Evver cents that time Willyum and Tam merny have eat at the same tabul without enny hard feelings.
 Willyum has been intimating to them up in New York for long time, that if the nomminasion for Guvvemor was thrust upon him, that he would acsept it.

He told them just where they could reech him oyver long distance if they want ed him to take up the gonfalcun and storm the Republican heights he sed that he had newer stormed the Republicon heights with gonfalcun, but he was willing to try.

DAMAGES FOR ISLANDER
Jury Gives Judgment for
$500 Against Dean
Talbot.

CHICAGO. April 6-The jury in the
case Of Miss Esther Mercy in her slander
suit against Miss Marion Talbot. dean
of women. at the University of Chicago.
for 100000 damages. this morning re-
turned a verdict giving the plaintiff judg-
ment for $500.
AS the clerk finished reading the YER
dict there was faint cheer from the
crowd and the baiiffs quickly raped
for order.
Miss Mercy, who sat with Warren Rey-
nolds. her finance, and her mother,
smiled.
''Of course, I am satisfied with the
verdict of the jury" she said. II would
have been satisfied with any kind of a
judgment as long as it vindicated me-"
The sensational slander suit had its
inception in the disappearance Of a bunch
Of aigrettes from a Northumberland
fifty dollar hat owned by Miss Mercy
while she was living at the home Of q
relative of Dean Albion w. Small Of the
University Of Chicago and attending that
institution as student
Miss Mercy alleged that when she re-
ported the loss she was threatened with
arrest if she made the matter public
university by Dean Talbot after an al
legged stormy interview. in the course of
which the student says the official made
remarks rejecting on her character.
Miss Talbot denied this charge and de-
clared that Miss Mercy was expelled be-
cause her veracity had been brought into
question.

TESTS DURING ECLIPSE.
Effect of Suns Rays on Carrying
Power of Wireless to Be Shown.

NEW YORK. April GA series OF not
able experiments in wireless telegraphy
is to be tried in Paris April . during an
eclipse OF the sun. which will obscure
four-fifths OF the suns rays. 1t has been
noticed by scientists that the distance
over which wireless messages can be dis
patched varies greatly according to the
time Of day and the direction.
A message sent by rapid vibrations.
which will not carry more than 200 miles
during the day. can be sent two or three
times that distance at sunset, especially
toward the south. When slower vibra-
tions are used IL can be transmitted fur
ther during the day.
It is believe dthat these curious facts
are due to the activity OF the so-called
ultra violet rays OF the sun. the theory
being that these rays are a powerful fac
tor in the energy Of the Hertzan waves.
The eclipse, when a great part Of these
rays will be suddenly cut OH, will be an
ideal occasion for decisive tests. and the
wireless station on the Eiffel tower will
send messages continuously from lit
tie before the eclipse until a little after
it in several directions.
