Bell:
"My instrument consisted Of a piece
Of mahogany board of about the size
and shape Of fatiron. It had ham
die upon the top, and it's bottom was
covered with green cloth: Inside the
board was an electric coil, so made
that when it was moved over anything
Of metallic substance it would buzz.
The instrument afterward proved to be
of great value for this purpose in hos
pitfalls, altho it failed in connection with
President Garfield. We took the ma.
chine to the White House and tried
it upon the president. To our sur
prise the machine began to buzz when.
ever it came near him. According to
it, he was full of lead. A day or two
later came to the conclusion that there
must have been something metallic
about the bed upon which President
Garfield was lying. inquired, and
learned that his mattress was resting
on wire springs, and it was the steel
wire that made the machine buzz"

She is a stanch admirer of the old
Dutch. school and the few paintings

That is why the small birds usually

For soon you would yourself suggest
What I had from the first suggested.
You plumed yourself with happiest air
To think you settled every question,
And issued orders, unaware
That each Of them was my suggestion.

To prOlOng beyond 1908 the control

most gigantic political folly in Amer

the hands of the very enemies against
whom late reforms have been design

President and the Court.

New York Post: With President
Roosevelt il has long since passed the
point of asking. Suppose Bryan had
done such a thing?" Still. people have
rot wholly forgotten the campaign of
1896. and the use that was then made
of Mr. Bryan's language derogatOry 10
the judiciary Preserve the courts
from meddling by the executive" was
then the republican cry. So in 1898
the independence and immunity of an
upright judge was the frequent theme
OF Mr.. Roosevelts campaign speeches;
and it was the issue on Judge DAILY
which Croker stupidity raised that did
more than any other one thing to elect
Roosevelt governor of New York.
Hence ii is complete and unwelcome
change to find him assuming the angry
and hectoring attitude of yesterdays
message. Il can hardly believe that
the ruling of Judge Humphrey will be
followed by other judges" Why did
the president say that? Was it to
give his valuable opinion on a point of
law? Or is there a threat lurking in
the words?
One has merely TO recall the fact that
federal judges are dependent upon the
president for promotion, in case of va
cancy occurring. to see how broad is
the hint given them that they had bet
ter agree with the president if they
wish to find favor. We do not assert
hat such was the intended meaning of
Mr. RoOsevelt's language; but it is at
least positive inference. 1t would
certainly have been drawn from a
similar loose utterance by Mr.. BRYAN
