borne so long by, the black man. 1t is
a kind of slavery that may not liter
ally bind the body to 'life of perjury
and VICE. and yet it will finally so
blunt the aspirations of mankind as to
make him oblivious to all ambitious
pursuits, deprive him of hope and
cause him to forget that he has any
interest in the scheme of human
lights.
Need l say that this unfortunate
situation is the inevitable result of
the uses to which the great fortunes
which have been and are being accu-
mulaled out of our transcedent pros
perity are being devoted? it IS re-
gletable fact that the great body Of
the people are not themselves likely
to comprehend the danger u!lil the

wei traceable T.. popaIa: l,,!aryy as
'c< .cts these Lhi..s. and it is too
of,c" the case in OIL. ow n busy and
needless day that he who would sound
the alarm must take the risk of being
discredited.
Many who were eye witnesses to the
practical methods Of the slave owner
prior to the civil war have survived
to see at the beginning of fresh
century the new kind Of tyranny that
prompts these remarks. In the midst
of the glamour that invariably sur
rounds concentrated wealth, when I'M
earned fortunes are being piled up
like ossa upon Pelion, there will al
ways be found the germ of caste--not
the caste based upon good morals and
intellectually and the other qualifica-
lions necessary to understand and en-
joy the things that belong to art and
science, but the caste that is overfed,
that takes it's root in luxury, that
thrives only in the soil of financial,
political and social power and which
at its seed time has become an insti-
tuition Of oppression that saps the ma
tons vitality and menaces the exist
ence of our republican form of govern
ment-an institution, indeed, such as
belongs to monarchy and is forever
the very antithesis of true democracy.
There are some striking points of
difference between the tyrants of slave
times and the modern overlords.
Where the one swung the lash to put
his mandates into force, the other man
ipulates the agencies of industry. He
controls the money market; he con-
tracts and expands the currency as
suits his avaricious purposes; he con-
solidates the instrumentalities of COM
merce, always of course with view
to greater profit to himself and there

HONOR FOR AMERICAN WOMAN
Queen Alexandra Gives Recognition to
Patricia Egan.
PARIS AT FEET OF MRS. Aston
Her Beauty and Her Dresses Create
Sensation in France--Venice
Attracts smart Set from
England.

LONDON, Oct. O.-(Special. )-Patricia
Egan, who a week or so ago married Mr..
Elmer Murphy OF Washington in Copen-
hagen, received special recognition from
Queen Alexandra and the dowagcr empress
OF Russia. Miss Egan, or rather Mrs, Elmer
Murphy as she now is, is. Of course, a
daughter of the United States minister to
Denmark, and used to be exceedingly pop
ular when sho came over here, as she in
varlably did, once or more a year.
She has been in the past a guest of the
queen at S~andrlngham When her majesty
heard of The wedding she called at the en-
bassy at Copenhagen with a present for
the bride. Later the Empress Marie did
likewise. Tho queen was not sent an invi-
tation, as there was an idea that she was
not going to be in Copenhagen at the date,
but she came without one, saying: May
1 be allowed to come as an unlimited
guest:" Her presence caused great excite
ment In society and lent special eclat TO
the event, which was one of considerable
diplomatic as we'll as social Importance.

Americans, probably as Mrs. Horace Au-
gustus Helyar, whose husband was one of
the secretaries of the British legation at
Washington in the eighties. Her beauty
and great mass Of golden hair produced a
sensation in capital society and she became
a rage. After the death of her first hus-
band Mrs. Helyar married John Savile-
Lumley, who two years later in 1894, sue
ceeded to the barony of Savile and about
SITS. 900 a year.
1t was Lady Savile who, upon her re-
turn to London society from Washington,
while she was still Mrs. Helyar, introduced
the American surprise party" and other
forms of entertainment into Mayfair. She
soon gained a reputation as an interesting
and unconventional hostess and became
immensely popular with the set of the
king, then the prince of Wales.
Lord Savile himself is an enthusiastic
hunter, one of the best shots In England
and extremely popular in society. He has
a fine town house in Charles street,
Berkeley square, and owns something like
"a, 900 acres.
The Abbey, although a very ancient
structure, dating back to the beginning of
the twelfth century, is nevertheless one of
the most comfortable country houses in
England. Every modern convenience Is at
the kings hands and it is largely because
of this that his majesty is so frequent a
visitor. King Edward is a very hard man
to entertain and makes no bones about
showing his displeasure should the ar
rangements of his host not ensure him ease,
comfort and freedom from petty annoy
ances.
1t is usual at houses where he is staying
to provide a special livered attendant to
open the doors of the various rooms
through which he may nave occasion to
pass. This feature Lady Savile has dis
pensed with and the host or hostess per
forms the duty. In other respects she is
very much like any other hostess. Only
newly-minted money is used when his
majesty plays cards and a new pack Is
provided for every game. At the dining
table only one finger bowl-that used by
the king-is allowed on the table.
Rufford Abbey is not content with one
ghost, but instead boasts three. The king
and the Saviles declare they have never
seen any Of the interesting trio, but I'm
that respect they are less fortunate than

Much interest has been aroused in Prague
1t is said that as many as 10000 words per
hour may be transmitted over a telephone.
phone.
The machine consists OF three parts-a
perforator, transmittoR and receiver. ThS
first may be worked by a typewriter, while
the other two are automatic, working
through the agencies of electricity ano
photography, and the instrument may be
connected by an ordinary telephone line.
The operator first writes the messages
upon a long paper ribbon. By touching the
keys a series of holes are punched in the
ribbon, each set of holes representing a let
ter.
After taking the ribbon from the per.
f~orator, the inventor places it in a. small
cylinder in the transmitter, and a touch
OF the switch sets the cylinder revolving.
and the ribbon with It. Before the ribbon
has completely passed through the trans.
mitter, a second broader strip of sensitizet
paper issues from the receiver, and upon
II is written in plain, legible characters
the actual message which the inventor or
operator has written on the typewriter.
It 8 claimed that messages may thus be
transmitted hundreds of miles as well as
short distances.
The inventor also claims TO have dis
covered a means of Harvesting light to
electricity, by which a tiny spot OF light
hundreds of miles away is controlled as
readily as when close by.
