New TELEGRAPH Code.

A new form Of code chart for sim.
plifying the teaching Of the Cont.
mental telegraph code has been
evolved by a Chicago inventor. In
place Of the usual method Of repre-
senting the different te~legraphic equiv.
alents for letters and figures in the
form Of dots and dashes, the charac-
tiers are indicated by small and large
letters or figures; the former repre-
senting the dots and the latter the
dashes. For instance, the letter "A"
Is represented as "a A." meaning dot
dash. The letter "B" Is shown as "B
bib" or dash dot dot dot. Thus, by
this simple method, the inventor has
eliminated the great confusion arising
from the dash-dot representations Of
the various characters. The letters
and figures are fixed in the memory
of the student as large and small
characters instead of in the form of a
complicated mass Of letters, figures
and combinations of dots and dashes.
1t Is stated that this chart has greatly
simpliled the learning of the code.

FINALLY GOT HIS INTERVIEW
Death Of James CreeIman Recalls Re-
markable Exploit Of News-
paper Man.

James Creelman's death In Germany
while still in the prime Of life recalls
an exploit of which any newspaper
reporter might be proud, observes the
Wall Street Journal. BE was in Lon
don at the time Of the Barring crisis in
1890, and performed the ~unheard-of
feat of securing for the New York Her
aid an exclusive interview with the
governor Of the Bank Of England.
It is a matter of history how the gov
ernor, the right Hon. William H. Lid
derdale, handled that crisis. He lived
to see the Earrings successfully liquid
ated and stronger than ever, with the
financial situation In Argentina re-
stored, the $4,000, 900 gold which he
borrowed by means of acceptances
from the Bank OF France returned In
due course with the seals of the pack
ages u%nbroken. The London market
was tided over a desperate emergency
with the minimum of disturbance, al
though there were some forty failures
In the stock exchange.
Lidderdale died not long ago, leav-
ing an estate valued at only $4,000.
He was a strong mar and an honest
one. But the idea of interviewing him
was so remote that only an irreverent
American would have thought of 1t.
Creelman had no pass key or letters
OF Introduction. He simply went to
the Bank OF England, and starting
with the astonishing "beadle," worked
his way up. He was sent from depart
ment to department, to the secret
amusement of various heads, until he
actually found himself in the pres
nee OF the governor.
But the joke failed to explode. Lid
derdale was a long-headed S%cotchman,
much too intelligent not to see the
value Of publicity at such a time. He
was no slave to precedent. He gave
Creelman an excellent interview of a
frank and reassuring character, which
was published in the following Sun
days New York Herald. 1t vas a
great scoop; and the London papers
spent money frantically on cable toll
getting facts on their W situation
from New York for their Monday
morning issue.
A precedent was set, and since that
time English f1nanciers have been
more approachable. 1t may be said
also that publicity there, as in Wall
street, has done much to clean up ad-
mitted evils, and to set honest finance
right with public opinion. The story
is well worth recalling, for 1t has an
obvious moral which should never be
forgotten.

IS HE SUPPOSED TO EsPoUsE

Consensus Of Cases Seems to Show

Wife and All Her Relatives
How It Works.

Does a man marry his wife's fam.

prominent society woman declared not
long ago that he does, no matter what
he thinks about II and more recently
a prominent college professor made
the same statement.
Looking around among ones ac-
Quaintances, for evidence, 1t is a pref.
ty general fact that the wife's family
is more in evidence than the hus-
bands. One hears more of the wife's
kin, and the children seem to be bet
ter acquainted with relatives on the
maternal side.
When mothers relatives come avis

more or less amiably by the entire

And yet, on the whole, the wife's
relatives seldom do the amount OF
damage that a husbands relatives can
do, once they determine to make
themselves felt.
When a husbands mother decides
that his children are not being
brought up right, or that his wife Is
extravagant or a poor h~Ousekeeper,
etc, and that her interference Is nee

for the mans wife but even more 80

that Is, what | want to accomplish,
Next | consider what thoughts and
what organization OF those thoughts
will be best fitted to accomplish that
object. And, third, In arranging those
thoughts ! endeavor to make of them
not a chain but a river, to make
my argument cumulative, not merely
logical, so that the last thoughts will
be not merely the conclusion but the
climax of the thoughts that have gone
before. This | generally do without
the use of pen or pencil. Usually,
however, l jot down In a notebook or
