Of the object I have been working for for
several years. but am too busy today to
dictate anything. You can say. however,
that everything has worked splendidly;
we are going to operate a limited service
for time, but we have already handled
from 5000 to 10000 words today on &C
count Of it being a special day and
large number Of congratulatory and press
messages having been exchanged between
London and New York. We did not trans
NIT commercial or private messages as a
rule today, as we made it a sort Of press
day.
Regular Business Service.
"You cannot call 1t an inaugural or
opening. We had our real opening two
years ago, when kilograms were passed
by our system between the President and
the king. We have not. therefore, adj
dressed anything to crowned heads, but
we are just quietly starting to do a reg
ular business between Europe and Amer
lea in continuation of the old service. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier sent two messages by
our system this morning. One was ad-
dressed to the British people We also
received message from Lord Strathcona,

Hates Of Baltimore declared that spirit
ualism is the only religion that has Of
fered, woman an opportunity for free
speech. Without the spirit of free
thought she declared women are as a ship
without rudder. Men," she said, less

Hates, who is one of the mediums and
platform orators Of the spiritual church,
pointed out the necessity of concerted ef-
fort on the part Of the delegates from
every state.

Brooks, president Of the Wisconsin state
association and Mrs. Hates acted as mes
sage bearers. A number of greetings were
conveyed to persons in the audience, al
legged to be from friends in the spirit
world. At the afternoon session yester-

the committee on the presidents recon-
mendation and placed itself on record as
being unalterab'y opposed to mediums
who do not have the official sanction Of
the National Spirtualists' Association. In
this connection 1t was decided that every
medium shall work upon probation, and
that for the first six months he or she
shall be under the supervision of the
president of the association in the state
in which operations are conducted.

A Welsh Sermon.

The Welsh are noted for their fond ness for sermons and music. The an nual eisteddfod, the national bardic congress. is attended by thousands. who on the great day Of festival ''chair" the fortunate bard. the winner of the prize.
 A similar enthusiasm greets the Welsh preacher who is eloquent in speech and practical in expounding the Scriptures. The following story of q Welsh preacher, told in the Journals of Walter White" illustrates the graphic, simple exposition which con manded the attention of the congrega- ton:
 Noe worked at the ark. driving nails. plump, plump, plump. whe hay then came and said: Noe, there's good hunting in the woods here, hares and foxes. Leave your work and come and hunt But Noe kept on hammering. plump, plump. plump.
 'srhe haythen came again: Noe, there's good beer at the Red Lion. Leave your work and come and drink But Noe kept on hammering. plump. plump, plump. And then the rain came, and the flood lifted up the ark and carried Noe away and left the haythen all screaming and squabbling in the water"

A Simple Recipe.

Everybody in Cedarby owned that Mrs. Hanson was the queen of cooks. but they were likely to add that when 1t came to explaining the processes by which she arrived at her excellent re- suits she left good deal to be de- sired.
 Your scalloped oysters are the best we ever have at our church suppers or anywhere, and you know it" said a neighbor. endeasoring to win special favor from this culinary goddess. Most folks get lem either too wet or too dry. tell 'em I don't know how you man age it so yours are always Just right. I don't suppose you could tell exactly yourself"

The most important thing in clean ing typewriter is to get the dust and grit out of the machine-not farther into it as is too often the case.

Hat. Ina. Improv. With Aqe.

"A silk hat. like wine. improves with age" said a clubman. ''The oftener you have it ironed the sleeker and more brilliant 1t becomes. It costs a good deal at the outset, but in the end it is the cheapest hat to wear. It lasts, you see, so long. and to iron 1t costs so little. Some folks think the topper very perishable. If it gets soaked with rain. if some one sits on 1t and crush es it into an accordion, they think 1t must be thrown away the same as If 1t were a derby. But not at all. A silk hat can be taken apart and put together again like watch, and if it gets crushed nothing is easier than to melt off the silk. straighten out the frame and then put on the silk again. In England, the home of this hat. have known men to wear the same topper for ten or twelve years. And the oftener the old hat is ironed the brighter and finer it shines. Its luster increases with time and friction like the luster of good antique furniture" |" Los Angeles Times

DOUGLAS MARSHAL IS
 AFTER AUTO sPIEEDER||s FEEDERS

I9IUIIiIfao, OOI. |. VoiES$ss.s-i Marshal Stambaugh is getting busy and has his drag net cast on Tenth street from c avenue to A. Every automobile which crosses the dead line hitting a clip of more than fifteen miles an hour will be immediately pinched and the chaffeur brought up standing before Hizzonor.
 Sunday was the first haul thus far
 made, the quartette being George Far reli. Billie Frazier. John Savage and s. F. Mcguire. The only passenger aboard the Mcguire flyer was Mayor W. NJ. Adamson, and the marshal is looking up the law to determine whether the mayor is an accessory before or after the fact or simply an innocent spectator in hurry to get back after the ball game
 The marshal is just now walking
 jewelry shop, having stop watch in every pocket. This makes 1t con venient, as every time a whizz cart seems to be kicking up too much dust he can whip out a watch, no matter which pocket he has his hand in and catch th am on the fly. Sunday he was stationed at the east end of Tenth street, with one of his officers block
 away. When the machines came tear ing down from the park he timed them for one block One or two seemed to
 be trying to lower the record, for the
 stop watch had hardy got under ac-
 ton before it was time to shut of. There seems to be slight protest
 on the part of s. F. Mcguire. who in sists that he had slowed down before
 he came within the eagle eye of the ! marshal and his stop watch. He did concede that had he come under the stop watch at an earlier trip there might have been a debatable question.
 However that may be. the matter wifi
 be threshed out before Judge Rice, who is now making an exhaustive ex- animation of his books and will en- i Tighten the public later.
 Yesterday afternoon Messrs. Far rell, Frazier and Savage appeared be- fore Judge Rice and pleaded guilty to
 the charge. Judge Rice fined each s5
 and costs, and delivered a stirring lee
 ture on the subject of observing the l city ordinances. q will assess the
 minimum fine, as this is the first of fense. Any of you" said the court.

 second offense I will fine s25. cer-

 Dante, offended and hurt by the slight, had taken his departure. but re turned when followed and invited anew. This time be came to supper superbly dressed in crimson velvet and gold and was served with extreme at tention. but the courtiers observed with amazement that he poured the sour down his sleeves, tucked outlets into nis breast and sulesrvd nis ricu uItlrs with sauces.
 Good gracious, your majesty eb- served the boldest of the supping no bles. 'why has thls poet such man ners2"
 The question was passed on to Dante, who gravely replied: When came here dressed shabbily and sat quietly In my corner. I was forgotten and snubbed.
