A series of Important experiments arc
about to be made over the wires of the
Pennsylvania railroad to determine the \aluo
of the multiple device Inv anted by Pro
fessor Henry A. How land of the Johns
llopklrw university.
IJy means of this Invention It Is posolblo
to send eight telegraphic mccsngcs over the
sime wire at the Bamo time , four In each
direction. The messages are sent over a .
keyboard slmlllar to that of a typewriter , I
which Is at the sending end of the Instru
ment. while nt the other end IH a small '
snachlno which records the mesaagu In
glinted form , It being possible cither to
pllnt the message upon a sheet of paper or j
upon a long tape llko that which Is used '
In the oidlnary ticker service. "There Is no |
longer any question of the value and j
thorough utility of the machine , " said Pro-
feMor How land In an Interview , "and mauy
experienced tclegrapera who have seen It
work pronounce It absolutely perfect. An
ordinary typewriter operator ran send mes
sages at the rate of forty wordi p. minute ,
while all the tlmo seven other messages
are going over the wire , each separate and
distinct from the others. I wanted to try
the message over a very long wire , but
could not make satisfactory arrangements
with the Western Union Telegraph com
pany for the use of their plant. However ,
the Pennsylvania railroad has placed Its
private wires at our disposal So we have
decided upon a wlro between Jersey Ulty
und Philadelphia for the first trial and afur
that , If wo want to , we can try a longer
wire by using a system of loops. "
The quadruplex device , now In use In
florae telegraph offices , has been considered
tt giant stride In the development of telog-
uaphy and has resulted In the Having of
much , time and money. The capacity of
the new arrangement of Professor Rowland
may bo further comprehended when It Is
Btatcil that his Invention will do three times
the work which the quadruples machine
will do.

gineer of Whitens ! ! llay and Milwaukee ,
has been Interviewed by the St. Paul Pioneer
neer Press "Yes , 1 have made some Inven
tions , " said he , producing a card whereon
ho was described ns "Inventor of police
alarm Indicator , lire alarm Indicator , hotel
indicator , printing telegraph and the Im
proved continuous rail " "Tho printing tele
graph Is probably the most Important. I
have made a little machine something HUe
a typewriter. On that machine you send
a telegraph message Just as you write on
a typewriter. Only you can send all the
letters of any word at the same tlmo that
Is , unless It's a very big word. It It has
moro than ten letters well , a man has only
ten fingers. With some practice you can
Bond 200 words a minute. The circuit Is
broken once only , you see , to make any let
ter. The present telegraph cede breaks the
circuit about three times ontho average for
every letter , and the operator with the pre
sent system can send only forty words a
mlnuto unless he's an export , nnd the ex
port rarely docs better than bevcntv-flve
or eighty words a minute. At the reci vltift
end of the wire with my system the operator
but there'wori'fbo'a'ny ' opciato"r. The mes
sage will print itself at that end us In a
stock ticker , only much faster and on cither
tape or a letter sheet. So really anybody
who can spell can send his own messages
\vlth my machine If the operator doesn't
happen to bo handy. As for the expert op
erator , ho could send 250 words a mlnuto
perhaps more. Pvo been working only six
months on my printing telegraph , 1 dldn'l
want much said about It until I could get It
patented ovorywhcre. Just the other day
I got my last patent In England , the last ol
twenty-two patents covering all the civilized
nations. We have already put the machine
In on six stations of the Milwaukee road to
test them. They worked perfectly. The )
need no metallic circuits , no change In the
wiring. They arc small and simple. In a
mouth or two I'll begin putting them Into
the telegraph offices In the Twin Cities am
elsewhere. It will send three times as fast
from ono end and will dispense with any
operators at the other end ; besides , It wll
not require an expert to run the machine
The machine only costs $10 to manufacture
but It will bo rented for $6 a month. Tha
will make the expense for each machine
about $30 a month , Now , the average oper

Kxperimcnta nro at present being con
ducted on the Parls-Hordeaux line with
flomo very Interesting machines , which the
Inventor , M. Mercadlcr , has been working
on for many years. With these Instru
ments , called duodccaplex , twelve Morse
transmitters can work simultaneously on a
single wire , each sending Its signals to the
proper receiver at the end of the lino. The
result Is brought about by the use of al
ternating or , at any rate , Interrupted cur
rents. Each transmitter receives ita cur
rent throuah n tuning fork having a special
note. Its vibrations being electrically
maintained. These vibrations furnish a
current of the proper period to cause re
sonance .u each application In the proper
receiving circuit , which has Its self-induc
tion and capacity adjusted for this risult.
This receiver Is n telephone ( a monotele-
pbnsio , as It la called by Morcadler ) so con

