Swearing and kissing by Telephone.

That we do live in an age Of progress is Wig

hard swearing be done by telephone, but that

men are but mortal, and a mortal dread of
smallpox is part and parcel of their being.
How were those bills to be met? Financially,
easily enough; but to be handledi-there was
the rub. The situation was grave, exceedingly

A Scotch clergyman, DR.. Waddell, thinks he

Satan, the father of all evil The learned
divine reads the solution of the problem in
that revelation of an angel coming down with
a chain and key and binding the dragon and
casting him into the bottomless pit The
angel, he says, is electrical science; the chain
is a coil of telegraph wire, and the key is the
telegraph key. The angel of the dream has
come down with the coil and the key aud il
encircllng the world with chain Lightning.
The preacher saith that in exactly the proper
ton that electricity circles the world evil will
be defeated and the regeneration of mankind
will progress. In this view telegraph-wire
stretchers and telegraph operators will sup
plant preachers, and the electric light is 8

An Unbroken Circuit OF 3, 800 Miles.
Scientific American
A wonderful feat, even for this age of won
derful things, was performed over the line of
the Western Union Telegraph company few
days ago, says The Kansas City Journal, at
which time President W. B. Strong, of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, talked
by telegraph from Boston with G. c. Wheeler,
general manager of the company at Guaymas,
on the gulf of California, distance of about
$500 miles. The circuit, II is claimed by tele-
graph experts, was one OF the longest ever I'M
dertaken in America during daylight, and was
from Boston to Chicago, thence to Kansas
City and Pueblo, Col, from which point the
wire ran south to ancient Santa Fe.
N. NJ, the home Of the fire worshipping Pueb-
los, and then to Benson, in the southern
portion of Arizona At Boston the wire led
south across the line into Mexico, through
Sonora to Guaymas, on the gulf of California
At Guaymas, General Manager Wheeler and
party who few hours before had driven
silver spike into mahogany tie, completing
the line of the Sante Fe road from Kansas CITY
to the Pacific ocean, were in waiting, and
about IL o'clock by Pacific coast time the
announcement was made that Boston was
90. K"
STICK tick-tick tick, clicked the little in
strument beneath the telegrapher's hand at
Guaymas; "tick-tick tick-tick," though very
family, spoke the instrument as the sound
passed through the Kansas City office, and the
same instant it was heard in Boston, In less
than five seconds came the reply from Boston,
where President Strong was in waiting. The
answer being heard at Guaymas, the two chief
executive officers of the longest con-
tinuous line of railway in the world under
one management talked with each other,
receiving and sending congratulatory messages
over the completion of the road, one with the
Atlantic ocean at his feet, and the other on
shore washed by the Pacific, $500 miles away.
At stations between the two points, in states
and territories through which the wire passed,
operators listened at the instruments for the
sound, and when at last the circuit was in
good working order, all that was being said
was heard at different points as the sound
passed over the wires.

Shore. Alton & Terre Haute which was
depressed yesterday and closed at 801a,
to-day advanced to 8434. The market be-
came quite dull during the middle of the
day, though the reactions were trifing.
Western Union touched SSl and after
wards seemed to be supplied at about 49,.
The company makes an excellent showing,
the only shadow on it being the suits not
yet dismissed or compromised.
The grain markets having become quite
stagnant, many dealers are again taking
hold of railroad shares in preference.
There was quite squirt in Ontario & West
ern about o'clock, with sales at 2S4.
The opening of the West Shore road, with
which it is closely allied, causes the activ-
ity, but it has been very slow for many
months. There was good deal of real
izing during the last hour, and still North
western and Northern Pacific closed at the
highest for the day. The speculative feel
ing seems to be on the increase. Denver
applied for listing $7,500,000 of new
stock, which was refused for the present.
The issue is on the Salt Lake line. Louis
vile & Nashville has been very strong on
buying, thought to have been in the in
terest of a prominent operator who is
alleged to have large number of calls out
standing. full pool is alleged to be
working in the stock, and the idea of a
dividend in the fall is diligently circulated.
Insiders have very little to say upon the
subject. They allege that the stock ought
to sell great deal higher on the strength of
increased earnings. Capitalists at Louis
vile are reported bullish on the stock, and
look to see it standing much higher.
A great business combination is be-
HeYed to be at the bottom of the

more firmly riveted than ever before; there
is evidently something of Importance

interest is getting little demoralized.
The bulls have the market fully in hand
and can carry prices considerably higher
if they choose. Two prominent bear in
terests have made propositions to the bull
leaders to the effect that they will come
over on the bull side if they are given the
market for day or two, in order to cover
shorts. As got it, the bull leaders would
like to have the bear combination cover
and go along. The other they would like
to compel to cover at loss. Between the
two interests the result is not at all clear.
Everybody is saying it is too early for a
bull market to set in; that the movement
beginning so early in June will scarcely
have strength enough to last into July.
On the other hand it is remembered Mr.
Gould has very confidently spoken of an
advance in the market to set in about the
18th. His stocks have b5en laggards in
all the rise thus far seen. If they should
become active and 90 up, it would perhaps
give other stocks a resting spell, from
which to begin new advance early next
month. :"

CHICAGO, o,June14 HoI.R.A.Davis, of

from business trip of two weeks to Win

Mr.. Davis said that generally speaking

ment in population and development
Winnipeg claimed to have population of
$4,000, and probably did have $4,000 peo-
pie. Times are trifie dull, however, at
present in comparison with the tremend
Gus boom of two years ago. Business may
be said to be slightly overdone, and in con-

per month and 22x5O feet fruit store had
| just been taken under a five years lease at
| $500 per month. Two years ago the rent
for the same store was 500 per month.
The following business transaction which
took place during the crazy speculation of
two years ago will show the manner in
which men lost their heads. Two promi-
nent men owned four lots 25x150 feet each
on Portage avenue, and held them at
S8,O0O They got an offer at that amount
and raised to $4,000. A man was sent to
buy lots with instructions to bid up
to $4,000 for them. He obeyed by
Offering $4,000 cash. The owners then
asked $4,000 and he offered it. They
then asked for an hour to consider the offer
and then asked $4,000. They would now
be glad to sell for $4,000. Mr.. Davis says
that the connection which the Canadian
Pacific has made with the Thunder Bay
line of steamers has reduced freights over
one-half The agent of the st. Paul &
Manitoba road at st. Vincent, the terminus
of the road, said their receipts had allen
off $4,000 per week in consequence of
the new arrangement. The Milwaukee &
st. Paul, it may be stated upon the best
authority, intends to push forward to Bis
marck without delay. The Manitoba &
