. BEGINNIfGG OF TELEGRAPHY, 9 Wue Twelve Years Before Congress Wec<»<rHZe<l Morse’s Invention. Fraetk‘a.l use of wireless telegraphy I on an extensfve scale may seem tar I distant to the lay mind, yet the progmress iHilch luw been made is pej | f markable, espeeially when It is —FI * considered bow ’4^ slow was the deI / ■ e ? -^ais velopment of the !/ / telegraph itself. I M |l 'li The year 183 tls . it. —sjj generally recog- ; e nized as that of ! t j, (> t> rth of the moksb’s i iksi ix- telegraph, but t-1 hi mex r. Samuel F B Morse began his experimeius as early as 1532. His first practicabie instrument was J not perfected until lSh>. It was a elum- | sy affair and bis friends ridiculed him i for wasting his time and money on I such a useless toy. This “toy” Is now In the cabinet of the Western Union Telegraph Company of New York. | There Is little about it to suggest the j neat little Instrument in use to-day. The story of Morse's twelve years’ struggle before he could induce Congress to make appropriation for an experimental line is a familiar anecdote ' to illustrate the struggles of inventors I ' to gain a hearing from the world. Dur- ! ■ Ing these years the original idea was I greatly modified. Morse knew nothing I of what is known as the Morse alphaI bet. His complicated system, as described In his 1837 caveat, consisted of I a number of signs by which numbers ; ' and consequently words and sentciK -s 1 j were to be Indicated Fhere wa a set of type arranged to regulate and I eoniaiuuicate the signs and rules In which to set this type, A crank turned by hand regulated the forward movej ment of the type. The writing apparai tus made marks on a slip of paper. ' Vail discarded this and Invented the dot and dash alphabet which is now In use. A London paper contains the assertion that Marconi was not the real InI ventor of the system of wireless telegraphy. W. H. Preece, electrician aud | engineer-ln-chief to the postoffice, no- ! tlced In 1884 that owing to Induction i messages passing along one wire could | be read on a wire eighty feet away. I Early in 1895, when the cable connecting the Island of Mull with the mainland was broken, Mr. Preece succeeded in communicating over the two miles t>y means of induction. Use was made I as two gutta percha Insulated wires I that ran parallel to each other, one on 1 the mainland and one on the shore of the island. During the four days that । flapsed before communication was | satisfactorily established. 158 messages were transmitted, including a i<ess dispatch of 120 words. in spite of this prior claim Marconi’s name will be associated with wireless telegraphy, just as Morse’s name Is with that of the telegraph, although Henry and Vail did more than he to । perfect it. aud it was anticipate! by i a score of other Inventors, such as I Schilling. Gauss. Weber, Steinhell and Cooke. The idea Itself had long b»s n , a dream of the imagination, aud as । early as 1032 Galileo, the gr :* a a . mer, referred to a secret art by which, through the sympathy of magnetic needles. It would lie possible to converse at great distances. •'ROCK OF AGES." How the Famous Hymn Gme to Be Written by Toplndy. That famous hymn. "Rock of Ages.’’ I was written by Rev. Augustus M.

CHILDREN PERISH BY FIRE. Six Lives I.oat in Burning of St. Annes’ Convent, Sparkill, N, Y. । Six lives were lost by the burning of the St. Agnes’ convent at Sparkill, five , miles south of Nyack, N.

When the flames were diseo\cre<l the sisters and Chaplain Aheurn hurried through the dormitories awaking the 30u boys and fifty girls who were sleeping ■ there. The startled, half awake children, as soon as they appreciated the cause of the excitement and realized that their home was burning, fled in nil direction* like frightened sho-p. The sisters hero- ; ically endeavored to restrain them, but i to no avail. They rushed down the j stairs in a panic. Some fell and were trampled upon by others. The sisters md chaplain remained behind alarming the i children until driven from the r >»ne by fiatnes and smoke.

CRUSADE AGAINST MORMONS. t ~ ; , Southerners I sine Far and Feather* , to Get Rid of Missionaries. A new crusade has been begun throughout the South which will lead to riot and bloodshed. It seeks the ex- ] termination of Mormonism in the Southern States. Os late years the Utah sect > has bwn gaining a foothold in the mountain regions that alarms those who hold , decided views in opposition to the polygamous religion and the result is an es- » fort to break up the congregations. Within ten days fifty elders have been [ assaulted and driven from the places . where they were preaching. Assaults _ on missionaries who are seeking converts in the mountains are numerous. In । . Georgia and Kentu-ky Govs, Candler । pin.! Wad ley b. v. b. < . appialed to to ; | give the Mormons protection, but the administering of decayed eggs, followed by 1 tar and leathers, continues. I President Rich, of the Southern Mormon Mission, is hot after the perpe- i ■ trators of outrages on the elders and ; their churches. He has already offered ■ j $5<X) reward for the capture of the men • who instigated recent mobbings of Mor- ' mons in Georgia, and us soon as he re- ; ceives the authority from the head of the church, he will offer large rewards for i the arrest of the men who have been j committing outrages in Eastern Ken- : tueky. especially in Fleming and Bell , Counties. He says the Mormon Church will spend SI,(X)6,(KX) to keep the tuis- 1 sionaries at work in the mountains. Perryville, Ky., is full of Mormon elders, who are meeting with strong op- ; I position. They have been refused every : public building in the city, and are comixdled to preach on street corners and , in alleys. Several citizens have posted notices on their yard gates requesting ! Mormon elders to stay out of their : homes. At least one hundred of these ; elders are in the mountains of Southern ' Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee. NINE SOLDIERS DROWNED.
