MASSACHUSETTS FOR HEARST.

Special dispatch to the AGITAToR.
NEW YORK, April 15.-Nine out of the four
teen congressional districts of Massachusetts
have been carried for Hearst. Unit rule will
prevail, and full delegation will be for him.
Yesterday, we received the following dispatch:
NEW YORK, April I4.-The Evening Mail
printed tonight an expose of the secret visit by
August Belmont to Alton B. Parker to cary
the latter "comfort from Wall street.'' The
Mail says: "August Belmont, banker and
railroad man, with elaborate attempts to con-
ceal his destination, made pilgrimage to the
home of Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, at ESQ
pus. The schedules of the West Shore road
were upset to prevent Mr.. Belmonts departure
tor Esopus becoming known to this city. The
fuancier put himself to no little inconvenience
so that the Tammany opponents of the Judge
should not get wind of the conference. Tx
Senator David B. Hill, candidate, drove TO the
little railroad station to personally welcome
Mr. Belmont, and sat in driving rain in a
victoria, awaiting his guests arrival. The
two drove off together to Rosemont, where the
Wall street man was the guest of the Chief
Judge of the conrt of appeals"

Supreme Court
Decides For Hearst
The Trust Must Produce Its Con.
tracts and Show Its Books. Say
Eight Of the Nine Justices Of the
Court.

Washington, d. C.-The Hearst suit
has been won and the coal trust beat
en-. BY its decision against the trust
the United States supreme court has
decided that there Is limit TO the
power of the trusts, great and power
full though they be. and the law Of the
land is still mightier.
The decision of this same court i'll
tue Northern merger case was con;
sidered staggering blow to one kind
of trusts, but the decision Of the court,
rendered as result Of Representative
William Randolph HearSt's suit against
the coal trust, sounded the death knell
Of every predatory trust in the country,
II means that the interstate con-
merce commission can compel trust
magnates to bring out their books for
inspection and disclose their unlawful
methods for doing business.
1t means that the millionaires of the
criminal trusts can be compelled by
the commission to make confessions
which will bring them under the opera
ton Of the Sherman antitrust act.
1t means that the fence of technical.
tiles behind which the trusts have been
hiding has been broken down,
1t means that Attorney General
Knox has been deprived of the last
shred of pretended excuse for not act
ing upon evidence Of the coal trusts
guilt with which lie was furnished by
Mr.. Hearst year and n half ago,
which evidence will now be furnished
10 him again by Baer. Truesdale and
other managers of the coal carrying
roads when they unwilingly remount
the witness stand and hand to the In
terstate commerce commission the con-
tracts which they so desperately and
unsuccessfu!ly endeayored to shield
from view.
If in the face Of the supreme courts
decision and this evidence President
Roosevelt shall permit his attorney
general to abstain from doing his
sworn duty it will be for one of the
two reasons plain to the whole cOun-
try:
First. that the administration Is
afraid to offend the coal trust and its
allies in presidential year; or.
Second, that Mr.. Roosevelt cannot
bring himself to be ungrateful to the
coal trust, which in 1900 yielded to the
demands of the miners in order to pre-
vent the strike from spreading to West
Virginia, Indiana. Illinois and Ohio
and arraying the labor vote of the ma
ton against the Republican national
ticket
Now that the supreme court has sus'
tanned the rights Of the interstate com
merce commission to prosecute the in
vestigatlon begun on the petition OF
Representative Hearst nothing can
save the coal trust from swift destruc-
ton except the defiant refusal OF the
attorney general Of the United States
to apply the laws Of the United States
to proved extortlonists and criminals.
The decision Of the supreme court
almost took away the breath of all
Washington. Representative William
r. Hearsts victory over the coal trust
was the only. topic of discussion.

THERE was one woman delegate in the Dem
ocratic convention at Wichita, aud the report
was sent out that she was the first woman dele
gate in the state to attend political convention.
to nearly every state convention that has been
held in Kansas. Anderson county Populists
have sent woman delegates to state conventions
at various times. AS far back as 1888, Mrs.
Anna Champe attended the national Prohibition
convention at Indianapolis. However, the
Democratic claim that that party is mort of
woman-sufrage party than the Republican
party may be true.

Ouners of Fashionable London.

