THE ILLUSTRATED BEF March 2, 1902. 8 Marconi Wireless Telegraphy Was Successfully Employed in Communicating nt Sea Between Ships and Announcing PRINCE HENRY'S PROGRESS. The Kleetrlc Current la Bald to Have liokrn a Mlstore of Engllih and German. Marconi has triumphed again. His sys tem of transmitting thought through the medium of the atmosphere was successfully applied in communicating from the Kron TTInx WUhelm to other vessels as Prince Henry crossed -the Atlantic ocean. The wireless system seems fully to have appre-hi-nded Its opportunity, for one message was received from the vessel In broken English. The Kffeet 'Warn Itilhrr Startllna:, but nevertheless It was the proper form for the occasion and created no little amuse ment. The prince Is said to have com mented humorously upon the Incident. The prince's visit has aroused great enthusiasm. The American people are hospitable to a marked degree and have spared no effort to make the distinguished foreigner feel that he is welcome. The genial prince shows his excellent blood and breeding. It Is to be regretted that He Cannot Come to Omaha. One who visits America without seeing Omaha and Nebraska misses much that Is American and Instructive. Had he accepted the Invitation to cross the Missouri river the people of this city would have shown him a western welcome and the nnnkrra Reserve I.t'e Aanoelatlon would have tendered him a special Invita tion to examine Into the progress made In Its brtef'but successful career. Indeed, the management stood ready to offer him a twenty-payment life policy on a modern plan In a vigorous, growing company more than able to carry out Its contracts. II. If. Roblnon, President of the Dankers Reserve Life, knows what life Insurance should be. He has had more than twenty-five years of experience In this field. He defies any alien competitor to meet Mm anywhere on the propositions which form the reasons for the success of this home company. He also Invites com petent underwriters to correspond with him for agency contracts. Three Nety, State Open. Within a few months the company will organize three new western states. First class men can secure virgin territory now. where they are certain of profitable fields for work. Write him at the home office. McCugue building, Omaha. Bankers Reserve Life.

When be made his first call at the White House President Roosevelt greeted him with the remark, "I am glad to meet the baby of the house.' " Mr. Lever re sponded, "The baby of the house Is hon ored in being greeted by the baby presi dent." The president enjoyed It so much that he repeated It. James W. Tufts, the millionaire soda fountain manufacturer of Boston, who died recently, provided In his will for the dis tribution of $80,000 among his employes In amounts ranging from $100 to $500. To each of his five foremen and the six head men In the countingroom of his establishment he left $500; to each of the 320 married men In his employ $200 and to each of the eighty unmarried men $100. Only those who were employed by the company four year ago are to receive the awards. Mr. Tufts also left $100 to each of his domestic servants, $25,000 for a trade school In Boston and $50,000 to his daughter to found a home for deserving girls and wo- men. The bulk of his estate is left to the widow, the son, the daughter and the son In-law, all of Medford. Mass. Prof. Mark W. Harrington, once occupy- ing the chair of astronomy at Ann Arbor, and subsequently chief of the United States earner oureau at me national capital, is said to be working as a day laborer in a North Pacific coast lumber camp. Shortly after the political changes which led to Prof. Harrington's downfall in Washington his health failed. Insomnia undermined his strength and impaired his activity. Within the last six or eight years he has had a variety of experiences. He was presi dent of the University of the state of Wash ington for a year or two, went to the Orient, where he was overtaken with scarlet fever. and after his return to this country worked on a Lousiana sugar plantation. Still more recently he filed a homestead claim In the fir forests or Washington, tut instead or clearing the land himself he entered the employ of a lumber company at Port Blak- rly. An Ann Arbor dispatch says that his outdoor life is Improving his health, con duclng to sleep and restoring his ambition. He has hopes of returning to his old place In the Intellectual and scientific world. A New Englander. about 70 years old, having learned that Dr. Henry Van Dyke made occasional expeditions to Canada and elsewhere in search of big game, recently sent to him a pen drawing made by himself of a stag, and underneath placed thta mott, In large letters: "Thou Shalt Not Kill." ?'" VJ?y M MMJl r?i the drawing thanked his friend for his klndness and suggested that under certa n conditions a more appropriate text would be Acts x, 13: "Rise, Peter; kill and eat." George H.

