SETTLE DOWN Ta BUSINESS
Prince of Wales will Chs. Asid9 Fri volity When Ho Ascanda tho
 Throne.
Iphiladelplfia Record E

In all human probability the Prince Of Wales will ali no distant day ascend the throne of Eaqland and it is almost as probable that history will repeat the old story of the accession of Henry V which is told by Shakespeare. He will then throw aside bis frivolous boQn com panions, and call about him the ablest and most serious men of his realm for counselors. It is true that under the British constitution the monarch has no polit:eat power, but his immense soeial weight is , great auxiliary to the party witf which the crowns sympathies lie Peel felt it so serioaslgthat lie tried 10 make the young queen dismiss one of the women of her bedehambel because her husband was Of al opposite political faith, and today Lord Salisbury is stronger because the trust and sympathy of the cour is with him. He will never willingly relinquish that support, and ther, will be no abdication against hi. advice.
 Much dispute attends the eareei of the Prince of Wales This is largely the fault of his position There is nothing more eneryating dissipating and trying than the position of an adult heir 10 tht English throne. Etiquette forbids his taking any part in politics. Il ] is even undesired that he should at tend in the house of lords, mueI more that he should debate or vote The only career open 10 him is ir fashionable society. and here he k beset by snobs who will do anytLine for his recognition. Perhaps Albert Edward would haze been more oH a man if his mother had relied more on him, and had taken him more freely into her coonseis But thC reputation of Prince Of Wales is but poor indication Of the sort Q king he vii make Albert Edward is a man of high edaeation and eX i traordiaarY tact, and the probabili ties are that he will turn out af excellent king

WITHOUT WIRES
Electricians Believe the Day Is Not. Distant When It Will bs Possible 10 Telegraph
 without wires

In the course of q lectuSe on "Tele- graphy Without Wires, delivered recently in London, by w. II. Preece. c. B., F. k. s., the lecturer said he had been studying this wonderful in> vention for the last 47 years. In his researches he had found that there was little difference between electrici- ty and light. The first idea that he got of the invention was from the fact that the telephone company stated that in Gray's Inn road ths messages which were sent to Brad ford could be distinctly heard on their wires. This could not be un~ derstood, as the different wires stood at a distance of eighty feet. Expari. ments were made, and it was found that by vibration message could he practically sent to any 1istancss and the first time It was tested 1t worked admirably at 2,0oS feet Later on messages in the Bris- toi channel were sent between two islands some miles apart.

AT C0ORE'S CHURCH.
Topics at the Morning, Afternoon
 and Evening Meetings

Mir. c. N. Hart, of Pine Bluff. Ark. conducted the morning session in cooke's Church. which was filed. but uot crowded
 The importance of social fife in the church formed tie subject for the first address. delivered by Mr. A. r. Swenerton, of Halifax, \. S.. and iu it's course he urged upon Epworth Leaguers the necessity of looking after the unfortunate ones in their various meeting places, believing that neglect and slight on he part Of the most favored is great bar rier to the poor entering into the precincts of church societies. He also reminded the ministers that they should take more vigorous part in the games of the young people than in the. past.
 Rev. Edward $. Winde, of Detroit as his name would seem to imply, gave q long harangue in which he unreseryedly condemned dancing, , kissing games and other games of chance. Though he admitted there were many games harmless in them seves, such were so inseparable com nected with immortality that they should be summed.
 KISSING AND DANCING.
 In dwelling upon the apparently fascinating topic of kissing, he said that it did no require argument to prove that promis1uous kissing is profrane, that a kiss q sacred sacia- ment Of a holy affection.
 Though Chaplain John Hogart Lozier, of the United States some where, was not in the printed manual, he was asked to fill three vacancies occurring in the mornings program. which h8 did by reciting poem of his own composition called Apron Strings, and in which he proved beyond the shadow of doubt that dancing is q deadly crime and worse.
 Who ever saw a dancing saint?'
 He said, and paused awhile, Unless it were St Yitus dance
 Then how Gooke,s Church did

An Extraordinary Migration.

One of the greatest mysteries to scien- tists, one for which there seems to be no reasonable explanation, is that con corning the migration of the lemming, or Norway rat. Ilstead of taking place once a year these nigrations occur only once in every 1 years When the time comes for the exodus, the little animals journey westward from Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop their move ments, which virtually amount to 2 headlene flight They swim the lakes and rivers and climb the highest noun tains ill incalculable numbers, deyastat- ing the whole country through which they travel. Naturalists attribute the movement to some inherited memory of a flight to escape an expected cataclysm, but this seems somewhat 1Grfetched. - Pittsburg Dispatch.

HE IS THE MAN WHO AT
 TEMPTED TO BREAK JAIL.
His Confedarates Say He Was the lnstigator of the
 MoYement.

