g. ,HGe is quiet along the Potomac.
Soldiers of many wars are here. Revolutionary
veterans lie not far removed from descendants who
met death in the Philippines. The victim of the Semi
mole rests at Arlington, and with him is the man who
fell before the earthworks of Molino del Rey. Sailors
who served on the Constitution and on the Maine are
IN port in Arlington. 1t is a camping ground Of the
united service.
20 The troopers stationed at Fort Myer can look
through the iron gateway at Arlington and see the
grave of a man who for II years was a commissioned
officer OF the United States army-the veteran Harvey
OF the old Second Dragons. He fought in the Black
Hawk and Seminole wars, in Mexico, on the plains

\ ~ There r legions of dead in Arlington. Nature has made
part of the work. The flowers and the trees are the native
growth; the birds ar those of the wild places, the wOOdthrush
and the cardinal, who come back year after year, even though
in this soldiers camping ground they sing their revelles vainly.
Arlington house would be a sad place even if there were no
miles of headstones stretching away from its doorsteps and marking
house. It's Doric columns were built to rival the stolidity of the Po-
tomac hills and the mansion itself had it's foundations laid and its
walls erected upon the faith of honest workmen. The building stands
white, massive and impressive and holds the mind with the minging
of the strength and beauty of it's lines.
The government has done much for Arlington and it has left much
undOne. 1t is nothing short of a crime that a mind kindred to that
of the master landscape gardener who saw to it that the natural beau
ty of the grounds was preserved could not have been brought to bear
upon the ordering of the interior of the old southern home. The
great frepaces which at the Christmas season were once gorged
cheering and the comfort of the guests, are now covered with rusty
sheet iron. Stoves made at Troy, N. Y, or Detroit, Mich, supply
warmth and make the interior look a crossroads station.
On the walls of the great drawing room, where Robert E. Lee and
Mary Custs pighted their troth, are some printed extracts from
speeches made by fervid orators upon Sundry patriotic occasions.
The frames r pine, the paper is cheap, the printing is poor and in
one or two instances at least the sentiments ar tawdry.
On a desk in one corner lies a open register where everyone
visiting this shrine must write. his name. In this matter Of supplying
a register and making compulsory the tracing of autographs the
government has shown wisdom. If the book were not there to give
the average tourist, an opportunity to spread his name and resi-
dence in big letters, he would take out his finger reStlesSneSs either
in scrawling on the walls or in chipping pieces from the monuments Of
heroes who lie without.
Robert E. Lee lived at Arlington until 1851, at such times as he
could absent himself from his army duties. The morning of the 2d
of April of that year he went to the porch of his home and standing
between the two great central pillars he looked across potomac
at the city of Washington. Then he turned away ud an hour later
was O his way to Richmond to offer his sword to the south. He
never returned to Arlington.

Tourtellotte Memorial High
 School.

DEDICATION EXERCISES CoSTINU ED.
 The Dedication exercises of the To III tellotte Memorial High School, were exceedingly gratifying from inception to conclusion.
 The task for accomplishing this im- portant yet delicate service was intrust- ted to gentleman of rare ability, Mr. C. <. Andem, Agent of the Grosveaor- Dale Company. His taetfai manage ment avoided what in less able hands might have caused divisions of senti- ment among it's citizens in regard 10 various points in planning and carry ing forward the work to it's triumphal completion in the everto- be remember ed Dedication Exercises. Not only was there secured an almost unanimous eN. pression of delighted approval of the

the Tourteiiotte Memorial High School building was submitted to the voters and was adopted by practically una nimous vote.
 On Friday evening, before the exer- cises began, there was an outside pub lie demonstration in honor of the occa- sion. All the bells were rung for one hour; the school grounds were illnmi- hated with hundreds of Japanese lan- terms and sticks of red fire. A band stand was erected in front of the school building, draped with red, white and blue bunting, from which the band gave concert for one hour.
 When the meeting closed the people fingered 10 look over the building and to examine its various furnishings.
 Brilliant as were the exercises Tues day evening, the inspiration then start ed was continued, if not increased, by the increased swell of popular joy that the magnificent TourtelIotte Memorial School is irrevocably to "be source Of pleasure, pride and profit to them" and To their posierity forever.
 The attendance was again an over- flowing crowd, the exercises were of a different character, but none the less exciting from beginng to ending.
 MT. Andem announced that Rev. C.. H. Van Natter would offer the first prayer in the new building.
 Mir. Andem, who has directed the exercises throughout. in his pre-intro- ductory remarks, said:
 "The School Committee, in whose hands the arrangements for these dedi- cation exercises this evening were placed, have asked of the speakers an imposibility. They have asked them to xpress their feelings in three or four minutes. IL is great test We shall see what they can do."
 Each of the speakers was introduced by MT. Andem with short appropriate remarks, and their speeches were in. terspersed with singing by quartet readings, and orchestral selections Some of their thoughts were given .. follows:

 It requires an important public in- ei8ent, like the establishment of the Tourtelotte Memorial High School, and it's accompanying intellectual ex- ercises, to manifest the latent feelings of kindly interest of ihe people in one another. They then realize that they are united in everything that affects the common welfare, and personal miscon- captions of one another are obliterated forever. There will be healthier unity of sentiment among the people of the Town of Thompson hereafter, growing out of lhe establishment among them of the Tourtellotte Memorial High School-which will be common bond to unite them in inte rest and kindly fellowship.
 The exercises were calculated to pro mote unity of sentiment. Great prin- ciples intended to unite a community in a common effort for the general well fare, morally, religiously, intellectual fy and materially, that will have an abiding effect, were presented.
 All the addresses were directed to one point-the benefit of the Tourtel- lotte Memorial High School to the peo- pie and town of Thompson. Due ac- know Iedgment was made to the donors of the magnificent building, and in such form and varied expression, as left only impressions Of deep and sin cere gratitude to the donors for their noble gift. This heartfelt declaration of gratitude was received as coming from the entire people, and acknow- ledged as such, to the lasting good of donors and beneficiaries.

 Another picture drawn by MT. An dem, of deep pathos, Is in describing Mrs. Tourtellotte's arranging various gifts around the Memorial room. among them the pictures of her two deceased daughters. After she had arranged all the relics as she had long before planned, four or five times she went to her carriage and then, pretending she had forgotten something, returned to take another look at tho picture of her loved ones.

Edison's New Wireless.

About seventeen years ago Thomas
A. Edison startled the world by carry
ing on telegraphic communication be-
tween a moving train and stations
along the railroad without any wire
connection Herewith. The system
employed was to mount a board COW
cred with tinfoil edgewise on the car
roof. The tinfoil formed part Of a
local telegraph circuit, which induct.
lively affected the telegraph wires
that paralleled the track, ard IN this
way the messages were made to
leap" from the train to the telegraph
lines. The recent experiments on a
wellknown railroad where messages
were exchanged between an operator
on a fast moving train and operators
IN Toledo, Elkhart and Chicago were
of different character. The Hertzian
waves were used, which transmitted
the messages directly to the receiving
stations. and not to the telegraph
wires along the track.
