It is not known that any of these letters threaten violence. Such letters are received occasionally by Mir.

Mir. Morgan has no fear that any person will offer personal violence and walks freely about his office.

Ezekiel Willis of Geneseo. by his quick wit saved the fife of Devillo Sanders, a professional steeple ciimberfi whose home is in Belmona, Alleghany County N. Y., says n Geneseol dispatch to The New York Journal. p A A few weeks ago thesspire of the Dpis- copal Church in Geneseo was struck by lightning and suffered some damage but a. few feet from the abexs On account of the inaccessiAlity Of the damaged DOT ton the trustees o6f Dthe church and in- suranee cofnpanies were at q loss to es- innate the proper damage sustained whereby a settlement could be effected by the insurance companies. @ al Mir. Sanders arrived in Geneseo with his paraphernalia and proceeded at once to the task for which he had been en- gagged. A large crowd had gathered to witness the hair-raising feat Sanders climbed into the belfry and from there passed out onto the ridge of the roof. where he placed a ladder which reached some distance up from the base of the spire. When. he had reached to the top of the ladder. which was steadied by several men, he passed a slender rope around the steeple and around his body and began 10 work around the steeple steady and at length he reached the dalilY

to the present year the British Govern ment has lost the enormous sum of $40,- 100000 in the management of the tele- graph business. This has become alarm ing, because the loss is continually in- creasing, and last year 1t was 8. 3.000, 900. It is generally conceded that a private company as we have in the United States would do the business far better and make 1t profitable
 Municipal Telephones.
 The actual experience in municipal tele- pfioning up to date has been so unsatis- factory that perhaps the less said about it the better In the English case. that of Tunbridge Wells. the system cost so much and worked so badly that the city was glad to sell 1t to the private com pany. In the case of Glasgow the ac- counts are being severely criticised. First with regard to capital expenditure; At the inquiry in 1897 the telephone engineer em- ployed by the corporation estimated that for an expenditure of s4S9. .165 he could put 5.200 lines in operation. while according to the published accounts, the total exBendl- ture to May 31 was $963 ,465 for a total of 5.O67 working lines, which have been erected at a cost of $190 as against the estimate of 800. With regard to the revenue. stated officially at $40, .S55 for the nine months, in that sum is included the amount paid in advance for telephone ser vices not yet rendered. totaling sum Of $62.0S5, and trunk and telegram fees amounting to $S.290 which were merely collected on behalf of the postoffice, and required to be at once paid over less a small commission for collection. To sum up the conclusion is reached that had the accounts been properly made out. and a reasonable provision charged for depre- ciation, and a fair rent for the use of the street, and also a proportion of the pre- nminary expenses which have been charg- ed to capital. say $12.000 per annuTn. the result would have been very serious loss. probably not less than $35.000 or $40,0 for the nine months. which there is every indication will grow in amount year by year" In ;t%menting on the above facts. The Westminster Gazette. a paper rather friendly than opposed to municipal trading. says, these state ments certainly furnish considerable food for reflection"
