To Subscribers Richmond Telephone
Exchange.

Nine tenths OF the difficulties experi-
enced In the use OF your telephones pro-
ceed from the trouble on the calling wires,
which prevents the operators from hearing
your orders distinctly; from the impa-
tience OF subscribers in speaking all Mt
once. thus mixing up the numbers aud
confusing 1.-THE operators, and from the
greatly to be deplored, persistent, and un-
authorized and illegal use OF the telephones
by non-subscribers. About one half Of the
service of the Exchange Is enjoyed by
{" deadheads" who thus m0nopolize the
wires and rush" the operators. often to
the exclusion OF bona tide subscribers.
The ladies are doing as well as human
beings can to satisfy your demands upon
the service.
Atlanta, Ca, with larger number OF
subscribers than Richmond, is successfully
served by two lady operators, while Rich
mond requires constant and unremitting
attention the whole day long from four.
The difference arises from the fact that the
Atlanta Exchange Is built on poles. while
Richmond depends upon dilapidated and
unreliable housetop wires, which are
almost constantly in trouble, and from the
fact that the =" dead-beat element does
not exist and flourish SO extensively in At
lanta az in Richmond, the number OF Soon
nectioDs" made per diem being therefore
about one half less than is called for here.
Myself and my assistant are doing our
best for you. We can do no more.

Sunday evening among the arrivals at the
st. Claire was gentleman who registered
aS A. G. Brandt or Briant, COmal county,
Texas. Brandt was under the influence Of
liquor and retired at a late hour. lie did
not leave his room during the whole OF
Monday, and it was thought that he was
sleeping off the effects Of his debauch.
Yesterday morning when the floor SER
want attempted to enter the room he found
the door locked on the inside. The ser
want knocked at the door repeatedly, but
failing to get response reported the fact
TO the clerk in the office. The door was
forced open and Brandt was found living in
bed dead with two empty yias labelled laud-
anum in the room. From the appearance
OF the body it is supposed that he died
some time during Sunday night or early
Monday morning.
The Coroner viewed the body and
deemed an inquest unnecessary, and gave
orders for immediate interment.

The Thomas Concert Tonight.

There is every prospect and promise OF
brilliant success. musically and other
wise, for the performance at the ArmOry
Hall tonight. A few words as to the pro-
promme NAV not be unwelcOmc to many
10 whom much Of the music will be m
familiar and novel. The first numbers,
the Midsummer Night" overture ana
:. Wedding March, of Mendelssohn, have
been heard here before, but. it is safe TO say,
never heard as they will be rendered by
this superb orchestra. The overture and
march were written to illustrate the scenes
OF Shakespeare's drama and have been adj
mired the world over. and become stand
ards in the repertoire OF every cultivated
orchestra. The march is the one whose
strains are heard at every fashionable
wedding, and has thus become familiar
TO the public. As composition 1t is
more popular than the overture, but
the dreamy reYerics and delicious har-
mony OF the latter have made il the de
hight OF every cultivated musician. Its
performance as played by this orchestra Is
something that dwells in the memory as n
mastery and delicate piece of work. The
numbers from the " Creation" " have also
been heard here, but II Il no disHarage-
mput 10 DItNtOus W
that their rendition tonight will be reve-
lation even to those somewhat familiar
with the music. The two arias with reci-
tatiyes are admirably adapted to dis
play the qualities and powers credited 10
the two great singers who will render
them. These two numbers are among the
very best examples OF old "Father" 4"
Haydn's majestic simplicity, while the
beauty and dignity Of their melody are
worthy OF the lofty themes in which bis
pious soul delighted. The selections from
the "Creation are concluded with the
noble chorus, "Tbe Heavens Are Tell
ing.v sung by the Choral Union, with full
orchestra accompaniment, in the perform
ance of which the conductors baton will
be in the hands OF the leader Of the
chorus, Mr.. Siegel. The Scena and
aria from Weber's "Oberon." sung by
Madame Materna, will display the vocal
and dramatic powers Of that lady, for
whom IS claimed the very first rank on the
lyric stage Of the world to-day. The song
