their souls went forth on mysterious
electric currents to find the great bat
terry, from which all electric forces of
life, light and vitality have their inn
mortal principles.
God, the first cause, the battery from
which all powers of life and light are
transmitted to scientific and philosophy
cal discoveries who are the inferior dy-
namo-electric machines through which
all systems of electricity will be hereaf-
ter utilized by human thought and in
Ventions.
Man is nearing his Maker now; ah,
yes; the human is surely reaching the
attitudes Of the Divine Mind, and all
branches Of knowledge are being opened
for human progressive thought and dis
covery. The bones of early discoveries
may line the way. Those who found
their trail and footprints have been
heedlessly gathering fruit of other
planting. They gathered up the records
of the dead, and with keener vision and
| fresher zeal, because unWearied in the
| race. They are successful, and claim
honors that should cluster around the
life works of the nameless dead.
| The careful student in the science Of
| electricity is compelled to acknowledge
| that his lot has fallen in an age of great
and rapid progression. Mysterious
| events, grand investigation and achieve
ments in scientific discoveries create
within him a desire to demonstrate the
| power and penetrate still further into
what is still IAN undiscovered country
| to scientists and electricians of all
| classes
This may be and often is called the
golden age in the worlds history.
Scientific discoveries in departments of
knowledge have made the fact sure that
this is grand age for human progress
ion in art, science and PHILOSOPHERS of
all kinds Mental, moral and religious
) branches of science are shining out upon
| humanity all their wonderful beauty
and virtues, fairly and clearly defined,
with broad fields and avenues open to
all phases of human investigation and
advanced minds, developed and still de-
veloping in all branches and depart
ments of knowledge, find themselves
knocking in vain at the gate of the cleo
trio kingdom. The flaming swords
above the gates are mysterious weapons
men fear to handle. There is death in
the touch of electricity, like all Divine
mysteries; there is point beyond which
no man can pass.
The tree of knowledge still bears for
hidden fruit when it comes to electro
magnetic science. Viewed from Its
present standpoint electric science is
still in the morning of its existence. II
has not passed beyond the first day,
Notwithstanding all our most f1ourishing
cities are illuminated with electric
lights and nearly all their streets are
alive with cars propelled by unseen
! forces, called carbohydrates, which is
electricity fettered by human inventions
"A monster in chains" said an old phi
losopher who stood spell-bound, watch
ing the street cars as they moved rapid
ly and gracefully along without any Wis
ible means to cause their motion.

Poor Place for ECONOMY

Your teeth are poor subjects on which
to practice economy. Your teeth begin
the work of preparing food for your
life. The money you pay your dentist
is well spent, and the money you pay
for Pearlo-dento will cause no regrets.
Pearlo-dento has the endorsement of
dentists because it is neither a worth
less nor a harmful mixture. 1t possess
SEES wealth of merit both as a denti-
frice and a remedial agent. 1t stimu-
lates the gums, counteracts soreness at
the roots of the teeth, neutralizes the
acids that encourage decay, and acts
as an antiseptic.
Besides this, Pearlo-dento cuts and
removes all grease and is a soft polish
for the enamel. The gritty tooth prep
arations ought no more to be used on
the teeth than sand on silver Pearlo-
dento is a polish, not a grindstone.

POli's Wonderland Theater,

Miss Florrie West scored a pronounce
ed and immediate success at Polls
Wonderland theater yesterday. Some
what petite in stature, she is plump as
a butternut and seems to fairly bubble
over with animal spirits. She is mag
netic, too, to a degree, and easily wins
the good graces of her audience from
the start. Her methods are character
istically English, but they are very at
tractive; and her style of songs, while
somewhat new to American audiences,
are catchy none the less. Miss Vests
New Haven debut may certainly be pro-
nounced a success, and she seems like
ly to prove a favorite attraction during
the week There are a number of 9TH
er bright artists, including Felix and
Cain. Mr.. Garfield and Miss Carleton,
Burke and Andrews, the Bijou Comedy
Trio. Miss Minnie Bell, the tiny Lally
brothers, and the Willett and Thorne
Comedy company. Popular prices, 10
and 20 cents; ladies in the afternoon. 10

