CARDINAL VAUGHAN.

His Bearing on State Occasions.

with 81 Cool Judgment and Open Mind.
His Bearing on State Occasions.
Cardinal Vaughan stayed when here at
Sir Edward Blount's, and, believe, went
out very little. He wore at Mrs Phelps
soiree his red skull cap and violet gown.
His face is rather Italian of the Mcclellan
period than English, but the facial line,
being slightly convex, removes it from the
classic regularity of the old Roman type.
At the same time, his is a head for a
cameo, an intaglio, or medallion by
Peuch, whose bust of the Princess Mathilde
will be one of the lions of the Salon. He
looks patrician, has the bland, easy cour-
tesy OF manner of which an example has
been given at the Vatican, and he strikes
me as being of good judgment and an open
mind He has a reading eye, that does
not, however, disconcert the person whom
he quickly reads, his apparent object being
to read for the purpose of getting into
touch. This is so different from peering
or prylng eye,
in those whom she appoints to govern-a
safe man; by which do not mean heavy
mediocrity, but one who sees facts and
turns them, when the more jealous would
break their heads against them. The
whole person is harmonious, and he gives
one the impression of quiet strength. The
utterance is distinct, and the voice in
speaking full and mellow. His tall stature

ANCIENT TELEGRAPHY.
AIexander's Quickest Way of SENDING
Messages-Old Stations in France

Alexander's Quickest Way of Sendinp
Messages-Old Stations in France.
The old telegraph stations of France are
interesting relics of the past, and, where
they have been allowed to remain, form
feature of the landscape. They were of
two kinds, the square towers and the round
towers. They consisted of two stories.
and the index signals, of wood or light
iron, were mounted on the top of pole
on the roof. A ladder ran up this pole, so
that the signals might be reached and
moved by hand. The telegraphers were
provided with telescopes, and there was
always somebody on the roof to note the
signals made at the neighboring stations.
The progress of a message at night was
naturally slower than the day tranamis-
SION. The words were fewer at night, also,
because the small lanterns affixed to the
indexes could occupy only certain num-
Der OF positions without being extinguished.
Inc hrst BOnaparte extended the line of
!neSe stations to Milan, then to Mayence,
In Germany. They went no further. Soon
the French armies began to retreat to the
lana from which they came and as they
retired they fired their telegraph posts to
prevent the enemy from using them.

quickest means of sending messages was
by fast horses, and that Napoleon, two

existence.
AS with electrical telegraphy, so with
aerial telegraphy, the early attempts were
legion. As far back as the seventeenth
century a scientific attempt at long-dis-

Amontons The author, Fontelle, has
written OF these experiments. He states
tnat the apparatus was a clever contriv-
ance, permitting of the transmission of
message from Paris across the Alps to
Rome In the then incredibly brief time of
three hours, and without anybody know
ing the nature of the message between the
Italian and French capital
Inc procedure consisted in placing at
several consecutive spots men who, having
perceived through long-distance telescopes
certain signals made at one post, trans
mitted such signals to the next post, and
SO on from post to post, and these different
signals were SO many letters of an alphabet
OF secret ciphers. The key to these was
known only to the parties interested at
Harls and at the city 1000 miles away.
Inc maximum range of the telescope con

posts, the fewer of which the better for
rapid transmission. Some experiments
were successfully made over little stretch

Sermons at Two Meetings by Rev.
A. B. Simpson and Rev.
Stephen Merritt.

An organization which will be known as
the California Christian Alliance was
formed at the meeting of the Christian
Convention in Howard Presbyterian
Church yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Stephen Merritt delivered the pre-
liminary sermon. Among other things he
said:

moving on in channels where you do not
expect the manifestations of his power.

dead Now l am a Methodist, Presby-
terrain, Lutheran-in fact, I know what
the Man of revered memory meant by 4

Describing service of the Friends and
the manifestation of power shown there,
he said: 1T is the highest power mani
tested there, and that is what we want.
The Christian Alliance is the simplest
thing know. Its implicitly is one cause
of its efficacy. We want little of organiza-
ton, less of man and all of God. The ALI

the residents stood together. He thought
that much of the neglect of the district
was caused by the nonresident owners,
whose only interest was in keeping down
their expenses.
"Chief Crowley" said he, "knows that
his men cannot patrol this district proper
ly. As result the honest working boys
are not allowed to play on the vacant lots
at night, but are forced to go to their
homes. This is because the police are
afraid something might be done. Now,
call that an unjust discrimination"
Ward then urged that the residents
assist in getting Behrend Joost's franchise
for new electric streetcar line to run from
Church to Twenty-tifth street and thence
directly to the park. He reminded them
that it was the building of Mr.. Joost's line
that had obtained the Twenty-ninth street
and China-avenue extensions on the Mis-
sion road. He was sure that the way to
insure direct communication with the Cliff
and park was by assisting Mr.. Joost to get
his franchise.
A. P. Van Duzer told of what the Fol-
som-street residents had accomplished by
united action. He advised the citizens
that they would never get anything unless
they asked for it, and the crowd cheered
their assent.
Major B. McKinne said that the Fair
