The Telephone Ncw,rnper.

The telephone newspaper organized at
Pesth, Hungary, hiss now been working
successfully for two years. 1t is the only
newspaper OF the kind in the world. 1t
i is called the Telephone Hiraondo, or Her
aid, costs cents, like a printed paper,
and is valuable to persons who are unable
or too lazy to use their eyes or who cannot
read. 1t has 5000 subscribers, who re-
ceive the news as they would ordinary
telephone messages. A special wire l6S
miles 10 ng runs along the windows of the
houses OF subscribers, which are connect
ed with the main line by separate wires
and special apparatus which prevents
the blocking Of the system by an accident
at one OF the stations. Within the houses
long flexible wires make it possible to car
ny the receiver to the bed or any other
part of the room. The news Is not de-
livered as it happens to come in, but is
carefully edited and arranged according
to printed schedule, so that subscri-
Der at any time knows what part OF the
paper he is going to hear. 1t begins with
the night telegrams from all parts of Eu-
rope. Then comes the calender of events
for the day, with the city news and the
lists OF strangers at the hotels. After that
follow articles on music, art. and litera-
ture. The staff is organized like that of
any other newspaper, aud i, only on duty
from z 80 in the morning till 8 80 at night.
After the copy has passed through the
editors hands, for the paper is subject to
the same restrictions as ordinary news
papers and is liable for its communica-
tions, it is given to the speakers"
These are ten men with strong voices
and clear enunciation, who work in shifts
Of two at time and talk the news through
the telephone. There are % editions ut
tered day. Additions to the first edition
are announced as news items. To fill up
the time when no news is coming in, the
subscribers are entertained with vocal
and instrumental concerts.

The first zephyr which is to watt in
the millennium has been felt in South
Bend, and the western coast OF the
United States lie quivering over future
possibilities in the same line. The city
council OF that corporation has reduced
all salaries Of city officers to 81 a year
each. A number Of taxpayers and lead.
ing citizens have expressed their willing
ness to take the Offices without pay, To
assist the city in reducing its indebted
ness. This same condition extraordinary
applied to Yakima would save the mu-
nicipality over $4,000 per year; but in our
population of 1900 we apparently number
no philanthropists.
George w. Boggs, the ex-treasr-er OF
Tacoma, was brought back the other day
from Southern Oregon on the charge OF
embezzling $109, 900 of the city's money,
and he is now out on 500, 900 bali. No
one claims that Boggs has any of the
money left, but during his incumbency,
through misappropriation and deposits in
rotten banks, Tacoma lost over four hun
dred thousand dollars. Boggs speculated
and gambled with ruinous result and 1t is
admitted he expended $40. 900 on his sec
ond election. His successor, McCauley,
failed to be much of an improvement and
he was practically deposed last week
through the action Of the council in rails
ing his bond $l00, 900. which he was I'M
able to secure; and on the 30th ult.,
Frederick T. Odds wac appointed his
successor. A Tacoma paper hores for
an improvement now as the bottom has
been reached, the funds all gone, and it
is impossible TO get any lower.

An apostle of physical culture says that
an excellent and never-failipg cure for
nervous headache is the simple act OF
walking backward. Ten minutes is as
long as is usually necessary to promenade.
1t sometimes, however, requires more
than ten minutes to walk at all, if one is
very nervous" But it is not understood
that it is necessary to walk chalkline.
Any kind of walking will do, provided
it is backward. It is well to get in long,
narrow room, where the windows are high
and walk very slowly, placing first the
ball of the foot on the floor, and then tn e
heel. Besides curing the headache, this
exercise promotes graceful carriage. A
half hours walk backward every day will
do wonders toward producing a graceful
gait.

Nearly every family in the United
States keeps bottle of whiskey in the
house. This applies as well to Iowa,
Kansas and Vermont as to states where
its sale is not prohibited.
Some keep it as beverage, some as a
tonic, some as medicine. In either
case it is important that it should be old
and pure.

tie champion would acknowledge his de-
feat. In fact, Dempsey was staggering
through most of the fight, and was
knocked down time after time, and was
only whipped when finishing punch
brought insensibility. Fitzsimmons had
every advantage of Dempsey in height,
reach and weight. Even then Dempsey
was picked out as sure winner. None
OF his admirers thought the Australian
could whip the Noapareil, IL he were
twice as big. 1t will never be known
whether the Australian tornado was a
better boxer and ring tactician, but the
general impression remains that Dempsey
would have whipped him had their height
and reach been more equal. Jack after
wards said that "Fitz" was a "freak."
HE is heavyweight with champion
ship capabilities" said the Nonpareil,
who has discovered some new process
TO reduce weight and not lose strength
thereby. ought to have known better
than to fight kangaroo"
Dempsey's first defeat, when La
Blanche whipped him at the California
club in 1889, was attributed entirely to
his over-confidence. He had whipped
La Blanche before, and was considered a
sure winner again. Dempsey gradually
jabbed the Marine to coalition of
'grogginess, and was fresh and active
enough himself to fight several hours
longer. In the SD round, when it
looked like the Marine would be put out
with punch, Dempsey seemed to hesi-
tate about administering more punish
ment. Jim Corbett, then the boxing in
structor Of the Olympic club, who was
sitting at the ring. side, remarked to
friend: Jack is getting careless. If
he don't look ont the Marine will
fool him with the pivot blow"
And Corbett had predicted right.
In an instant more the mid
die weight champion was PROSTATE on his
face in an unconscious condition. La
Blanch had taken him off his guard, and,
making complete circle, hit him a
swinging blow full in the nose. La
Blanch had won. for Dempsey, after
making several Intellectual attempts to
arise inside of the required 10 seconds,
sank to the floor and was counted out.
Dempsey had met his first defeat when
victory seemed absolutely certain. Pam
demoniuin reigned among the several
thousand spectators in the club amphi-
theater, who could scarcely realize the
result.

SALEM, Ore, Feb. 24.-George W.
Mcbride, eX-secrctary of state, has
been elected United States senator to
succeed j. N. Dolph. At the begin.
ming of the twenty-third ballot last
night Cleston, of Columbia county, a
Dolph man, arose and presented the
name of Mcbride. The immense
throng in attendance Immediately gave
cheer after cheer for Mcbride. As the
rollcall progressed it became evident
that Mcbride would be elected.
When he received the forty
fifth vote, which was necessary
to election, bedam broke loose.
All the republicans began to change
their votes and when the call was con-
pleted, Mcbride received the full repub-
lican strength of ~ votes Mr.. Mcbride
made brief speech, thanking the
legislature for the election.
1t was narrow escape from dead
lock, for had the election been delayed
fifteen minutes longer the time for adj
journment sine die of the legislature
would have arrived.
George w. McBride,. the senator
elect, is Al years of age. He is ma
tive son of Oregon and lawyer by
profession. He has served in the state
legislature, and held the Office of sec.
retary of state for eight years, going
out of office last January Mr.. Nc
Bride has never been identified with
the silver or anti-silver element, nor
has ne ever been in Il position where
he was obliged to make Il record on
the question, lnasm uch as he was
elected by Dolphs supporters, how.
ever. it is reasonable to suppose that
he will not ally himself with the free
coirage people.
