LOW RATES MAY RESULT.

Expiring Telephone Patents May Bring
About New and Improved Services
Everywhere.
Within a few months the patents
upon which the telephone monopoly is
built will have expired, and competition,
with lower rates, will perhaps have be-
come practicable On Friday last the
Blake transmitter, which transmits mes
sages over the line wire, became public
property. On March the main patent
issued TO Bell, covering the fundamental
principle-the transmission of speech
electrically over wire-expires,
and at the same time the first patent
for receiver" expires.
There was a second patent for an i'm
provement of the receiver" which will
not expire till January 30, 1894, but prac
tically the right TO make, sell and use
fairly serviceable telephones will become
common property during the present
year. The fact may be expected to
prove beneficial to the public, which has
been paying excessive prices for the use
of the patented instruments.
In other countries. where our laws do
not apply, telephone service is vastly
cheaper than among us. The field for
competition opened by the expiration of
patents is to be occupied, it is stated, by
various rival companies. When instru-
ments. costing altogether not over So
rent for $75 or 500 year there is evi-
IDENTIFY margin of profit that will tempt
capital At a rental of $40 or $l5 year
there should be large demand for in
struments, even though they are no bet
ter than those in use in 1877.
There are predictions, however, to the
effect that the public will not after all
! profit by the expiration of the earlier
Bell patents. The monopoly, the argu
ment runs, is now too strong to be con
tended with If forced to rect p rival's
low rates 1t will do so, ana then alter ,
war of rates it will, in the usual manner
buy up or ruin its rival Baltimore Sun

A MILITARY Handkerchief.

Permission for soldiers to carry pocket
handkerchiefs will now probably DO
given, for l see the war Office authorities
have sanctioned a military handkerchief
being patented by Lieutenant Colonel
Fulton.
On this handkerchief is printed all
sorts of useful information concerning
the use and construction Of the Lee-Met-
ford rifle, the alphabet used by army
signalers, general rules to be observed in
any position in which a soldier may find
himself on campaign, the various bugle
calls and other things, many of which
are so nicely illustrated that it would be
a thousand pities to use it in the manner
naturally prompted by a cutting NOR

Tho Rn,irnI of Citins.

The revival of such cities as Athens
and Damascus can be explained by the
unrivaled advantage Of their location.
an advantage which has also more than
once proved the salvation of Constanti-
nople. The fire service of the Turkish
capital is "a century behind the average
of the times. and in the southern suburbs
there are miles of streets lined with
nothing but wooden houses. but the aris-
tocratic quarters in their present condi-
tion are really almost fireproof. The
palaces of the Turkish grandees are built
almost exclusively of stone, the very
floors consisting Of n mosaic of varie-
gated marble, while an abundance Of
water is supplied by indoor baths and
fountains. but in addition TO all that
they arc surrounded by acres Of ever
green shrubs which in their turn are in
closed by massive stone walls.
A single establishment Of that sort
and their number runs up in the hun.
dred-cOuld stand unscathed In the
midst Of flaming streets. and old Stam-
boul may in the same way survive a
bOmbardment of the predicted Russian
invasion. It's site at all events wonld
insure its resurrection.-San Francisco

Ina Railroad Wreck.

"Say, these things are mighty funny
afterward," said the baggageman, 'but
when they happen it's nothing to laugh
about. When we bumped into that
freight just out Of Chicago three years
ago l was sitting back in the car check
ing up. 1t threw me down and then !
started to crawl for the back door. The
tender telesuoped and came through at
me. 1t didn't stop till was within four
feet of the back Of the car, and l sat there
waiting for it to catch me. l remember
it had '4S7' in red figures, and as it came
grindin through at me every figure
looked ten feet high. When it stopped
1 could reach out and touch it. Chicago

A Strange death.

Thomas Odell, a young man of twen-
ty-two years, living seven miles back of
Greenup, KY, has met death in strange
manner. He had been a puzzle to ply
sicians for several years. He was affected
by what he ate to such an extent that
when he indulged in beef eating about
an hour afterward he would become
restless and wander out in search of
cattle and below as an OK, and would
get down on his hands and knees and
eat grass like a COW. When he partoolz
Of mutton his actions were those of a
sheep, and he would plaintively bleat
like lamb. When he ate chicken he
would go out and scratch for worms,
which he would devour with apparent
relish.
After eating fish he would wander to
the creek and go in swimming. One day
his father killed several squirrels, of
which the son ate heartily for dinner.
He left the house shortly after and was
followed by the father. The father saw
him enter an oak grove. and soon saw
his son jumping nimbly from limb to
limb, at the same time barking like a
squirrel. He called for him to come
down, but this only seemed TO make the
boy want to escape, and he attempted to
jump from one tree to another, but
missed and fell to the ground, man
gled, breathless mass of humanity, and
expired in less than five minutes.-At-
lanta Constitution.

