How to Get Them-Their Estimated
Cost.
Undoubtedly within the present year
Bell telephones will be in use in all the
properly appointed Eats in the city. The
Southern New England Telephone company
will sell magnetic telephones for 50 so each.
These instruments are of the kind first in
vented ard are like the receiver on the
telephones now in use. They are made of
a magnet, around which is a coil, and q
disk. To use these person must talk in
to it and then place 1t to his ear to catch
the reply. These telephones themselves
are not very satisfactory for anything but
ehort distance. With the assistance of
battery, however, they are very good.
With two of these telephones, one to speak
into and the other to hold to the ear, at
each end of the wire, good circuit is
made. The wire for the circuit can be
had for almost any price. Bells could be
arranged at q cost of about So or $40. The
Southern New England Telephone company
will rent mile of their wire for $40 per
year. They cannot sell trsnsmitters, but
will be able to rent them very cheaply.
The scale of prices has not yet been ar
ranged.
The switchboard service will not be any
cheaper for the present at least. When .
reduction does come 1t will probably be in
the method of charges, a plan eimilar to

remedy for nasal cstsrrh must be nom
irritating, easy of application, and one that
will reach the remote sores and liberated
surfaces. The history of the efforts to

that certain real estate In Albany, N. Y,

MUCH SYMPATHY
For Mr.. Carter, Bx.Agent OF tn
New Haven Steamboat Line.

Deep sympathy is felt for M. ). W.
Carter, late agent of the New Haven
Steamboat limo, whose case was reported
In our yesterdays issue and his friends
will be glad to know that he Is improv-
ing.
Since his connection with the steam
boat company was severed Mr.. Garter has
been unemployed When Mr.. Miller died
Mr.. Carter's friends circulated q petition
asking that he BE- reinstated. When tho
new agent was appointed Mr.. Csrter's
hopes vanished, ami since then he has
been in most melancholy state. He has
felt as though there was little left for
him. Naturally being of q nervous
temperament the matter preyed upon his
mind.
Last week Wednesday Mr.. Carter
boarded a train and went to visit his
brother. Hiram Carter, in Plaiuville. He
Was very low spirited while there and evi
IDENTIFY suffered from melancholia. 1t was
feared there that HE mind was weakening
uadsr the strain. On Sunday, It Ia said,
he secured some strychnine which was
in Hiram Csr,er's house and took q large
dose Of 1t. The fact was learned by the
family and q physician was summoned
Immediately. He succeeded in saving Mr.
Garter by hard and constant care.
Word was sent to Odd Fsllows in this
city of Mr.. CsrteI's misfortune and they
We're asked to send some one to the depot
to meet him on Monday. 1t was thought
that hs was physically capable of being
brought to his home in this city. he
came down on Monday in company with
three brothers. They were met at the de-
pot by a male nurse and some brother Odd
Fellows.
He WAS taken immediately to his home
at 81 Wooster plsos and there was KEEP
under the constant attention of the nurse
On Tuesday another nurse was sent to tn,
house and assisted the other for some time
MIR. Carter finally became more quiet snt
one of the nurses WAS dispensed with.
Yesterday he was doing nicely at hi
home and 1t is expected that in q few day,
he will bs we'll again. DR.. W. D. Ander

| cal condition is much better and mental,
