MARcoN1, the wireless telegraph in
ventor, is installing wireless station at
Sydney, n. S., from which he expects to
establish permanent communication with
Clifden, Ireland. He claims to have
demonstrated by experiments that the
sending of transatlantic messages may
now be accomplished successfully upon
a commercial basis. The public will ap-
parently profit in more than one way by
the establishment of this service. The
cable companies intend to reduce their
rates on cables to the same figures fixed
by Marconi as soon as the latter begins
business. Marconi expects to get good
deal of newspaper work.

WHY should the republicans of Wis
consin, at least fifty per cent of whom
prefer another candidate, sink their SEN
timents and judgment in order to crown
the am hition of local candidate with
an empty honor? Why should the re-
publicans of Wisconsin trifie in the per-
Torrance of their share of the work Of
selecting a presidential candidate, and
thus lose the credit and prestige of hav-
ing sincerely supported the candidate or
candidates Of their choice? Why should
the republicans of Wisconsin be asked
to make farce of the delegate election
by failing to record their honest choice
Tor president? State Journal.

THE state railroad commission seems
to be doing some very good and effective
work In a quiet way. One of the latest
decisions has effected the restoration of
the twenty-five cent minimum charge
for single freight shipment in the state,
thing that is of considerable impor-
lance to all shippers and business men.
AS matter of fact the people generally
are commencing to feel that this COM
mission is very important branch of
the administrative government and few
indeed would care to go back to the old
methods which we're in vogue before the
commission was esta blished. AS it is
now the public finds no difficulty in get
ting prompt hearing with respect to
all causes, or imagined causes for COM
plant against the railroads, and where
such complaints are found to be based
on actual abuses or inequalities the rem
edy is forthcoming, and with very little
DELAY.

The Story of a Rifle Shot.

Perhaps no one knows, or ever will
know, how much in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war single rifle ball accom-
plished toward bringing the conflict
to an early close. 1t was a sergeant
Of the Ninth infantry who fired the
shot, at distance Of more than 1900
yards, that nearly severed the left arm
of General Linares from his body and
gave the supreme command at Santi-
ago to General Toral. Sergeant Nc
Inarney was the most advanced SOL
der Of the American forces, and took
position in tree. Beyond, within the
breastworks, he noticed an officer
upon a gray horse, apparently making
an inspection Of the entire line.
Though the order had gone out that
day that no firing should be INDUCED
in, McInarney drew a bead upon the
horseman and brought him down,
Later it was learned that the SER
geant's target was General Linares,
regarded as the best Of SPANS fight
ers In Cuba. Toral, commander who
was anxious for a speedy termination
Of hostilities, assumed command, and
a few hours later Santiago capitulated
to the Americans.-New York Tribune.

TO DISCUSS PROPOSED LOAN
Extra Session of Dominican Congress
Called.

extra session OF dominican Congress
Called.
Washington, Sept. S.-According to
a cablegram received at the state de-
partment from American Minister Nc
Creepy, at Santo Domingo, President
Caceres has issued call for an extra
ordinary session of the Dominican con-
gress Sept 10 to deal with the latest
proposition for the contract for
S20,O0O,OOO loan from Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. of New York.
Immediately after the PRONUNCIATION
of the treaty friction began to develop.
1t arose from opposition in Santo Do
mhgo to the terms of the contract by
which the firm was to provide $780,
100000 with which the Dominican gov
eminent was to immediately pay off
all OF her foreign creditors, with ample
provision for the amortization Of the
loan in the course Of thirty years. The
New York firm submitted a modified
proposition, which was taken to Santo
Domingo by Senior Velasquez, the
minister for the treasury. That was
rejected by congress and counter
proposition was made on behalf of the
Dominican government. That in turn
was rejected by the New York bank
ers and they have now submitted an.
other and, it is believed, a final propo-
sition. This provides, in brief, for the
supply of the needed s20,OOO,O0O on
condition that the loan is to be taken
at the rate of SO cents on the dollar
and the bonds are to run for thirty
years, with permission for the Domin-
lean government to redeem them at
the end of ten years at the rate Of
$102 for each 500 bond It is this
proposition that the Dominican con.
gress is to consider and it is feared
at the insular bureau that in view of
the stringency in the general money
market it will scarcely be possible to
secure the funds elsewhere.

Classed as an Antique Also.

A charming hostess of one of the
big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of prematurely
white hair, says the Washington Star.
That which seems to her contempt
raries an added charm may appear to
the crudely young a mark of decline,
at least so it appears In one instance
of which the hostess herself tells with
enjoyment.
The lady Is connoisseur of antiques.
At one of her teas a debutante rich
with the glow of youth, but sadly con-
strained with her sense of her own
novelty, was handed a cup Of tea. The
cup was beautifully blue and wonder
fully old. The hostess, desiring to
tighten the strain on her youthful
guest by a pleasingly diverting re-
mark, said, '"That little cup Is 100
years DID,
"Oh," came the debutante's high
strained tones, chow careful you must
be to have kept it SO long!'

The Last Char In tho Box.

1.-THE last cigar in the box is the
hardest to SELL" was the remark Of a
Front street dealer. "Not because It
Is not as good as any other cigar, but
because Of the superstition of the
average man against taking the last
Of anything. AS result we often
take one cigar. or even two cigars, of
the last cigars In box and put them
on top Of the cigars in a full or almost
full box. On the other hand, ought
to mention that there are men who
prefer the last cigars and who ask us
to save the last cigars in the boxes for
them every day, sometimes to the
number of six or seven, daily, for
which they call every evening. We
have thus no trouble In disposing of
these alast cigars. but the contrast in
the conduct Of the two styles of Gus
toners is curious."- philadelphia Rec

Oriuin of "AeIIo. Bill"


Why do the Elks yell Hello, Bill?"
It's this way: Back in 1894, when
there was a schism in the organization,
the two factions met In Atlantic City
for peace parley. At the time Will
liam G. Myers Of this city, Philadel-
phia's only past grand exalted ruler,
was the grand esteemed leading knight
and one Of the most popular men in
the order TO get his advice and greet
him hundreds of Elks congregated at
the Atlantic City station to meet Mr.
Myers. All the members were at high
tension. When Bill Myers stepped off
the car Delegate Stack Of st. Paul, q
big six footer, shouted, Hello, Billw
and the crowd took up the salutation
with hearty laugh, and from that day
to this Hello, Bill" Is so universally
used among Elks that it has virtually
become official. To the good natured
feeling which had it's outward express
sion In Stacks greeting to Bill Myers

Trades That Kill,

One Of the most dangerous Of trades,

the elephants, calfskin for the horse
and goatslzin for the camels. This
covering must Of course At without
a wrinkle to look natural, so the wood
en- model is first dipped into glue, then
sprinkled with chalk dust; then the
skin is put on. The chalk Is so fine
that it fills the air and is drawn into
the throat and lungs. A year Of this
sort of work often results in death.
Another very injurious toy is the rub
Der balloon. The fumes and solvents
used in reducing sheet rubber to the
necessary thinness while retaining its
strength and the dyeing Of the bril-
liant yellows, green's and purple are
most of them poisonous.
