The flashing of a , message from Mount Reno to Mount Graham , Ili3 miles , by aid of tlio heliograph , marks the greatest achiovcment in this method of optical telegraphy yet made , says the Now York Press. It is , porhiips , not gononilly known tlmt the signtil service department hits boon making extensive experiments in this direction for bovoral yours , nnd it may now lay claim to hav ing the longest and most complete heliographing - graphing line in the world. Its operations - tions _ extend from Fort Stanton in Now Mexico to Whipplo Barracks in Arizona , more than 1,000 miles , with ramifica tions leading In ditl'orent directions. The terminal stations , twenty-livo or more , connect with the ccneral tele graph systems of the country , bringing the almost impenetrable reserves of Now Mexico and Arizona into direct communication with civilization or the governments. The system is of immense advantage in Indian warfare , whore ordinary tele graph lines have not penetrated , and where they could not bo maintained in ease of hostilities were they sot up. General Grcoly recently sent a dispatch to Washington from fiowio Peak , Ari zona , the message being flashed from peak to peak over gaps of forty-five miles , touching at Mount Graham , Table Butte , Saddle Peak , Baker's Butte , Squaw Peak , Bald Mountain to Whipplo Barracks , from where it was record , and understanding its value from a military point of vlow , the signal service department will not fail to de velop it as far as possible. The heliograph is a dimple little in strument and easy of manipulation. A. small mirror is set on a tripod in such a manner that the rays of the sun rc- llectcd from its surface may bo thrown in any direction nnd kept at the point desired by mechanism compensating for the rotation of the earth on its axis. These rays , interrupted so as to show flushes of long or short duration , repre senting the ordinary Morno alphabet , -are watched and their variations noted at the distant btation.

Nr.w YORK , Juno ( . -Special to TUB HKB , ] The event of the week In pugilistic circles In Now York has boon tlio purchasing of the managing Interests in the Puritan Athletic club by Dick Uooha anil Jimmy Wukeloy , They have coino to the conclusion that Cali fornia was having a monopoly of alt the lilt ; flstlo events nnd they have determined to go In and make tholr club as famous us that of the Kl Doruiloans. The affair Is In the right hands too. I met Dick Uooho coming homo from the races the other day and ho gave mo 'an outllno of what the clud Intended to do. In the llrst iiluco the orlgliuil building will Imvo ono sldo torn out and about eighty foot In width added to It. Largo Iron girders will support the structure , which will afford an unobstructed vlo\v of the ring from any part of the building. The seats will bo ar ranged onan Incline or "circus fashion , " and on cither sldo of the ring will IK } arranged boxes for members and scuts for the members of the press. Everything will bo done to mnko the thing "go. " Air. Itocho told mo that ho or the club would offer n $20.000 pi'rso lor Sullivan and Jackson , n $ .T,000 imrso for Kllraln und MeAulllTo and & . > , f > 00 for Jack McAullfTo and Andy Bowen. The tickets will read for twenty or thirty rounds with the privilege of the referee or dering us many extra rounds as ho see fit , or until either ono of the men Is knocked. Mr. Kocho says thcro will bo no draws. The club Is ut present trying to get Jero Dunn to no ns official referee In the same mannur ns doet 1 liram Cook nt the California club. An electrle gong will nlso bo used. According to the rules of the club the men must bo In the ring nt exuctly 0 o'clock , nt which tlmo the doors will bo locked nnd thereafter admit tance refused. The building will have n limited seating capacity , und when ull thu scuts uro lllled the doors will bo burred. AVork bus already begun on the building and everything will bo in sliip-shupo order by the fall. * * Billy Murphy , the Australia feather weight nnd Jimmy Larkins of Jersey City have been matched and will light before the California athletic club In several months. Lust week Captuln Cook telegraphed to Larklns asking his terms. Jimmy sent buck that $2,000 would about do , winner to take all , and the club to pay expenses. This proposi tion was accepted und \vo will probably see these two at it by the middle of next month. Larklns is very confident of victory over Murphy nnd ho says ho will take possession of the featherweight bolf , or die in the at tempt. If they meet n largo delegation of eastern sportingmcn will go out to see the "scrap" nnd Lnrkins willhaveplenty of back- Ing. Speaking to Ike Weir of his recent fight with Murphv ho said , "I wasn't feeling par ticularly-well-when 1 went in the ring , but I felt pretty sure that I could lick Murphy even under thcso circumstances. Well , I Just played with him during Iho llr.-tt few rounds and punched him almost at will. My hand was bud ut the time 1 havinir been shot but a few days before the light or I would have puthim out in a couple of rounds. As it was ho caught mo off my erunrd and got hi a terrible punch in the pit of my stomach which just knocked the life out of mo and I couldn't do anything after that. Murphy is fur from being the wonder that he Is reputed to bo mid any clever two-handed lighter can lick him. That sumo evening ho went on ut Mlko Doyle's pluco in Ilobokcn and punched Charley Smith , who has the reputation of standing off William Wallace , all over the ring. Weir created moro laughter with his horseplay than any comedian on the stagtv. IIo has n general reputation of having u screw loose somewhere , but just Imvo tiny business dealings with him and ho is us crufty us u fox. He knows his business and he is working his gumo for ull there is in it. Probably by this time this letter has been read the Lynch und MclJrido light will have been decided. The betting bus been brisk ult the week over this affair , Lynch ruling a slight favorite at 100 to ) . It is suld that McBrldo injured his hand last wrek punch ing tlio bag , but it is thought that this is just a bluft to get odds in the betting. As much interest is being taken in it ns if it wus an in ternational ufluir , and already the sporting clement is hustling to got tickets to witness the nffair. I still stick to my opinion that Lynch will win. * The racing the past week has been of the most sensational kind , tlio victories of Tcnny and Fides being the most important. Tcnny's ' victory of the New York Jockey club handi cap bus put his stock way ubovo par for tlio suburban , and his followers declare it is a "moral cinch" for him. Tcnny is not the only thoroughbred in the race , however , atul by the tlmo ho llnlshes ho will think ho has been to a horse ruco. The contest for the Toboggan Slide handicap nt Wcstchcstcr was n magni ficent struggle. I still doubt if the best horse won , Blue Hock who finished third , lapped with the winner , was fust overtaking her und Cicruldiuo was most miserably ridden. The first three leaders boat El Rio Key's time , 1:11 : , nnd Fides established the now record of 1:10j : If a record is not broken every day nt West- chcstor they think It very queer.

