boarding at the Sixth avenue hotel,
near the Home Furniture factory.
Baker secured employment at the

and for fear of distressing Mrs. Baker
and cutting off of his boarding place,
he reported at home that he was brak

Long Distance TeIephoniHg.

It is said that Prof. Michael Pupin
has sold the European patent rights of
his invention for the transmission of
telephone messages over long cables to
the firm of Siemens & Halske Of Ber-
lin. Whether any reliance is to be
placed upon the report that he receiv-
ed a half million dollars from the firm
for the exclusive European rights can
not be ascertained. No doubt the pa
tents were bought for large sum.
The report made to the firm by It's
engineer states:
"The experimental tests demonstrate
that the insertion of inductance coils
into long distance telephone conduc-
tors, in accordance with Pupin's in
vention, enables US to obtain in prac-
tice the enormous effects required, and
that long distance telephony actually
enters into new era of development.
The problem of transatlantic telephony
has become through this invention
"a possibility, even if the cost Of a
suitable submarine cable might still
be too high and the technical difficult
ties accompanying the manufacture
and laying Of submarine cable with
coils in great submarine depths might
be considered as exceptionally serious.
"The manufacture and laying OF
Pupin's cables in the less consider
able depths of the Mediterranean,
the North Sea and the Baltic offer no
difficulty whatsoever, so that there is
nothing in the way of establishing di-
rect telephone communication between
Berlin-Londoa, Berlin-Copenhagen-
Stockholm, etc.
This is all very interesting and some
what instructive, but what would be
more interesting to the American
Public would be to know what the
Bell Telephone Company has done
with Prof. Pupin's American patents.
It is generally understood that Prof.
Pupin sold his American patents to
the Bell Telephone company, which
instead Of improving its long distance
service by utilizing the Pupin inven-
tion, has locked up the patents in its
strong box and has tacitly said to the
American people; we monopolize the
long distance telephone business in
this country; We recognize the fact
that the Pupin invention would greatly
add to the efficiency of long distance
telephony, and we accordingly pur-
chased the patents to protect our
monopoly. It would, however, cost
money to apply the invention to our
system, so We say to the American
people, be patient, wait seventeen
years, and when the patent rights ex-
pire we will give you the benefits of
them. In the meantime the rest Of
the world will be enjoying the advant-
age of an American invention nearly
two decades ahead of America. This
situation illustrates very strikingly
the beautaiful effect upon the public
interests of an iron-clad monopoly of
public utility.-Greenville News.

In the Boston Globe of last Sunday
George Alfred Townsend says: Stat

statue OF Dewitt Clinton in the city

that a large and important statue OF
Clinton was in Greenwood Cemetery,
erected by the public, and that it re-
sembled the German poet, Goethe.
So when they are talking at Rich

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not grippe
nor weaken the system. They cure bilious
ness, iaundice, constipation and inactive
livers, by arousing the secretions, moving
the bowels gently, yet efectually, and Civ
ing such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels that the
cause of tIe trouble is removed entirely.
These famous little pills exert decided
tonic effect upon the organs involved, and
if their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the trouble. j S

stream known as Foundry Branch,
near Oxford, N. c., today Ethel Roys-

named William Tillotson were thrown
into the water by the oyerturning Of

beneath the vehicle and drowned.
Miss Dean seized bush as she was
swept down the stream. Tillotson
grasped her skirt in passing and both
were rescued few minutes later by a
twelye-year-old brother of young Til
lotson, who waded out to their assist
ance. The body Of Miss Royster was
found half mile further down the
stream.

Berlin. Feb. Some disappoint-
ment is felt by the German foreign
Office officials at Minister Bowen's atti-
tude in his conference with the amoas-
sador at Washington. Mr.. Bowen, 1t
is said here, impresses the representa-
GiYes of the allies as allowing MS
lighting spirit to overbear his desire
for quick settlement. His deneanor
at the conferences is describe as that
Of an advocate defending an innocent,
presented client. Besides the foreign
Office regards Mr.. Bowen's first prop
osition as having been changed after
it was accepted, and it is held that 1t
was not clearly stated and for that rea-
son vas misunderstood.
It is also averred here that Mr..
RoWen's powers are not SO full as
desirable.
The cooperating powers, standing by
their first condition that the blockade
shall not be raised until an adequate
guarantee for the payment OF the re-
served claims is given, have instruct
ed their embassies at Washington to
insist upon such an adequate guar
antee. Otherwise the blockade will
continue for months, or for years II
this is necessary to pursuade Presl.
dent Castro to meet the demands OF
the allies. Some of Minister Bowen's
suggestions are here regarded as being
I" almost triyiaI.'' The view is held IN
Berlin that he does not realize that
the cooperating powers are in earnest
in that they cannot and will not de-
part from the only stipulation which
they made precedent to arbitration.
