New CLEARING House RULE.

The action of the New York clearing
of ten cents for the collection of country
checks went into effect on Monday last
Addison county banks which have cor
respondents in New York have con
formed to the requirements of the new
rule, believing that a short trial will
suffice to indicate to the clearing house
its unwsdom. The effect of the rule
will be felt for the most part by those of
our people who receive checks on banks
outside of New Eng land and New York.
The country banks of New England
usually have CORES pondent banks in
Boston. and New England checks at
present will be collected without charge
through Boston. All other checks and
drafts not on banks among the favored
few exempted from the operation of the
clearing house rule. will be discounted at
our local banks, the minimum charge
for collection being ten cents. as stated.
There has been some talk of Boston
banks following the example of the New
York concerns, but it is hoped their
good sense will prevail, and that no such
course will be adopted. Bank depositors
have to bear quite enough Just now in
the petty irritation of the war tax.
Money can be sent considerably cheaper
by express, as it is, than by bank draft
and if the clearing houses persist in eX-
acting these collection charges on per
sonal checks, very large part of their
anticipated income from the enforce
ment of the collection rule will be eur.
tailed by resort to express money
orders.

There has been light trade in butter the

extent. some of last weeks receipts were
carried over, and this weeks arrivals, al
though not unusually large, are not cleaning

lower rates must be the result, as receivers
ere anxious to sell at one price or another
rather than to allow accommodations to go ON
from day to dav.
II was very difficult to get an actual selling
price from receivers yesterday. "Send Us

When. lately, the London Times print
ed hundred-word message that had
crossed the English Channel between
South Foreland ana BoulOgue sur Mer, a
distance of thirty.two miles, by means of
the wireless telegraph system, it merely
demonstrated the fact that Signor
MarcOni's invention is becoming more
important every day. That the Times
appreciates this is seen in the announce
mrnt that the experiments will continue
under its auspices for some time longer.
just 10 what extent wireless telrgraphy
may come to he used is still undeterm-
med The fact that it has increased its
working distance from eighteen TO
thrty.tNO miles within few weeks
makes the possibilities very elastic.
However II may be put down as pretty
certain that. as the length of the distance
depends upon the height of the vertical
conductors, the limit will AT least be
within hundred-mile radius.
But the limitations of distance do not
affect very materially the Importance of
the Marconi invention. In cases where,
through the violence of storms or
through accidental destruction, com
munication by wire between two points
not far away from each other had been
disrupted, tnen lHe NlDfalOry system
established by the young Italian could
be utilized quickly and uninterruptedly.
His successful tests between the South
Foreland lighthouse and the East Good
win Lightship during the wild days of
February show that wireless telegraphy
is beyond the effects of weather; while
the equal success with which, from a
station on the Isle of Wight. he has
followed the royal yacht on its short
cruises. even though hills interviewed,
shows that the system is also beyond the
power of natural distractions. These
are certainly valuable phases of the in
vention, and there is no cause to wonder
that they have attracted the consider
alton not only of the English govern
ment. but also of France aud Italy and
Germany.
We are told that in recent lecture
SignOr Marconi, whose youth makes
him one of the most extraordinary in
ventors of the age, likened the principles
of wireless telegraphy TO those that
govern the response of one tuning-fork
to the vibrations of another struck near
it. He has done well to materialize those
principles-to make wireless telegraphy
practicable. His perseverance and conf
dence have earned for him already great
honOrs and much thanks.

q 2fSxzSfHyH
Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drOps ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try TO escape from
the germs of consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
on every hand and we are con-
stantly taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease =? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be well supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.

Country Bank Checks.
Hartford Courant.


The action of the Hartford clearing
house on the proposed tax by New York
banks on the checks of out of town banks
foreshadows what is coming in many
places. The country banks will not
stand the charge. They may wait a
while to see If the New York bankers
will not change of their own accord, but
otherwise they will act for themselves.
They may, as New Haven suggests,
charge for collecting checks on New
York and make cheeks on PHILADELPHIA,
Chicago and other centres free of cOllec-
ton charges. They may shift their ac-
counts from New York to places that
collect without charge. And they may,
and probably will, sit still and let the
New York scheme play itself out. There
is a belief that it will be permanent.
Some body must pay these charges. This
somebody is the depositor or customer.
He can be relied upon to do his own
kicking. He kicked the experiment out
Of Chicago.

The Commodore dewey while walking
back and forth on the starboard side oi
the upper deck, noticed that one OF the
petty officers-a man whose duties did
not call for his presence there-was MAX
ing pretense of finding something to do
on the port side, but was also keeping a
careful lookout on the Commodore. This
mans record Of nearly 40 years Of service
in the Navy and Army Of the United
States had caused him TO be regarded
with special interest by the officers Of the
Olympia, and he was. to a certain extent,
a privileged character. So the Commo-
dore, being familiar with the manners Of
seamen, and seeing that the old man
"had something On his mind" said TO
him:
"Well, Purdy, what is it,"

"And why notr"

United States toward the Philippines, and
on which t.tey wouli allow a vote TO be
taken after the treaty was ratified, was
not pushed by Senator AldricL according
10 his previous notice.
Mr.. Tiilnan spoke for an hour and a
half on this resolution after the morning
hour, taking the part of the Fiiipinos in
what he termed was their hersic struggle
for liberty. He took tbs ground that in
stead Of being rebels, az they were com
m monly call d, they would go down in
history as patriots.
After Mr. Tiilman had concluded he was
replied to brily by Mr. Lodge, who, after
going over the incidents l-ading To our
occupancy Of Man Il, decl tred we were
there by absolute right. That we had in
no instance oppressed the inhabitants OF
those Islands, and their attack showed a
spirit of wanton ungratefnlness..
de was Of the opinion that this was a
poor time To cOijl3 them, and argued that
they shoul be given time To come 10 their
senses before we hold out to them any
proposition whatever.
In the House the day was spent in
appropriations for puNlic buildings and
grounds. Since the So Congress there
has been little or no money appropriated
for public buildings and grounds For
merly il had been an easy task TO get an
appropriation OF from $4,000 tO $500, 900 for
the erection of postoffices and other pub
to this class of legislation.
Great good nature prevailed i'm the
House. Each bill that passed meant re
newed popularity for somebody in some
District, and even those who offered oh
lection to certain claims were not vehe-
rnent about il, and more frequently than
not declined to vote against the bill they
had opposed. Not more than a dozen
division votes were dema aided during the
entire session.
In the Senate on Wedne sday the Indian
appropriation biz yas passed. The legis-
lative, executive and judicial appropri-
alton bill was taken up, but after "a pages
of it had been disposed of it was laid
aside for the day. A few measures OF
minor Importance were passed.
Senator Gailinger, OF New Hampshire,
Chairman Of the Pensic1s Committee,
reported a bill to restore pensions TO sol
diers who had forfeited them By enlist
ment in the war with Spain. Mr. Gal
inger explained that these mep not only
had lost their pensions during their serv-
ice in the war with Spain, but had lost
them permanently. The hill provides
that the pensions may be restored from
the date Of the applicants discharge from
the Army. The bill was passed.
In the Senate on Thursday the legis-
lative bill was considered. bill was
as TO promotion officers Of the Navy and
Marine Corps who lost numbers by reason
