REVIVAL of trade in china.
At the dinner of the American Asiatic
Association at Deltn-'nicos in New Tork
on last Thursday right our minister to
; China, Mr. Conger, raid that there would
soon be a revival of trade and renewed
commercial activity in China. This Is
good n*ws in this part of the country.
There will be great disappointment
among Southern cotton manufacturer* and
planters if it should prove not to be cor
: rect. The trouble in China has done great
i injury to the cotton states. Many of
| the cotton mills have suspended opera*
■ ttors or are running on short time be
ause of • e falling off in the demand for
: their prod , t- from China. The de-ilne
in the consumption of cotton by South
■ ern cotton milis has no doubt had a tie -
pressing effect on the price of ooston. The
Boxer outbreak therefore had bad a dam
aging influence upon business in the en
tire cotton section.
As to whether trad* with China will
revive soon will depend to a great extent
upon the settlement of the question o?
indemnity. It is understood that the
amount demanded by the Powers is *315.-
999.000. China of course says that she
cannot pay any such sura, but that she
is willing to try to pay ■ if no interest
is demanded and she is permitted to pay
it in thirty installments, one Installment
each year. S?he points out that eren un
der that arrangement H will be necessary
to 1- r ,?e :-.e ta- ff tax on imports at
the treaty ports. Without greater revenue
from Imports she would not have a suffi
cient in ome to mee the expenses of car
rying on the government after paying
the indemnity installment.
There are no indications that the Pow
ers will accept the non-interest. Install
ment plan of paying the Indemnity. It
may be months before a settlement is
reached. In that event It may be a year
or more before China will be able to take
as much of the products of the cotton
mills of the South as she did before the
Boxer uprising.
If Mr. Whareon Barker, the Populist
a H ilda te for President in the last cam
paign, understands the situation in Chin a
, the time is coming when that country
wi.l not want anything from this or any
• other country. It seems he has made a
thorough investigation of China’s re
; sources, and believes that she will not
only raise all the cotton that she will
| need for home consumption, but that she
. will manufacture . Indeed he thinks
| that she will make cotton goods for for
{ eigr. markets. He thinks, too, that China
j iU. at some time not very far distant.
beat the world in manufacturing iron and
! sieel products. He admits that during the
] next few years she will be a market for
j steel bridges and all kinds of railway
I supplies, but she has an abundance of
coal and iron ore. and her labor is plen
tiful and cheap.
Of course It will be years before China
can compete successfully with this coun
try in manufacturing or raising cotton,
but the time may some when she will be
a troublesome rival. With her teeming
population, and labor satisfied with a few
cents a day, she may be able to make
the Christian nations wish they had nev
er attempted to force their civilisation
upon her.
STILL A SILVER MAN.
On Wednesday, according to a dispatch
In the New York Journal. Mr. Bryan
nddreesed a meeting of !•>.(W people at
Nevada. Mo. In the course of his speech
he said: "I am still a silver man, but
Just now there are Issues which over
shadow the silver question." He treated
with contempt the Idea of the Democratic
party being reorganized by the gold-bug
element.
A little incident which occurred in this
city when Mr. Bryan was here as colonel
of a Nebraska regiment, during the Span
ish-American War. shows that Mr. Bryan
is much like thoee Northern philanthro
pists who are always insisting upon bet
ter treatment for the negro, but who.
themselves, refuse to have anything to do
with him.
Mr. Bryan wonted a souvenir spoon
to carry back with him to his home In
Lincoln, Neb., and he purchased one at
a first-class Jewelry store for C SO. He
offered in payment a five-dollar bill, and
the change was offered him in silver
two silver dollars and a half dollar. He
declined to receive the silver, and asked
if paper dollars could not be given him
instead. He was told that silver was In
quite general use In the South, because
silver was sent by the government to pay
off the cotton pickers, and, besides, other
sections of the country, not liking stiver,
It waa dumped on the South.
Mr. Bryan refused to take silver,
saying that he would rvx take the spoon
if he could not have paper money In
change. The obliging clerk, rather than
mis* a sal* to so distinguished a cus
tomer, hustled around and got a couple
of paper dollars. If the clerk had insisted
on gtting Mr. Bryan silver In change the
latter, In all probability, would cot have
carried away a souvenir apoon from Sa
vannah. While Mr. Bryan may be a sli
ver man. he prefers silver for other peo
ple. and paper money, based on gold, for
himself.
