SERMONS BY TELEPHONE.
Church Services Enjoyed by Hospital
Patients by Wire-New Sys-
tenn Proposed.

Many attempts have been made, both
in England and America, to utilize the
telephone for bringing to the ears OF sick
patients those religious services which,
by reason of their inhrmities, they are
unable personally to attend. In the
majority of cases these attempts have
been absolute failures. though isolated
instances in which single individuals
have enjoyed an occasional hymn or
brief sermon by phone are not unknown,
says London Tit-Bits.
Now. however, a clergyman, Dr. Rus
sell H. Conwen. of Grace Baptist Temple,
Philadelphia, has evolved a plan where
BY the entire Sunday service in his
church will be conveyed to the bedside
Of patients located in the different hos
pitals in the city simultaneously. DR..
Conwen. who is one Of the best known
Of American divines. has cherished the
plan for years, but so many obstacles
have confronted him that it is only with
in the last week or two that he has come
within sight Of success.
In a short conversation which the
writer had with Dr. Conwell. the cleric
stated that his project for conveying
church services to the different hospitals
was still in an experimental stage,
though he had made considerable prog
ress lately towards completing his plans
In order that his voice may be rendered
plain and distinct. Dr. Conwell has had
a large megaphone erected in his pull
pit. and when he breaches his sermons
he viii turn slightly towards this, 50
that his words may enter direct into the
transmitter. In different parts OF the
church smaller megaphones will also
be placed. so that the congregational
singing may be conveyed in a similar
manner over the wires. In the choir
somewhat remote from the organ, there
will be another megaphone. equal il
size to that in the pulpit. which viii b'
arranged as TO catch all the singers
voices.
The various megaphones will be con
nected with a trunk exchange at the diff
ferent hospitals. where from 70 to 1o'
telephones viii transmit the service Il
the bedsides Of the patients. At presen
each patient must be provided with
separate telephone, the receivers o

GLORIOUS "KING DODO."
The Best of the Season, is the Raleigh
Verdict.

king Dodo'' was most enthusiastical-
~ received last night at the Metropolitan
Opera House, and it deserved all the
words of praise it received, for it is per-
haps the best comedy opera seen here this
season, or for many seasons.
The production was on an elaborate
scale, the scenery, even on the small stage,
being well handel. The costumes were
rich and beautiful, and the ladies OF the
we'll trained chorus who disported and
danced about gracefully in all kinds OF
gorgeous raiment, from long skirts to
tights, were shapely and pleasing to the
eye The electric effects on the lovely
costumes made the appearance OF larry
land, and the music was catchy, tuneful
and well rendered.
Richard is at his best as the jolly old
King Dodo," and among the others who
made hits fast ard furious with the aud
fence were Arthur Woolcy as DR.. Fritz,
Charles w Meyers as Nudge, Harry
Davies as Pedro, Maude Williams, the
prima donna. as Piola Isabel. Underwood
az Queen Lii, Daisy Hamlin as Angela,
and Gertrude Barnes as Annette. The ex-
cellent music of the orchestra was an en-
icVed feature.

In the answer of the defendant 1T IS
first admitted that seven shares OF stock

law the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad IS
an integral part of the Seaboard Air Line
and not a separate entity; that the con-
sohdation was done according TO law and
plaintiffs had due notice; that the defend
ants have done no ultra wires act; that
the record books were and ought to be IN
the hands of the Seaboard Air Line at
their office at Portsmouth; that the value
of the plaintiffs holdings have not been
lessened by consolidation: that the charter
of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad was
materially amended by laws of North

amenment was accepted by the stock
holders. Then the answer goes into the
history and law of the consolidation and
alleges that it was lawful.
