A striking instance Of progress in the
use of the telephone is furnished by the
London Times, which, by the
skillful employment of this great
invention, is able to print
the whole Of the parliamentary
debates, which are often continued
until after 3 IA. m, in time for the 5 Il.
m. newspaper trains. Wires have
been laid in the underground railway
tunnel between the composing room in
Printing House Square and the re-
porters' gallery in the house of COM

trouble of transcribing their notes by
having them dictated through the tele-

READY FOR BUSINESS
The Fairhaven and New What

pleted
A Car Run Over the Line From
the Court House to Har-
ris Avenue
Line to Be Opened For Traffic
In a Day or Two--A IS
Minute Service

The Fairhaven and New Whatcom
street railway is now completed from
Ocean dock in this city to Lake What
com, and also to the court house. The
citizens of the Bay cities may congratu-
late themselves upon having the most
substantial roadbed and the most
modern equipped road on the Pacific
coast The first street car that ever
passed the boundary of the two cities
passed over the line from New What
com to Fairhaven yesterday afternoon.
The car was run from the power house
on Kentucky street by Mr.. r. A. w.
Shock, the engineer Of the Thomson
Houston Company. The object in TAX
ing the car out was to make a voltage
test. The car was run from the power
house to the court house, and from
there along the line over Garden street
to Fourteenth street i'm Fairhayen, and
from there TO Harris avenue. The
test was satisfactory in every particu-
lar, and the roadbed along the new line
was found in excellent condition.
The ride over the new line is one of
the most charming imaginable. In
passing over the elevated portion of
Garden street the passenger has an un-
eXcelled view of the bay and the
mountains in British Columbia.
The road is now ready for operation
and will probably be opened for traffic
tomorrow.
a schedule, giving "a fifteen-mnute
service, will be arranged. Cars will
run from o'clock in the morning
until II O'Clock at night

THOUGHT 1T ALL A JOKE.
But the Justice Was Unable to See 1t In
That Light.

"Rctween both the two undersigned
we agree that we can no longer get on
together, and that consequently | leave
existence that will suit her, as shall
do in my own case, without our having
anything to reproach each other with"
Such was the somewhat confused doc
ument which a couple in Paris drew
up together, in November last year,
and to which they appended their
names. At least, says the London
Telegraph, they understood what it
meant, or thought they did, which, as
has just turned out, did not amount to
quite the same thing. The lady firmly
believed that she was henceforth at
liberty to follow her own devices. The
husband, however, put very differ
ent construction on the agreement, de-
claring when it was appealed to in
court that he had simply intended to
set trap for his "better half" Under
the impression that she was entirely
her own mistress, the wife proceeded
to take up her abode with gentleman
who had already paid her some atten-
ton, but when the pair found them
selves in the unenviable position of de-
PENDANTS in the lawsuit which follow
ed, and the lady calmly informed the
Judge that 'she was guaranteed by her
paper" she was promptly enlightened
on the subject. "What paper?" in
9uired the magistrate. "My paper Of
separation.
The Judge then asked whether she
had obtained a decree of separation,
and after some further explanation
the famous document was handed to
him. As soon as the magistrate had
read out the contents which had been
drawn up between these high contract
ing parties, the wife cried, "Now, you
see that I could live as / pleased!" and
was much put out when she was in
formed that at the most the paper
might serve as an "extenuating cir
cumstance," for the law did not au-
thorize these separations amiables. +"
Here the husband-his face beaming
with delight-broke in. THAT is just
what l always told her, so persist in
my complaint"
He looked, however, rather crest
fallen when the magistrate remarked
that he had no right to display much
severity. Il thought it was all joke, "
he faltered. "a joke which ends in a
court OF law" gravelY observed the
Judge. Again the female defendant
declared, amid roars of laughter from
the audience, that she had fondly i'm
agined that she was perfectly free. 1t
was then shown that before the docu-
ment was actually signed she had
written to her friend, putting him au
courant of the affair." letter to that
effect having been found, and the hus-
band now explained that he had SIM
ply agreed to the plan in order that he
might catch his wife tripping. AS the
magistrate was rejecting on his con-
duct, he exclaimed: "If you mean me
to take her back, l don't want her!"
"Nor l either!" cried his wife. Final
ly, however, the lady was condemned
to weeks imprisonment and fine OF
81, her friend being sentenced to the
payment of 100 francs.

