One of the novelties is an AUTOMOBILE
ing coat for men and women made of
horseskin, says the New York Even
ing Journal. Sable and long hair furs
are not suitable. for they catch the
dust. The skins of colts. either in
white or brown, have come in great
favor. the white trimmed with dark
or fur. and automobilists do not dis.
dain piebalds. They all require lining.
Helmet shaped headdresses of the

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-19

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Russell T. Bar
ry, wherever he is, will have to find a
new cure for any disposition he may
have to commit suicide A marriage
which was performed to soothe his
agitated mind some months ago has
been annulled and now he is left in the
same sad state Of loneliness that per-
turbed him before.
Mr.. Barry was formally "segregat-
ed' when a decree was entered in
Judge TuthilPs court 1t was gen
orally admitted that the marriage had
been IAN unfortunate affair" and both
Mrs. Barry and relatives of her hus-
band let it go at that. Judge Tuthill
acquiesced.
The plaintiff in the case was Mrs.
Louise Barry, who until she undertook
to cure Mr.. Barry Of case of acute
dependency was Miss Louise Pelham,
daughter Of Laura Dainty Pelham.
In her suit for divorce filed a month
ago, Mrs. Barry set forth that she
was married under duress, and yester-
day she described the duress.
After explaining that she had known
RUSS" for years and that they had
been engaged for some time, Mrs. Bar
ry detailed the unfortunate affair as
follows:
"On the Monday preceding the we'd
ding / met Russ on the street. We
parted after bein gtogether a few
hours, and 1 did not hear from him
until Tuesday, when he called me up
by telephone and wanted me to meet

mirror, which was less than fourtee
inches in diameter.
Further Tests to Be Made.

Further Tests to Be Made.
Messages were sent on this occasion
between Emperor Williams tower on
the Havel to an island near Potsdam,
and though the mirror was so small
and the light consequently so imperfect
the sounds were distinctly heard at
both places and persons were easily
able to converse with each other. The
distance in this case was fully four
and quarter miles.
The inventor, however, was appar-
emily not entirely satisfied, land ar
rangements are now being made to ex-
pertinent further at an early date.
These experiments will consist in send
ing messages between two stations
which will be about nine miles from
each other, or more than double the
previous distance, and it is probable
that the two places selected will be
Emperor Williams tower ON the Havel
and the Geophysical Institute, in Pots
dam.
Fer these experiments a mirror four
feet in diameter is now being con-
structed at Nurnburg, and it is author
ltatively announced that in order to
secure their success the minister of
war has decided to place $4,000 at the
disposal of Prof. RUNNER.
This prompt action on the part of
the government is generally regarded
as positive proof that the new system
of wireless telephony will soon be in
troduced into the army and navy, one
reason being because they are already
well equipped with searchlights similar
to those which are used in connec-
ton with this system, and another be-
cause the cost Of the new apparatus
is much less than that Of ordinary tel
ephone construction.
The new system is said to possess

ICY CLIFFS HELD THEM
PRISONERS FOR DAYS
Gold Seekers Lost on the Way to
Thunder Observation-Disclosures Es-
cape From Starvation.

OAKLEY, Ohio, Oct 1S-William
Wersel, former village clerk, who has
Just returned from goldseeking tour
in the Northwest, says he was lost for
four days in the mountains Of Mon
tana, withga party of five other pros
pectors, and had a narrow escape from
starvation.
They were travelling from Butte,
Mont, with pack horses to Thunder
mountain, when they lost the trail in
the snow and ice. Two Of their horses
had slipped to destruction over noun
tain precipices, and the travellers sud-
denly found themselves in a pocket,
surrounded by impossible hillsides.
They could not go forward, and when
they tried. to retrace their steps they
were unable to find the way by which
they had entered. Their food gave
out, and they thought they would
have to kill the remaining horses and
eat them, when Wersel discovered an
apparently deserted cabin.
Searching around the cabin, he dis
covered the cache in the ground where
the cabin owner had stored provisions,
and on these the party subsisted while
hunting the way out. They failed to
find this, and were beginning to de-
SPAR when the cabin owner returned.
They paid him for the provisions, and
he guided them to the lost entrance.

three great advantages over the one
now in use. One is that by means of 1t
messages can be sent a hundred times
more rapidly than at present; another
is that replies to all messages received
can be sent instantaneously, If de-
sired, and the third is that perfect Sc
crecy is at all times assured.
The one disadvantage Of the system
is that the distance to which messages
can be transmitted is limited. Experts
are confident that the system will
prove effective for distance of 125 or,
possibly, for $50 or 175 miles, but they
say that under present conditions that
is Us much as can be expected. At the
same time, they maintain that this
cannot prove serious detriment to the
success of the system, since the cost OF
a wireless telephone is so small that
the instruments are bound to come into
use everywhere.
Those who witnessed the recent ex-
periments on the Wannsee agree in
saying that they will not forget them
as long as they live. And no wonder,
for never before was such an exhibit
ton given. There, beside the dark
water and within hailing distance Of
half a dozen vessels, flashed brilliant
light, dazzling electric eye, and now
and then the radiant beam from this
light actually spoke.
Wireless telephony is a natural CO.
rollary to wireless telegraphy. The
same great laws of nature are at the
| basis of both human inventions. But
wireless biography is now a fact, ac-
copied by scientists and by the public.
Wireless telephony, on the other hand,
! is still in the air. Scientists are in
| terested in it's possibility as established
| in England and Germany. The many
| headed public has never a head to sur
| render on the subject.

