TeIegraphy Between a ship 90 Miles
Out and station on shore.
Signor Marconi, who is passenger on
the steamship st. Paul, which reached
Southampton Wednesday, sent this mes
sage 70 the signal station at the Needles
when the vessel was 40 miles away: Gan
aboard well; eyerything satisfactory"
The new battleship Campus will be fitted
with Marconis system of wireless teleg-
raphy. Marconi asked the signal station
at the Needles for the latest Transvaal war
news when the St. Paul was SO miles
away. Marconi published paper on the
St Paul which he ca led the Transatlantic
Times. 1t contained all the news he re-
ceived from the Needles in response to his
wireless telegraph inquiries. This in
cluded brief summary of the situation in
South Africa and story about the loss of
the American cruiser Charleston off the
coast of Luzon.
Copies of this paper were sold for 81 each
and the money thus received was donated
TO the Seamen's Fund. Besides the news
messages that were received, the passen-
gers availed themselves of the opportunity
to send messages to friends In England and
the United States. One passenger when
the steamer was forty miles from shore ar
ranged for supper party in London on
his arrival. Immediately on the arrival oil
the ship at Southampton six of Marconrs
assistants started for Cape Town. Refer.
ring to the seizure of the wireless apparat-
us in Delacoa Bay, which was supposed tC
be intended for the Beers, MaIconi said he
had nothing to do with it, directly or in
directly.

The Emperor of Germany has a run

whose beck one of the strongest armies

set in motion, a man whose rule is abso-
Lutte cover the country of medical universe

Now contrast the experience of the
following citizens of the United States
with the Emperor of Germany. Like the
Emperor, they failed to find a cure. But,
unlike the Emperor, they happened to
be plain citizens of the United States,

The store of +. L. Mattison at South
SALISBURY was broken into Monday night
and robbed. The store is in the centre of
the village and is almost surrounded by
dwelling houses The safe was blown open
but only the outer portion was entered and
no money was secured therefrom. The
proprietor's loss is 81 taken from the money
drawer and three pairs of shoes. The
thieves left no clue TO their identity.
The National bank in Cambridge, N. Y,
was broken into by thieves the same night
and an attempt made to blow open the
safe. This, however, was not accomplished,
the thieves being unable to break into the
inner vault. No money was secured.
Safes have been blown open recently at
Pownal, Williamstown, Mass, and in sew
eral nearby towns in New York. 1t is
believed that several of these breaks we're
made by one gang.

Taylor was paced by motor-cyc fitted
up with wind shield attachments. Taylor
could have made better time had his motor
been faster, as he kept calling on them to
go ahead the entire distance. Near the
finish he dropped the pace and finished
ahead in a squirt.

try anything they chose to. They chose
to try the remedy that had cured others
like themselves, and thus they found

Running of the ears, deafness or all
other affections of the middle ear, are
due primarily to chronic catarrh. Run
ming of the earis properly called chronic
suppurative catarrh. Fortuna will cure
catarrh of the middle ear, as we'll as
catarrh located elsewhere. This has
been proven over and over again in
innumerable cases besides the ones Just
mentioned. Deafness and running of
the ears are but symptoms of chronic
catarrh of the middle ear. Pe-ru-na
cures the catarrh, when the symptoms
disappear, whether it be running ears or
deafness or any other affection of the
middle ear. The remedy is compounded

The latest lynching bee in the South ap-
pears to have exceeded in savagery and
ferociousness everything that has gone
before it, Negroes have been burned at
the stake before, but this is the first time
that they have been chopped up while they
were burning, and remnants of their
bodies carried off by the crowd as memen-
toes The proceedings at Newman are
almost too diabolical for belief, yet they
seem to be well authenticated. At last
accounts the mob had disposed of three
victims and was hunting round for
others upon whom to wreak it's insane
fury. The heiDous nature of the negro's
offence is admitted, but that does not
excuse or extenuate the proceedings of the
mob. 1t was not as if there had been
any danger that the culprft would escape
punishment. There was nothing of that
kind. BY due process of law the culprit
was sure to suffer death and that speedily.
In IA community where the lawless ele-
ment is large ana powerful or where the
courts are corrupt, there is some excuse
for lynchings, but none of these elements
are present in Georgia. Furthermore
there is never any exousesfor such fiendish
orueities as were praoticed on this
negro. One would have deemed them i'm
possible except among savages. But here
they are in q land of the highest enlight-
eminent and their origin is to be found
very largely in race prejudice and hatred,
for experience has shown that 1t is.only

ishness Until the race problem that
we still have on our hands is good deal
nearer solution than it is now, would 1t
