How the Chinese Telegraph.

The curious part of the Chinese tele-
graph system is the fact that. even in
the interior. where there are no foreign
ers. all the telegraph blanks are printed
in English. The Chinese language, be-
ing idiographic, having a, character for
each word, it Is impossible to transmit
1t by the ordinary Moose signals. 1t Is,
therefore, necessary TO telegraph either
in foreign language or by using Ara
bic numerals. BY the latter method a
Chinese dictionary is taken and a num-
ber given to each word at all likely to
be used in telegraph dispatch.-Ne

Ten minutes had gone by since the

But the marble statue. glowing white
at the far end OF the room In which
she sat. was no more motionless than
she. Not an eyelash quivered. not O
muscle moved; one could scarce mark
the measure Of her breathing.
But, suddenly, there was change.
she sprang to her feet. and looked
about her like some wild animal who
makes discovery that 1t Is Gagged.
This Is worse than the old life"
she muttered, low-"darker than the
old days"
Up and down the limits of the room
she paced, trying to recover her calm.
II was impossible, and at any moment
some OF the family might return. She
must not meet them now; she must be
aIone--alone to think-aione to realize
this terrible new burden cast upon her
the burden which as yet was a shape
less mass In her brain. but hen formed.
as 1t must be. must inevitably wear the
form of infamy.
With swiftly-flying feet she hurried
up the stairs.
A minute later. wrapped in furs, a
thick veil over her face. she passed out
into the street. Mechanically she di-
rected her steps toward Lafayette
Square.

uIle Old Year.

Farewell Old Year! Thy work is done;
Tomorrow is the New Year sun
Thy ledgers closed, its ba.ance struck,
For business, pleasure or Tor luck.
Time and eternity shall greet
The justice OF thy balance sheet.
Here all that thou hast seen ana known,
All that has from thy seconds foWL-
The good and evil, JOY and grief,
The funeral pail ana bridal wreath;
Thy wars, thy famineS and thy crimes,
Are written in thy fadeless lines
on Aries hills and blood-stained veldt
Thy scourging hand the Beers have felt.
A thousand isles in Orient far
Croan meath the blight of freedoms star,
And thus thy record blots with shame
Our country's honor and her fame.
In China, too, the land of flowers,
The bloody hand hath marked thy hours.
Loathsome thy record here, indeed.
OF hatred dire and hellish deed;
Till VengeanceS swift and fearful hand
Crush d through the Boxers savage
band, x:-.....
And $. Jed from fanatic knife.
The doomed in the internal strife.
In HindoStan thy horrors deep
Must needs have made the angels weep.
And vet thy pages needs must tell
OF human sympathy as we'll.
Whilst millions died with famine sore,
Christmas sent forth abundant store
To prove, as other years have proved,
A million hearts by pity moved.
Farewell, old year, thy seconds bore
Thy millions TO yon distant shore,
Where time Itself shall cease TO be,
Scrolled in one vast eternity
Thy wears are Gods: His finger traced
Thy Cycling Orb in boundless space.
Not mans TO read His deep design,
But now such wisdom is Divine
Farewell. Old Year, for part we must;
I read thy message, Dust TO dust
Thy worl. on earth was bravely done;
Thy course, year. was quickly run.
Into thy cycle thou hast passed
And Times farewell is thine at last.

and moro sensible to make terms and
work together than to continue TO hold
| each other by the throat and fight. AS
| already said. we are not in the secrets or
| the interest of either OF these companies.
| and we are in no sense authorized to
| speak for either, hut i, seems to us a nat
| ural and logical conclusion that the two
1 companies in interest sill see that there
| is no sense in making war upon one an
| other; that the interest of each and of
both are TO be promoted by making terms
| and we believe that sooner or later q
consolidation OF the two cor panies will
| be accomplished. This, We repeat, is a
! logical result OF the late action Of the
Council.
But Tor our part we think that this
would be. so far from public misIor-
tune, public benefit, if not lndeed pub
lie blessing. We see no good bust
ness reason for operating the cars oil two
street railway companies through the
same territory and over the same tracks,
and of cut-throat competition which such
operation must necessarily bring to pass.
we regard Il strcct-car line as a natural
monopoly, at least III city no larger
than Richmond, and we have no strt of
doubt that the public interest aliG the
nuDlic convenience would be scrvca 10y

lines in Richmond and the operation TN
DER one management OF just so macy cars
only as public travel demands. one such
company, owning all the street railway
lines IN this community, would be pros
porous and could AFFORD to give a good
service The company would give the
very best service at the lowest possible
cost, because it would by 50 cu;ng get
The greatest amount Of patronage. II has
been demonstrated beyond a peradven-
ture that in the operation of trusts, So
called, a liberal, progressive policy is
most remunerative. But aside from all
this as we have already pointed out the
City Council still reserves TO itself the
right to make regulations for the street
car lines of Richmond, and the Council
could easily compel the consolidated COM
pany to give the public a tirst-class ser
vice.
To sum up: We say that the logical re-
suit of the action of the Council in COM
polling the two street-car companies to
operate on the same tracks is to bring
about a consolidation of the interests in
volved; and, as for The Times, we say
that the sooner this consolidation comes
the better it will be for the companies
and for the public.