The TunefuI Lyre.

A beggar I am, and constantly tramp
From town unto town, in the dry and the
damp;
And often at close of the wearisome day
[ sleep in a fence corner out of the way;
And seldom, if ever, sleep in a house
But often in barns, where the rat and the
mouse
Watch closely, with greedy, hankering eye,
In hope that ere morning the beggar may die,
For am old and ragged and poor,
And am driven away from the door.
I cnce had a home; it was ages ago;
After labor how sweet it was thither to gol
A wife and child came to welcome me in,
For truly not always beggar I've been.
But trusted a man who was pitiless, bad;
He cheated me out of all thar l had;
A lawyer got fame for his winning the case,
And was left homeless with famine to face.
Thus am old and ragged and poor,
And am driven away from the door.
The struggle was short for my wife and my
boy,
laid them to rest where no troubles annoy;
And alone was left in this wide world of pain,
left all my pride in the graves of the dead,
And became q mere beggar asking for bread
And many hard-hearted, believe not my tale,
For am old and ragged and poor,
And am driven away from the door.
For years 1 have been just beggar, a tramp,
And keep on my way in the dry anC the damp,
A-begging for bread where I'm scOtfed at and
jeered
A-begging for bread where I'm hated and
feared,
And no one will know heart throbbed in the
breast
OF the beggar before it was crushed into rest;
And no one will care when he draws the last
breath,
And passes unnoted the portal of DEATH
And yet, though l am old and ragged
He'll not drive me away from His door

CHINESE AS BEASTS OF BURDEN.
A Singular Sight to Be Seen In Alameda
County, California.

An astonishing sight has been pre-
sented recently to observant travellers
over the narrow-gauge railroad to
Santa Cruz while passing through the
great market gardens near Newark.
in Alameda county, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. It is nothing more or
less than the utilization of Chinese
laborers as beasts of burden, and OF
their own volition, too. Along the
railroad, near the station mentioned,
bands of-cnolias- have rented large
tracts of land for the purpose of rais-
ing vegetables for the San Francisco
market. For the last few weeks the
Chinese have been engaged in planting
beets, onions and other vegetables,
using large drills in doing the work.
Horses have usually been employed to
pull these drills, but here the Chinese
laborers substitute themselves for the
usual beasts of burden, hitch them
selves up in their stead, and are by an
other coolie guided like @dumb driven
cattle" The large seed drill some-
what resembles plow. It has handles
like that implement, and from the
front of the drill extends rope six or
eight feet long. On the end of this
rope pole about eight feet in length is
tied. Two Chinese place the pole in
front of them, about the middle OF
their bodies, and bending to their work
they pull the drill about the field in
response to the commands of the man
at the handles. In some cases, instead
of using the pole, two ropes are at
tached to the drill and the coolie beasts
of burden take the ends of these lines
over their shoulders and plod over the
field. Backward and forward they 60,
just like horses, and apparently as con-
tented with their lot.
Certainly in no other part of the
United States is such sight to be
seen-that of human beings taking the
| place of work animals. When the
Mormons founded Salt Lake City and
populated the country thereabouts, the
working of women in the fields was
common, and even until few years
ago many an old Mormon could be
seen from the cars driving herd OF
his wives hitched to plow like oxen,
and like them staggering under the
yoke, receiving but his curses II they
stopped to rest. The influx of gentiles
has, it is supposed, put an end to this
inhuman treatment of the Aormon's
| female slaves. In some older coun-
tries, where the poorer classes are
| downtrodden and animals are scarce
and fodder dear, such conditions do
still exist, though even there they are
fast becoming rare.
