LOADS OF PENNIES.
School Board Has Difficulty in Dispos-
ing of Coppers Collected for
Galveston Sufferers.

In the, collection taken up in the
Queensborough schools, New York, for
the Galveston sufferers 26,750 pennies
were turned in, and the school board
was sorely perpleSed. The officials did
not realize how much trouble they had
on their hands until they sought to de-
post the money. The pennies were
first offered to the Flushing savings
bank. The cashier would take all the
bills and coins of a larger denomina-
ton, bit declined the pennies.
Then the Queens county bank was
visited and Manhattan was invaded by
representative OF the board, who went
to bank after bank and tried to get rid
of his pennies. But they would not be
received, and the school people became
disheartened.
The pennies meantime were dumped
in a big packing box in the cellar of the
board of education building, in Main
street, Flushing. They weighed sew
eral hundred pounds, and as six men
were required to lift them burglars
were not feared.
The school board advertised that it
had lots of pennies for exchange and
would turn them over for quarters and
dollars to any person wanting them.
This brought big department store to
the rescue and it took them.

MARcoNrs METHOD LEARNED.
London Scientist Discovers Secret
Used for Transmitting of EIec-
trical Energy without Wires.

q Prof. Fleming, the famous electri-
clan of London university, is under
stood to be engaged in important ex-
periments in connection with novel
form for the transmission of cleo
trical energy. There is reason to be-
lieve that the professor has discov-
cred the means by which such power
is distributed without wires-i e., by
utilizing the ether as Marconi does
for ordinary signaling. Marcori, by
the way, is somewhat upset by the
discovery that other experimenters
are using an apparatus practically the
same as his, which he thought was
known only to himself, notably his
coherer. which consists of nickel fl
ings mixed with little silver in a
Dranley tube and of nickel rods at
each end of the tube

JOKE ON A GERMAN DIPLOMAT.
An Amusing Story About Count RAJ

to France.

In a drawing-room where the con-
versation turned the other night on
the successor of Prince Munster Won
Bernburg as German ambassador in
Paris diplomat, who has been his col
league in ST. Petersburg, told the fol-
lowing anecdote:
Prince Radolin. although man of
much good sense. has the reputation Of
being somewhat self-conscious. One
of his friends, who had known him as
Count Radolinsky. name which he
bore until the reign of Frederick III,
accosted him one day with Good day,
Radolinsky!''
sRadolinI corrected the prince,
somewhat tartly.
Two years later the same friend met
the German ambassador again and,
holding out his hand, said:
sAh, good day Rado!"
And, as the prince allowed his sur
prise to be visible, he added: Doesn't
your name lose a syllable year?'

SIGHT RESTORED BY PRAYER.
The Remarkable Case OF a Minister
Stone Blind for Twenty
Years.

A remarkable case of restoration
of sight after years of total blind
ness comes from Kenton county, Ky.
The experience is that of Rev. j. w.
lies, of the Methodist Episcopal
church on Decoursy creek. Rev. Mr..
Hes is 27 years old. At the age of
II an attack of measles severely af-
fected his eyes. They became weaker,
and in four years his sight had totally
vanished.
Sat this time,' said Mr.. lies, ST
saw two well-known oculists of Gin
cinnati. They said there was no hope
of my ever regaining sight, as both
optic nerves were destroyed. About
four years ago was married with
out ever having seen my bride. I
became a minister, and preached for
several years in Pendleton and Ken
ton counties, and have been at Gin
cinnati several weeks.
"one evening recent1y after church
service a number of the brethren and
sisters said they felt the Lord was
about to reight my eyes. I was then
still stone blind. All prayed earnest
ly for return of my sight. Two Of
the friends put their hands on my
head, when, in the midst of the
prayer, four scales or cataracts fell
off my eyes and I saw my wife and
my little child for the first time in
my life.
MY eyes have since improved every
day I can see well enough to read
coarse print in the morning before
my eyes are strained by intense light.

