An Old Time Remedy.

In the ice chest of a Germantown
residence there are always lying four
or five big keys. This is because the
nose of the little son of the house
bleeds every few days. and nothing
stops the hemorrhage like the dropping
a large, cold key down the ehild's back,
says the Philadelphia Record. He
squrms and cries out before the shock,
and then in a moment he is well, his
nose stops bleeding. A physician said
that the cold key remedy for the hem
orrhage of the nose was as old, he sup
posed, as keys themselves are. 1T is a
very good remedy" he went on. land
its curative power is due to the shock 1t
gives. But isn't it an odd thing to use
a cold key? Almost as odd, to my mind,
as the candle with which some persons
tallow their noses when they have a
cold. But the candle remedy does no
good, so far as | can see, whereas the
key remedy is one of the best in the
business

He Didn't Take the Hint.

Chicago once had as its superintend-
ent of city schools a bachelor named
Rowland, whose grufness of manner
and love of neatness were proyerbial.
Going into the room of a young and at
traetlve teacher one day, Mr.. Rowland
took notice of an untidy desk and a
carelessly arranged bookshelf, and,
pointing his finger at them, queried
brusquely:
"What kind of housekeeper do you
think you'd makeY
why, Mr.. Rowland, are you looking
for one?" was the humorously quizzical
reply.

The past year has been remarkable
for sudden and practical advance
in the marvellous history of the wire
less telegraph. The scientific achieve
ment which had been dreamed of for
nearly half a century, and only within
late years had shown itself something
better than a dream, has given the
most definite and the most encourag-

as one of the worlds greatest accom-
plishments in the domain of practical

His Grace.

Bishop Wilberforce used to tell sto-
ry of a greedy clergyman who when
asked to say grace looked anxiously to
see if there were champagne glasses
ON the table. If there were, he began,
"Bountiful Jehoyahw But If he saw
only claret glasses he said, I'VE are
not worthy of the least of thy mercies."

A great thinker and inventor has
said of the future newspaper: ave
may, and l believe shall, have news
transmission by air waves into phono-
graphic instruments which will repeat
the news of the day and record it at
the same time, SO that people may
listen or may read as they prefer. The
great force of the future is electricity,
and it is in its infancy as yet. 1t will
be used to obviate all unnecessary
waste of nervous tissue, and the phono-
airwave newspapers of which | speak
will certainly be transmitted some day
direct from the brains of their pro-
ducers without any such manual labor
as writing and without even the need
of speaking them aloud"

Activity in Nevada.

After some years of comparative in
activity. Nevada has begun to climb
up the ladder again. During the year
1902 the mining industry in Nevada re-
ceived an impetus that seems likely to
keep it moving for some time to come.
To the new camp of Tonopah that has
already produced SO much wealth, and
that seems destined to add a great deal
more wealth to the worlds possessions,
this impetus is largely due.
But the renewed activity has not
been confined to Tonopah alone. Other
mining camps in Nevada are showing
signs of an awakening. New discover
les have been made in various sections
of the state. Outside capital is again
being interested and the indications
are that the State is entering upon an
era of prosperity such as it has not
witnessed since the halcyon days of
Virginia City.
The Herald wishes the plucky people
of Nevada all possible success. They
deserve good fortune, for they have
labored long and earnestly. The ma
terial for the making of success is
there, and a renewal of energy will
bring it out. The day may not be so
very far distant when Nevada will once
more resume the place she formerly
held in the ranks of the mining States.

In an interview with Secretary OF
War Root in Washington d. C., last
week President Hartman of the S. p.
Co. told the Secretary he was expend-
ing tens of millions of dollars in the
reconstruction of the Union Pacific.
The plans are being perfected for a
tunnel under the Sierra Nevada Range,
near Truckee, Cal, which would, he
said, permit descent into the Sacra-

these improvements completed, the

1t is beyond question that wireless
telegraphy, if it can be made practi-
cable for everyday business, will be
cheaper than any system of communi-
cation by means of wires. If it sup
plants the latter there will be an end
of unsightly and inconvenient tele-
graph poles in the country and in
small cities, and the expensive cables
that are needed when wires are placed
underground or beneath the sea.
Doubtless we shall have wires with us
for many years yet, but the prospect of
their ultimate retirement in favor of
electrical waves is pleasing.

