Howard, a State Supreme Court Justice, and a Republican. (Professional reformers, the Jus tice denounced aa **vapld, sapless, spineless, chinless, sexless beings, sprung from no race and owned by no race." The justice was speaking at a St. Patrick's Day dinner of the Sons of St. Patrick of Troy, and after a tribute to the Irish he took up the (present political situation In this State, growing out of the Allds-Con- ger case. He said In part: "In my own party a queer condi tion exists and, in consequence, ev ery one is seised just now with a de sire to clean house. Whether It Is to be cleaned out I have not learn ed, but fifty thousand dollars Is to be spent to clean house; 60 cents worth of whitewash would do as well. Of course a few dead bodies may be rattled by these Investiga tions, or, perhaps a few live ones, fully protected by the statute of limitations. But suppose they arc rattled—what follows? Even If somebody is punished, what of that? No reform is worked. “It la not more investigations that we need, it Is more honesty; not more laws, but more common sense. We have too many laws now—to many Chat nobody knows what they are nor where they are. “The way to clean house Is the way tkpt Gaynor Is doing It. His wa> doesn't coat a cent.

Farmers In Dickinson county, Kan., are working ont an interest ing experiment lu co-operation. They own throe successful mutual com panies, each paying a good dividend and under competent management. That part of Kansas was settled 40 years ago by Germans, who are still the "majority of population." Later came Swedes and then farm ers from Indiana and HUnoi«.. Uu- land is the headquarters of the tel ephone, Insurance and mercantile companies. It boasts less than 100 population, but the amount of bus iness transacted there Is woriderful. Farmers attribute the success of their companies to the low cost of admin istration, no official receiving more than $2 a day and that only while he is actually employed on the compa ny’s business. The community idea took root during the Farmers Alliance days, back in 1891. A meeting of farmers was called to take up the question and each farmer was constituted an agent without pay to solicit new members. It was decreed that any time a lire occurred an assessment should !>e levied to mak£ good the loss. Slix years lat* r It had 241 members, with $ 168,000 . insurance In force. Today It has 3,500 members, with insurance representing $4^000,000^ When the company started in busi ness it was decided that $? a day was enough to pay any officer, and that amount has never been raised. This is paid only when the officer works. The average yearly salary list is about $800, due to the simple methods by which records are kept and the fact that everybody pays his assessment promptly under pain of being dropped at once. In 1 885 the farmers decided to build a creamery. Later the advent of tl»e farm srperator caused It to be closed up, us there was more money in selling the cream to the central butter making stations. One day when a number of farmers were waiting for their tickets from the creamery It was suggested that It would be just as easy to bring farm produce along with the milk every morning. Why not hava a store? Within a few days a co-operative organization with a capital of $25,- 000 was formed. Only a part of this was used at the beginning, but the store has been so profitable that the stock is quoted at $150 and the cash value of its resoums is around $35,000. Once a year the stock holders meet in the town hall, hear the reports, declare a good dividend •nd elect officers. No one is permit ted to hold more than $100 worm •of stock an 1 this entitles him to one vote.

The cost -of becoming a stockholder, that is of making a connection, is $10. Thereafter he Is a stockholder and all receipts from tolls are credited to him proportionately.

