ATHLETIC SPORTS AT PARIS
Great Meeting Planned for 1900 with
View to an international
OrEanizatiOn.

The greatest possible interest is be-
ing shown in athletic affairs in con-
nection~ with the Paris exposition of
1900. A meeting Of the committee on
official sports at the exposition was
held and long programme was decid-
ed on, with a. view to the continuance
OF the organization in France after
the exposition. All prominent per-
sons interested in athletics in France
have been asked to cooperate. 1t may
be remembered that the next session
Of the "Olympian games'' is to be held
in Paris during the exposition.
M. Merilon, chairman of the official
committee and also president of the
French National Rifle society, says:
"The session Of the 'Olympian games
in Paris will probably put this organ
ization on it's feet, so to speak. The
most famous athletes in the world will
meet here to decide on a basis for fu-
ture operations. The idea has struck
sportsmen and athletes here as prac-
teal and at the same time romantic
We are heartily in favor of continuing
the games. The success of next years
meeting is assured, since the most
prominent young athletes Of the Eng
lish and American universities havs
signified their intention of being pres-
ent. The meeting probably will he
held at Longchamps, the Paris race.

.EXCELs MARCoNI SYSTEM
w. A. Eddy Able to Transmit Wire
less Messages Between Two Kites
| without 4 Battery.

Marconi's is not the only telegraphy
that will send messages without wires.
According to W. A. Eddy, the kite ex-
pert Of Bayonne, N. j., it is equally easy
to accomplish the same result with
wires fastened to two ordinary kites.
Mr.. Eddy believes that If the two
poles of sending and reception extend
high enough into the air enough cleo
tricity will be generated from the at
mosphere to do away with the storage
batteries and complicated telegraph In
struments used by Marconi.
A kite was raised to height of 1000
feet. -Four hundred feet away another
wire Of the same length was attached
to two kites, fastened to the main wire
in sort of a V-shaped branch. No bat
terry or electrical apparatus Of any kind
was connected with the kites.
Mr.. Eddy took his place at the single
wire kite. He made the connection be-
tween it and the ground, and instantly
shock was felt by his assistant on the
other wire 400 feet away.
Mr.. Eddy brought the shifting hook
against the wire with short, irregular
blows, something like a telegrapher's
clicks. They were all felt by his asso-
ciate at the other wire. TT took ten
seconds for each blow on the single
Kite Wire TO pass up to the kite, shoot
OF through space and come down on the
double kite wire.
With telegrapher's instruments of
only ordinary delicacy Mr.. Eddy is con
fdent message could be made to travel
in much less time.

TT rs NO EASY TASK.
Running Railroads in Island Of Lii
q zon Attended with Difficulties.
An Omcer Of the Signal Corps In the
Philippines Describes the Nu-
merors Trials That Beset
His Path.

Running railroads in the island of
Luzon is lively job, owing to the con-
slant interference of the insurgents,
coupled with the original wretched
condition of the road and rolling stock.
An officer of the signal corps, writing
to Senator Cullom, describes the situa-
ton as follows: Grains are liable to
turn up in the most unexpected places,
and as for orders, when you have to find
out where they came from, how they
got there and where they started for,
engineers cannot be persuaded to run
after dark, unless they have about a
regiment of infantry with them, and in
this they are sensible, as the Gugus have
ali their fun at night and waste most of
their ammunition after dark.
ssThe train dispatcher is supposed to
be bell boy for the local telephone line.
He has to handle about $50 messages
per diem via the dash and dot system,
and he is his own delivery boy. Every
officer who comes in has his own partic-
ular grievance which he wishes you to
adjust, and they bring in messages it
would take board of inquiry two
whole months to decipher, and then
they would have to refer them to the

MAKES A CHANGE.
Secretary Root Moves His Office So
That He Gan Have Much
Greater Privacy,

