Private Telegraph Wires.


Telegraphing is done at wholesale a
we'll as at retail. Individuals, firms anC
corporations who require larg,
amounts Of telegraphing manage t
get IL done either by private arrange.
ments with the telegraph companies OF
by building their own lines. 1t is a
very common thing for large corpora
tons TO build their own lines between
their offices and factories. They use
these lines exclusively for their own
business. But by far the greatest
number of what are called private
wires are really owned by the telegraph
companies and are leased by special
contract.
The longest private wire in use is
from New York to Chicago. In the
contracts are stringent provisions that
the wire shall be used only for the pri-
vate business of the contracting party,
under penalty of terminating the con-
tract. Certain periods of the day or
night are fixed during which alone the
wire may be used. Operators are fur
nished by the telegraph company.
The annual cost of leasing a private
wire is from 800 to $40 a mile. The
variation in price arises from the fact
that in some cases the wires are quad
ruplexed, so that the same wire is used
by different private persons, each send
ing messages at will without the knowl-
edge or interference of the other. The
facilities Of the large telegraph compa
MES for keeping lines in good order
have gradually concentrated the bust
ness In their hands, SO that by far the
largest mileage of private wires, so
called, is in the hands of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. The Bal
timore Il Ohio Railroad Company lease
a number of private wires. In all cases
the operators of the private lines leased
from the companies are under the con-
troll of the latter, although paid by the
lessees.
Most of the private lines, outside of
the press lines, are hired by bankers
and brokers, who require them only a
few hours day. At other hours the
hne becomes public wire or is leased
TO other private persons. Some of the
large newspapers in the West have the
use OF private wires for a few hours at
night, and thus avail themselves of the
news of the great New York dailies the
mOnouG ~ 10 puDilSneQs
II is impossible TO give with accuracy
khe number of miles Of private wires in
use, but it is insignificant compared
with the mileage Of wires operated by
companies. An official in the Western
Union Company said: "There are only
about $4,000 miles of really private wire
In the United States. The Western
Union Company operates 425, 900 miles
of wire, and other companies operate
about 10000. There are not over 500
miles of private wire in the Southern
States"
There are three or four large estab-
iishments in New York where all the
materials for putting up telegraph lines
may be purchased, but the business of
keeping q line in order requires SO
much experience that it naturally drifts
Into the hands of the telegraph compa-
MES, who, having the men and mate
rails on hand, can always make repairs
more easily and economically than pri-
Vate individuals. For this reason many
private lines have been absorbed by the
telegraph companies.-M Y San.

Inc brave corn lite, in regiments.

The heroes rest; Oh, let them rest
In peace along the peaceful shore.

They sleep in peace and all is well.
Ihe fields forget the battles fought
The trenches wave in golden grain.
