LoNpoN's POSTAL TELEPHONES.
The New System Will Be Ready for
 Business in a Few Weeks.

From the Kansas City Star.
 London Is soon to have it's own tele- telegraphs, decided to organize a local telephone system. This has now been completed, and 1t is likely to go into operation within the next few weeks
 In a number of respects the new equip ment will be superior to the old. All street wires are carried through under ground ducts, instead of overhead. The postoffce telephone exchanges are pro- vided with automatic signals. That is to say, the subscriber merely has to lift his telephone from its forked nest to signify that he wants to talk. The principal exchange of the new system Is designed phone service. For many years the field has been occupied by private corpora tion, the National Telephone Company but little over three years ago the postoff1ce department, which controls the to take care of 15OoO lines with one switchboard. .s

Chinese ORDER REFORMS
BOARD GETS COMMUNICATION
FROM THRONE.
Tells Them to Follow Good Things in
Old Country and Adopt Good of
Western Nations.

NEW YORK, July PA cable to the
Sun from Picking says: Prince Ching
Ii Hung Chang and Kung Kang, the
three members of the reform board who
are in Peking have received a COM
munication from the court. 1T is under
ten heads. The first directs that the
board shall select subordinates for their
ability, integrity and spotlessness with
out regard to rank or precedent. The
second says the board must rectify
abuses with firmness and moderation.
Others are as follows:
Third. The board must carefully
examine all suggestions and memorials
for reform. Whatever the board APP
proves the throne will command as a
code of laws.
Fourth. Divide the board into COM
mittees, such as those on finance, COM
merce, reduction of the debt, etc.
Fifth. Follow the good things of
the old country and adopt the good of
other countries; also prepare books.
sixth. Make China rich like other
countries. Remove useless eXpendi-
lures, and in order to pay the debt de-
wise new sources of revenue.
Seventh. Stop contrasting new and
old Chinese with foreigners. New Chi
nese ended in the rebellion of Kang
Yu Wei, the old in the Boxer uprising.
Initiate Japan, but not in everything
Copy the Westerners. Their hearts
are all good. Those of the Chinese are
all bad.
Eight Abandon past methods in
recommendation for promotions.
Ninth. Begin promptly to reform
abuses There will be full reform on
the return of the court to Picking
Tenth. Good government depends
on men, not measures. Select good men
and yourselVs act with sincerity and
zeal. Briefly, forget self for the
public"

New York. Sept. l3.-As though he
knew that the time for parting had come
and wished TO hear the sweet tones of
his lifelong companion in the last good
by. Leonard Cordes. a well known mu-
sician, died at his home. No. 321 East
Eighty-eight street, yesterday. while
playing his favorite air. when the
Swallows Homeward Fly" on his favor
ite instrument. the violin.
IL was as he finished the notes OF the
refrain with 'homeward fly" that he
dropped back in bed.
Once leader OF orchestras of promi-
nence and living in comparative luxury.
he spent his last days among his children
and a few of the friends who knew him
in the days before disease no physician
could bsffle had set its mark upon him.
Cordes. until two years ago. when his
throat became paralyzed and he lost his
power of. speech. was one of the best or
chestra violinists hereabouts. For twen-
ty-flve years he had played in the or
chestra OF Harrigsn & Hart, under
Dave" Braham at the old Theatre
Comioue. In Broadway in those OF Pat"
Gilmore and the Metropolitan Opera
House.
But without speech he encountered
difficulties that he had never dreamed of
before and thought could not befall one
OF his standing Gradually his scholars
left him, he could obtain no engagements
and one by one his once near friends for
sock him. He was proud of spirit. and
though often I'm need would not admit
his condition.
When he began to realize the hopeless
ness OF his affliction he worried greatly,
and when about year ago he found him
self with but little TO eat and no money
he resolved to make a sacrifice. He had
long owned two fine violins. one OF a
French and the other OF an Italian make.
He took them from their resting places.
and after trying both. resolved 20 part
with the French instrument.
The proceeds OF the sale kept him un-
I'll his children forced him to allow them
10 provide for him, and he went 10 live
with one OF his daughters. Mrs. Minnie
Mohn. az No. l6o East Tooth street His
strength failed him daily. but he tried 10
conceal II. and would give lesson 20 one
OF his few pupils when he could scarce
ly draw his bow across the strings
His daughter engaged room for him
| at the Eighty-eighth street house about
a week ago, and there he went knowing
that his end was not far of. Shortly af-
ter eight O'Clock yesterday morning he
wrote on a slate used for the purpose
that he wished to play his violin. IL
was handed him. and in the midst of
when the Swallows Homeward Fly" he
died.
His friends and former associates in the
Musical Lodge OF odd Fellows and the
Musical Mutual Protective Union were
saddened by news OF his death. Hasty
meetings. were called. and II was decided
20 attend his funeral as organizations.
There will be many other musicians pres
ent at the services. and some OF the ac-
tors who knew Cordes I'm the old Harri-
gan and Hart days. In the coffin with
him will be buried the violin on which he
played his last farewell.
