MUCH OWED TO PUBLIC PRESS. One 8trlklng Example of ttie Value 4 of Publicity. 10 grown men and women are not llriive in a fool's paradise; if they are to know the weaknesses of the time and how to direct their reme­ dial efforts, they must be kept rea­ sonably well Informed of the evil as Well as of the good. Men will always be found to take desperate chances with their reputations, but the danger of being discovered in wrongdoing is a wholesome restraining influence on a majority of the race. A concrete s instance of the effectiveness of public­ ity is the development of public senti­ ment that has forced the reorganiza­ tion of the big life insurance compan­ ies. Had it ndt been for the news­ papers there wofild have been no in­ vestigation and had not the results of the Inquiry been printed there would have been no overturning. On the ' whole, It may fairly be Inferred that human nature is so constituted as to gain in wisdom and- morality by con­ tact with the world--a contact which the newspaper supplies.--Kansas City Star. Congressman Longworth Perseouted. Since the anouncement of his com­ ing marriage to Miss Roosevelt Con­ gressman Long worth's mail haB in­ creased fourfold. Nearly half of his letters contain recipes for promoting the growth of hair and he is offered any quantity of invaluable tonics if ha will use them and send testi­ monials in return. He gets statistics to prove that no baldheaded man has ever been known to go insane; that lack of hair is a preservative against all manner of pulmonary diseases; that criminals of all classes are noted for their growth of shaggy hair, usu­ ally straight and black, and that bald- headed men in all times and ages have stood for benevolence, lntellect- ml ripeness and law-abiding qualities. . • Coal Output of Pennsylvania. In the last calendar year more coal *as mined in the anthracite region "Of Pennsylvania than in any other twelve months In the history of the business. The output of the mines is estimated at close to 70,000,000 tons, of which more than 61,000,000 tons can be classed as the marketable out­ put This marketable output is larger than the gross output in any year prior to 1903 and the amount which is salable has more than doubled since 1884. The 40,000,000 mark was first touched for total output in 1888, the 50,000,000 mark in 1895, the 60,- 090,000 mark in 1901.--Boston Herald. Hobby of Norway's New Queen. Queen o Maud of Norway has her hobbies, like moat other European royalties. Among other things she has collect­ ed at various times are miscellane­ ous ornaments and useful articles made of Ivory, of which she is a great admirer. She has also for years collected Ivory tusks, the spoils of royal sport­ ing expeditions all over the world, and these will doubtless be added to when her brother, the prince of Wales, returns from his Indian tour --Mainly About People. Attend Opera In Mourning. Going to the opera in mourning is now admitted as a social propriety in New York, although therp Is still a question as to whether one may sit In the boxes or other conspicuous parts of the theater. But there is no doubt about the galleries. Seclusion In the boxes may also be possible and not to be seen too conspicuous­ ly seems to be the test of this new ruling in good form. It is the same underlying principle that made It right when in deep mourning to go to the German theater. * "Labby" Not a Ladies' Man. Announcement Of Henry Labou- chere's retirement from parliament roused no regret among "advanced" members of the fair sex in Great Brit­ ain. - He had no sympathy for politi­ cal women.

Invention 0T*8panlsh Engineer Has Proved Value. Telekino is the invention -.of Don Bernardo Torres Quevedo, a distin­ guished Spanish engineer, who has been experimenting successfully with an apparatus for the control of dis­ tant electric power by means of wire­ less telegraphy. He intends to apply his invention to vessels and made his public trials with them. The trans­ mitting station was a wireless tele­ graphic apparatus. The boat carried a battery of accumulators, a motor for driving the propeller, another for the rudder, and two servo motors for operating the mechanism of the other motors. The servo motors were con­ nected directly with the telekino, therewith they formed a single ap­ paratus. Hertz waves were received by the telekino; this controls the servo motors, which sent currents either to control the rudder motor or the propellor motor so as to govern both the steering and the propulsion of the boat. Tak­ ing up his position at the transmitting station, Senor Quevedo began manipu­ lating the transmitter, whereupon the boat, containing numerous press rep­ resentatives, as If by magic, slowly moved forward, gradually attaining a high speed, turning, twisting, tacking, advancing or receding Just as If it were being guided by an expert steersman. The boat executed all manner of maneuvers without a hitch under the sole guidance of the in­ ventor on shore. . ' Worry Has No Part In Her Life. Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of the vice president, declares that she does not possess nerves and it would seem that this Is no idle boast. Mrs. Fair­ banks has an iron endurance and she attributes her fortitude, mental and physical, to the fact that she has never allowed herself to worry over anything, great or trivial. But she always secures ample rest, no mat­ ter what her engagements. During the maddening days of the last D. A. R. congress, when several thousand women would talk at once on as many different themes, Mrs. Fair­ banks would endure the confusion as long as possible and then, giving the gavel to another officer, she would go to a near-by hotel and take a half hour's repose. She always drinks hot milk when she is going through men* tal or physical fatigue. « Deneen has appoin E, Sunny of Chicago as head of the hoard of trustees of the Kankakee in- Mr. Sunny is well taiown Furze May Yield Paper. "> *" The salvation of the world's paper supply may come from furze. It has been ascertained that the furze, suit­ ably treated, produces a white and solid pulp. After a boiling of five or six hours the pulp is washed with water, acidulated with sulphuric acid in suitable quantity, bleached with chloride of lime and thoroughly wash­ ed, when it is in a suitable state for use in paper manufacture. If success­ ful, this sort of paper making will open up a large class of new paper making materials and possibly prove the solution of the serious problem caused by the rapid exhaustion of the timber districts in the effort to meet the demand for wood pulp, the pres­ ent universal material.

