Since the invention Of wireless te;egrapby
the people have ceased to wonder at any
thing, and seem ready to accept the ap-
parently impossible if it is backed by au-
thority SUFFICIENT to command respect. Life
IN TINS age or marvels makes one almost
blase to the supernatural.
Hence the announcement that we are
soon to have wireless telephony has not
aroused more than passing interest, except
In scientific circles. But the experiments
now going on are fraught with great pos
siDiiities. The United States navy has un-
dertaken the development of the wireless
telephone, and one of its officers has sue
ceeded In carrying on conversation through
the air with another officer at an instru-
ment two miles distant The experiments
have been SO successful that these officers
now are installing Instruments upon two
battleships, with the view of giving wire
proves successful the apparatus will be
placed upon all our warships
When this Is accomplished, life on the
ocean wave will be greatly changed. Every
vessel Of a fleet will be enabled to COM
municate with every other vessel by word
of mouth. There will be no more need OF
signals or of sending flag officers out in
small boats to carry messages ito other
ships. The admiral can go to his telephone
and transmit orders vocally. without risk
Of being misunderstood and without loss
Of time. Every captain will be able to re-
port to the flagship at any moment. The
result will be that squadron or feet can
be fought as one ship-a unity Of action at
which naval practice has been aiming for
centuries

FELL FROM PULLMAN OAR.
Bertha Garshwiler Sues the Company
for sI5, 900 Damages.

The Pullman Company was yesterday
made defendant in a $4,000 damage suit filed
by Bertha Garshwiler by her next friend,
George T. Garshwiler, to recover for inju-
ries which she received through the alleged
negligence of the company.
The complaint recites that the plaintiff,
a little girl OF thirteen, in company with her
father, mother and little sister, took passage
on one of the company's sleeping cars in
Portland, Ore, on July n last for the pur-
pose of coming to Chicago. Bertha occu-
pied a lower berth and before she retired
for the night, the porter was requested to
place a screen in the window to prevent the
little girl from falling out. He failed to do
this and as the train was going at a rapid
rate of speed Bertha fell out or the win
dow.
When her absence was discovered, her IA
and go In search of his daughter. The con-
ductor promised to send an engine and crew
back when he reached the next station but
failed to do SO and Mr.. Garshwiler in COM
pany with some employees of the company,
was compelled to go back on hand car
eighteen miles to where he found his daugh-
ter lying by the right of way in her night
dress cold and shiverfng from the long ex-
posture. Bertha was picked up unconscious
and suffering from painful internal injuries.
She was confined to her bed for three weeks
after she returned to this city from Chi
cagO.

SCOff AT THE STORIES
OFFICIALS OF THE MINE WORKERS
EMPHATIC IN STATEMENTS.
Say There Is Nothing i'm Report of 20
Per Cent. Decrease fin Wages
other Reports Equally Wrong.

Officials at the headquarters of the
United Mine Workers of America fatty
deny the reports in Chicago papers to the
effect that when the delegates to the con-
vention of the United Mine Workers meet
in indianapolis next month they will be
obliged to consider demand for 20 per
cent. decrease in wages made by the mine
operators in the four competitive States of
western Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois, in which the interstate agreement
is in force. Nor do they verify the report
that it has been decided to ask an increase
of the operators of something like 10 per
cent. 1t is pointed out that the reports in
the Chicago papers wrong because no
one knows what action the convention will
take until the delegates assemble and give
the instructions received by them from
their local unions.
1t is further pointed out that the reports
are unreliable because the writer has erred
in his knowledge of mining districts. The
reports state that owners declare they can
not afford to continue last years scale OF
wages and that their SO, 900 employees will be
obliged to accept reduction. According TO
the statistics OF the United Mine Workers,
there are 10000 employees instead OF $3.50
in the districts above mentioned
The convention, which will open in In
dianapolis on the second Monday in JAN
uary, 1904, will decide the wage scale for
the ensuing year. Thomas Lewis, in speak
ing of the reports of the Chicago paper,
said last night: I'm regard to the state
ments that the United Mine Workers will
demand 10 per cent increase in wages, no
one is able at this time to predict what de-
mands the miners will make. There are
over 1900 local unions in the organization,
from which ii is expected 1000 delegates
will attend the annual convention in In
dianapolis. Those delegates will bring with
them the wishes and desires of their con-
stituents in the form of resolutions Those
resolutions will no doubt represent various
demands in regard to wages and conditions
of employment and no one is able at this
time to say what demands will be made by
the convention. One thing is certain, when
the delegates assemble in Indianapolis next
month they will legislate to protect their
interests, to improve their condition and to
strengthen their organization so that its
power and influence can be felt in greater
degree than ever"

