INVENTOR OF TELEP0ST
BEGAN AS WIRE OPERATOR,

Has Now Received Highest Honors
For His Achievements In Rapid Te-
lesraphy.
MANY Of the prominent men Of the
time began their careers In the COM
paratively humble calling Of the tele-
graph operator" says Leslie's Weekly.
Zone of the most successful Of these IS
Patrick Bernard Delany of New York,
whose inventions in improving teleg'
raphy have attracted worldwide atten'
ton. Born in Ireland, Mr.. Delany was
brought to this country when a lad, be,
came an excellent telegraph operator at
the age Of sixteen and at eighteen was
one Of the most expert press operators
in the land. Afterward he rose to high
positions in various telegraph compa-
MES and later was associated with
Mr.. Edison in rapid telegraphy exper-
iments and began his work as an in
ventor. He devised the famous anti,
Page relay for which he received q
considerable sum-, and invented the
anti-induction cable. the patents OF
which netted him over 100000.
Turning his attention to synchro'
nous multiplex telegraphy, he perfect
ed a system whereby six Morse cir
cults were obtained from a single
wire and was awarded for It the
highest prize at the international In
ventions exhibition in London In 1885.
Mr.. Delany twenty-one years ago
equipped a laboratory at South Or
ange, n. j.. and devoted his time to
automatic rapid ~telegraphy, in which
he has had great success, his appara-
tus transmitting a thousand words a
minute over a single wire. This Is re-
garded by experts as n Of the greatest
achievements in the telegraphic line

The closing exercises of the Wellington

ing and a large crowd had assembled in
The large hall or the second floor and the
exercises had started when Mr.. Cade OF
Mt. Carmel arose from the audience and
stated that the middle column supporting
to leave the center Of the hall. 1t seems
that Mr.. Cade and others had gone into
the recitation rooms under the hall and
had heard timbers cracking, and fearing
lest the floor should give way and pre-
cipitate the crowd into the rooms below,
made the announcement. Many people
left the hall and some of the parents Of
the pupils naturally were uneasy about
their children who were on the stage,
and sent for them which made 1t i'm
possible to present the drills and plays,
so it was deemed wise to conclude the
exercises. People from miles around
had assembled at the school house to be
present at the entertainment and they
and the patrons OF the schools and
children and teachers were all disappoint-

trustees was held Saturday and it was
decided to give the entertainment Thurs

WHERE DID CASTRO GET IT?

Monopolies and Foreign interests the
Sources of the Venezuelan Presi-
dents European Bank Deposits.
Estimates Of the amount of money
that President Castro Of Venezuela
thrlftily deposited in Europe prior to
his fight vary all the way from $1O,-
100000 to $GO,OO0,O0O. Where did he
get it? is the natural question. Most
Of his wealth has come from monopo-
lies out of which he has received the
lions share. The latest and one Of
the most ingenious Of these monopo-
lies was the sole right to butcher cat
tie. This was said to produce q net
income Of $4,000 a day, as the cattle
raisers were forced to sell their AMI
mails for almost nothing in the absence
of competition.
Foreigners Of all nations. as we'll US
the Venezuelans, have contributed to
Castro's European bank deposits.
After four years Of exploitation the
receiver" of the New York and Serml-
dez company's asphalt property turne
into the Venezuelan treasury only S.
600 as the net proceeds Of four years
sales, amounting to about half a mil
lion dollars at the mine. All but S.
600 Of this sum, the receiver stated,
was absorbed by Expenses and i'm
provements." The receiver" neglect
cd to mention the profits derived from
the sale Of the asphalt here. Added to
the half million dollars charged to "ex-
penses and improvements" the profits
made on the sale Of refined asphalt
make an enormous sum, which has
been divided between Castro and his
American business associates.
But the cattle and asphalt CRAFTS are
only samples Of the sources from
which Castro has enriched himself at
the expense of his OWL people and for
eign interests in Venezuela.

