WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY TRl-
UMPHANT.

Inventor William Marconi sent the
following message yesterday morning
direct to Poldhu. Cornwall, from his sta
ton on Cape Cod;
His Majesty King Edward VII,
London (by Marconi transatlantic wire
less telegraphy):
In taking advantage of the wonderful
triumph of scientifcresearch and ingenu-
ity which has been achieved in perfect
ING a system Of wireless telegraphy | ex-
tend. on behalf of the American people,
most cordial greetings and good wishes
to YOU and to all the people of the Brit
ish Empire. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The reply came by the same means, as
follows:
The President, White House, Wash
ington. America
| thank you most sincerely for the
kind message which have just received
from you through Marconi's trans-Atlan-
tic wireless telegraphy. | sincerely re-
ciprocate in the name Of the people Of
the British Empire the cordial greetings
and friendly sentiment expressed by you
on behalf of the American nation and |
heartily wish you and your country every
possible prosperity. EDWARD, Rand /.
These were not only the first full mes
sages sent by wireless telegraphy between
Wellheet and Poldhu, but the first let
ters and the first attempt to establish
communication.
Mr.. Marconi availed himself of the
words sent by the President for his
initial attempt TO test the perfection OF
his arrangement. He said when ar
nouncing the achievement 'We
were really not quite ready, but had
reached a point where trial was war-
ranted. A set of signals was prear-
ranged for such purposes, but, as was
remarked by Mr.. Bradfeld, who was
with me, 'Why not use the Presidents
massage p We did so accordingly,
and then called called up Glace Bay to
assure ourselves of the success of our
efforts. The message was repeated 10
Glace Bay and sent thence. While
this was in progress we got the signal,
by way of Glace Bay, that the message
directed to Poldhu had gone through
all right"
There was no mistaking the air of ex-
ultation that prevailed in Mr.. Marconi's S
demeanor. His usually quiet, reserved
manner had relaxed perceptibly and
there were unmistakable signs of relic
from heavy mental burden He said
there was no hitch in the process OF
sending.
at is enough for us to know" he
said, "that a message can be sent that
distance, more than 5000 miles, and we
have no reason to suppose there was any
special difficulty over there"
The message from President Roose-
welt was sent in the morning at one q
the moments prearranged between the
stations when something might be looked
for. This scheme is necessary on ac.
count of the DEFICIENCIES at Poldhu anc
the conditions that have occupied Mr.
Marconi at WellAeet, Mass, for the las
three days. Mr.. Marconi said there was
much to be done here yet, his expires
sion being: "Of course, we are all in
heap Just now" but he added in re-
sponse to an inquiry that he expected tC

The report on foreign correspondence
which appears in the current journal of
the Grand Lodge, F. y. A NJ, was prepared
by Past Grand Master George w. Baird
who is prominent naval officer and has
long been superintendent of the War State
and Navy Departments building. 1t con-
tains a great deal OF valuable Information
and is prepared in excellent style. The
report shows that in nearly all grand juris-
dictions in the world touching illusions

Commenting on these, the reviewer says
while we believe, with the Chinese, that
death is an unpleasant thing to talk about,
we nevertheless are touched by any pleas

Past Grand Master Baird travelled extern
sively throughout the world while on sea
service and with Gen. Grant, and visited
many lodges in different parts of the globe.
This experience serves to make his review
uniquely interesting.
He says: I'VE were made a Mason in
Portugal. in the French rite: we fraternized
with Masons In Paris in 1867; we found
them not more or less inclined to atheism
than other intelligent men in Italy, Por-
tugal, Austria. Spain South America.
From our observation we are of the opinion
that in a Romish country, when man
falls out with his church. he looks for
something with which to affiliate which his
church antagoniZes; and in his vindictive-
ness he would use the fraternity for his
purpose. That there is benayolence and
love and charity in the grand orient no one
has doubted, but if they deny the existence
of God how can they revere an obligation?
We have visited many lodges in
Romish countries and have been struck
with the atheistic tendency of not only the
Masons, but all educated men in the large
cities. We have not, however, found any
lodges 'sohdly arrayed against the Catholic
Church. What we did find was this: Men
having fallen out and become disguised
with their church, would affiliate with any
thing the church antagonized. Some of
them go into Masonry; they attempt to use
it against the church.. and If there should
be enough of them in the lodge, they might
succeed, but we have found them always in
the minority. In Spain it is a capital Of

Pope Leo on Diet.

TIC the Editor of The Evening Star:
The end of the Lenten season is ap-
preaching. when good and religious people
are prone to indulge their appetites after
long time of comparative fasting These
should read the poem of Pope Leo XIII,
published about two years ago at Rome,
and the following is a free translation into
English from the Latin. the language that
the pope commonly uses.
The pope is now ninety-three years of
age, and it may be that in the method of
his eating in It's simplicity and abstem-
BUSINESS is indeed the secret of his green old
age. The poem is an ode to frugal living
and Pope Leo is frugality personifed; for
1t is said by those who know the fact that
everything that savors of luxury is ban
ished from his menu The cost of srpnIy-
ing his personal table during his occupan-
cy of the Vatican has never exceeded 81 per
DAY. 1t is very likely that Pope Leo, by
reason of his frugal habits, will round out
Iull century of life. j. r. HAYES.

STEEL PLANT BUILDING

The old brick Paden House Is to
be remodeled and changed into a
banking room.
The gentleman who will have
charge of selling the lots will open
up an Office In very few days now.
Deeds have already been printed
and contracts already to sign for
the sale of lots.
Some old houses that stood on
the new proposed street, to be
known as Fourth avenue, on which
the street cars will run into Paden
City on, are being moved back so
the railroad can be built and the
street paved. In and about all OF
these improvements many men are
finding steady employment at good
wages. Sistersville Is getting the
benefit of this work. A merchant
informed as last night his business
this summer had exceeded any.
thing he had ever done here even
during the early oil excitement.
Another merchant reports bis sales
this year as being 70 per cent ahead
of last year this time. Wherever
you 20 you find merchants report
trade many times better than 1t has
ever been. But just wait until the
street cars begin to run and the
mills and factories at work at Paden
City and then we will boom.