DELAYS CUT IN FREIGHT RATES Railroad and Warehouse Commission Awaits Expert's Report. At a meeting of the Illinois railroad and warehouse commission held at Springfield no action was taken re­ garding the reduction in the freight rates of the state in the sixtti, sev­ enth, eighth, ninth and tenth classes. The experts who have been engaged to make a comparison of the data~ fur­ nished by the railroads probably will not complete their work for several days. The board entered an order compelling the C., H. £ D. railroad to put in a switch at Bolivia for the ac­ commodation of a grain company. At­ torneys for the company entered a mo­ tion for a continuance, which was oiverruled. „ ,i Father and Son Guilty* The most noted murder trial ever held in the county was concluded Sat­ urday night at Golconda in the circuit court before Judge W. W. Duncan, it having occupied the entire week. William J. Cullom land Walter Cullom, father and son, were on trial for the killing Of Roy Chamberlain, a neigh­ bor boy, June 3 last.

INTERPRETS NEW PRIMARY LAW Attorney Gives Opinion as Applied to Cities. Under the theory that the neW Illi­ nois primary election law is Intended to regulate and govern political par­ ties, Attorney General Stead, in an In­ terpretation of its applicability to cit­ ies, villages and incorporated towns having a population in = excess of 1,- 000, expresses the opinion that the law does not apply to nominations in municipalities where party lines are not drawn at city elections. As origi­ nally drawn the bill provided only for primary elections in counties, and a study of the act reveals that, as ap­ plied to cities, it has not been wholly harmonized, although, the: attorney general says, the general intention of the legislature Is evident. According­ ly, it is held, where nominations are made for village officers in a village which is not divided into wards, there would be only one polling place. Then the judges appointed for county elec­ tions would not act as judges in city elections, but the regularly constitut­ ed city and village judges would act S3 primary election judges in such cit­ ies and villages. A primary for a city or village, following the analogy, would be called by the city commit­ tee. The judges would keep the sai number of registry poll books and tal­ ly sheets as are kept by judges of primary elections In counties. The clerk must exercise his own judgment as to the method of making public an­ nouncement of the color of the bal­ lot®. Appointments by Gov. Deneen. Gov. Deneen has appointed Ernest P. Bicknell of Chicago as trustee of the State School for Girls at Geneva. Mr. Bicknell is head of the Chicago Bureau of Charities. Leroy A.

A terrific explosion occurred at the Benton Coal company's mine in ton. No one was in the mine at the time but two shot-firers. One of them, Emmet E. Neal, received injuries from which he died later, and the other, J. E. Mclntyre, narrowly escaped death. They happened to be near the air shaft in a secure nick in the wall, other­ wise they would probably have been instantly killed. Although the mine ,1s;. 640 feet deep, one of the cars was blown from the bottom of the shaft and lodged in the tipple timber. John Outhouse, who was oiling the fan on top of the ground, was blown thirty feet away. The damage to the mine will amount to $10,000, it is believed. '»tA»te board member. Dr. John C.

One hundred city clerks and attor­ neys, representing many cities of Illi­ nois, met at Blbomington Saturday in response to a call to discuss the am­ biguous features of the new primary election law. It was decided to rec­ ommend that the city shall furnish all supplies, and in addition appoint judges and clerks for the elections at a sufficiently early date that they could also serve in the primary. Many other phases of the law were discussed and uniform action was agreed upon. The initial steps were taken for the formation of an organ­ ization taking in all municipal elect­ ive officers of the state. *• Takes Year to Collect Cent. Illustrative of the governmental red tape Was the payment recently to H. C. Phares of Weldon of 1 cent which the Postofflce Department owed him. Mr. Phares was postmaster seven years, retiring a year ago. When the accounts were checked up It was found that the cent was due him, and It has taken just a year to settle the account Woman Gets $20,000 Verdict. Mrs. Carrie Upton of Chicago was given a verdict for $20,000 by Judge Brentano against the Provident Sav­ ings Lite Assurance association of New York. The woman had sued the company for that amount, alleging that it had refused to pay policies held by her husband after bis death, two years ago. The contention of the in­ surance company was that Upton had failed to pay his first premium in full, and that the company was not liable. ________ Girl Dies in Cistern. , Miss Esther Westergreen, 19 years bid, committed suicide at Sycamore by jumping into a cistern.

