To set the clocks of a big city by elec trical, waves and keep them uniform In tlme-Hlils Is the latest faculty afforded to municipalities by a magician In the science of tMarcotilcs. The inventor Is a Viennese, aii4 his name Is Frnnz Moraweti. He has been experimenting for some years, but it Is only within recent days that he has thoroughly perfected his Invention. At first X was found that utmoxphcrlc unheavals and other disturbing factors rendered his process f tittle when at every moment In the day the receiving clock operated on by the transmitter was attuned to the action df the latter, the result being that high winds and great disturbances of the air upset the proper action and course of the electric waves. In the case of the present contrivance the objective clock is isolated during fifty nine seconds In each minute, In which time it is Insensible to all emission of electrical currents. In the sixtieth second, however, the receiving apparatus, hitherto Idle, Is automatically brought Into circuit with the; transmitter. No two clocks travel at pre cisely the same speed, and since there must be a divergence from a given standard, the waves directed from the transmitter of the central clock the standard time proceed to adjust the objective time-teller to the standard of "headquarters," or the exact sun time. Should the wave, owing to In terruption for any reason, fall to reach its objective clock at the right moment, the harm done, In point of time, would not be great. In fact, time, would be untrue by only one-sixtieth of a second, providing ' that In the previous minutes it had cor-i responded with headquarters. The time would, In any case, be adjusted In the nexti transmission of waves, and the untruthful I timepiece would come Into line with the other clocks' which were correct. The Klecti'O-Technlcal institute of Vienna has adopted this method of looking after the clocks of the Austrian capital. Indeed, the municipal council votes a yearly sub vention of about $1,000 for the up-kcep of the "central post," which radiates waves to a 'distance of nearly n mile In all direc tions over the city. The Inventor holds, however, that his process could keep the clocks of a whole province In correct order. The clocks In question are of the ordinary mechanical kind, but each is fitted with a small and cheap upparatus which, receiving the electrical waves, adjusts the mechan ism according to due requirements. Tho central or regulating clock is an electro niercury timepiece, which, at the required moments, discharges into the transmitter, or antenna, the electrical energy accumu lated in a l'fl-Jar battery.

NEW YtiKK, Ilec. i. -The ntUt ide of President Roosevelt and Hetie.a y of State Eilhu KiH)t on tlie subject 01 woniaii sui fruge was disclosed today at a ititctins under the ajspiees of tho National League i for the Civic Kdiication of Wnniett. Kev. l)r. Lyman Ahholt, ed.tor of tiie Outlook, In the course of nn address In oppuB.tion to granting the r1gh to vote to women resd the following letter from Presi dent Hooscveit, which he tald ho read with the president'! permlss.on, jltliough It whs not w.ltten "for publication nor for thli occasion:" "Personally, I believe In woman'! suf frage," laid Mr. Roosevelt at the outset of the letter, which Is dated November 1'', 1!j8, "hut 1 am not an enthusiastic advo tate of It because I do not regard It as a very Important matter. I am unable to see that there has been any special Im piovement In the position of women In those states In the west that have adopted w nun tuff i ages as compared with those stales auJMning them that have not adopted It. 1 do not think that giving the women suf frage will produce any marked Improve ment In the conultlon of women. No Demand from Women. "I do not believe that it will p oduco any of the evils feared, and 1 am very certain that when women, a! a who.e, take any special lnierest In the matter they will have the su.frage If they desire it. But at present 1 think most of them are luke warm; I find some actively for It ind some actively against It. I am, for the leasnns given above, rather what you would regaid as lukewaim or tepid In my support of It. because, while I believe In It, I do not re gard it as of very much Importance. "I believe that man aniS woman should stand on an equality of right, but I do not beheve that equal. ty of right! means Ident ity of. function; and 1 am mors and more convinced that the great field, the indis pensable llc;d, foi tho usefulness of women Is as the mother of the family. It l! her work In tho household, In the home, her work In bearing and rearing the children, which Is more than any man's work, and it la that work which should bo normally the woman's special work. Just as normally the man's work should be that of the bread winner, tho suppo.ter of the home, and if necessary the soldier who will fight for the home." 'There are exceptions as regards both man and woman, but the full and perfect life, the life of highest happiness and of highest usefulness to tho state, Is the life of the man and woman who are husband and wife, who live In the partnersnip of love and duty, and one earning enough to keep tho home, the other managing the home and -children. Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT." Dr. Abbott, who was the principal speaker at the meeting, argued against what he held would be the Infliction of new and unnatural responsibility and duty upon women by forcing upon them the obligations of public life. The title of his address was "The Assault on Woman hood." Root Takes Same View. Secretary Root, In a letter which was read at the meeting, says: 'I do not consider that the granting of suffrage to women, would, under the ex isting conditions, be any Improvement In our system of government. On the con trary, I think It would rather reduce than Increase the electoral efficiency of our people. I am Inclined to think, however, that if the women of the United States, or any very large majority of them, should really come to want the right of suffrage for themselves, they would ultimately get it. For the purpose of exercising the right of suffrage if they should ever get It, and for the purpose of determining Intelli gently whether they really want it, the women of the country generally ought to have and to slse the opportunity for a greater degree of educatkn In questions of government and In tho practical an of government than they had had up to this time." Richard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century Magazine, presided at the meet ing and In the course of his address, said: "Within a few days- the country has been shocked by the appalling official fig ures of divorce In the I'nlted States. In the face of this lamentablo allowing as to an Increasing weakness of the sentiment of home and family In America, It is reas suring to find so many women willing to stand forth and Insist upon the fact that the home und family are the foundations of the best things that humanity has yet achieved, and to lift up their voices against what In their solemn belief Is a new, in sidious and possibly, disastrous attack upon the fundamentals of civilisation." BUSINESS METHODS IN CITIES Attractive Shonlnii of the Commission Hynirm of Government In Houston, Tes. At a recent meeting of the Carolina Municipal association Mr. Rice, the mayor ,)f Houston, Tex., gave an account of the government of his city whlchwas full of interest as a lesson In what may be ac compliKlud In the way of business munic ipal administration. Houston had for years been suffering under the evils of political government. It was Inefficient and extravagant, and money which was raised by taxation was squandered., Pub lic utilities were unregulated and people had to pay too much for what they gut. Wearying of these things, leading citizens went to the legislature for a city charter on a new plan. Under this plan authority and responsibility were centered In a mayor chosen by the people, voting under the restrictions of the Uwi of Texas. These laws limit the suffrage to those who have paid tho poll tax In person. The main features ot the Houston plan are the elec tion by the people of a mayor who is tho head of the municipality and of small council. Instead ot having a council com posed of men elected by separate wards, the council Is composed of four men elected from the cJly at large. A co-ordinate power la vested In the mayor and cou.icil to dismiss any city official, except the comptroller, without cause at any time. Essential provisions were adopted safe guarding the granting of municipal fran chise!. A larga portion of the executive or administrative power Is subdivided into different departments. Each department Is under the charge of a committer and the mayor, and all the councilmen are members of each committee. One of the striking results of tiie sys tem, as described by Mayor Rice, has been the elimination of red tap and palaver. Any cltlsen who wants a street paved, taxes adjusted, assessment changed, a nulaanco abated, has only to call at the mayor' office, state his case and have the matter decided on the Spot. Not long ago a nonresident landowner cam to Houston and discovered that hi property was sessetl higher than ather dj.tcint prop erty. He asked the ndvlco 'f lnV"j and wns told t i call at tho mayor's offie and mnif the cusp to him. ll did .
