THE -PITTSBUEG DISPATCH, MONDAY. MAT 4, .I89L
, ist.wbo nmkes the sale. If to an irresponsi-
bie party he comes tinder the law.
"If anyone wants to make an information
against the man from whom Mr. Stroup se
cures his Jiquirs," continued the lawyer,
"he can he called up to show cause why his
license khall not be revoked. Of course, it
would have to be proven that he has vio
lated the Brooks law as it stauds. It is a
difficult nitter to judge a case until the
evidence is in on both sides. Mr. Stroup
has acted injudiciously, to say the least,
and I would think that he has settled his
future chances for securing a license for his
place.
License Conrt Jadccs Vindicated
"His actions since his refusal have only
shown that the decision of the judges was
ri-rbt. There have been other things, of
which the public knows nothing. It is re
ported quietly at the Court House that one
of the judges received a letter from a man
asking for a private personal -interview on
behalf of Mr. Stroup. The letter loudly
insinuated that Mr. Stroup was anxious to
have a license at any cost. Of course, the
judge paid no attention whatever to the let
ter. Mr. Stroup's actions in the matter,
since the refusal of the license, have been
very queer, to siy the least, and it U only
evidence that he is not the man fbr a license,
though his place is first-class."

A Quiet Snntlay I tiio Result of Superin
tendent Mtitlr Crusade.
Superintendent of Police Muth, of Alle
gheny, gave his men orders yesterday morn
ing to arrest every man seen drunk on the
streets yesterday. He also gave the ser--
geaut orders to find out if possible where
any prisoners arrested for that offense
secured their liquor. But owing to the
active crusade the Superintendent has in
augurated, and especially against Sunday
violators, only one prisoned was caught.
That mau was arrested by Detectives Steele
and Johnson, on Anderson street, near the

