal parent, but Rosie pleaded for her
father. She asked that he be allowed to go
unpublished because IL arrested he could
not provide for her stepmother and baby
brother.
SO successfully did the little girl plead
that Holbrook promised not toarrest Mus
grave.
lie will apply for letters of guardianship
over the girl and take care of her until he
can procure Der home with some respec-
table family.
Musgraye denies that he was brutal to his
daughter. He says that he merely chas-
tised her to correct her faults

quersd-And Evelina Is Lost
FOREVER.

Three short weeks ago and Shaughnessy
and Close we're bosom friends. They were
perfectly inseparable.
They ate and talked and slept together.
ShaughneSsy went so far as to change his
place of business and come down 10 Closes
Office that lie might work all day beside his
friend
1t was good 10 feel they were near each
other. There was no guile in this friend

So they chose them two seconds and set

SPLENDID CARPETS.

Paris Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph.
President Carnot and his family are safely
established at Fontainebleau and are prob
ably enjoying to the full the spacious apart
ments Of the palace. as well as their daily
drives in the forest. 1he present ruler of
France is altogether c0nsiderate Of the
wants and wishes of the holiday makers
and the foreign tourists who come to visit
Fontainebleau The suites of private apart
ments are altogether separate from the his
torical rooms Of the palace. l mean to make
pilgrimage thither shortly in order 20 see
two wonderful carpets which have recently
been transferred to the palace by the Pre5i-
dents orders, and which are said to be the
most superb articles OF the kind In the
world. They were ordered by Napoleon
Ill at the G0belin mandatory in 1868.
They are Of colossal dimensions, one being
nearly 30 feet square, while the other Is IL
yards long aud 10 yards wide.
1t took ten years to complete them, and
once finished their extraordinary size caused
them TO be packed away in the stOrehouse
OF Les Gobellns, whence they were not ex-
tracted even TO be exhibited at the expos-
lions of 1873 and 1889. They are the finest
articles Ut the kind that have been produced
for the French Government since Louis
XIV ordered "ninety-three carpets for cere-
monies and festivals 10 be manufactured
at La Savonnerie for the great bathrooms
and receptlon-rooms of the Louvre and of
Versailles. The smaller OF the two, which
has a yellow ground, is set down in the
inventory as being worth $4,000, the larger,
the ground Of which is black, being est-
mated at S50.000 though the real value of
each is stated to be at least double.
The President has given orders to have
them transferred to Fontainebleau, where
one OF them will be put down In the 'Salle
du Pape," and where pathways of linen will
be arranged over it to prevent any damage
from the feet OF visitors. 1t was M. Carnot

about it" she replied.
The man of collins said he was not in the
habit of burying people until they were
pronounced dead by physician.
Then the lady explained that she ex-
pected the woman whom she desired iu-
TERED to be dead before nightfall. She
certainly could not live another twenty
four hours, and the poor creature
would be much better off dead than
alive. The corpse apparent had
been an inmate of the st. Joseph's Home for
Incurables for the past eighteen months
and she had no friends.
Were she to die now they had no place TO
put her body, as the only spare room in the
home was in the wing which was being
pulled down for repairs and additions.
The visitor desired that no time shall be
lost in removing the body, and she asked
for the undertaker's telephone number, so
that she could ring him up concurrently
with the fight of the poor woman's soul to
her Creator.
''Good-day, sir"

friend will get we'll"

she gathered her skirts up and vanished
through the door.

The Arg ument of Beauty,

Speaking of the entrance of French
women into the professions. Jules Simon
says that pretty woman will always be
a most dangerous lawyer There were
several women, he adds, who were great
teachers-Hypatia, for example. She spoke
behind a curtain. They understood the
arguments she uttered; they did not see the
argument she was. We shall be little
embarrassed with pretty women when they
begin TO struggle with US at elections, and
more if they make personal visits upon in
fuential electors, 1t is the mistake. the
misfortune of women to demand equality
with men. They are often asked, How
can you demand equality when you are
weak? But II would be at least only just
to add. How can you demand equality
when you are pretty?"

CARRYING THE MAIL.
Very Tough Route In the Mountains
of Wyoming.
no

A thrilling story Of adventure and peril
comes from johnson County, Wyo., the
seat of the late cattle war. During the
entire winter Contractor Stringer has been
unable to carry the mail across the Big
Horn Mountains. sfrom Buffalo to Ten
Sleep. In the belief that the summer season
was sufficiently advanced TO allow the trip
to be made. he started 10 Buffalo on strong
saddle horse and with four mules packed
with mail-pouches.
twenty-five miles OF hard travelling landed
Strlnger at an emergency cabin with his
stock completely played out. Here he
placed some mail on a toboggan, and, strap
ping on pair of snowshoes, made another
start for Ten Sleep. In about fifteen miles
the snOwshoes were broken. The nearest
haven was Stringer's own ranch, twelve
miles distant. He was five days getting to
it. Most of the way he crawled on his
hands and knees. With hunger and ex-
posture, he was all but dead.
Resting three DAYS at his ranch and max
ing new shoe, Stringer returned to the
station for the abandoned stock and mail,
and in a week went through to Ten Sleep.