dangerous to use them. U la Rtatcd that at

and at Lansing , Mich , where 75,000 feet of
vvlro had been paid out by the weather bu

nnd the official observer escaped serious InJury -
Jury only through the opportune release
of an Iron guiding bar. The obvious remedy
for this destruction would be to withdraw
the line at the approach of thunderstorms ,
but such a sacrifice of Important data Is
not to bo contemplated. It Is now suggested
to use a cord of gllk , which has twice the
strength according to its weight as com
pared with tool steel. One of the objections
to thin method which will h-xve to be mot
was noticed by Prof. Marvin , who was ouo
of the first to substitute silk for wire. As
the slllc conl wai necessarily of a much
larger diameter than vvlro , there was a pro-
portlonatu wind effect , which diminished the
altitude of the kite. Prof Marvin's next
Idea was the retaining of the steel wlro
M a whole and the Insertion of an occasional
stretch of fifty to 100 feet of silk cord. Hero
the fact was Ignored that the electric cur
rent traveling along a wlro may be of such
.1 voltage as to give a tiny spark or a de
structive lightning flash. A moderate dis
charge might destroy the continuous isteel
wire , but a stronger flash will Jump over
the fifty or 100 feet of Bilk cord nnd still
destroy the wire , so that the Introduction
of a silken loop simply delayed the dissipa
tion of the line for It , might be , a few
minutes , nnd brought the solution of the
problem of perfect fcafety no nearer. I'rof.
Rowland expressed the opinion that there Is
pparently no way to make the kite line
> erfcctly safe except to make It cither too
ioor a conductor to transmit any electricity
f so good a conductor that It will transmit
ho entire lightning flash without becom-
ng overheated. The question In Its present
pen condition presents an Interesting study
or electricians ; but In the meantime the
meteorologists continue to fly their kites In
loctrlcal storms , they say that even If the
Ine Is burned up they can always go and
lunt for the kilo which has secured the
record.

That the application of electricity to the
culture of plants Is rapidly approaching a
iractlcal stage Is apparent In Prof. S. Lem-
Strom's recent paper on the subject. Ex
periments carried out In Plnland prove ,
among other things , that electricity given
lo plants during dajs with a clear burning
sun may damage them very much If enough
water Is not given at the same time. Prof ,
Lflmstrom's theory as to the beneficial In-
llucnce of electricity on plants is that either
the gases In the air arc transformed to
ozone and nitric oxides , which , being hea
fall on the plants and Increase the activity
of their vegetation , or the eleitrlclty Inducts
the juices of the plants to ascend moro rapIdly -
Idly In their capillary tubes. Six fields o
fifty meters each were used for the cxperl
mental demonstration , three being treated
with electricity and three without. In the
Former there was found a general Increase
In the seeds of at least 40 per cent In the
volts from 25 per cent to 75 per cent , depend
ing on the kind of plant and on the natun
of the soil ; in beans , 75 per cent ; In straw
berries and raspberries , as high as 75 pe
cent , the tlmo for their ripening being
shortened nt least one-third. In the cul
lure of tobacco , where especially the precau
tlon as to nn ample supply ot water on
bright days wns found necessaiy , tbo plant
under the Influence- the current showei
at least 40 per cent better growth than thosi
cultivated without It. The length of tlnr
the current was usually turned on during
tbo day wai four hours In the morning an
four hours In the afternpon. The total num
her of hours was 161.

The Colossal Palace of Electricity , whlc
was designed by M. Eugene Henard , will b
ono of the most remarkable features ot th
Paris exposition In 1900. Llko moit of the
new bulldlngc on the Champ de Mare , It
will bo built with an upper floor , to which
access will bo had by broad ttalrways nnd
by viaducts connecting with other exhibi
tion halli. It la estimated that 12.000-horss
water power , which Is equivalent to a flow
of 300 gallons of water per second , will bo
required to op rc.te the mighty machinery.
This water will be raised from the Sclno
by an Immense pumping plant and will be
raado to do double duty by adding to the
scenic effects of the grounds. At the
Chateau d'Eau there will bo a beautiful
cascade , about 100 feet high , on which at
night the electric lights will play. All the
lower part of the Palace of Electricity will
be hidden by the Chateau d'Eau , above
which the central hall will rise to a com
manding elevation. This facade will be 390
feet long and will be surmounted at Ita
highest point , more than 230 feet above the
ground , by a colo'sal statue of electricity.
Ily day this facade will be outlined against
the sky In n lacework of metal nnd glass ,
and at night It will glitter like a diadem
of Jewell flashing the colors of the diamond ,
ruby and emerald.