THE INDIAN.
None of Fennimore Cooper's RED
Stocking Tales (and they are the most
thrilling Indian stories ever written) is
more dramatic than "The Indian" a
romantic sensational drama, which is
being praised everywhere. 1t teaches a
lesson of the ill-treatment of the Indians
by the whites, but it is so artfully, as
well as dramatically told, that observers
are completely carried away by the
reality of it,
The piece is free from claptrap, and
unfolds heart story of progressive in
terest. There is good wholesome fun, in
it, and specialties too. The peace COM
mission scene is, perhaps, the most at
tractive and striking. The Indian"
has been sent out by Mr.. Lewis Nor
rison, one of Americas most eminent ac-

piece will be superbly acted and that the
stage embellishments will be beautiful.

will appear as Lieutenant Rex Sterling,
a civilized Sioux, and as Red Feather, a
savage one.

When men first took the line of march
toward the gold fields of California
many embarked their all in an I'M
known venture. They knew the gold
was there and meant to find it. They
started from all parts of the country.
Active zeal and a desire to triumph in
spired their efforts and served them for
eternal struggles through all the diff
ficulties that lined their way Still they
moved onward
All along the great trail across the
boundless wastes of the great plains and
sandy prairies Were thickly scattered
the bones of animals, and sometimes hui
man forms lay uncovered to bleach in
the burning suns and fierce rains beat
ing down upon the dry alkaline deserts
called the Western prairies.'
Men, as they passed those brainless
skulls and bleaching bones, thought
with a sigh that the onward march of
civilization and human progression de-
mands its sacrificial affairs and it's hu-
man victims. And so it is with the sci
entific researches and discoveries.
The men who did all the weary strug-
Cling, who burned the midnight oil and
wasted mental and physical strength in
their tireless zeal died one by one along
the desert of investigation. The whole
broad highway across boundless wastes
and fruitless plains, the bleaching bones
and brainless skulls attest to the pain
and disappointments of weary, restless
souls, who beat against their mental
letters till the cage wasted away, and

BUENOS A1RES, ARGENTINE, Jan. 81
The Western and Brazilian Telegraph
Company, an English concern which had
a monopoly of the telegraph communica-
ton on the coast of Brazil until 1893. is
connected at the city of Buenos Avres
with the lines of the River Plate Tele-
graph Company of Montevideo. In order
10 harass competition in the United States
and N Europe an overcharge of 81 cents
IN gold per word beyond Buenos Ayres
has been imposed on kilograms sent bv
way of Galveston to Brazil since 1892.
Repr esentations to the different govern
ments concerned produced no effect until
last June, when this Government ordered
the River Plate Telegraph Company to
stop collecting the overcharge in Argen-
tine territory. Protests and proposals for
an arrangement of the matter followed,
all tending TO elude the Jurisdiction of
Argentine.
Last October the Argentine Government
gave the River Plate Telegraph COMPANY
twenty-fOur hours notice to comply with
its DEGREES. The company replied, stating
that 1t had obeyed and always would
obey the orders of the Government This
has since been found to be false, because
on the occasion of the reduction of rates
in January the overcharge on messages to
Brazi! figured along with the new tariffs
submitted TO the Government for approval
according to law.
The Government sent representative
to the office of the River Pate Telegraph
Company 10 prove that violation of IT'S
DEGREES was being insisted upon, and at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the Govern
ment stopped the service here OF that
company because of insubordina alton.
Since then the River Plate Telegraph
Company has inquired OF the Govern
ment cn what terms the reopening of its
ofhces would be permitted, and the
Government has replied that only on un-
conditional surrender, without any re-
serve, expressed or implied, will the COM
pany be allowed to resume business.
This the company has failed to agree to,
and consequently IT'S office here will re-
main closed until such time as they see lit
to comply with the order of the Govern
ment to make their tariff uniform charg-
ing all the public alike and stopping the
discriminating rate heretofore imposed on
telegrams by way of Galveston.

When Benedetto came to this country
some years ago it was with the purpose of
seeking fortune for his family. He labored
as a seciion-hand on the road for months,
saving bit BY bit from his small wages
until he had sufficient to pay the passage
OF his wife and babies He sent the sum to
his wife and babe her come. After wait
ing fer months a letter came from Italy
saying his wife and chiloren would remain
where they were.
About that time Benedetto fell sick.
They said he had suffered a sunstroke
while at work on the road. At any rate, he
has never worked since, but has kept away
from men as much as possible and taken

fires

tered the dark corridor and almost fell
