WRITING BY TELEGRAPH.

Boston Globe.

Boston Globe.
Ernst Carl Gruhn, young German cleo
trician, has patented what he calls the tel
cheirograph." an instrument that repro
duces over wire a written message.
1t differs from all other similar inventions
in that the actual writing of the message
sets up electric currents which reproduce il
at the other end. II has already been tried
with success over d line 200 miles long
and there seems to be no limit to its action
up to the distance over which telephone
messages may be sent.
In fact, II is more nearly related in its
action TO the telephone than to the tele-
graph. and the electric current ordinarily
used in telephoning is employed in this new
device. 1t is intended TO supplant the tele-
graph.
The transmitting apparatus is contained
In case about as large as a typewriter
cover. To a pencil holder are attached two
wires. each being part of circuit. When not
in use the pencil lies in rest that breaks
both circuits. much as a telephone receiver
breaks its circuit when not in use
The up and down motion of the pencil
sets up what mathematlclans would call
the ordinate current. the right and LETT
motion actuates the ''abscissa" current
When the pencil is al the top of the pad
the ordinate current is at its strongest and
when the pencil is on the right of the pad
the abscissa current Is strongest Ordinary
writing is, of course. combination of up
and down and right and left motions. When
the pencil is eff the paper the current Is
broken. as the lead slides up and down a
short distance. and pressure is needed &c
complete the circuits.
At the receiving station small mirror in
a dark box is so mounted that IL can be
rocked in any direction. Two magnates are
operated by two currents, and they rock
this mirror to correspond with the motion
OF the pencil.
A lamp with lens throws beam of ligh,
on the mirror, and this beam of light as
the mirror is rocked by the magnets. FOL
lows the exact motion of the point OF the
pencil. The light falls upon a roll Of sensi.
tized paper and prints upon it a facsimile OF
the written message.
When The message is written and the pen
ell upon its rest. the light of the lamT
goes out and little motor starts up. This
operates rollers that draw the part OF the
paper written upon into a development bath
and out again into a set of drying rolls sc

ing person.

THE JUVENILE COURT LAW
COLORED GIRLS BRING PROCEED
INGS TO TEST 1T.
The Complaint Alleges that a Justice
of the Peace Has No Jurisdiction
-Other Court News.

Bertha and Lizzie Haddex. colored girls.
aged sixteen and fifteen, respectively. have
filed suit in the Superior Court to test the
Juvenile Court law passed by the last
Legislature.
The two girls, by their next friend. filed
suit against w. III. Nickerson, justice of the
peace, who fined them for assault and bat
terry on July 10. 1t is claimed that Nicker-
son had no jurisdiction In the case, which
is one that comes wholly within the author
ty Of the Juvenile Court. The last Legis-
lature passed a law which provides that
when a boy under seventeen years and a
girl under eighteen years of age are ar
rested and the crime charged is not punish
able with death or life Imprisonment, the
Juvenile Court shall have exclusive juris-
diction. The purpose of the suit is to have
the judgment set aside and the justice of
the peace enjoined from enforcing the
Judgment.

A SURRENDER TO MODS.
How the Action Of Evansville Mer-
chants Looks to Outsiders.

How the Action of Evansville Mer-
chants Looks to Outsiders.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
That is a remarkable example of coward
ice and stupidity which is presented by those
employers and business men Of Evansville,
Ind, who have, under threat of boycott.
discharged from their employment men,
bers of the militia force employed in sup
pressing the riots there. A close second in
that record appears In the report that the
lynching mob and demanded the discharge
of the men who had served the law and
helped maintain order.
There have been at other times and in
other places intimations of lack of back
bone in business circles where the choice
was presented between the public welfare
and the immediate profit. But II was always
supposed that the business world has intel
ligence enough TO know how utterly its very
existence depends on the maintenance of
law and order. Yet 1t seems that in this
case not even that perception or mani
fest fact Is disclosed.
When we reflect on the absolute helpless
ness of business enterprises In location
ruled by passionate and murderous mobs
the ruling quality of this surrender appears
to be its stupidity. But when con-
fronted by men who, even for the sake of
their most vital interests, will not stand for
law and order the cowardice of this action
surpasses even its stupidity.
Yet this blindness is matched by the
faulty of labor organizations which make
common cause with lynch law. There is
no class that suffers more from the break
ing down of order than the laboring class.
This lesson was learned In Pittsburg in
1871 but Ii was taught before that in his
tory of the world. Whenever and where
ever law has been overthrow by brute
force labor conditions have always been at
the worst.
Those who seek to prevent the mainten-
ance and enforcement of order are labor S
worst enemies.