Senator Stockbridge and Congressman J.
C. Burrows, of Michigan, were passengers
on the limited, going home last evening.
Since Mr. Burrows was here a week ago,
attending the Americus Club banquet, he
has shaved off his mustache, and it has so
changed his appearance that he is hard to
recognize. He said he was dclishted with
his reception in Pittsburg, and added that
it was one of the cities that required (it
least a week, and not a day, to see. He is
one ot the visitors to "West Point this year,
and intends to stop here again in June while
on bis way to the military academy.
"Why, you seem to have fallen in love
with Pittsburg, Burrows," remarked Sena
tor Stockbridge.
"Well, I am sure I will never forget my
visit to this city," he answered, "and I
hope to return often. "We had a good time
at the banquet, and the town is full of eood
fellows."
Since last week Mr. Burrows thinks the
sentiment in favor of Harrison has grown
wonderfully. He has been iu Washington,
and he feels sure the President will be re
nominated. He wanted to know how many
tin-plate nulls were in operation iu'l'itts
burg." He hoped the local men would go
into the business as soon as possible, to
demonstrate the wisdom of the tariff. He
said the Democrats will make a fight on the
tin-plate duty, but be didn't waut anybody
to be frightened bv their threats.
Senator Stockbridge, who is a fine-looking
old man, claimed to be tired and hungry.
He said the political world was quiet, and
it was too far ahead to predict about 1892.
Mr. Burrows thought the Pennsylvania Re
publicans woVild maKe no mistake in elect
ing Dalzell President o'f the State League.
Iii reference to the Congressman's reported
candidacy for the Senate against Quay, he
remarked that the latter had a great many
friends in the State who would stick to
him.
SOME HOESE TALK
A Jockey Claims That Snnoi Can't Break
the Kecord of Maaa S.
A number of fine horses from the Phila
delphia stables of Robert Steel were taken
to Cleveland yesterday to be put up at the
combination sale. One of the jockeys said
he had seen Smiol this year attempt to break
the record of Maud S. The little mare made
the first half mile at the rate of 2:04, but then
broke and'went all to pieces. The jockey
said it was the worst break he everjsaw, and
convinced him that Mr. Bonner's wonder
can't keep up its speed for a mile.
He said Allerton, an Iowa horse with a
record of 2.13, was a great animal and had
lots of sand, but he required careful nursing
a his joints would stiffen over night He
expects to see Allerton lower his record,
however, this summer. He thinks Axtell,
in the hands of Bndd Dable, will blossom
out once more as a trotter. Axtell is a pe
culiar horse.and so farhisTerre Haute owner
has failed to understand him. Under proper
management he might be able to beat
his record of 2:12, but many followers
of the races believe he bas seen bis best
days. Senator Stanford, of California, is a
great admirer of Axtell, and at onetime
last winter ppoke of buying him for his Cal
ifornia breeding farms. Axtell's speed
seems to have come to him suddenly. At
one time, with a record of 230, he was con
sideted an ordinary stallion. C. W. Will
iams, the original owner, certainly has had
wonderful luck in securing two such fast
horses as Axtell and .Allerton in succession.
The latter couldn't be bought to-day for
S100.000, and the former was sold for
5105,000.
DELAHATES IS SILEHT.
A Brother of the Bx-Senator, Declines to
Talk About the Firm's Trouble.
T. A. Delamater, a brother of the ex
Sccator and a member of the firm of Dela
mater & Co., registered at the Duquesne
ycsterdiy. He has been in Cnicago on
business, and will return to Meadville in a
fewdajs. When asked if he had anything
to say about the company's financial diffi
culties, he replied that with all the suits
pending it would not be good policy for him
to express himself. He had read in The
Dispatch that the members of the firm had
been arrested once more, and as he was not
at home, the papers had not been served on
him.
Mr. Delamater said he was a member of
ihe bai.king company, but he had confined
himself to the affairs of the' Meadville and
Linesville Bailroad, and he probably knew
less about the banking troubles than the
general public He gathered most of his
information from the newspapers. He said
he didn't know that the company could not
meet the first of the payments to the cred
itors as reported. He had no encourage
ment to offer and little to say. Some time
ago Colonel Hulings said it was reported
that ex-Senator Delamater had declined an
offer of 510,000 per vear to manage the bus
iness of a Western firm, because he wished
to remain at home and get all he could out
of the property for the creditors. T. A.
Delamater said yesterday he had never
heard that such an offer had been made to
his brother.
AIR FOE HIKERS.
Tho
Men on the Commission Wanted 200
Cnoic TeetperMan.
L. L. Minor, of Uniontown, who was
stenographer for the commission to revise
the mine laws, registered at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel last evening. Mr. Minor,
by reason of his position, knows exactly
how the miners and operators on the board
argued in making the proposed changes.
In connection with thejair j roblem, at first
the mirers asked for 200 cubic feet per man
and 600 cubic feet additional for each
mule. The figures were place high to give,
th cm a chance to make n good, compromise.
The operators claimed it would be too ex
pensive to supply this amount of air, and
that 100 cubic feet per man was the rule in
all the States. They held this was sufficient
to supply both miners and animals. With
