TE1EPHoNE-CABIE TRUST

Received a Severe Blow by With
drawal of Prominent Member.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 27.-The
Evening Bulletin to-day publishes the
following:
The colossal plan to control all of the
independent telephone companies in the
United States and TO combine Herewith
the great telegraph companies and the
five Atlantic cable companies, for which
purpose the Telephone, Telegraph and
Gable Company of America was incor-
porated November 8, with n capital OF
$50, 900, 900, received severe blow to-
day, the effect of which may be far
reaching. This was none other than
the withdrawal from the scheme OF
William c. Whitney. Thomas F. Ryan.
Anthony n. Brady. William L. Elkins,
p. A. b. Wldener and Thomas Dolan,
the men whose support made the sue
cess OF the enterprise possible and
whose opposition or indifference may be
fatal TO its existence.

The NERVOUS FRIENDS

OF Judge Randolph, Convicted Of
Murder in the United States Of
Colombia, Charge Minister Hart
and Hls Predecessor, e1.1Iinister
Mckinney, Of Maine, with Derelic-
tion Of Duty.
Special Dispatch to the IntelllGencGr.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 27.-J.
Edward Buckley, former acting consul
general for the United States. In Col
ombIa, has sent circular to each mem-
ber of the coming house Of representa-
tlyes, and to the senators, in which he
prefers charges against the Hon.
Charles Burdett Hart, United States
minister, at Bogota, and against his
predecessor, the Hon. Luther F. NC
Kinney. Of Maine.
1t is understood that Buckley also de-
mands the lntercesslon Of the United
States to secure the immediate pardon
Of Judge Randolph, Of Alabama, now
under sentence of death in Colombia.
for murder. He asks the recall OF Min
lister Hart, and also thai he and for
mer minister Mckinney, and one Jacob
Sleeper, be forever prohibited from
holding any federal office OF trust in the
future.
Another demand made by Buckley ts
that the Hon. Thomas w. Cridler, third
assistant secretary Of state, be remov-
ed from office. 1t is understood that
similar charges against the ohlcials
named were filed at the state departs
ment. They are based upon alleged
dereliction in connection with the Ran
dolph case, and 1t is said no attention
was paid to the matter there, hence the
appeal to Congress.
The statement is made also that after
the conviction OF Judge Randolph the
case against him was re-Opened for
another hearing at the request OF this
government, but any mitigation OF the
penalty, IL granted, will be merely
through courtesy, since the evidence
against the defendant is said to have
been very strong.
No apprehension Is felt upon the part
Of the friends Of either OF the accused
officers. They say It is well-known
that should the case ever reach
hearing before the state department or
elsewhere, the facts Will show them to
have been entirely blameless.
Judge Randolph has a warm friend In
the late secretary Of the navy, Hon.
Hillary A. Herbert, and It was through
his active interCesslon that the matter
was taken up through the state depart
ment, though It Is declared that the
representatives OF this government at
Bogota, under the present and past ad-
ministrations. did all they consistently
could In behalf Of the convicted man.
The disclosure OF the charges created
no sensation whatever.

Steel Vaults and Thick Walls.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27-Prof. w. s.
johnson and C. L. Fortier. of MIlwau-
kee, to-day made q successful test in
this city Of the wireless telegraph. They
succeeded In telegraphing without
wires, through a suite Of seven rooms
with all doors closed and through sew
en- walls.
Another test was made when the
signals were conveyed through three
fIre-proof vaults and an ordinary tele-
graph switchboard, in which thirty
wires we're connected up. and about
forty dead wires were located.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
switchboard contained live wires, the
current passed through all of the vaults
and through this board This is one OF
the most severe tests that has ever
been given wireless telegraphy.
A third test was made in which the
sending instrument was placed inside
OF one Of the steel vaults, and both
doors were closed, and the combination
lock turned. The signals were then
transmitted clearly from the inside OF
the vault to an adjoining room.
The inventor claims that his inven-
tIon Is different from that Of Marcont

for operation within n few moments
after they have reached their destina-
tlon, The sending instrument used to-
day was Intended only for short dis
tnnces. The receiving instrument,
however, was complete and ready for
use at any distance.

dom for the bride-elect to be, not only
forewarned, but forearmed as we'll,
against this inevitable yearning on the
part of the lord of the manor.
The forewarning may come in the
form of little wedding present - a
dainty, parchment-covered recipe book,
with decorations suitable to the occa-
sion. \ suggestion in this direction is
offered in the cut; the old shoes fly
ing after the retreating wagon, with
"Things That His Mother Made etched
across the page. The little book is
made of very heavy, unruled linen pa
per, with the cover of parchment paper
or the very heavy, rough paper that is
used for water-color painting. The or
namentation may be done in whatever
medium one chooses - water color,
sepia or pen and ink.
Inside are to be written the recipes
for lot of the good things his
mother used TO make!" These can
quietly be procured from the mother
in question. Such a little book will
add a bit of merriment to the bridal
gift-maling, and may be made to
prove, as well, a source of practical as
sistance later on, when household cares
are assumed.-Rural New Yorker.