Mr. ichols, pastor of the African Baptist church, per­ formed the ceremony at the bride­ groom's residence. It is said that objections to the match on the part of the children and grandchildren of both parties resulted in the matter being kept a secret. Punish Would-Be 8ulclde. . An effort will be made to punish William Hoover for attempted sqicide. He was sent to jail at Bloomington to await the grand Jury's action. He sought to end his life ,by swallowing carbolic acid, slashing his arteries with knives and finally, when locked up In jail, by lacerating his body with his teeth.

NAVAL MI3HAPS TOO FREQUBM# Furnish Ideal Power for High Speed at 8ea. The good ship that recently crossed the stormy brine on Its maiden voy­ age from Liverpool to New York is the ploner in a new era of transatlan­ tic Steam navigation. Its engine was a turbine. The word turbine comes from the Italian turbo, meaning whirl­ wind or revolving, explaining the ac­ tion of the steam in the turbine en­ gine. The draft, the drum and the projectng blades or valves are blown around at great speed with smooth and even motion and with a total ab­ sence of the vibration which is pres­ ent even in the highest types and most perfectly balanced engines of the reciprocating variety. The speed attained was 20 knots, but in the new great flyers now building twenty- five knots 1b to be attained. With re­ ciprocating engines as power it is thought the size and speed of steam­ ships has been reached, Blnce there is a limit to the strength of hulls. But turbine engines, small, simple and compact, entirely free from vibra­ tions, capable of developing far great­ er horsepower, have been termed the Ideal power for high speed at sea. WAS* CLAS8MATE OF BISMARCK. Death Of Last Man Who Graduated With Chancellor. The last of the nineteen classmates of Bismarck who graduated with him from the gymnasium In Berlin In the spring of 1832 has just died in that city, A simple clergyman, Von Han- stein by name, he gave shortly be­ fore his death an eloquent description of Bismarck the boy--"happy, buoy­ ant, able and popular." Sixty-three years after their graduation the five other survivors recalled themselves to their distinguished classmate by a round robin headed by Von Hansteln which reached Bismarck on his birth­ day, April 1, and received a tele­ graphic acknowledgment before all the other messages which poured In on him. Curiously enough. Von Han- Bteln by common consent was made custodian of the longer reply which Bismarck sent, as if with knowledge that he would survive the others and Bismarck, too.

The wife of a whaling captain has recently proceeded to sea with her husband, from New Bedford, on a two- years' cruise, she having signed ar­ ticles as assistant navigator, and be­ ing entitled to wages and bonus. Ac­ tually she will do the navigating, working out the barque's position every day, and If anything befell her husband she would be capable of tak­ ing the vessel home. "The only wom­ an sailor who goes to the whaling grounds," is the title conferred on the captain's wife. The women of New Bedford gave her a reception shortly before she sailed. Suspicion That Officers Are taeoil* petent or Negligent. Popular judgment will be suspended until a naval court of Inquiry shall have placed the responsibility for the mishap that overtook Admiral Evans* battleship squadron while making its way out of New York harbor. A pilot was aboard the flagship and the others were following in close forma­ tion. The pilot knew his business, for his vessel went through unscathed, and It remains to be seen why the four others could not follow their leader. A long and continuous list of accidents to naval vessels, any one of which would have ended the career of a captain in the merchant service, more than suggests that too many naval officers are incompetent or neg­ ligent and that these frequent evi­ dences of shortcomings come to pu!)» lie notice so often because proper ex* amples are not made "of those who have been found at fault--Cleveland Plain Dealer Republicans Elect Treasurer.

Bread and Water for Topers. Mayor Scherff, new reform execu­ tive of Marion, Ohio, proposes to pun­ ish habitual topers by putting them on a diet of bread and water for forty-eight hours or more whenever they are arrested. He believes that this would be the mj>st effective pun­ ishment that could be devised and will put It into practice at once. In the past all typical "soaks" were kept In durance vile until sober and were then released. Mayor Scherff, before his election, was a workman In one of the local factories. With the first day of his administration Marlon has changed from a wide-open town to a strictly law-abiding municipality. Russian Officers Dissatisfied. It is said that Prince Napoleon, now in the Russian service as gov­ ernor general of the Caucus, recently objected to having soldiers Are on un­ armed mobs of workmen.
