PACIFIC CABLE COMPLETED.
1t is rlore Than 1000 Miles Long and
Weighs Over 37,ooo,ooo Pounds.

The American Pacific cable stretch
inc under the seas from San Fran
cisco to the Philippine Islands was
completed on the Fourth OF July.
President Roosevelt flashed mes
sage across the Pacific to Governor
TAFT at Manila and the New York
Herald sent one around the world to
itself. The Herald message was sent
Westward over the continent and the
Pacific Ocean and was received iii the
Herald office fourteen minutes later
from London, having made the cir
cult OF the entire planet.
Work on the cable was begun in
December, 1901. The magnitude OF
the task is an impressive one. There
were four great ocean stretches III the
route: From San Francisco to Ha-
waii, 2,27G miles; Hawaii to Midway
Island, 1,254 miles; Midway Island
to Guam, 2,593 miles; Guam to
Luzon. |, 400 miles. The average
depth OF the sea along the route is
three miles. And yet the stupendOus
task of laying the cable along these
7,G13 miles of billowy ocean, with
the chances OF mishap, accidents and
storms, was accomplished i'll eighteen
months,
The new Pacific cable is built espe-
cially to stand the enormous strain
Of its own weight under such cOndi-
tions rs those attending its laying
and the wear OF years i'll its ocean
resting place. In the center is a
twelve-wire stand copper core, COW
cred with heavy gutta percha insula-
ton.
Wrapped about this are eight plies
OF manila and asphalt, which i'll turn
are covered by the armor OF % 12-
gauge galvanized steel wires. Over
all is Il second wrapping OF manila
and covering OF asphalt, making Il
cable only seven-eights OF an inch
in diameter over ALL It's total length
is $500 nautical miles.
The quantities OF material used in
building the cable follow:
Iron and steel wires, 10000, 900
>pOunds.
Jute yarn. 2,O1O,OO0 pounds.
Preservative tapes. 100000

We protest against that crime

But the parties to that lynching have

We charge the wrong, however, at

Here is Il story condensed from
HaTper's Weekly:
There is now at large in the State of
Delaware and enjoying freedom. Il negro
named Neal, who some years ago com
mitted Il criminal assault on a white wo-
man and then attempted to hide that
crime by numbering the woman. Anthony
higgins, formerly United States Senator
and now a leading Republican politician
of Delaware, was Meals counsel and
managed to obtain his freedom and
escape from any kind OF punishment for
his double crime on a technicality, after
his client had been three times sentenced
to death.
Harper'S Weekly gives the facts
more in detail and declares that but
for the memory of Meals case, the
negro White would not have been
burned at the stake at Wilmington
the other week The law $ delays are
responsible for much of the lynch law
i'll the country, for the people have a

OBITUARY..

Another bright home has been made
sad; another fond fathers JOY has been
bEghted; an affectiOnate mothers heart
has been made to bleed because OF the
visitation of the death angel On Satur-
day evening, June 27, 1903, little Hope
Spencer, infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
\. W. Duke, passed from earth into the
portals of everlasting peace and happi-
ness. She had suffered intensely for four
weeks. at first with something like bron-
chitis, then with meningitis which caused
her death.
During her short sojourn OF seven
months here upon earth, she had closely
entwined her precious life around the
hearts of the fond parents and it seemed
hard for them to giveu the darling one
yet they were comforted by feeling and
knowing that little Hope was safe in the
arms OF Jesus, where pain and sickness. can
never enter, and that she is now waiting
to welcome them into the haven of eter-
nal bliss.
There's pair of little hands
Laid to rest forever more.
There's pair OF dimpled cheeks,
Whose rich blossoming is DER
There's another bud removed.
Ere it felt the blight of sin;
Through the door the angels make.
Darling baby has passed in.
She has reached the golden shore
Through the river cold and deep:
Angels bore her safely there.
