CODED TELEGRAPHY.
Methods by Which News Is Transmitted
to Newspapers Without Waste
OF Words or Time.

In the course of an interesting article
in recent issue of the Philadelphia
Ledger, II. r. Swivel, a telegrapher
who some fifteen years ago worked
under superintendent O'Brien at the
Scranton office of the Western Union,
but who has since become one of the
most expert news receivers in the
country in the employ of the Asso-
ciated Press, tells how the introduce
tion of improved methods has made
changes in the transmission OF tele-
graphic news.
For years." explains Mr. Swivel,
1.-The dispatches were sent on the wires
just as the copy read. All words were
spelled out in full. and were copied by
pen, pencil or stylus by the receiving
operator. But this method was made
quate to the demands of the papers,
and more rapid system was invent
ed. By the old and antiquated way
5000 words were considered a h'~ Cay
or nights work, while under the pres
ent and modern system, called the
Phillips code, from 10000 to $4,000 words
in a night or day can be handled with
less mental strain.
1.-THE Phillips code is essentially a
stenographic system. 1t can be used
by reporters, and the same copy be put
on the wires to be sent by the opera
tors. An illustration will give the
reader an idea of the brevity of this
code, and show the advantages over
the old and long way of transmitting
news dispatches. The following is
about the form used:
"Washn, DC, May 14th.-In (the)
Sa (Senate) tda (today) ws (was) intd
Gntroduced) a bl (bilD apg (appropri-
ating) $50 tnd (fifty thousand dollars)
fr (for) (the) use (of the) the)
scotus (Supreme court of the United
States). T the) bl (bilD ws (was) rat
(read for a third time).
Some of the shorter abbreviations
are: Ty (they) tr. (there), TIM (them),
k (out of, 5 Chat the), cks. (com-
mitted suicide) (of which,, and thou
sands of others.
when it is taken into consideration
that the receiving operator must be as
thoroughly familiar with the code as
the sending operator, the reader will
readily see that to spell out this coded
matter on the typewriter he must be
possessed of more ability than the or
dinary telegrapher of the day."
BY means of these abbreViations II
is possible for a newspaper like The
Tribune to receive over one wire In
eight hours sufficient news to fill two
pages if all of it were used.

MINOOKA.

Despite the threatening weather Of
last evening McDonough's hall was
taxed to it's utmost capacity by an au-
dlence that had assembled to witness
the third act of the Comedy of Err
rors." The first witness was Thomas
Kelly whose evidence caused a sensa-
ton by acknowledgements made. Mr..
Watson carefully examined Kelly. He
produced an itemized account of his
work. Witness was cross-examined by
Attorney John p. Kelly, who was on
hand to represent the school directors.
The attorney asked Kelly damaging
questions to which he first answered
yes. The question was objected to by
Mr.. Donahoe, township counsel, who
advised witness not to say that he had
perjured himself. He took Mr.. Dona-
hoes counsel and said that his memory
was not extra good. He was dismissed.
The second witness was Ben Fern
who did work at the Archibald school.
such as plastering and painting. His
bill was somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 800. Watson wanted to know
if the local director did not get divy.
Witness answered "No." His testi-
mony was straight.
Next Witness was Ddnlel " LendHdH,
who did work around No. school. His
evidence caused some merriment. At
this juncture Joseph Moore, a consta-
BILE from the Twentieth ward, who serv-
ed in his official capacity for the audit
ors, and acted as peace preserver,
threatened to clear the room If the
crowd would not keep silent. O'Lena-
hans evidence was interesting. NJ. p.
Judge was on hand representing their
firm. The investigation adjourned to
meet Thursday morning at o'clock.
After the meeting James Mangan serv-
ed notice on the news mongers that
they would be barred out hereafter.
Mrs. A. H. Compton is visiting in

been arranged that committee of the
Hibcrnian organization should meet
him and go over his accounts. When
1t was ascertained that he had left
Pittston a search was started and 1t
was found that he had come TO this
city in company with a friend and had
told the latter that he was going to
Seattle, Wash.
1t is presumed that Miles is headed
for the Klondike digglngs but his un-
usual height will make him a mark
for any further search that may be
made.

FATHER GARVEY MAY BE NAMED.
Mentioned for COadjutor- Bishop of
Erie of This Diocese.

1t is rumored, and on apparently
good authority, that Rev. E. A. Garvey.
Of Williamsport, will be made coad-
jutor bishop of Erie. Rt. Rev. Tobias
Mullen, bishop of Erie, has asked for
a coadjutor, and according to the rules
of the church, the names of the can
didates have been forwarded to Eome.
At a meeting Of the bishops held
recently in Philadelphia, the sentiment
was unanimously in favor of Father
Garvey. He is we'll known to the priests
of Erie. and his appointment would
naturally give much satisfaction to the
priests of the Scranton diocese
