ANGOSTURA BITLE dren. _ tiers TESLA’S OSCILLATOR, What is Claimed for This Latest Elec- trical Invention, From the Boston Transcript. ‘Tesla’s latest invention, the “oscillator,” is cne of the most remarkable appiiances of the age. It is described as being the core of a steam engfhe and the core of a dynamo combined and give an harmonious mechan- teal adjustment. This combination, says an enthusiastic admirer, constitutes a machine which has in it the potentiality of reducing to the rank of old bell-metal half the ma- chinery at present moving on the face of the globe. It may come to do the entire work of the engines of an ocean steamship within a small part of the space they occu- py, and at a fraction of their cost, both of struction and operation. It will do this work without jar or pounding, and will re- duce to the minimum the risk of derange- ment or breakage. There is nothing in the whole range of mechanical construction, from railway locomotives to stamp mills, which such an invention may not revolu- tionize. The essential characteristic of the machine is the application of the pressure of steam to produce an extremely rapid vi- bration of a bar of steel or piston, which, in turn, is so adapted to a set of magnets that the mech: 1 energy of the vibration is converted into electricity. The extraor- dinary result is that practically an ab lutely constant vibration is established, and a power is obtained greatly beyond that ob- tainable in the most costly expansion en- gines using a similar amount of steam. Besid ving in mechanical friction the thirty-five per cent of loss in the working of the engine, the fifteen per cent of loss by belt friction and the ten per cent wasted in the dynamo, making altogether an addition of sixty per cent to the available energy ob- tained from the steam for the purpose of producing’ electricity, it is simpler, smaller and i%ghter than the mechanism it is des- tined to replace, absolutely constant in its action, automatically regulated and subject to the least possible amount of wear and o- tear. ‘The utilization of this machine in any branch of in ry ‘would result in an ap- preciable lowering in the cost of production, and it is quite pgssible that its first general employment may be,in electric lighting. In the face of this marvelous invention a recent statement of ‘Tesla seems hardly no longer visionary. The young Montenegrin said, “I expect 40 live to be able to set 2 machine in the, middle of this room and move it by no other agency than the energy of the medium ili m§tion around us.” Hissiag in Theaters, From the Hartford Colirant. The recent decision of a New York court that a man has a#‘much right to hiss in a theater as to°applaud is common sense at least. A mahager offers a certain en- tertainment for which people pay in ad- vance. He encoureges them to applaud if they are pleased, but objects vigorously to their expressing disapproval, if that 1s what they feel. Theoretically, the case is perfectly plain. Most managers hold that the right to hiss does not exist in practice. Some of them h that no hissing will be allowe ionally some one is eject- ed for thus relieving his mind. It seems, however, that the New York managers who were interviewel afier the recent decision in court did not, as a rule, contend that spectators have no right to hiss, but that hissing is di and that they have a right to re! money of the dissatis- fied person and compel him to leave the room, Some of them s ey would eject @ man who hissed and their chances, but more spoke ter and one or two said any cn to hiss, and could not be int for it. ed with WAGES IN GERMANY! Small Earnings of Workmen in Steel and Tron Industries. Commercial Agent Murphy Makes an Interesting Report on Economic Conditions in the Fatherland. After an exhaustive examination of the wages paid in large manufacturing estab- lishments of Luxemburg, which, he says, are about the same as are paid in other parts of Germany, George H. Murphy, United States vice commercial agent there, transmits to the Department of State a re- port on the wages paid in the steel and fron industries, with a general review of the whole subject of German wages. He finds that generally speaking the average earnings of ordinary workmen amount to less than §200 per annum. Women earn about half as much as men. The average wages of miners and foundry hands is less than $1 per day. The salaries of primary school teachers are $224 for males and $179 for females. A very large majority of the employes of the government earn less than $400 per annum. On the other hand, still speaking generally, the necessaries of life cost as much in central Europe as they do in America. Hard to Keep Out of Debt. A workman’s expenditures for clothing | and rent may possibly be somewhat less here than in America, but in the town of Luxemburg coal costs $7 per ton, eggs, 2 cents per dozen; rye flour, 3; wheat flour, 5; sugar, 8; butter 25; beef, 19; veal