Football Cured Insanity.
Chicago Journal.

chicago JOURNAL.
Enthusiasm aroused at a football game
accomplished for an aged woman patient
at Dunning what ten years of treatment
failed to do. From the time she was en-
tered at the asylum the woman never
spoke, refusing to even answer questions of
her attendants. She sat in her chair day
after day, with stopped shoulders and
bowed head. Her eyes were generally half
closed and she was apparently sleeping her
life away. Physicians had given up all
hope of breaking her melancholic state
The awakening came two weeks ago at
a football game between the st. Vincent
College and Oak Park High School teams.
Superintendent Podstata favors allowing
the patients to witness football game or
dance occasionally, believing such amuse-
ment is beneficial to them. Along with
scores of crippled men and deaf and dumb
women the silent patients chair was ar
ranged so the occupant could scan the
one and there was much cheering. Slowly
but surely change came over the mel
ancholy woman. She Strengthened her
shoulders. raised her head and astonished
the crippled woman sitting beside her by
saying:
what degree of excitement attends this
contest?'
Since then she has talked almost con-
tinually, the dullness in her eyes has van
ished and tinge of rudy pink has begun
to appear in her sallow cheeks.

JUDGE NOW HAS THE CASE
FATE OF AN ESTATE VALUED AT

Judge Carter Takes the Osgood Estate
Case Under NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Company Sued-Court Cases.
The argument in the famous stanley-os-

The argument in the famous Stanley-Os-
good case. involving 600 estate. which
has occupied the attention of Judge Carter
since Monday morning, was submitted to
the judge yesterday afternoon for his de-
eision. Each side will submit a brief and
the defense win submit reply brief Owing
to the points involved, as presented by some
of the ablest members of the Marion county
bar, 1T is not expected that decision will
be handed down for two or three weeks and
then it will be in the nature of a special
finding.
From the facts as presented to the court.
1T is evident that it was the intention of the
late Mason j. Osgood to leave his adopted
daughter his vast estate, but the defense,
in its argument, presented a strong point
to the effect that the adoption in order to
be legal, must be granted upon a verified
petition for adoption as required by the
statute. In this case, Mr.. Hollett said, the
adoption was granted by Judge Julian. Of
the Circuit Court, on Sept. s. 1877. and two
days later the verified petition was pre-
sented to the court and Mr.. Hollett claimed
that this would invalidate the adoption.
Another question which Judge Carter must
weigh is whether Mrs. Stanley acquired a
residence in this county within the mean
ing of the statute prior to the adoption pro-
ceedings in 1877. If he holds that no resi-
dence had been acquired in this county, then
the Judgment Of the Circuit Court will be
invalid, and Mrs. Stanley will lose the prop
erty, while Charles w. Osgood and his sis
ter, Mrs. Roxanna o. Minis, will each sue
ced to one-half interest in the estate.

CORN WILL BE KING
IN INDIANA EXHIBIT.
Chairman stevens, of the Worlds Fair
Agricultural Committee, Feels
Encouraged.

Chairman Stevens. of the committee on
agriculture of the worlds fair commission
from Indiana. believes that the corn exhibit
to be displayed by this State will attract as
much or more attention than any other
part of Indiana's exhibit. Mr.. Stevens Is
here attending the meetings of the Horti-
cultural Society as president.
He said last night he was satisfied that
Clore & Overstreet. who are to arrange the
exhibit, will make creditable one. In
diana is to have $500 feet of space for its
special corn exhibit and 1900 feet for its
general agricultural exhibit.
In the. center of the space allotted to the
corn exhibit, will be the massive figure of
a man constructed with different colors of
corn. The figure will be known as the
Corn King" About the outer edge of the
space will be arranged glass cases in
which the choicest exhibits of corn will be
displayed. There will be festoons Of corn
about the figure and here and there will be
pictures made of colored corn. AT each of
the four corners of the space will be a mon
ument of an Indiana governor constructed
of corn The three farmer governors--Will-
Jams, Mount and Matthews-and Governor
Durbin will be represented.

SCOT Running Records.
Atlanta Journal.

