A REGULAR WIRELESS SERVICE.
1t is Now in Operation, Transmitting
Messages Across the Atlantic.

Glace Bay, N. S. = The inaug-
uration of a regular transatlantic
wireless service was accomplished
Thursday by William Marconi and his
assistants. Mr.. Marconi stated last
night that more than 5000 words had
been transmitted between the station
at Port Morien, six miles from here.
and the Irish station.
Invitations to a large number of
guests were issued for o'clock in the
afternoon, but the worldwide interest
in the undertaking brought a flood of
messages in the early morning, and
the service was opened shortly after
daylight. Among those present at the
opening of the new service were rep
resentatives of score of British and
American newspapers.
The station Is the property of the
Canadian Marconi Co. and is estimat-
ed to have cost 100000, independent
of expenditures for experimenting in
cidental to the first attempts to make
practical use of a new invention.
There are "a pine masts, 1870 feet
high, arranged in a circle of 5000 feet
diameter. The masts are wired and
connected with the four towers form
ing the center of the circle The tow
ers are wooden, 215 feet high and sur
mounted by masts so feet in height.

QUALITIES OF WIT AND HUMoR.
Alike, Vet in Many Ways Fundament.
ally Different.

Wit and humor are such elemental
fundamental things that 1t has always
been found difficult to analyze them,
says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon
some points, however, those who have
essayed this puzzling task agree, for
they all hold that wit is an intel
lectual, humor an emotional, quality;
that wit is a perception of resem-
blance, and humor a perception of
contrast, of discrepancy, of incongru.
ity. The incongruity is that which
arises between the ideal and the fact,
between theory and practice, between
promise and performance; and per-
haps it might be added that it is al
ways or almost always a moral in
congruity. In the case both of wit
and humor there is also a pleasurable
surprise, gentle shock. which ac-
companies our perception of the hith-
erto unsuspected resemblance or in
congruity. A New England farmer
was once describing in the pres
ence of very humane person the
great age and debility of a horse that
he formerly owned and used. you
ought to have killed him." interrupt
ed the humane person Indignantly.
"Well," drawled the farmer I'VE did

HoFF coNouERs CONSUMPTION.
Home Treatment Advocated instead
of Banishment.

Instead of binding heavier burdens
on the consumptiye and sufferer
from asthma by Punishment to the
West it has been proven that the
home treatment with the simplest
indications brings about the best re-
suits.
The American Bureau is distribut-
ing gratuitously valuable treatise on
asthma and consumption which con-
tains rules and regulations relative to
diet, exercise, hygiene and medicinal
treatment for the cure of these mala-
dies. 1t also points out ways and
means by which it may be safe to
come in contact with the consumptive
patient.
The establishment of the American
Bureau is the result of the wonderful
achievements of Prof. Hoff, of the fac
ulty of the University of Vienna,
whose success in the treatment of
consumption, asthma and catarrh Is
little less than marvellous. His the
ories are to be promulgated in the
hopes of stamping the Great White
Plague from the continent
The pith of this little book has been
copied by local boards of health, and
by addressing the American Bureau,
No. 40 Third avenue, New York City,
the book will be sent free to any suf-
ferer from asthma or consumption.

are Found to be in
Bad Way.

New York City. = Sensations fol-
lowed each other in rapid succession
in the financial district Thursday as
the result of the collapse of the pro-
jected corner in United Copper and
the suspension of a prominent broker
age firm Wednesday.
The firm of Otto Heinze G. Co. was
suspended on the stock exchange.
F. Augustus Heinze, the Butte cop
per magnate, resigned the presidency
of the Mercantile National Bank of
New York
The Amalgamated Copper Co. at it's
directors meeting cut it's quarterly
dividend from per cent. to / per
cent
The directors of the Boston and
Montana Copper Co. declared a quar-
terly dividend of Sc in place of a
former dividend of $12.
The failure of Haller, Soehle & Co.,
prominent bankers of Hamburg, Ger
many, with liabilities that may reach
81 800, 900, was announced.
The State Savings Bank, of Butte,
Mont, of which the Heinzes are the
principal stockholders, suspended.
The suspension of Otto Heinze &
Co., of which firm Max M. Schultze is
the stock exchange member, was
based on complaint to the exchange
made by Gross & Kleeberg, the stock
exchange firm which failed Wednes-
day. In a communication to the pres
ident of the stock exchange, this firm
charged Otto Heinze e Co. with re-
fusing to accept 1902 shares of Uni
ted Copper said to have been bought
on the order of the Heinze firm. This
action, Gross & Kleeberg state, was
responsible for their failure. Attor-
neys for this firm stated that the
amount owing to the firm by the
HeinZe firm aggregates 100000.
The HeinZe firm announced that it
is perfectly solvent and that all its
legal obligations will be met The at
torneys say that the suspension by
the stock exchange was accepted by
the firm in order to give the latter an
opportunity to sift its legal obliga-
tions from numerous claims which
have been made against it and which
1t is alleged are not legal obligations.
Hamburg, ,Germany.-The old private
banking firm of Haller, Soehle & Co.
failed Thursday The liabilities of the
firm are variously stated and it was
estimated early in the day that they
were in the neighborhood of $1,000
900, but the Hamburger Nachrichten
says it is informed by banker who
is in a position to know the facts that
the liabilities will reach $7,500000.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
Retail Business Broadens and CoIIec-
tions Improve.

New York.-R. G. Dun C Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Autumn retail trade broadens under
the stimulating influence of favorable
weather, and collections also improve.
While reports are almost unanimous
regarding the satisfactory volume of
retail distribution of seasonable goods,
IN other sections of commercial and
industrial activity there is some ir-
regularity, attributed in most cases to
high rates for money, which induces
conservatism in preparations for the
future. Yet leading cities at the west
and south find no restriction in sup
Elementary orders at wholesale, and
jobbers report that new lines for
spring are well received.
Copper declined still lower, but
prices were steady in the leading
metal industry.
Plates and structural materials are
the strongest departments of the fin
ished steel market, and bar mills have
enough business to operate during the
balance of the year, even if no more
orders are received. Consumers feel
sanguine that a waiting policy will
bring better terms. A fair demand is
noted for prompt shipment of mer-
chant steel, very good news being re-
ceived from makers of shafting.
In the textile industries the event
of the week was the cut in prices by a
Chicago house. There was no evil
dence of weakness in cotton goods
prior to that reduction, which in some
lines amounted to 20 per cent, and
eastern jobbers did not follow the
western movement.