the law fixed at 150 cubic feet Mr. Minor
said it would require considerable additional
expense on the part of the operators to main
tain the supply as the capacity of Ihe ma
chinery would have to be increased.
The men also wanted the overcasts of the
air passages roofed with masonry and ce
ment This proposition rather paralyzed
the operators, and they held il this were" re
quired they wouldn't be able to keep their
mines in operation.
JIB. CAIB WAS 8TJEPEI8ZD.
IIo Denies That Crneity Is Practiced at the
Iteform School.
Edward Cain, the ex-Moiganza gnard,
denies that he can furnish any proof of
cruelty at that institution. In an inter
view had with .him yesterday be said:
"I was surprised when, I satiny, name
lie
FO
m
mentioned as one who could tell of cruelties
there. My wife and I were at the school
seven years and never saw any of the chil
dren punished unless it was really neces
sary. Mr. Quay was always opposed to
whipping, and would rather discharge an
officer.for breaking that rule than for any
other."
WOULD HOT PAY THE IHTEBEST.
Chief Elliot Declares Penitentiaries Useless
and Expensive.
"This world wastes an awful lot of
money," sighed Chief Elliot, of the Depart
ment of Charities, as he brushed aside a pile
of mail and papers. "Why, there are. in
stitutions in this city," he continued, "that
are breeding paupers like rats. People do
not know how tq give. They think that if
they dive into their pockets on every
occasion they are doing a work for
charity, when they are really spoiling
the objects of their generosity. The
county makes a mistakes, too, in keeping
np so many institutions for criminals. Why
not send such men to Alaska? Criminals
have made Australia one of the greatest of
the British provinces, while we keep on
sending them to penitentiaries and work
houses. "Why, all the stuff that criminnls steal in
Pennsylvania would not pay the interest on
the money it costs each year to run them.
They do "not make the world any better.
Has any one ever heard of one of these Insti
tutions reforming a man? They.go there
over and over. There are men who have
been at the workhouse scores of times. In
spite of this, they make as much fuss about
selecting a superintendent for that place as
if they were selecting a President Some
people are even ridiculous enough to say
that there is no one in Allegheny county
capable o.' filling the place. It's noifsense."
SNAKES SPOIL THE FISHING.
1 k
Warden Hagne Say They Are Unusually
Abundant This Spring.
Fish Warden Hague has just returned
from a trip along'the various streams. He
says that he has trouble, warning people
that the fish laws won't expire until the
30th of this month. He says the streams in
Western Pennsylvania ouglit to be
stocked again with fish. Yesterday he
spoke of the matter as follows. "This
spring there should be 0,000 trout fry
plaocd in the various streams of Western
Pennsylvania, but it is almost too late now
to secure them From 25 to 100 minnows
ought to be put in each pool near the head
waters and ihe larger number 'below.
"One thing though that is spoiling the
v fishing in this part of the State is the
anunuance oi,water snaKes. xney live al
most entirely on minnows, and I have seen
them swallow fish a foot long".; This year
they seem to be more numerous than ever
before. I think it is.fhe duty of every fish
erman to carry a club or a small revolver
and kill every one of these snakes he sees.
Their numbers could be greatly thinned out
In that way. They spoil fishing wherever
they are to be found, for they will chase a
fish until tbev catch it, and can go any
place that a fish can."
TOO MUCH DELAY HOW.
If Mail Boxes Are Not Placed In Street Cars
I Messencers IVill Be Put On.
Postmaster McKean returned from
Cbarleroi last evening, and will go to-day
to Barberton, where the sale of lots in the
new town will commence to-morrow. With
reference to the scheme to put mail boxes in
the street cars he said: "If the traction
companies refuse the privilege, then I pro
pose to put messengers on to run to East
Liberty, and carry mail every hour between
the two places. They can't stop that, and
the messenger can mafce at least 12
trips a day, and avoid much
of the delay at present in the delivery be
tween the two offices. In sending a letter
to East Liberty now it is handled three
times, and is taken to and from the depots
at both ends in wagons. As a rule it
requires almost a half day to transmit the
letter, which is a great deal of time lost"
The postmaster for more than a year has
been trying to have boxes put in the street
cars. He is not snre bow the companies
will relish the idea, and it rests with them
to a large extent
THAT BOND ISSUE.
P. Ss W. Stockholders Will Toto Tor or
Against It To-Day.
The meeting of the stockholders of the
Pittsburg and Western road will be held to
day to vote far the issue ot bonds amounting
to 52,000,000 for improving the line. A. J.
Thomas, one of the New York directors and
representing the interest of Drexel, Morgan
& Co., arrived last evening and registered
at the Anderson. He will be present at the
meeting.
The proposition to issue bonds subject to
the approval of the stockholders was ordered
by the directors last March, and is part of
the deal by which the majority of the stocks
was transferred to the Baltimore and Ohio.
As those who held the controlling interest
in the read were party to the sale, there is
no doubt the bonds will'"be issued, though
the minority holders are expected to file a
vigorous proteet After the issue of bonds
is decided some extensive improvements
along the line can be expected. The Balti
more and Ohio will soon be running its
through freight by way of Pittsburg,

