A PHONE IN HIS HAT.
Constant Communication Between
Trainmen and Dispatcher.

An electrical telephone signal sys-
tenn will soon be introduced on the
Brooklyn bridge, which will, it is said,
reduce to a minimum the danger 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 Mar
tin has conducted experiments which
have shown that the plan is feasible.
The experiments heretofore have
been made with the electric light
trolley wire strung over the bridge,
| with a round circuit in the truck Of
the car. In the future this will be
abandoned and a metallic circuit
which gives much more favorable re
suits than the ground circuit, will be
substituted.
Under the proposed system, the
train dispatcher viii sit in his Office
and yea a head telephone and will
have a long distance transmitter and
signal bells before him, as well as APP
paratus he now uses.
At both ends of every train there
will be a head telephone and a trans
mitter, SO arranged that the gripman
may speak into it without moving
from his place at the wheel or his
gaze from the tracks and signals. He
will be ready to receive orders and
and execute them instantly. The
trainmen ordinarily viii have their
telephones hung up, and will only ad-
just them when a bell rings, when all
the traiumen will put their receivers
to their ears. In foggy weather the
men wouid probably wear the head
telephone constantly.
During the experiments a a fitted
with an ordinary telephone was con-
nected with the terminal so well that
q voice in the car could be distinguish
ed and understood during the entire
trip to the other end of the bridge.
There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in

tors pronounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies and by con-
stantly failing to III with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be q con-
stitutional disease, and, therefore, re-
quires constitutional treatment. HaiPe

Central School Report.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
VENTURA, Mo-, Jan. 29.-Following
is the enrolment of Central school:
Males, IS; females, %; total, so. Num-
Der over Is years of age, 15. No cases
of corporal punishment and no truan-
cies.
The attendance during the months
of September, October, November
and December was almost perfect,
while that of January has been fair
considering the weather and sickness.
Nineteen were perfect in attendance
this month, namely: Lewis Galloway,
Nora Vanlandingham, Hugh Hollans-
head, Earl H~ollanshead, Susie Hol-
loway, Emma Holloway, Kenneth
Berrey, Kay Berrey, Irene Holloway,
Helen Mallory, Jessie Mallory, Russell
Holloway, Luther Davidson, Pearl
Hollanshead, Emma Hollanshead,
Gertrude Hollanshead, Glide Sharp,
Warren Mallory, Carrie Yeager.
We have two months more and hope
to preserve a good report to the end.
The patrons of Central are enthusiasts
on the subject of education and spare
no efforts that urge the young on in
that line. They have a nice roomy
house, well furnished and supplied
with Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
and a library consisting of so volumes
of choice books.
And not a goldbug in the district,
but 16 to / men, straight. Even the
school boys are so inspired by their
fathers that they can produce forcible
silver arguments. w. 7. TODD.

THE MAsoNs ASK FOR PE.AUE.
The Grand Lodge of Tennessee Issues
an Appeal to the Fraternity.

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. 5o.-At the
meeting yesterday of the grand lodge
of Tennessee Masons, the following
appeal was adopted:
To all Ancient, Free and Accepted
Masons throughout the world:
Greetings-The grand lodge OF Ten
nessee, now sitting in annnai com
munication in the city of Nashville,
do send this, their ~fraternal greeting,
to the brethren of the mystic tie,
wheresoever dispersed, and sincerely
hope and pray that the war cioud
which now seems lowering over the
nations of the earth will soon be dis
persed and the white wings OF peace
will again cast their l~engthening
shadows over the world.
To this end we urge upon every
grand lodge of Ancient, Free and Ac-
cepted Masons, meeting during the
wear of 1896, to issue some fraternal
sentiment ~favoring a peaceful termi-
nation of all international strife. Al
SO that they use their influence with
the war making and peace making
powers of the two worlds, to exhaust
all honorable and peaceful mean to
settle all contention before the resort
to arms. War between nations means
death and destruction and untold
agonies, and we who believe in the
Brotherhood of God and the Brother
hood of man. cannot refrain from
raising our voice in condemnation OF
needless shedding of human blood,
Brethren, we greet you and strike
hands with you in bringing about
a peaceful solution of impending
danoara of war.

For every quarter in a mans pocket
there are a dozen uses; and to use
each one in such a way as to derive
the greatest benefit is a question
everyone must solve for himself. We

than to exchange it for a bottle of