Plea For the Protection Of American

bureau Of American republics. Of which
the cornerstone was laid in April. is
not to be a memorial to the ruin OF
United States interests in a number OF
these republics, our government must
establish a reputation for frmness
when these interests are attacked

with the completion of the isthmian
canal these interests, which are al
ready estimated at a valuation OF
81, 1000, 900, 900, will be largely increased.
A policy as just as 1t Is unyielding
when necessity requires will mean the
salvation Of existing investments and
the protection Of the investor Of the
future.
"The fact that q definite remedy Is
required was impressed anew upon the
United States by the unsuccessful ef-
fort on the part Of the state depart
ment to secure arbitration Of FIVE long
pending American claims against Ven
ezuela.
1.-THE merits Of these particular cases
is not, however, the question Of imme-
date Importance. This question IS,
What effect must be expected from q
policy which involves the abandon
ment Of citizens whose wrongs have
been declared to the world? If redress
is not to be exacted for these wrongs,
what fate can other despoiled Amert-
can citizens expect in Central and
South America when menaced by un-
scrupulous governments?
1.-The definite remedy demanded in
wolves no more than the assertion Of a
policy Of insisting upon prompt and
thorough redress Of injuries. 1t would
not be difficult for the United States to
establish such a reputation for protect
ing the interests Of its citizens IN
South America that these interests
would rarely be attacked. All the

Composition on Columbus.

About four hundred and fifty years ago
there was born In Genoa 1talya boy who
to become famous as the discoverer
Of q new world. Columbus was a son OF q
wood-comber and was made to earn his
fathers trade, but he learned to read also
and studied all the good books he could
get. Where he lived was a famous city
which travellers and traders came to from
all parts of the know world.
Columbus was fond Of seeing and listen
ing to the strangers, and he loved to go to
wharves and examine the ships, from the
different parts. When he was only thirteen
years old he became a sailor. His early
voyages were matte only in the Mediter-
raneon Sea, at length he ventured to pass
through the Straight Of Gibraltar into the
unknown ocean always studying and
learning.
Columbus had become convinced that
the world was round and that by sailing
westward he would come 10 the eastern
limits of Asia.
The sailors on the little ships soon be-
came discouraged. Columbus never lost
hope nor courage. After two months sail
ing they saw birds which ;could not have
come q very long way and objects floating
IN the sea WHICH seem to nave come from
the land. So Columbus expecting soon to

This land was not as Columbus supposed
the continent Of Asia. 1t was the Bahama
Island, from it the voyage passed on to
other Island and sailed along the shores OF
Cuba and Hayti. The inhabitants Of these
Islands were @ simple kindly folks who
thought the white men had been brought
to visit them from the skies by the great
white-winged birds as they imagined the
ships. To be certain that he had come to
India, Columbus called the red skinned ma
tives Indians and the Island where he
found them received the name OF the
on the different Island he collected plants,
animals and birds. After eight months he
returned to Spain, accompanied by some
Indians. The King and Queen received
him with great rejoicing AMI honor.
In 1893 Columbus again left Spain dis
covered Jamaica and the Adjacent Islands
and established in Hayti a colony which
met with poor success. In 1893 Columbus
made a third voyage and touched on the
coast of South America. Hs then returned
to Hayti as Governor Of the colony but
was supereded by n Boradilla and was
sent back in chains to Spain.
The Spaniards were seeking eagerly for
goldand jewels. At first they really thought
that Columbus had found India, the land
Of spices, jewels and gold. They readily

was a boy the Turkes were trying to keep
the people of Europe from trading in India
the people were anxious to find some way
to get to India without having the Turkes

Why Salves Fail to Cure Eczema.

Scientists are now agreed that the ecze-
ma germs are lodged not in the outer skin
or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence,
a penetrating liquid is required, not an
outward salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema patients
the standard prescription Oil Of Winter
green as compounded in liquid form known
as D. d. D. Prescription. A trial bottle OF
this d. D. d. Prescription, at only % cents,
will instantly relieve the itch. We have
sold and recommended this remedy for
years. and know Of wonderful cures from
its usn. We recommend it to our patrons.
