Walter Clark, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina, has
an article ON "Old Foes With New
Faces" ia the Arena for October. from
which we extract the following:
The telegraph. too. originally belong
ed to our Postoffice Department. as
both telegraph and telephone do in all
other great countries. England in
cluded. In them you can send q tele-
gram from any point to any other for
ten or twelve cents, and in some coun-
tries the Government charges six or
nine dollars per annum for the use OF
the telephone. In this country the
telegraph rates are sach that though, as
Congressional investigation showed,
the stockholders of the Western Union
have never paid in but S545. 900 in cash.
That company is capitalized at $l20, 00O,-
900, besides having paid dividends all
these years. There is nc reason why
our people should have paid the enor-
nous sums accumulated by the tele-
graph and telephone companies when
the Government could have saved the
public these sums by operating them as
q part Of the Postoffice, as all other
civilized countries have done. Then,
in all other countries but ours, the Post
Office operates a parcel post, delivering
packages up to eleven pounds in weight,
even by rural mail delivery, for six
cents up. The express company monop-
oily has defeated all propositions of the
kind here. We know from official re-
ports that the railroads charge the
Government for annual rental of pc sta
cars more than the total cost of build
ing the cars, and that they charge for
freight on mail in addition eight times
what they charge the express COM
panies for hauling the same weights.
Four Presidents and several Postmaster
Generals have recommended the return
of the telegraph to the Postofice and
the adoption Of European Parcels Post
and Postal Saving Banks. but in vain.
In short, we have the most antiquated
postal system among civilized States.
Even the Free Rural Delivery, now so
popular, was only adopted many years
after it had been in successful operation
in European countries, and only then
after the Express companies had been
conciliated by striking out the Parcels
Post feature. The Review of Reviews
for August said hat our postal system.
which ought to be the best in the world,
is falling behind that of almost all CIV
ilized countries = = because private
interests which absorb half the postal
revenues are much more influential in
Washington than is the public demand
for a better service on a better basis"
The sole remedy is Government opera
ton through the Postofice of telegraph,
telephone and parcels post, and owner
ship of its own postal cars.
The postal scandal. which of late has
attracted so much public attention. did
not take from the public altogether as
much as the public loses in any one
hour by the excess in Trust charges in
operating these functions over and
above what the charges would be if
operated by our Postofice, as in other
countries.

some one Of the railroad lines Of the east
The report of the investigating commit
tee was made in 1873, and it recommended
that suits in the name of the United States
be brought against all who had shared III
the profits of building the Union Pacific
for recovery of the money. In 1894. when
the thirty-year bonds of 81, $50 600 issued
to the Union Pacific Company in 1864, fell
due, payment was evaded for the purpose
of getting the road in the hands of a re-
ceiver. In April of that year the Union
Pacific was in debt $245 SOC, coo, of which
amount s55 100000 was owing the govern
ment of the United States.
In 1898 the Union Pacific railroad was
sold and an aggregate of $40, 600 600, which
included interest, was paid to the govern
ment, and the latter ceased to have any
interest in the company.

GRAFTERs' FERTILE FIELD.
Revenue for Vendors of Electrical
Frauds in Gotham,

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
The American people, according to the
late Phineas L. Barnum, like to be hum
plugged. Many persons can be made to be-
lieve that an electric generating machine
always resembles two large spools of green
silk set up on end. If they learn differently
they are amused at their former belief and
proud Of their get-ativeness. Electricity is
such mysterious thing, with something of
the black art about 1t, that nothing seems
to be too marvellous to be accomplished by
it, and many imposters have reaped, and
for that matter are still reaping, rich har-
vest by making use of the ignorance and al
most childish confidence which the invest
ing public has in old and new and startling
discoveries in electricity.
The electro-medical appliances which usu-
ally can be writ down. as frauds, with the
exception, possibly, of the X-ray, are too
many to detail. They are no worse than
quack medicines, except that they cost
more. 1nasmuoh as they are not taken
internally, excepting, again, the subtle beam
through the human frame of the powerful
induction machine, they can do little harm,
and may do good. The modest dealer will
ask you 500 for a medical cell which, it is
declared, will deliver an electric current by
being placed on cracked ice; little-neck
CLAIMS on CONCEALED water would give bet
ter results. The wonderful thing about a
medical battery / saw worked the other
day is that 1t required but one wire to con-
vey the current, there being no return wire
or ground connection. The cell, with its
adjunct of frappe, is to be placed on the
carpet and the victim on a hair mattress
no better insulation can be desired. Oh 1t
is great graft. Electric combs, electric
corsets, electric rings, pins, brushes and
what not are found in the holiday adver-
tisenents 1t would be unfair to suppose
their dispensers were, In all cases, trying
to do the people into believing their
wares contained or were capable of gener-
ating an Edison or a Westinghouse current.
The word electric" used in such connec-
ton, must be considered as an adjective
expressive of delight accruing to the pur-
chaser 1t is as tangible as lovers kiss
over the telephone.

the trained nurses depend on physicians to
send them cases. The high-class undertake
ers say that women embalmers are now
essential to their business.
The several training schools for en-
baJmers in this city all have classes for
women. Two schools make women's train
ing in this matter their special object to
impress the students with the Importance
of the work. While the vocation is not one
to attract the average woman of education
and energy, still the woman embalmer Is
as much needed as the gentle-mannered un-
dertaker in administering to refined people,
and the comparatively short term of ap-
premiership needed to become efficient Is
an inducement to women on the lookout for
a means of livelihood. number of trained
nurses have studied embalming. The course
occupies from three to four weeks, COM
prising lecture and several hours Of work
daily during that period. The lecture rooms
are fitted up with anatomical charts and
specimen figures. All the candidates for
training in the best schools have to furnish
references to character and RESPONSE
bility, and they must also give warrant Of
having a healthy nervous system.