The fourth ol the Golden Gate specials on

About 100 passengers were on board. Mr.

got off bere. Pittsbnrgers have not been
partial to any of the excursions.
On all tbe trips this winter not more than
400 persons were carried, and those in
charge of the trains do not hesitate to say
that the roid has made no money out of
them. Assistant General Passenger Agent
George W. Boyd has great faith iu the

gorical Statement.
MACHINISTS TO MEET IN COKYEKTION
Both parties to the tussle between capital
and labor took a rest yesterday, and them
selves 'and their belongings to the fields and
hillsides for a change of air and association.
Both sides will rise this morning with re
newed vigor for the struggle, and proceed to
demonstrate to a waiting and expectant
public that they will "never give in." It
is too early yet to make predictions regard
ing he duration of the fight If both sides
are to be believed it will last till doomsday,
and afterward continue in the nebular ex
istence. There is, however, a strong proba
bility that whichever side weakens will be
licked.
The Brotherhood officials report a conces
sion to the new working rules on Saturday
of 48 carpenter contractors and the Swift
Company. In this number was one who
had paid his fee for membership in the
Builders' Exchange. Tiie men claim over
200 ceders of the new rules. One thousand
three hundred and fifty-six members in 14
locals were reported as being on strike on
Friday. Saturday's report shows that this
number had diminished.
Present Claims of the Strikers.
The Press Committee of the carpenters
called at The Dispatch office last evening
and made the following statement regarding
the present conditions of the strike:
The adoption ot the present working rules of
the District Council was in strict comfnrmitv
with ino present and past rules of the United
Brotherhood And of the district constitution,
which bas keen in force for over two years, and
has never been questioned as to itsjeeality and
canuot now be declared other than legal and in
couiformity with the laws of the Brotherhood.
The council is composed of representatives
irom uie various local unions ol too district,
who are generally intelligent and f ally com
petent to interpret the laws of the lirotuor
hood, and any reflection as to the honesty of the
District Council is sfoply a reflection upon tho
locals and the entire membership of the dis
trict: hence any statements of unworthy
members are the utterances of traitors to the
organization, llio reported decision of the
General Executive Board can have no bearing
upon tbe present strike or demands, because if
such decision was given the District Council
would immediately appeal tbe same to a special
or tbelr next general convention, and still con
tinue tbe enforcement of the demands of the
present strike to the ei.d. The members of the
district are determined that nothing snail deter
them in their efforts to enforce the same, and
tbe decision whicn is reported to have been
given by tbe General Executive Board at this
late date would only be tbe means of uniting
tbe members more closely together in their
efforts.
A Word About the Funds.
As to the payment of strike benefits, we have
ample funds for the emergency and can pro
vide for the members to the extent ot 510,000 or
12,000 per week if necessary. The reserve
or protective fund, referred to as having been
called for by the Grand Secretary. 'has been
sent as usual to the officer of tbe Brotherhood
whose duty It was to receive and afterward
disburse it. Out of tbe entire membership of
the district no One member bas been legally
reported as having returned to work under the
old rules, wnile from positive information from
the entire district 50 per cent more men have
been granted the new rules than we conuted
upon or expected. As to the members cf Local
Union 230, so much spoken of, no ono need
Imagine that they are dissatistted or striving
to evade tbe issne or demand, for they
are determined almost to a man that
the eicht-bour rnle shall prevail, and are
working in harmony ulth the other
members of the district Any reports to'
the contrary are simply false. We expected that
onr General Secretary would have been here
on last Tuesday, but he failed to be present
He will be bere very shortly, and the members
will, no doubt, all be pleased to have him.
Ho will be here, not to interfere with tbe de
mands, but to assist in putting them in force.
A member of the Builders' Exchange said
yesterday that no change of sentiment had
occurred in that body. None of them had
given in to the demands, nor would they.
MACHINISTS' CONVENTION.
The National Association of the Craft Opens
Its Third Annnal Gathering To-Day
Many Delegates flave Arrived A Good
Showing In Their Personnel.
The third annual convention of the
National Association of Machinists will
hold its opening session at 102 Fourth
avenue this morning. Mayor Goorley-will
extend the open hand of friendship and
welcome to the delegates, on behalf of the
citizens, and lie v. El It. Donehoo will offer
a prayer for guidance from on high over the
deliberations of tbe assembly.
A majority of the delegates have arrived,
and when the proceedings open there are ex
pected to be between 170 and "00 representa
tives of the cralt present. They are arriving
from every end of the country, and there arc
also included delegates from Canada and
Mexico. The appearance of these men,
selected to meet in deliberation on measures
for tbe advancement and general good of the
trade is such as to indicate that the machin
ists' organization is composed of men second
to none in point of physique, intelligent
bearing, manner and speech, and as evi
dencing, signs of prosperity for their craft
in general and themselves in particular.
Tbe hundred or so who had ar
rived yesterday passed the day in
roaming around the eity and ad-'
miring nature as she appears in lovely, if
limited exteut, in the Allegheny parks and
the entire absence of opportunity to pur
chase a cigar, or even a glass of lemonade
in either city was, as usual, commented
upon by the strangers with whom such
cvery-day comforts are a matter of course in
their own towns.
The National Association of Machinists
has made rapid progress, both in numbers
and standing as an organization, within the
last few years. It is essentially an Amer
ican organization of the craft, and is
rapidly absorbing the members of the other
society, wmch is governed irom England,
where it originated. The National Asso
ciation has now a membership of 22,000, a
total it has reached since 18G8, when it was
first organized.
The business before the convention will
be of a purely integral character. The
craft is working under nine hour ruies,
remunerative pay, and the members are
stated to be content. The name of the asso
ciation will be changed from National to
International to cover the widening scope of
its membership. 'The local committee of
arrangements has done some clever, work in
preparation, and yesterday the delegates
were not slow in expressing their apprecia
tion of the efforts in this direction of
President fjjeorge W. Kirk, Mickael Blnn
don and their aids.
There will be a grand banquet on Friday
night at tbe Central Hotel, which is the
headquarters of the convention.