Shaffer of Middlctoa , Mich , , a widow with thrco chil dren. A short time ago , his wife took her children nnd eloped with John Wolf , n neigh bor. They went to Lansing and were found by Wolf's ' deserted wifo. Billy Mack , a horse jockey known through out the northwest , nnd Miss Doll D.tv , the daughter of Jesse N.

Thrco years ago Leopold Motzgcr eloped with Muttio Jacobs tlio , fourteen-year-old daughter of ono of the richest Hebrews in Minneapolis. The parents insisted Unit the girl was too young to enter upon the duties of wifchood. The couple were married before a justice of the peace , Tlio young wife wus in duced to return to the parental roof and become - como a child once more. Her husband might bo her accepted suitor und when she arrived at maturity the agreement mudo bcforo the justice of the pcuco wus to bo renewed by a 1'ornml marriage nt home. The other day the artificial chasm was bridged between man und wife by tha second marriage ceremony ut the residence of thn bride's parents nnd now the couple are spending the honeymoon in New York. Hurry Goodwin nnd Cora Skinner of Law rence , Iml. , went to a justice of the pence at Elizabothtown , O. , just ! it)0 ) yards from the state line to get married. As they reached the squire , the girl's father could bo seen in the distance pursuing on horscbabk. The Rquiro grasping tbo situation , told the lovers to grasp hands und run for Indiana , in their license was not good in Ohio. They scrum- bled over a fence. Crossing the line the squire stumbled und fell , but hud just breath enough loft to pronounce the words as the angry father galloped up , too Into. A largo crowd witnessed tlio race and cheered the bridal couplo. The father loft without be stowing the blessing.

After his departure It was learned that ho nail stolen f-'WO from his employers , ho wus traced to St. Louis , hut the detectives lost ull truce of him thcro. At the time ho loft ho was onguged to bo man-led to a beautiful young girl named Edna Moorloy , the daughter of Mrs. Thomas Moorloy , who moved in the best society. It was thought that liiiynor's ' dishonesty hud caused the girl to break the engagement , but recent developments show that this was a mistake.

