Long-Distance Telephony.

AT the annual convention of the
National Telephone Exchange Asso.
citation, held last week, Mr.. A. 8.
Hibbard of Wisconsin submitted
paper on long-distance telephony.
f" The limit of distance in practical
and profitable working" he says, "is
aboutlOO miles, although considera:
BILE business is done over $50 to 200
miles of wire Among the long lines
in daily use are one from Milwaukee
to Oshkosh, ITO miles; one from De-
troit.to Saginaw, 100 miles, and one
from Buffalo to Rochester 85 miles.
But how does the Bell Company al
low business to be done over these
wires without breaking its contract
with the Western Union? That con.
tract provided not only that the Bell
Company should pay the Western
Union 20 per cent, Of all its rentals
and royalties-tbe sum paid last year
being $as2.oo8-but also that tele.
phone lines connecting district or ex-
change systems should not be used
+" for the transmission Of general buai-
ness messages OF news for sale or pub
lication in competition with the busi'
ness of the Western Union Telegraph
Company" The Bell Company agreed
not to "license the use Of its tele-
phones or patents" for such purposes.
Restricted by such provisions as these,
thegrowth of long distance telephony
will be elow.-Neao York Times.

A Real Racket.

A minister Of the Gospel in one OF
tha counties in Middle Tennessee,
bordering on the Cumberland Range,
thought that he would try one Of the
Rev. Sam Jones lodges on his con.
gregation, and see how it would work.
He had seen the Rev. Sam use it with
wonderful effect, and he could see no
good reason why it should not prove
equally as effective with him, and he
was badly in need of a mucilage of
some aort to make his hearers stick
until he could reach the lastly"
On the occasion referred to he ascend,
ed the platform as usual, and, after
the preliminary services, he slowly
removed his glasses, and glancing
over his audience, remarked solemnly
that he was going to deal in some
plain, uuvarnished Gospel truths to-
day, and would try, the Lord being
willing and helping, to expose the by.
pocrisy Of protesting Christians. and

present who did not want to hear it

DR.. HAWTHORNE ON SAM JONES =
DR.. Hawthorne, our able Baptist
preacher, has been up to the tent
meeting at Csrtersville and came
away much pleased with Sam Jones
lie said, among other things, Of Jones,
there never was a case of charity
that came up before him but what
he always contributed to his utmost
capacity. It is astonishing to any one
to see the sacks OF flour and sides OF
moat that he gives to the poor in his
community. Upon inquiring of DR..
Hawthorne what he thought OF the
criticism that invaded The country
about Sam Jones preaching, he said
that people will talk, you know. l
believe Sam Jones heart is in the
work, and tho man that assails him
might just as we'll assail the Apostle
Paul. He is one OF the greatest men
of the age, and he reaches a certain
class of men that no other divine has
ever reached before.

"ChriStians That Have Straddled
the Fence Had Better Keep
Out of the Way"

This morning MIR. Roberts, Of Ce-
dartown, preached to about fifteen
hundred people. At the call for peni-
tents very few responded, and the
Rev. Sam Jones seemed to get vexed.
He said "There seems to be a snag
somewhere that this meeting is hung
on to-day. You little weak -kneed
Christians amt doing your duty. If
you'll come and put your carcasses
on this altar and let some of these
respectable sinners pray for you,
you'll get better. I don't propose to
let this meeting die on my hands;
l never did do such a thing, and ]
never intend to. I'll chop its head
off and say l killed it before it shall
die or my hands. I'm going to stir
things up here By tomorrow, and
Christians that have straddled the
fence had better keep out of the way,
for I'm going to shell the woods, and
it's likely you'll get hit. If I cant
make you people go to praying, l can
throw you into fits. I am powerful
good on fts-I am. I never lost a
case yet. glory in a row, and you
can just lookout for it. The gospel
volunteers can prepare to move out OF
the trenches" )"
The crowd laughed, but Sam said
it was no joke with him. "There'll
come a time when God will laugh at
your calamity, and mock when your
fear cometh.