ABOLITION OF THE BLACKLIST
Advocated by the Pastor of tho Methodist'
Church at Braddock.
Itev. T. N. Boyle, D. D., pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of Braddock,
last night delivered a sermon to an immense
congregation, choosing as his theme, "The
Relation 'Between Capital and Labor." He
referred to the great wage conflicts through
out the country, and said: "Any discussion
that will tend to the obliteration of dividing
lines, and bring people nearer to each
other, ought to be encouraeed. The Father
hood ot God and the universal brotherhood,
of man are asserting themselves so strongly,
that under the light ol modern civilization,
we are incorporating into our creed the idea
that an injury to one fs the concern of all.
"Tho laborer is entitled to protection in
his work, in his health, and in his rights.
He can exercise his own jndsrment as to
when he will and when he willnot work,
and the law should prevent his being black
listed. The blacklist is a powerful weapon
that has been used against many a good
man, and it ought to be abolished."
SHEET HOLLEES MEET.
They Assemble Quietly at the Central Hotel
and Dlscnjs Matters. ,
Sheet iron rollers from the city and neigh
boring towns, to the number of 20, held a
quiet meeting lu the Central Hotel on Sat
urday evening.
They desired no mention to be made of
the meeting, and refused to state the object.
It is assumed they had under discussion
matters relating to the new scale to be pre
sented to the Convention in June.

RAIDS WERE VERY FEW.
m
Spcak-E.isy Proprietors Could Not Get In a
Stock for Yesterday Tho Wholesalers
Will Be Known To-Day, Which May
Help Them Out
Yesterday was an unusually slow day for
speak-easy raids. At police headquarters
the statement was made that this was be
cause tbe source of the speak-easy traffic
was cut off on account of the fact that the
wholesalers arc all closed up. The proprie
tors won't have the same trouble next week,
as the wholesalers will be ready for duty.
' The list of successful applicants is now in
the hands of the official stenographer, and J
will be banded down to-day.
Special Officer Kelly, of the Soutbside
district, made a raid on the speak-easy run
by Mrj. Ellen Mouahau at 2832 Cary alley
about 1 o'clock'yesterday, and Mrs. Moua
ban and seven visitors were captured. After
the prisoners had been loaded in the patrol
wagon, In turning the vehicle, one of the
rear wheels caught in the gutter, b?eaking
tbe wheel and compelling the officers to
walk the prisoners to the station house.
When the procession reached Twenty-third
street one of the prisoners named Jenkins
took a fit. His partner, who was hand
cuffed with him, assisted the officer
to carry him to the station. On their arrival
Inspector McKelvey released Daily for
giving his assistance at a time when he
could have caused considerable trouble.
This is the second raid made onMrs. Mona
han's place within five weeks. She is
under bail for court on the first raid, and
will be given a hearing to-day on the second
charge.
The police raided two alleged Hungarian
'speak-easies" at Soho yesterday. The
first one was that of Steve Karris, at the
corner of Second avenue and Canton street,
where the proprietor and ten Hungarians
were arrested. The other house was on
Lawn street, Fourteenth ward, where John
Norrisky, the proprietor, and six men were
captured.
ACCUSES HIS COUSIN.
Trank
Perrluo's Baruo .Broken ODcn and
Ills Money Gone.
Frank Perrino, who lives at 1213 Liberty
street, was robbed of about $300 last even
ing, and Antonio Perrino, his cousin, is in
Central station charged with the theft.
Frank Perrino and his wife went out walk
ing about 0 o'clock, locking up the house.
They returned iu about an hour and found
the rear door had been pried open with a
hatchet, and a trunk on the second floor had
been broken into. The trunk had contained
Pe-rino's money, but the money was gone.
Antonio had been boarding with, his
cousin, who alleges that 'he was the only
person who knew where the money was
kept. Antonio only had $3 on him when
arrested about 9 o'clock by Detective Deui
mil and Officer Oliver Peoples. He denies
the theft and the police are investigating
the case.
' Trunks Filled With Silver
Still selling. More and more this gift is
being left to the immediate family, and
what could be more sensible than a noble
trunk filled with silver of heavy and hand
some silver spoons and forks? An heirloom
for future generations. This is an "old
English idea," and it is one that abounds in
the bard common sense of our ancestors.
We can handsomely furnish a trnnk at any

