The Marconi system Of Telegraph

There is great interest throughout
Europe in the approaching expert
ments inthe transmission of tele-
graphic messages through the air,
without wires, from St. Paul's cathe-
dral in London TO the Eiffel tower in
Paris. The discoverer of this system
of wireless telegraph is Guglielmo
Marconi, an Italian only 20 years old.
1t is declared by some that this will
prove one of the most important
inventions of the century when per-
fected, for it will save half the cost and
half the difficulties of telegraph lines,
and thus make possible the introduce

"This community was much excited

Henderson, of Iberia parish. Mr..
Henderson arrived here at ? D. m. hay-

II years, with papers of Introduction
and order for his delivery to the Jack

Immediately on receiving this informa-
ton, Deputy Sheriff Henderson put
the boy out of the hack at the asylum
gate and left town as once forthe coun-
try. The town authori ties at once OBJ
tanned proper papers and brought
Deputy Sheriff Henderson back to
town. He gave bond for his appear
ance and Tuesday morning was before

Grants Achievements as al Peace
maker.

The honors and attentions showered
upon General Grant during his tour of
the world are, perhaps, u%nequalled in
the history Of kingly hospitality. He
was received everywhere as the great
est soldier Of his time and as the fore
most living American. Hon. John Rus
sell Young, who accompanied General
Grant throughout the famous journey,
graphically recalls, in the May Ladies
Home Journal, its CONSPICUOUS incidents
the receptions, dinners, fetes, balls, etc
given in honor of the illustrious Ameri-
can. 1t is said that Mr. Young brings
to light a fact that has received but
passing attention: that General Grant
was instrumental in arranging The
terms of a treaty of peace between
China and Japan, which prevented an
outbreak OF war between those nations.

Brilliant Opportunity for
Farmers.

If the new congress enactS a tariff
that reserves the American market for
American sugar, many beet sugar fac
tories will be established in the next
few years. The beet at 81 per ton
yield $50 per acre, of which $40 to $25
are net profit over and above every
item of expense, including pay at full
wages for all labor doEe on the crop.
Contrast this with the average of only
81 or So per acre from corn and wheat,
which barely pays cost of production
and certainly leaves no profit. No
wonder farmers are tumbling ever each
other to ''get q wnack at" this new
crop. Consequently all will be glad to
know that a book has just been pre-
pared by the editor of American Agri-
culturist which, as expressed in its tit
tel, tells all about Sugar" A Newand
Profitable Industry in the United States
for Agricultural, Capital and Labor, to
supply the home market yearly with
800, 900, 900 of its product" The book
tells just what has been done, and how
it has been done, by growers of beets
and cane and manufacturers OF sugar
therefrom, during the past six years.
The many pictures illustrate everything
about the sugar business and crop. So
large an edition has been printed that
it can be sold for only soc per copy
postpaid. 1t is published by Orange
Judd Company, 81 Lafayette place,
New York city, n. Z, the wcll-known
