The Central and South American Telegraph
company has finished tho new telegraph line
connecting Galveston, Texas, with Rio de ia
metro and all points in South America. The new
line is by way of Mexico and Central America
Superintendent Zeubun, of the Western Union
company, said yesterday: 1.-THE significance and
Importance OF the new. line can be appreciated
by aglance at the map Of America. The new COM
pany, he continRed, pointing to map showing
the entire telegFaphic system of the American
continent, has simply taken advantage Of all
the available land routes and thereby avoided
the expense and delay attending the use of long
deep. sea cables To forward a dispatch BY the
old routes we first cabled the message to France
or England and thence by land to Madrid. From
Madrid there is another cable line stretching
southwest crossing the Cape Verd Islands and
connecting with the South American continent
at PernambucO. From Pernambuco messages
were forwarded north by relay to Rio de JaneirO
This route was necessarily very expensive. After
To-day messages Will be sent from Galveston via
Brownsville to Acapulco, and thence by q COM
paratively short cable route to Guyaquil. From
Guyaqul the new line extends, by way Of VAL
paraisO across to Montevideo, and thence by an
old telegraph line nOrthward to Rio de Janeiro
The difference between the two routes Ia simply
this: The old line extended along the two sides
Of great triangle and ran almost the entire
distance upon the bottom Of the Atlantic ocean.
The new line extends along the hypothenuse
of the triangle and is constructed almost
wholly upon the land. Instead of cross
Ing the sea twice we have a nearly
direct land communication, and there is pro-
portionate diminutiOn Of expense. The old tele-
graphic rate from this city to Panama was 2.OS
per word; the new rate, which goes into effect
to-day, is 81 per word. Messages to Rio Grande
Santa Catharina and Santos formerly cost %. 80
per word; they will go hereafter for s3.11. Mes
sages to Rio dc Janeiro will be forwarded at
$291 per word, instead of 1888, as formerly.
and communication with Pernambuco can now
be obtained for $270 per word. Telegraphic
business between the United States and South
American cities has always been comparatively
light, but one effect Of the new line will doubt
less be to increase it,"
"Will the new line ultimately be absorbed
and controlled by the Western Union SYSTEM
as so many minor telegraph companies have
been?
II would not like to say just that" said Mr.
Zeublin, with knowing look. but you may
say that several of the men most deeply con-
cerned in the new enterprise are Western Union
men. and consequently the business done by the
Central and South American company will be
done WE'LL

When There Were no Matches.
From ILondov, 0ocsakv


From tho London Society.
Young and even middle-aged people, accus-

DEATH IN THE PULPIr.-The worthy pastor of
the colored Baptist church at Wyandofte. Kan.
sas was holding a missionary service on SUNDAY
last. In the midst of his discourse he leaned
forward upon the pulpit and exclaimed: "Dis-
patched to Heaven quickly!" He spoke no more,
and for considerable time the congregation
sat quietly, expecting him to continue. At last
member went forward to the pulpit and found
the minister dead, with his arms around the
Bioie- or course there was intense excitement.
When the first shock WAS over the bodv was
laid upon a table in front of the pulpit and the
people gathered around It weeping aud pray

that heart disease was the cause Of death.

silent Cities Of the Future.


From the st. James Gazette.
The interesting account that is to hand this
morning Of the journey Of an electric tramcar
through the streets Of Paris perhaps foreshadows
revolution in the conditions under which CIV
ilized man lives in great cities. Silently az a
dream did that tramcar travel over the metals
OF the Paris streets No sound was there of
straining harness, or hoofs pounding monoto-
nously on asphalte or mscadam; still less was
there the ear-piercing shrek, the dyspeptic pun
the start and roar and below Of the locomotive.
And the car, We are told, was more easily
manageable, cost less, and more satisfactory
every way, than II 1t had been drawn BY steam
or horses 10 this the beginning Of happy
change, when the rafting hanson and the
Gathering bus will trouble the nerves Of
civilization no more and the town dweller be
at rest? In the vision OF the future one sea

out shouting, and the Angel at lexington viii be
