TELECRAMS BY
TYPEWRITER.
Nav System Given a Success
fuI Test at Omaha.
MORSE ALPHABET NOT USED.
Sending Apparatus Like The Keyboard Of q
typewriter, While tho Receiver Is Like
The Carriage and PIatsa.

Omaha Jan. 30.-An event of great
importance TO the scientific world was
an exhaustive and successful test, just
made. at the Western Union Telegraph
Office here OF the Pearne printing tele-
graph. an apparatus which. it's inventors
declare, is destined to revolutionize all
existing methods OF Transmission OF in-
telligence.
The apparatus consists Of a sender and
a receiver. operated by electricity. The
first is not unlike the keyboard OF
typewriter, and the latter resembles the
carriage and platen.
An operator manipulates the keyboard
and the message is transmitted over
wire any desired distance and is auto
msticany printed on roll OF paper by
the receiver.
Electrical experience IL unnecessary for
the operator and there is no telegraph
alphabet to learn. Any one who can
operate "A typewriter Is capable OF send
ing a message.
The receiving is automatic the only at
tention required being that the rolls OF
paper are supplied when needed and the
receiver kept I'm working order. The cost
OF manufacture Will PROBABLY not exceed

The invention was patented oct. D. 1900

countries.
kach letter IL made by a certain mo
tion OF one OF the nine fingers. each finger
being susceptible To four motions from
as many grades OF currents. supplied BY
storage batteries at either end OF the
line Thus thirty-six separate motions
are obtained one for each letter OF the
alphabet. eight for the figures not al

This Is according to the model machine
built for Mr. Pesrne under his direction
at the Smith-Premier typewriter factory,
at Syracuse. 10 which place he went sew

different key-boards, will be constructed.

The test was satisfactory. a eurrent
Of tweuty-fnur volts was used At hrst
but was increased TO eighty-hve volts
when messages were sent at fun speed
The signlncgnce Of this lies IN the fact
that the telegraph company uses no volts
thus showing that the new apparatus
can be operated with less than half the

LEGAL HARPI@.

The Houston Post of Aug. ,, in
discussing the address OF President
Spoonts of the Texas Bar associa-
ton, reiative To the new Barratry
law, quotes the gentleman as fol
lows:
"Lawyers seek clients instead Of
clients seeking lawyers The broker
who buys and sells law Suits is be-
coming an established institution,
and there are law firms IN the
State who maintain regularly or
ganized detective bureaus, whose
business is to instigate, excite and
purchase litigation. That such ac-
ton is not Endorsed by the profes
sion is admitted, but there are few
lawyers in regular practice who
have not come in contact with the
methods of these legal harpies.
Under our theory of government,
courts are established TO protect
and enforce the rights of the pea
pie, but these professional YAM
pires continually use them to an
nOy, harass and bIackmail a large
portion of the business interests of
the State. Claims without merit or
responsibility in the hands of un-
scrupulous lawyers mean financial
destruction to many worthy men.
Litigation, at best, is an evil and
should only be resOrted to when
the interested parties can not ad just
their rights outside of the court
room, and | can conceive of no
more dangerous enemy to society
than the lawyer who makes it his
business to Interfere with the full
freedom Of settlement aud who
uses the court in his own, and not
his clients interest. 1t remains to
be seen whether this new law will
eradicate or lesson this evil, bnt
all honorable lawyers will welcome
it as move in the right direc-
ton.

A PHEN OMENAL GROWTH.

Shipments Of money from the
national treasury TO the South and
West to aid in moving this year $
crops are reported as very much
heavier than ever before. At the
close of the past month of August,
the total sum transferred to the
sub-treasuries at Chicago, New Or
leans and St. Louis was 81, $50, 900,
of which New Orleans has received
s., 525, 900. At the close of the
same month last year, the total
sum transferred to these three
points was So, 100000, while the
needs Of these same places in 1899
required only 81. lis, 800, which
was the total amount transferred
to the three sub-treaSurieS named
bv the close of August. IN that
year. Thus for the year just clos
ed New Orleans alone required a
MUCH greater sum than: Chicago,
st. Louis and New Orleans COM
bined received two years ago.
There figures are from official re-
ports sent out from Washington.
The enormous increase in single
year, comparing the sum transfer
red to these points up to the close
of last August with that transfer
red up the close of the same month
in 1890, is phenomenal. 1t shows
a truly marvellous growth in the
industrial interests of the South
and West, and is most encOurag
ing to those whose lot is linked
with these sections.
