The reported experiments between New
York, Cleveland and Chicago were made To
test an improved system OF telephoning said
to bepecnliarly adapted for long distance
use, and while tits altogether possible they
do not evidence the present availability OF
the telephone for distances so long, they
do mark decided progress of invention in
the right way. The system used in these
experiments is patented and owned by a
company called The Overland Telephone
company" of New York, which is reported
to have capital of 100000, and to pro.
ject so wide an extension OF its wires as to
practically cover the whole country and
'in due time entirely take the place of the
telegraph, for long as well as short dis.

Trap Sportsmen to Come Under the Rules

The demurrer in the case OF the state Of
Ohio against Charles Eckert, on the COM
plant OF trap.shoo,ing ON the 18th OF last
March, was oyerruled in the police court
yesterday morning by Judge Higley
Ih's was case in whN h an ,n,oer of gen.
EN- nn had engaged in ealoye mention

tie 50 Aeiy Tor the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. The decision OF the court con
corning the demurrer which has been ell
tered had been reserved by the court until
yesterday morning at IL O'clock The in.
formation conveyed in the case was that
pigeons were wounded and mutis'ed in
an unnecessary and cruel manner. A -.
murrer was entered, stating that the fact
OF the case could not be construed INTO a
crime under the laws of Ohio The urIs-
ion of Judge Higley, yesterday morning,
embraced very elaborate reCapituation q,
the laws which have been enacted Tor the
suppression of cruelty, from the first act
passed Anru /, ISL, which defines in I'm
mistakal le rms the cruelty which is EN- q.
braced u the words "needlessly torture, tor.

class, when, in his decision, included birds
der of animal life must be sacrificed for
mans use, employment and even orna
mentation, and while healthtul sport may
be admissible and even necessary for the
maintenance OF human vigor, these must
not be coniounded with the unnecessary
manning and mutilation of dumb creatures.
The state laws which were re.enactei in
1850, are explicit on these points, aud pub.
lie opinion has gradually developed until
what was at one time regarded as excusabe
is now revolving TO sentiment and under.
standing. The introduction of clay pigeons
Tor the purpose OF trials Of skill was COM
mendable from humanitarian motives. The
practice of Captain Bogardus, in Missouri
was instauced as being somewhat superior
to the general result of trap shooting, mas
much as he instantly killed the birds, and
there was no manifest torture or torment.
In view OF this Interpretation and the ex
phcltness Of the terms of the law, the de.
murrer was overruled, and the trial was set
for next Thursday morning ut IL o'clock.

er of San Pedro, Toledo, Cincinnati,
st. Louis and Mutual Union stock,
and the suspension was due in a large
degree to the decline in these shares.
The firm is composed of w. Bing-
nam, David H. Darling, George W.
Bolten and Allen s. Weeks. No par
ticulars can he obtained. The house
did a large and extensive business,
and its customers were principally
bunk presidents throughout the
country and Boston capitalists. The
members of the firm said to-day the
trouble was merely temporary, and
the principal stocks carried by the
company were the Oregon Transcon-
tinental, Missouri Pacific and West
ern Union. Roughly estimated their
liabilities amount to between $780, 900
and $500, 900. Under the Stock Elk.

RENTING VS.. BUILDING.

"Citizen' in his communication to
the Inter Mountain on the "Bond
Question" gave some figures by
which he attempted to prove that it
would be cheaper for the county to
build the court house and Jail, even
at the cost estimated by the County
Commissioners, than to rent build
ings for its use. To prove the un-
soundness of bis reasoning, based up
on his unreliable figures, we subjoin
the following tables, showing the diff
ference between the amount of the
cost Of the buildings at compound in
terest for ten years at 7 per cent. and
the amount Of rent annually paid at
compound interest at the same rate
and for the same period of time. The
cost of the buildings complete ready
for the furniture is put down at $780,
600. Many are of the opinion they
will not be finished for less than
$175, 900 or $1,000 600, but we have
based our calculations on the very
lowest sum that it will take to put
them in condition for occupancy.
The rent we have put down at $1,000
annually, and have made no account
of the $4OG received by the county
from the city for rent Of Jail room.