DR.. Hans Goldschmidt, Of Essen, is
the inventor of this new process which
primarily means the utilizing of enor-
nous heat-up to $500 degrees Fab
renheit- in the arts. The 1nvestiga-
ton which led to the perfecting of the
process was instigated by Herr Krupp,
who desired to procure carbon free
chromium.
In discussing the discovery clarence
3. Schultz said:
ITO sum up briefly the value Of our
discovery 1t involves: 1st, the produc-
ton of carbon-free, practically pure
chromium, manganese, ferrot1tan1um
and other metals, putting into the
hands of steel and brass manufacture
ers purer and better metals than they
have ever had before. End, the weld
ing of street car rails, shafts, tubes and
other profifes of weldable material. 3rd,
the mending and repairing of valuable
iron and steel castings. 4th, the i'm
proving of iron and steel castings of
complicated designs in general. 9Th,
the softening of hardened steel plates
for the armor Of ships and for safety
deposit vaults on a limited area, to
permit the drilling of bolt holes for the
bolts, which latter operation does not
occupy more than few minutes, and

Manufacturers Find II Handy.
"Of course added Mr.. Schultz, new
applications of the process are being
constantly made by manufacturers,
VINO find 1t so much handler than the
old method in a hundred ways"
Tie street car rail business Of Eu-
rope Is being revolutionized by it,
about dozen large cities having COM
menced applying it to their tracks.
Thesa include Berlin, Hamburg, Es-

Many years ago it was known that
metal chlorides and, in a less degree,
metallic oxides when mixed with pow
dered aluminium under certain tenn
persture conditions set up a vigorous
chemical action. But it was difficult to
start the reaction. AS the mixture was
placed in crucib1e which was put in
a suitable furnace any regulation of
the reaction was impossible because Of
it's sudden and vigorous nature.
Dr. Goldschmidt devoted years to
the solution Of this problem.

there I found him greatly excited.
'"Then Russ said that unless I mar
ried him right away he would COM
nit suicide by jumping in the lake or
would do something desperate I tried
to quiet him, but he would not listen
to reason and kept on insisting on an
immediate marriage.
'.Finally, seeing no other way to
prevent him from carrying out his
treats, l consented to go before JUS
tfce Everett and be married.
. Mrs. Barry asserted that as both she
and Mr.. Barry were Catholics she did
not think the ceremony before a JUS
tice was exactly binding.
AT any rate" she said, neither he
nor I had any idea Of getting really
married, but he simply wanted me to
go through the ceremony, SO that I
could not be taken from him. Some
other time we are going to be mar
ried by a priest"
Mrs. Barry said that she remained
in the company of her husband about
half an hour after the wedding, when
he put her on a car for the west side.
She went at once to the residence of
Mrs. Elsie Shepard, at 1888 Washte-
nav avenue. She declared that she
has not seen her husband since that
day, as he left Chicago on a boat on
the following day.

MISDEEDS OF SONS
DROVE HER INSANE
All Three, Brought Up Well, Turn Out
to Be Criminals, and Are Free
quentIy Locked Up.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Oct. 1s.-A sad
case was disposed Of in the probate
court by Judge White, when Mrs.
Sarah Baldwin, Of this city, was or
dered admitted to the Michigan asylum.
The woman has refused food and has
been subject to strange Authorizations.
Mrs. Baldwin has for years been a.
hard working woman. and has done
everything in her power to bring her
children up In the right way But she
has failed, and 1t this that drove her
to insanity.
Her husband, Simon Baldwin, COM
mitted suicide here two years ago. Her
three sons have all turned out to be
criminals, and have repeatedly been
locked up in the county jail for minor
offenses, and at least two of them have
served in the Ionia reformatory and
Detroit house Of correction. The sons
have made their mother work and sup
port them. In addition to the disgrace
Of the three sons, her daughter mar
ried a man who afterward proved to
be criminal. One Of her sons return
ed only this week from serving pris-
on sentence.
There is much sympathy here for
the unfortunate woman, who was liter
ally driven insane by the evil deeds
of her family.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-10-19

To the average person the life OF a
business man and those of professional
training appeals as one mad race ior
fame and the elusive dollar. In a way
this mental picture is correct, but 1T
hardly does justice to the average
business and professional man In st.
Paul. The truth of the old adage that
"all work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy is not lost upon them ana
one sees It in the pleasures that the
majority of them eject into the daily
routine of their lives. The dollar and
Madame Fame may perhaps have first
place in their ambitions, but there are
times and with some set period when
the two are subordinated to a realiza-
ton Of life's joys.
That this life is not all dollars and
cents perhaps receives no better ex-
emplification than in the daily exist
