THE TELEPHONE HEARING.
Mr.. Birney Speaks for the sub
.crthers' Association.

A hearing on the telephone service in
Washington was held this morning by a
subcommittee on the District of Col .Im-
bia.
Mr. A a Birney, who represents the
subscribers association, went over the
history of the service in this city.
The first telephone line in the District
was constructed in 1873 by a company
known as the National Telephone EX-
change This company had a capital
stock of Sl00.0O0. and it expended small
portion of that stock in constructing its
plant. This company was succeeded by
another composed of somewhat the same
men. called the National Capital Tele-
phone Company.
in 1852 said Mr.. Birney, "the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone Company began to
appreciate the commercial value of the
invention, and organized the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company. with
a capital stock of 81 SOC. 600. This organi-
cation made negotiations with the Mary
land Telephone Company, but as appears
from the report of the telephone com
missioner of Maryland this capitalization
was all assigned to the District of Co.
.lumbia, and far we have any in
formation that remains the total capital
ization of the District of Columbia
branch
The rental first charged by this COM
pany" said Mr. Birney. was S12 per year,
the promise being made that when the
number of subscribers should reach 200 a
reduction would be made In the cost. The
rate was raised. however. at different
times. as follows: First. to S25, then to
$40. then to $50. and at last to the rate
that exist today. which is 500 for ground
circuit and Sl25 for the metallic circuit.
Mr. Birney said that the present move
ment of the subscribers to secure re-
duction was but a few weeks old. but
that the people had become aroused, not
only over the excessive charges, but by
the limitations put upon the use of the
felgubOnPS.

BRITISH INFLUENCE.
Sir Julian Pauncefote's Visit to the
White House.

New facts have been learned as to
the significance of the amicable call of
the British ambassador on President Nc
Kinley last Tuesday.
The account of the visit and its mo-
tives published in The Times this morn
ing is borne out in every particular.
1t is learned from high authority that
while Sir Julian PaunCefote pressed very
strongly the friendship of England for
this country and her desire for an ALI
ance there was permeating all that ne
said a very strong suggestion that a
peaceful ending of our troubles with
Spain would be most acceptable TO Queen
Victoria.
A Washington broker with an intima te
personal acquaintance with Senator Han
ma and other influential people. said to a
reporter for The Times this morning:
There can be no question that Eng
lish capitalists are averse to war be-
tween this country and Spain, even as
much 80 as Mr.. Hanna and some of our
own business people are. Sir Julian
Pauncefote's visit unquestiOnably means
that they have sent England's ambassa-
dor on their errand.
1.-The solution To this complication
that the strongest business men in both
countries find most acceptable. is the
purchase of Cuba by the Cubans from
Spain. and the guarantee of the pur-
chase money by America"

A CRADLE OF HISTORIC FAME.

In Existence.

That OF Mary Queen of Scots still
In Existence.
The oak cradle in which Mary Queen
of Scots was rocked is still handsome and
well preserved, though it has passed
through many vicissitudes since it took
its place as the resting-place of the royal
babe at Linlithgow Palace, on December
I, 1912. Joseph V. Patton. a well-knOwn
Scottish antiquary. bought it about sixty
years ago from the family to which it
belonged
His daughter. Mrs. D. o. Hill. gives the
following account of it: "a man whom
my father employed to look out for any
old carved furniture in the neighborhOod
of palaces went into house near Lin
lithgow Palace, where a woman was rock
ing a child in an old oak cradle without
one of the rockers. The man said, What
are We doing. jumblin your BARNS jugd-
mont in thing like that?' She answer
ed, Eth, mont de We no ken that was the
Queens GRADER He said, You'll be ask
ing lot for ito She replied, L wouldna
TAX a pound note for it. The man, on
his return told my father about this, but
thought the woman was asking too much
for it. My father went off at once to
LinlthgOw, and gave the woman a good
price for it. 1t has been in possession of
the family ever since

Asthma.
How it is Treated and
. Cured by the New
rlethOd.

Asthma Is usually known as paroXysms
of difficult breathing, lasting from a
few hours to several days. coming on
at intervals, to be followed by remis-
sions, during which the patient breathes
with comparative ease.
The attack returns again at regular
intervals, or is provoked by exposure
TO cold, damp air, severe efforts. or even
mental emotions. During the attack the
respiration is labored, with wheeling,
frequent cough and threatening suffoca-
ton.
Treatment and Cure,-There is prob
ably no disease of the respiratory organs
which submits so quickly 70 "HYOMEI'
and the Australian Dry-Air Treatment
as Asthma, a few moments use of the
Inhaler giving immediate relief in the
most severe cases, while, its daily use

drops of "HYOMET' placed on a piece
of clean flannel and pinned to the night
robe will prevent an attack and insure
a good nights rest to the patient, curing
the disease while he sleeps.

A Brave wheelwoman's Adventures

The champion non-professional wheel
woman of America is a resident of the
staid and conventional city of Worcester
in the prim and decorous State of Mass
achusetts. Her name is Mrs. A. NJ. G.
Allen. and her record for 1897 is q. 02t
miles ridden in 266 days. This is 10, 2Ot
miles more than any other woman's rec
ord in the United States. In the record.
III centuries are included. The recital OF
the dangers Mrs. Allen has passed is
almost as thrilling as Othello's hair
breadth scapes" Dog bites, a sprained
ankle. a dislocated foot and such trifles
were disregarded as far as possible. and
the plucky "bicyclienne" pushed on with
a determination and ardor unknown even
to many men.

Ferguson. VINO were also poisoned, but
are out of danger. They sat down yes
terday to a breakfast of. oatmeal, milk
and coffee.
All used some OF the milk. which was
in a tomato can. Anne Bean used large
amount of it. So did Peter Ferguson and
Robert Ferguson. his brother. All were
seized with cramps. The old woman suf-
fered more than the others. DR.. Wiley
and DIR. Hazen were called, but the old
woman died in the afternoon. Mrs. Fer
guson's condition was critical last night,
hut this afternoon DR.. Wiley said she
was out of danger. The contents of the

RIGHT TO BE RICH.
QUESTION CONSIDERED FROM THE
STANDPOINT OF CHRISTIANITY

What the Bible Has to Say on the
Subject - What IL Historical nna
What Is Law In the Good Dook-a
Divine's Opinion.
Dc the Scriptures justify any man
in securing and holding riches? This is
the question to be considered in this
article. Some readers will say: What a
question! Is the writer crazy? Why
"of course it is right" Now, it is evi-
dent that the writer has to meet aud
battle with the established preiudiccs
OF men in arguing this question. 1t is
prejudice Mems minds are settled on
that side Hence reason and argument
go for little or nothing But God's word
cannot be rejected without an accumu.
lation of guilt. If the reader has never