and mutton, 16 to 20; fresh pork, 20, and smoked pork, 28 cents per pound, Frugality industry can hardly be expected to acco: plish any miracle greater than that of abling a thrifty workman to keep out of debt. This distressing state of affairs is no doubt in part an unavoidable result of the competitive demand for employment which must exist in every densely populated country. But the misery of the European poor has been aggravated by that popular craze which causes the large towns and cities of Germany to grow with rapidity as phe- nomenal as that which is doubling and trebling the population of our own western cities. An important point of difference, however, lies in the fact that foreign im- migration largely accounts for the develop- ment of our towns, whereas German cities expand almost entirely at the expense of the rural districts, Evils That Effect LaLoring Classes. Consequently the labor market Is glutted, wages keep falling, and the evil is en- hanced by the increasing use of labor-sav- ing devices. The competition between man- ufacturers also forces down wages. The policy of the countries of Central Europe Seems to be to extend and inflate their manufacturing industries indefinitely and suicidally. ‘Their idea of national prosperity and of happiness seems to be nothing more than the atiainment of the ability to ex- port manufactures and import food, and in support of this policy the governments take fromm the workingmen an import duty on his food, in order to give the manufacturer an export bounty. The much-talked-of dis- armament of Europe will, if ever realized, bring further calamity by adding to the labor markets millions of young men un- fitted for country life by several years’ residence in city barracks. The develop- ment of our American manufacturies is undoubtedly of great importance, but American workmen and women have good reason to favor the restriction of immigra- tion, and to view with apprehension the tendency to inflate our manufacturing in- dustries beyond safe limits. e+ THE MONGOOSE. Ravages of the LitUle East India Ani- mal in the Is! dof Jamaica, United States Corsul Eckford at Kingston, hearing from the American newspapers that Mr. Vanderbilt has imported the mongoose for his estate near Asheville, N. C., has sent out a note of warning through a re- rert to the State Department, and says it will be well for our government to profit by Jamaica’: experierce and prohibit the im- portation of the mongoose into the United States. He recounts the evil effects follow- ing the inffoduction of+the animal from India jnto Jamaica to destroy the rats which infested the sugar and coffee planta- tions. They did their work so well and in- creased so rapidly that their natural food ly was exhausted and they began to pzey upon all small living creatures, All of the ground birds were wiped out, all snakes aud tcads and Jand crabs. Newly dropped calves, young p'gs, puppies, game, turtles, all fel! victims to the mongoose, which be- cane a much worse pest than the sparrow in America and the rabbit in Australia, As @ resvit of the destruction of these small eveatures, all insects multiplied amazingly until they have become a pestilence at some BEWARE OF seasons, and the people of. Jamaica now want to exterminate the mongoose. ae JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT. Revorder Taylor Must Pay $12.50 and Coxts—What He Said. Mr. ©. H. J. Taylor of Kansas, also the District recorder of deeds, appeared in still another light today, that of defendant in a suit brought by Mr. Charles Baum to recover just $12.50. Several weeks ago the man from Kansas purchased from Mr. Baum twenty-four chairs, two tables and two office chairs for $25. He paid $12.0 on the bill, and then enjoyed the luxury of a sult against him for the balance. The case was set for a hearing before Justice of the Peace O'Neill, just across from the city hall, at 11 o'clock this morning. ‘The plaintif! was promptly on hand, but the defendant was not, and, after waiting half an hour or more for the President's friend, the justice gave judgment against him. ‘About'ncon Mr. Taylor sauntered in, expressing himself as being greatly sur- prised that the justice had not waited for him before deciding the case. Justice O'Neill called the defendant's attention to the fact that he had given him all the grace the law required, and that, besides, he (the defendant) had acknowledged the debt in a letter to Mr, Baum. “Oh, well,” exclaimed the distinguished Kansas, “it’s of no consequence. I ac- knowledge the debt, and {t's a small matte I will give you over a check.” Then, after Mr. Taylor had explained that the articles had been purchased for political purposes, for a number of young men, and that the furniture was stored in the city hall, he retired. ————s Personal Mention, Dr. George Henderson, surgeon general of the District ional Guard, has returued to the city from a three weeks’ stumping tour in West Virginia.

