ELECTRIC PROBLEMS.
What a Leading German Scien
fist Predicts.
ELECTRICITY DIRECT FROM COAL.
IT VIII BE the Poor Mans source OF
Power and Light VIII Be Used to
Propei Express Trains at Great Rate
of Speed.

Berlin. Jan 3l.-Prof. A. Slaby, OF
the Berlin Technisehe H2chshule, in
the course of remarkable interview
on the coming electrical revolution,
which Is to appear In the forthcoming
number Of a new technical periodical
asserts that his recent invention,
multiplex wireless telegraphy, will
produce very great transformation
III existing methods. 1t will be pos
sible he declares, to apply the princi-
pie to the submarine cables in such
way as to send hundreds and thou
sands of messages simultaneously on
the same wire, thus enormously
cheapening rates.
Prof. Slaby believes that the prob
lem of direct production of electricity
from coal will be solved. Germany
he predicts, will be the foremost ma
ton of the twentieth century in tech
nical production, and electricity will
be the poor mans source of power
and light.
He is confident of the success Of
the electrical express locomotives
now being constructed III Berlin for
a speed of 200 kilometres an hour.

Columbus, O.. Jan. 31.-The coal
operators of Ohio. Indiana and ILL
nois are already gathered here in con
siderable numbers, preparatory to
the conference with the miners
which is scheduled for today. Con
ferences are being held by the diff
ferent states. and the indications are
that there will be lively fight if the
miners insist on the demands agreed
upon at the indianapolis convention.
Operators already here are inclined
to look upon the demands as in the
nature of a bluff, saying that the
miners wll be satisfied to continue
on the present basis. Others say that
the three demands made. run of mine.

Washington. Jan. 31.-An article in
prominent Chinese newspaper Of
recent date a copy OF which has just
reached Washington, chronicles a
condition which may become an inn
portant factor in the final disposition
of the Chinese question. The article
states:
"A very important movement is
going forward all over China, and
more particularly along the Yangtse
basin, in response to special orders
from the viceroys and governors.
Bodies of volunteers are being ac-
lively enrolled and drilled i'll the use
of firearms, nominally for their own
protection. bnt In reality they form a
large and formidable reserve force.
Every guild and trade. in addition to
all well-to-do gentry, have these vol

armed by the government. They are
not a public institution like regular
troops, bit are dispersed about in

tinguishing feature and In the event
OF further hostility will spring up

TO PROTECT THE BANKS.
Inception of New system by Promi
nent Baltimore Firm.


Baltimore, Jan. 31-A secret exam
ination of the accounts has just been
made In every department of the
Merchants National bank, one of the
leading financial institutions of this
city. The examination was conduct
ed with so much secrecy that not
even the most trusted employees of
the bank knew that it was in
progress, although two weeks were
occupied in making it. Douglass IL.
Thomas, president of the bank, gave
the following explanation of it:
I'VE have taken,e he said, what
| believe TO be a new departure in
banking customs, in that we have
had a thorough oyerhauling of the
affairs of the bank in order to assure
ourselves beyond doubt that no ir-
regularities nor discrepancies exist in
any department There has been no
suspicion on our part. nor has the eX-
animation been made because of any
thing tending to raise 4 doubt in our
minds concerning anything or any
body connected with the bank. 1t is
simply the inception of a system
which we purpose to adopt in the

tons of similar nature independent
of those made by the board of direc-
tors and the national bank examiner.

adopted long continued manipulation

being included in one state, is ag-

WINDOW DECORATIONS.

How perfectly beautiful" exclaimed
a visitor as she entered the favorite
sitting room of the chatelaine OF
charming country house. 1t was no
wonder she stood transfixed with ad-
miration. Before her, nearly filling
one end of the room, was deep re-
cessed window and window seat, the
former with large plate glass sashes
that made the room seem part OF
fruit orchard beyond, which was just
bursting into pink and white silken
cushions to match great semicircle
of hyacinths and tulips just outside
that blazed with color within theil
setting of emerald green turf. TheiI
soft tints of pink, yellow. blue, white
purple, lilac and dark red were all ex-
actly reproduced in the piled up cush'
ions of the window seat.

LAND AND WORK.

For colossal impudence it would
seem hard to surpass the claim Of John
D. Rockefeller, that he has given to
men work of the value of $500, 000, 900
and given it, too, in spirit of
benevolence. What Rockefeller has
really done has been to seize the
source of employment-th earth, and
then to permit men to labor on it and
produce wealth of which he kept the
largest share. The work" would have
been there in the oil regions had
Rockefeller never been born. Indeed,
there would have been more work for
he has been a monopolizer, fore
staller, a reducer of consumption, and
by his interferences with trade has
obstructed the natural growth Of the
oil industry.
Yet Rockefeller's CLAIM is only a
personal arrogation of the impersonal
claim SO often made that the rich give
employment to the poor; a statement
which has just this much Of truth in it,
as the Springfield Republican points
out: "That when natural bounty has
been monopolized for private profit

BROWN HAIR IS POPULAR.
Auburn and Blonde Tresses Have Gone
Out Of Fashion.

Auburn and Blonde Tresses Have Gone
Out of Fashion.
The woman of today who desires to
be fashionable must wear brown tress-
es. whether she seeks to shine upon
the stage or in society. The change Is
not due to the initiative Of the stage,
however. The mania for blonde hair
some years ago was most evident
among the footlight favorites. Then
came the more recent rage for all
shades and grades Of auburn hair,
of which Zaza was the spectacular ex-
ample. The quiet, domesticated
brown hair of so many player women
today reflects the vogue for 1t in all
classes Of society. Miss Mannering,
Miss Marlowe, Miss Anglin, Miss
Eleanor Robson, Miss Tyree, Miss
Bates and many more have won sue
cess in spite of what would once have
been considered a tremendous handi-
cap-brown hair. 1t is the blonde &C.
tress-whether actually or artificially
so-who is handicapped today. She
not only suggests the socially fast
and furious, but she is old-fashioned
which is even worse. Most light
haired actresses, such as Miss Adams.
are light-haired and nothing more.
They are careful not to hint at the
word blonde. 1t is noticeable that the
brown-haired actresses are, as rule.
recent recrults to the profession.
They represent the new order of
things. Among women in private life
that one meets on the streets, at the
shops and in cafes, brown hair is
much more common than it has been
for years. 1t is the fashion, and
good one; it stands for the real rather
than the false.-Chicago Chronicle.

FOR THE WRITING TABLE.

FOR THE WRITING TABLE
There is a growing liking among
housekeepers for writing table In the
drawing room, and there is much to
be said in its favor, although at first
thought it seems somewhat unneces-
sary. 1t certainly cannot be used for
private correspondence, bills or other
strictly personal matters, but often 1t
is convenient for the visitor who may
wish to leave a message for an absent
friend, to write an address or some
such trifie.
Only writing table, be 1t under
stood, not a writing desk, is to be es-
tablished in the drawing room, and 1t
should always be made as decorative
as possible, harmonizing with the gen.
eral character Of the room. An extre-
mely simple writing table would be out
of place in an apartment brilliant In
color and furnishings, and a highly
ornate one would not be suited to a
room rather severe in style. In any
case, II Is in better taste to use only
dark colors, when a cover is needed,
leaving to the fitments of brass, silver
or glass, the task of providing the de-
sirable brightness. A carved table OF
black oak looks well with a scarf OF
deep crimson or dark blue satin with
embroidered ends that hang well over
Such an arrangement would harmonic
with somewhat stately room. A friv-
olous room with much color and CLEAN
of gold might have gilt table, but
never a black oak, says the New York
Tribune.
