Last Evening

The Public Meeting in Hartman's Hall
Last Evening.
The public meeting called to be held
in Hartman's Hall last evening, To con-
sider ways and means to keep alive the
work OF the l.. b. A. Home, was called
to order at the appointed hour by DR..
Shepard. There were present forty
eight persons.
Hon. Thomas d. Gilbert was asked
by the chair to make a statement OF the
objects of the meeting. He prefaced
his remarks with brief account OF the
early history OF the institution. He
said 1t began thirty or forty years ago
IN deeply felt want of a place and OPP
poTtunity 10 care for the orphans oil the
city. But orphans were not aS plentl-
ful IN those days as they are now, and
so the institution was changed 10 what
the name implies. The present build
ing was erected and paid for, costing
$4,000. The great building is now full
OF patients, but means are not at hand
to support all its work.
Mrs. l.. II. Nithey made a statement
OF the needs of the institution. She
called particular attention 10 the forth
coming annual report of the institution,
and asked every one to read it care .uily.
Rev. Drs. Cobb, Merriam and Winter
each made remarks looking to q prac-
teal solution of the difficulties, but no
definite results were reached. A mo-
ton was presented requesting the var-
Gus churches to observe a common hos
pital day each year, and to take up a
collection on tnat day. A substitute
for this, offered by Hon. Thomas d. Gil
bert. WAS carried, to the effect that the
individuals present pledge themselves
to do what they could to bring about
better financial condition of things for
the home. Mr.. Gilbert offered to make
his Office headquarters for the distribu-
ton of membership tickets at 81 each.
The meeting adjourned without fur
ther action.

the Telephone the Outgrowth of At

a. R. Bennett, in speaking at Dun

Inauguration of some local telephone
lines, gave some very interesting de-
tails connected with Graham Bells ear
ly history, and these were largely sup

was present 1t appears that Bell was
always, when a boy, trying to devise
some means of improving the hearing
OF his mother, who was very deaf He
then conceived the idea of passing sound
along wires, and this idea, which arose
out of his regard for his mother, ulti-
mately became perfected through his
devotion to his wife. Bell became
teacher in deaf and dumb school in
Boston, and became enamored of a lady
who was partially affected, whom he
married. He now applied him
self with redoubled energy to the prob
lem of transmission of sound, and in the
course OF his experiments he succeeded
in enabling his wife to understand con-
versation and to be understood. Rell
tried to push his invention in Edin-
burgh with but little success, and altar
ward turned his steps to London, where
ne met with more encouragement. 1t
Is stated as curious fact that Bell him.
self did not perceive all the great possi-
olllties before the telephone, and looked
with scant favor on the idea of ''ex-
changes" which have since assumed
such proportions all over the world.
MIR. Bennett was strongly inclined to
think that the telephone had been spo-

years ago, and he instanced, among 9TH

Psalms, describing how ''thoir line is
