SUCCESS AS AN EDUCATOR

1t is well said that intelligence and
zeal always quicken with the thrill of
success. Our successes in overcoming e
the Spanish fleets with our naval force
did not delude the nation with the idea
that therefore we had an invincible
navy. On the contrary it opened the
eyes of all the people to the weaknesses
of our naval system and stimulated a
demand for a larger. stronger navy.
Thus what we want, it is now conceded.
to inspire respect, protect our interests
abroad and to comport with the dig
nifty and Importance of the nation, is
a navy with many high class armored
ships with speed, large coal capacity
and sea-going qualities.
Intelligent now upon these subjects
the opposition to building a complete
navy has well nigh disappeared. The
fiction that we could get along with
what we had has been no more re-
peated of late, and Admiral Simpsons
plea for better naval service commands
the respect and affirmation of the
American people generally. In addi-
tion to the type of seas going weli-e equip
ped battleships, it is now conceded that
we need armored cruisers of the best
class as to habitability, speed and pow
er of resistance, as we'll as coal capac-
ity. The obligations imposed upon us
now as a great nation having a right to
respect in all seas. demand that we
shall have sufficient and a thoroughly
capable naval body. That Congress will
reflect this conviction of the people we
do not for a moment doubt 1t will
be one of the first offices of the next
session of Congress to- lay out a proper
program for bringing our navy up to
the high state of efficiency that our
recent success has proved to be necs
essary.

observed, is based on the construction
of the microphone 1t gives results as
tonishingly Interesting.
When a person, says one account OF
the machine, speaks in front of this
transmitter there is heard from the re-
ceiver a loud clear voice of good quail
ty, and devoid Of nasal character. Even
if the persons voice be very soft, the
receiver gives a loud clear tone. The
Inventor has a second receiver also'
consisting of a slightly conical tube
over two yards long. This is fixed
against the wall and enables one to
hear spoken sentences or music though
he is In his garden some distance away,
provided there are no outside noises TO
interrupt the sound waves.
The batteries used are from 4 to 10
cell combinations. The registry appar-
atCs combines a photograph with the

Literary Digest" says that M. Ger
mains latest instrument, in which the
transmitter may be held in the hollow
of the hand, was exhibited in Paris, on
March 18th, before the French Cabinet.

that it can travel for considerable dis

no reason for accepting the mediaeval
Arab story that it climbed palm trees

This fish and its allies have supple

to exist for a considerable time out Of

in the Indian fish popularly known as

A PAIR OF srRUMPETs.

In Toledo they have just had an ex-
ample of advanced marriage as it is
called. We are disposed to call it ad-
vanced adultery, or prostitution-either
term will apply. ''Rev." Herbert Cas-
son and Rev" Lydia Commander have
married by contract, and claim to have
thus lifted up marriage ito a higher
plane of affinity" JUST what that
means we leave our readers to judge
for themselves
The contract reads: 'I pledge myself
as the wife of Herbert Casson so long,
and only so long, as love shall bind our
hearts; and the Husband takes a
pledge of similar character for his
part. That is to say, they have con-
tracted a marriage conditional and
which might be more properly termed
a marriage of low convenience. 1t is
placed within the power of either party
to declare the bond broken and the
marriage dissolved
OF course, neither church nor courts
will recognize any such a compact.
They will hold these people to the taw
line of morals, and the latter ought to
follow them with the penalties of the
law for unlawful cofabitation Mar
riage by contract, where it is recognized
by law, is as binding as marriage un-
der ceremonial, and by either civil

couple of perverts who claim that they
lift marriage by agreement to termin-
ate it when by reason of safety, or a
foolish quarrel, or under the influence
of a stronger affinity" they decide
that love has died out
Love, as they esteem it, is to be the
sole arbiter. No obligation or duty is
to rise superior to it. The legitimacy
and rights of children; the rights of
property, the claims of society, the
duties of true manhood and woman
hood, the bond that includes the tax
ing .for better or worse until death
doth part''-none of these things figure
in the free-love arrangement of these
self-titled fReverends," since it may be
accepted as certain that such people
wear the title by warrant of no church
of self-respecting people.
Instead of making marriage either a
sacrament or a bond dissoluble only
for causes recognized by the law and
the good sense of civilization, these
people f1aunt themselves before the
public eye as superior beings, cohab-
iting under contract based upon an
affinity" that has no substance
stronger than the whim or fancy of
either as to what love is. Whether it is
passion, supreme respect, heart ad-
miration, a devotion involving the high
est self sacrifice and the noblest chiv-
airy, these people are not at all con-
cerned

AND STILL THE TELEPHONE.

1t would seem that there is to be no
limit to the possibilities of the telephone
under the skill, ingenuity and untirins
researches of inventors and scientists.
A Frenchman, M. Germain, invented a
telephone with which singing and
speaking may be heard at distance
OF 500 feet from the receiver, and which
when required. registers it's message by
means OF an attached phonograph.

AS every one knows, conditions are
very unsettled as yet in Cuba and
Porto Rico, and even in Hawaii there
has not been adjustment as yet to the
new order of things. Nevertheless. the
latest reports of the Treasury Depart
ment show that in all these places our
producers and merchants have found
an enlarged market. For the fiscal
year just closing we have exported
more largely to all these points and to
the Philippines than at any previous
time except the short period when,
under the Mckinley bin, the reciprocity
feature was in operation. The increase
in exports to all these places for the
ten months ending with April have
been from 33 to 90 per cent. in excess
of the exports for the same period in
either of the two preceding years. Our
exports to Hawaii have risen 81 per
cent. and for the last three months
the exports to the Philippines have
tr,sbled those of any other three months
OF any preceding year.

REDEEMING THE PRISONERS.

