FLASHED FROM CAPE COD.

Message Sent by Roosevelt to Ed z A - ward by Marconi. ~- WELLFLEET. Mass, Jan. 20.-Mar- conf and his assistants, Kemp, Taylor and Bradfeld, are enthused at the un- expected success of getting a message across the 5000 miles of ocean from here to Poldhu hours before they had thought it possible to send signals across. --4 l-E~-> ..,
 During the night a dispatch was re- cei1ed from President Roosevelt to be sent to King Edward as soon as the system was in working order, and Mar conf, to test the sending apparatus, practiced sending the message without having attempted to call up the Poldhu station.
 Then, having the presidents message at hand and thinking that he might not be able to get the English station for a day or so, he decided to send it by the way of Table Head. He did so, calling up the Table Head station.
 Marconi then directed the operator at Table Head station to forward the mes sage to England, but he was immedi- ately astonished by the reply from Cape Breton, which was to the effect that he had just been informed by the station at Poldhu that the message had been received direct from Wellfeet.
 Marconi said he had no thought of Poldhu getting the message when he first tried the sending apparatus with it, but he was none the less well pleased. The time of the transmission of the message was about four min utes.
 Marconi said that the presidents message was the first and only message sent by wireless from here to England thus far

Lacleawanna Company Heard.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2O.-The ex- animation of Colonel R. A. Phillips O. Scranton, general superintendent of the mining department of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company, took up the greater part of yesterdays session of the coal strike commission. Superintendent Phillips told of conditions in and about the col lieries owned by the Lackawanna com pany. Like some of the other superin- tendents who have testified. he believed the men had a right to organize if they wanted to, but no person who is not employed by the company had a right to come in and tell the men or the com pany what they should do. Much of the witness testimony was along the same line as that already given by other su- perintendents.

She died, and as she bore no children

THE NEED OF HIGH CULTURE.

TIE NEED OF HIGH CULTURE.
We cannot obtain good fruit that will
have shipping and keeping qualities
from trees that are trying to produce
in an Impoverished soil. Not only
should thorough cultivation be given to
soil in orchards, hut the soil may need
the application of some fertilizer. If
there is a deficiency of mineral Gle
ments, fruit will have poor shipping
and keeping quality. Light soils are
plates, whilc heavy OF clay soils may
have an abundance Of these. For this
reason apples grown on light soils
should he sent to our home mark cts,
while those grown upon Il clay soil can
be shipped with greater safety to for
cign and distant markets.
Another very important factor in
long keeping of fruit is Il perfect and
healthy foliage upon trees. 1t is the
function OF the foliage 10 elaborate the

cient in color and flavor, that will slack

In Criminal Walks the Sex Is Keeping
Well Up with Man.

women are making prOgr5 IS along
more than one line" remarked an OLD
member of the police force. "A recent
example shows that they are quite as
eiIic mt as men IN the matter OF safe
blowing. Woman in the role OF safe
blower is new to the police. the TACT
is that the operation Of female Offend
ers has heretofore been confined to OIL
fences OF the daytime or OF the early
part of the night. But here comes a
story from Tennessee OF the arrest OF
several women who belong to gang OF
expert cracksmen, and who actually
took part in a safe blowing in a small
town near Nashville, where they rob-
he'd a bank and got $l7OO.
Women have often developed into
expert forgers, as for instance in the
recent case of an American woman
abroad who succeeded in conducting
forgery scheme for considerable
length of time and until she had fraud
ucntly collected u vast sum OF money.
They make high-class pickpockets and
in this line of work than men.
Zone curious fact in this connection
despite the frequent announcements
publicly made of offences OF this kind
committed by women, men are never
on the lookout for the female pick
pocket unless they find themselves in
a questionable resort, and in bad COM
Dany. For this very reason women find
it much easier to pick mans pocket.
They can get closer to men, too, with
out becoming offensive, and can lift
the diamond pin out of his scarf. nip

liable thing he may have before he will
ever dream of anything wrong.

the way she dresses and woman'S Pc
culiar demeanor around the counters in
dry goods stores. If man for instance,
should go into dry goods store and
begin to pick up little things and FUN
BILE over them, apparently for the pur-
pose of inspection. he would at once
arouse the suspicion of every clerk
within visual range. On the ether hand,
q woman may do exactly the same
thing without exciting the least sus-
picion. 1t is simply looked upon as a
matter of comparative ease for the
kleptomaniac.
But the woman safe-blower is a
new type, as far as my experience goes,
and | suppose it simply means that
the police of the country will soon be
confronted with many new problems in
