There are three big modern printing
telegraph systems each with It's 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 $50, 900 or 500 on a
single circuit between New York and
Chicago, ami 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 excessively
complicated, and they cost several
thousand dollars per set to construct.
Hence they are only available for SER
vice between large cities where there is
a sufficient volume of telegraph bust
ness to make it worth while employing

Friday City Attorney M. C. James had
a warrant issued for the arrest of the
colored boy who does the janitor work
at George Edwards barber shop. The
boy was washing the windows and
allowed the water to run acsoss the
pavement Mr.. James said he should
not allow the water to get on the walk
in such proportions, whereupon the
boy said he could not help it, that it
was bis duty to wash the windows. In
police court he was fined $50 and
costs, but refused TO pay 1t and was
locked up. Thursday the colored BOY,
through his attorney, G. A. Keith,
issued a writ Of habeas corpus ami
went before Judge Rich, at Lexington.
The court discharged the boy and
ordered that the costs be paid by City

al PARIS.

America, during the last so years, seems
to have been metamorphosed as by the
touch Of a magician's wand, Fifty years
ago, Europe iattered herself that she had
discovered America. To-day she may con-
tinue to aatter herself, but her self-satisfac-
ton is not unmixed with alarm. She is
proud OF her discovery OF America, BUT
SHE is ALARMED AT AMERICAN
DISCOVERIES. Fifty years ago, you were
her customers; to-day you have become her
competitors. You have increased your pro-
duction, both industrial and agricultural, in
a few years, to such a point that our Euro
pean markets are crowded with your
merchandise, harvests, fruits, buffers, tools,

machinery, engines. You have grown so alarmingly quick, during
these last so years, that it seems to me you are not SO very young as
we think.
Your marvellous progress, however, ought to surprise no one;
for we say in France: Good blood cannot lie" and you have the
best blood in Europe. Ignorant people call you Anglo-Saxons, but
you protest; you know well that in your veins flow the blood of the
most energetic and enterprising sons of the Old World. No doubt
you have English blood, but the English themselves admit that the
purest and the best Of their blood is Norman. You have the blood
of Holland. The name of your president, Roosevelt, is Dutch; you
have the blood of Germany, OF Denmark, Sweden, Norway Italy,
but how much more you have the blood of France. With what emo
ton I find everywhere, amongst you, the living trace Of our fathers;
from the south to the north, from New Orleans to ST. Louis; yes
as far north as the state of Maine, which reminds me OF my own
natal province that l represent in the parliament of Paris.
We are the same family So, we may look at your progresses
perhaps alarm Europe, BUT NOT FRANCE, guaranteed as we are,
by the inimitable speciality Of our production; there is no real COM
petition between France and the United States, and it is Europe, not
France, that may be threatened by American competition And yet,
this need not be an economic evil; it might become a positive good,
for your progress will obige European nations to abandon their old
fashioned ideas, their red tape, their sterile antagonisms, in order to
keep to the level of your economical development or to find them
selves distanced in the race; and thus the fear Of American competi
ton may be the beginning Of European wisdom. You will have
rendered an inestimable service to humanity if that so-caled
AMERICAN PERIL" may be transformed into the "AMERICAN
CURE" You will not confne yourself to selling your goods to
Europe; YOU WILL GIVE US YOUR EXAMPLES, THE EX-
AMPLE OF YOUR ENERGY AND OF OUR WISDOM.

First Get the Surplus
BY HECTOR c. LEXINGTON.

has made a fortune by speculation (isk) and kept it."
Bacon has truly said: "He that resteth upon gains certain, shall
hardly grow to great riches; and he that puts all upon adventures,
doth ohentimes break and come to poverty; it is good, therefore, to
guard adventures with certantes that may uphold losses"
In times of prosperity, such as these, men are apt to try to make
quick gains through investments of various kinds. This may, on the
whole, be said to be right within certain limitations. One of the
limitations is that it should be a surplus that is risked. We were
lately interested in a booklet published by a firm of New York
brokers. The first principle of investment laid down was the neces-
shy Of profitable trade or profession to work upon. Point number
two was the investing of spare profits in charging the business
whence they came. This logically led up to what we may legiimatey
call a surplus. This surplus is the only part Of mans wealth which
he can afford to put upon what Bacon has termed adventures"
The great danger Of a certain class of Americans (mosty but
not entirely confined to young men) is the reversal Of this process.
They indeed have a trade or profession, but before there is money
enough in the bank to their credit to balance personal obligations,
they have further indebted themselves and rsked the indebtedness
upon the possibility Of future gain. This is morally wrong; IT IS
ALSO BUSINESS FOLLY. The natural and right order is FIRST,
INDUSTRY; SECOND, SAVING; THIRD AND LAST, IN

Knapp informed the correspondent
that nuggets of pure gold the size OF
a hens egg were taken out and that
there were many of these pieces OF
gold of various sizes. The whole face
of the drift, apart from the nuggets
tie ore iteself-was estimated to go
$400 or $500 to the ton. 1t is said that
over 100000 was taken out in few
hours the first day of the strike. The

POINTS ON BINDING TWiNE,
The Farmer Should Know How Msnv Feet
he Gets for Dollar.

That the farmer is often taken adj
vantage of in the way of misrepresenta.
ton by the store keepers is an un.
doubted fact, and one instance that has
come to our attention in the last year
or two, that has been very profitable to
some of the dealers, is in the misrepre
sentation in regard to Binding Irvine.
vi late years there has been intro
duced into this market a grade called
Standard Manila, which is colored
sisal to represent Manila. 1t is the
Standard Irvine of the Eastern manufac.
turers, where Sisal Irvine is more large
ly used than Manila, because it is more
easily obtainable, and their object in
colorlng it is, of course, to deceive.
Dealers handling this Irvine represent
that it is Manila Irvine. Manila Irvine
is never made less than 500 feet to the
pound, whereas Sisal Irvine is never
made over 500 feet to the pound, which
Is 70 per cent less, and consequently
should be 20 per cent less in nrice
The 6OO-foot Manila Irvine sells in the
Eastern market for not less than two
cents more per pound than the Sisal
and consequently the dealers that can
sell this colored Sisal for Manila Irvine
are making this additional profit. The
colored Sisal, called Standard, does not
contain any more feet per pound than
White sisal, so that, if White sisal
lwine goes 500 feet to the pound, then
the Manila 60O-toot Irvine, being 20
per cent longer should be that much
more in price, and Pure Manila $50.
loot Irvine, being 80 per cent more to
the pound than the sisal, should be 80
per cent more in price. Consequently
the lowest priced Irvine is not neces-
sarily the cheapest. The milk in the
eocoanut is, how many feet do YOU get
for dollar?

Considerable activity is looked for
in the Curlew district. On the west
side of Kettle river, between this point

gagged in development work and one
important strike has been made on the
north end of La Fleur mountain.

satisfactory the CRANKY company will
ultimately abandon the use of steam
power.
The development which has been
progressing throughout the winter on
