Successful Printing Telegraphs.


There are three big modern printing
telegraph systems each with its special
field of usefulness. The saving that
they are destined to effect in telegraph
wires is enormous They do more than
double, and in some cases more than
treble, as much work as the quadruplex
over the same wire. In other words,
they make one wire do as much as
two or three are now doing They will
therefore save 100000 or $4,000 on
single circuit between New York and
Chicago, and similarly, in proportion
to the distance, between other large
centres of population. Whether they
will save much labor seems to be
doubtful, but the work required will
be much less skillful and not nearly so
exhausting. They are all excessively
complicated, and they cost several
thousand dollars per set to construct.
Hence they are only available for SER
vice between large cities where thore
is sufficient volume of telegraph bust

Westminster Abbsg Arranged For the Coronation.

Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of War,
Judge Endicott fell in love at first
sight, and, Notwithstanding his fifty
two years, induced her to become his
third wife. Mr.. Chamberlain never
takes exercise, wherein Englishmqn
cannot understand him. His fad is
orchids. At Moor Green, his palatial
home in Birmingham, he cultivates the
monOcotyledones on a large scale. Two
things he is never without-his mon
ocle, and a rare bloom in his button
hole. Chamberlain is the ablest states
man in England, and the most fearless,
because he is honest.-New York Press

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Young Man of the East End Was
Roughly Handled.
Youn:

houSuly I1duuitu.
A bold hold-up and robbery took
place in the eastern section of the city
last night about IL o'clock. James
Egan, a young man who lives on Noo-
little alley, was held up by two lren
and after being roughly handled and
somewhat battered and bruised, he
was robbed OF $25. Egan was return
ing home by way OF the Meriden rail-
road tracks and was walking by
Woods coal and wood yard, which is
situated near the Dublin street sta
ton, when two men, who evidently
knew that he went home that way and
were in waiting for him, rushed out
and seized him. Egan made an effort
to get away, but his assailants had
too firm grasp upon him. They then
searched him and succeeded in getting
$25. After being let go Egan went
in search lof Policeman Lawlor and
with him returned to the scene Of the
robbery, but the robbers had flown
and diligent search refused to reveal
their whereabouts. There is no doubt
that the robbers are persons who know
Egan fairly WELL

Quay and Penrose held q long confer

Reading company In this city at which
the anthracite coal miners strike was

issued a lengthy reply to the two sen-
ators. Among other things he said:
Il recognize that it is your right and
duty as senator's representing the great
state of Pennsylvania to do whatever
can legitimately be done to end strike
that so seriously affects business and
brings SO much suffering to the women
and children Of the coal regions. The
newspapers story that said, THE
strike was private affair which did
not concern the public Is a reckless
fabrication

4 Owing to the absence OF quorum
at the meeting OF the board or public
health yesterday afternoon the only
business transacted was the approval
OF the monthly payrolls. President
Lawlor and Commissioner Pagan were
the only members present. 1t is two
or three months, nearly, since quo
rum was present at a meeting Of the
health board. DIR o. w S. Frost has
absented himself from all the meetings
since the one when the members OF
the board failed to approve his bill for
services in the smallpox epidemic.
Commissioner Ford has been working
in Wilmington, Delaware, for the past
two or three months and has not at
tended any meeting of the board in,
that time and probably he will not at
tend any more. DR. Kilmartin is out
of town and therefore could not be
present at the meeting yesterday 1t

DAWSON, Dec. 15.-Keen excitement and
apprehension prevail at White Horse and

OF Hiuako Indians has taken the warpath
between the Little Salmon and Petty rivers,
A store Ia reported to have been looted and
burned, the proprietor killed and another
man fatally injured.
The Little Salmon Indians are said to
be panic-strick at the outbreak and are
sending their squaws and children to the
police detachment at Tanalus, near the
Yukon crossing. for protection.
Major Cutbbert has been fully appraised
OF the report by wire and has issued an
order mobilizing the men in his command,
and In case the new OF the outbreak is
confirmed will leave for Selkirk immedi-
ately with fifty men.
1t lie stated that 100 to 200 Indians are
In the hostile parties, headed by two we'll
known chiefs. At last accounts they were
holding a war dance and had worked them
selves into a murderous frenzy.
Trouble with the Indians in this region
has been expected for a long time, because
three of their number were hanged in 1899
for the murder OF a prospector on the Little
Salmon.
While Major Cuthbert is rather reticent
as regards details, 1t is known that the
first news Of the reported uprising and
murder reached here yesterday NOR nins

SIS cents a night.
Judge Gray appeared indignant. He asked
where her father worked, and she told him
in the mines. and then he added:
II would like to see the fathers of these
girls. 1t may be a necessity to send them
to the mills, but l don't think a father has
a right to coin the flesh and blood OF his
children into money. It's an outrage. l
would like to see what instincts he has"
His honor seemed quite angry as he
spoke, but, though they remained silent,
the other commissioners apparently shared
his views.
Mr.. barrow said IL was not altogether
the fault OF the parents, as the employers
were to blame for not paying enough
wages to permit a man to keep his chill
dren in school.
Judge Gray replied: That may be, but
there are miners who receive enough pay
to enable them to keep their children out
Of the workhouse."
A small Slovenian girl, aged ~, who also
worked twelve hours each night, received
3 cents an hour.
She was asked whether her father owned
the house she lived in. and she replied: .
yes"
Judge Gray, who was standing up and
leaning over to get the girls answer,
Strengthened up at this, and as he walked
to his seat. remarked: We'll, I'd like to
see her father"
Another 1S-year-old girl said she worked
all night in the silk mill at Dunmore for. SIS
cents a night. .-'
Judge ~Gray-Does your father own his
house?
Yes, sir; he's my stepfather."
He is your stepfatheI l thought So"
Judge Gray inquired as to the law in
Pennsylvania regarding child labor at
night. One statute was found which par
TALLY covered the case, and th> chairman
remarked that 1t seemed the statutes Of
Pennsylvania did not bother anyone.
Mr.. barrow remarked that the laws could
not enforce themselves.

WILL PUSH SPANISH TREATY
Senate Hopes TO Dispose of New
Document Before Christ-
mas. 81

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-If opportunity
offers there will be an effort to secure the
ratification Of the new treaty with Spain
before the adjournment Of congress for
Christmas. No opposition has developed,
but the document and the accompanying
papers fill considerable space, requiring
time to read and investigate. The treaty
was signed at Madrid on July 3 and con-
tains thirty-one articles, comprising the
usual demands OF a treaty meant to insure
amicable relations between nations.
in addition there is an informal agree
ment confirming the new relationship be-
tween the two countries created by the
war with Spain, and declaring the Paris
peace treaty to be still in effect.
