The court, therefore, in deciding the
case, knowing that whoever the case
is against will have to pay a very
large billof costs which in itself will
be somewhat of a burden for the los
ing party, takes that into considera-
tion in fixing the mstter OF damages.
Ii might be said, that one man, under
the same circumstances that the plaint-
lift was placed In at Blackduck, might
be entitled tt, more damages than an
other man; that q person might be a
refined, intellectual man having pride,
and a person might be a coarse, uned-
ucated or brutal man with no refine
ment and no pride. OF course, In such
case, the injury to one's feelings
would be more than the injury TO the
other's: and were the defendant q man
of means, that is to say a man OF
wealth, the court would assess larger
damages, but in view OF all the facts
and circumstances OF this case, ......
1t is hereby adjudged and deter
mined that the plaintiff, recover and

Professor r. A. Fessenden of tn

ventor Of the new system of wireless
telegraphy, has described the working
Of his instrument as follows, says a dis
patch from Elizabeth City, N. c., to the
New York Journal: The essential diff
ference between my system and Mar
confs is difficult to describe, because in
no point are the two alike. Marconi
uses an air transformer at the sending
end and concentric cylinders, and his
capacity is arranged in certain way.
use neither Of the above, and my ca
pacity is arranged in an entirely differ
ent manner. At the receiving end Mar
conf uses an imperfect contact-that is,
coherer.
1 use no imperfect contact, every con-
ductor used in my receiving apparatus
being of solid metal, and there is no
principle similar to that Of the coherer
involved, the principle depending en-
t1rely upon different physical law. Nat
urally, therefore, all the details of the
receiving apparatus are entirely dis
t1nct. 1t should be noted that, although
I use telephone receiver, this is not
essential, as a siphon recorder can be
used, and the former is used merely be-
cause tits the universal history Of teleg-
raphy that each new system starts
with a recording receiver and ends up
with one read by sound, and It seemed
best to omit this section Of the devel-
Opment at once.
The work is by no means finished.
We have paid particular attention to "
selective methods and multiplied sys-
TENS. We have four or five methods, i,
all of which have been successfully
tested in practice, and do not antic1-
pate further trouble in this line. AS
regards wireless telephone work, we
have not pursued the subject further,
but from our recent work it can be
stated definitely that telephoning up to
at least 200 miles is absolutely certain
Of accomplishment. ~
This is a great advantage for wire
less work, as in many cases the cap
tains Of vessels will not wish to employ
a trained telegraph operator, and al
system of wireless telephone working
even fifty miles will be of great use.

the work until we have finished our
work on the wireless, but we can. def

MONEY OF IMMIGRANTS
What the Hordes From Europe
Are Bringing In.
AVERAGE OF EACH ONE rs SMALL

The French Headed the List Last
Yenr-Figures of March 60 Marked
J Difference Between Northern and
Southern Italians Considerable
Total In q Year.
A pleasant faced little man with mild
blue eyes that looked forth trustingly
at the strange sights Of the new world
stood in front of the money changers
booth in the big immigration building
on Ellis island, says the New York
Evening Post. His wife, a typical Ger
man woman, and three children form
| ed patient waiting group behind him.
The man wore a suit of "copperas
jeans" stained and worn, top boots
and the high peaked cap Of the German
peasant. He was fumbling through the
pockets and in the hidden recesses of
his garments and producing money.
Thalers, marks, imperial treasury notes
and goldpieces fell from his dirty fin
gers until tidy little heap was lying
on the counter.
Some Of the immigration officers
standing near looked on in amazement.
The little German had seemed PECULIAR
~ unproductive soil for such a harvest.
When he had done with his searching
the immigrant had something over $500
to be. converted into United States
treasury notes. He grinned cheerfully
when the neat pile Of crisp green bills
was handed to him and, opening his
shirt, slowed the roll where he could
feel it next his body. He was an excep-
tionally wealthy immigrant. 1t is rarely
that such comparatively large sum
is shown by any of the Europeans who
become citizens via Ellis island and the
barge Office.
One Of the last things asked the new
ly arrived at Ellis island just before
their departure lis whether they have
any: money to be changed. They are
not compelled to change it, and many |
refuse for fear of being cheated Thou
sands Of others avail themselves Of the
money changers services. His booth is
at the end Of the long examination
room and at the head Of the triple |
fight Of stairs leading down to the
exit Of the building to the, boat landing.
All day long it is scene of rushing &C.
tiyity. ~. -. ~ .4.,..:t -"
When the immigrants are examined,
they are asked to show what money
they have. Some Of them are crafty
and do not show all they have. Others
are more trusting and willingly display
their petty hoardings. The money is
counted, record taken and
restored to them.
Morris tribune., 1902-05-03

The difference between the Italians
from the northern and those from the
southern section Of the peninsula as
shown in the amount Of money they
bring into the country is marked. The
northern Italians are said to make a
superior class Of citizens. Possibly the
most surprising fact shown in the table
is the high position taken by the Bohe-
mians and Moravians.
In the month Of March 57,175 imm1-
grants were landed at Ellis island.
They had, or at least they showed to
the examiners, sums that footed up.

had less than $50 each in their posses
sion, and 4,429 had that sum or over.

This explains whyitis that some people

Not every one, however, falls victim