THREE coLoRs
Obtained in Photography by Using
Paper Instead of Glass.

London Corr New York Tribune.
At the London Camera Club Mr.. Sanger
Shepherd gave demonstration Of new
process of producing three-color photo
graphs on paper instead Of on glass, as has
been chiefly done hitherto. Thus far nearly
all the three-color processes brought for
ward are merely notifications Of that pro-
posed. and, indeed, practiced long ago by
Ducos du Hauron. in which three negatives
are taken through three-colored screens,
and these are successfully printed, eacn IN
the color complimentary to that of its
screen. and superimposed. Thus, the mega
tive taken behind a screen would be printed
in red and yellow and blue, prints being Sc
cured from negatives taken with plue anu
red screens respectively, and, being pro-
duced on transparent film, can be laid one
upon the other, and the trichomatc erect
produced. The extreme delicacy OF the
films and the difficulty OF getting . tns ehf se
rious obstacle until the improved Lumdere
process introduced thin sheets of tale as
the support for the colored prints
The chief point of divergence in the PRO
cess now shown by MFR. Sanger Shepherd is
that the three successive images are actual
printings in pigment instead OF being super
imposed films. The same triplet OF mega
tives is required, and these are dyed the
three primary colors.c The paper to be
printed on Is prepared by thinly coating
with gelatine, and with this gelatinized sur
face the red-dyed negative Is nrst Drought
in contact In the course of a few minutes
the dyed film parts with its coloring matter,
which, by principle familiar to collotyp-
ers and others. filters out into freshly pre-
sented gelatine, and the yellow and blue
are afterward printed in the same way.
Credit may be given to Mr.. Sanger Shep-
herd for having thus thought Of applying
to trichromatic printing method which
long ago was used in monochrome, but the
difficulties. which further experimenting
may remove but which at present would
seem to exist, are that. given exact regis
tration of the three successive negatives. 1t
is not clear how blurring due to lateral
spreading Of the color as 1t Is taken up by
the gelatinized paper can be prevented, and,
as the amount of duration of each printing
is controlled by the Judgment or taste Of
the operator, no reliance can be placed on
securing the precise relative proportions of
the three colors requisite for producing
even approximately. the entire range of nat
ural color; nor is 1t explained how, should
the process be employed commercially, uni
formity among any number OF copies is to
be secured.

SERVANTS IN MANILA.
Their Methods Would Not Exactly Suit
an American Housewife
From the Outlook.


From my friends here learn that much
Of the patriarchal system Of living still pre-
walls even in Manila, says an American
woman. In some large houses there are
from twenty to thirty dependents of all de-
grees, from poor relations to cooks and
scullions. These persons live about the
house, sleeping in corners. and are clothed
and fed by the mistress. They marry, have
children and raise them In harum- scarum
way that would drive an American woman
to an insane asylum. Again and again 1
have seen in one of the finest houses here
small naked children asleep behind the par
lor door, while large-eyed, placid women
nursed babies quite unabashed as they
crouched on the floor in the Railways.
These servants have their home, their
clothes, food and from three to five pesos a
month. In a way, I suppose, they earn this
money. as they nonchalantly polish the
hardwood floors or carelessly flap the dust
from the center of tables and chairs
They sit on the floor in kitchens in front
of a pan of water and wash the dishes that
are piled up around them, and stack them
edgeways along the wall to dry. Surely
their ways are not ours, and 1t is shock
to the nerves to see kitchen in the heat
Of preparation for banquet Of which one
is to partake later. 1t requires some skill
to pass between the various dishes being
prepared on the floor, where cats and dogs
and babies, meats and fruits and vegeta-
bles, seem hopeessly jumbled up. / always
forget about it later, for delicious dinner
will almost always come forth from the
chaos. Many of these servants have lived
all their lives in one family. They feel
themselves dependent on their masters, and
the idea Of their going away or being dis
missed never occurs to either master or
servant. There Is consequently a family
feeling between them, and freedom of in
tercourse that we. democrats though We
are, would not tolerate. friend told me
that his head servant always demonstrates
with him when he disapproves any course
of action, and sometimes have witnessed
an alteration between a mistress and maid
in which the maid prevailed. At one house,
1 remember, there was a difference Of opin-
ion at dinner as to the kind of wine to be
served, and the servant had his way; yet
they are not considered impertinent by their
ma listers.
