RECORD OF COURTS.

Motions were heard by Judge Wilkerson in the first division of the City court yesterday. In the second division de- murrers were argued in the case of Peter Schlischer against William Aiken and others, a chaneery suit, and taken under advisement by Judge Senn.
 Two suits were filed. as follows:
 Will Porter against the Southern Rail- way company, suit for S20,O00 damages, plaintiff alleging while engaged in his duties as fireman the arch pipe of an en- zine burst, and he suffered injuries.
 Jim Bynum against Frank Ford George W. Bacon and George H. Davis, doing business as Ford, Bacon and Davis, and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, suit for $10,000 Plaintiff alleges he was injured while at work as a laborer by an explosion of powder used at slag pile on First avenue and Thirteenth street
 There will be no juries in either divis- lon of the City court this week, as the time will be occupied in the settling Of pleadings by both judges.
 The docket in the unted states court was sounded yesterday, and all civil eases were set for trial
 The civil docket will continue in the Circuit court this week, with jury cases on trial.
 Will Benson has filed a suit in the Cir euit court against the Palos Coal and Coke company. suit for S5ooo, plaintiff al- leging a superintendent of the defendant struck him.
 The spring term of the Criminal court will begin tomorrow. The first week will be devoted to the trial of cases on the non-capital and felony docket. Then for three successive weeks the cases on the capital docket will be tried. , The grand jury will be organized to- morrow. The charge will De delivered by Judge Dan A. Greene, associate judge.

the other end of the wire because the wire is of such a nature that it will con- duct this motion from one point to an- other along it's parts. The only problem therefore in telegraphy of telephony had to do with discovering a means to set up those wave motions at one end of a wire and to receive them at the other.
 Air as Matter.
 In the case of wireless telegraphy it was known that air was matter just the same as an ordinary metal wire is matter. It was known, or at least firmly be- lieved that if certain wave motions were set up electrically at one point in the air that the atoms of which the air Is composed would conduct this motion to another point This left as the only pro- blem the discovery and adjusting of in- struments one of which would set up the motion at one point and the other of which would sympathetically receive those motions at another point
 1t was well-known that light. which Is nothing more than certain kind of wave motion could be, and was, constant ly transmitted by means of air: that the source of the light acted as the sender and the retina of the eye as the receiver. It was wel-known that heat was a form of wave motion, the oscillations of which were much less in number per second than light waves and that the waves were transmitted by the air
 Wave Motions.
 The wave motions producing sound, which are also transmissable through the atmosphere are still less in number per second than either light or heat, and are

NO DISORDER HAS OCCURRED.
The Superior States That Passionists Are Formally Ordered to Leave.

Paris. April 4.-The prefects of police, reporting on the service of notices to the congregations to dlsband, say no disor- der occurred. Two orders to Barnabites and Oblates at Marie Immacule, declined to give a written acknowledgement of the receipts of the notice. The superior of the Passionists of the Anglo-American church here formally stated that the mother house in London had ordered the mem- bers to leave Paris and that they would depart without resistance.
 A representative of the Francais, who visited the headquarters of all the orders here, quotes the Dominicans as saying that they will accept the law. Part of the members of that order have already left France. The other orders refused to disclose their plans, saying they would take the fifteen days allowed them to reach a decision. The Francais asserts that some of the orders anticipate re- ceiving advice from Rome

set up at one point and are received at the other by the drum of the ear.
 The sending of a wireless message can we'll be compared to the transmission and reception of sound.
 The instruments at the sending station consist of an induction coil through which a low pressure current is passed and is changed into a high pressure alternating current This alternating current passes to wires one of which leads to the ground and the other of which is sus- pended in the air. When the current is suf- ficiently strong a spark jumps through a short air gap between these wires and sets up electrical oscillation in the sus- pended wire which Is called the an- tenna.
 These oscillations of the antenna set up a wave motion in the adjoining air which spreads equally in every direction just as when a bell is struck the sound waves move in every direction.
 The electrical waves will be carried longer or shorter distances through the air according to the strength of the cur rent producing the oscillations. The high CT the wire is suspended in the air the further the waves will carry also, just as sound waves from a large bell win carry further than those from small one.
 Power Intensified.
 The power of the electrical waves Is also intensified by increasing the number of antennae so that above a sending sta tion a spectator may see hundreds of vertical wires suspended by means o3 high towers connected by cables.

ladies' reception room, next to the Jef- ferson theatre, which will be fitted out in very handsome style, It will have every convenience for ladies, and IS an entirely new feature in Birmingham.
 The second floor will be of asphalt and will have 152 stalls for horses. The entire third floor will be buggy repository.
 Every stall in the stable will be con neeted with the city sewers, and the ven tilating system will be of the most mod ern design.
 Architect Spink made a special trip to the east to get the latest ideas in liY- cry stable building and his plans are the result of careful investigation, and the object in designing the building has been to produce something unequalled for ar engagement and convenience.

