That Railroad Now Figuring
on Private Lines From New
York to Chicago
NEW YORK CENTRAL ALSO
1t is Planned That All Way Stations
Shall Be Connected and Any Agent
May Call up His Department Off
cial for Business onversation-RaiI-
roads Like the Telephone.

New York. Oct. 12.-rhe Erie rail-
road company has invited estimates
from telephone equipment companies
for the cost of installing IL complete
telephone system between Cleveland
and New York. The estimates will
include the cost of necessary copper
wire and the cost OF stringing it. Tho
establishment Of private telephone
service to the general offices in New
York will relieve the overtaxed te!e-
graph service of the road. There will
be branches from the service extend
ing into ALI way stations, and any
agent of the company will be able to
call up his officials at headquarters
and hold personal conversation with
them when occasion demands.
The Erie now has q private tale-
phone connection between It's general
offices in this city and the division
headquarters at Gallon. The service
is not so complete as the new service
will be- because all communication now
is had over the regular telegraph
wires. The new system to New York
will he distinct from the telegraph
service, and strictly telephone wires
will be strung. 1t is planned by the
company to extend the system to Chi
cago on the completion Of the wire to
this city, thus affording free commun-
faction between western and eastern
terminals without delay and incon-
venience of using the public telephone
service.
The latest system to be adopted for
communication between terminals and
way stations Is the New York Central
system. 1t is only within the last
two months that the Vanderbilt road
a complete trunk telephone
line between it's Grand Central station
In New York and the LaSalle street
station in Chicago.

Washington, Oct Brigadier
General Il. S. Dodge, paymaster gen

book should not be sold pledged or

Chart the Drains.
Another feature of engineering work
for farm drainage in which there
should be great Improvement is that Of
maps and records. At A1nes, on the
college farm, the present authorities
have had predecessors who put in quite
extensive amounts Of tile drains with
out leaving accurate plats, SO that in
many places we can not now find even
where the drains were built, to say
nothing of their sizes, grades and
depths In making excavations old
lines Of tile whose very existence was
not suspected are not infrequently en-
countered, and the writer knows OF
places where at least two systems or
tiles in the same locality have been
put in by successive generations Of
authorities.
The same or a worse state Of affairs
must result on individual farms thru
out the state, as times goes by and the
farms change owners. unless the pres-
almost total neglect Of keeping COM
plete records of all the tile drains
built is remedied. Even II the land
does not change owners, mems mem-
cries fail, and the writer has often
noted that even after a very few years
men who actually help build drains are
frequently unable to locate them with
in O. considerable distance. Without
complete maps showing the particulars
of our drains how can we hope to keep
them In working order? The breaking
and choking up Of a single tile might
render many acres Of land worthless
in wet season, and cause enough
damage in a single year to have paid
ten times over for records which would
have enabled the difficulty to be lo-
Gated and remedied at less than ono
dollars exepnse.

THE IMPROVEMENT IN
cHICAGO'S THEATERS.

For the first time since the IroquOis
fire, the theatrical situation in Chicago
may be described as in measure nor
Of remodeling the theaters is not in all
cases finished. but every manager
knows what confronts him and already
has adjusted himself to the conditions.
All the playhouses in the Windy City
have rung up their curtains for the
season Of 1904-05.
They are the safest theaters OF any
city in the world.
It required one of the colossal disas-
ters Of history to bring about the re-
form, but the lesson was at least well
learned. Other cities would do well to
study and gain the benefit OF the ex-
pensively acquired knowledge. Else
tragedy may come and knock at their
own doors.
The building and fitting Of theaters
has been revolutionized by the Iroquois
fire. The idea that hreprbof play
house packed full of inflammable stuff
is safe place for human beings is
shattered. Both audiences and theater
owners appreciate now the perils OF
suffocating gases and raging drafts.
The folly of believing that thin sheet
Of fireproof cloth can protect an au-
dience from hurricane of flame has
been demonstrated. Above all, the abb
solute necessity for perfect fire equip-
ment and fire patrol has been hammer
ed into the heads of managers.
One lead of hose would have saved
nearly 600 lives in the playhouse on
Randolph street, Chicago. But it was
not there.
Today, however, although the stages
and the gridirons above are OF steel, al
though proscenium walls Of brick and
metal curtains stand as protecting barr
riers between spectators and players.
although the theater auditoriums are
built OF iron and marble and thing.
trained firemen stand on guard at front
and rear, ready to lay their hands on
fire fighting appliances.
In every playhouse in the city three
and four exits now are to be found
where there used to be but one. Lights
of the theater lighting sys-
TENS burn over the exits. Gallery oc-
cupants no longer pour down upon per-
sons seeking to leave other parts OF the
house. Separate entrances have been
built for the different sectors Of the
theater.
What more could the most cautious
person ask?
Only one thing, and that is impera-
tive No doubt the attaches of all the
theaters just now are well drilled in
fire tactics. The duty obligatory upon
is to keep them under rigid
discipline today, tomorrow, month
from now, year from now--always.
Ushers drilled in the operation of the
exit doors, drilled to handle crowds,
ought to feel the responsibility of life
savers

Pumpkins and Squash for Hogs.

