First Message to Laurier.

Press and commercial service be-
tween Port Morien and Clifden, Ire
land, was begun by the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph COMPANY at
o'clock Thursday afternoon when a
message was dispatched from Pre-
meir Sir Wilfred Laurier, congralut-
ing England upon the establishment
OF the new means of communication
with the western world The initial
Marconigram from the east-a COM
munication from London TO a New
York newspaper-was filed Friday
morning.
Inventor Marconi has recalled all
invitations to his friends and news
paper men TO be presnt at he open
ing OF the service, on account of
the condition OF one of his experts,
Mr.. Henkey, who is dying.
The principle of the Marconi sys-
tenn involves the breaking up OF a
powerful electric current, setting up
vibrations, which, travelling at mar
velous speed, cause electrical distur-
Dances received by An instrument at
tuned to take in only. disturbances OF
certain length Though wireless
telegraphy. in practical tests, is more
than ten years old, its birth as vast
physical resource dates from Thurs
day The intermediary years have
marked a period of gradual develop
ment.
The first American tests were made
dnring the international yacht races
in 1899 between the Shamrock and
Columbia. The navy department also
tried the apparatus. After installing
his apparatus on nearly every great
transatlantic steamship, Marconi
turned his attention TO his ultimate
goal-over seas telegraphy. He sue
ceeded in sending his first etheric
wave from America to Europe IN
1901. but it was long before the sys-
tenn became dependable. The inven-
tor says he will next turn his at en-
ton to the Pacific.
With a series OF flashes that filled
the Marconi station with binding
light and boonrs that fairly rocked
the station William Marconi launch
ed the first commercial message by
wireless across the Atlantic ocean.
Scarcely had the sending instru-
ments ceased their work before the
operators were ready to receive the
answering words from the station at
Clifden. Ireland.

Cortelyou Cuts Of Deposits.

Secretary Cortelyou has discontin-
ued deposits OF government funds in
several western and southern cities
whose banks have asked such de,Dos-
Its to meet the demand for funds to
move the crops This is done III in
stances where the crops which these
cities are supposed to provide for
moving are being held for higher
prices.
Such is the case throughout the
South, where the cotton growers
have been urged to store their c ,tton
crop and await higher prices. 1t IS
the case in ST Louis. where immense
quantities of tobacco have been sfor-
ed in the hope that better market
presently may be offered. In Florida
the turpentine is being similarly
held.
These facts have not prevented
banks in various cities seeking gov
eminent deposits TO move the crops.
but when the deposits have been
made it is learned that the money
really was used in more or less
speculative manner. instead OF TO tide
over natural period OF monetary
stringency. As soon as this became
apparent to Secretary Cortelyou he
cut off the deposits.
This condition of affairs fits in with
the belief OF many persons that the
crop movement period is rapidly dis
appearing because crops are held in
storage until the actual sales are con-
fined to no one short period. as once
was the case.
Comptroller. of the Currency
Ridgely. in speaking of the financial
situation in New York Tuesday said:
MY advices from New York are
reassuring, and the situation there
should now improve The storm has
broken and the damage become
known without any failures OF the ma
tional banks which have lately been
criticised. The clearinghouse con-
firms my reports that these banks
are all solvent and Is standing by
them. Their debit balances at the
clearing house are less than expected,
and | understand one bank paid its
balance without help.
THE national banks of the coun-
try generally are in strong shape
and there is not the slightest occa-
sion for any alarm in regard to them
This is a time for GOODNESS and pru-
dence. not for alarm"

HOW LAWS ARE MADE.
Wind and Gas Are Essentials of
Successful Member of State
Legislature.

How to Pass a Bill in the Legis-
lature," was fruitful and interesting
subject discussed by State Represen-
tative Jesse Z. Eschbach, of Warsaw
before the pupils of the Warsaw high
school Thursday morning, Boys
learn English when in the high
school and if ever they become legis-
lators they will need all they learn
ed" said Mr. Eschbach. ANY man
who aspires to political career must
have a great deal of wind and gas, .
he continued. The first fourteen
days of an Indiana legislative ses-
sion the lawmakers meet only in the
morning between 10 and - o'clock.
During the last part OF a session they
meet from TO o'clock in the morn
ing and are frequently still doing
business at l o'clock in the morning.
The days work is opened with pray
er by some minister who is visiting
the house. The clerk is supposed to
read the journal, which contains re-
sumo of the previous days meeting,
but as usual thing somebody moves
that the journal be not read Then
other business is taken up.
There are forty-nine standing COM
mitees in the House, four joint and
two at large There are nine members
OF the house on committees. After
the reading of the journal the reports
of these committees are heard. Each
committee has chairman who writes
ont cards conveying the information
that certain committee meets in
room number so and so at such and
such an hour. Each member OF the
committee receives one of these
cards and another is sent TO the door
keeper. who puts it upon a bulletin
board in the hall
After the report of the commit
tees have been heard, the representa-
tives proceed with new business. The
clerk calls the names of all
of the counties of the state in alpha
betical order, and if representative
has a bill he makes known the TACT
when his name is read by clapping
his hands. A page then comes TO his
desk and gets his bill. which is taken
to the clerk, who for the first read
ing reads the title so that the speaker
may know into what committee S
hands to put the bill. The members
of that committee take the bill and
vote upon it and then report to the
house their decision. This decision
is sent in in printed form, one paper
signed by the members in favor of it
and the other by the members oppos-
ed to it. Then the speaker, if the bill
is favored by the members of the
committee, calls for the second read
ing of the bill, but he asks first if
anybody wants any change or
changes made. After the second read
ing nobody can change it without the
consent of the house. AT last comes
the third and final reading, when the
entire bill must be read word for
word Then every representative
must say yes or no when his name IS
called in alphabetical order. If the
bill receives hfty-ope votes or more
it is sent on its way
Mr.. Eschbach went briefly into 9TH
er features of Legislative work. His
talk was listened TO with much inter
est. not only by pupils, but by the in
structors.-Warsaw Times.

