WILL USE TELEPHONES.
Illinois Central to Substitute System
for TeIegraphy.


B. The decision of the Illinois Central road
to equip it's entire system with a two
wire telephone plant was the talk of To-
cal railroad operating circles yesterday.
A general canvass of the operating Off
Gals disclosed the fact that few of them
were opposed to the telephone as a means
Of train operation, several of them were
enthusiastically in favor of it, and all
glad that the Illinois Central is going to
settle the questions involved by an actu-
al substitution of methods.
In this connection the employment Of
9. H. Gaunt, superintendent of the tele-
graph department of the Northern Pa
cific, to improve the telegraph system of
the Santa Fe, is of interest The Santa
Fe finds its wires badly congested, owing
to greatly increased traffic, and the Off
Gals are confronted with the proposition
of building over 1000 miles of telegraph
line or making the present wires do added
service Upon certain divisions of the
Northern Pacific Mr.. Gaunt has in sue
cessful operation a device of his own,
by which telegraph wires can be used
for telephone purposes, and the telephone
thus used in train operation.
Both Mr.. Gaunt and Third Vice Presi-
dent Kendrick. of the Santa Fe, are firm
believers in the use of the telephone in
train operation.

In order to cooperate from the body of
the house No sooner had Miralles, the
actor, taken his seat in the stalls than
a daring pickpocket robbed him of his
gold watch. Aliralles seized the man
by his coat collar and called out in q
deep bass voice:
"Police. Help. Thieyes.'
The audience, taking this little epi-
sode to be part of the performance,
roared with laughter. Even the police
men joined in without stirring hand or
foot
This is no farce" cried the actor in
tones of despair. 'The fellow has got

The voice sounded SO natural that
the audience broke into loud applause
at .'such excellent fooling." Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his captor and escaped.
