Crude Instrunrent Buiit In 1878 In
vented By s Chicago Nan.
Chicago is. claimed as the birthplace
Of the Telephone At Michigan aud
Jackson bouleyarJLS. on the site of the
present Stratford hotel. in the old
Gardner House. the first telephone was
used in 1SI.5.
The instrument was the invention Of
Henry C.. Strong.-a iourneyman printer
and a veteran of the civil war, who
had served in the Ninety Illinois.
Before the war lie had learned teleg-
raphy in New York city. 1t was dur
ing the war that the possibility of us
ing closed circuit ON Morse instru-
ment and transmitting sounds of the
human voice by it occurred to him.
AS early as 1872 he intesested the
chaplain OF the regiment. Rev. c. NJ.
Barnes, in his theory.
In 1910 he set up the instrument.
which he called ''the Goodyear single
coil telegraph sOunder." in the rooms
of the HOwser School of Telegraphy.
in the Gardner House. To the amaze
ment OF DR.. and Mrs. 6. W. HOwser,
who were present at the time. Strong
succeeded in securing communication
with station he had established at the.
stockyards.
In May. 1877, Strong patented his
model. which consisted Of an electric
speaking telephone. a permanent mag
net in a coil OF insulated wire with
metal diaphragm. In the meantime. in
1876, the Eel company had secured a
patent en- an instrument which had
been invented in the same year.
Strong's patent infringed theirs in no
way, as the principle on which the Bell
telephone operated involved the use Of
an electrO-magnet, while the Strong in
strument was connected with perlna-
nent magnet
In September 1877, there was a fire
in the United States patent office. At
some time between May and Septem-
ber the Strong model disappeared. In
December, 1877. the Bell Telephone
company put in commercial use a model
which bears a striking resemblance to
the Strong.
The case of the Strong patent. vest
ed in the Atlantic and Western Tele-
phone company, against the Bell COM
pany is now pending in the United
States circuit court. Ossian Cameron,
the attorney who had charge Of the
Strong interests, is certain that he will
prove the priority of the Strong pat
ent. In the preliminary hearing before
Judge Kohlsaat Strong asserted that
he was not only the first to use the
closed circuit. but that he also was the
first one to discover the possible use
of wireless telegraphy.
Chicago is still the home of the
predecessor of Bell and MarcOni. Mr..
Strong resides at 9G0 North Albany

Complaints are being made in Paris
of the increase in mendicity, and a
number Of the leading business men in
the main thorOughfares have ap-
preached the police authorities on this
matter. 1t is high time that the nui-
sance were abated. When in a pOpu-
lous thoroughfare like the Avenue de
rOpera, the Rue de la Paix or the
Rue Royale a man sits down In the
middle Of the pavement, stretching his
legs out as wide as possible and caus-
ing pedestrians no little trouble to pass
him, or when a woman hangs on to
the door Of a carriage, refusing to let
go her hold until something is given
her, it more resembles demanding
backsheesh than asking for charity.
OF course, the beggars who do this are
old hands, professionals dead to sense
Of shame, and it is to be regretted that
tender hearted people ever open their
hearts and their purses to them. How
ever, spurred on by the influential
Of the leading thorough
fares, the police will undoubtedly take
action, and one unpleasant
ness viii be removed from the streets

While various members Of the Presby-
teriah family are cropping after union.
the Baptlsts have achieved It. Since
1S45 the Baptist denomination has
been divided into north and south.
Since the issue OF slavery, on which
they divided, has passed away they
have been drawing together This year,
after sixty years of division, they have
united and without a dissentient vote
effected a permanent organization, rep
resentative OF all the churches, north
and south. II will be known as the
General Convention Of Baptists Of North
America, for 1t hopes to include the
churches of Canada as well as Of the
United States. While without legls-
lStive functions, it will have potent ad-
visory influence. 1t will meet trl-
ennially. This union makes the Baptist
church the largest single denomination
of Christians in our country. It num-
bers 5,OO0O0O communicates and about
20,O00,000 adherents.

PEACE coMPAcTs.
Some of the Most Important Treaties
In Modern History.