A TALE OF “THE TALENTS."
The Rev. W. Emerson Karns. pastor
of the Erworth Methodist Episcopal
Church at Jersey Shore. Pa.. Is a man
of at least one talent He knows how to
work upon the human weaknesses. One
of the greatest of these weaknesses, which
is to be seen in Wall street and else
where. Is the desire to get eemething
for nothing. The Rev. Mr. Emerson
made a strong play upon this weak point
recently. He caused to he advertieed
several days in advance that upon a cer
tain evening, at the service In his church,
be would distribute money, which he had
received for that purpose, to every per
son who attended. He did not announce
in what amounts the money would be
distributed, nor did he Intimate that the
distribution would have a string tied to
It. There was about the whole affair
that delightful air of mystery which sur
rounds the lottery. The possibilities of
getting money without working for It.
or giving anything of value In return,
appealed Irresistibly to the people of
Jersey Shore. T'pon the night Indicated
the Rev. Mr. Emerson's church was
packed to the doors. The people were
there looking for money. They got It.
but not os they had expected.
Instead of handing out snug sums, the
preacher caused to be passed around
among the congregation envelopes In
each envelope was a copper cent, while
on the back of It was printed this leg
end! "This la your talent. Don't wrap
( it up in * napkin, but uaa it Your love
THE MORNING NEWS: SEN DAY, MAY 19, IDOL
I for the success of the cause will be de
termined by your efforts. Harness up
this talent % and make it pull In others."
Then the preacher delivered a sermon on
the parable of the man who. about to
travel In a far country, called his serv
ants to him and delivered unto them va
rious talents, giving to one a single tal
ent, to another five, and to a third ten.
He explained that this method of raising
money with which to extinguish the
chruch debt had suggested itself to him
during prayer. He hoped, therefore, that
the persons who had received the “tal
ents" or cents would return them in
creased ten-fold, or a hundred-fold, or a
thousand-fold.
The people in the congregation looked
at each other sheepishly They recognixed
that they had been cleverly caught, but
they did not know off-hand whether to
regard it as bunco or an inspiration. They
had come in the expectation of receiving,
and by accepting the envelopes had tacti
ly placed themselves under the obligation
of* giving. It was generally conceded,
however, that the preacher was a shrewd
one.
IN SOUGHT ADVICE.
We feel sure that Charleston will resent
the advice of Mr. William E. Curtis, the
Chicago Record-Herald correspondent, as
much as Rev. Sam Jonas resented the
statements Mr. Curtis made concerning
him and his wealth. Of course Charles
ton's resentment will not be manifested
in as vigorous and picturesque language,
but K i* probable that it will be shared
in by most of her citizens.
Mr Curtis says that ’the good people
of Charleston have been planning an ex
position to be opened on Dec. L hut that
to a stranger's eye it looks as if it would
not be ready by that due.” Further
along in bis article he says: “The best
thing the exposition people can do is to
postpone the opening for another year."
Well, that ia rather cheeky advice, to
say the least of it. What does Mr. Cur
tis know of Charleston's ability to do
things in a hurry when she is so disposed*
He says the people of Charleston "have
been planning. '* Just as if they were not
still planning, the exposition. If Mr.
Curtis had inquired he would hare found
doubtless that the work on the exposi
tion braidings is being pushed along fast
enough to Justify the conclusion that they
will be reedy in time for the opening.
Charleston Is not in the habit of putting
off things which she has undertaken. Her
exposition will not of course be as big as
that at Buffalo, but it will be a credita
ble one in every respect, and will, in
all probability, be as well worth seeing
as that at Buffalo.
Mr. Curtis is a very bright man. but the
information he pirks up, and the impres
sions he gets, In his journeyings through
the country, are not sufficiently correct
to make his letters valuable or his advice
acceptable.
PLANNING FOR THE GOVERNOR
SHIP.
It took* very much as though the pol
iticians of the upper part of the state,
those fellows who, when there was less
fellowship between Upper and Lower
Georgia politicians than there Is now,
were called Cherokee Indians, are pre
paring to capture the gubernatorial, chair
j and all of the rest of the state house fur
; nlture. They have been keeping the Hon.