He left early in the afternoon for the

Fuel Riots Threatened.

Topeka, Kan: The coal famine in
Kansas is taking on more serious
aspect. Dealers in Topeka announced
Monday that they were practically out
of coal, with no immediate chance OF
getting more. The State Reform
School has only a two days supply
left. In Ottawa, Lawrence and Atch.
ison riots have been narrowly averted
during the past three days whenever
a car of coal would arrive. Much suf-
fering exists among the poorer classes,
because they can not obtain rough
coal. 1t is alleged that the railroads are
conhscating a large part of the coal
that is shipped. They are ready to re-
imburse the owners of the coal, out
their action makes the coal famine
much more stringent

GERMAN AMBASSADOR GONE
DR.. Won HoLLEsEN GIVEN LEAVE
or ABSENCE BECAUSE or
ILLNESS.
Baron Won sternburs Comes as spe-
eiaI assador-change at Crit
leaI Stage Creates Sensation IN the
German Capital.

Berlin: The withdrawal from
Washington Of DIR. Won Holleben, Ger.
man Ambassador to the United States,
has been Of1cially announced. Coming
while the Venezuelan AFFAIR is still
critical, the announcement created a
tremendous sensation In political cir.
cIes here. The Foreign ONCE states
that the Ambassador applied for In
definite leave OF absence on account
Of illness, but adds the significant in
formation that no charge d'affairea
has been appointed, as Is customary.
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, Consul
General to Calcutta, will be installed
as Special Ambassador.
Il may be taken as practically Ger
tain that Won Holleben will never re-
turn to his post. His retirement has
undoubtedly been precipitated by the
Venezuelan affair. He is charged in
Berlin with having failed to keep the
Imperial Government accurately ad-
vised as to American opinion with ref
erence to matters wherein German
ambitions clash with Americans sus-
capabilities. He is further blamed for
his inability to stem the tide of anti
German feeling.
If there is any specific reason for
DR.. Won Holleben's withdrawal at this
time there is high authority for stat
ing that President Roosevelt's refusal
10 arbitrate the Venezuelan difficulty
supplies it. 1t is believed that the
Kaiser would never have sugs ested
President Roosevelt's name unless DR..
Won Holleben had furnished assurance
that the proposal would be accepted.
The Presidents refusal constituted a
diplomatic rebuff which gave a severe
blow to German pride. German com
mercial interests have always been in
clined to criticise Won Holleben, ow-
ing to his failure to make any pro-
gress in the direction of a CONNER
cial treaty between Germany the
United States.
The inference naturally follows that
Baron Won Sternburg will succeed DR..
Won Holleben as Ambassador.
DR.. Won Holleben has notified the
Foreign Office that he will sail from
New York on Saturday. His health
was so bad during his recent leave of
absence that his audience with the
Emperor was postponed for six weeks.
1t is understood that the Ambassa-
doris present leave of abseace is I'M
limited, and that it will certainly ex-
tend six months.
Baron Herman Speck Won Sternburg
was formerly Secretary of the German
Embassy at Washington. He was one
Of the German commissioners at the
Samoan conference, and was cOnspic-
uous in the negotiations following the
outbreak of trouble in China, when he
was recalled from Washington to Ber-
lin for a conference with the authori-
ties there. The baron's appointment
as Consul General at Calcutta was
recognition of his services. On De-
cember 5. 1900, ne married in London

duty OF anthracite coal Similar meas
ures have been introduced In the

The cold weather of the last few

by the agitation Of local committees
representing citizens associations and
the board OF trade Of " Arlington. SEN
ator Stewart OF the Senate Committee
on District of Columbia has started
an investigation into the case Of short
age in the national capital. The inves-
ugation thus far has indicated that the
Independent operators are selling the
bulk of the coal that comes to Wash
ington, and there has been a strong in
ference that the coal operators in the
alleged coal combine have been selling
coal to the independent operators and
the Independents, after selling at a
greatly advanced price, have divided
profits with the combine operators.
