Within the past three weeks the news
papers have printed columns concerning
the new queen, who previously liad .been
very, little known even to the British
j-uhllc. In the mass of matter that has
found its Way Into print many Interest

majesty's traits of character. Some of
ler likes and dislikes and other Interest
ing characterlstlcs( may ;be summed up
vs follows: . '
Her gowns are always simple and her
coiffure severe. .
She cares little for beautiful ' jewels
nd generally wears none a all, except
at state affairs. ,
ch tm vrv atrnnclv that women in
lAgh places should be an example 16 the
rest of womankind and that e.xtrava
rance in dress Is bad taste and a bad

Bryan D. Kotiwoody. Freewater, Or.
There Is a gre:it scarcitv of labor in the
Walla Walla valley at "present. Kvery
available n,ai! or woman who will work
Is being eagerly employed by the fruit
growers. The strawberry crop will not
last very much longer, "but the early
cherries will soon be in and pickers and
packers will be needed all summer. The.
fruit crop is exceptionally good.

Fernando Jones 00 Years Old.'
. Chicago, May 2. Fernando Jones, the
millionaire whe long ago established his
reputation as the court of last resort
for all disputes concerning the early
history of Chicago, kept open house for
his friends today In the celebration of
hU ninetieth birthday anniversary. Mr.
Jones settled In Chicago in 1835 and one
of his earliest memories of the city is
that of viewing Bailey's comet from the
lake front 75 years ago. At that time
vFort Dearborn still existed for tha pro
tection of the citizens against the Pot
tawatomie Indians, who lived In the vi
cinity. While still a young man he went
Into the abstract business and compiled
abstracts of all the titles In the county.
These titles were the only ones existing
after the official records were destroyed
- In the great Chicago fire, and from them
Mr. Jones and his associates In business
reaped large fortunes. ; ..

Detroit, Mich.., May 26. Delegates
from all over the state were present to
day at the opening of the joint mnmial
convention of the Michigan Humane so
ciety and the Michigan Audubon society-
The convention, will remain In
aesslon two days and will be devoted
chiefly to the consideration Of proposed
changes In tha humane laws of Mlch-
"W. W. Malone. , Lincoln. Cal. Our
country I mean by that the few coun
ty surrounding I'lacer has developed
nearly 25 per cent a greater population
within two years. There are reasons,
of course; there is much Industrial and
development work going n and new
railroads have contributed their share
toward the Increased prosperity.
Arthur a Stewart, Enid, Okla It Is
estimated that at least 500 white men
nave married Indian squaws in , our
country within the past 10 yearshot
for love, but "riches. Each Indian woman
received a half section of mighty fine
land and there were plenty of white
men who we're perfectly willing, to ex
change thelr.names for that land. Many
are now rich, and I "don't believe I ever
heard of a divorce among them.

In those, days of marvels we are pre-
i pared to believe almost anything In the
line of Invention, but when we are told
ttiat 5000 words a minute can be sent
by telegraph. If we do not question It,
we would at least like to be ehown.
Yet that Is what Is actually being done
today, and In a commercial sense, too.
i Patrick B. Delany, for 40 years a
telegrapher. Is the magician whose won
der working brain conceived the possi
bility of making a machine do In one
minute as much as the most expert hu
man hand could do' in 100 minutes.
In nearly all great labor saving de
vices there Is a wide gap between the
Ideal plan and the perfected, practical
machine that will carry out the concep
tion of the Inventor. ' So it was with De
lany's revolutionary, epoch making
method of transmitting words by wire.
Achieves Success.
Tremendously Imbued with the belief
that his theory was right, and with the
knowledge, that he was adding Immeas
urably to the world's wealth to . spur
him on. he, with others he Inspired to
assist : him, ' worked "unceasingly for
years to produce a perfect machine rthat
should perform a miracle as startling
to the scientific mind as the Morse tele
graph was 60 years ago.
Delany achieved a success which Is
one of the marvels of . the ae. He
brought under control what had hith
erto been the tyrant and antagonist of
all who sought .to Improve telegraphy,
the "static charge" in the wire, and
caused It to cooperate In his wonderful,
though strangely simple, schema
That accomplished, the rest was easy.
Automatic transmitting and receiving
Instruments were constructed, and an
experimental section established where
the new' method was thoroughly tested
month after month in all kinds of
weather and all sorts of conditions. In
this severe trial Delany's most sanguine
expectations were realised. The tele
post was tha result, a commercial tele
graph system; so rapid, bo cheap, so au
tomatically accurate, that It Is leaping
Into popular demand more rapidly than
anything since the Bell telephone.
r i Teleposts In Demand. , .
The first year over a thousand miles
of Telepost wires were strung, connect
ing some of the large centers of the
east. Nearly every week a new city Is

It often happens that an Inventor de
rives little benefit from his Invention.
Not the least gratifying feature about
the Telepost Is the fact that Mr. De
lany is reaping the reward of ycara of
unremitting devotion to an Idea, , Some
what altruistlo In temperament, De
lany longrd to create a telegraph sys
tem for tha people and of the people.
Here was a corporation orpanlred to
control a public service utility of al
most unquestioned value, which Wall
street millions were not allowed to
control.
The savings of the common people
are building the lines, and they will re
ceive the .profits which are sure to ac
crue from the development of rapid and
cheap telegraphy; while Delany's con
structive genius, as consulting engineer,
safeguards every opportunity for Im
provement and progress. ; u'