Fluke Flemmlng and Jack Thom- pgon, prisoners in the county tail, sent for the GRApnic reporter this morning to answer the article written hy Clouds attorney few days ago and which was published in the GRAPHIC and Commercial, relative to the attempt made to cut out of the Jefferson County Jail
 Fluke Tlemmine, the rapist, was the first man interviewed relative to the matter, flemming said.
 Fred Cloud k the man who origi- hated the movement to cut out of jail Before he came here we were all satisfied and had no idea of attempting to escape. We did not know how to go about getting out. Cloud told me that he did not want to stand trial before q jury of Arkan- sas yahoos. and was going to get out.
 He then broke q slat from his bed and built fire in his cell with the excelsior from tlie mattress and ! tempered the slat He then took q piece Of glass and pounded it up very 1 fine and sprinkled it in the notch he had started on the steel bar and with the tempered steel slat he had succeed in cutting the bar partially. After he had been cutting two days ! l helped him. The steel shoe springs 1 he took out of his own shoes. l He told Jack Thompson what he was doing and said that if he 6Thompson) told on him that he would kill him. Cloud told me that he had eut out Of tails before. That he had cut ont of the jail at Fl Paso, Texas, and had made his escape from another iail in Arizona.
 Fred Cloud has not done me right in attempting to lay the blame of the attempted escape on me. My lot is haYd enough without bearing his offensea. and this is the reason l make this statement. l would have escaped if could, but had no idea Of attempting if until Cloud started the work.
 After leaving the cell occupied by f.siefiif.,ifte the GRApHIe man went down to the second floor where in a cell Jim Cary, the alleged Warren bank robber and murderer, is coniin- ed. Cary is rather q prepossesslng lyoung man ia appearance, and ap- pears in splendid health. He feels sure of being acquitted of theeliarges against him and says that he will be glad when the time Of his trial lcomes which will be in August. ] When asked what he knew about the attempt made to brake iail, Cary said.
 Fred { loud was the instigator oi l the attempt He told me that he was going to cut ont and that if he sueceeded he would release me. Any man confined II this place would get out if lie could. and 1 would have fgones and would go now if l had the lehance. I did none Of Che cutting and did not see it done, but l was told that Pred Cloud and Fluke ] Flemining did the work. 7
 The man who did the work was and expert, and with his pulverized glass and pieces of steel, knew just how to do the work.

THE SULTAN'S HEIR.
He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely
 Seen In Pabiic.

He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely
 Seen In Pabiic.
 The sultans heir is not his eldest son, but his eldest brother, according to the London Eehe. The eldest male succeeds. Such is the law of Islam and the fruitful source of dynastic murders in almost every reign since the Turks became power The sultan has four brothers-not one only as was lately alleged. This eldest brother is Reehad Effendi-~that is to say, he is eldest aft CT the ex-sultan, Murad v, who, being insane, is not counted. The third broth- CT is Warediu, and the fourth Suliman. The sultan's eldest son, Prince Selim, has no earthly chanea of succeeding his father He has too many suneles aud uncle's sons for chat But Prince Selim is lucky, if he knows it. for he is not dangerous lIe lives q life of freedom, whereas the heir. is, by the custom of the Ottomans, kind of lifo prisoner
 Rechad EiIendi is rarely seen. Every time he drives out he is escorted by a troop, less by way of an escort than as a guard. The few who do know him like him, for he is said to be q cour- teous, humane, well informed man, ae- quainted with current politics and keen Iy interested in them. lie IS good farmer. The pretty palace known as the Teheragan is his residee Of course Rechad's visitors are searched before they are admitted and when they are leaving by tue sultans officials. Dur jug times of trouble in Armenia, Con stantinople and Crete Rechad is moro narrowly watched than ever, for the sultan and his clique know that Rechad is popular Unlike the sultan, Rechad is enc of the most handsome men in Com stantineple.

NO USE FOR ANTHRACITE.
Time Was When the Coal Was
 Thought Unfit for Use

Edmund Carey, of Benton, is in the city this week attending court. He was one of the early residents of Wilkesbarre, and was born Aug. 12, 1922, on a farm at the lower end of town, now known as Carey avenue, which has been named after the family. His father, George Carey, was one of the settlers who had the handling of the first anthracite coal ir Wyoming valley lie helped open a stripping in Pittston town ship, now known as Plains township in 1915, and in the spring of that year loaded raft with several others and took it down the Susque hanna to Harrisburg, where they sold the raftload of forty tons Of anthracite for $l0. They were dis eouraged at such remuneration and left the sportation of coal dor mant until 1920, when they took anothther raftload down and failed to find a buyer. They were so dis couraged that they dumped their load of black diamonds into the Sus- quehanna at Harrisburg, and as fai as these early pioneer shippers were concerned the opening up of a eoa' market was ended.
