the docket when court opened and
abount twenty were Jail cases.

jurors

Wear Swell Costumes.

Pretty costumes worn on the stage rarely fall to please the audience, and those worn by Boyce and Wilson this week at the Auditorium have not proven an exception to the rule The team have good act and they help 1t along with swell clothes. They have two coats made of solid gold wire which was imported from Liverpool where 1t ts spun on spe- cial machinery. It Is the kind of gold effect cloth worn by women as belts. The coats cost $254 without the import duty and the cost of making them.
 The two red coats worn by the pair are hardly less expensive They were im- ported from London and cost $20O. These suits show their real worth less than any of the other cloths, but a close examin- ation of them off the stage will convince any one of their value.
 Probably the prettiest and most ex- pensve piece of clothing in the entire wardrobe is the purple and silver coat worn by Mr. Wilson in the latter part of the act. It is the only coat of the kind in America, and was obtained under rather peculiar circumstances. It is a royal purple with a solid silver back ground. The silver is worked into the cloth so as to represent flowers and fig ures and always gains applause. The coat can be reversed and presents solid s1 yer surface.
 There are only eleven yards of the cloth in America. It was sent to this country to the Pan American Exposition from France and represents the best work of that country Mir Wilson saw tho cloth one day and tried to purchase it. Per mission had to be obtained from France and before he could get it, he was forced to pay the duty. The cloth cost s2O a yard the import was $35 and the cost of making S50 making the entire cost $305 MT Boyce wears a pink coat which alone cost S110.

MARCONI READY
 FOR BUSINESS Says There is Nothing tOPreVGnt Commercial Communication HIS COMPANY HOLDS MEETING After Perfectine Arrangements In Canada He Will Challenge Sir
 Wm. Preece and Prof Lodge
 to Intercept Messages.
HIS COMPANY HOLDS MEETING

London February 20-At a general meeting of the MarconI Wireless Tele- graph Company today, MT. Marconi, re- ferring to the transatlantic experiments, announced that the next series of tests would include the transmission of words and messages. He added that there was nothing to prevent the company from un- dertaking commercial communication with ships at sea. The system at present was in permanent use on board seventy ships. and there were 25O land stations. The de- fects with reference to secrecy has been removed. After perfecting arrangements in Canada he will challenge Sir William Preece and Professor Lodge to intercept or interrupt messages.
 Mir Marconi complained that obstruc- tions were thrown in his way on this side of the Atlantic in marked contrast with the generous encouragement which he had received from the governments and press of the United States and Cam ada.
 MT Marconi said that on the recent ar- rival of an American liner upwards of 5000 words were received within sixteen
 
 of words daily across the Atlantic would represent an annual income of eS3,000 for each pair of stations. The company, in the first instance. was proceeding to install two pairs of stations.
 Germany to Have Stations.
 Berlin. February 20.-The navy depart ment has decided to establish a chain of wireless telegraph stations along the en- tire German coast. For the last few days trials have been conducted at Kiel to determine whether the department shall use the Braun system or the Slaby- Arco system. Thirty-two German war ships have already been equipped with the Slaby-Arco system of wireless telegraphy, while eight more are to have this sys- tenn installed. Official reports say that the Slaby-Arco system gives the most sat isfactory results as by this system wire less messages are transmitted a distance of 125 miles as against 90 miles by the Marconi system.