"I had offered a valuable ften demanded for taking on an appren t piece ot property at $60,000 and at the ties, and the parent, frequently furnish the Noted People same time I was trying to buy a tract of pine trees. While the deals were pending I ran across a gypsy fortune teller In tho woods and I asked her to tell my fortune. " Tou will be very lucky In your deals,' she said. " "That's good,' I remarked. " 'Yes,' continued the fortune teller, 'your luck will beat your brains.' Governor Vphman says that the woman spoke the truth. A few days later the syndicate which held the option of $60,000 upon the property he had offered at that price decided not to accept It, and It was not long before he was able to sell the land for almost double the amount. The Boston Herald Is editorially respon- Bible for an alleged tradition that tells how Ralph Waldo Emerson, the sage of Concord, once went on a wild, reckless spree. Weary of Marcua Aurellus, Alcott and the serene heights of Concord, he re- solved to make a plunge into the vortex of crime and folly In a great city to see vice and the vicious at close range and thus learn by experience of the under world. He went straight to the saloon of one, Brlgham, In Boston, in those days far famed among Harvard students as the aborlglnal inventor of more "fancy drinks" than anyone since the days of Father Bacchus. Bewildered by the festive scene and the endless list of beverages he had never heard of, he asked Brlgham which one 0f tne wooie bibulous catalogue might D0 relied on to Impart the largest sum total of experience in the shortest possible time; to which devout inquiry genial Brlgham who at once took in the situation is said to have replied: "Oh! I guess a glass of lemonado would be the right thing for you." A woman who knew Mrs. Cleveland quite well, says the Ladles' Home Journal, met her at the Grand Central station In New York recently, fairly laden down with par cels. 'You look like a real old-fashioned Santa ciaus," she said to Mrs. Cleveland. "Oh, no, not quite that," was the reply. 'for I have no toys in my parcels; they are Oiled with fruit that I am taking out to wj,ere I am staying, because they are fond of these particular things and they can't be had out there." When Mrs. Cleveland left the train her friend thought that she would give pleasure to the brakeman by telling him that he had "entertained an angel unawares." So she said, "Did you see .that lady on the platform with all thoee parcels?" "Yes," he said, "what of her?" That's Mrs. Cleveland."

The average day la twelve or more hours long and about the only . . 1. . , lfv Notwithstanding these low wages, there are vast number. In China who work for less. Apprentice, receive no wages what- In nny of the trades they have to work five years, during which they receive only food and lodging. In other trades they clothes for their son during his apprentice ship. According. one union law no mas ter can employ an apprentice who has not served out his full time, and no one can employ more than a certain number of ap prentices at the same time. Employers who violates such rules are liable to be fined by the unions, and manufacturers who entice apprentices away from other fac tories can be fined. Any apprentice who wants to give up a trade before the end ot his term may do so, but In that case he cannot go back. Every union has a copy of its regulations printed on red paper, and this Is posted up in the various stores and workshops, so that there Is no excuse for either employers or men not knowing what the rules of the unions are.

InterNirklna; Time-Saver. A great aid and time-saver in handling trains In yards has recently been adopted by the Union Pacific system In Omaha. It is the Interlocking switch signal system. This Is conducted entirely with electricity as motive power, and all the switches in the passenger yards at Union station and the freight yards west and south are con trolled from two towers, one at each end of the passenger yards, where men manipu late small levers that do the work. This system was installed at great ex pense, but now that it Is completed, only four men are required to handle the tracks and trains twenty-four hours, one in each tower twelve hours a day. Three more are employed in the maintenance of the plant, which Is very intricate. The tower men have charge of eight pas senger tracks their entire length from the Missouri river bridge to Fourteenth street, and of eighty-five switches and seventy seven signals. Forty-two of these switches are passenger track appliances. The others are In the freight yards. The towermen have a lever for every switch and every signal, 162 in all. They handle about sixty passenger trains a day in and out of Union station. Soft Harness Yon can mnke your hr nena aa soft u a glova and as tough as wire by using EUREKA liar, ne a a (III.
