She will have a paved roadway THE DAILY BEg£--OMAHA, FRIDAY DECEMBER, 21, 1883 THERERY HWANGS ‘A TALE. Trof. Elliott, of the Smitheonian Tnsti- tute, says that “‘he traveled over every part of Alaska when it belonged to Rus- sin,and he is fully convinced there should be some simple form of government there. He first went over Alaska in 35, '66 and '67, in the int¥rest of the Telograph land company, laying wires, sclecting stations, ete. It was tho that the Atlantic cable would be a failure, and the Overland company proposed to run telegraph wires overland throngh Behring's strait into Asia and. down into the different parts of Burope. The company spent nearly three millions of dollars in the work and laid nine hundred miles of wires. But it was all deserted when word was re- ceived that the cables worked success- fully. In loss than a year the Indians throughout Alaska had pulled down overy foot of wires, which they used in making salmon nets.” And thercby hangs a tale. Prof. Elliot is a little mistaken in his dates, but that is not material, The first cable across the Atlantic was laid in 1858. A congratulatory message from Queen Vie- toria to President James Buchanan had hardly flashod across the Atlantic, when the cable parted and remained mute for years, American electricians had grave doubts whether that message was ever received, and nearly all of them were pronounced in their opinions that a submarine circuit of over three thousand miles never could be worked successfully. Tmbued with this view,Captain Bulkley, an omment telegraph builder, projected an overland line from America] to Eu- rope by way of Behring's traits and St. Petersburg. Captain Bulkley enlisted in his scheme the capitalists ;who had built the Pacific telegraph from Omaha to San Francisco, and who thus expect- ed to control communication between Amerien and Europe. Chief among these were Jeptha H. Wade, of Cleve- land, Ezra Cornell and Hiram Sibley, of New York,Edward Creighton, of Omaha, Brigham Young, of Utah, and Ralston, of San Francisco. It was a bold and risky venture, to construct, maintain and operate a line of telegraph through British Columbia, Russian America, and Siberia, a region that was inhospitable, unpopulated, and having a polar climate, But there were millions in it, if it proved success. ful. It will be remembered 'that the charge by the Atlantic cable between St. John, Newfoundland, and Valentia, Ireland, during the first year, was one hundred dollars in gold for any messages up to ten words, including the address and signature, and ten dollars for each additional word. Gold was then at a premium of 50 to 70 per cent, which made the charge for a ten-word message about $150, and §16 for each additional word, in greenback currency. The Overland, or rather Russian tele- graph, as it is called, absorbed about $1,000,000, when on the 3d of August, 1866, a second Atlantic cable was finished, ¢ communication between America and Kurope was fully estap- lished, This knocked the Russian tele- graph scheme higher than Beecher’s “Life of Christ” for a few weeks. But another break took place in the cable, and the doubters in its practical workings became more than ever positive that it would prove a failure. Fresh supplies and additional materials were shipped by way of Panama to Van Couver, and work on the Russian telegraph was pushed more vigorously than ever, when, as Prof, Elliott says, the Atlantic cable was grappled by the Great Eastern from the depths of the ocean and successfully spliced. Then the Russian telegraph scheme collapsed. And thereby hangs another tale. While the Russian telegraph was being built, the section of the overland Pacific tele- graph lines between Omaha and Salt Lake City was consolidated with the Western Union, and Jeptha H, Wade, its president, became president of the consolidated company with several of his former partuers as directors. When the Russian telegraph scheme collapsed its stock became worthless, and then the genius of our telegraph system showed itself equal to the emergency. The Western Union company absorbed the Russian telegraph and issued $3,000,000 of Western Union stock to take up the worthless Russian stock. The Russian telegraph syndicate had frosted their fingers in the polar regions,’ but they manageéd to thaw ' them out. They in- vested about $1,200,000 in money, for which thoy had issued nearly three times as much stock, and in the exchange for Western Union they pocketed about one hundred per cent on every dollar that they had invested. And ever since 1867 the people of the United States have been paying divi- dends on $3,000,000 worthless stock, which represents the wires which the Alaska Indians are now using for salmon neots. AN Omaha merchant, who - considers himself a prodigy in devising cheap and novel advertising schemes, has got up a combination * crazy-quilt” dodger, with cards advertising millinery, face pow- ders, hosiery, hair pins, bustles, liver pads, Bt. Jacob's oil, perfumery, pocket koives, corkscrews, and other articles too numerous to mention, Sev- eral thousand of these artful dodgers have been posted on telegraph poles. The in- « | ventor and patevtee of this original de- vice probably thinks that the ladies are in the habit of hugging the poles. To make his scheme more attractive he ought to hang samples of the goods ad- vertised on the telegraph wires. An array of female apparel, such af hoop akirts, bustles, stockings, petticoats, hair nets, waves, curls, waterfalls, bangs, cor- sets, bonnets, bandboxes, etc., would mako a novel spectacle, and would draw immense crowds, where the dodgers alone would not attract a corporal’s guard, THE POOR AT (HRIST- MAS. Charity begins at home, and it covers a In Omaha there are REMEMBER multitude of sins, hundreds of poor but deserving familics, to whom Christmas will be the same as any other day so cerned, unless far as enjoyment is con- yme friendly hand shall give to ther e little aid and comfort, While the rich Christian hol 8¢ reat - ing the he poor will be su from hunger and cold. g, perhaps, Omaha has had & prosperoas year, and our rich men have become richer. 