NEW TELEPHONE RATES.


 s. N. F.. T. Co. Makes Change In Its
 New London Service Antiseptic
 Mouthpieces Barred
 The Southern New England TeIe- phone company announced yesterday that 1t would try new experiment in telephone rates never before tried ex- cept upon the Pacific coast. It will, for one year, in the city of New London and the borough of Winsted install instru- ments and give in New London an in ward or "calP' service at seventy-five cents a month or $9 year. In Win sted the rate will be fifty cents a month or $6 a year for the same kind of ser vice. The outward service at the same instruments will be five cents a mes- sage.
 The experiment will last at least through the year 1900 and subscriptions for telephones in the two places for the purposes of the experiment will be so- licited during the present month.
 The instruments of the Southern New England Telephone company which are used by their New London subscribers have been lately fitted with what is known as an antiseptic mouthpiece. These attachments are not put on by the company but were sold to the sub- scribers by outside parties. and as the company does not allow any such at- tachments their men have been busy the past few days in visiting the diff ferent instruments and removing the attachments wherever found.
 The officials of the company say that the attachments do not tend to make the instruments any better and as they do no good have had them removed In only one other city in the state have they been bothered with agents selling the mouthpieces.
