THE WIRELESS" AT WORK

T. EXPERIMENTS in dspatchng weather reports
r ~ wireless teegraphy from the Farallones to
IL Point Reyes are now in operation. skilled
expect, who has had practice in the new system OF
teegraphy in the East has been sent out by the De
partment of Agriculture to install the service and he
IS now operating it. We have therefore virtually at
tanned the wireless teegraphy for which The Call has
so long worked and which has been SO much desired
not by the weather bureau only but by all persons
who are interested in shipping and shipping news
The subject has been so fully discussed that the
public is familiar with the benefits that may be
pected to accrue from the new service. Hereafter
we shall receive much earlier notice OF the arrival
OF shipping under any conditions of the weather, and
in times of fog the benefits will Be exceptionally
great
With the installation of the system there will of
course come the adoption of on all important
sells so that it will be possible for them communi
cate with the Farallones and both give and receive
news long before they enter port. That in itself will
be an immense advantage and will far than re-
pay the cost of the service to the Government.
While the benefits which the wireless system Of
telegraphng will confer upon the shipping interests
OF the port thus apparent the understanding Of
all it is not to be overlooked that the service has
been installed by the Department of Agriculture and
is designed primarily assist the weather bureau in
making forecasts of the movements Of rains storms
and winds One of the difficulties with which the Of
icers of the bureau have had to contend on this
has been that of getting any sort of informa
ton concerning the weather to the west of u.s.
Storms and rains and fogs would come out of the
ocean without any warning coming to the weather
officials. The station at the Farallones will afford
help in dealing with that difficulty 1t will en-
able the forecast officer learn earlier than he has
been able to do in the past what OF weather is
the in vicinity and in what direction its
winds moving
Great the immediate benefits to be expected
OF wireless telegraph service from the Faralones to
this city, they to be exceeded by the bene-
fits which will be obtained in the future The new
style OF telegraphy is yet in its infancy 1t is but
few years ago that The Call achieved for the first time
in history the feat of obtaining news by that system
Of telegraphing and when the feat was accomplished
II met by storm of rdicule by the yellow press
Now the system is in operation all the great ports
OF the world, and the Atlantic nearly every
large steamer and many smaller ones are euuipped
with it. 1t is hard to set limits to the expanding
usefulness of such system as this and it NAV be
accounted certain that the benefits flowing from if
will steadily increase for many year to come

MOLL PITCHER-Vallombro Mendo-
cino County, Cal. The woman known in
American history as MOL Pitcher" was
born in Pennsylvania. Her name was
Mary Ludwig, daughter of John George
Ludwig who came to this country from
Germany with the Palatines. She was a
servant in the family of General William
Irvine at Carlisle, Pa, and married a
barber named John Hays July a. 1853
On December 1 he was commissioned
gunner in Proctor's First Pennsylvania
artillery, Continental line. When he went
into active service she followed him, as
did the wives of many soldiers, doing
laundry work for the officers. At the bat
tie of Monmouth she carried a pitcher
giving water to the soldiers and from that
fact she was called Mon Pitcher. When
her husband was killed at his post she
took his place and her conduct so pleased
General Greene that he introduced her to
General Washington, who made her a
sergeant. She was pensioned by the Gov
e1 nment afterward married Sergeant
George McCaulley, died at the age of 70,
and the citizens of Cumberland County.

Der OF younger men, that there is provided sort
OF perpetual succession to the come-outers of 1896.
When the Republican party is beaten it will be by
some great schsm in its own ranks and the Of
such division does not appear now by any analysis
of existing conditions.
The party will go forward in the path that it has
steadfastly followed fortunate in having far at
racted TO it the best and highest elements from the
ranks of its opposition.
There was time that the Democracy consisted of
the Southern States and New York City. Now this
combination is broken, for it is proved that that party
can no longer rely New York City, either in Pres
dental or local elections, and the party takes on
more and more the appearance of purely sectional
organization, with the race question as its sole ex-
cuse for existence.
This winter will probably see the final victory Of
an isthmian canal and its necessary collateral the
creation of merchant marine both as Republican
achievements.
President Roosevelts policy will satisfy the aspra-
ton OF the country for the control of the trusts by
curblng their power for harm and destroying their
stimulus of speculation. Then what is left? Mr..
Bryan may continue to talk about our commerciasm
and putting the dollar above the man. but Republican
policy will continue to make more dollars per
than the country ever had before, and make it easier
for the man to get them than ever before.

Here is a Pennsylvania story showing variety Of
life in the good town of Wkesbarre: Two women
quarreed often and so loudly over their back
fence that the neighbors put up fence sixteen feet
high and warned the women not to break it down.
The women unable to see each other any more,
but they found knothole in the fence and shouted
seedlings through that. Thereupon the neghbors
appointed committee to inform the women that
less they quit wrangling they would be out of
town. 1t is in that way the Pennsylvanians maintain
their reputation for peace and quietness.
