DIR. Norvin Green, president Of tho
Western Union Telegraph company,
yesterday continued his statement
respecting the pending postal telegraph bill
before the house committee on postoilices
and post roads. He said be had seen il stat
ed that the wire ON the Pacific railroad lines
belonged TO the government. He did not so
understand II and as matter of fact the
government had no power TO fix rates over
these lines. Respecting rates generally DR..
Green said that they were about one-half Of
those prevailing twenty years ago. The
ratio between our own and British rates was
as % cents is 10 20 cents. The postmaster
general proposed 10 reduce these rates one
half and this in the face of the fact that the
British system had been operated with
deficit of nearly $l2,OU0OO for the past
eleven years. and probably Sa0.O000OO since
its establishment. Yet the British system
has been instituted under the solemn pledge
that IL should be self-supporting. The
salaries Of British operators averaged from
$26 to so per month, while in New York
the average, including male and female
operators. was s6l.i5--more thnn double
the British average. The government could
not do business as cheaply M the Western
show that the actual cost Of the Western
Union for handling business was ~ cents

Taking up the detnils of the postmaster
generals plan, DIR. Green said that at many
of the postofiices there would not be sullf.
cient telegraph bus ness 30 pny expenses.
II had been suggested that the postmasters
al their offices might learn 10 work the
wires, but they would not do 80, as they

the present postotiice buildings could not be
made TO accommodate the telegraph rs stem.
DIR. Green made n comparison between our
domestic telegraph rates with those ia Eu-
rope, showing that for all distances over 800
miles our rates were much lower "yet, ="
said he. "the postmaster general would
establish uniform rate for 800 mile dis
tances, distance over which no single wire
had ever been successfully worked" As Ia
low rates the Western Union had never
fought opposition with low rates.

Don't Touch the Wire.

1t is always best to avoid danger
If possible; therefore, there is one
rule to be taught in every school in
the United States, and that is, never
lift wire off the ground. This rule
may prove more valuable than the
rule of three.
A telegraph wire, no matter how
many messages may be passing
over it, is perfectly harmless, but
an electric wire is always deadly.
When you see a wire hanging from
q pole or house, or in any posi-
ton, it may be q telegraph wire or
1t may be an electric wire, so the
safest plan is to let it lie. It may
not be dangerous, but it is like q
loaded CUNT may kill you.
If an electric wire lies across your
path, and it becomes absolutely
necessary to remove it, bear these
points in mind: So long as the
wire is on the ground it is harmless,
no matter what pressure may be on
It. The moment it leaves the ground
i 10 dangerous, You can pull the

Anybody Can Do It.

A big man who looked like le
might be senator or a rich mer-
chant, retired banker or something
of that sort, walked down the street
q few evenings ago, and stopping
under a lamp post looked intently
upward. A policeman saw him and
stepped over to that side of the
walk to see what it meant. The
next man who happened along also
stopped, and after catching what he
thought was the proper range, began
to look, Another man came up and
did the same thing. Pretty soon a
young fellow and his girl caught
sight Of the starers and they began
20 see what there was to be seen.
Presently some one in the rapidly
incrc aslng party spoke up:
whats all this mean?" he asked
the policeman.
Cit along wild yez," responded
the official.
Just then the big man turned

his FIRST CHEW.
The Eject OF Learning to Master
Tobacco.

The boy said it was a peculiar
kind Of tobacco, and was known as
1nolasses tobacco, because it was SC
sweet, writes w. D. Howells. The
ether boys did not ask how he came
to knowits name or where he got it,
boys never ask anything that would
be well for them to know-but they
accepted his theory and his further
statement that it was of a mildnes:
singularly adapted to learners with'
out misgivings. The boy was him
self chewing vigorously on a large
quid, and launching the juice from
his lips right and left like grown
person. and my boy took as large a
bite 40 his benefactor babe him.
He found it as sweet as he had been
told it was, and he acknowledged
the aptness of its name as molasses
tobacco. 1t seemed to him golden
opportunity to acquire noble hab t
on easy terms. He let the quid rest
in his cheek, as he had seen men
do, when he was not crushing it be-
tween his teeth, and for some min
utes he poled his plank up and
down the canal boat with a sense
of triumph that nothing marred.
Then all of q sudden he began to
feel pale, The boat seemed to be
going round and the sky wheeling
overhead. The sun was lodging
about very strangely. Drops Of
sweat burst from the boys forehead !;
he let fall his pole and said he
thought he would 60 home. The
fellow who gave him the tobacco
began to laugh and the other fellows
to mock, but my boy did not mind
them. Somehow-he did not know
how-he got out Of the canal boat
and started homeward, but atevery
step the ground rose as high as his
knees before him, and then, when
he got his foot high enough and
began to put it down, the ground
was not there. He was deathly
sick, as he reeled and staggered on,
and when he reached home and
showed himself, white and haggard,
to his frightened mother, be had
scarcely strength enough to gasp
out confession of his attempt to
retrieve the family honor by learn
ing to chew tobacco. In another
moment nature came to his relief,
and then he fell into a deep sleep
which lasted the whole afternoon,
so that it seemed to him the next
day when he woke up, glad to find
himself alive, if not very lively.
Perhaps he had swallowed some
of the poisonous juice of the tobac-
CO; perhaps it had acted upon his
brain without that. His father
made no very close inquiries into
the facts, and he did not forbid him
the use Of tobacco. It was not
necessary; in that one little exp' r.
inent he had enough for a whole
lifetime. It shows that after all a
boy is not 80 hard to satisfy in ev-
