WATCHING THE WATcHMAN.
How They Are Prevented from Sleeping
While on Duty.

A night watchman in Brooklyn, especially
IN one of the great stores or buildings, has
small chance of enjoying gentle slumber
while he is on duty, remarks the New York
Sun. Even if he does give way to drCwsi-
ness he is apt to be rudely awakened be-
fore he has had time to get his eyes fairly
closed, and this awakening is done by the
American District Telegraph Company.
The system employed is simple but effec-
tive. In each building of subscriber are
placed calls, connected with tickers in the
district Office of the company. To reach
the calls successively the watchman has to
traverse the whole building from top to bot
tom. There is schedule made out for him,
showing the time at which he must pull
each call If he fails to do SO at the ap-
pointed time he will soon be asked for an
explanation, For instance, in one of the
large dry goods houses there is station, as
the calls are named, in the delivery room
in the sub-basement. Here the signal must
be turned in for the first time at P NJ.
At 7.02 P. M. a call must be sent in from
the soda-water fountain on the main floor;
at IA from the front of the main floor and
SO on, signals must be turned in at inter-
walls of two minutes until the watchman has
gone all over the store. Then at o'clock
he begins again, and keeps up his rounds
until o'clock in the morning.
At the telegraph office accurate account
is kept of the signals. Each station has a
number. When the signal comes in bell
rings the number, and at the same time it
is recorded on a tape. The op orator first
marks on the tape the exact time of the
signal, and then on sheet of paper PRE-
pared for the purpose makes record of
the signal. On this same paper is printed
the number of stations the subscriber has
ard the time when the signal should be
received. If the signal does not come lin
within short time of the hour and minute
set for it, man is sent Immediately to the
building to find what the matter is, and
the next morning a report is sent to the
main Office and to the subscriber. saying
that the watchman failed to turn in a GER
tain signal the night before, and giving
the watchman's excuse for his failure to do
so. By this system it is almost impossible
for anything to happen in a building with
out the company knowing it in very short
time.
Brooklyn is quiet town and a sedate one
and the men have a habit of crossing the
bridge of an evening and launching forth
into the pleasures in the metropolis. leaving
their wives to take care of the houses.
Now, to help these wives in hours of need,
the company has system of calls by which
policeman, the family physician or a car
rage can be obtained in a sEort time. The
subscriber leaves at the oficce the address
of the family physician. When he is wanted
the lever of the call box is pulled three
time, and a man is sent out for him imme-
dately from the district office. If he can't
be found the people are notified of the

time 1t would fail to accomplish its intenoeu
purpose and if it is laid in any streets
which are sufficiently above high tlde TO
allow an open outlet at all times 1t is zoo
high to receive all the sewerage wnlch
ought to pass into it.
The low grade of the back bay fill is the
fundamental difllc ulty which stands in the
way. If it We're, say eight 1eet, higher
than it is, it would permit sewer which
could receive substantially all the sewerage
which now is discharged into the bay and
could carry it beyond Tukey's bridge. This
would also include the sewerage of DeeIing
where any trunk sewer must be longer and
more expensive than on the Portland side.
The whole extent of the back bay territory
which must substantially be filled is about
one mile square. Allowing frequent streets
1t will divide into more than sixty three
hundred building lots fifty oy one hundred
Ieet IN size. With house on each lot con-
ta1ning an average of five persons it will
support population of more than thirty
thousand. If devoted to business there is
the same need of cellars and drainage. 1t
can have neither if the fill proceeds at the
present grade. The back bay of Boston
was originally filled, or a part of it, at a
grade not much above high water. 1t has
since been raised at great expense. Why
may we not p1 oft by the example? 1t is of
course impossible at present to change the
grade of the teri iitory between Lincoln
street and the marginal way, but why not
raise the grade of the marginal why from
Green street eastward and compel all fu-
ture fills to conform to it. The present tenn
porary system of sewerage can be continued
until thesfill shall.have actually raised mar
ginal way to the proposed grade and also
Green street and a street beyond franklin
when an intercepting sewer in those will
carry away the principal part of the sewer
age which empties into the bay. The grade
of the territory built upon can be raised
as occasion may warrant. At any rate a
higher grade for the unoccupied territory
will be a step in the right direction. H.

THE PRESIDENTS FUTURE.
He May Become Citizen of Massachu
setts.
ttHolland's" New York Letter to Phila-
delphia Press.)

t"Holland's" New York Letter to Phila-
delphia Press.)
If the Presidents intimate friends repre-
sent him correctly, he refused to register
for no other reason than that he does not
believe that he has the right to do it. He
knows that his attempt to register would
not be objected to, and that he could prob
ably select the hotel which he is accus-
toned to make his city home as his legal
residence. But his friends say that he
would regard such an act as dishonora BILE,
because he has no probably fixed in his pur-
pose of ever living in New York perma-
nently.
These friends say that if Mr.. Cleveland
had registered at all or qualified as voter
he would have done SO in the township in
which Gray Gables is situated. He looks uI-
on that summer retreat as the only home
that he has. Washington being regarded by
every one who holds high office as merely
a temporary abiding place. Moreover, we
hear on excellent authority that when Mr.
Cley Glands term has expired he will go tli-
rect to Gray Gables and spend the greater
part of the year in that retreat, with which
he is greatly charmed. He has said some
things which lead his friends to infer that
give up all activities and enjoy himself
without care or distraction upon that beau
tiful estate. He has been greatly fascinat-
ed during the recent vacation spell with
the direction of the estate, the laying out
of roads, the planning of improvements
the enlargement and beautifying of the
park.
Besides that New York City, it is said,
has never been oongenial place to Mrs.
Cleveland, nor does she think the city one
where the children can be brought up in
such way as to gain the full measure of
health and the better training which she
hopes they may receive. One of Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends, speaking of this last Satur-
day. went so far as to say that it would not
be surprising if Mr.. Cleveland chose to
take the practice of law, if he should enter
into association with one of the greater
Boston firms. He has in Boston some init
mates of whom he in very fond He is es-
pecially delighted with the companionship
of Ex-Governor Russell, and there are other
men of high character and social standing
in that city whose friendship he cherishes.
Very likely this assertion is a mere surmise,
but it is an assertion which has been made
by more than one of the Presidents friends.