NEW BRIDGE SHOWS STRENGTH
satisfactory Military Tests of the
Point Alexandra Structure
in Paris.

solid as the Pont Neuf'' used to be a
favorite Partisan smile. Now this his
toric bridge threatens no longer to
justify the formula, for some of it's
arches are in need of being strength
ened, and the popular phrase will prob
ably give way to this: solid as the
Pont Alexandra"
This new bridge, whose construction
was begun by Emperor Nicholas at the
same time as the seal was set upon the
Franco-Russian alliance-which it will
possibly survive-has just undergone
final test. for which it had been pre-
pared by the passage of several mil
lion visitors during the exposition. Lo-
connective engines and stone-laden
trucks have been sent across it, not to
speak of heavy field guns, for the mate
rial of war, as everybody knows, is the
indispensable complement of every
work of peace.
The bridge stood the test admirably,
to the great joy of its architect.

HEIR TO BE PRINCE OF ROME.
Fathers Wishes in Spite of the
Vatican's Protest.

AS announced the young king and
queen of Italy will be blessed with
issue, but the glad news will not be
officially known for a couple Of
months yet. King Humbert at the
time of his sons marriage to Princess
Helena of Montenegro stated that in
the event of a son being born he
would receive the title of prince Of
Rome. Although the statement was
made privately, the vatican heard of
it, as it hears of everything that
transpires at the royal court, and a
formal protest was made. The pro-
test will be renewed, doubtless If
Helena should have the happiness to
bear a son, but young Victor Emman-
uel will pay no heed to it, his MUIR
dered fathers wishes being sacred to
him.

PREDICTS WOMAN PRESIDENT.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Says Her
Sex Is Making Rapid
Progress.

If women make as much progress
in the twentieth century as they did
in the nineteenth century, America
is likely to have woman for presi-
dent before 1000 A. D., says Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage association.
She said SO in the first of the three
addresses she gave at the remnant
sale which the suffragists held in
ST. Georges hall, Philadelphia.
Mrs. Gait was asked whether any
woman now living was fitted to be
president. She replied: NO; her Pc
itical life is only beginning, and years
of experience in the avenues that the
next century will open are needed to
equip her for service in the white
house"

STARR TO STUDY INDIANS.
Chicago Anthropologist Has Left to
Investigate Mexican
Tribe.

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the Uni
versity of Chicago. has left for a six
months trip among some of the wild
and unknown tribes of Mexico. The
Lacandones, one of the tribes he ex-
poets to visit, are one of the least
known peoples in the western hemis-
phere. They lead wandering lives
and use crude stone implements and
are as timid as rabbits, leaving their
homes at the approach of strangers.
A village is to be studied where in
1869 all the whites and breeds
were killed and old pagan religion re-
established. The people crucifed a
boy in order that they might have an
Indian Christ. A priestess led the
outbreak.
While in the state of Chiapas pinto,
a peculiar and little understood skin
disease, will be investigated. The
skin becomes covered with perma-
nent red, white or purple spots.
Pinto is but slightly contagious and is
not painful. Nearly 90 per cent. of
some of the towns are affected.
Prof Starr will have the aid Of
three assistants, photographer. plas-
ter-worker and a guide. Much of the
travelling will be through dense trop-
zeal forests and 800 miles of horse
back riding will be necessary One
hundred and twenty-five women of
each tribe are to be measured and
five plaster busts made. The present
is Prof. STAIRS twelfth trip to Mex
leo and the last. as he expects to
complete his studies of the south
Mexican Indian.

FEW FROM TROPICS.
America Fails to Attract Immigra-
ton from Warmer Chimes.
Study of Immisrations Statistics shows
Peculiar Circumstance Nearly
Half Million Foreigners Flocked
Into Country During 1900.

