ficiently multifarious To keep an eneT-
getic man busy. He Is considered To
have unusual executive capacity, and
IN the growth OF the volume of bust
ness pertaining to The Islands over
which the flag Of the United States
floats numerous matters have been
turned over TO him.
Clarence Ransom Edwards is a ma
tive of Ohio ana was born at Cleveland
in 1sGU After his graduation from
West Point I'm 1883 he was commits
stoned second Lieutenant Of the Tween
ty-tbird infantry. ana his first impOr-

guard which protected the Temporary
tomb Of the late James \. Garfield.
lie kept watch over the remains Of
the dead president until their removal
IN 1856 To The splendid mausoieum
whore they now repOse.
In the Philippine campaign Colonel
Edwards made q brilliant record. he
participated ia a dozen battles Of more
or less Importance and on account Of
gallantry in action was repeatedly REQ
commended for brevets for as high rank
as that Of brigadier general Colonel
Edwards was a great favorite with
General Lawton. was with that brave
officer on the firing lire when he was
killed and escorted his remains to the
United States. LawtOn once said OF
Edwards THAT ''he soldiered all day IN
the face Of the enemy and conducted
executive duties as chief Of STAFF in
his tent all night for it seemed that
be believed Il soldier should never
sleep with "a task undCue." In 1900
Colonel Edwards became chief Of what
was then known a. the division Of in
sulsr affairs. In 1902 the Importance
OF this branch Of the war department
was increased by making il a bureau.

1uOAdS a. inventor, III
nOunced recently at his home In
Orange, \. J., that after two years Of
experimenting he is finally satisfied
with the merits of his new storage
battery and that he will at once be-
gin the erection of a factory to manu-
facture the cells on a large scale for
the trade, says the New York World.
This is the latest, and, while not the
greatest Of the wizards many inven-
tiOns, il Is an accomplishment for
which many electricians have been
striving many years.
The cell as now perfected Will drive
a two ton truck at rate OF thrifty
three miles an hour. with half the
weight of the old method.

livery wagon with its power al 5S per
cent Of the cost Of maintaining shorse
An ordinary automobile will run 100
miles under ordinary conditions with
out recharging. Under the most
favorable conditions $50 miles can be
covered at speed of tweney miles an
hour.
More than these facts have been
claimed for the cell by others. but 1t
was not until the other day that Mr.
Edison himself would even speculate
as 10 the possibilities Of his new inVen-
ton. The wizard has experimental

lead plates OF the original battery, II

The troubles in the battery / have

Mr.. Edison. They have been greatly
due TO the swelling of the nickel ele-
ment. / have succeeded In reducing
the weight of the battery from forty 10
fortyfive pounds per horse power. 1t
has taken time 10 find out what was
needed for this battery, because we
cannot look ahead and see Just what
such a thing is going TO do after we
have II sketched on paper. In the two
years ! have been experimenting we
have turned out some II, 600 cells of
the battery and have operated 100
auto vehicles.

problem for Touring vehicles That can
only be possible when more charging

Young Cooper Hewitt OF New York
has helped solve that problem with his
mercury rectifier, which takes the
place OF the old transformer and makes
ii possible to convert the alternating
currents used in small towns so az to
make them available for charging the
batteries.
with proper motor and wagon
equipment we can take our cells and

he has been suffering for several years.

Advocates of separate statehood or
the admission Of oklahoma and Indian
territories into the Union as separate
political divisions apparently have co.'s
centrated their efforts upon making Il
success of the constitutional cOnven-

says the Chicago Chronicle.
Separate statehood has lost the ma

formerly favored it now seeI>s to be
to frame a constitution for Indian Ter

prominent members of the five civiliz-
ed tribes to refute the belief that the
Indians are in reality opposed TO any
sort of statehood are believed to he re-
spOnsible for the great interest dis
played in the coming constitutional
convention.
The framing Of Il comprehensive
constitution for presentation to con-

will tend to change the opinion at
Washington that the Indians are not
yet ready for statehood and are not in
a sufficiently civilized condition to be
sent into the world without the shelter
Of the government wing. Chief Porter
has voiced this sentiment. as have all
the other chiefs of the Indian tribes.

Good Horse. GOOD Rider.

Judging from the following story
which Arthur J. Smythe tells in his
biography of William Terriss, it is evil
dent that the practice Of betting on
horse races was among the great dis
likes Of the popular actor.
When any one asked him what horse
be was going to back he would say:
I'm going to back little FLY I've
often backed before I've never won
anything on it; yet, strange to say, I've
never lost penny
"Oh, whatever horse is thatT' might
have been the inquiry.
"a little FLY called Common Sense,
ridden by Tommy Let 1t Alone" was
the invariable answer.-London Tele-