[ Special Telegram to Tun HIM : . ] KO. . Bun & Co.'s weekly review - view of trade will sny : AH tlio indications regarding legitimate business continue encouraging. At. tlio snino tlmo thcro Is rcnowiil of speculative c.xclto- incnt , based on tlio prospect tlmt a silver bill will speedily puss buth houses nnd hi such form that executive approval can bo uxpet'toil. It Is difficult at times to distinguish between the merely speculutlvo nnd tlio moro sub.stiin- tlnl Improvement , but In this Instnneo tliero is no room to iloubt tliat conditions are lln- proving for productive Industries and for legitimate trade1. Crop prospects have brightened wonderfully - fully nnd these who look for better times are no longer forced to account for a hopeful and cnnildcnt tone In the fnco of a short crop out look. The general average of prices has not been affected much as yet , but has turned up ward and manufactured products with bread stuffs show a general tendency to ndvmico. The reports from other cities are without exception favorable. ISoston notes not much change , but higher prices obtained for boots and shoes , with oven more advance In hides nnd leather and largo sales. Wool Is quiet ami Jinn , but manufacturers arc looking for some advance on light weight goods. Cotton goods hold the Into advance and lumber Is linn with good business. Philadelphia has reported three mill fail ures in the neighborhood and 00 per ccntv ol the spindles thcro ura Idle , but the situation in wool Is ono of waiting. Iron improves , coal stiffens , tlio liquor trade Is more active and leatherand boot nnd shoo trades are pleased. In building May showed a decline of moro than a third from lost year. Pittsburg notes Improvement In Iron and no expectation of trouble about the now scale ot wages. Cleveland finds trade good nnd Iron Im proving , and at Detroit trade brightens with the crop prospects. In general throughout the west the rains have made the outlook very much brighter and business everywhere improves accord ingly. Chicago notes an Increase In the movement of all grains and meats , bettor trade in dry goods and fairly good business in boots mill shoes , with good payments in nil. St. Louis llnds the situation generally favorable , with bank clearings exceeding oil past records. At Milwaukee , St. Paul , Kansas City and Omaha the improvement in crop prospects stimulates trade. At Salt Lnko trade is nctivo for the season , with real estate linn , and at Memphis the de cided gain in cotton prospects gives now ac tivity. The great industries show clearly the gen eral tendency toward improvement. In iron n weakness nppcars hero , whllo an advance in many quotations is reported. Largo sales of steel rails is reported , with $ . ' 10.50 quoted herons the minimum. The wool manufac ture does not improve so clearly , but tliero is distinctly moro confidence that some improvement in the prices of goods which nro now subjected to foreign competition may 1x3 realized if the house tariff bill passes the senate also. The speculative markets are generally stronger. The monetary prospect in all parts of tlio country is favorable to business activ ity.The The business failures throughout tlio coun try during the last seven days number for tlui United States 175 , Canada 'M , total SOI , com pared with B18 last week. For the corresponding spending week oflast year the figures were 200 in the United Status and S3 in Canada. Honesty nml Conventionality , fi Tlio root moaning of conventionality is a bringing together of the boat forces of the head mid heart to doyiso methods by which wo may moot Bubject to common laws ; our social Hiatus is maintained among our kind by our knowledge and interpretation of thcso laws , says the Christian Union. IIo who socs u con flict between conventionality and honesty boars the siune relation to the social world that the anarchist does to tlio political ; ho objects to obeying laws that trammel his will. Tliero is no greater evidence of crudity than u belief that n declaration of an honest opinion is always in order , and that silence is deceit. Tact is regarded as a sixth sense by some , and if wo stop to nnnly/.o it wo would say that it was a perfect balance of honesty and conventionality , for the tactful person is of too high an order to bo untruthful , and of too kindly a nature to bo unconventional. It IH this balance that endows him with that attitude that lifts him above the innsfl of men. The woman who thinks it neces sary to toll another that she has "gone oiT live years in ono" is certainly honest , but she is not conventional , oven though she can quote the written laws of every .book on etiquette , and accepts all now 'acquaintances on the basis of the "rules for the use of cards. " Wo endure her when forced to meet her , but wo do not make opportunities for that privilege , nor value her the higher because she la perfectly honest. Conventionality is to society what the criminal law is to the world at large , and should bo so applied tlmt the portion who robs society of the possibility of pleasant intercourse , of graceful act and speech , of the power to moot imperson ally , should bo kept out by the com bined efforts of these who believe that kindliness is the foundation of social lu te rcourso. i An Important ICiiKiiKOjiient to Keen. Tlio train for Cleveland was pulling out and had gained considerable head way when there came a whiz and the sound of splitting wind as u man with a tall silk hat crushed down on his oars dashed through the gates , nays the In dianapolis News. Ho curried two biff valises , but they were apparently ua light as feathers , for they did not inter fere with his mad rush after that train , lie fairly How along the platform , and and the brnkoinan on the car was so busy looking at a girl in the window of the National hotel that ho did not sea him. Tlio crowd yelled and whooped. "Got there , old maul" "Pull for it hard ! " "You'll make it if you don't fall dead , " and a hundred such aggravating remarks. The man made a heroic effort , but ho didn't have the logs , nnd the brakemun dldn'tsco.him thus lie missed the train. IIo came Blowly back to tlio gates , put down his grips , mopped hla lace , and remarked : "Well , I'll bo blowed. " IIo didn't Bay blowed , but let it go at that.
