WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY AGAIN
Another System Discovered That
 Works Perfectly

New York Feb 22.-Cf the exner- ments in wireless telegraphy recent ly conducted off Brownhead. Ireland on board the steamship Georgic one of the eXperimenters, Alexander w Sharman, who has arrived here. said i:
 The system adopted is that invent ed by Colonel Henry Montague Hozier. secretary of Lloyds, and Nevil Maske, Tyne, of London, well known astron- omer and electrician. Tine apparatus used in this system Is aIcogether diff ferent from that employed by the Marconi syndicate.
 Our apparatus is simple in con- struction and easy to manipulate so that the ordinary marine signal man is able to use 1t after d days instruc- ton. The steam was ten miles from Browhead and signals were exchanged as the Georgic continued on her resu- lar course at usual speed, until she was twenty-five miles from Browhead, when the tests were discontinued. The messages were easily read"
 Mir Sharman said the greatest ad- vantage of his system is that it works equally we'll in all kinds of weather.
 MT. Sharrnan will return on the Georgic and the experiments will be resumed as the steamer approaches the Irish coast.

 This is Washington's birthday and the occasion is marked in Waterbury < by the closing of the offices of the town and city governments, the sus-s pension of business at the difrerent panklhg houses, a day off for the school teachers and their pupils and a few hours relaxation for the employees of the postoftice department and the Bronson library.

A snoOsAs sehsmsr is RsAping Harvest in
/ the PalOuss Country.
Two gentlemen. strangers to Us, C.
F. Merry, of Chicago, aud F. L. Daggptt
OF Spokane, tarried in Genesee day OF
two in the Interest of the Equitable
/ Tax and Freight Association of Amer
lea Their card reads. The PURPOSE
for which this association is formed Is
to assist the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the several railroad com.
miSSioners of the various states in seenr-
ing minimum freight rates, and adjust
claims for our members against trans
portation companies; and in the passing
OF such laws and the enforcement
thereof as will cause each interest, cor.
porate, real estate and personal property,
to pay their just and equal proportion
of the taxes in maintenance of the na-
tional, state and county institutions
Of the different states Of the United
States There, you know as much
about it as the News, as the gentlemen
failed to stop at our shebang as. they
passed by. To join, you are asked 81 20
initiation fee aud IS cents per month
for a year. You are promised lower
freight rates on goo shipped both
ways. A number Of the business men
Joined, and later on tile grain raistIs
will be solicited, the gentlemen claiming
they VIII be able to get reduction ID
wheat rates of three cents per pushel Il
the coast. Hope they will II il is IA
good thing let US all push it, But is 1t
what it is represented to be? We have
seen nothing of this in any of our neigh
boring exchanges"
The above clipping is taken from the
Genesee News. Merry is a smoothe
worker. Instead OF mailing from Chi
cago his home is in Dickinson, North
Dakota, where he has Il very unslyury
reputation. \ few years ago hr orgau-
iZed lhe Odd Fellows FraternaI Building
and Loan association, an institution
that collapsed after members of tie
order in different parts of the country
lad given up their cash. Last winter,
Merry was placed in Jail in Mime
apOlis for some criminal real estate
transactions. He is shrtwd, a 70, d
talker, man of pleasing address
aud makes favorable impression On
strangers. There is no doubt his EauIt-
able Tax and Freight Association of
America is but another OF his smoothe
schemes to earn living without hard
work, and We predict that every victim
he has induced to join his association
will have experience for his money, and
continue to pay freight as the railroads
may dictate. II any person wishes to
know more about Merry, we recommend
them to almost any citizen of Dickinson,
North Dakota. The editor Of the Salu-
bFia News Letter has evidently, at one
time, been victim Of the gentleman, as
We find the following comment i'll the
last issue OF that paper:
"The Genesee News man can probably
gain some valuable information regard
ing one c. F. Merry, of the Equitable
Tax and Freight Association of Amer
iea,' by addressing Maj. Edwards, of
the Forum, Fargo, North Dakota. We
once contributed to a pipe dream engi-
neered by genius sailing under the
same name"
Our advice to the public is to let
Merry and his tax and freight rate
alone.
