The meeting OF the Southern In

leans, early in December, promises
to be notable gathering. The OF
iect Of the Association is to promote
the manufacturing industries of the
Southern States. No section of the
country has shown greater industrial
growth during the past ten years
than the South, and it shows the
spirit of activity and enterprise now
abroad among its people that SO
much interest is shown in advertis-
ing its resources and opportunities.
The South is learning what every
part of the country, every district
locality and every live business firm
is compelled TO learn-it pays. and it
pays richly to advertise. 1t is not
enough to have resources, they must
be brought to the attention Of the

A most peculiar and unfortunate ac-

department, was very seriously injured,

told by the Minneapolis Tribune is as

on the athletic field with number of
companions. Other students were throw
Ing 16,pound hammer from a point
on the left of the home plate. Owens
was playing III the field, and several
times venturcd too close to- the place
where the hammer usually fell. He was
warned to be careful, but he only
laughed. -<
Finally Carl Jorgens picked up the
heavy hammer and threw it from rs to
80 it. When it left Jorgen's hand Ow-
ems had his back turned, and when he
heard cries of warning he wheeled ab-
rubtly, only to be struck by the hammer
full in the forehead. .+
The heavy missile had great moment
um, and deep hole was torn in the
young mans skull. He was carried un-
conscious into :he srmory, and medical
aid was summoned, Shortly afterwards
be was taken to st. Barnabas hospital.
Late in the afternoon the physicians op-
Grated to remove the splinters of bone,
and in spite of the severe fracture they
think he has fair chances to grow we'll.
Owens was 81 years of age Monday
and has been student in the dental de-
partment two years. He has taken con.
siderable interest in athletics, and has
many friends among his associates.
No blame is attached to the young

Rights Of a Finder

The suit at New Haven of the Fair
Haven & Westville Railroad company
against Andrew McNerney to1ecover by
writ of replevin the pocketbook of Ar
thur H. Day, which was found by
McNerney in one of the cars Of the COM
pany, and which was decided the other
day in favor of the defendent, is of much
interest, says the Hartford Times. The
case was heard in the New Haven county
court, before Judge L. M. Hubbard, for.
merly secretary of the state. >s>>@s
The loss of articles of value in public
conveyance and their finding is Of COM
mon occurrence: but the right of the
finder to the property is not generally
understood. An epitome of Judge Hub
bard's charge upon which the jury found
for the defendent is: 4.s :
''First-The property must have been
legally lost. ~ -l To E.. Z. ..s
ssSecond-The finder must take legal
possession. e
"Third-The finder must act innocently
in the matter and with entire honesty
and good faith toward the owner. !.
ssIn order to constitute legal losing
.the thing must have been actually lost
by the owner, not merely mislaid that
is he must not voluntarily and purpose.
" have laid it away for a time with the
intention Of retaking it, but it must
have voluntarily and accidentally, as
respects the owner, got out Of his posses
sion. =Sss
sIn order to make a man, a finder Of
lost chattel lie must have possession
Of it; and to constitute this possession
three things are necessary 81.
.sA The fact hat the thing found is
in his possession mus, be consciously
known to him.
..B-He must have Cat least the lime
Of finding ply sical power and coEtrol

Speed It which Cable messages Can Be sent.

Ii
One of the essential features of y sub
marine cable is the speed Of signaling.
q operating long cables very delicate
instruments are required, and the cur-
rents arriving at the receiving end are
vary feeble in comparison with those
employed in landline signalling. The
longer the cable, naturally, the fecbler
the impulses arriving at the receiving
end. A short cable, a cable of under
1000 miles being generally considered a,
short cable, gives a speed Of signalling
amply sufficient for all purposes, with
at conductor weighing about 100 pound,
to the miles, surrounded 10y an insula-.
ting envelope ofgutta- percha weighing
about an equal amount. When we come
to a cable of about twice this length it
is found necessary, in order to get a
practically unlimited speed, that is, a.
speed rs high as the most expert oper-
ator can read at. to employ a score of
$50 pounds of copper to the mile, in
sulated with 400 pounds of gutta- -percha
to the mile These are the proper ions
Of copper and gutta-pelcha in the
1894 Anglo American Atlantic cable,
which is considered the record Allan
tic cable for speed OF working, and has
been worked, by automatic transmits
sion, at the rate of s)me 45 words
minute. The type of cable proposed
for the MISUNDERSTANDING section of
the British Pacific cable, as design
ed by Lord Kelvin, is to have
core of 552 pounds of copper and 36S
pounds OF gntta-pereha to the mile, and
is .calculated1to give speed of 10 words
per minute over length of $3.50 miles.
It IS not considered safe to adopt very
mucl, heavier core than this, for the rea-
son tllatathe weight Of the complete ca
BILE with core that should weigh more
than about half ton to the nautical
mile would be go great that picking 1t
up for repairs from depth of 5000
fathoms would be an extremely difficult
and hazardous operation.-From "The
Problems of, a Pacific Cable" Herbert
Laws Webb, in the February Scribner's.

q ss'The farmers of this sect1on," said a.
prominent produce buyer TO The Review
yesterday, care forgetting one of the
crops which might be made a great
source OF revenue to them. Wheat, at
the present prices, is a losing crop and a
more diversified system of farming is
where the money lies. This should oe
one Of the greatest potato growing sec
tions Of the state, but the fact is that
the Brown county potato has no stand
ing whatever IN the market. The reason.
for sthissis very simple. Farmers in this
vicinity pay no attention whatever to
the kind o. grade OF potatoes which
they produce and the result is that it is
absolutely imp possibie for buyer to get
together a single car OF any one kind Of
potatoes for shipment and consequently
must take whatever he can get when lie
goes into the market. What the farmers
should do is IL settle down upon some

HE Minneapolis Tribune has figured
out the alleged fact that the democratic
nominees will not occupy first place on
the ballot at the coming election. The
Tribune's conclusions are as follows:
@#. "The general election law, in provid-
ing for the position of the candidates on
the tickets, states that the party which
wins ON the head of the state ticket shall
have the first position at the ensuing
election, except when there was NO state
election, in which event the head of the
ticket shall be..determined by the win
ming party on the several other tickets.
It also provides that in no case, in Sc
lectlng the head of the ticket, shall any
party be counted Ewhere election has
been secured by combination with any
.other party. John Lind was fusion
candidate, hence the Democrats will not
have the first place on the ticket. The
facts they will have the very last posi-
ton on every ticket, for this reason.
The last state ticket had on it. candidates
running on the Republican ticket, the
Prohibition ticket, the Socialist Labor
ticket and the Midroad Populist ticket.
These were all straight parties, hence
they will have POSITIONS on the next
election ticket in order, while the Dem
Gratis will be obliged to take last place,
because they did not have ! aingle can
didate running on the state ticket

Now that the Puerto Rico bill is a law
What IS the status of an inhabitant of
sfuerto Rico? The law says he is citi-
zen OF Puerto Rico.
But what is Puerto Rico? It is not a
part of the United States. If it were
the law would be unconstitutional,
1t is not an independent country. If it
IS, we have no business legislating for it,
unless we intend tend to set it up for itself.
