Last Friday Night. Workings as
Claimed, Almost Beyond Belief.

This is wonderful age OF progress
and it would seem as if the world was
again going to he revolutionized by the
introduction of the wireless telephone.
Were it not for the positive proofs to
sustain their contentious, some of the
things claimed for the system would be
beyond belief
The meeting held at Decker K Bailey 5
real estate office last Friday evening was
well attended and i, teresting through
out A II Rothenal, the district rep
reseutative, gave a detailed description of
the workings of the new wireless system
which are certainly wonderful. 1t Is
claimed that it will be possible to talk
from moving train to a boat on the
lake or from one moving train to anoth.
er moving train, from a boat to NOV
ing train or from a stationary object to
moving object, all wire line can do
and thousands of things that wire
cannot do. The patents are all protected
for from II years to n years and the eX-
pense of installing the system will be
lessened b, the elimination of wires,

be absent from the expense account.
There wall oe practical demonstra-
ton next Friday on boat running be
tween Chicago and Michigan City Con-
versatons VIII be held from the land to
the boat aud vice versa.
The proposition is a most wonderful
and instructive one for investigation and
the universalinstallation of this system of
communication is probably a matter Of
only few years The parent stock Of
the company has all been sold as has
also the great lakes stock. Towers are
already in process of erection and other

THE PLAN OF AN
OCEAN BOULEVARD

ernor mapping out a plan of operations. There is to be a total
construction of 800 miles of State roads, consisting, first, of an
ocean boulevard, which is TO run a mile inland at Ocean Grove
to accommodate the private corporation at that resort, and, second,
of a connecting system of roads tapping every county seat. This
will be convenient for motorists who visit the seashore.. The re-
ceipts from the automobile tax, which was originally given to the
counties to help out the expense of maintenance and repairs of
the improved roads, will, according to the commissions plan, con
tribute to the cost of the proposed new system. Before the State
shall be committed to the large expense involved in the plan
adopted it will be necessary to carefully consider the various needs
of the State institutions. The presence in the State treasury of
an artifcialycreated surplus, in large part made at the expense
of the municipalities, has already had the effect to suggest money
spending projects not relating to the real necessities of the State.
Half a dozen new armories are already proposed. Economy has
been impressed on the managers of the State institutions, and
there would be systematic economy if all the institutional sup.
plies were bought in bulk, but economy that unfavorably affects the
States charges while money is being appropriated for objects that
can wait is no economy at all. The first care of the Legislature
Is the vital needs o. the departments of the State government and
the welfare of its institutions.

ton was voluntary. But the phrase,

A Practical Christians rdea.

To the Editor ofsthe Evening Star:
Dear Sir-Men like Alderman
Timothy P. Sullivan, widely known
as Little Tim who died in New
York city last night, and the late
Patrick Sheedy were Of material
benefit to the needy of the COM
munity i'm which they were reared
and lived. They knew the necessi-
ties of the poor and how to relieve
them without making the recipients
feel they were considered mendi-
cants, and they never refused to
assist a person in need, even tramps.
Sheedy was a gambler for years,
but he always played fair and
square, and, as he said just before
he died, the men who fleece invest
ors in Wall street were worse
gamblers. Sullivan was a politi-
clan. He never drank Intoxicating
liquors or smoked, though he min
gled day and night with men who
drank and smoked. His life was
clean. When he was taken i'll he
was arranging to give a great many
poor children Christmas presents.
1t would be we'll for every conn
munity if it had more men like Sui
livan and Sheedy. Those men were
looked down upon by men who
boast of being church members, and
by some ministers of the Gospel,
men who are supposed to follow the
example of the Master, who said
He wanted little children to come
unto Him. And yet I know some
who will not give a little time to
distribute Christmas toys and
sweets to children. I would rather
take chances of going to heaven
with Sullivan and Sheedy than any
of those who are "a loafin' around
the Great White Throne"