Father Had to be Introduced. * Two* months ago Otto Raschke wag a keen, alert Ijuafness man of Omaha, Neb. Today be is learning his alphabet, getting Acquainted with his own wife and children and be coming accustomed to the world that it about him. JHH» mind is llKe That of a child. The change came about as the result of a railroad accident in which Mr. Raschke sufficed pr. Injury to his head. \ Doctors declare his Is the most complete case of aphasia they have ever observed. They predi t that he will recover completely, Init slowly (ir that some of these day^ he will become his former self In an in stant and will forget ail that has happened from the time of his in jury to the time of his recovery. I hyfllcaKy he is said to be In the best condition. It was early In January that Ras chke was returning from a business trip to SIoub fhty. At Bancroft. Neb., hs swung off -the train for a breath of fresh air. As the train started he stepped aboard. Befo.e he got his balance the train lurched and his head struck the brass rf<l. 'He fell fro,)* the platform, was picked ip In im unconscious condUlon and was taken to Omaha. When he recovered consciousness his mind was a eomple*e blank. He heard the nures and physician? talk ing and tried to Imitate them The ability to talk retu r ned rapidly. One day his wife and two Uttle t*ovs w -re admitted to the -vun. Not a sign of recognition dl 1 ht show. "Don't you know us, Otto?" ask ed Mrs. Raschke, with tears in her eyes. “I never saw you before,” an swered Otto. He was told that this was his wife, and that the children were his own. "That's funny,” he said. "The idea of me having a wife and chil dren.” After three weeks in the hospital, during which he learned to walk a little, Raschke was taken to his home, which he did not recognize when he entered. \VltU a child's Ina bility to judge distance, Raschke was at first afraid to attempt to walk, for fear of falling. "Who is that man?" he asked. "Tell him to go out." "Why, Otto, that’s your father, he was told by his wife. Raschke had been very fond of his father, but in bis new condition he abhors the very sight of him. Formerly Raschke was an inveterate smoker. Soon after his return home he saw a man smoking and asked what he was doing. He was offered a cigar, but declared he did not like the odor. A week later he smoked one and was made violently 111. The most wonderful thing he has seen so far Is a horse, he never tires of watching the wagons pass his house. When a four-horse dray came by he screamed with delight and called his wife to see the won derful sight. "They tell me she Is my wife and that these children are mine," said Raschke the other day, " I have taken their word for so many things that I am believing them in this, but it seems mighty strange to me. At first 1 did not know how to think about them, but I grew to love them again. Everything is new and I am learning every minute. There is so much to learn. "The doctors tell me that some day 1 may recover. They say It may be slots-, just a little bit at a time, or that everything may be made clear in a twinkle. In the latter case they tdl me that I will forget all these days and that there will be a gap between the time they say I fell from the train and the time that I awake, and that I will never know anything about those days People come to see me and tell me they are friends of mine. I don't know thorn. I never saw them be fore. Some of them I like and some 1 do not like." Rasehke's two little boys are as fond of him as ever and climb around on their father's knots as they always did. He has grown very fond of them and keeps them with him all the time. • WAS LIKE ICE Peary Fhi4 Atlanta Erea Frostier Thai tbe Arctic Cirde. SMALL CROWD HEAR HIM COTTON TO BE CHEAPER.

Hit holies aa for And it Was as Cold as an Ire Berg from the Frown North Seas.— TIte Reception Which He Did Not Receive Indicated That He Had Reached Furtherest North, Some Idea of the frigid treatment given Commander Peary last week may be Inferred from the following account of his reception from the Journal: >Peary doesn’t look like a liar. He doesn’t talk like a braggart. That he Is a brave man he proved beyond cavil Wednesday night by appearing at the auditorium-armory, for It is doubtless if any dauntless explorer ever encountered hardships in the cruel, frozen north, half so heart-rending or pitiful as the recep tion accorded Commander Peary in Atlanta. Atlanta, the most hospitable city in the south, deliberately shut her doors In his face. Peary has not seen the real Atlanta at all. The small, unlemonstrated, chil ly crowd that huddled together in the centre of the desolate autitorium came here skeptical and went away uneanylnced. Poor, pitiful Peary. The lecture was advertised to be gin at 8:30 o’clock. When that hour arrived, a few hundred impatient people were scattered amoiu: the va cant seats in the vast amphitheatre, oooassionally stamping the feet and clapping—to keep themselves warm. The minutes sped. The eold apd impatience Increased. Have you ever seen the brethren and sisters wait ing for the late parson at a Wednes day night prayer meeting in a small town? That is what the scene sug gested. Presently upon the barren stage appeared F. I.. Seely and Commander Peary. Mr. Seely said he didn't known whether his sp^ch ought to be an intrductory address of wel come or an apology. It turned out to be an an apology. Then Commander Peary arose. At the same instant a couple of hundred people arose in the galleries and stampeded for the lower floor. They ir.fav more noise than a small * arth- •liinke. Mr. Peary stood Ms ground. How ever the demonstration was not hos tile. Tt was not a riot. The people w'r-> simply seeking better r.e.Vs. At length Commander Peiry be gan to speak. Before he had tad;- ed five minutes he had convinced Ms hesrers that he had an ineresting story to tell. His hearers continued lc doubt, but ceased to dislice (ho explorer.- Not one wool did h 0 Rtv of Dr. Cook, not one word of Governor Brown's criticism or Mayor Majdox's unwillingness to welcome him. The spirit of rough, ungentlemanly brag gadocio which has been attrlbut >d to him in more than one newspaper report was pleasantly lacking. He jarred upon nol>ody. After exhibiting two or three maps showing the location of the north pole with adjacent lands and Icy seas, he plunged directly in med ian res and told the story of hu lat est and last expedition In th« frozen north. He was not argumentative or melodramic. A splendid collec tion of Intensely interesting photo graphs, poorly thrown upon the screen, constituted the principal fea tures of the evening. Practlca.ly everything he said was in explana tion of the pictures. The only reference he made to the popular doubt that he had reached the pole was a short statement tend ing to refute'the objection thar* he had made more speed after h Q left his supporting party than he had made with It. In the first plneo, in all arctic exploration, said he, the final dash was necessarily more rap id. It was supposed to be. That was why the last stage was always called the "dash for the pole." A regiment could progress at a certain speed, said he. A picked company from that reginumt could go still faster. A picked squad from that company could make still bet ter time, and the crack sprinter of that squad could go the fastest of all. The last dash he said, was made practically In that way. with the In cumbrance of supporting parties and heavy baggage left behjnd. Commander Peary was heard with Intense interest, but there was no enthusiasism when he flashed upon the serene his picture of the stars and stripes nailed td^the "top of the world," and there was no ovation after the lecture erided. * b« brought 1 burial.

