A PONY TELEPHONE.
The laurnai's System the First OF Its Kind in
the City.

The Journal has Recently installed in
its new building 4 system Of interior tel
ephone service which Is it is believed
the first system Of the kind to be intro
duced into The city. 1t is known as the
Pony telephone. ana its object is to form
a means Of communication between the
different departments and thus do away
with the old-fashioned system of speak
ing tubes and whistles. by the Journals
system any two departments can commu-
nicate with each other independently,
without being obliged to first call a cen
trail station
The Pony telephone is simple in con-
struction, and though similar in some re-
spects to the Bell instrument. IT has at
the same time an individuality of its
own. The Journal system comprises
eight instruments III eight departments Of
the building, four for desk use ana four
to be attached to walls. The desk instru-
ments are located as follows: In the
counting room, private Office, the cdito-
rial room ana in the room occupied by
the prool-readgr and the night editor.
The wall instruments are located in the
press, job. book ana news departments.
The desk instrumt nj is of nickel and of
the same central appearance as other
desk telephones. The wall instrument is
very simple. being an ebonized wood pan
ell 4xS inches. on which are the bell.
trarsmitter and receiver. 1t occupies but
little sracc, and ia Very neat.

STATE HOUSE.
Plans for the State Muster Are Al
ready Under Way.
Statistics On Weeds Being Obtained by Sec.
McKeen-CapitoI Notes.

Adjutant General Richards is now
making plans for the State muster late
in the summer. As yet the plans have
not progressed far enough to be an
nounced. Last year, the usual en-
campment was not held. There are
hundreds of details regarding the work
that must be attended to and it IS
these details that make the duties Of
the office so onerous. In addition to
this come the countless calls from the
men in the National Guard for advice
or assistance in personal matters
which is in no way connected with the
militia. but since General Richards
has always followed out his early mill
tary teachings that his army is not
well provided for until the men are
looked after he gives the same careful
attention to the matters that he gives
to all the detail of the work. And it is
this carefulness in addition to their
high regard for his executive abili Y
that give the men in the National
Guard their admiration for him.
While speaking of the new flags
which have been ordered for the 1st
Infantry, General Richards said that
new flags would not be ordered for
the End Regiment. When the 1st Ragi-
ment went to Chickamauga the flags
became the property of the govern
ment and therefore that regiment IS
without flags. Those of the End In
tantry are i'll good condition, having
been bought a short time ago so that
there is no necessity for new flags.
