Camille"

Camille one of the worlds great
dramatic classics. will be revived next
week by the Poll Players. This cee-
brated stage story from the pen of Alex
ander Dumas. the younger. is not fan
tastic romance but great human docu-
ment. IL tells of loved and loving
woman who actually lived. Marguerite
Gauthier. the heroine of the romance,
was not an imaginary person. In real
life she was Marie Duplessis, and in
1873 she was the reigning beauty of
Paris and the toast of all the clubs. She
was remarkable for her dazzling beauty
and a certain nobility of character COM
bined with natural distinction. Not
withstanding the facts of her private life,
she bore an air of native innocence.
The story which Dumas has written
around her life makes one of the great
est acting plays in the history of the
stage. Its central character has spurred
the ambition of no less than Nine. Sarah

TELEGRAPH ALPHABET.
Adoption of Universal Code Matter
of Time in United States.

From the Telegraph and Telephone Age
That the adoption of the Universal
telegraph alphabet in the United States
is a matter of only short time we
have excellent reason to believe. There
are signs on every hand that the propo-
sition is receiving serious consideia-
ton. although little has as yet been
expressed publicly in words, and there
will be no sentiment involved when the
change is made-it will be A clean-cut
business proposition.
As we have iterated and reiterated.
we honor Prof Morse for the great
benefits he bestowed upon mankind
when he invented the telegraph. That
fact. in itself. is an everlasting monu-
ment to his name and fame. but for us
of the present day 20 cling to an
antiquated code of Geographic signals
just because Prof. Morse designed il,
and ignore the scientific and practical
necessities of modern times, is no more
defensible than il would have been
for our predecessors to have failed TO
make use of the improved locomotive
or the swifter steamer. because the
originals of these types We're good enouga
The objection to the sacrifice of Few OF
the Morse characters in favor OF more
safe and scientific symbols denotes stag
nation of the mind, and savors too much
of the idea that if thing has served
well in the past ii must necessarily
answer every requirement of the present
and of the future.
As We have stated before, sentiment is
all right in its place. and is necessary
and potent force in the world but there
are other things to consider IN dealing
with everyday facts.
Many telegra pliers have the idea that
the adoption of the so-called Continental
or Universal alphabet is equivalent to the
total humiliation of the Morse code, but
this is not true. The Continental code is
just as much Morse as is the so-called
Morse alphabet itself What Morse did
was to adopt the use of dots and dashes
and spaces in making up his alphabet.
The Continental code is simply slight
variation of the combination of the dots
and dashes, and the omission of the
spaces, as compared with the American
or Morse code. AS time went on the
weak points of the latter were discerned.
and in order to strengthen them the Con-
tinental code was devised. That it was
an improvement on the original is evident
from the fact that it Is now used in every
country in the world except the United
States and Canada. and so long as the
latter two countries fail to fall in line
they will be excluded from fuller partici-
patton in the work of formulating rules
and regulations for the guidance of the
Geographic administrations throughout
the world. The rules and regulations oil
the International Telegraph Union are
based upon the Continental OF Universal
alphabet. and are binding upon the
United States, although the latter have no
vote in their preparation.

An Ancient Problem.
From the Dallas News. ...

From the Dallas News.
Some newspapers are talking about
the question as to whether the hen
sits or sets We do not care which
she does We know that she gets there
just the same.-Jacksonville (Tex)
Progress.
The hen does both-she sits and she
sets When she is merely resting her
body on the ground she is sitting.
When she is spread out over a nest
full of eggs and dreaming of posterity
she is setting. 1t is the same with the
orb of day. When it is sinking to rest
behind the western hills it is setting,
but when it is seated at the council
board of the armament. with Jupiter
and Saturn and Mars and the rest of
the heavenly heavyweights. it is sit
ting. So with us-when we start to-
ward some place we set out to go
there. and after we get there we sit
and rest. Those are the facts of to
case. but we expect them to be dis
puted. Folks have been disputing over
the question of whether a hen sits or
sets as long as they have been argu-
ing the priority of the egg or the bird.
Nobody has ever authoritatively de-
cided either contention, and everybody
has an equal right with everybody
else to promulgate an arbitrary ruling.
