In view of the fact, as stated by the
Lawrence Record, that the general con-
ference of the United Brethren church
has decided that no new colleges shall
he organized for the next four years, the
Record suggests that it is probable that
The move now being made to secure a
bonus of 100000 from some city or
town IN Kansas for the ostensibie pur-
pose of building college for that de-
nomination in the state, is the work of
unauthorized parties who are after the
bonus. Whether the suspicion is well
founded or not, it is hardly probable that
any community able to raise the amount
named would take the cork under with

LONG-DISTANCE FRIENDSHIPS.
Ultimately Acquainted Telegraph Oper-
ators Who Never See Each Other.


There are pairs OF men who have
been in daily communication with each
other over the same telegraph wire for
years, and who have never seen each
other. Each is well acquainted with
the others temperament. his moods.
his disposition and his sentiments.
Telegraph instruments and telegraph
wires are unfeeling and stolid-looling
things. Yet, through them man is
able to convey emotions of sorrow or
JOY almost as plainly as they may be
expressed facially The fact is perfect
lv palpable to the man at one end of
the wire, while he Is receiving dis
patches, that the man who Is sending
them is i'll or well, or-th ough the
sender Eay make use of no terms of
friendliness or of swear words-that he
is in good temper. or bad.
In their conversation telegraphers
use a system of abbrevia tions which
ena bies them to say considerable more
in certain period of time than they
otherwise could. 1t is not quite as com
plete as the Phillips code, but answers
their requirements very we'll Their

may be accompanied by an inquiry by
one as to the health of the other, which
would be expressed thus INV Is

BY the time these courtesies have
taken place SOME early messages have
come from the receiving department,
or from some other wire. and the man
before whom they arc placed says: ''Wl
hrs fu; gol durn is everlastin' grind.
wish WIS rich" And the other man
says; mo rest for wicked. min pen, ="
the last words indicating that he wants
the sender to wait minute while he
adjusts and tests his pen. Presently
he clicks ont 'g. a, meaning Go
ahead, and the days work has begun.
Operators laugh over the wire, or
rather they convey the fact that they
are amused. They do this by tele-
graphing 'ha, ha." Very great amusc-
ment is indicated by sending ''ha"
slowly and repeating it several times,
and smile is expressed by sending
''ha' once or perhaps twice. Trans
hitting it slowly and repeating it tells
the perpetrator of the joke al the other
end of the wire that the listener is
leaning back in his chair and laughing
long and heartily.
When the feeling between two oper-
ators in two cities, instead of being
that of gentle affection, IS that of
strong dislike, the fact can be made
Just as apparent as though they were
within few feet Of each other No
personal collision can occur. Of course.
This is one of the drawbacks. But
man can call names and make threats
over a wire with almost the same IA
cility as by word of mouth One of the
favol-ite resorts when two operators are
quarrelliug is that professional Unknown
as fighting circuit Not much is &C
complished by this. however. for when
two operators strive at the same time
TO call names over a wire neither can
succeed. -Washington star.

DEFAULTER FOR $3o,ooo.
Stock Dealing Led to the Downfall of a

SYRACUSE, Sept. 29.-Frank B. Kendrick, assistant cashier in the Commercial bank, is a defaulter in the sum of 5000 The discrepancy was discovered when Bank EN- aminer B S. w.