Nearly half million people from
other parts of the world have come
into the United States during the year
1900, seeking permanent homes. The
details of the immigration during the
ten months ending with October gath
cred by the immigration bureau and
published by the bureau of statistics
indicate that the immigration for the
calendar year will reach about 100000.
OF this number more than 100000 come
from Austria Hungary, another 100,-
600 from Italy and nearly anoth-
er 100000 from Russia, while the
United Kingdom furnishes more
than $4,000, of which number 49,
600 are from Ireland. Of the AGO.
600 immigrants, fully 100000 come
from Europe, while but 1000, or less
than one per cent, come from the trop-
les.
The indisposition of man in his mi
grations to select colder country than
that to which he has been accustomed
is distinctly perceptible in the history
of our immigration. In all the years
in which detailed records of the coun-
try of origin of the millions of immi-
grants who have come into the United
States have been carefully kept, the.
tropics have seldom sent an average of
more than one per cent. of the people
seeking permanent homes in the Unit
ed States. This fact is especially en-
phasized. however, by the record of the
year just ended. since it offers the first
opportunity to observe whether or not
the citizens of the islands now con-
trolled by the United States indicate
disposition to transfer their resi-
dence to this country. The fact
that during the year the immigration
from Oceania, India, Arabia, South
America, Central America and the,
West Indies - combined the entire
tropical territory of the world
amounts to less than 1000 people, or
less than one per cent. of the total i'm
migration, indicates the unwilling
ness of the average citizen of tropical
lands to transfer his residence to even
so mild climate as the United States
offers. The further fact that during
the year 1900 the total number of i'm
migrants coming from the Hawaiian
and Philippine islands into the United
States was less than $50 indicates still
further the unpopularity of climate,
such as our own, even when joined with
the material prosperity such as exists
in no other part of the world, with ma
tives of the tropics

A short Term.

While Mr.. Towne's service in the
senate will be very brief, it will not
be the shortest senatorial term in
the history of that body. Robert Ran
tout. Jr.. was elected by the coalition
legislature of Massachusetts, to fill
the unexpired term of Webster in the
senate when Webster entered the cab
met of Fillmore. Mr.. Rantoul was
then in the far west, and did not get
back until the 22d of February, when
he served from that time until the
4th of March.

HYPNoTIsM USED IN SURGERY
Painless Operation Perform d Upon a
Woman Without Use of
Anesthetics.

The usual procedure of placing a
patient under the influence of an an
esthetic before commencing a surgical
operation was omitted in the case OF
Mrs. NJ. F. Stewart at hospital in
Ewing place, Chicago, the other day.
Hypnotic influence served the purpose
of chloroform or ether and did it eff

It required but three minutes to
get the patient into the hypnotic
state. The pulse ran from ~ to ia,
and there were variations in the
temperature. Aside from this there

She was completely insensible to the
pain from knife or needle, but COM

during the operation, was too warm.
When the operation was over Mrs.
Stewart was brought out of the
spell and described her feelings. She
said that as the knife cut into her
flesh there was tickling-like sensation.
What seemed the most strange to
her was the sewing with curved
needle. It seemed to her that she was
suspended in air rather than lying
upon table. At times her mind
would concentrate upon the nurse.

WOULD CHANGE TOWNS NAME
Petition Legislature for Name
of Ossining.

The citizens of the village of Sing
Sing, New York, has taken action at
a pbliuc meeting in regard to petit
tioning the legislature to change it's
present name of Sing Sing to that
of Ossining, the name of the town
ship in which Sing. Sing is situated.
sOssining is of Indian origin, as is
also that of Sing Sing, taken from
that of tribe of Mohegan Indians
known as .'Sintsinchss,," who occupied
this locality in the early part of the
seventeenth century.
This movement is fostered by the
merchants and business interests of
the village, who have come to the
realization that the name Sing Sing
carries to the outside world no other
meaning than that of the penal in
stitution that is situated on the river
bank south of the limits of the vii
lage proper.
While the census just completed
shows an unprecedented increase in
the population in the other towns in
Westchester county during the last
ten years, Sing Sing has decreased
from a population in 1890 of 1858 to
population of 1898, falling off of
Lab. This is due to the fact that
manufacturers cannot be induced to
locate at Sing Sing because their RI
walls in business will assure people
that their goods are made in Sing
Sing, and the purchasers will imme-
ditaely have the impression that the
goods are prison made and will not
buy them.
