Salem, Oro.( Jau. 15. Tho biennial
report o Superintendent J. D. Lee, of
'the Oregon penitentiary, shows thnt
duilng Uio last two years tho num
ber of convicts In the penitentiary
has increased from 278 to 300. The
earnings of tho institution have
amounted to $28,370.02 for tho 2i
months ending September 30, 1902,
and at tho same rate tho total will bo
over $32,400 for two years, as com
pared with $26,700 for tho preceedlng
term. Tho report gives a full account
of tho management of tho institution
and of its needs. The only intimation
that any friction has existed between
tho superintendent and any of his
cio,r,rrllmt(M. is contained in the clos
ing paragraph, which says, among
other things: "I wish to thank all
officers and employes who have been
in harmony with 'my policies and who
have earnestly endeavored to carry
them forward to a successful comple
tion." Tho language shows that there
have been some whose efforts were
cr, nut. nf harmony with tho superin
tendent that ho. did not feel llko
thanking them.

NOVIATE REMOVED.
Jesuits Move From Frederick, Md., to
St. Andrews-on-the-Hudson.
Baltimore, Md., Jan. 15. Tho final
closing today of tho historic old no
vitiate at Frederick, Md., marks an
epoch in the career- of tho Jesuits,
which order has been prominent In tho
affairs of Maryland since, tho landing
of Calvert in 1G34. Tho novitiate has
fcpen removed to St. Andrcws-on-the-Hudson,
for tho .reason, it is said,
that the South has ceased to be tho
center from which novices are -procured
and that the Eastern states,
particularly New York, are more help
ful to the society in this way than, in
the past.
Tho old novitiate property at Fred
erick was bought in tho early part of
tho last century and is within a
stone's throw of tho home of Barbara
Frletchie and of the. grave of Francis
Scott Key. Recently the property,
which had been offered to Cardinal
Gibbons, and refused, -was sold to pri
vate parties and will be cut up Into
building lots.
From 1634 to 1810, the Jesuits, al
though they ministered in Mnryland,
were all educated abroad. The novi
tiate was established in 1810 and the
majority of the members of the Jesuit
order in this country and wno nave
belonged to the order within the last
century wero educated there, which
consequently renders it an Important
place in the estimation of the fathers.
Tho now institution located on the
Hudson is magnificent and complete
iu every particular. It starts on its
career with about 300 novices in
charge of (he Rev. J. H. O'Rourke,
rector of the novitiate.

Always Showed 8trong Admiration
for Scientific Studies Mother Was
a Jolly Irish Lass Childhood Was
Spent In Country.
Everybody knows tho story of Wil
liam Mnrcon's wizard-liko achieve
ments in wireless telegraphy, but few
aro familiar with the scenes in which
tho young inventor moved whilo solv
ing the scientific problem that was to
astonish and fascinate civilization.
Twenty-eight Tears ago, in a little
house adjoining the Marescalchi pal
ace, one of the most famous struc
tures in tho old Italian city of Bollog
na, William Morconi was born.
Many of Ills biographers make tho
mistake of placing his birthplace in
tho Albergate palace, whicli was the
home of his mother during her girl
hood. In Bologna there is no more popular
man than Joseph Marconi, the inven
tor's father. Hale and hearty today
In. his 69th year, ho musters an army
o' friends, who Jokingly call him tho
"lightest hearted and best natured
man in Italy,"
His first wife was a Miss Hanoll,
who lived only long enough- after her
marriage to bear a child a son Louis
Marco.ni, who has lived to make Bo
logna almost as proud of him as it is
of his gifted young half-brother.
Louis served his native city Jn var
ious capacities and was finally elected
councilman on. the strength of his per
sonal qualities and popularity.
Joseph Marconi's second marriage
was with a gray-eyed, keen-witted
Irish girl, Anna Jameson. Two child
ren wero the result of this union
Aiphonse In 1865 and William in 1874.
Passed Childhood in Country,
Tho childhood of the youngest son,
who was destined to electrify tho
scientific .world, was passed in the
Lcountry. f He was a delicate child,
WUO snrauK irom rugged piuy, nuu
early found -his chief happiness In
books, Thero was a good' scientific
library in Villa . Gifrone, tho family
tesldence and tho talented lad revel
ed In it. neglecting his play and
meals, and pouring over his books
night after night until forced -to seel;
rest by his Over watchful mother.
His elementary studies wero masi
tcred during tho winter months in the
schools of Flo.-cnce and later in Leg
horn, whero his Interest In physics
first conspicuously declared llself.
The professors wondered at the ar
dor (hat he put Into his work, and at
tho tireless effort to keep in touch
with tho most recent scientific dis'
coveries. Text-books did not satisfy
young Marconi's thirst for knowledge
his active mind followed every great
scientific movement of tho times nnd
grappled with tho knottiest of scien
tific problems.
As early as 1894 ho had conceived
tho Idea of utilizing the Hertz elec
tric wave as a medium of communica
tion. Tho idea took shape In the
young inventor's mind while ho was
visiting his brother Louis, at Andor.
no. It mado him restless, banished all
interest In social pleasures, and Im
pelled him to cut short his vacation
and hurry homo to tho Villa Gofrone,
whero his great idea was given a nex
perlmontai test.
Newaofthe Discovery,
Tho result jvasiconvlncingto young
Marconi, who hurried with the nowa
of his discovery to Professor August
Rlghl, ono of tho most eminent of
Italian specialists who had long before
predicted great things for the talent
ed youth. Together thoy mado tests
in tho professor's summer home at
Montesc and later repeated tho ex
periments in tho labaratory of the
University ot Bologna. ,
Two years passed and radiography
was an accomplished fact. Marconi .
went to England, wh'ero he continued)
his-experiments, and returned no more
to Bologna save for a few days in
1S98.
His welcome was a civic nffnir that
will long be remembered by Marconi i
mid his delighted townsfolk. The ,
young scientist and inventor, honored
by tho governments and scientific!
academies of the world, was accorded ,
a public reception that crowded, the
Artie gymnasium to its doors with tho
cilto of the city. I
More Eloquent Than Words. ;
Joseph Marconi wept for joy as ho
taw his youngest son feted by his nn
tivo city.
Seated between father and mother,
tho city's honored guest was compli
mented by officials and savants until '
embarrassment nearly forced him to
beat a retreat. I
Ho tried to speak, but his voice'
shook and bis trembling fingers near
ly dropped the upraised wino glass.
Great as Marconi may bo In tho realm
of scientific achievements, he is no
orator.
But his modesty and bashfulness
pleased tho peoplo of Bologna far
more than sparkling eloquence could
have done. Thoy read In his blushes
and halting speech tho welcome fact
that success had failed to spoil him.
