If Marconi's prediction that when
wireless telegraphy is in full opera
ton messages can be transmitted
across the ocean for a cent a word
is verified it will mean a tremendous
reduction in the cost of long-distance
communication. But there are many
questions to be answered before
such condition of things is likely
to be brought about. The actual
practicability of wireless telegraphy
for ordinary commercial business has
yet to be demonstrated. Meanwhile
the cable companies will continue to
do business.

Mother and Three Daughters Lose
Their Lives in a Hotel Fire

Chicago, Jan. Fire in the Hotel
Somerset, Wabash avenue and Twelfth
street, caused the loss of four lives
Mrs. Margaret Perry and her three

It seems not unreasonable to ex-
pect that with closer contact, in
creased opportunities and the conse-
quent natural stimulation of com
mon business activities the opening
of cable communication with Hon
olulu will have a marked effect. The
experience of fairly large and
reasonably prosperous colony sud-
denly brought into full touch with
the outside world will be worth
watching, at all events.

Superstition never dies, and much
might be said for the theory that it
is a constant quantity, in spite of
all the modern improvements. Still,
it seems little queer to read that

Jail, after an Imprisonment of three

The account of the opening by
Lord Curzon at Delhi of the durbar,
held to celebrate the accession of
King Edward VII. as emperor, shows
the pageant to be the most maguifi-
cent in the history of India, that
land of tabled oriental splendor.
Hitherto the durbar conducted by
Lord Lytton. at which Queen
Victoria was proclaimed empress,
has been considered the most impos-
ing spectacle in Indian history. That
was q generation ago, however. Since
then the strength of the military
forces has been greatly enlarged.

bers of congress, though there is no
immediate prospect of legislation on
the subject. Some advocate the cut

payment of fiat salary of $500 in

also to deprive them of mileage,
which is ten cents per mile each way
