TUESDAY. NOVEMBER IS. 800.

THERE is every reason to think
that the Franklin Syndicate, with
Offices in New York, if let alone
year longer by the newspapers
would have made the men managing
its affairs millionaires They took
in on an average nearly 5000, 900 a
week. OF this, they paid back to
their victims weekly 10 per cent as
dividends. The first suckers to go
into the get rich quick scheme got
good returns on their investment,
but the poor fools who sent their
money during the last six months,
simply got roasted. When the rooms
of'the so-called syndicate we're
raided, $50, 600 WI as captured by the
police in that mornings mails.
More that 200 men and women wait
ed about the headquarters yester-
day for, news of Miller, the king of
the joint, who's said 10 be million
aire from the proceeds Of his num-
erous victims. The only wonder is
that the newspapers had not shown
the blind pool up long before this.
But they have done the public
good turn by running the syndicate
to earth and out of business. They
were simply set of sharpers who
were too lazy to work and took this
means of living off their wits and
the money of the poor fools who
bit at their bait of big interest on

A Jurors lmpresslO

A juryman from the rural district
of New Castle county, said he never
had seen Walter. Hayes until he
came into the Court House, being
drawn on thisy cars panel. He was
drawn on the jury and said: "When
Mr.. Hayes first arose to address
the jury | thought he was the ug-
llest man ever saw. But before
he was through conducting the case
! thought he was the handsomest
that ever saw He is now one of
the warmest admirers that Attorney
Hayes has in Delaware. The law
yers all unite in saying that the
Cole case was one OF the best ham
died by Mr.. Hayes and his associate
that has been tried in our Court
House for some time.

WIRELESS TeLE0RAPhY.


Successful Tests OF an Invention That
Outdoes MaroOni'a System.
Chicago, Nov. 28.-Professor W. s.
Johnson and G. L. Fortier. of Mil
waukee, yesterday made successful
test In this city Of the wireless tele-
graph. They succeeded in telegraph
ing, without wires. through suite of
seven rooms with all the doors closed
and through seven walls. Another
test was made, when the signals were
conveyed through three flreproof
vaults and an ordinary telegraph
switchboard, in which 80 wires were
connected up and about 40 dead wires
were located. Notwithstanding the
fact that this switchboard contained
live wires. the current passed through
all of the vaults and through this
board. This Is one of the most severe
tests that has ever been given wireless
telegraphy. In a third successful test
the sending instrument was placed in
side of one of the steel vaults and both
doors were closed and the combination
lock turned. Inc signals were then
transmitted clearly from the inside of
the vault to an adjoiring room.
The professor claims that his inven-
tion is materially different from that
of Marconi's. in that the instruments
can be constructed to be carried on
horseback and to be ready for opera
tiOn within few moments.

cabled back here that q thousand
armed Cuban Insurgents have taken to
the woods In the province Of Pinar del
Rio and that q general uprising against
the Americans has been planned for
Thanksgiving day. The story 10 abb
solutely discredited by the American
authorities, who say It 10 impossible
that anything Of the kind should have
happened or should be In prospect
without knowledge Of 1t coming to

It is q fact, however, that many

Of the island, there will be rising Of

contents will be practically bandits,
easily controlled by a few troops.
Others hold that the rising would be
formidable and would call for large
American force.

ASIDE from the money in the stu
alton, the conditions affecting the
stock market are generally in favor
of better prices. Earnings OF both
railroads and Industrials are ex-
cellent, especially the latter. In
fact the earnings Of the iron and
steel combinations are phenomenal,
with the prospect of continuing SO
tor months to come. The year 1900
is practically certain to see high
err range of values. A few uncer-
taintIes cloud the financial horizon,
but they are Of temporary char
acter and, accidents excepted, we
look for general advance as soon
as the speculative leaders find cir
cumstances favorable to some con-
certed action. At present. says
Henry Clews, we have only trad
ers' market and the daily huctua-
tons have little significance.