3 will not hesitate to spend money freelyin giving to their families and immediate frionds costly presents. Thousands of dollars will Le spent for diamonds, jowelry, silks and satins by men who will not think of giving to the poor even ono dollar, unless they are asked. Tuw Ber thinks it proper to remind such men that they should not forget the poor. liberal on this occasion, Let then: cover & multitude of sins by exercising a practi- cal charity. 1t ought to be a pleasuro to the wealthy to aid the poor, and we be- lieve that it is a pleasure to large number | v of our rich men. All that they need, perhaps, is a little reminder. We can ousily pick out one hundred men who would not miss a hundred dollar dona- tion to the poor, and some of them could easily give five hundrod dollara, 1t will not be a difficult matter to find out where the poor peo- ple live. It certainly ought to afford the greatest pleasure to a rich man to send a Christmas turkey to this family, a load of coal to that family, clothes to another, a barrel of flour toa fourth, and 8o on, to the extent that he canafford. At the same time the chil- dren of the poor ought to recewve a few of the Christmas knick-knacks in their stockings, and to make a sure thing of it a new pair of stockings ought to accom- pany the knick-knacks. Now is the time to act on this sugges- tion. Do not delay until Christmas day. Spend a little time and money at once in behalf of the poor. Seek out the homes of the destitute, and so arrange it that your gifts to them will be reccived in time to make Christmas day for them a day of joy with all the world. SACRED MUSIC IN DENVEL. Many persons in Omaha and other Nebraska cities and towns will remember Prof. Seager, whose occupation is get- ting up ‘““‘Queen Esther” oratorio enter- tainments, on the mutual benefit plan, he, of course, always receiving the lion’s share, Having “‘done” the ocities of Minnesota, Jowa and Nebraska, he is now ‘‘doing” Colorado. At present he is in Denver with lus ‘‘Queen Esther.” He is meeting with a warm reception there; that is to say, they are making it rather hot for him. His plan of operat- AR 11 DUBTVS 1 Lok b anwma_that he. has pursued elsewhere. 4 This is what the Denver Ncws has to say: ‘‘Professor’ Seager, who is run- ning the ‘‘Queen Esther’ show, says that the News dislikes him becouse he spoke respectfully of ‘‘ex-Governor Hoyt, of Cheyenne, who is a republican and a gen- tloman.” This most extraordinary rea- son may be the cause of our esteemed contemporary’s eccentric refusal to ad- mire *‘Professor” Seager, but we are dis- inclined to helieve it. The truth is that while ex-Governor Hoyt may be a republican, ge is anything but a entleman. and the ““Professcr's” ardent declaration that he is one will meet with a very cold reception here. He will be recollected by people with a memory fot trifles as the boor who was governor of ‘Wyomin, at the time General Grant passed throug Cheyenne on his return from his trip around the world on eighty cents’ A Colarado delegation went up to Cheyenne to A)ay their respects to the general then, and not only they, but nearly everybody in Cheyenne and General Grant to boot, were thoroughly disgusted with the niggardly, selfish and contemptible way they wero treated by Hoyt. If the ““Professor” is going to run his show on the basis of respect for Huyt he will get very little support here. 1t will be much better for him to switch off on another track, He hassat down on this one. The Denver Zribunc thus speaks of the professor: A person named Seeker, or Segar, or something like that, has un- dertaken to convince the people of Den- ver that they ought to buy tickets for the alleged opera of *‘Queen sther,” in order toaid the Home for the Friendless, Now, while we feel very friendly to the Home for the Friendless, we do not think that the people of Denver ought to permit themselves to bo duped in this matter, This person Segar, or whatever his name may be, is mainly intent upon m&inflmnnoy for himself; he came here to fill'his own pockets, not to md the friendless, and he will vanish like smoke when tho Queen Esther business is over, We do not blame him for trying to help himself, but we do not believe that the public should be misled by false pretenses in this matter. It it quite certain that if the alleged opera is at- tempted at all, it will be a very flat and wearisome execution of music and char- ity. Under the terms of the business ar- rangement it is most unlikely that the Home of the Friendless will get a dollar of the ble receipts, and those who buy tickets should remember this, Char- ity is sufficiently strained in Denver for legitimate objects, without making it a mask for' an ambush of opera, and named Segar is not a fit subject for public aid. Itis quite evident that Prof. Seager needs an organ in Denver. When hein- vades another Colorado town he ought to not only have au organ, but a monkey to pick up the hot pennics, We half sus- pect, however, that Denver is not partial to sacred music, much less to oratorios like “Queen Esther.” 1f he had come to Denver as the manager of & ballet troupe or a slugging combination, he would have been welcomed with open arms by the entire population, ETE—————— + Mz, LowiNg, of the national posey garden, has been way off in his guess of Let them be | o .1 i Wb e S BB the aggregate production of corn in the northwest this year.

Before corn had been grown in the Jamestown settle- ment suflicient to keep away starvation, mulberry trees had been planted, and tue culture of silk begun. In almost every American colony the same experi- ment was tried, and always with dis- couraging results. Silk was at one time believed to be the long-sought staple that should take away the reproach of barren- ness from New England.