A Beautiful Toast.

On a grand day in the old chivalric
times, when the lady of each knightly
heart was pledged by name, when it
came to ST. Icons turn he lifted the
sparkling cup on high and gave them
this: II drink to one" he said, 'whose
image never may depart, deep carven on
the human heart, till memory is dead.
With that he paused as if he would moi
breathe her name in careless mood thus
lightly to another, then bent his noble
head as though to give that word the
reverence due, and gently said-''my
motherr-London Tit-Bits.

Robert GayIor as sport McAliister "
The eccentric Irish comedian, Robert
Gaylor, will be seen at the Grand Opera
House tomorrow night in his farcical
comedy. "Sport McAllister One of the
400" His appearance here as dramatic
star has been heralded by the praise of
the leading New York papers, and a
triumph may be safely predicted An
excellent company of well known farce
comedy stars has been engaged by Man
ager Brady TO support Mr. Gaylor, and
the roster contains the names of twenty
two of artistic repute, all of whom ap
peared with Comedian Gaylor during his
famous run of over fifty consecutive
nights at the Bijou Theatre, New York.
No better company has ever been seen
here, IL the eastern contemporaries may
be believed, aud the company may be
assured of a series of crowded houses
during its stay in this city.

enced by reason Of limited areas should
contagious diseases come to their sta
tions and Professor A. N. Bell, Drs.
Roberts and Griffin of New York and
Brooklyn, in charge Of the hospitals for

Of an island surrounded by salt water
and of large area as the ideal quarantine
site. This was also endorsed by Port
Physician Jenkins and DR.. Durgin, presi-
dent Of the Board Of Health Of Boston,
and his associates in Chicago Of their
quarantine.
After extensive correspondence and
assisted by the experience of Dr. Ben

Ger Of the Pennsylvania State Board Of

Port Physician of PHILADELPHIA both
members Of the Pennsylvania Commits
sion, and gentlemen who have made ex

Hook Island was visited and by all the
Commissions decided TO be the best
adapted site in Delaware, giving all the
requisites, by its location and adapted to
perfect exemption from the slightest
probability Of the introduction of the
disease to the people of the States upon
the Delaware or TO the country at large,
and both Committees reported this island
to their respective governors, as the best
site possible.
Upon recommendation Of the Pennsyl-
vania Commission the Legislature now
instructs Governor Pattison, TO cour
teeusly ask Of the State Of Delaware per-
mission for his State tc purchase from
the owners the entire island Tor so much
as the owners are willing to selD for the
purpose of erecting hospitals, crema
tories and disinfecting houses for per
sonal baggage, etc, as well as cargoes
aud vessels, upon such conditions as the
State cf Delaware shall deem right and
proper
The advantages to the citizen of all
sections of Delaware are manifold by the
acceptance of the magnanimous pro
posal as 1t secures 10 her marine interests

out cost, and her people are all safe from
the introduction Of contagious diseases,
and are without such a protection at

THERE was no quorum at the caucus
of Republican Senators to consider what
action the senate should take on the
proposition to repeal the Sherman silver
bill. If there had been any serious inten-
tion Of pressing the silver appeal ques-
tion to an issue. that intention speedily
disappeared under the discouraging cir
cumstances, and after brief expression
Of individual views ON the subject, &C.
became evident that no agreement could
be reached that could by any possibility
secure the adhesion Of all, or nearly all,
Of the Republican Senators. The sub
ject was lot mentioned at the caucus.
Thus fails the brave defiance Of Sena-
tor Sherman that he would engage to
pass a repeal bin IL ten Democratic Sena.
tors would assist him. There are twelve
Democratic Senators ready to assist him.
But when Senator Sherman attempted I,
marshal his Republican forces be failed
Il Is probable that If Senator sherman
does get his forces together and they agre,
upon a repeal bill, il will contain provi
sions to which the Democrats. who wan
an immediate and absolute repeal, viii no
agree. The fact is that the grave Sena
tor from Ohio is playing tricks that
