unil Misfortune In Love
One should not Bay wireless teleg
raphy now If he wishes to be scien
tific The terra adopted by the recent
conference at Berlin on the subject of
such communication Is radio-telegraphy
The conference framed an
agrHnent between all the nations
represented providing for free com
munication between the different sys
tems of radio telegraphy
Dr Lee De Forest the Inventor of
one of the most widely used of these

DK LEE DE FOREST
systems recently read a paper before
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers describing a new wireless
receiver of which he is the investor
It is asserted that this receiver is far
more sensitive than any of those in
vented earlier and instead of utilizing
a liquid It- employs a sensitive gas
Dr De Forest has been eminently suc
cessful In science but in love he has
been less fortunate He courted his wife
by the radio telegraphic system and
it is said asked the important question
several times by means of the appara
tus in his own house and the instru
ments he set up in the apartment
where livedv the young lady he ad
mired She learned to talk by the
wireless system but It was some time
before she used it to say Yes Their
happiness was brief for a short time
ago an application was made for the
dissolution of the marriage
CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA
The Forbes Robertsons and Their
Portrayal o These Characters
Shakespeare wrote a play about
Antony and Cleopatra but it re

hardihood to criticise the Bard of
Avon to wrrite a drama entitled Cae
sar and Cleopatra It is being play
ed at a New York theater by Forbes
Robertson the noted English actor
and his wife Gertrude Elliott sis
ter of Maxine Elliott It is one
of the principal subjects of conversa
tion in theatrical circles both on ac
count of the ability shown by Mr and
Mrs Robertson in the Interpretation
of the leading roles and because of the
unconventional way in which the
dramatist has treated the characters
Forbes Robertson is considered the
greatest Hamlet of the English stage
foebes BourrcrsoN as caesats anl his
WIFE AS CIiEOPATBA
today His wife who made bis ac
quaintance tvhile playing -with Nat
Goodwin and Maxine Elliott in Eng
land is a woman of much cleverness
and beauty One of the noted suc
cesses of the Forbes Robertsons was
The Light That Failed in which 2Ir
Robertson took the part of Kiplingt
hero Dick Heldar and his wife that of
Maisie In the play Heldar an Illus
trator and correspondent wooes Haisle
an artist in a studio That Is a place
familiar to Mr Robertson for he en
Joyed repute as a painter before he
won fame as an actor He once
painted for Henry Irving the wedding
scene in Much Ado About Nothing
It contained portraits of all the lead

nin PlBlit For Control of th Illinois
CcntrnI and IIIh Personality
The contest for the control of the Il
linois Central railroad which has re
cently heen a leading subject of Wall
street discussion resulted in further
increase in the power of Edward II
Hnrrimau as a railroad king By the
election of Mr Harrimans candidate
for the presidency of the road James
T llarahau to succeed Stuyvesaut
Fish It is believed that a close alli
ance will be established between the
Union Tacific and the Illinois Central
This would be in accord with the ful
fillment of Mr Ilarrimaus long cher
ished plan for a system extending from
the Atlantic to the Pacific In this
great plan the Illinois road was the
one link missing to complete a line of
track from Xew York to San Francisco
and Portland Ore from the great
lakes to the gulf and from the gulf
to the Pacific again The contest is
mixed up with others connected with
the great insurance investigation of
last year in which Uarriman and
Fish found themselves ranged on oppo
site sides in the matter of changes in
the Mutual Life Insurance company
It was predicted at the time that Mr
Harrimau would retaliate on Mr Fish
