TELEPHONE, SERVICES.

1t is not generally known that the
telephone service is, as a rule. mu-
nicipal enterprise in the principal
cities of European countries, of pro-
gressive Japan and distant South Afrl-
ca. The ng-distance lines are con-
trolled and operated by the central
governments. while the local systems
are owned by the cities or, in some
cases, are cooperative associations.
Not one city of the United States
has attempted municipal ownership Of
telephone systems: at least none of the
chief cities. Almost every state has
competing companies. Hundreds OF
counties have telephone concerns which
are owned by resident farmers and
merchants. In the principal cities in
dependent companies have been or
ganized by merchants and citizens
thus fostering competition, which has
service. The approach to the co-Opera
tive system has been close. But III
this direction and in experimenting
with public ownership the American
cities and commemorative are decid-
eddy in the rear.
Some interesting information about
telephone systems throughout the
world is furnished by Mr.. ]. F. Hem
enway. who is known among munich
palities as an authority on this sub
jet. He says that Grand Rapids is the
! only city in the United States, which
! has a typical cooperative system.
In England. Scotland, Finland. sNe-
den. Norway. Russia. France, Germany
Holland. Austria, BELGIUM, Greece
! Switzerland and other countries the
governments own and conduct the

! many cities of these countries the mu-

There can be no doubt that Mr..
Hill and his railroad aggregation are
determined to protect he eastern
against the western farmer. In a re-
cent speech before Minnesota farmers
Mr.. Hill declared he felt nearer to the
farmers he was addressing than to
those Of the west.
He has committed himself to the
plan of fostering by vicious and artl-
fetal means Il locality which has no
claim on the business affected, with no
natural advantages by which they
could ever hone to attain it. Such are
his methods of railroading. Redress is
ample and easy. In d similar case, In
which the Great Northern railway was
a defendant. the interstate commerce
commission held against it.
The aggregate manufacturing in
duStrieS on this coast, to be affected by
like railroad determinations. amount
to over $175.00O,0 900. The railroads are
today assailing one of our chief indus
tries under the pretense Of getting
empty cars for the west. Why should
they not 90 farther and assail all OF

begun it will lay bare conditions far

in WASHINGTON than all the local COM

seriously pursued will open farmers
eyes to danger that will inevitably
result in their ruin unless remedied.

DIR. ROSEDALE'S
Fine LECTURE
AT THE FIRST PREBYTERIAN
CHURCH LAST NIGHT.
"CUSTOMS AND SCENES
In Palestine "A Highly Instructive
and Interesting Talk.

A good sized audience was present
last night to hear DIR. James Rose
dale lecture at the First Presbyter-
ian church. The subject of the talk
was e.Customs and Scenes in Pales-
tine, and the speaker gave a highly
instructive and interesting talk. DR..
Rosedale is a native Of Palestine, be
ing born in the city of Jerusalem, and
is greatly interested in the steps now
being taken to make the sterile plains
of the Holy Land fertile and produc-
tive Unlike a great many of the
Hebrew lecturers that have been here
this year, DIR. Rosedale has not the
smallest particle of brogue or accent
in his speech. He is thoroughly FAM
iliar with the English language,
master of diction and his grammar is
always correct.
DR.. Rosedale first spoke of the con-
dition of Palestine, and likened it to
one asleep. Palestine will soon
awaken from this apathetic state and
be as energetic and productive land
as Italy or California, as the fruits
of the Holy Land are among the larg-
est and finest to be found anywhere
on earth.
He told Of the good work now 60
ing on in the matter of irrigation ul-
der the Rothchilds and other fEan~
ciers. He gave vivid descriptions Of
the scenery and general ap, -Sts-'e
Of the land now as compared with
what it was thirty years ago.
The greatest Hebrew virtues are
kndliness, good will and exceedingly
generous hospitality, and several ex-
amples of these great virtues were
given and they were compared with
the state Of the same virtues in
America.
He interspersed his talk with sew
eral amusing anecdotes, and, at the
conclusion, Dr. Rosedale and his
young daughter sang hymns in He
brew, Greek and English, with He
/ brew melodies.
Tomorrow night DIR. Rosedale will
give a lecture, illustrated with spec
ial sterepoticon views at the First M.
f. church, to which all are invited.

IN KNOLLENBERG ANNEX
A Number of Seats Taken But Hun
dreds of Good Ones Still
Remain.

The advance sale Of seats for the
Schumann-Heink concert which be-
CANT at the Knollenberg annex at 7:30
Saturday morning showed conclusive
ly the widespread interest in the com
ing of this great artist. The first
arrival got hold of the door knob at
quarter past 5 and he had plenty Of
company long before the doors open
ed
A most gratifying feature Of the
sale is the large number of orders
from outside Of Richmond. The mu-
sic-lovers of our city have often gone
to some larger place to hear some
great singer, but to have people COM
ing to Richmond from Cincinnati, In
dianapolis and Dayton, as well as
from Muncie, New Castle, Knights
town, Cambridge, Eaton and other
nearby towns, to attend concert is
an unusual state of affairs.
Although the sale on Saturday
was so large, the seating capacity of
the Coliseum is so great that there are
still hundreds of first class seats to be
had, so no one need stay away for
lack of accommodation As a matter
of fact there is not seat in the house
or spot Of standing room either,
from which one can not hear perfect
ly. Madame Schumann-Heink has of
ten sung in auditoriums with a seat
ing capacity three times as great as
that of the Coliseum and no hearer
lost a note Of her marvellous voice.
It IS to be hoped that the house will
be packed to the doors for many rea-
sons. Richmond is already known
for her educational advantages and
the work of her art association and
great audience in the smallest city in
which Madame Schumann-Heink is to
sing in this country would be herald
ed far and wide, and even so great a
singer as she would be surprised by
such an audience to her very best eff
forts
The prices of admission to the va
rious parts of the house have been
put at such a low figure that no Lover
Of music need stay away and those
who have no motive but curiosity to
hear one of the greatest singers that
ever lived should make a point to
attend. And city that has so large
"a German element in its population
as has Richmond ought to give a roy
al welcome to this gloriously gifted
daughter Of the "Fatherland.' IT
ought to be understood. too, that one
does not need a musical education in
oredr to enjoy this recital. She has a
wonderful voice but that is not all
or half for character counts in a
singer as it does every where else.
and Madame-Schuman -Heink not
only captivates the critics with the
perfection of her art, but more per
haps than any singer since Jenny
Lind reaches and thrills the hearts of
the people.
The plat will be found at Nixon's
until the evening of the concert,
