TEN MESSAGES ON ONE WIRE.
Inventor Rowland Will Try His New Ma
 chine This Week.

From the New York World.
 Prof. Henry T. Rowland of Johns Hop kins University, Baltimore, will test his multiplex telegraph apparatus this week, endeavoring to send four messages simulta- neously to Pittsburg and to receive at the same time here four messages from that city.
 The instrument may be called printing telegraph instrument It enables several messages to be sent from the same or sep arate points over the same wire; it renders wire tapping an impossibity and is not affected by the weather.
 Sending instruments are fitted with key boards, like typewriters. Their number is the same as that of the messages that it may be desirable to send simultaneously. Eight is the regular number of messages that the instruent is designed to handle at once, but ten could be taken without~fn- convenience Each keyboard must nave an operator.
 At the receiving station the Rowland re- ceiver performs it's work without human aid. The eight messages are automatically separated and distributed to six instru- ments. These print out the messages as fast as received.
 At present Dr. Rowland's instruments are fitted to print on ribbons of paper, such those used in the familiar ticker" but his perfected machine will print the mes sages on sheets of paper of any desirable shape and size. Hitherto there never has been successful attempt to attain this result.
 The only attention necessary at the re- ceiving station is to supply the instrument with paper and take away the printed sheets It would seem as though the eight dispatches switched on to a single wire would produce hopeless confusion, but one of the devices of Prof. Rowland's instru- mcnt adjusts the words in such way that the separate letters of the respective mes sages cannot start on the main wire out of regular turn.

 "Second-Un.on wages and conditions to prevail in all brick and stonemasons' work performed under the direction of the street department.

 The mayor then took up the subject of the unemployed, which, he said, had developed from the displacement of labor by machinery and the concentration ot capital and a question which he said no municipality could solve, as it had become a national and international one.
 He recommended that land suitable Tor the raising of food products that such un- employed as desired be permitted to use said land, the city to furnish seeds and tools;. the enlargement of the fuel yard at the city farm to such proportions as VIII permit all who desire to earn by their labor such fuel as they may require; the appro- priation of such an amount of money as necessity may warrant to be used in pro vidinE employment directly upon public works not in competition with the regular emr.loyes of the city but upon special works.
 4he mayor condemned the system of contracting with the lowest bidder for city work.
 lIe advocated increased appropriations for educational purposes and municipal ownership of the electric lighting plants and street railways.

paradise, but if they fall short of the mark, what's the use?
 "I shot an arrow in the air
 It fell to earth, 1 know not where"
 It may be true and it may not but it has been crediby reported, that while IIr. Hill was indulging in his fetching laryn- zeal exercises, with eyes and voice both dewey with tears, the jurynen indulged in mutual winks and nudges which showed they were not following the orator into the empyrean heights where his burning words gathered their caloric qualities. Perhaps they were ignorant and therefore unappra- cative. Perhaps they were wise beyond their generation. and recognized the in congru ty Of suited and declamatory form of speech with the plain matter-of-factness of a utilitarian and practical age. At any rate. they failed to acquit the orators client.
 There is little doubt that in the north, at least, forensic oratory, as understood hfty years ago, has almost passed away both In addresses to the court and the jury. The justices of the supreme court of the United States. who wept at Webstcr's touching ref erenee 10 his alma mater in the Dartmouth college case, and who were wont to hang in rapt attention on the winged words or William Wirt and Patrick Henry; of Thomas Erskine and Horace Binney, and
 