a still moro ambitious system of hot pressIng -
Ing has been Introduced In dyeing and
finishing factories , which may furnish a
hint on which a practical system fur the
tailor may bo based. In place ot Iron plates
heated In very hot ovens or hollow plates
heated by steam , which have hitherto been
used for this purpose , sheets are used con-
slstlng mainly of prc nlng plates heated by
i electricity. The presbrs ore charged with

cold when placed In position and are after-
I ward connected with the switches. The
' plates are arranged not only above and be
low the pllts , but between the layers , so
that the heat becomes quickly and evenly
distributed. The current Is easily regulated
bo that the desired temperature can be
maintained for any length of time. If the
regulator Is properly used the plates will
never become overheated and what heat
la applied Is made the most ot Instead of
being to a great extent wasted , as In the
old process , Ileyond this the work can bo
put through much more expedltlousry , the
cloth Is more evenly and efficiently finished
and the cost of the plant and operation In

WINNING UNDER A HANDICAP
Republican Campaign Succeeding Against
the Chairman of the Committee.
MISTAKES APPARENT TO THE OFFENDER
Coniiulltcenieit I'lmi to Take home
of the Work nnil the Move
the Clinlrmnn Into
it CoiiMiltntlon.
If the republicans carry Douglas county
by a good majority , as they doubtless will , It
will not be because , but rather lit spite of
the leg-pullers and heelers who constitute
three-fourths of the campaign executive
committee. It Is over a month since the
county committee organized , but the com-
tnlttoo has not yet been consulted with
reference to the conduct of the campaign.
Oil the contrary , the chairman and his ap
pointees on the executive committee have
assumed to themselves cVery feature of the
campaign work , with the result that little
If anything has been accomplished by the
committee.
So great was the dissatisfaction among
members of the county committee at the
stubborn refusal of the chairman either to
enter upon a vigorous campaign , or to call
the full commlttco together , that n
movement wai started several days ago to
have the committee convene Itself and take
ffalrs Into Us own hands. Chairman Dur-
kink , on getting wind of this move , seized
ils only opportunity to head It off by Issu-
ng a call for a meeting of the committee
next Saturday afternoon.
Dissatisfaction , however , 1s general at the
way In which the chairman Is managing tha
nmpalgn. In previous years not only has
t been a custom to call frequent meetings
f the full county committee , but the dlf-
'erent ' ward members were freely consulted
n everything pertaining to their own wards
and were made responsible for the work
done In their own districts. Thla year , In
his supreme confidence that ho alone cat
carry the entire county In his pocket , Chair
man Burbank and his associates on the executive
ecutive- committee have not only Ignored
he respective cornmltteemen , but have re
used oven to Inform them what Is being
done In the different wards.
CniuimlKii MO Pur a I'lillnrc.
Ward meetings have been held with
out notifying tha ward commltteeman ,
with a natural result that meet-
ngs for the most part have
been absolute frosts , from the standpoint of
attendance. Ono meeting in the First ward ,
for example , not Ions ago , attracted just
twclvo people , In addition to the speaker !
and candidates ; and another In the Second
ward got together an audience of thirty , In.
eluding every one on the program. There
have only been two or three meetings In
the county slnco the campaign opened at
which the attendance exceeded fifty people.
This Is due , perhaps , to a certain extent ,
also to the fact that the meetings have not
been advertised or brought to the attention
of the people who might be gotten out.
Asldo from ft few posters which have been
hung up In the street cars at the Instance
of John L. Webster , the attorney for the
street car company , and a few dodgers scat
tered about here and there , no advertising
whatever has been done. In every previous
campaign every meeting arranged was ad
vertised In the newspapers , and the respect
ive ward commlttcemen made personal ef
forts to get good audiences.
Another thing that Is troubling the com
mittee is the question of finances. The as
sessments were made upon the different
candldatfb nt the first meeting of thfi execu
tive committee , but onfy a small part of the
money hai been covered Into the treasurer's
hands. The reason for this Is that the can
didates themselves have no confidence In the
executive committee , and are reluctant to
pay In money which they do not believe
will get beyond the leg-pullers In the com
mittee Itself. The way In which the com
mittee has spent Its money so far Is not
calculated to reassurethem. . It rented n
headquarters at $100 a month , wthout any
body to occupy them. Even the chairman
fought shy of the place until within the last
week , for fear the ward workers might
trouble him. Money has been thrown away
on halls for meetings which have produced
no results , and a man was employed to take
charge of the polling of the city who only
announced his conversion from populism a
few weeks ago , when there were plenty of
good republicans ready to occupy the place.
The registration , too , has been disappoint
ing , because no systematic work has been
done to get republican voters registered.
Terminal Attendance Ankfil.
In the call for the committee meeting
Saturday , Chairman Hurbank says : "I very
much deslro that you be personally present
at this meeting , and trust jou will so do , and
bring with jou full and complete reports as
to the condition of your party In jour re
spect ho precincts and wards. " It Is
probable that most of the committee will be
present personally , but they are also likely
to ask the chairman and executive committee
for full und complete reports as to the con
dition of the campaign , and to demand some
Information as to what the committee
proposes to do during the remainder of the
campaign.