Secretary Root has given up the Of
flee which has been used by his prede-
tcessOrs since the construction of the
war department and removed to the
room of his private secretary. This
was done to give the secretary a pri-
vate office where he could work with
out interruption when he has special
business on hand.
There are only three rooms in the
secretary's Immediate suite-a large
reception-room, his private secretary's
room, and that of the secretary him
self. Heretofore the reception-room
and the office Of Secretary Roots pri-
TesaSa sc cretary ,heve ,,-ea open to the
public and members of the press. This
practically confined the secretary to
one room, and it was impossible for
him to have a conference without in
terruption. Secretary Root will now
do the bulk of his work in the room
of his private secretary. There is a
large double desk in the center of this
Office, which win be used by Secretary
Root and Victor Mason, his private
secretary.
The room which was formerly occll-
pied by Mr.. Root will be reserved for
the purpose of private consultation
and special work, aud when the secre-
tary enters it he will not be disturbed
under any circumstances. The pub
Tic will be excluded from the joint
office of Secretary Root and Mr.
Mason, and in the future the recep-
'tion-room will be used exclusively for

WHEN 10 LEAVE SUNDAY SCHOOL
The Rev. DIR. Stoddard Views ON a
Much Discussed Question.

The Rev. E. l.. Stoddard, rector of ST.
Johns EpicopaI Church, Summit avenue,
has ideas of his own as to how a Sunday
school-or, as he calls it, church school
should be conducted. From time to time
he expresses his views in "St. Johns
Bulletin the newspaper that is pub
lished each week in the interests of the
church. This week he discusses the ques-
ton of the age at which a person should
cease attending Sunday school. He writes
as follows:-
Am / too big to attend Sunday school?
ssNot Until you are twenty-one years old,
weigh 140 pounds, and know all that a
Christian ought to know for his SOULS

IF a boy wishes to be a spiritual dwarf,
to grow up as ignorant of the noble truths
which God has given His church to teach.
as If he were a Hottentot, to walk about
with a swollen head and a Shrivelled soul,
then he should certainly leave church
school early; he should declare himself too
big to go when about fifteen, and he

something and can have some influence
upon men and boys who don't, let him

Our Plethora of Cash.

The Republican press throughout the
State is sticking feathers in its hat over
the fact that New Jersey has more money
than she knows what to do with, by
claiming that such a desirable state of
affairs was brought about by the honest
economy of their party. They purposely.
or through ignorance of the history of
the State, lose sight of the fact that it
was the corporation tax laws, proposed
by Democratic Governors and enacted by
Democratic Legislatures, which have
made this thing possible,
The honest economy for which the
Republican -wspape claimfso much, Is
nothing more nor less h a hypocritical
cheese-paring which is a disgrace and dis
honor to the State. Whenever they de-
sired money for any pet scheme, in which
they saw a chance to continue their party
in power, there was no trouble in get
ting the money to spend, while some wor-
thy measure which would inure to the adj
vantage of the public, was thrust aside
as a reckless and wicked expenditure of
the peoples money.
They can't deceive the people all the
time, and it will not be long before they
will have the care of the surplus taken
out cs their hands.

Children a Merry Christmas.

In all German festivals ample provision

fortunate in this respect. The Christmas
and New Years holiday festivals are
looked forward to with more than ordi-
nary pleasurable anticipations by them.
This has been an especially merry season
for them. In addition to the Sunday
school Christmas festivals, every German
society of prominence on the Heights has
given the children a big festival. None
of these, however, has been on a larger
scale or more heartily enjoyed han that

sIEcEL, COOPER co.'s. BALL.

The employees Of the Seigel Cooper Co.
and their friends thronged the Grand
Central Palace last Saturday evening on
the occasion of the third annual vaude-
vile entertainment and ball of the Seigel
Cooper Co. Employees, Association.
An unusually interesting programme
was rendered by several prominent pro-
fessional artists, and was thoroughly en-
joyed by the large assemblage. When,
about 1880. the floor was cleared and
dancing began, the large auditorium of
the Palace presented a brilliant scene.
Judging from the enthusiasm and inter-
est manifested by the friends of the as
ISOLATION, there is nj doubt but what this
most worthy object was thoroughly appre-
ciated and is growing more popular every
year. 1t is difficult to learn how much
capital was added to the und but a care
full estimate by one of the managers i'll
dicates that the amount was much lar
ger than on former occasions.