HECK'S CARNIVAL SHOWS.
They VIII Exhibit i'm Indianapolis
the Week of August B.


Heck's Carnival Shows. combination of
circus. theater and carnival. operated by
the General Amusement Company Of Gin
cinnati, will exhibit in Indianapolis the
week of Aug. 8 on the West Washington
street show grounds. The combination is
by far the largest aggregate OF such at
fractions that was ever brought together
and will be of a different and more preten-
tious nature than carnivals that have been
given in Indianapolis.
Business men OF indianapolis are inter
ested in the amusement enterprise. and II
is expected that thousands of people VIII be
attracted TO this city that week The rail-
roads entering Indianapolis. through their
representatives have agreed to furnish a
rate of one fare for the round trip from
points within a radius OF fifty miles OF this
city for W ednesday and Thursday of that
week. lnterurban roads have agreed TO run
special trains and the shows will be adver-
tised extensively throughout the State.
1t will require nearly all of the space
on the West WashngtOn-street show
grounds for the shows. There are in all
fourteen big attractions. The grounds will
be fenced off into d rectangular field and
inside of this field the attractions will be
arranged in the shape of a horseshoe. A
beautiful Illuminated arch at the main en-
trance will be constructed, and the cleo
trcal features of the shows will be the
most pretentious ever seen in this city.
large force of men will be put 10 work
early next week building the frame struc-
lures for the fronts of the various at
fractions and also the main entrance. Ii
will require a week TO complete this work
in order TO have everything in readiness for
the shows when they arrive on Sunday,
Aug 2, from Ohio.
The circus is the principal feature of the
combination of entertainments to be offered,
and one of the attractions will be an old
fashioned one-rng circus with the fea-
lures that have made modern circuses so
popular The combination includes animal
shows of every kind, dog, pony and mon
KEY shows and numerous other attractions.
| There will be no fake" attractions.

NO APOLOGIES REQUIRED.
IL Is Proper to Attend the Circus Even
without Children.

The circus Is becoming more and more
national attribute. 1t is factor in American
life. and the young American never forgets
his first circus. IL always remains con-
spicuous mile stone Of his earthly career.
Here's what the press agent says:
THE time was when IL was considered the
proper thing for adults TO apologize for going
to circus, and to give a fictitious excuse,
by saying that they went TO take the chill
dren Such apologies are out of place now.
IL is quite the thing 10 go To modern cir
Gus and the scarcity OF children in some
neighborhOods probably had something to
do with encouraging people to De honest and
frankly say that they like the circus.
THE evolution from the old time one
ring show with its small red painted wagons
to the mastodonic, rich and artistic aggre-
CATION such as is the Great Wallace Show
OF to-day. marks remarkable transforma-
ton which is merely in keeping with the
tendency TO vastness in all modern enter
prises.
THE announcement of the coming of big,
modern circus such as is the Wallace Show
arouses in the mind of Iuvenility visions of
supernal ecstasy which refuse to be con-
trolled on show day and the adult is also
reminded of the days when glimpse of the
wavering canvas, the sound of the music,
and the sight of the crowds seemed TO be
the ultimate end of life. the realization of
all aspirations.
wherever the Wallace Show goes,
youth and age join hands for the day in
response TO the exhilarating conditions
which are generated by the presence of the
| highest class circus In the world The
ma gnitude of the Wallace Show is such as
to satisfy the ever increasing demand for
| bigness. The Wallace parade is unusually
| interesting spectacle. its freshness and
| rich equipment being especially noticeable.
| The exceptional merit of its ring perform
ance and the value of it's extensive zoologi-
| cal collection has long ago secured for IL the
hearty Endorsement of the general public.
mo apologies are in order from any who
attend the Wallace performances They are
| of the highest standard and for quantity,
| quality and variety IL is impossible to con-
ceive of its failing to please. The most
| critical people will certainly be justified in
attending ii even without children when 1t