Ddt“*' Hal * THE WIRELESS TELEPHONE . $ ■Forty year# agojf anyone had an nounced t^at tbe human voice would be carried miles through space he would have been laughed to scorn. When Alexander Graham Bell told the people he had invented the wire telephone, was called a fool; and when he exhibited the telephone, it was derided as a useless toy. Many stories are now related how influention and wealthy men refused to listen to Professor Bell, much less intest money In developing the in vention, and thereby missed securing millions of dollars. Twenty years after the wire tel ephone came into use the electricians began to dream about sending mes sages without the aid of wire con nections. Many worked on the pro blem. Then came Marconi with the tvireless telegraph. Marconi tried to Interest people of means In his own country, Italy, with his inven tion. The fifteen year ol(f bey was looked upon by his people as little better than a lunitle. He went to France. No one would listen to him. In England fianciers laughed at him. The engineers of the British government, however, looked into his plans, and Marconi was given a small p°nsIon to develop his invention. To day the wireless telegraph Is used by every government in the world. Marconi's invention started other electricians to thinking and experi menting. Among them was A. Fred erick Collins, a young electrician of Philadelphia. If one could transmit messages by telegraph without wires, why not talk through space with a wireless telephone? Young Collins got busy. He studied ami continued to experiment. He invented the wire less teb phone, and secured the basis patents on the invention. The Collins wireless telephone may be said to combine the principles of the Bell wire telephone and Marconi wireless telepraph. A remarkable thing about it is that the voice comes more distinct through the wirelss telephone than through the ordinary Bell telephone. The voice Impulses are carried by waves of the mole rules of ether and are reproduced by the mechanism of the receiver wherever it may be within the zone of the radical energy of the sending telephone station. These sound waves are called hertizlan waves, af ter Drv Hertz who discovered their existence. They travel with a speed of 1 85,000 miles a second, for inde- fln#e distance. Wireless telegraph messages sent out from New York have h(*en caught and read on the Pacific ocean. The wireless telephone has been so perfected that it will transmit the human voice with perfect distinct ness 200 mile. A picture in the issue of February 16 of the Telegraph and Telephone Age shows the' inventor, A. Frederick Collins, at Newark, conversing with the Collins com pany's office in Hie Land Title build ing in Philadelphia. 81 mil's away. The hertzian sound waves are not interfered with or obstructed by walls or mountains. A short time ago a wireless telephone of the demonstra tion type was set up in the vault office of the county clerk in the court house at Orangeburg, and conversa tions were carried on through the foor foot waits, of the vault, and 28- inch wall of the room across the hall from the vault. By simply pres sing a button In the far room the bell of the phone was rung in the vault, through more than six feet of solid masonry. It is said that with the same fa cility the vibrations pass through hundreds of feet of solid earth, into CLASSIFIED COLUMN the deepest mines; that by equiping mines, tunnels and cribs with the wireless telephones horrible disas ters, bo far as the loss of is con cerned, will be eliminated. , A Chicago firm of contractors Is reported to be arranging for the in stallation of a complete equipment of wireless telephones In their Land and lake tunnels new being build for the city of Chicago. The prem ises Include 12,000 feet of rock tun nel under Lake Michigan, 150 feet felow the water level. _ The field of usefulness for the wireless telephone will be practically unlimited. Mr. Collins has invented a small but powerful wireless tele phone to be carried on automobile. With it physicians may talk from wherever they are to nurses in the sick-rooms of their patients. Motor ists may call up and talk to any garage in event of tire trouble or need of assistance. The Collins Wireless Telephone now maintains offices in nearly every State. In each State activities are in progress for the installation as soon as possible of commercial wire less 'phone systems. The headquar ters for South Carolina are In Col umbia. Word H. Mills, formerly ly connected with The .State news paper is manager for this State. * YOUTH SEEKS BALM. Young Man Demands $20.0(>0 of h Widow 68 Years Old. The usual order of breach of prom ise suits is reversed in the case of Frank Catterton against Mrs, Lucy E. McKnight, of Baltimore, Md. Cat terton is 28 years of age, and the widow In the case 68.