Four peers own the greater part OF
the West End Of London. They are
the three Dukes Of Portland, Bedford
and Westminster, and Lord Portman.
The Duke of Bedford draws an income
of $4,000 a year from the tolls OF
Coyent Garden Market, and every or
ange, every potato, every bunch OF
flowers which passes through the mar
ket contributes to his income. The
Duke has 11S acres of the metropolis.
The Duke of Portland has 300 acres,
covered with great shops and houses,
and the Duke of Westminster has sold
land for building on at f6 los. per foot.
Lord Salisbury owns part of the
Strand, including the land on which
the Hotel Cecil and the Savoy Theatre
stand. and the Duke of Norfolk is

man should eliminate such things as
are harmful to him-when elimination
ceases life ceases-and these waste
products are in themselves poisonous
and dangerous to health if we take
them again into our systems.
In expired air the amount of carbon
dioxide-an inert, suffocating gas-is
increased, and the amount of oxygen
is proportionately diminished. Man
cannot live in an atmosphere in which
the oxygen is too rare; or, in other
words. too highly diluted with nitro
gen. Nitrogen is not poisonous, but il
cannot sustain life, and it acts as Q di

WORDS OF WISDOM;

Hurried work is usually slighted.
Satan is always finding "short cuts"
Doing the hard thing first makes the
day easier.
Peace is rarely denied to the peace
ful.-Schiller.
He'll is full of good meanings and
wishipgs.-Herbert
God hath yoked to guilt her pale
tormentor, misery.-Bryant.
Poverty wants some things, luxury
many, avarice, all things.-Cowley.
Nothing is further than the earth
from heaven; nothing is nearer to
heaven than earth.-Hare.
It isn't that men are smarter than
women, but that women have been
made to believe that they are.
Borrowed thoughts, like borrowed
money, only show the poverty of the
borrower.-Lady Blessington.
There never was any heart truly

The heart of a wise man should re-

THE AIR We BREATHE.
Diagrams Illustrating the Necessity Of
Ventilation. ~"

Ventilation.
In an article on "Why We Need Ven
tilation," in the Western Architect
Norris -. Ebersole says: I'm its nat
ural state, whether from the equator
or the poles, the composition OF air Is
almost invariable. with the exception
of the amount. of wafer vapor. Man
was made to exist in this envelope OF
air surrounding the earth, and, there
fore. his anatomy is affected one way
or the other according to the compost
ton of the air he breathes. The life
giving anG vital principle of air IS
oxygen. This element revives. resusci-
tates, sustains and feeds. and the
breathing organs are so minutely and
beautifully proportioned that the least
change or diminution Of this element
in the air inhaled is Immediately evil
denced by a feeling Of discomfort or
nausea-and unmistakaLle sign that
something is wrong. (
In these days, when so much Of our
lives is spent indoors, some provision
must be made that the air we con-
stantly breathe is not lacking in any
of it's healthful. natural qualities. Ex-
pired air differs from inspired air by
lust so much harmful ingredients as
is the purpose of nature to eliminate

Durability of Liquid Air.

An experiment for testing the dura'
bility of liquid air has been made be-
tween Berlin and Geneva. One morn
ing two quarts of liquid air We're de-
Hvered to the railroad at Berlin,
packed in a manner specially adapted
for this purpose, for transportation
to Geneva. The shipment arrived in
Geneva in five days, and after an ad'
ditional delay of half a day it was de-
livered to the chemical laboratory OF
the University of Geneva. The glass
vessel in which the liquid air was
sent still contained one-fourth OF a
quart thereof, which was at once eA'
perimented with.

over the apparatus. can be heard any
where in large room.
The microphone. like the telephone,
is an electrical instrument, but the
word microphone means merely an IN
strument which enables one to hear
feeble sounds, and so the simple ap-
paratus to be described may be called
a mlcrophone, though it has nothing to
do with electricity. When water is
sues from a small oritice it forms a
continuous, clear stream for a little
distance and then breaks into drops
which fall at pretty nearly equal IN
tervals. But the interval between the
drops depends on what vibrating bod
les may be in the neighborhood, as
may be shown by the following pretty
experiment:
Connect one end Of rubber tube
with the water faucet or with a vessel
of water on shelf and in the other
end insert a glass madeleine dropper.
Hold the glass tube, pointing down
ward, over vertical metal tube, the
upper end Of which is covered with
sheet rubber tightly stretched. Hold
the tube at such a height that the
stream just fails to break into sep
arate drops before it strikes the rub
Der.
Now if you hold watch near the
glass tube from which the stream
issues the sound made by the water in
falling on the rubber will keep time
with the ticking of the watch and SO
magnify it. The effect will be very
much increased if a paper or tin fun
mel is connected with the metal tube
nc shown in the illustration.

ADJUSTABLE BLACKBOARD.
Readily Made to Meet All Emergencies
of the Schoolroom.

An ingenious German inventor has
devised blackboard that mechanical
|ly is perfectly adapted to all the emer-
gencies of schoolroom use resulting
from a great variety Of work by indl-
viduals of considerable difference in
stature. The board can be. adjusted
and fixed at any desired angle and
raised or lowered vertically in slotted
arms, or secured so as to permit OF
horizontal use, or it may be reversed
as the service may require. The chief
merit of the combination, however, is
that the mechanism by which the num-
erous adjustments are made possible is
simple enough to be comprehended by
