o'clock last night the thermometer

The coldest night of the season

yesterday the mercury raised only
two degrees, in spite of the continual
sunshine. A cold wind from the north
played large part in the weather
yesterday toward keeping the warmth
away, as it was an icy blast coming
from the cold regions in the vicinity
of Portland and Washington cities.
According to the forecast of the
weather men, both in this city AMI

going to continue for a few days yet,
but this morning these predictions
were on the verge of being reversed,
by a southeast wind and probably
warm winds.

REFUSED TO BUY TELEGRAPH
Morse Patent Offered to the Govern
ment for $780, 0o-NoW Capital
lied at $500, 100000.

Siyty.five years ago. on April !, Pro-
lessor Morse, accompanied by his as
sociates, stood before congress and
offered to sell the patents on the cleo
trio telegraph for 100000. After
long and bitter debate congress appro-
priated $4,000 for the construction OF
a line between Washington and Baltl-
more in order that the merits OF the
invention might be fully tested, says
Electric News.
II Is recorded that President Polk
thought the invention a good thing for
the government to own, but the post
master general, in long report, gave
as his opinion that the revenues could
never be made to cover the expendi-
lures in the telegraphing of messages.
Today. in this country alone, the Morse
systems are capitalized at $22O,000,0oo.
But this little anecGote IS seldom
told by the officials of the Western
Union Telegraph company, for it is a
matter of history that Prof. Alexander
Graham Bell offered to sell his tele-
phone patents to the telegraph COM
pany for the paltry sum Of $4,000, but
the officials of that company smiled
and declared the invention toy, with
no numerical value. Today there are
more than five million telephones in
use in this country, earning 10000
900 annually. .t D.

KING IN QUEST OF A BRIDE
Portugars Youthful Ruler Has Search
ed In Vain for Suitable Wife
to Share Throne.

Young King Manuel of Portugal is
looking for suitable bride, but none
of the marriageable princesses of Eu-
rope seems to be over-anxious to share
his somewhat unstable throne. His
failure to secure wife during his re-
cent tour is source of great disap-
pointment not only to Manuel himself
but to his advisers.
Manuel is not wealthy as monarchs
go. His civil list is just $1,000 day,
and it was hoped he would be able to
make match with popular princess
possessing large means in her OWE
right. The father of one princess was
strongly opposed to the alliance, not
that he disliked the young Portuguese
king, but because Of the unsettled state
of the country. ..-
Since the assassination of the late
King Carlos and his eldest son, the
| condition of Portugal has not i'm
| proved, and there are fears that be-
| fore very long serious trouble Will
break out. A well-known Portuguese
politician, in letter to prominent
Englishman, says that the people are
intensely dissatisfied with the existing
regime and the growing influence OF
the old clericalism at court, and II re-
forms are not quickly initiated and the
members of the old camarilla dismissed
a revolution may break out at any mo-
mert. .....'
There is, of course, the alternative
of Manuers abdication and the success
sion of his uncle, the Infante Alfonso
duke of Oporto, a man of forty-five.