F. G. dußignon of this city before the
people as their candidate, and. at the
same time, praying that something would
happen to prevent him from accepting
the leading place on the ticket. The
movement to set aside Mr. dußignon has
been begun. It Is reported from Atlanta
that his health will no* permit him to
be a candidate for Governor,
Asa matter of fact Mr. dußignon, ac
cording to reports that can be relied up
on. Is steadily Improving. He Is to be
seen on the streets every day, and Is
attending to the burdensome duties of
hi# large 1' practice. As far as the
people of Savannah are informed he has
not Intimated jhat he will not be a can
didate for the gubernatorial nomination.
They certainly intend to stand by him
as long as he is a candidate.
If he should decide not to be a candi
date Lower Georgia should push to the
front another candidate. There are hun
dreds of men in this section who could
fill the gubernatorial office with honor to
the state and credit to themselves. There
Is a man here in Savannah who can get
the vote of Southern Georgia If he will
but say the word. He is an able lawyer,
a good financier and a first-class busi
ness man. In addition he is a man of
spotless private life. He Is a good speci
men of an honest, stalwart South Geor
gian. We refer to Mr. Brantly A. Den
mark. If Mr. dußignon should for any
reason decline to be a candidate let Lower
Georgia name Mr. Denmark as Its choice
for Governor.
Science In the new century is steadily
advancing upon lines that must challenge
the admiration of the layman as well as
the professional. The point has already
been reached at which science has been
able to announce authoritatively that all
hump-backed mosquitoes are harmless,
while the malaria-breeding and scatter
ing Insect has a Grecian bend. All that
! Is necessary, therefore, to tell whether
| your mosquito Is filled with wicked Intent
j and fever germ* Is to catch her—for only
the female Is harmful—and ascertain if
she wears a Grecian bend. That fashion,
by the way. Is obsolete, and if the fe
male mosquito were up to date she
| would know It. It went out with water
falls and "Dolly Vardens" some eighteen
to twenty year* ago.
The gratifying news comes from San
Francisco that Mrs McKinley ha* rallied,
and haa a fair chance for recovery. The
i country will rejoice. Ever since It be
! came known that she was seriously 111,
the first thought of the whole people has
been concerning her condition. Every bul
; letin from the sick room was eagerly
awaited and anxiously scanned: and there
was universal sympathy for the sufferer
and her devoted husband. It Is sincerely
the hope of every American heart that
| the gentle lady will recover her health,
and live lor years to gladden the home
ol her distinguished life-partner.
The New York Yacht Club does not
own the ocean, or the bays and harbors.
Mr. Thomas W. Lawson can, therefore,
go out and race his yacht I ndopetidence
against passing craft to his heart's con
tent. Or he may put up a cup of his
own and race his yacht against time
and win It without trouble. There are
lots of way* In which Mr. Lawson can
have fun with hi* boat, without asking
, tbs New York Yacht Club any odds. .
"What is sillier than gulf?” asks Bish
op Mallalieu of Massachusetts. At the
meeting of the Srangellcal Alliance In
Beaton the other day he proootmded the
duery. "U hat is more foolish and s!Hy.“
he continued. 'Than to see a mac take
a club and whack a little round ball to
see if he can place R in a little hole
away out in the field somewhere”' H*
thought the game was fitted only for lit
tle chKdren. It is safe to say the good
Bishop has never played golf, and It may
be doubted that he ever played shinny.
The Baltimore Sun has Just reached
and passed its sixty-fourth anniversary,
hearty, vigorous and prosperous. The
growth of the paper has been parallel
with the growth of the city, until now
Baltimore and the Sun stand In the front
rank of their class. Each has woo suc
cess by deserving it. In its fifty-first year,
the Morning News extends congratula
tions to its friend and contemporary, and
wishes it many happy returns of its
birthday anniversary.
"Rut s Hill," at Greenwich. Corn., the
hill down which Gen. Israel Putnam
made his famous hreak-r.ack ride when
pursued by the British, was recently
threatened with Invasion by a trolley
road. The Daughters of the American

the scene of the historic incident, with
such success that the trolley line will now
run around and avoid the place of Old

CURRENT COMMENT.
The New York Tribune, discussing the
Greene-Gaynors-Carter case, says: "If
the contractors who dealt with him are
innocent they ought to have no difficulty
in proving it and explaining stir the
suspicious discoveries of the government.
