SIMPLE SYSTEM.


The Morse system, which Is In use
principally in this country, Is the per
sonihcation Of simplicity when COM
pared to the other systems, The Hugh
as printing telegraph that followed was
in some respects, an Improvement over
the old system, but its great disadvant-
age was found in the fact that It's 1000
words an hour could not be improved
upon without the employment OF many
sets OF apparatus, in which case the
many moving parts introduced friction
and therefore consumed a great deal
OF power. The great disadvantage OF
the Wheatstone system, which Is In use
in England, Is that the apparatus en-
ployed is so delicate that 1t easily gets
out of order. This system may also
be called a machine telegraph. as the
message Is prepared for transmission
on strip of paper by a perforating
machine.
In addition to those systems there
have been scores of inventions that
have been Introduced. but In nearly
every instance the delicacy OF the ap-
paratus or the complications Of the sys-
tenn have made them lmpracticable for
commercial use, and this Is one OF the
chief arguments that have been adj
ygnced In favor OF the new Hungarian
system, Not only will the new ma
chine transmit Cts $4,000 words an hour,
but Il Is reliable and not al all subject
TO disorders.
According 70 AIR. Baker, the new de-
Vice is a combination OF the telephone,
the camera and the Morse code. The
messages must first be prepared 10y the

opposite. and while II takes nearly as
much time 10 prepare this message as
Il does 10 send under the present sys-
tenn, the new device has countless adj
vantages. In the first place, the work
az preparing the perforated strips OF
paper Is not necessarily done by one
man.

No Gold In the Zinc Ores.

H. L. Darlington of Joplin, Mo,
says that if there is any gold in
the zince ores in Southeastern
Kansas, he has never heard of it.
THE ores have been assayed for
gold and silver over and over
again." he said, "and the best re-
suits were from half to one and a
half ounces of silver and a trace
of gold | don't know Mr.. Sauer,
who claims to have found gold in
the ore, but | do know the ores and

body has made a mistake"

DIR. PHILIP r. UHLER, a promi-
nent bugologist of the East, re-
lieves the public mind somewhat
when he says the kissing bug,
which is said to have appeared in
Denver, is merely the rhyomata
cincus, commonly called the wheel
bug, from an arrangement which
looks like a cogwheel on the tho
rax. The insects usually travel in
companies and are sometimes called
soldier bngs. They are about an
inch and half long when full
grown, but do not attain their full
growth until September. They
are dark gray with reddish anten-
nae. He says the only way to get
rid of them is to kill them off ore
at time. If they have suffi-
ciently varied menu of small in
sects it is understood that they will
leave larger prey alone. They
como upon people while they slum-
Der, thrust the sharp bill into the
tender flesh, usually of the face,
and depart before the victim knows
what has happened. For three or
four days afterward intense pain
and swelling in the neighborhood
of the stung portion of lips or cheek
serve as reminders of the visit, and
death sometimes ensues.

SENATOR ADAMS OPPOSES.

The senator from Conejos coun-
ty is not in sympathy with the
new eight-hour law, as will be seen
by the following quotation:
IF it hadn't been for the alb
sence of Senator Meyer, who was
snowbound up in the mountains,
the bill would have been sent to
the supreme court before it got
through" said Senator Adams,
"but there was a tie and Senator
Meyer was not there to add his
vote to the list of those favoring
the submission. The law is bad
one and the people doing coal min
ing down our way were opposed to
it. They work by the job and they
have to work longer hours in the
winter in order to balance the
short hours of the summer"

SECRETARY OF STATE
Rules in Regard to the Use OF
Internal Revenue Stamps.