Tbe First News Message Ever Sent
by Writing Telegraph
CAME DIRECT FEOM KEff lOUK
A Test of tbe New System Vfas Made on
j Long-Distance Work.
PAC-SIM1LE OP Tltfi HANDWEITIXG
The first practical test of writing
telegraphy on long distances -was held be
tween Pittsburg and New York yesterday
afternoon, and The Dispatch received the
first news, message ever written. The in
strument in this city was located in the office
of J. H. Stevenson, above the Postal Tele
graph office. In New York the work was
dona from Boom 16, at G Dey strtet. At
this end H. Etheridge was the operator, and
at the other end the work was done by Max
Gump, son of General Manager W. E.
Gump, of the Writing Telegraph Company.
The wires used were thp new copper wires
of the Postal Company between this.city and
New York. That, ot course, gave the
machine a more favorable chance to show
what it can do, as the copper wire has about

nne-fonrth the resistance of a common iron
wire, and, electrically speaking, is
only one-fourth as long. The work on
the" copper wire was excellent, but
it remains to be seen if it
would be as well on the common telegraph
wire. The first few moments were spent in
a conversation between the operators, firing
little pleasantries at each other at a good
safe distance. The messages are instantan
eous. '
The First News Telegram.
Charles T. Murray, The Dispatch
special correspondent, was at the New York
end and sent the first news telegram. It was
as follows, a sample of the writing of the
message also being reproduced in this col
umn: One Disnatcn, I'lttsburi?:
In conversation, a New York politician who
has just returned from Albany, says that Gov
ernor Hill will nndonbtedly be a candidate for
re-election to the Governorship. This movement
is considered necessary by the friends ot Hill
in order to keep bim in tbe line of promotion
to tbe Presidency. The Governor begins to
realize that be has made a mistake in accept
ing the Senatorship; and that unless be can
make a successtnl race for the Governorship he
will be out of tbe Presidental field entirely.
This coincides with the previously expressed
opinion that Hill's strength lies in tho posses
sion of the Exeeutive chair of New York. His
friends have i no doubt of his carrying New
York in another Gubernatorial contest agarn;t
anybody. Charles T. Muebay.

How the Machines Work.
The writing telegraph machines have
heretofore been nsed in delivering basebal.
scores to various places, here and in other
citie, and by many it is thought that these
scores have come direct from tbe cities in
which the games were being played. That
is a mistake. The scores are received via
the Postal Telegraph, and an operator in
each city sent the results arouqd tbe circuit
on the writing telegraph machines, 13 of
which have been in use in Pittsburg and
Allegheny. Chief Operator Hughes, of the
Postal Telegraph Company here, was asked
what effect the writing telegraph would
have in general telegraph business, to which
he replied:
"It will have no effect except some
slight difference in a commercial way.
Business houses can be connected with
branches or other business houses with
which they have considerable business. It
bas its advantages in that a record can be
IroTtt' nf avawthinff nrtil tvwn tnan Ann linli! n
ACJkUI (IJtlilUK! UIIU kNU UltU WJ1 JJV11J
conversation which will be accurate. Of
course, for regular business I don't think it
will have any effect. Communication can
be established in smaller towns than now
reached by the telegraph companies because
of the slight expense. It works very well
on a , copper wire, but it has never been
tried on the iron wires."
Obstacles In tho Way of Success.
There are numerous obstacles in the way
of the success of the writing telegraph. The
machine must be stationed on a good .solid
foundation, and the least jar bothers its
workings. On a windy day there would be
even more trouble than in ordinary tele
graphy. The company hopes to get'its ma
chine into even better working condition
than at present
It requires about one hour's practice to
become an operator of the writing telegraph
machine. It is ordinary long-hand writing,
but each letter must be made in exactly tbe
same place. The narrow paper tape on
which the message is recorded moves along
for each letter. The pen is not lifted from
the paper, but betweenjthe words is a hair
line. '