Pumpkins ana squash Tor T7ogS,
The prominent institute lecturer. Mr..
Theodore Lewis, has the following to
say regarding the use Of pumpkins
aod squash for the feeding OF hogs:
II want to suggest u profitable in
vestment OF Il little labor and still less
cash. Take from a half to Il full acre
of corn filed that lies nearest to the
barn yard, that Is likely to be well sup
piled with manure, and give IT lib
eral dressing OF that material Then
plow 1t under as soon as possible, and
stake off the plat SO that its boundar-
les will be we'll known. When preparing
the corn field, be sure to give this par
ticular piece q specially good harrow
ing. When marking the field for corn,
probably from May 10 to Is, mark this
plat also, one way, but plant no corn
on it. When the field is narrowed, to
kill the sprouting weeds and grass, as
it should be before and after the corn
is up, do not neglect the Implanted por-
ton.
about May 25, If the season is or
dinarily favorable, plant this plat to
squash, but not the hard shell kind, or
to pumpkins or both. Plant eight feet
apart each way, and put In plenty of
seed, SO as to give cut worms or
squash bugs their fill and have plants
left. When the insects have departed
thin the plants to four or five to the
hill, IL the insects did not do the thin
ming. Each time the corn is cultivat-
ed, go thru the squash patch un-
til the vines get too large to allow 1t.
In this way the vines are not injured
by cultivation Of the corn.
IF the season is at all favorable
there will be tons Of squashes and
pumpkins on the ground, and they can
be got at without driving over a large
field to gather them, and will avoid
waiting for them until the corn is ma
tured and cut up. This makes 1t pos
sible to begin feeding them earlier,
and so lengthens the feeding season
OF kind of material that is very
beneficial to hogs as they are changed
from the pastures to the fattening pen
for early market. And nothing better
substitutes the succulence of the sum-
mer during the later feeding period
than the fruits named.
after the feed Of corn, the squash
or pumpkin desert should follow on
the feeding floor. They should be cut
few times with sharp spade. SO tho
hogs can make good use Of them. The
quantity Of feed must be regulated by
the effect on the an mails, and that can
be most quickly discovered by watch
ing the excrement. II too much is be-
ing fed the bowels will be too loose
and the excrement will not be Of a
healthy color. These things will sug-
gest a change in quantity Of the suc-
-
ever wisely done, there Will be no
breaking down Of hogs or other pre-
ventable ailments, but there will be a
thrift and growth that will at once
surprise and delight"

Has Arranged For $50, 900 Job
As Belm0nt's Attorney In
Case of Defeat
DIDN'T WANT ToouITJUDeEsHlP
Newark Politician Says This Arrange
ment Was Made Before St. Louis
Between Parker, Belmond, sheehan
and Hill and Was Only Thing That
Induced Parker to Run.

New York, Oct IA few weeks
was made between Judge Alton d.
Parker, August Belmont, w. l.. Shee-
han and David B. Fill to provide for
Judge Parker in case of his defeat as
the democratic nominee for the presi-
dency."
This statement was elaborated upon
News correspondent today by a demo-
cratic politician who is familiar with
every anteconvention move leading up
to Judge Parker's nomination.
The essential points in the bargain.
1t is said, by which Judge Parker wac
induced to resign as chief judge of the
New York court Of appeals have been
sufficiently verified by others to show
that a definite understanding existed
between the present democratic pres
idential nominee and his chief promot-
ers, as named above, whereby Judge
Parker will receives Il salary equal to
that of the president of the United
States, or more than four times the
amount received as presiding judge OF
the court Of appeals.
Judge Parker was strongly opposed
to giving up his place on the bench. He
discussed his position and his feelings
in great detail with Belmont, Sheehan
and HILL Meantime Sheehan had TAX
en- a house near Judge Parker's farm.
1t was Sheehan's business to swing the
Judge into line SO that he would ac-
cept the nomination.
Hill and Belmont were determined to
get control Of the democratic party and
wrest 1t from the Bryan crowd at any
cost. To this end they had set their
hearts on the nomination of Parker.
In reply to their opportunities Judge
Parker would explain that he was
happy and contented. He liked the
law. 1t had been his life's work and his
work as chief judge was con,yenial to
him.
He said he was not n rich man. He
owned Rosemount, his farm, and he
had his family amply protected by his
life insurance, but could not afford to
take the chances involved in resigning
from the bench and the uncertainty of
election to the presidency. But he
emphasized to the trio that sought to
make him a presidential candidate
that the law was to his liking and that
politics was distasteful to him.
It was only few weeks before the
nominating convention that the judge
