THE USEFUL TELEPHONE.
The Part It Is Destined to Play In the
Development of the CountrY

The Part It Is Destined to Play In the
Developments of the Country.
1t is certain that the telephone is to
play much more important part in
human affairs in the near future than
1t IS now doing, and the immense
utility to the general public years
hence is now only very imperfectly
comprehended by the most sanguine
man among us. In 1898 the telephone
will become public property, and the
only restrictions upon its utility after
that date will be those involved in the
apparatus for its use; and the more
general its employment the cheaper
will its operations and benefits become.
For obvious reasons the telephone is
capable of meeting the wants of the
people much better than the telegraph
is, especially in the sparsely settled
districts of the country, and for short
distances, and its adaptation to the me-
ccessities of the farmers will be appre-
ciated at once.
One of the first innovations to be
carried forward with the use of the
telephone is in connection with the
weather service. which has already
been made to play most important
and useful part in the shipping bust
ness, and which, like the telephone,
has usefulness for future generations
not dreamed of by those of the present
time. The State of Iowa has already
made q movement to establish State
weather service and make it and the
telephone subservient to the necessi-
ties OF the farming population. 1t is
proposed to establish a signal service
at each county seat, and from thence
extend daily information to the local
inhabitants by means of the telephone
or the telegraph, or both. Next to the
sailor, the farmer is more interested in
the weather than anybody, especially
in harvest, and the benefit that would
this kind would be immense. A COM
petent State weather service, with sig
nal stations at every county seat and
at all the principal cities, and q COM
plete and cheap telephone connection
Herewith, would not only keep the
storms, but post him on the state of
the markets and give him useful in
formation in regard to his business.
The time will come. and it is not far
distant, when the telephone will be
used as extensively in the country as
it is now in the large cities, and the
farmer will call the village doctor, OR
the undertaken, or give an order to
the butcher or the groceryman by the
use of the most wonderful of modern
inventions. Every farmhouse will be
brought into communication with every
other house in the neighborhood as
well as with the nearest village; the
isolation of country life in winter will
be destroyed; there will be wire from
the home to the country school-house,
and neighbors will exchange news and
gossip, though the midwinter blizzard

They left Pony Moore at q station few miles
north of Indianapolis, where he boarded a
Lake Erie and Western train. Stone was
left at Noblesville to care for and return the

where all the members of the party expect to

A WET DAY AT DEER PARK


How the President spent Saturday-H.
May somewhat Revise HIS Plans TO,
the Summer.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July 14.-The SUM.
Deer Park special says: The rain kept the
presidential family indoors the greater parl
OF the day. During the early part of the
day the president devoted himself to the
consideration of several cases pending before
the department of justice. Late in the after
noon the sun came out giving ex-senator
Davis an opportunity to take the president
out for drive. Secretary Window and
Private Secretary Halfod were also members
of the party. The Harrisons and Windows
afteward dined at the Elkins cottage. There
were number of people over from Oakland
and the corresponding country expecting to
see the president at the hotel, report hav-
ing been circulated that he would hold a
public reception Saturday evening. There
were disappointed. The rumor NAV have
originated from remark by Mr.. Halford
on the hotel veranda to the effect that
Mrs. Harrison proposes to be home one day
each week during her stay here to casual
visitors.
1ne fresldent remarked that in view of
the hot. dusty ride of Friday afternoon, he
might be obliged to revise his plans for
the summer and spend more time here than
he had originally intended. He does not
look forward with pleasure to a twelve
hours ride on the railroad weekly for the
next two months. and he will probably go to
Washington during that period only when
absolutely necessary. Secretary Window
heartily concurs in the proposition to hold
Cabinet meetings here in the meantime, and
Private Secretary Halford cheerfully volun-
teers to make trips to and from the Capitol as
may be necessary, to keep the President
fully informed as to the condition of the
public business. This matter is still under
adyisement.

No Truth In tho Reports that secre-
tary Blaine Had Reslgned-Only a
Periodical Scare About Mr.. Blaine,s
Health.
BALTIMORE, Nd, July 14.-The Suns
learned the rumor that Secretary Blaine has
resigned is without foundation. Secretary
Rusk eaid: cit is without the slightest
foundation. Mr.. Blaine has never thought of
resigning. Of course if he should get sick go
as to be unable to attend to the duties of the
Office he would doubtless resign, but Mr.
Blaine is not sick. he was in better health
when he left here on his vacation than he
had been at any time since the administra-
ton began. There could be no other reason
for his resignation, for his relations with the
President have been of the most pleasant
character. No, sir; you can safely say there
is no truth In the rumor"
Subordinate officials in the department
deny that there is any grounds for the rumor
and say it is only another of the periodical
scares about Mr.. Blaine's health.
Attorney General Miller stated that there
was 10 truth in the rumors of Mr.. Blaine's
resignation. He said Mr.. Blaine's health was
good and that the relations between President
Harrison and Mr.. Blaine were of the pleas
ATTEST character.
BOSTON, Mass. July 14.-The Post in an
editorial tomorrow morning discredits the
rumor of the resignation of Secretary Blaine,
but it looks upon the rumor as significant as
presenting for the first time in tangible form
a supposed evidence of the distinguishing eff
feet of the policy of this administration
The article says:
1t is quite unlikely that Mr.. Blaine pro-
poses to retire from the position of control in
which he has been placed. but if he were to
do SO, there is little doubt that his spirit
would still rule.
