Blackburn one day invited Secretary
Shaw and Vice President Fairbanks,
who was then senator, to have some
thing. When Shaw was aslel what he
would take, he replied:

Blackburn then turned to Fairbanks
and said:

As a sample of the stinging language
Blackburn sometimes uses may be
cited his characterization of Il western
judge whom he had intro luccd to
President Cleveland late in tn cam
paigu of lSSS, After this judge re-
turned home he gave out an interview
In which he profcSSed to quote the
president as having given up the elcc-
tion because of the treachcry of Sen
ator I'M of New York, Mayor Hewitt
and others. Blackburn characterized
the whole statement as false and
wound up his sizzling roast in this
fashion:

WORK FOR THE SCIENTISTS
Mach Remains &c Be Done &c Bring
Wirslsss Tslsphony 70 Pitch
q Perfection.

Mirlcss telepbomng has been
making steady progress of late, al
though its achievements are still far
behind those Of wirelcSs ~tclography.
The range Of practicable wireless
telephony Is as yet only ten miles
or 50
One reason for this, saws the Re
view Of Reviews, is the feebleness of
the electric currents used in tele-
phonic conversation over wires as
cOmpared with those that are capable
Of being used in te~legraphing either
with or without wires.
Telephone conversation has never
yet been successfully carried to a dis
lance Of 100 miles of submarine
cable under the ocean. The limiting
telephone range over such cables has
been about 60 miles. Consequently
wireless telephony does not have to
be carried to many times its present
range in order to beat wire telephony
on submarine cables.
The conditions are, however, very
different over land. Wire telephony
is commercially practised up to dis
tonces of 1900 miles, and is capable
Of being extended by sufficient ex-
penditure of money on the wires to
$500 miles, or even more.
Wireless telephony has therefore
to be vastly extended in range in or
der to beat the record of wire tele-
phOny over land.

WHEN ETIQUETTE CLASH.

The etiquette of hat raising in
Germany is one of those things
which may betray the foreigner
into Rnintentional rudeness through
sheer Ignorance. A correspondent
Of the London Chronicle knows of
a German lady who was puzzled and
hurt because some Englishmen
whom she had met before did not
raise their hats to her in the street,
until the explanation came that she
expected them to do it of their own
accord BY the German rule Instead
Of waiting for her to recognize them
FIRST by the English. These differ.
ences of national etiquette are great
pitfalls, A converse case was that
Of an Englishman staying in a Ger
man town who accompanied hi;
hosts wife to a concern. Walking
home, he gave her the inside of the
pavement, according to English
manners; but the host, who hap
pened to see this, was rendered
painfully suspicious by this unfa
miliar attention.

STRICT INTERPRETATION.

A number of small North Della

GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE.

If something cannot be done to re-
lieve the situation in regard to house
hold service, social life will be driven
to three conditions, says a writer in
the Waterman. Those families which
are able to pay large wages and keep
a number of servants sufficient to do
their household work without ex-
cessiyely long hours of labor will con-
tinue on that plan Of life. Families
which cannot pay the wages demand
ed and cannot afford more than one
servant will be obliged to attend to
their own homework or go to board
ing houses; or they will be driven to
the third alternative, which we be-
lieye offers the best solution of the
problem of living for families of
moderate means-the establishment
of cooperative kitchens.

LIFE's BEST SCHOOL.

Life's best school is living with
people. 1t is there we learn our best
lessons. Some one says, ut is bet
ter to live with others even at the
cost of considerable jarring and
friction than to live in undisturbed
quiet alone" 1t is not ideally the
easy way. j means Outlines hurts,
wrongs, injustices, many d wound
ing, many a headache, many a pang
1t requires self-forgetfulness, self
restraint, the giving up of ones
rights many times, the overlooking
of unkindness and thoughtlessnesses
the quiet enduring of things that il
would seem no one should be re,
quired to endure from another. But
it is best.-Forward.

ALIENS CANNOT
SUE IN U. S. COURTS
Judge Ewing Hands Down opin-
ion Far-Reaching In It's
Effect.

PITTsBURG. PA, March G,-Judsa
Nathaniel Ewing. of the United States
Circuit Court, filed an opinion to-day
to the effect that If non-residents ara
to enter suits In the future against
American companies. there will linya
to be further treaties made between
this and foreign countries. Mayer
Zciger, citizen of Henta, Hungary,
entered suit against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company for $4,000 damages.
as the result of the death of George
Zeiger, the sole support of the pl;tin-
tiff, who was killed In wreck on tl,a
Pennsylvania Railroad at Harrisburg
in 1905, in which score of persons
lost their lives. Judge Ewing said;
1--WE cannot legislate for persons be-
vond our jurisdiction. When the law
intends to concede to nonresident
aliens the right which our own citizens
! have under and by virtue of the act
| of April 2B, 1855, 1t win say so, We
| have number of statutes which en-
| pressly confer rights upon aliens, hut
| none which confers them by implca-
| tion or inference
| The court says that the courts OF
the United States cannot look after tho
interests of bther than it's own clti-
! 1ens. and the only way an alien can use
| oul courts is through IA treaty between
| this and the other countries which have
| never vet been made, covering Just
| such happenings as the one involved
| in the suit