TIE PRESIDENTS CHURLISH
NESS.

President Arthur will not escape crit
icism for refusing to show himself to
the Wyoming cow boys. OF course it
was not expected he would rush out at
every station and indulge in a
hand shaking matinee with the rough
but generous hearted sons of the
plains. but he could have unbent
himself sufficiently without compro-
missing his dignity to bow his ac-
acknowledgements from the platform
OF the car to the assembled multi
tudes at each station that anxiously
awaited his arrival. He chose, how
ever to play the part of the churl and
kept his august parsonage from the
gaze of the inquisitive crowd. Com
menting upon this subject the San
Francisco Chronicle says: The Pres
ident ought to crafty the curiosity of
the people to get a sight of him. He
is the representative of a high office,
and as such he is an object of popu-
lar reverence, wholly aside from any
personal qualities. 1t would not have
been any great strain upon him to
have shown himself at stations and
made some trifing response to the
good natured courtesy and enthu-
slasm OF the crowds that gathered to
bid him welcome. This has always
been looked upon as a part of the du-
ties OF the office, which more aristo-
cratic and far ADLER men than Arthur
have felt 1t incumbent on them to
perform. And so long as the office
is filled by a popular election, we see
no reason why there should be any
in the CUSTOM.

No free passes will be given to in

visit the country with view to set
Element; none to parties who wish to
see the country and write notices:
none to employees of other roads who
wish to see the country, except when
special request is made by the gener-
a. manager; none to employees OF the
Northern Pacific beyond the d.
vision to which they belong
After June l., 1884, no passes
or reduced rates will be given

who propose to erect mills, elevators
or other buildings. The time has
arrived when the presentation of
passes and reduced rates to encourage
new enterprises must be withdrawn

FATED lSCHIA.

The latest estimates place the. loss
Of human life by the earthquake at
Ischia at 5000. This number does
not include the MANNED and crippled
but simply represents the list Of those
whose life went out in a mement or
who, after suffering unknown tor
lures beneath overthrow buildings,
yielded up their lives, In several
cases Whole families were swept out
of existance and scarcely one escaped
without the loss of one or more mem
bers. 1t appears strange that people
will remain in such places, for it was
only a little over two years ago this
same town of Casamicciela was the
scene of an earthquake almost as
fatal as this one. Nearly everyone
of the victims of the recent
earthquake had seen the
earth open and yawn and
the houses reel and fall, had e
loved ones and friends perish in the
shock, yet they chung to the fated
place as if held to it by a magician's
spell and have met a fate which they
doubtless hoped would never befall
them. The island should be aban-
dened by the survivors of to-day and
the place be permitted to live only in
history as a spot to be stunned and
not as a temptation for future calam-
tiles.

Hawaiian Notes.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1.-THE
steamer Mariposa, from Honolulu,
with dates to the Sth inst, arrived
this morning carrying the royal
Hawaiian band of thirty members to
participate in the eonclave festivities.
1t is asserted by those who knowth that
the band will carry off the musical
honors Of the conclave. Quarantine
examination establishes the state
ment that lepresy existed among
them to be unfounded. Ola the day
of their departure from Ho nolulu the
citizens presented them $500 pocket
money.
News from the Island state that
sharp shocks of earthquake were felt

suited.

Our Missoula correspondent ex-
poses the gauZy nature of the charges
of fraudulent votes being cast in that
county for Major Maginnis. The evil
dence obtained to substantiate Mr..
Botkin's claim to an election is so
very thin, weak and unreliable that
it is quite possible the House COM
mittee on elections will treat it with
the contempt Or indifference it de-
serves. If Mr.. Botkin makes no bet
ter showing for his case in the east
ern portion of the Territory than he
has in the western he may as we'll
forego the pleasures Of Washington
trip and content himself in viewing
the matchless scenery spread out be-
fore him at his Helena home, for
Congress will refuse him even the
mileage of a contestant.