VETERAN OF VICKSBURG
Colonel MoiitKomcrj , Who AVtm One
of 1'enihortoti'n CoiiinilxNtoncrii ,
to Arrange the Surrender.
Colonel L. M. Montgomery , special agent
of the Treasury department at Washington ,
with headquarters nt St. Louis , Is In the
city checking up the office of the collector
ot customs. He has charge of n district com
pose J ot Missouri , Kansas , Nebraska and
Colorado , and goes from Omaha to Denver
In pursuit of hU official business.
Colonel Montgomery has been for a long
tlmo In the government service , and has
traveled abroad a great deal , through which
ho has acquired n fund of reminiscences
which are decidedly Interesting. To begin
with ho was one of two commissioners ap
pointed by General Pemberton to negotiate
articles for the capitulation of Vlcksburg
with commissioners from General Grant. Ho
describes Pemberton as a haughty and austere -
tero man , a martinet of an olllccr. It became -
came his duty to Introduce Pemberton to
Grant , and after this ceremony had been
performed on neutral ground between the
battlements of the two armies ho says Grant
took out his cigar case and offered Pember
ton a cigar , but although the latter was al
most suffering for a smoke his prldo would
not let him accept the offer. He and Grant
had been classmates at West Point and ho' | '
felt the humiliation of having to surrender' '
to tha hero of Appomattox.Ve hadn't
had anything In the way of tobacco but the
raw leaf , " continued Mr. Montgomery , "and
when General Grant turned to mo nnd of
fered me a cigar I told him If ho would excuse -
cuso mo I would take two , which I did.
Grant always remembered the Incident and
when on his tour of the norld I met him In
Paris ho recognized me and recalled the In
cident. "
When a child Mr. Montgomery was taken
to Paris with his parents and arrived there
at the tlmo Louis Pbllllppe fled the country
In the disguise ot John Smith. He went
there again later when the commune held
the city and whllo his family was In Paris
he was not allowed to enter the gates. He
was personally acquainted with Louis Na
poleon and says the unfortunate emperor
spent three months on thecolonel's planta
tion In Louisiana whllo In this country , at
which tlmo Napoleon told him ho had been
betrayed by his army. This fact was re
called by Mr. Montgomery In connection
with the present atato of affairs In franco.
Mr. Montgomery , a man now In Chicago and
another now In New York were each at
about that time offered commissions In the
Trench army , but each declined. Mr. Mont
gomery was also personally acquainted with
General Boulanger , having met the dashing
olllcer first at Algiers when he was a major.
Later the colonel was one of the commis
sioners to Europe to Invlto the descendants
of old patriots to participate in the celebra
tion of the surrender of Yorktown which
was held In Virginia. He hunted up the
descendants of Lafayette and others who as
sisted the early revolutionists In their strug
gle for liberty , and then went to do the
same service In Germany. He said the feelIng -
Ing was so bitter between the two countries
that It was difficult to get the French to
take part when they learned that Germans
were to be there , and when the German flag
was raised at Yorktowp In honor of the vis
itors from that country the French turned
their backs upon the banner.
Mr. Montgomery was specially warm In
hi ? comnlendatlon of Us , characteristic of
General Grant which made him ever loyal
to his friends. He sad ( he- was brought In
contact with Grant many times after the
Incidents at Vlcksburg , and this chatacter-
Istlc Impressed Itself upon him more than
any other , and said It was this trait of the
man's character which caused his later mis
fortunes , as unprincipled men took advan
tage of the great soldier's confiding sim
plicity. When John Hussell Young wrote the
story of Grant's tour around the world and
Incoporated a sketch of his military career ,
he requested Mr. Montgomery to write that
part concerning the surrender of Vlcksburg ,
which he did.
Mr. Montgomery will remain In the city
until Saturday , combining a visit at the ex
position with his official duties at the cus
toms ofllcc.