ing station is exactly like that of the sending station. Electrical waves in the air impinge upon the antennae of the re- ceiving station and set them in motion.
 The manner of setting them in motion is not unlike the phenomenon that can be produced with two guitars. By tun- ing one string of each to exactly the same pitch, the striking of either of the strings will also set the other in motion sympatheticaly.
 The Coherer.
 But the atennae of the receiving station are connected with the "coherer." This is little glass tube containing metal filings. When the current that has been set up in the antennae strikes the metal filings and meets the constant auxiliary battery cur rent that is passing through them, it causes the metal filings to draw closer to each other, thus forming a metallic cir cuit The auxiliary current passes through this, setting an adjusted instru- ment in motion which registers the movements by readable dots and dashes."
 This much has been accomplished. Mes sages have been sent through long dis tances by this means. But there is one thing that must be overcome. If the receiving stations are adjusted similarly it is evident that a message sent out from one station will be received by all the others
 Those interested in the subject are now working on what they term "syntonic system" by which a message sent out can be received by one station to the ex- clusion of all others Much progress has already been made in this direction and it Is felt that it will not be long until messages can be sent by the wireless method as secretly as at present over pri- vate wires.
 Mechanical Instruments.
 The scientific feasibility of wireless mes sages having been proved, the rest of the work is largely mechanical. The instru- ments used In both sending and receiving must be adjusted with the finest precision and the more finely they are attuned, the more perfect will be the results att tained

The sending of messages over long dls- tances without the use of wires or ca bles. remarkable as it may seem, is no longer in the realm of expectation, but is an accomplished fact.
 That the means used to accomplish this twentieth century feat have not been perfected is true. But enough has been done to show the entire practieability Of the new system and to cause those in- terested in oceanic cable companies to fear that they will be robbed of great deal of their business In a few years.
 The world is so used to thinking of wire in connection with the flash of in- telligence from one point to another that it is difficult to imagine how this can be done without their use. The principle upon which the sending of a wireless mes sage is based, however, is very sim , pie.
 The Old Method.
 A wire by the old method is nothing more than a means of carrying electric oscillations from one point to another. The wire is simply a form of matter, the atoms composing which, when set in motion in a certain way, conduct thls motion to the adjacent atoms and so on to the end of the wire.
 Electricity, like every other form of en- ergy such as light, heat and sound moves in waves. An essential wave motion set up at one end of a wire cannot result in anything but a similar wave motion at

A CONSTANTLY increasing number A of physicians prescribe Peruna in 4 \ their regular practice. It has proven it's merits so thoroughly that even the doctors have overcome their prejudice against so-called patent medicines and recommend it to their patients.
 Peruna occupies a unique position in medical science. It is the only internal systemic catarrh remedy known to the medical profession today. Catarrh, as every one will admit, is the cause of one half the diseases which afflict mankind. Catarrh and catarrhal diseases afflict one-half of the people of the United States.
 F. H. Brand M. D., of Mokena. Ill., uses Peruna in his practice. The fol- lowing case Is an example of the success he has through the use of Peruna for ca- tarrh.

CATION was with the President for more
than half an hour today. but was un-
able to move him. The President eX-
planned he had received Invitations from
the milIers, the lumbermen, ard large
number OF other organizations that will

LITTLE CHANCE FOR
DISTRICT ASPIRANTS
Appointment of Outsider to Succeed
Justice Hagner Apparently Assured.

The opinion prevails about the White

building that a local man will not be
appointed to fill the vacancy on the Dis
trict bench.
Senator McComas said yesterday, fol-
lowing his visit 10 the President for the
purpose OF presenting his candidate
John Writ Randall. of Annapolis. that
he believed the position would be given
to a nonresident He spoke with assur-
aBce and il is not unlikely that he re-
ceived some intlmation as TO whom the
President intends TO appoint. Whether
the President told the Senator that he
would name Mr.. Randall is not known
The Tumor that the District bar need
not hope for a local appointment un-
dCubtedly originated in Senator Me

MAMMOTH HOTEL
ON EBBITT SITE
To Take in Geological Sur
vey and Other Buildings.
PLANS UNDER DISCUSSION
Long Lease May Delay Arrangements.
Local Interests Concerned
in Deal.

The Ebbitt House. the building occu-
pied by the Geological Survey. and the
Intervening structures are to be toru
down and a mammoth hotel building
erected on their site. c. c. willard,
owner OF the Ebbitt House building. and
several local fnanciers. propose TO un-
dertake the project.
The plan will give Washington a hotel
that will compare favcrably with the,
best of modern hotels in this country.
The new building will probably extend
to the depth of the present building ua
Fourteenth Street, ans viii front on r
Street from Fourteenth Street TO the
alley midway between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth Streets.
Mr.. Willard said today that no definite
plans as to size, cost, or other details
agement of the Ebbitt House has three
years lease of the property. which has
not yet expired. and the consummation
OF definite plans may consequently be
delayed unless some agreement voidine
the unexpired term can be made. Mr.
Willard is understood to be the owner
OF all the property on the south side OF
Street. between Thirteenth and Four
tsenth Streets.
The property between the Ebbitt
House and the building containing the
Geological Survey. is one of the latest
of Mr.. WIZARDS acquisitions in that To-
cality. The small strip formerly belong
ed TO his brother. Joseph Willard. now
dead. During his brothers lifetime. c.
c. Wizard often attempted to buy the
property. but was unsuccessful. The
son of Joseph Willard. however. : after
his fathers death sold the property to
c. c. Willard. This gives Mr. Willard
ownership OF the entire site for the
proposed hotel.