Many fourth-class postmasters
throughout the country are register
ing vigorous protests with Postmast-
er-General Meyer against the recent
order of the department requiring the
daily weighing of all incoming and
outgoing mails During the last week
an unusually heavy number of resig-
nations have been received.
One postmaster in a sparsely set
tied Western state wrote that as his
pay from the Government for hand
ling the mails ait his postoffice
amounted to about $195 a year ne
did not think that he was justified in
undertaking the additional labor and
mental effort of weighing on an aver
age a letter week. He returned his
commission with thanks.
Another postmaster was evidently
fretted by the instructions he was re-
ceiving from those in charge of the
work. He wrote the department say
ing that he had been in re, eipt of q
mass OF stuff that ne could not un-
derstand, and wanted TO know what
it was all about He ended his letter
with the injunction that no more
such stuff be sent him. as he was
closing the office and intended to take
weeks vacation
The weighing of the mails was or
dered by the last Congress, which
appropriated about 100000 for the
work. 1t was undertaken in order
that the Postoffice Department might
get an accurate knowledge of the
amount of mails by weight and class
carried by railroads and vessels in
every section of the country.

NO ANAESTHETIC FOR Him
Aaron cIevenger, Seyenty-Four Years OF
Age, Keeps Wide Awake While
Surgeon Cuts.
PATIENT RAPIDLY RECOVERING.

For several moaths our towns
man, Mr.. Aaron Clevenger, has
had a growth" coming on the
side of his neck. While the ordi
w household remedies were
applied, the growth seemed OBJ
stnate, and at last looked just a
little bit cancerous. Whatever
it mighs be, his physician thought
1t would be better for our friend
TO have 1t removed, and to this
suggestion, Mr.. Clevenger readi.
ly assented.
Early Tuesday morning of last
week, he, In company With DR..
George M. Robinson, drove over
to the office of DR.. Unger at Mer-
cersburg, with whom arrange
ments had been made to do the
cutting. DR.. Brubaker, of Mer-
cersburg, was also present.
When Mr.. Clevenger's neck
was barred, the Doctors thought
that the glitterlng steel of the
sharp blades would take the old
gentleman nerve, for Mr.. Clev.
enger is almost "a years of age,
and they began to prepare for the
administering Of an anaesthetic
that would swing their patient of
into the land of happy dreams
while the carving act was going
on. But Aaron caught Whit OF
chloroform, and susnecting what
was about to be done, he entered
a very firm protest; in fact, he
wanted to stay around and see
how they did the job.
Astonished at the old gentle.
mans nerve, they proceeded with
the operation, which meant the
cutting IN to the large muscle in
the side of his neck, removing
the growth" scraping every
vestige of the growth flom the
muscle, cleansing the wound, and
placing the necessary bandayes
After it was all over, Mr.. Clev.
enger quietly lighted his pipe
and smoked as calmly as though
nothing unusual had happened.
Since his return home Tuesday
evening. he has been going about
attending to his usuaAlght work
and the wound is coming along
nicely.

Reformed Reunion.

The eighteenth annual Reform
cd Reunion at PenMar, on July
18, 1907, will have SO many extra
attractions that no member or
friend of the church within the
borders OF the district can afford
to miss it. All necessary arrange
ments with the railroads and troll
ley companies have been made.
The park was never IN as fine n
condition as now New cottages
and other building have been erect
ed, the grounds have been thor
oughIy cleansed Of all rubbish, and
workInen have made the place
ideal. The pure mountain water,
cool and sparkling, gushes from
many spigots to slake the thirst
and invigorate the health Of all
who may partake thereof. The
railroad and trolley rates will be
the same as last year.