Secretary of State Beckwith has
made general ruling concerning
revenue stamps which will be of
interest to all lawyers and others
who have dealings with that office.
The attorney general and the inter
nal revenue collector have been
appealed to and each has in turn
ruled on certain matters which the
secretary of state has grouped, and
will hereafter observe in the trans
action of the business of his office.
The law provides that corpora
tions may file n certificate of
their impression seals, but the Ian
guage was not considered manda-
tory by some, hence the request for
an opinion. Attorney General
Campbell handed in an opinion to
the secretary yesterday morning to
the effect that the law concerning
corporate seals is mandatory, and
all certificates of such, and the
notary certificates accompanying
them, should bear a 10-cent reve-
nue. stamp on each. This plan has
been followed heretofore, and no
loss will result in this case.
Secretary Beckwith rules that
these documents be accompanied
by a 10 cent revenue stamp in each
case, and cancelled, the notary's
certificate to be cancelled by the
notary. In addition, these, the fol-
lowing filings will have to bear a
1O-cent revenue stamp each: Ger
tificates of incorporation, all no.
tarial certificates or acknowledges
ments attached to certificates of
incorporation, certificates of paid
up stock.
A gentleman who had docu-
ment to file yesterday refused to pay
ten-cent revenue stamp, claiming
it was not necessary. Deputy
Havens of the secretary's Office
said the office could stand the loss,
and put the stamp on for his cost
omer. The various blanks we're
then taken to Collector Howart for
ruling and each one was passed
on separately.
Since then the secretary has been
looking up matters in the brand
office. A number of forms have
been accepted without re venue
stamps. and should Mr.. Beckwith's s
suspicious be well founded, the
loss will aggregate Sl25 in lack of
stamps. No blame, however, is
attached to any of the clerks, but
should such loss prove a reality,
the amount will be charged to a
misconstruction of the law. Den

d. c. COATES OPINION.

In several instances during Mr..
Coates testimony before the sub
committee of the United States
industrial commission yesterday,
strong indications of fauaticism
and prejudice cropped out.
He hesitated about answering
as to compulsory arbitration, but
he believed arbitration always re-
suited in much good. He also be-
lieves that the issuance of injunc-
tions completely deprives the la
boring man of his liberty
"Instead of being wholesome
deterrent force to prevent the com.
mission of crime,' said Mr.. Coates,
under the use, or abuse, OF the in
junction, it accomplishes directly
opposite result and incites to acts
of violence rather than prevents it.
To be formally accused of intent
to commit crime when nothought
of violence had occurred to their
minds enrages men. Their sense
of the injustice of it is great and
is sometimes overwhelming, caus-
ing reaction in an unfortunate di-
rection and the commission of
overt acts which would never have
been committed had not the in
junction been misapplied."
In answer to the question, Mr..
Coates said he believed the smelter
difficulty would be settled by de-
cision of the courts. He was stag
gered by the further question of
why work was discontinued if a
settlement was anticipated, and
made lame reply.
There is everything to indicate
that Coates is an agitator danger
Gus to the very cause he pretends
to espouse. 1t is such men that
have closed the smelters and are
continuing the difficulty. 1t has
been fact patent ever since the
strikes incipiency that it was not
the idea of the employees themselves
to resort to radical measures in the
matter, but they are under higher
power that dominates, and Coates
is "the power behind the throne"

General Labor Notes.

The New York musicians, who heretofore
have held aloof from the general labor nave
ment, have decided to cast their lot with or
ganized labor
During the past month the Carpenters
Brotherhood has organized local lodges at
Lima, O., Hartford City, Ind, Harrington
Conn, Cambridge, o., Valdosta, Ca, and
Peckville, Pa.
A bill has been introduced in the New York
legislature limiting the hours of labor of rail-
way employees to eight per day. In cases Of
emergency when more than eight hours work
IS required the factory inspector is to be
notified, and he to investigate and have super
vision of the work

charter fees and to ix the minimum of month

feated. This is the first instance since 1886
in which the work of general convention
was so uniformly indorsed
Employers OF labor in the United States
or of any other country. who have adopted
the eight-hour system, all bear testimony to
the general good resulting from the change
"If the results were different, if business did

there is no one who has ever given the sys-
tenn a fair trial-say of one year-who would
be DESTROYS OF or wiling to return to the
old regime of a nine-hour longer work

changes which have come to the workmen
from a reduction in the daily working hours
have marked most grctifyinsly the fact that