Them long fight to escape trial can hard
ly have failed to shake public confidence
in their ability successfully to face the
accusations. A prompt offer to prove
that all their transactions with Carter
were honorable, after his frauds had been
discovered, would give them a better
standing in public esteem than the appeal
to dilatory tactics to avoid meeting the
charges of complicity In bis wrongdoing
But, however such methods may influ
ence the popular mind, they are still
within the rights of accused men, and
Judgment must be suspended till the trial
I* concluded. The important thing is to
have a full and speedy trial. It would
be a travesty of Justice to punish Carter
for his crimes and not bring to book bis
civilian accomplices, whoever they were.
He must hare had some accomplices. He
could not have carried out his frauds
otherwise. If the accused contractors
are innocent, then who are the guilty?
That question can only be answered by
the trial of the persons against whom
suspicion Is now directed."
The Louisville Courier-Journal (T>em >,
discussing Senator Morgan's position re
specting Oba, says: "He concludes that
the highest form of liberty will be Cuba's
as a member of the American Union, and
thnt the bestowal of this liberty would
bring such happiness to mnnkind and
such honor to our free government as
hove not been equa.ed since the establish
ment of out republic under the Constitu
tion. This admission to statehood should
be made, moreover, as In the case of Cal
ifornia. without territorial probation. 'lt
would b* unwise, unprofitable and wrong
to delay that auspicious event when no
real advantage could be gained by de
lay.”
The Washington Times (Demi saya:
“There are some discomforts connected

Worth the Difference.
Ir, 8. L Powers' story at the Middle
sex Bar Association dinner the lawyer
tried the case for the complainant, says
the Bos*on Record. She sued a middle
aged gentleman for breach oi promise.
He married another girl. The Jury re
tired, and the defendant also went Ms
way. The Jury returned, the defendant
did not. The Jury found for the plaintiff
to 3SJO damages.
The lawyer met the middle-aged gen
tleman a few minutes later in the lobby
of on adjacent hotel.
"Squire " said the latter, “bow did the
Jury decide?"
"Against you." was the answer.
"I didn't think they would do that,”
said the middle-aged gentleman musing
ly. "What's the damage?”
'That am t so bad!” he exclaimed on
being told. "Squire, there's that much
difference between the two women!"
A Scathing ftebake.
Mr. Porktnlard was confused, says the
Ohio State Journal. Boston is such a de
vious city. A little miss of seven sum
mers passed him. and patting her kindly
on the head, he queried:
“Sissy, please tell me where Beacon
street is?"
The wee apostle of culture stood aghast
at his dreadful audacity. When she had
found her voico she said, cuttingly:
"How dare you address me by such an
appellation as 'Sissy?' I would have you
understand, sir, that I am not an infor
mation bureau. If you wish to know the
whereabouts of Beacon street, pray con
sult a city directory or apply to the blue
coated menials of the law.”
Mr. P>r ken lard looked puxxled as she
swept off.
”1 don't believe I kin remember all
them direekshuns," he muttered.
Mr. Cleveland's Prowess.
The hunter who kills a loon in a fair
fight is entitled to- as much credit as he
who tilts a tiger, grasses a grizzly or
halts a Rocky Mountain sheep in mid
air, says the New York Press. The last
is perhaps the most difficult feat of the
sportsman. The Indians think so. On#
afternoon in camp in the Adirondack*
President Cleveland heard the laugh of a
loon on the lake, and taking tip bis gun
remarked quietly, "I'll be back in time
for dinner.” As he disappeared in the
direction of the water the wink was pass
ed around. Old hands chuckled, filled their
pipes a-fresh and retold familiar yarns
with glee. It was awfuHy jolly—Presi
dent going to kill a loon! Why, the best
native hunters in the North Woods had
been after that loon for years! To cut It \
short, Mr. Cleveland got back an hour
before dinner with the loon, and didn't
seem to think he had dome anything won
derful.

how the place keeps tip its reputation.
The trouble ts that as soon as a woman
begins to be intellectual she begins to
look like it.
Love will make a girl’s heart feel as
big as a man’s wisdom tooth the day he
decide# to have it pulled.
If a man always look his wife's advice
probably he would never either have any

If she chose, most any married woman

An Appeal to Yerkee.
A London paper says that C. T.
