There is considerable kicking at what
is considered an arbitrary rule, recent
" made by the Manning Telephone
Co., and it would be surprising to us if
another line is not established in the
near futnre. Those who rent phones"
are not permitted to allow others to
talk without pay, confning the use of
the ''phones" strictly 10 subscribers;
The subscribers complaining contend
that when they rent an instrument tits
theirs as long as they pay, and the
management has no right to prevent
them from using the ''phones" as
they see fit. When the phones" were
put in there was nothing said about who
Should use the instruments, the sub
scribers taking it for granted that no
arbitrary rules would be adopted. 1t
Just amounts to this. the company will
recede from this unjust rule or sub
scribers will recede from the company.

Manning was visited last Saturday
by two of Baltimore's multi-million-
aires, MesSrs Abe Heckheimer and Gus
Gumprecht. These gentlemen travel
and are on the constant
lookout for investments. While here
Mr.. Gumphrecht busted himself with
tearing off coupons from the stock Of a
factory of which he is the principal
owner. arG, his companion wiled away
his time IN considering the advisability
of locating first class hotel with a
laundry attachment in Manning. These
two capitalists are quite fond of Man
ming, and their acquaintances are fond
of them: they are merry fellows, full
of fun as well as business, and in their
respective lines the concerns they rep
resent have peaches. -

one of a hundred New York houses.

Electricity In Mining.

In the first place. its great conven-
fence must be noted. An electric lamp
can be placed and used where no other
lamp can and practically any candle
power that may be required can be
had from it. An electric motor to do
certain work is much lighter and ham
dier than any other form of motor, and
the cables which feed it with energy
are lighter. handler, more easily got
into position and more easily main
tanned than the pipes required for
either steam or compressed air. The
electric signal and the electric teIe-
phone will do what no other apparatus
will All these are sources Of economy
In themselves. and the buster the mine
the greater the economies effected.
But apart from these considerations,
the electric motor and the electric sys-
tenn of transmitting power is far more
efficient than any other system.-En-

both seem to be on much the same
principle. The English device is at

his weapon behind cover. but also to
md his target and his range at the

There has been a story circulated to
the effect that when Queen Victoria
dies the Emperor William would push
his claim to the throne as being nearer
in the line of succession than his uncle.
the Prince OF Wales. This could not
possibly be. as the cognate law Of sue
cession prevails in Great Britain. This
law gives the right of succession to the
male heirs in the same relation to the
sovereign and excludes all female heirs
without regard to priority of birth as
long as male heirs are living Queen
Victoria's great-grandchildren are near
er to the throne than her own sons, ex-
cept the Prince Of Wales. Marriage
to a Catholic debars a prince or prin-
cess from the throne Of England.

Mrs. nugxin. and the rsiamas

Mrs. Buggins has gone in for the
emancipation OF her sex. She doesn't I
exactly want to run the universe, and
she confesses she wouldn't know how
to vote il she tried. Her attempt at
emancipation has taken the form OF
pajamas. For long time she has
rallied against the conventionallty that
has bound her to the robe de mutt,
and has cast envious eyes at the silk
pajamas worn by Mr.. Buggins.
II don't see why We women can't
wear them, too" she said the other
day. Then she went to a Chestnut
street haberdasher's aud asked to be
shown pajamas for boys.
'How old is the boy?" asked the
salesman.
''Graciousl / don't know" replied
Mrs. Buggins, who is not blessed with
any children OF her own. And then,
seized with sudden inspiration, she
added; II think he wears No. 13
collar, if you can tell by that"
The salesman told her that those
sizes were not kert in stock, and
would have to be made to order.
'You had better bring the boy hero,
and then we can tell better about the
size," he said. Mrs. Buggins prom
ised and left the store, greatly de.
jected. .-Philadelphia Record.

All over Europe today deaf and
dumb mutes are being taught to com
municate with the world by articulate
speech. The oral method. which de-
velops the voice by training the sight,
so that congenital mutes literally hear
with the eye. is entirely superseding
the use OF sign language. This is
accomplished by accustoming the eyes
OF child to distinguish and remem-
Der the movement OF the lips that ac-
company certain vowel and consonant
sounds. At the beginning the pupil is
taught to hold one hand upon tho
throat and the other upon the chest
of the instructor In order to note the
various different vibrations produced
in the body by emitting letters and
word sounds. He then places his
hands in similar positions on his own
body and endeavors to initiate the
sounds. Average deaf and dumb chill
dren are taught, by the oral method,
to speak and write connected and often
intricate sentences in sixteen months
time. They have. in fact, learned 20
hear with the eyes. Pupils in the
eighth year write elaborate essays aud
read anything on sight, carrying on
a conversation with an entire stranger
with perfect ease. The first man to
teach pure oral speech to deaf mutes
was Samuel Heinecke. of Germany.
