The more one thinks about wireless
telegraphy the more amazing 1t seems.
BY Marconis method, messages are
sent over, or through. mountain
ranges: and the curving segment OF
the earth covered by the ocean, does
not prevent communication between
ships sixty miles apart. Still more
marvellous is 1t that simultaneous mes
eaKes can be transmitted by "tun-
ing" the instruments SO as to produce
a difference in the vibrations; but 1t
has long been known that countless
waves of light and sound can pass
and repass, crossing eacn other in
every conceivable direction, without
the least Interference.

1t is singular, but true, that the in
dustrial school system OF the United
States owes its origin, in large part
to Hawaii. General Armstrong, the
founder OF Hampton Institute. was
the son OF that Hawaiian educator
who organized the schools OF the Ha-
waiian Islands. Hampton this winter
contains eight grandchildren Of former
Indian students. Honolulu. in the
course of but single generation,
shows a still more notable instance OF
rapid aboriginal development. A former
queen OF Hawaii. awakened to sense
Of a fner civilization, came with
great pomp and retinue to express her
wish for reform. Unwrapping from
her body the seventy-nve yards of
broAdcloth which had composed her
royal robe, she burned 1t in the public
square. Her niece, Lady Bishop, later
bequeathed her entire property Of over
a million dollars to the cause Of edu-
cation In Hawaii. Today the COM
pulsory school system of thoss, Islands
is 80 admirable that Australia lately
ssut there for teacher to expound IN
the southern continent the Hawaiian
American system Of education.

under the most favorable circum.
stances before next fall. at the ear
ltest. This Is conceding the possibility
that the Cuban convention may adopt
constitution entirely acceptable to
this government ON or before the first
Of April next.
1t is recognized on all sides that it
will require several months after the
adoption OF the constitution to com
plete the organization of the Cuban
government and have 1t in successful
operation. All the national officers
must be chosen, laws enacted for the
collection Of the revenues and the es-
tablishment OF q stable government a
police force or constabulary organized
to take the place OF the United
States military force for tie preserva-
order, and the municipal governments
must be organized.
In this country at least three months
notice is given Of a general election,
and 1t Is urged that. owing to the con-
dttions in Cuba. where all the prelim-
mary election machinery has yet to be
prepared, 1t will take more time to pre-
pare for the election Of the president
and other national officers, after which
the administrative officers must be ap-
pointed and the necessary laws enact
ed before the structure OF government
can be properly established.
At any rate, such is the view Of the
officers Of the administration, as stated
by prominent member Of the Cabinet
who is thoroughly familiar with the
situation. This gentleman said also
that when the Cuban government Is in
successful operation the United States
troops will be withdrawn from the ISL
and. Such withdrawal. he said, would
be made when the Cuban government

. 1t is pleasant to record the fact that
the consular service is gradually work
ing out of politics, thatnore and more
fitness is considered in the original
choice OF consuls. that ef1cient men
are promoted from less important to
more important stations, and that the
effects OF the improved system in ad-
vancing American trade are SO marked
that the new way is approved by all
who study the subject. The cleverness

He jumped right into the light to

Denver, Colo. Feb 12.-Theodore
Roosevelt has saved the lives of GOO
deer this year, according to Game War
den Johnson. who has just returned
from Meeker and is at the Windsor,
says the Denver Post
Great luck is attending the expedi-
tion of the Rough Rider. and when
last heard from on Thursday he had
killed twelve lions. Now the game
warden has estimated during years of
frontier life that each full grown lion
kills on an average at least fifty deer
each year. Accordingly the twelve
lions shot by Roosevelt would have
slain during the coming year alone not
less than GOO deer. The game wardea
makes this statement seriously and
says that all hunters agree that the
lions are the worst foes to the deer in
the mountains.
He kills lions In hand to- hand COM
bats, too" said Mr. Johnson this morn
ing. There Ia no question about that.
l thought that 1t was all newspaper
talk when first heard of 1t, but
know now that the statements arc true,
for have 1t from reliable men. VIII
son, a rancher down there at Keystone,
a man whom I know to be absolutely
reliable, told me the story of what he
actually saw.
He said that when the Vice Presi-
dent was at Keystone some days ago.
he went out to the mountains with
him. Wilson never saw such hunting
In his life. "A lion had been freed by
the dogs and the hunters who did not
want to kill 1t there. threw clubs at it,
to make 1t jump out. When 1t came
down the dogs tackled and there was
q fierce encounter.

his left hand, but he could not shoot

Topeka Saloons Closed.
Topeka, Kas. Feb. 1c.-As "A result
Of the meeting. OF the citizens OF To-
peka yesterday afternoon all the joints
of the city were closed yesterday. The
citizens made the peremptory order
that the saloons be closed by noon, and

Early yesterday morning Chief Of
Police Stahl. with some of his officers,
made the rounds Of. the joints and no.

ed In the interest of law and good order
to close at once.
The citizens committee has made all
the necessary arrangements for the en-

Joints, and will insist that the order
be carried out to the letter and that

WHAT 1T COSTS TO MARRY.
Only a Five Dollar Bill Is Necessary
to Defray the Expenses in
Most Places.