AN ENDLESS WARFARE.
The Farmers Struggle Against PouI-
try Pests and Injurious GcrnIs
Knows No End.

In all lines of live stock husbandry
cleanliness is the one great demand.
The war against dirt and hence against
bacteria and vermin is war that will
know no end. Let no man suppose
that he can cleanse his house and pens
and trust them to keep clean. The bat
tie must be fought over and over again
and the successful poultryman is the
determined fighter. The first campaign
must be made against lice and mites.
Whitewashing the pens is supposed 10
be great remedy, and without doubt
1t is a good one, but it is possible for
the pens to be kept clear of lice with
out the use of lime. We realize the
fact that whitewashing has its disad-
yantages. Not only does the pen soon
get to looking very dirty inside, on ac-
count of all dirt showing on the white
background, but very often the pens
become nuisance in that one cannot
step inside them without having the
marks remain on his clothes. There
are washes that may be used and be
quite effective as lime. The man that
has sprayer can use it easily in his
chicken house and thoroughly wet all
exposed surfaces All cracks should bg
obliterated, and this is not hard thing
to do if the poultry raiser has prop
erly built house. But whether lime or
something else be used the work must
be carefully followed up. 1t is even
best to repeat the labor frequently,
even if there be no signs of the little
monsters. Their very minuteness is a
tremendous advantage given them by
nature, and an advantage that lays
upon us. the necessity of eternal war
fare.-Farmers' Review.

NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY.
They Who Are Once Received by 1t
Never Forget the Charm of It's
Perfect Social Life.

"The question that confronts the
Creole to-day" writes Harrydele Hall
mark of social life in New Orleans, in
the Ladies' Home Journal, lis, Will the
money of the Americans rule the city
socially in the beginning of the twen-
Iieth century?' While money rules less
in New Orleans than in any other city
of its size in the United States, still a
certain amount is absolutely necessary
for a person to keep up the exterior of
gentleman's position. Yet people of
good family and very limited means do
hold the best social positions, because
they have learned to give up the chaff
and spend their money on the wheat,
Again, people of no influence, as New
Orleans counts it, but who have plenty
of money, tact and social qualifications,
can obtain and have obtained good
standing. Blood and money together
are good; money and refinement are
not a specially favored condition, as are
the two others, for storming New Or
leans society; but any of the three
qualifications alone would have hard
time of it. Narrowing it down, it re-
mains that money alone cannot enter
New Orleans society to-day; refinement
alone cannot, but blood-well, it has
held and does hold the lead. The at
mosphere of New Orleans society, as
this century draws to a close, is con-
spicuously Partisan in manner, ardent
ly American in loyalty to the old flag,
warm-hearted to the visitor, reserved
in its inner life, pleasure-loving and
childlike in its gsyety. 1t offers to one,
in its social as veil as its physical life,
the heart of .ipe, red pomegranate,
He who tastes nAver forgets the charm.
He never forgets the red-roofed houses,
the chimes of cathedral bells, the en-
tresol where lives la Belle Creole, the
folk songs on guitar, the melodious
swing of French voices, nor the dark
luxurious beauty of the. women"

THEIRS BY RIGHT.
An Allowance I'm Cnsh Is Not n Mere
Privilege But Duty Par
ents owe to Girls.

If II be essential and necessary that
girls should be we'll acquainted with all
matters connected with the manage
ment of money, then there can be no
better method adopted for enabling
them to become thus acquainted with
those matters than by granting them a
weekly or monthly allowance of such
amount as their parents or guardians
may be able to afford. But if such an al
lowance is granted it should be given to
cover certain specified expenses, such
as dress and other personal necessities.
An allowance is not mere privilege,
but in a certain sense, girls right. To
withhold it is an injustice not only to
the girl, but to the man whom she may
marry and whose money will be intrust-
ed to her care to spend wisely. Indeed,
it might be said without hesitation that
it is fathers duty to see that his
daughters not only understand the
value of money, but the difficulty of
earning the same.
1t was the poet Young, a somewhat
dismal and lugubrious author, who told
us in his might Thoughts that 1--WE
take no note of time but from its loss
and to this may be added that they only
know the value of money who have not
got any. A girl who caters for herself
will have an opportunity of showing her
individual taste, and it gives her feel
ing of f-reliance.-Chicago Daily
News
