WIRELESS MESSAGES
Caught Every Night by Roy Reach at
 His Fathers House.

Wireless messages fitting nightly across a waste of water along the Massachusetts coast and then inland for many miles, maintaining commu- nication between vessels and shore stations, find here in Danielson an unregistered station to which the sound waves transmit in dots and dashes the wandering stories of the night. Two hours before midnight Roy Reach, stationed in his room at his fathers house on Main street, regulates his wireless receiving ap- paratus, slips on his headpiece and sits down to hear the mariners tell how they are faring out at sea, what the shore stations have to tell them in the way of business, and the many other things that go fitting through space in the form of wireless messag ges. From 10 until F o'clock the receiving wires on the spire of the Congrega- tional church intercept the radiating intelligence, the electric spark in the Reach home snaps and sputters, and the message and then except for an occasional fitful flash of news, business ceases for the night.
 The study of wireless telegra phy has fascinated the young man for sev- eral years and the results he is achiev- ing towards mastering the subject are the result of close application to his search for knowledge and careful ob- servation of the mechanical means employed

CELLO D'AMouR.
Valuable Old Instrument Secured by
 George w. Nash.

George W. Nash has a rare old mu- sical instrument which he secured this week from a man in a nearby rural community. "Cello d'Amour" is the instrument which in this day is practically unknown, as the manufsc- ; ture of them ceased more than one hundred years ago. Shaped like a violin, 1t Is much larger and is what might be termed cross between a cello and viola. The strings are ar ranged the same as on a cello. A century and a quarter has probably elapsed since the sweet, mellow tones of the instrument first gave pleas ure to the possessor yet today it is in good condition and in the hands of an artist it's power to charm is as potent as ever. Mir. Nash will scrape off several coats of hard oil that have been applied to preserve it, and re- finish the instrument.
 Bodies Brought from Providencs.
 The bodies of MT and Mrs. A. H. Skinner, who died in Providence were brought to Danielson on a Thursday evening train and taken to the un- dertaking rooms of A. r. Wood

DANlELSON AND PUTNAM NEWS.

names and an exhibit of some of the twisted brass wire snares used by the trappers The petition prays that some one of the bills be reported fa- vorably and the wire snares were taken along to impress on the commit tee that the use of them meant un- humane treatment for the foxes ana danger to domestic animals. From the western part of the state another exhibit of steel traps, used for catch ing foxes. was sent in-traps describ- ed by one man, at the hearing as hav- ing teeth like Knives in moving ma chine and resembling the torture work ing devices of mediaeval Europe The meA from the western part or the state told how dogs were so badly injured by stepping in the traps that 1t was necessary to kill them. One Of the Danielson men who talked before the committee against snaring cited an in- stance where a trapper had caught in his snares five foxes and six dogs. The arguments were not all on one side however. Trappers from various sections of the state were present and made arguments in their own defence. Sharing is a money making proposi- tion with them and they are natural ly opposed to any Legislation that Will reduce the revenue that the practice brings. The petitioners for stricter regulation of the matter or snarlhs are sensible of the fact that foxes are not friends of the farmers, or benefit to the state, but for the pro tection of domestic animals and in the interest of true sport they want the liberties of the rowing pot hunters re- restricted within proper bounds.

 All of them had almost entirely re- covered from their debauch with the execution of one old hen who SO far forgot her motherly duties to leave her 13 chickens to the mercy of rats, cats and dogs.
 Mrs. Thompson discovered some wine which had soured and che carried it to the chicken yard without an Idea of the consequences, A big rooster took the first "snifter." and sent out a cali for all the feathered tribe to join him. and in the hen language they ex- changed the oft-repeated story of the governors of North and South Carolina. until all were keeled over. first indulg- ing in the usual rough house tactics of fighting everyone in reach.

po a, W.lI as rh.x Know.

Mir. Carnegie says thai members of congress do not know enough to make the tariff or remake 1t. They are ig- norant of the conditions at home, and especially abroad, which have so irn- portant a bearing on tiiis intricate matter. Besides. they are not disin- terested. and are embarrassed by poh- tics. The evidence before them is usually that of selfish interests, often themselves deceived by on exaggerated view of the immediate effects Of the tariff upon themselves. These are all recognized truths which have been pointed out before now by others whe have been called (we think by MT. Carnegie himself) deetrinaireS for thinking and saying so. Mfr. Carnegie would put the tariff into the hands of a commission of experts not members of congress: an industrial courN he calls it. capable Of dealing not 6Axy with the details of the tariff. but with the greater rising problem of the con- trol of misunderstanding nnonopctr, which he considers the coming question be- fore the country.