Some of the Most Important Treaties
In Modern History.
If Russians and japanese really ne
gotiate their peace agreement at Wash
ington the treaty will be known as the
treaty Of Washington" Among the
most important Of the worlds treaties
are the following: The treaty of West
phalia, 164S, which ended the Thirty
Years war The peace of the Pyrenees,
1863, definitely marked the fall of
Spain from its position as the leader of
Europe. A historian says: when Spain
signed with France the peace Of the
Pyrenees she signed away with it the
last remnant of the supremacy she had
exercised in Europe. France, the vic
tor, took the place Of Spain in the cOun-
ellis of the continent" By the peace Of
Augsburg, 1555. religious freedom was
assured to Germany and the wars be-
tween PrOtestants and Catholics came
to an end. The treaty Sf Utrecht in
1713 terminated the war of the Spanish
succession.
A number of the most important trea-
ties in modern history are known as
the treaties of Paris. They are six in
number and bear the dates of 1853.
1TS3, 1914, 1915. 1856 and 1898. The
first of the series marked the end of the
Seven Years war. Among other things
it provided for the cession to Great
Britain of Canada and the region east
of the Mississippi river. The treaty of
Paris, Sept 3, 1888, between Great
Britain and the United States marked
the close of the American Revolution
and recognized the independence Of the
colonies. The aggressions of France
under Napoleon found their conclusion
in the treaties of Paris Of 1914 and
1915, by the second Of which France
was compelled to pay an indemnity to
the allies amounting in all to near
$3OOOOO,0O0.
In 1856 a treaty Of Paris was con-
cluded among the powers at the close
of the Crimean war. 1t provided that
the Black sea should be neutralized and
that it should be thrown open to the
merchant marine Of every nation. The
treaty of Paris of Dec. 10, 1898, termi-
mated the Spanish-American war. Spain
relinquished its sovereignty in Cuba
and ceded Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippines to the United States. For
the Philippines it received $20,000,000.
Other important treaties were that Of
Berlin, settling the eastern question,
1873, and FrankfOrt-on-the-M Main, May
10, 1871, securing peace between
France and Germany.
Latin was formerly the language
used in treaties, but treaties to which
several European powers are parties
are now generally drawn up in
French, the use of which became com
mon in the time of Louis XIV, but the
final act Of the congress of Vienna,
1915. contains a protest against the
use Of this language being obligatory.
A great European treaty usually be
gins, 'In the name Of the Most Holy
and Indivisible Trinity" or if the sui
tan of Turkey is party, I'm the name
of Almighty GOd."-Chicago News.

Father John P. Chidwick, who was
chaplain Of the Maine at the time of
her destruction in Havana harbor and
who has now returned to his flock in
New York city, is a divine with a keen
sense of humOr. The Little Father
as he was affectionateIy known on the
Maine, carried in one of the big insur-
ance companies Of this city the largest
insurance carried by any officer in the
navy. 1t was directly after the Maine
disaster that Father Chidwick received
from the company a letter which read:
When issuing your policy we were not
aware Of the hazardous nature OF your
calling and therefore request that you
will return to us your policy that we may
insert the extra hazardous" clause
Congratulating you on your escape. we
are, yours. etc.
Father Chidwick wrote this reply:
As your agent insured me in the ward
room of the Maine. he must have known
the nature OF my calling. and therefore
refuse to send you back my policy.

NEW HOTEL BUILDING.
Work to Commence in a Few Days
on ]. N. Downing's New Hotel
Cement Blocks to be Used.

J. N. Downing has let the con-
tract for the construction of mis- new
hotel, the foundation of which was
put in two years ago. The building
will be constructed of hollow cement
blocks, Tueller Bros. Of Paris, hav-
ing the contract for laying them,
while f. w. Hurst of Paris, will do
the carpenter work.
The building will be only two
stories, but so constructed that the
third story can be added at any time
in the future that it is needed. Only
the second story OF the new build
lsg will be used for hotel purposes,
and it will be connected with the
present Hotel Burgoyue from the
second story. There will be le bed
rooms in the new building, four of
which will be fitted with bath.
The lower story will contain two
business fOOmS-One 2SXSO and the
other one 22xSO. The plans provide
that at any time Mr.. Downing de
slres to use the lower floor for hotel
purposes, the two store rooms can
be easily converted into dining
room, office, kitchen, etc. by putting
in the necessary partitions. Both
the store rooms have been spoken
for and will be occupied as soon as
finished.
The building will be fitted
throughout for water so that con-
nection can be made with the mains
as soon as a water system is put in
here.
The body of the building will be
laid with blocks of gray sandstone
color, and the trimmings will be of
blocks initiating red stone. 1t will
require 5000 of the cement blocks
for the building, which will be the
handsomest structure in the city.

No Bids Were Received.

Contrary to the expectations Of
the directors OF the Montpelier IT.
rigation district, no bids were re-
ceived last Monday for the purchase
Of the $65, 900 bond issue, neither
were there any bids received for The
construction of the canal. The
reason assigned for this by the
directors is the issuance of circular
letter, signed by one l.. l.. Num-,
in which are set forth mum Der of
false and misleading statements.
This letter was undoubtedly sent to
all the leading bond buying firms
and contractors in the country, and
naturally resulted in ''queering"
them against purchasing the bonds
or any portion of them.
A copy of this letter was not re-
ceiyed by the directors in time for
them to refute the statements and
get their reply into the hands of
bond buyers before last Monday.
Consequently the directors were "up
against ito and could do nothing
but wait until after the time set for
opening the bids to make their re-
ply to the letter.
At meeting Of the directors held
last Monday afternoon, it was de-
cided to sell the bonds at private
sale, which they are confident they
will have no trouble in doing. They
are also confident that the construc
ton of the canal will not be long
delayed by the failure to receive
bids for the bonds and construction.
The directors also ordered the en-
gineer to engage 90 men and teams
and to place them doing such work
as he might direct.
The directors also decided to ad-
vertise for bids for the balance of
the bond issue authorized.