treasurer of the plaintiff company was a
j I juror In the coroner's Investigation Into the
1 cause of ono Vt alKcr's death In a prl/o fight
In South Omaha , und as such juror concurred
In finding against and recommending to hold
one J. K. Carroll , acting thief of police of
South Omaha and a pet of said Ensor.
That said verdict had scarcely gained pub
licity when said Ensor dispatched to the
defendant a letter directing him to slop
work on said building at once and that de
fendant accordingly stopped the work as
aforesaid. That when plaintiff asked de
fendant why ho had stopped the work the
defendant said that ho had been ordered to
do BO by the major , that It was because of
I the verdict In the coroner's Investigation ,
and ho said that the wld agent of the plain-
i tiff should have brought In a "minority re
port , " as ho termed It , and In no Instance
did he claim that the work was stopped be
cause of a violation of the tire limits ordi
nance.
I It was further set out that Ensor had
I boasted that he would not permit the work
' of changing the building to continue. On
i this showing a temporary Injunction against
, the building Inspector was Issued and will
I be In force until further orders.

FIND POISUN AS THE CAUSE
Coroner' * Jnry Attnehen Illume too
One In YOIIIIK llnrr ) Hott-
* IIIIIII'H Death.
The Inquest held yesterday In Coroner
Swanaon's office over the death of little
Henry Hoffman , who drank a cup of poison
by mistake last Sunday morning , failed to
bring out any new facts that would fix
the responsibility of the lad's death upon
any ono but himself.
There were several now developments ,
however , regarding the tlmo and manner of
the poison drinking , making It plain that
the boy's life could probably have been
saved had It not been for one or two unfortunate -
fortunate circumstances. This was shown
In the testimony of Herbert Devlue , the 14-
year-old boy who was In sofa charge of
Mr. Hyan's store at the tlmo the Hoftman
lad entered and took the drink. He told
how the latter came Into the store Sunday
morning and , having asked for a drink and
having been directed to the work shop In
the rear of the stare , went back to get It ,
| Devlno said that when the Hoffman boy
j returned to the front part of the store ho
asked what that funny tasting stuff In the
stone jar was , and being told that It was
poison said that he had swallowed a little
Little Devlne then remarked that the poison
would rnako him sick and perhaps kill him
and the Hoffman boy replied that It woulc
be no great IOE if he did die. He then wen
out the door. At that time , according to
the testimony of the Dovlne boy , there was
nothing In the appearance of his friend to
show that ho had taken enough of the drug
to make htm sick. Had the effects of th
poison been evident at once BO the physl
clans could have been called and told wha
the bov'a ailment was It is more than likely
his life could have been saved , but h
u ) was not taken sick until a. few
minutes later , and being thei
I among people who did not know what the
trouble was , he was not given the proper
treatment and died without having regained
consciousness.
Several other witnesses were called , among
them the physicians who attended the bo >
and the man In whose store he had takin
the drink. . The latter testlfled that the so
lutlon was cyanide of potassium , used to
clean jewelry , and that It stood in a stone
jar somewhat res mb Ing the ar that the bo ;
was accustomed to drink from.
After being out a few minutes the jury re-
tuined a verdict to the effe-t tnat the Ind

STRIKES OU1 THE WORD GOLD
Hoard of Kilucntlou Catfm to I ) -
muiiilH of the 1'cipuUntH In the
AVorilliiK of the
A special meeting of the Board of Educa
tion was held at noon yesterday to so amend
.ho school bond proposition ns to satisfy n
class of populists who have been frantlo be
cause of the fnct that the word "gold" had
appeared In It. The original proposition
provided that the principal and Interest of
ho bonds should bo payable In "the gold
coin of the United States. " The populists
threatened that If the detested name of the
> cllow metal was not expunged from the
proposition they would fight to defeat It on
purely political grounds.
Chairman Penfold of the committee which
had drawn up the proposition declared that
the committee had not put the word In for
political reasons , but simply because It was
thought that a better premium could be
secured. The proposition had been copied
exactly after ono that had been presented to
the people of Kansas City , and had passed
because the populists In the city down the
Kaw vvcro not disposed to become so In
flammable when the word gold la mentioned
or appears In the types. He , however , moved
that In order to still all opposition to the
bonds the proposition should be rescinded.
This motion prevailed , and then for an
hour the members discussed what the
principal and Interest should bo payable In.
Finally , upon motion of Burgess , It was
agreed that the bonds should stand and fall
In the fonn of the government wnr bonds
that IH , that the homli should bu payable "In
the coin of the I'nlted States " So amended
the bond proposition was agnln passed and
will be presented to the people.