In the case of Bessie Quinn against the Richmond and Danville Railroad Company, in which the plaintiff recovered $15,000 last week, the defendant has entered a motion for a new trial. Miss Quinn was severely injured in a collision on the road in 1887 and sued for $15, A FREE SILVER PARTY What the Believers in the White Metal Will Probably Do. Will Vote for No Presidential Can- didate Unt He ts Pledgea to Free Coinage. Out of the ruins of the democratic party the silver men are hoping to organize a silver party. The aim of the great advo- cates of the free coinage of silver 1s to bring together in one poiitical organization all men of thelr own faith. It is held by such men as Bland on the one side and Teller, Dubois and Jones on the other that the cause of silver has been seriously injured by the fact that the believers in that metal have been led to maintain their allegiance to one or the other of the old parties according to their convictionssas to the tariff and other questions, In other words, they have allowed their divisions on the tariff to interfere with their properly standing together on free coinage. The purpose of the leaders now is to ignore all other questions and make the fight for free coinage the paramount issue in the politics of the future. The republican silver lead- ers in the Senate will unquestionably at- tempt to lead their old party into the recog- nition of silver as a money standard be- fore the split from that organization. Fall- ing to do this they will without breaking their allegiance to the republican party ecntinue the fight for silver in whatever Ways they can until the meeting of the national convention. A Free Silver Party. If they fail at this convention to secure fe nomination of a President pledged to rry it out, it {is sald that they will im- mediately join with all other silver men willing to go into the venture in organizing a free silver party. The expectation is that they will not have to organize an en- tirely new party, but will make an alliance with the democratic party if they as an organization will make free coinage of silver the paramount issue of the cam- paign and pledge their candidates for that couse, It is said by men interested in the cause of silver that neither Teller, Dubois, Wolcott, Jones nor Stewart will vote for the next republican candidate for the presi- dency unless he is committed to free coin- age and running on a free coinage plat- form. On the other band, it is not belleved that any of the radical free coinage men in the democratic party will vote for a cadidate nominated by their party who is not irrev- ocatly committed to free coinage. In some. torm or other it is predicted that the next great battle will be on the silver question, either through the democrats committing themselves completely to free coinage and thus drawing the stpport of all silver men, or els? by the organization of a new party composed of silver men drawn from boti the old parties and making a sectional di- vision between the west and south on one hand and the east on the other. Democrats Have No Hope in the East. The overwhelming defeat of the demo- crats in New York leaves scarcely a possi- binty for any hope that they may again get control of that state within a good many years. Nor have they any hope of recovering their lost ground in New Eng- land or elsewhere in the east. New York end a few New England representatives which the democrats have had have been the conservators of the democratic party, which have kept them from being more radical on the silver question, Their ac- tion on this question has been tempered by a desire to hold New York in the demo- crate column and to strengthen the New england democracy. By the almost com- plete annihilation of the eastern wing of the party the democrats are deprived of this in- centive to conservatism and moderation on the financial question, and it is very free- ly predicted that from their hopelessness of regaining their foothold in the east their issues will be made up entirely with the view of pleasing the south and west, thus bringing about the sectional division in poli- Ues which the silver men long have sought. ———+o+—_____ Army Orders. Leave of absence for ten days is granted Capt Charles G. Ayres, tenth cavalry. Leave of absence for six months, with permission to go beyond the sea, is granted First Lieutenant John Cotter, fifteeath infantry. A board of officers is appointed to meet at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for the exam- ination of officers for promotion. The detail for the board ts: Lieut. Col. John N.

Devol, twenty-fifth infaatry; First Lieut, Charles L. Steele, eighteenth infantry; First Lieut. Edmund D. Smith, nineteenth infantry. ————+o+___ Operation of the New Tariff Act. The statistical bureau of the Department of State has published a set of advance sheets of consular reports embudying re- ports from United States consuls upon the operations of the new tariff act so far as they have been manifested. There are re- ports from Bradford, the great English wool center; from Sheffield, the cutlery depot; from northern Mexico, whence hides and live stock come; from Marseilles, the great exporting city of French finery; from Glas- gow and from Colombia, the latter particu- larly interesting as showing the failure of our retaliatory policy. All of these reports depict the great depression existing at these foreign ports under the McKinley law and the stimulation of trade consequent upon the Passage of the new tariff act. Chinese Decision, Assistant Secretary Hamlin has issued a circular letter to customs officers embody- ing the recent decision of Judge Lareombe of New York on the application by Chin Yuen for a writ of habeas corpus.

The annual report of the third assistant postmaster general is ready for submission to the Postmaster General. Some facts regarding the stamp issues taken from his report are interesting. There were issued during the term che order was in force 2,014,233,100 Columbian postage stamps; of these 1,464,588,750 were two-cent stamps and 449,195,550 one-cent stamps. The use of the Columbian stamps necessitated a change in the color ef the special delivery stamps, as there was a great deal of confusion over the similarity. A review of the transfer of stamp printing from the American Bank Note Company te the bureau of engraving and printing i made, and it is declared that, notwith- standing the complaints made of the char- acter of the stamps issued by the bureau, it has been successful, and that there will be a saving to the government of $343,26€ for one year and $1,443,156 for four years. It is now claimed at the department that the faults in new stamps complained of will be remedied, and that the new issues will be as good as those furnished by the American Bank Note Company. The third assistant postmaster general criticises the act of Congress of July 16, 184, which allowed admission to the mails as second-class matter of publications o: benevolent and charitable ussociations, mostly secret society publications. He says that since that act forty-six publications heretofore excluded have been admitted to the mails, whose annual aggregate circu- lation is about 6,400,000 copies. The esti- mate weight of this matter is about 640,000 pounds. He says: “Many of these puSiica- tions are purely advertising sheets or cir- culars, but as they conform to the law they cannot be excluded.” There has been a falling off in registered letters during the year 1804 of 510,856, the total pieces registered amounting to 15,050, 554. There have been 5,026 complaints of losses of registered packages during the year, of which 4,269 were investigated by the chief inspector and 1,657 are still out- standing. Of those investigated there was no loss in 2,443 and loss in 1,826, with an actual loss after being traced of 923. eaveaiancnanliadier: 4 National Geographic Society.
