This was done delibera tely. Mr.. Marconi
said that he could prevent this interior
ence on the part of a third station, but
that he would not demonstrate during these
tests, because he had not yet received his
patents for that feature.
The Departments Favorable View.
The Navy Department has been Informed
of the conclusion of the Marconi expert
ments with wireless telegraphy between
warships oft New York harbor. The full
report of these operations is not yet in, but
enough is known to satisfy the department
that 1t has secured valuable adjunct to
the signaling apparatus of the navy. 1t is
known that messages have been transmit
ted between ships thirty-nine miles apart
and that the method Is faster than either
the code fla IS or the wig-wag.'
With the Wig-wag 1t is impossible to take
messages mDce than two miles, and five
words a minute is considered fast work
even for expert Signaman. With the
wireless telegraph an average of eleven
words a minute has been made on straight
worded messages, although code messages
take little longer. The Marconi system
has the advantage of leaving a permanent
record on the receiving tape, so that any
error in transmission can be traced directly
to the responsible party.
the latest reports say that there has been
some trouble in sending messages stimuli
taneously by several vessels, and the ether
waves interfere with each other. There
are ways of controlling this. however, and
further experiments probably will obviate
the difficulty.

4 Repetition.

The paragraphs concerning the eHclo
sion of which Mr.. Lockwood is making the
most clamor, are simply a repetition Of
views and statements that appear in other
parts of his testimony Having been said
once, it was not necessary to have them
appear in the record as having been said
second time
so that it may make no mistake, ana TO
avoid all chance of doing any of It's Wit
nesses an injustice, the commission allows
each to revise his testimony as finally pre-
pared for publication in the prcof; and in
the natural course Mr.. LOckwood'S proofs
were sent to him for revision and correc~
ton He came back complaining that some
things had been taken out which ne
thought should have been left in. and in
sisted upon going before the commission
and urging the reinsertion of the excluded
matter He is scarcely justified in saying
that the commission threatened or pleaded
with him to withdraw certain portions OF
his testimony-he rather threatened and
pleaded with the commission to put 1t in
again Nor did the commission seek him;
he insisted upon seeking it. AS a result of
his appearance. the commission directed
Prof jerks, who has charge of the COM
missions inquiry into the trust question,
TO consult with him. and 1t was assumed
that the professor and Mr.. Lockwood
would easily agree as to the final shape of
his testimony.

Secretary Sackett's Statement.

Mr.. William f. Sackett, secretary of the
commission. today made the following state
nent concerning MIR. LockwOod's testimony:
after the testimony of the gentlemen
who appear Az witnesses before the indus
trial commission has been gotten out of the
stenogra piers books by the typewriters. 1t
is placed in the hands of an editor. one
purpose is to correct the grammatical ef-
and slips of the tongue that all the
men are. in the course of a rapid talk,
liable TO fall into; and the other is to re-
duce the volume of printing to minimum,
with the idea of saving the money OF the
government. The editor does his work UNI
der rules laid down by the commission, and
these rules, speaking generally, dlrect MIN
to eliminate from the copy all unesSentlal,
irrelevant and repetitiOuS statements. VI
course, it is not his business, nor is he per-
mitted 10 change the purport of the wit
ness testimony. or to give it another flavor
than that which he himself gives TO II
when upon the stand.
I'm the ordinary course, Mr.. lockwoods
testimony went into the hands of the editor
and was subjected to this treatment. ii the
editor had not been oVer-libeTal. 1t would
have been cut very much more than II was:
as matter of fact there was nothing
taken from it except paragraphs IN Whlcn
he made charges against certain Judiclal
officers concerning which, he admitted,
when pr. ssed. he had no personal nforma-
ticn Notice was given to him while he
was still in the chair and before the COM
mission that as these charges We're only
hearsay they would be stricken from the
rscord, and the commission subsequently
directed that that he done | understand
that Mr. Lockwood is not complaining OF
this; action of the commission, however.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Some Suggestions Regarding Various
Matters In the Domestic
Department.

aunt Mary's favoritc pudding" is
SO much Of a favorite that it Will bear
passing on. Scald n pint and half
of milk in a double boiler, then stir in
four tablespoonfuls Of cornstarch dis
tablcspoonfuls Of sugar. Cook half an
hour; q longer time is better yet; and
flavor to taste. Just before removing
from the fire add the whites of four
eggs beaten stiff, and pour at once into
cups. Scald in another basin a half
pint Of milk and the beaten yolks of the
four eggs. AS soon as it thckens sweet
e. and flavor. When both are cold, and
just before serving, turn the blanc
mango from the cups on individual
dishes and pour some Of the yellow
custard about them.
brushes and brooms should be kept
scrupulously clean by frequent wash
ing. Ammonia is cheap and the best
thing to use, allowing two tablespoon
fuls to q pail of water. Do not get the
brushes wet where the bristles fasten
into the wood. 1t loosens the bristles
and takes off the varnish. The water
should be only lukewarm. Brushes and
brooms may stand in it for half an
hour, then thoroughly rinsed, well
shaken and hung up in a cool place to
dry.
Now that artificial ice is SO largely
used in the large cities, u word Of
warning from ''yc ancient fisherman"
may be appreciated. ''Never put clans
the soft-shelled-ncar artificial ice,"
he declares. If you do. they will be
dead in half an hour and totally unfit
Tor use. The same caution applies us
we'll to the catfish or bullhead. They
may be put in covered dish and set
by the ice, but must never touch ii.
just Why these things be, does not APP
pear to the casual observer, but fore
warned, forearmed'
An admirable substitute for the wax
candle has arrived, which dcfies de-
lection, save in the absence Of grease
and incendiarian tendencies. These
candles are made of fine ivory, tinted
ware, and burn oil. They are supplied
with wicks and chimneys, which makes
it impossible for the shades to catch
fire. They cost about rs cents each,
but will last lifetime, and are worth
their weight in gold in a saving of
trouble and yexation.
Marrow balls for soup are favorite
German tit-bit. To one-half cup of
marrow mixed with two slices scalded
bread add one cup rolled crackers, one
beaten egg, one-half teaspoonful salt, a
grating OF nutmeg and flour to en-
able you to roll easily into balls. Throw
into the boiling soup five minutes be-
fore serving and keep boiling hard
