rALKTNSs TWO HUNDRED MILES.
 The southern New England Te1e-
 phone Service Between New York
 and Roaton-A Brilliant Achieve.
 ment-The Interstate Servfce-Its
 Importance.
 People in this city can now converse with Boston or New York or with intermediate places, and people in New York can chin Boston people and vice versa. The Southern New England has completed and has now in successful operation it's telephone service be- tween New York and Boston. It speaks well for the enterprise of this company that 1t has taken the lead and is in the front rank of the movement for long distance telephon1ng. The service not only works, but works we'll
 The conversation is carried on not feebly or inarticulately, but clearly and definitely, and the long distance "hello business" thus ln- aueurated is bound to be an important fea- ture in telephone history. There is public service and private service. The private service is for private use and the wire is set apart part of the time each day for this patronage and the patronage in this depart ment comes from large business concerns; for instance, the L. Candee Rubber company of this city talked yesterday by private wire with the Woonsocket Rubber company III Woonsocket, R. l.
 The public service. is for the use of the gen. eral public By this means anyone who wants to talk directly with anyone in New York or Boston or intermediate large places having telephone can do so. The fee is fifty cents for the use of the wire and this allows sufficient time for the transaction of general business, the limit being five minutes. The public station is at the State street office of the com pany As there are many hundreds of tele- phones in New York city and in Boston, to say nothing of those in intermediate cities, this new avenue of vocal communication, it will be seen, is one of no small importance, while it will, no doubt, add materially to the income of the Southern New England Tele- phone company, beyond the royalty the Bell company will receive from this source. The Bell company expended $40, 900 to carry this long distance telephoning through and the work was done by the Southern New Eng land company and has been accomplished after the surmounting of many difficulties and obstacles. The 'fInter-State service" is
 something alike worthy of record and of praise. All this new increase of service is made strictly in accordance with the Bell companys contract with the Western Union Telegraph company.

VETERAN FIRENIEN,

Reception of the Philadelphia Veteran Firemen-Excursfon To Fishers Is- land.
 Yesterday morning long before ''OId Sol" had poked his head above the eastern hori- zon the New Haven Veteran Bremen had a delegation at the depot to receive the Phila- delphia Veteran Firemens association At 4:40 the train arrived and the Philadelphia ''vets" with their band were escorted to the Fremont and Austin Houses. At 7 o'clock the 'FVets" of New Haven assembled at their room in the Insurance building and soon af- ter marched to the hotels and es corted the Philadelphia iremen to the Green, where the line was formed. About o'clock the firemen started on their march over the route given in yesterday mornings paper. Never before in the history of the organization did the ''Vets'' present such an appearance as they did on the march down Chapel street. The morning was pleasant and warm, and the music of the bands made the veterans think of the days gone by, when they were ready at the sound of the fire alarm given by the old church bells to lay their hose and "break her down. After the parade in the morning the excur- sion to Fishers Island was given. The boat left Belle Dock about 9 o'clock and arrived at the isand about 1 o'clock. On the trip to and from the island the Co., lumbia band of Branford gave a number of choice selections. Mayor Lewis after listening to a number of selections arose and addressing the leader, MT. Saunder- CT, gave him very fine compliment for his playing. He said that he was very much surprised to find that band in such small town could produce such fine music. MT. Philo Hall responded and thanked the Mayor for his compliment to the band. The Wee cacoe band gave a concert on the return trip. When the boat arrived a number of the Haven "Vets'' who couldn't be present on the excursion assembled at the dock and corted the fremen over their line of march, Chapel street was ablaze with red lights and both the Philadelphia and New Haven ''Vets" received cheer after cheer during their march. The Philadelphia guests leave this morning for Bridgeport where they will be entertained by the Bridgeport fremen. The excursion was grand success and will be long remembered by the fremen of this city.

A Visit to Niant1c-An Ovation on
 Their Return.
 The McManus Guard, corps of spirited boys who have paraded several times in military uniform, visited Camp Couch, Mi antic, yesterday. They were greeted warmly by the bronzed veterans at Camp Couch, and received attentions from the commanding officers, and it is said they received gra- cious compliment from His Excellency Gov ernor Waller. They were shown many cour- tesies and highly enjoyed the day despite the heat, They were kindly provided with a special car going and returning by the su- perintendent and expressed themselves more than pleased. On their return they were reused to the utmost enthusiasm by the spirited reception gotten up in their honor by few of the patriotic citizens of Vernon street, including Messrs. F. A. Newton, Lewis D. Chidsey and George T. Bradley. Flags were thrown out, and there was fine pyrotechnic display which woke up the en- tire population of that section of the city The McManus Guard will not soon forget their trip and the ovation on their return.

A COIOred Man in the County Jail is
 Tired of Lffe-He Eats Mush for Supp
 per.
 About o'clock yesterday afternoon Henry Johnson, colored inmate of the county jail, attempted suicide by hanging. He is serv- ing cut a one years sentence for burglary and has already been confined about three months. He has been sick and Respondent recently and yesterday tried to take his life.
 He tore the blanket of his cot into strips out of which he made rope. He then fast ened one end to the upper portion of his cell door and into a moose in the other end he slipped his neck. The hallman found him insensible with blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and cut him down. He was nearly strangled, but restoratives were applied and he was brought to consciousness, He ate two plates of mush for supper last night and there appears no danger that his attempt at self-murder will be realized at present.

uumortn the stomach,

Much of the distress and sickness attribu- ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea and other causes is occasioned by humor in the stom- ach. Several cases, with all the character istics of these complaints, have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures effected by this medicine are so wonderful that the simplest statement of them affords the best proof that it combines rare curative agents, and when once used secures the confidence of the people.