Marriage is one of the cheapest of
luXuries if one reckons only the outlay
required for the payment of the preach
er or magistrate who performs the
ceremony and the cost of the license in
such states as require licenses. Any
minister, priest or preacher of the
Gospel in the United States may SOL
emnize marriages, and in many states
judges for one or more classes of
courts may officiate, In all save half
a dozen states, too, justices of the
peace have the privilege of officiating
at the highly important function, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
In some parts of the United States
the person performing a marriage GER
emory must have personal knowledge
of the identity, names and residence of
the parties, and inasmuch as such laws
are enforced in some of the western
states where young people frequently
drive long distances to be married, the
stipulation has on occasion caused
more or less inconvenience. In most
of the states two witnesses are re-
quired TO be present at the solemniza-
ton of marriage, although in some
states a single witness is sufficient.
There is still in force in Pennsylvania
an old law which prescribes that IL
witnesses shall be present, but this ex-
action is seldom if ever enforced. Per-
haps the strangest stipulation of all
is that which appears in the laws of
Tennessee, and is to the effect that the
validity of a marriage shall be in no.
wise affected by the omission of the
baptismal name of either party in the
license and the use of a nickname in
stead, provided the parties can be iden-
titled. Any person conversant with
the conditions prevailing in the noun
tain districts of Tennessee will appre-
ciate the wisdom of this unique pro-
viso.
Common supposition is to the effect
that the fee for performing the mar
riage ceremony is dependent entirely
upon the generosity Of the bridegroom,
and it will, doubtless, therefore, sur
prise many persons to learn that in
several states the law has a hand in
the matter. In the Old Dominion, for
instance, there is statute which pro-
vides that the person solemnizing
marriage is entitled to fee of one
dollar, and that "any person eXacting
a greater fee shall forfeit to the party
aggrieved $50" In West Virginia it is
stipulated that the fee be sat least
one dollar" and the Idaho law says
that "the fee shall be five dollars, or
any other or greater sum voluntarily
given by the parties to such marriage
In 16 states of the union welded
couple may obtain more or less elab-
crate certificate of their marriage

RHEUMATISM AND THE EYES.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 1Sth.-NTr r. A.
Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer
of this city, whose opinion on legal
matters is unquestioned has recently
made public his unqualifftS 3pinion on
matter of medicine. Mr.. Wade says
that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble
affect the eyesight, aud further, that
there is no case of the kind that can
not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Hehas no fear of being setright by any
of his medical friends, for both state
ments have a living and indisputable
proof in the person of the great law
yer himself, who, as a result of Rheu-
matism and Kidney Trouble, from
which he suffered for years, became
totally blind.
Physicians, the best in the country,
pronounced his case incurable and
hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured
him, restored his sight, drove away
the Kidney Trouble and with il the
Rheumatism and made an allround
well man of him.

DIR. DoTY HAS A MOSQUITO BANE
Thinks He Can Banish Them From
 Staten Island.

New York. July 3l.-If he ,an secure the cooperation of the residents and
 property owners on Staten Island, Dr. Alvah H Doty, the health officer of
 the port of New York, will attempt to rid Staten Island of tha mosquito
 plague. Dr Doty has already begun
 work to rid a section of the island of
 mosquitoes. He has laid out a section about three miles long by mile and
 half wide bounded by the upper and lower hays. Vanderbilt avenue, Rich mond road and New Dorp lane. In this territory there is a large extent of salt water marsh and many fir sh water pockets. Men are now at work making
 a map of the territory which wil in- clude the maI shes, all stagnant pools, Cisterns and CesspOols It is then pro posed to employ crude petroleum and Dr. n.ty is having ma hines made with perforated pipes fr3Id which the oil can b. released under the water and kill all germs in it. It is h is opin- ion that the use of petroleum has not been entirc'y successful heretofur for the reason that it has been sprayed on | ,he SUI, fac of the staEnant pools and Is blown off OF to one sidn by the frs. bre ze.
 "Of course the ultimate treatment ! says Dr Doty twill be drainage and | the clearing away of rank growths and underbrush It is in this direction that | the r. sidents of the district to be 1 treated can giv- us great aid The l territory where he will begin his work | includes nearly all of the marsh land | on what is known as the east and south shores of Staten Island. and if success l fu! will rid tn most desirable resi- | d ntial district on the island of the pest as we'll as Midland and south | beaches.

It is estimated that saving in cost of fuel of about 5o Der cent will result m a general use of oil. An i'm portan: it m If saving is the fact that there is no waste.