SCOT from the chimneys in the State
Capitol Is spelling and destroying the val
liable records in the archives of the secre-
tary of state, and unless something is done
In very short time To stop the destruction
the old-time records and papers, which are
highly priced and which are very valuable
to Georgia, will be absolutely worthless.
For some time past when the wind blows
strong pecks and pecks of SCOT come down
State Cook, Assistant Secretary Goode Price
and Clerk Johnston. This SCOT flies in all
directions and lands in between the records
which are packed away in the record room,
and settles on all the books and papers
which are compelled, under the circum-
stances. TO be exposed.
Secretary of State Cook has appealed on
several occasions TO have the chimneys
fixed. New fiues are needed, IL is said. Sew
eral times galvanized iron fiues have been
erected, but they lasted but a short time
and now the SCOT comes down in greater
quantities than ever.
Not only does the SCOT come down in the
secretary Of states office, but nearly every
office in the building has the same COM
papers are soiled. and at times desks are
covered almost half an inch thick with the
siftings from the chimneys.
In fact the chimneys in the Capitol are
In bad shape. They need repairing badly
The State officials have complained for some
time of being required to breathe the SCOT
all day long. On occasions they have been
made III by II. Now. however. since the rec
ords OF the State are being destroyed and
new carpets which were laid some time ago,
are being ruined, II Is believed that the
matter will be taken up at once and some
thing done To remedy the evfl which has
existed for 50 long time.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS
AND THE wOODwORKERs.
They VIII Meet Later to Discuss I'm
portant Matters That Affect the
Organizations.

On account of the absence OF President
William Huber from the city, the confer
ence between the representatives OF the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners and the Amalgamated Wood
workers. which was set for yester-
day, was postponed until the latter
part of next week The conference will
look to an understanding and a correct in
depreciation Of the decision handed down by
the American Federation of Labor in regard
TO the jurisdiction of the two unions over
millhands. The decision was to the effect
that the woodworkers have jurisdiction
over the mill laborers, but the two unions
wish to hold a conference and settle upon
some clear line of demarkation. The date
of the conference has not been fully decided
upon as President Huber does not know
when he will return from Buffalo. The con-
ference will be held in Indianapolis, prob
ably at the carpenters headquarters. Inc
Amalgamated WoodworkerS Will be repre-
sented by Thomas /. Kidd, president, and
Dennis Mulcahey, secretary-treasurer OK

represented by President Huber and sec
rotary Frank Duffy.
President Huber, of the carpenters, is now
in Buffalo, where he will attend meeting
of the committee composed of delegates
from the Amalgamated Society or Carpen-
tiers and the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, which has taken steps TO bring
about the amalgamation OF the two organl-
cations. The meeting is TO discuss the de-
cision handed down by Adolph Strausser.
The decision has been accepted by the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, but there are certain clauses OF 1T
which the Amalgamated Society of Carpen-
tiers wish altered. Mr.. Strausser has said
he is willing TO make such changes as both
unions desire. There is no doubt whatever
that the alliance of the two unions VIII be
brought about as both are in favor of the
amalgamation and only desire to make a
few minor changes in the decision. The
Amalgamated Society of Carpenters is the
big labor union of England with headquar-
tiers in Manchester. 1t has many branches
in this country and the amalgamation will
affect these local unions only. The meet
ing in Buffalo will be held to-day.

FINE EXHIBIT OF FRUIT
ANNUAL MEETING OF INDIANA
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
President w. w. stevens Delivers an
Address-Prof. Troops Effort to Rid
State OF Injurious Insects.

The Indiana Horticultural Society is
holding it's forty-third annual meeting at
the Statehouse. Sessions were held yester-
day afternoon and last night. A fine ex-
hibit of fruit is being shown. There are inn
mense apples and pears OF winter varieties
from different parts Of the State. Prof.
James Troop, of Purdue University. has two
lemons on exhibition which he grew at the
Purdue experimental station. Each weighs
one pound and half. Prizes are offered
for the best exhibits.
The opening session was called to order at
100 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the
president, Warder w. Stevens, who deliv-
cred his annual address. In his remarks, he
recommended the passage of a uniform
package law which would provide a stand
ard size for fruit barrels and boxes. He
spoke of the natural advantages in Indiana
for fruit raising and deplored the scarcity
of up-to-date fruit growers in this State.
Prof. James Troop, State entomologist
read report which he has prepared for
the Governor. to the society. The work Of
his office for the past year has been con-
fined particularly to the inspection of nur-
series and 152 were visited. The depart
ment is trying to accomplish two things-to
inspect all nurseries In the State and If
possible keep them free from dangerously
injurious insects and plant diseases. Prof.
Troop believes that one of the greatest
needs of the day so far American fruit
interests are concerned, Is national legisla-
ton looking to the enactment of uniform
inspection laws, and he thinks these laws
should apply, not only to imports but to ex-
ports as well. Such inspection, Prof Troop
says, would prevent In a measure the carry
diseases from

outbreaks OF other Injurious species were

localities.