Yerkes. the American street railway mag
nate, now jn London, recently received
the following letter from a young wo
man: "Dear Mr. Yerkes: I have seen
by the papers how rich you are. and also
I have seen your picture, which looks
kind. So I thought I would tell yon that
my parents are poor and depriving them
selves of many comfort® in order to gwe
me a good education. Among my school
friends there is a gymnastic club, of
which I am a member, and all the girls
wear silk skirts; and It give* me the hor
rors to feel I can't have one. when I
hear the fascinating rustle of their pet
ticoats. Would you send me 15 to buy
one? Yours." etc. Mr. Yerkes received
the unique epiotle from his secretary,
and. to the latler’a astonishment, ex
claimed: "Send her the money . It wt'l
give more pleasure than If Invested In
any other way." The money was sent,
and the acknowledgment was as follows:
"Dear Mr. Yerkes: Thanks so much for
the money. I Invested It. and can now
rustle with the others.”
Poor Old Hobby!
He came home some rights age a bit
tired from a busy dsy's work, and his
wife waited until he had got off bis over
coat and sat down, says Tit Bits.
“Did you get that piece of silk I asked
you to bring?" she Inquired, seeing that
he had not laid It before her
"Yes. dear; I left U out thero In the
haP.. ”
"Did you get the ptns?”
"Yes. dear.”
"And the ribbon?” } ■*
"Yes.” , ~
“And Bobble's shoes?" —•
"Yea” * - *
"Ands hearth broom?” • * •
"Yes”
"And a wick for the kitchen lamp?"
"Yea"
"And some mate he*?"
“Y'es: they are with the other bundles
"And did you see the man about tha
coal?"
"Yes; It will be up on Monday."
"And the man to Ax the grate in the
dining-room?"
•*Yes; he * coming a* soon aa he can ”
"And did you go and pay the gas bill?"
"Ye*, dear.”
“And-and—oh. yea. did yoo order anew
shovel for the kitchen?"
"N—n—no." he hesitated; "I forgot tt."
"Good gracious!" she exclaimed. "What
did you do that for? You know wo need
ed that shovel, and I told you about It
the vers- first thing when you went to
town this morning I do think you men
are the most forgetful and most careless
creatures that ever lived."
And she was cross for the reef of the
evening.

—Adrian Dimnent, of Milwaukee, Is the
official death herald of the Hollanders of
Milwaukee. ATthougn he is nearly eighty
four years old. he manages to call on the
336 Holland families of the city in about
a day er.d a half. Wien he makes his
rounds the children, seeing him in the
distance, inform their parents that “Dim
iny is coming." His coming is anxiously
awaited, even by the neighbors of these
famSiios The announcement, aljtays m
the Hot and language, is prefaced by pre
senting the compliments of the bereaved
family. Then follow the name of the de
ceased. age and time and place of funeral.
Unless any other information is desired,
which is usually the case. Mr. Dimnent
continues on his route, with short inter
vals at the homes of the families upon
whom he calls at H, 12 and 3 o'clock,
which are the hour* for luncheon and
meals. This custom of announcing deaths
among Hollanders was brought over from
the old country, where all births ana
death* are announced by a man wearing
a uniform similar to that of the Carman
pall bearers.
—A leading insurance Journal says
somewhat pathetically that colds cost the
life insurance companies a million dol
lars a month, says the Saturday Evening
Post. What they cost those who catch
the cold is. of course, quite beyond civil
or reclaim, but the paper goes on to warn
the careless who happen to own policies
how to be able to keep on paying pre
miums a while longer. The gist of the ad
vice is to avoid exposure, keep out of
drafts and tight a cold from start to fin
ish. "The grave is still very hungry,” it
adds. "Besides, the life insurance com
panies would like to save a million a
month." The highest medical authority
in Journalism gives the following: "The
philosophy of prevention is to preserve
the natural and healthy action of the
organism as a whole, and of the surface
in particular, while habituating the skin
to bear severe alterations of temperature
by judicious exposure, and natural stimu
lation by pure air and clean water, and
orderly habits of hygiene and health ”
All this is important at this particular
season. People are changing clothes, rush
ing out upon golf fields, taking long rides
on wheels, speeding in automobiles,
swinging along in country rambles and
eTiming the open air and its breezes, in
its way It is well, but overdoing leads to
undoing.