 giants, would tolerate with undisguised inn patience the same manner of address today We doubt if Rufus Choate, whose dazzling rhetoric, rich intonation and irresistible ap- peals charmed and captvated both court ana jury could, if alive today, win decisions from the bench and verdicts from the jury as does his kinsman, the next ambassador to England by his close reasoning, his sallfes of wit and his masterly marshalling of precedents and facts Clear, luminous statements of fact; the ability to summarize and logically analyze the testimony pre- sented; plain, unadorned, conversational talks to the jury, are what tell in these bpstling times of ours. Our modern lawyer has mo time to pick the flowers of Parnas- sussa sand our modern juror has no apprecia- tions.of nosegays He wants to hear the testimony, have the facts grouped and analysed by practiced minds, give his yer dict according to his conscience, and go home. His mind deals in facts, not in fancies; in figures of arithmetic rather than figures of speech. A bloody cloak, gaping wound, a pretty face or a splendid oration are merely incidentals. He gives his verdict on the facts, aided. perhaps. by the skillful, logical reasoning of a lawyer who addresses himself to the juryman's intellect, and not to his emotions.
 We are told by Parkman that the Ogal- lalla chiefs used to "try on a bear" the grandiloquent harangues intended to be de- livered to the assembled tribes, and that often visible impression was produced on tho bear. But whatever the taste of black bears and southern jurymen, Mr. Hill has found that jurors impaneled north of the now obliterated Mason and Dixon line are an pnresponsive and impressionabls lot

IN HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Haverhill, Mass, January 2.-John c. Chase, elected on a eocialistic platform, took the oath of office as mayor of Haver- hill today. In his inaugural speech MT. Chase assured the members of the city government and the people that "every atom of power' possessed by the mayor will be exercised in the defense and sup port of the principles of soc. aism insofar as they may be applicable to a municipal ity."
 The mayor then referred to the desirabil- ity of preserving equal rights upon which the liberty and happiness of every man, woman and child are conditioned" and asserted that these are possible of attain main "oniy through the establishment of the cooperative commonwealth

From the New York Mail and Express
 At the beginning of somewhat noted criminal t.ial in this city last week, Georgia lawyer. not without honor in his owr country, was admitted by courtesy to our bar in order to take part in the defense of the accused. He was preceded by repu- tation for courtroom eloquence which had won for him both admiration and verdcts in his native state. To the siver-tongued southerner was assigned the closing speech for the defense before the case went to the jury. MT. Hills powers as an orator had not been exaggerated by rumor. All the traditional graces of oratory, the magic of intonation, the thrilling bursts of rhet- oric, the gestures of cntreaty, of denunc,a- tion and command, the heaving breast and the springing tear-al were present in the lawyers magnetic appeal to the emotions of the jurymen. A few selections from this eloquent address will indicate the tenor of the whole:
 It remained for the eagle of the dis trict attorneys office to plunge his cruel
 talons into the quivering flesh of this
 unhappy victim.

 of the commandments that come down
 from Sinai, insinuate by inuendo tSa.

 client
 Oh, gentlemen, I was never so thank fu in my life as now for the grand right
 of trial by jury, wrested by our fathers
 from the hand of tyranny. I thank my
 God, yes, gentlemen, l reverently thank my God, that, having passed through
 this terrible ordeal of defamation and persecution, she at length stands face to face with this honest and fair-minded
 and true-hearted jury, a jury that will judge the right unawed by the fulmina-
 tionS of counsel.
 Pluck the sun from heaven, wash the empyrean blue from the skies, brush the bloom from the flower, but never smirch the modesty of woman. Cursed, thrice
 cursed forever, be the man who piucks
 the rose of modesty and virtue from the
 soul of maidenly youth.
 But were pearls of oratory cast before swine? Is the form of address which cap tivates the southern jury by it's honeyed accents and rhetorical pyrotechnics uncal- culated to impress the twelve cold practical peers on a northern jury? Read the an- swsr in the result, which shows that even with all the mellowing influences of Christ mas Eve inclining the jurymen to mercy majority of them voted to convict.
 It must be that there is something out of place in the style of summing up which Mr. Hill brought from Georgia to New York. An archer may have the bow of Ulysses. He may bend 1t with golden string; he may have in his glitterihg culver arrows of silver, tipped with jasper and winged with the feathers st the hird of
