Not for $1,000 q Night.

The value of William Marconi, the
inventor of wireless telegraphy, as
great public attraction has not escaped
the manager of a lecture bureau. The
inventor has received an offer of $1,000
a lecture for twelve to be delivered by
him in the United States. In declining
the offer Mr.. Marconi said that his
hopes and ambitions soar beyond lee
turing at even $1,000 night. He Is
at present neglecting short-dlstance
wireless telegraphy, in which money
can be made Immediately, for the pur=
pose of developing transatlantic work,
and he says he has no time. to put into
any more talking than is absolutely
necessary at present.

thing like unruly SchOOlboyS-Wlll be
remembered, but 1t is seldom indeed
that the Colorado statesman forgets
senatorial dignity. Since 1876, with
the exception of the three years 1882 to
1885 when he held the portfolio of
secretary of the interior in the cabinet
Of President Arthur, and few years
thereafter, Senator Teller has repre-
sented the state of Colorado in the up
per house. His present term expires
in 1903.
Quiet and reserved in manner,
though genial enough among his asso-
ciates, the senator is popular with
those whom he comes in contact with
on official business, and age has in no
way impaired his exceptional ability.
He is 70 years old. In politics Senator
Teller is an Independent Silver Repuh-
lican.
THE ladies of the cabinet" as the
wives of President Roosevelt's advis-
ers are called in Washington, have re-
sumed their weekly receptions. Dur
ing the Mckinley administration the
ladies OF the cabinet held caucus
and agreed to discontinue these fea-
lures of the social life at the capital
because the REFRESHMENTS served at a re-
| ception cost about $40. No secret was
made Of the reason for stopping the
| receptions and the cabinet women
| came in for great deal OF criticism
! They were called stingy and inhospi-
| table by the wives OF rich congressman
! and senator's who were in the habit OF
| giving dinners at which the favors fol
each guest cost more than did the re
! freshments for so-called cabinet re-
ception. The cabinet women refused
to give in, however, and no receptions
were held until this winter. The wives
Of the congressman have endeavored tt
get revenge by remaining away from
| the rehabilitated functions.

WILL USE ANCIENT MACE.
Curious Scspter to BE Employed In
King Edwards Corona ton,

Curious Scspter to BE Employed in
King Edwards Corona ton,
Since the lord mayor laid claim to
and silver scepter or mace at the cor
onation there has been a great deal of
interest displayed by Londoners to
know the significance of this scepter
and what it is like for it is no exag
geration to say that not one of 100 900
cient relic was still in existence
1t is indeed a curious thing. The
staff is about eighteen inches long and
composed of crystal. cut and channeled
with alternate bands of gold and silver.
The divisions are decorated at inter
pearls. The coronet is composed of
four crosses. and four fleur de lys, dec
GRATED with three rubies and three sap
phires, besides six very large seed
pearls. Other pearls are arranged in
groups.
There is no record Of the period
when this curious relic was made. 1t
is evident that it has been altered from
time to time, but in its present shape
it has been assigned TO the early part
of the fifteenth century. This emblem
of the lord mayors authority has not
been seen at any state function since
the coronation of George ". 1t will
likely, therefore be one of the objects
OF most curious interest next June.

Wisdom OF British War Office.

AS a result Of the criticism aroused
in EnglanL over the mismanagemen
of the Boer war much attention has
been directed to historic mistakes
made by the British war office. The
question was recently being discussed
in n London club smoking room as to
whether the "unmounted men pre-
ferred" dispatch-the one in which the
government assured the colonies that
mounted troops were not needed in
South Africa-had ever been equaled
in English history for folly. One of
those present declared that it had not
only been eQualed but surpassed, and
by the admiralty. In proof of it he
stated that during the war of 1912 with
this country the admiralty sent to
Lake Ontario, where British fleet was
stationed. quantities of water casks,
in the belief that Lake Ontario was a
salt water lake. This is said to be Il
historic fact.

THE AUTHOR OF QUO vAD!s"


the Famous Polish Writer,
Lived in This Country Years Ago.
Not many of the thousands of Am
orleans who read and marveled at
Quo Vadis" know that the man who
wrote this great book was himself for
some time a resident of this country.
In the February number of the Ladies
Meme Journal Clifford Howard brings
out this interesting fact in describing
the beautiful home of Madame Modes
ka in Southern California. Sienkie-
wicz came to America about the
middle of September, 1876. with
party of thirty Polish immigrants, not
such as we usually picture to ourselves
as landing at New York, but ladies
and gentlemen of cultuye, many of
them persons of national reputation
in Poland. They had been imbued
with desire to live in the land of
liberty by Modjeska and her husband,
Count Bozenta. And in due time they
found themselves in the beautiful
Santa Ana Valley. Here they lived
in perfect contentment. but in time
their funds grew low, and one after
another they drifted back to Poland,
Sienkiewicz among them leaving be
hind only the great actress.

A strong sultan could still place in

SURFACE CARS HELP,

AS soon as the tie-up Of the elevated
roads was apparent the Metropolitan at
tempted to NIL the gap by running out
sufficient surface cars to comfortably
carry the patrons OF the IL"
But 1t was late and the crews to han
die the cars could not be found. Con-
s~equently the addition of extra cars to
the usual all-night service of the sur
face roads was imperceptible. Every
car was packed and damned to the
platforms. and although outside the
weather was cold. with sleet and snow
and n raw wind. men hung on wherever
they could.
As the day wore on and the regular
tide OF raw set in locomotives were
brought into requisition. but the opera
ton was slow. and all the stations up
town were damned, even the stalrways
being crowded. Many who could not
board cars and were unable to make
their way downtown In the storm turned
back home. to make another attempt
later.
n ordinary condition OF damned cars
was exaggerated. and those who did get
transportation suffered for Il. but they
had the satisfaction Of making the trip
and getting to their places of business.