—The oonchological collection of the
Academy of Natural Sciences has Just re
ceived important addition from the hands
of Mr. Y Hirasei of Kyoto. Japan, says
the 'Philadelphia Record. The moi.iskian
collection in the museum of the academy
is the finest in the world, even outrank
ing that of the British Museum. It Is
rather interesting, then, to learn that
about ®o<> trays have been added, many
of which contain species utterly new to
the collection. These shells were collect
ed by Mr. Hirasei in the waters around
the Japanese archipelago, and many of
them are found to be entirely new to
science. Mr. Hirasei is a native of Japan,
of high cultivation and considerable
knowledge of natural sAence. as Is evi
denced by his sending hie collections
where they could be properly compared
and named rather than naming them him
self. In the collection are to be seen spec
imens of living braehiopeds. which ere
nearly now extinct, though In ancient ge
ological times they were exceedingly nu
merous. Attention should also be directed
to some rather insignificant, yet very In
teresting, animals known as Chitons.
These are in reality a sort of mollosk.
although their shell is divided into eight
segments, and they are capable of roiling
themselves up like an armldillo. in fact,
they might be termed the "armidillo of
the sea.” Mr. Hirasei has discovered a
new species of this curious creature,
which is to be named for him Onltbehiton
Hirasei.
—Terence Powderly, the United States
Commissioner of Immigration, wants the
scope of the Bureau of Emigration en
larged to embrace a record of departure
of aliens, and he desires legislation pro
tiding for the use of such data obtained
by the Immigration official* as would pre
vent the violation of those laws. Mr.
Powderly has recommended already that
Congress enact legislation of this char
acter. In discussing this subject Mr.
Powderly used rather strong language
He said: "The naturalization of aliens,
which should be one of the most Import
ant functions of somebody, now is left
to nobody, until the alien himself thinks
fit. or some politician, who expects to
think end vote for him, believes he should
become a citixen. Then the courts are ap
pealed to. but no other tribunal has any
thing to do or say in the matter." The
commissioner believes the difficulty could
be removed in a measure by requiring an
alien, on his arrival, to say if It is his
purpose ultimately to renounce allegiance
to his own country and become an Amer
ican citizen. If the alien answers in the
affirmative, the commissioner say*, it
should be made a matter of record. whi"h
should be used at the expiration of the
five years' residence required before nat
uralization papers are given. If. on the
other hand, the alien declares it Is not
his intention to become naturalized, be
should be required to state hia purpose in
coming, end this fact should be recorded,
■fin either case." said Mr. Powderly. "the
greatest care should be exercised in as
certaining his fitness to land."
—Fertile as the nineteenth century was
in remarkable Inventions of all sorts, the
record of the twentieth promises to be
even more brilliant, says the New Y'ork
Times. This statement cannot be ques
tioned by anybody who read the article
which we published yesterday about the
new passenger cars of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Therein was it sol
emnly stated that among the superiori
ties of these cars over all previous cars
is one derived from their equipment with
a mechanical device whereby the windows
can not only be opened—that’s not so
very wonderful, since car window* were
opened several times in the hundred
jeers past—but can be opened easily, by
the touch of a finger, as It were, and can
be made to stay at any elevation the pas
senger desires: We are not accustomed
to throw discredit on information sup
plied by ourselves, but we frankly con
fess that this piece of newa la. on the
face of it, incredible and that only long
mirtured confidence | n the trustworthi
ness of our railroad reporter gave ua the
courage to print his amazing tale. If
anything had seemed established on a
rock foundation it was the belief that
even American Ingenuity was Incompe
tent to solve the car-window problem,
and even the most optimistic of commu
ters—commuter*, for instance, who can
deceive themselves a* well as others Into
the conviction that the town they Ur# In
has neither mosquitoes nor malaria—had
long ago abandoned the hope tf finding a
car window the opening of which would
involve anything less than a strained
back, the loss of three finger nan*, and
a blackened soul. And now we are told—
and tell other*—that anew era has
dawned: that hereafter, car windows are
to be fitted "with special fixture* and so
carefully balanced that they can be rais
ed by a simple mechanism fixed to the
sill." And again—"when this mechanism
is pressed lightly''—think of that, "press
ed lightly:”—"with the finger, the sash
rises and stops at any point desired by
the passenger!" Poor old nineteenth cen
tury! Where now are her telephones, her
phonograph*, her Rontgen ray*, her elec
tric telegraph, her pl**-ln-elover. and her
fifteen puzzle? All eeffpeed and outdone.