Our Government has consented that
Spain may independently act in secur-
ing release of Spanish prisoners held
by AguinAldo's forces. This was re-
fused some months ago. but evident
ly the Government is convinced that it
would be cruel to longer object to Spain
ransoming her men. OF course Aguin-
aldo holds these soldiers and civilians
solely for the purpose of wrestling coin
from Spain. He has the prisoners in
safe keeping as representing just so
much cold money metal, and now he is
going to deliver the goods and take his
reward
Our officers in the Philippines nave
been instructed to aid the Spanish Of
ficials in the new work they are about
TO undertake. the rescue of their breth-.
rem from the toils of the insurgents. The
result will be to place a considerable
sum of money in the hands of Aguin-
aldo with which he may do one of
two things. pack up the plunder and
leave the country and his dupes. or
expend the money for munitions of war
with which to continue the contest with
the United States.
1t is possible that the dictator may
do the first If he chooses the latter
course, however, it win be our duty
to see that he has no communication
with the outer world from which alone
he can procure the supplies. Lately
we have quite effectively blocked the
way against these contraband inpor-
tations. and it is likely that We can do
so in the future with even greater sue
cess. Our secret service agents are in
China, Japan and several other parts
watching those from whom Aguinaldo
can hope to buy. Information of con-
traband SHIPMENTS is thus quickly COM
municated to our authorities in Manila,
and then our naval force is put upon
it's mettfe to intercept the shipments.
Most Of them we can seize, some will
escape US.
It is very much to be regretted that
this system of ransom has to be con-
sented to. It viii inI ass the insurg-

ANGLING.
San Jose Mercury: The experience of
anglers this season is that a large pro-
portion of the trout have rot yet
spawned, and that is more often the
rule in April than& the exception. 1t is
evident that the open season begins
a month too soon, and this is one reason
why trout are becoming scarcer every

tinue until May.

Los Angeles Herald: Why should we
not negotiate with the Filipinos? Are
they not human beings? Why should
we treat them as a part Of the unrea-
soning brute creation? In controversies
between branches of the human family
cancellation has been the rule. Neither
side. in such case, can expect to have
all its own wishes gratified. That is
not looked for where Christianity or
modern enlightenment prevail. We
have time and again p1acated our rude
Indian tribes and made most generous
concessions to them for the sake OF
peace Our military commanders have
en- ered into formal wr- tten tre aties with
them, even though the Indians were ull-
able to write or read. and such treaties
are published to the world It involves
neither disgrace nor humiliation. to be
magnanimous even toward the most
savage of enemies. Other nations have
pursued this policy, but it has been

ARE WOMEN TO WEAR WIGS?
Fashions Latest Decree from Paril
Caused by Baldness.

Fashions Latest Decree from Paris
Caused by Badness.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch: 1t is
with pain and dismay that we learn
from an alleged scientific comment
on the course of the fashions that we
are approaching an era of feminine
wigs. The assertion is backed by a
report Of wigs worn by the smart
women of Paris, but the explanation
of the coming misfortune in the line
of coiffures credits it to more obvious
relation Of cause and effect than can
be generally discovered in feminine
fashions. The explanation is briefly
that in the past fashions crimping-
irons and curling-tongs to produce
wavy and romantic locks damaged the
vitality of the hair. Then the pompa-
dour roll strained it baek until nature
proceeded to revenge herself by pro-
ducing nice little bare spots on the
heads of fashionable women. After
which, when the coming fashionable
effect requires more hair than the
feminine head is able to furnish, re-
course must be had to the hair Of COM
merce. If fashion calls for wigs, wigs
will be worn. We can set that down
as settled by the testimony of the cen.
turies as to feminine fidelity to the
fashions. Nevertheless, we would urge
upon the better half of society to take
this scientific fashionable prediction
in the light of warning rather than
a chart. Dear ladies, preserve your
hair. If you must wear wigs you will
still be the mistresses of masculine
affections.

Capt. Slocum,. who is telling in the
Century of his voyage around the

in which he found himself on his jour
ney of $4,000 miles. One Of these was
Buenos Aires There he looked in vain
for the man who once sold whisky
and cof1ins in Buenos Aires;. the march
of civilization had crushed him-mem-
ory only clung to his name. Enter
prising man that he was, fain would
have looked him up. l remember the
tiers Of whisky barrels, ranged on end,
one one side of the store, while on the
other side, and divided by a thin par
tition, we're the coffins, in the same
order, of all sizes and in great num-
bers. The unique arrangement seemed
in. order for as cask was emptted, a
coffin might be filled: Besides cheap
whisky and many other liquors, he
sold cider which he manufactured
from damaged Malaga raisins. Within
the scope Of his enterprise was also
the sale Of mineral waters, not entire
ly blameless of the germs Of disease
This man surely catered to all the
tastes, wants, and conditions, of his
customers"

Wives of Great Men.

Robert Burns married a farm girl
with whom he fell in love while they
worked together in a plowed field. Mil
ton married the daughter Of country
squire, and lived with her but short
time. He was an austere literary re-
cluse, while she was rosy, rompina
country lass, who could not endure
the restraint imposed upon her, so they
separated. subsequently,, however
she returned, and they were tolerably
happy. Queen Victoria and Prince AL.
bert were cousins-a rare example In
the long line of English monarchs
wherein the marital vows were sa-
credly observed and sincere affection
existed. Shakespeare loved and welded
a farmers daughter. Washington mar
ried a woman with two children. II
is easy enough to say she was worthy
of him. and they lived as married peo-
pie should live-in perfect harmony
with each other.

and beat a retreat. In the course of

himself. He was a fat old fellow, and
didn't observe the attachment until he
had settled down. Instantly he began
to struggle to his feet. Don't you
