TRAIN TELEPHONE.

From the Philadelphia Record. -
An electrical telephone signal sys-
tenn will soon be introduced on tho
Brooklyn bridge which will, it is
said, reduce to a minimum tte dan
ger of collisions of cable cars on the
bridge. 1t is probable that within a
short time telephone connections
will be made between all the trains
running on the bridge and the train
dispatcher in charge. This will give
the dispatcher almost instantaneous
command over all trains.
Assistant Engineer Kingsley L.
Martin has conducted experiments
which have shown that the plan 10
feasible. The experiments hereto
fore have been with the electric light
trolley wire strung over the bridge,
with ground circuit in the trunk OF
the car. In the future this will be
abandoned, and metallic circuit,
which gives much more favorable
results than the ground circuit, will
be substituted.
Under the proposed system. the
train dispatcher will sit in his office
and wear head telephone, and will
have long distance transmitter and
signal tells before him, as well as
opnoratI,a ba .pou pcAs
At both. ends OF the train there
will be a head telephone and 9
transmitter, so arranged that the
gripman may speak into it without
moving from his Place at the wheel
or his gaze from the tracks and sig
nails. He will be ready to receive
orders and execute them instantly.
Tie trainmen ordinarily will have
their telephones hung up, and will
only adjust them when bell rings,
when all the ira nmen will put their
receivers to their ears. In foggy
weather the men would probably
wear the head telephone constantly.
During the experiment car fitted
with an ordinary telephone was con.
nected with the terminal 80 we'll that
voice in the car could be distin-
guished and understood during the
entire trip to the other end OF the
bridge.

First Chosen Woman Elector.

T NNoSS w u HSbSCLOTS
Mrs. Sarah Malloy, of Cheyenne,
Wyo., has been chosen Z Presidential
Elector by the Republicans Of Wyom-
ing, being the first INA in the Uni
ted States to attain that high position.
This Is the most pronounced victory for
the cause Of woman's suffrage so far
recorded, and marks an era in the polit-
zeal progress Of the female sex. 1t real
ICES the widest dreams of Mrs. Susan
b. Anthony and the other pronounced
advocates of woman's rights. From
this nomination to the choice Of q wom-
an for Governor Of a State is now only
a step, and the possibility of a female
President seated in the White House
at Washington looms up with startling
c%learness. That Wyoming should have
been the first to break down the bars
that kept woman out Of the Electoral
College was to have been expected. 1t
was here that the political equality OF
the was first recognized. Mrs.
Malloy has been active in politics ever
since Wyoming adopted oma SUI
frage. She was of the first workers
in the cause in the West, and helped
materially to secure the adoption by the
Legislature Of what was then the Terri
tory Of Wyoming Of the law giving
woman the franchise. IF we are good

a marvel how cut alone, without the

the box coat is most popular. 1t was on

time offered in a variety of modiica-
tons that suit it to all styles and

were worked in the wide bias fold that

wired garniture, both being Of black
velvet, which was also used for cuffs
and pockets. The moderately full
sleeves were trimmed with bias folds

The other garment was in mastic-
