am asked almost daily why II is that
the NehRa Ska Telephone company does not
allow the different independent companies
in the state to come into Omaha over its
lines and when answer the persons max
ing this inquiry that at this time there are
2l,475 subscribers to independent telephone
companies in Nebraska now getting serv-
ice throughout the territory and TO all
points reached by the lines of the Ne
braska Telephone company and reached by
the lines OF its associate companies they
are very much surprised.
In connection with this matter have to
say that there are over 100 Independent tel
ephone companies in the state of Nebraska
connected directly with our lines and en-
joying all the facilities that our system af-
fords in precisely the same manner that
subscribers of the Nebraska Telephone

The above notice Ito the citizens OF
Plattsmouth" appeared in the Plattsmouth
Daily Post in September, 1898. and speaks
for itself.
Mr. GOnden tells you that independent
telephone competition has never forced the
Nebraska Telephone company to reduce
rates. The Nebraska Telephone company
began giving service IN Plattsmouth for so
cents per month on October /, 1898, and
have continued that rate toT the past seven
years and are today giving service to their
Plattsmouth subscribers al 30 cents per
month There are dozens Of other cases in
this state where independent competition
has had this same effect Let an indie
pendent company enter Omaha and you will
see the Nebraska Telephone company fur
nishing service at any old price. Just as
they do in Lincoln. Topeka, Kansas City.
Minneapolis and hundreds OF other cities
where competition has forced them to cut
rates.

On the Noises the City Man Hears

This is not the complaint Of q querulous
man. But for the sleeper who would
rest In New York the way is hard
especially in these spring days when the
windows are left open.
The catalogue Of noises Just now Is longer
than at any other time, and they make
sleeping at any time Of tho day as hard as
IL Is in the early mornings. Take the after
noon nap for instance. Now II happens
that the interval between 5 and o Is Just
the time selected by the organ grinders
for visiting the blocks In the most resi-
dent ial section Of the city.
The frst noise Of the morning to ears
that are not open TO the street sounds
Is the beating OF rugs IN back yards. This
nuisance Is practically impossible 70 sbate e.

On the Talk of the Baseball Crank

There is every indication that Senators
German and Buckley and their colleagues
on the baseball investigating commission,
which has been appointed to decide the
origin Of the national game, will have their
hands full when they tackle the mass Of
evidence and the crowds Of witnesses next
fall
Those in close touch with the commission
say there Is no doubt that the rules will be
strictly enforced.
Every one who can be sufficiently brief
will be heard. Those who are too long
winded must take warning from the ex-
olusion Of Messrs. spalding and Chadwick
from the debates.
There was talk yesterday to the effect
that Mr.. Chadwick would be represented
at the sessions by W. Bourke Cochran and
that Samuel Untermyer would prepare a
brief for Mr.. SpaldinR, but the mora
were not confrmable. The comm qsion
NAV accept the treatises already wr. ten
by Mr. Chadwick and Mr.. Spalding on base
ball as their respective arguments.
Mr. Spalding has confessed that he had no
personal knowledge Of the game until 1893,
when, as a lad Of 10, he met an Illinois SOL
der who told him about playing II IN camp.
-Four years later he was such a good player
that &c earned SO a week as a grooer's

ton that be would play on one Of the ANA

With a fresh wind blowing from tn o
northwest and all the woods dim with the
earliest infant green, the first oatbird Of
the season sat upon bare crab apple bough
and crooned his softest melody. The song
was not loud in any note, and It was some
times 80 low that the listening ear was
strained 10 catch It, but Il was exquisite
In it's purity and perfection.
II was a love song, pure and simple ,
addressed to the spring heavens and to
the mate that was to be. II was carefree
and unstained with any sordid touch, for
there was only a single mouth to feed and
food was everywhere at hand.
For weeks the flicker had been shrielzing
his Joy, rafting his beak against the dead
trees where worms inhabit and whetting
his imaginary soythe by way Of signal to
his mate. For quite as long the robins
had been vociferous night and morning,
and the commonest sight on suburban
lawns was a bouncing cock robin listening
with bis head on one side and close to the
ground for the uneasy turning Of the worm
beneath.
But the flicker and the robin are not the
true love Wrists Of the spring, for the flicker
makes no real music, and the robin, cheer

New York dealers say that the luxurious

time formed part Of the humble couches
Of immigrants from the region Of the Baltic
Sea.
A considerable part Of the mattress stuff
ing used by manufacturers In New York
consists Of sea grass harvested on the
Shores Of BaTnegat Bay. Following big
storms this variety OF eel grass Is found
uprooted and driven close inshore in large
masses. Men come from az far as Phila-

For q long time tho American grass had

An average OF 80 tons q year is now used

a Philadelphia firm that the grass shipped

The dealer wrote back that heas were foreign
20 the nature Of the grass and received the
reply that there could be no doubt Of that,
since the heas had shown a marked desire
70 exchange their abiding place for the
person Of the buyer.
This incident caused an investigation,

Joe Jefferson as An
Adopted Son Of Yale

INV HAVEN, May iS.-Yale men grad
uated In the last twenty-five years have
counted Joseph Jefferson as q classmAte
until he himself used frequently 10 say that
be was the most graduated man who ever
went out from the university. Long before
Yale conferred on the actor the degree Of
Master OF Arts Mr.. Jefferson considered
himself Yale man by adoption.
His adoption by the New Haven college,
which occurred about a quarter Of q cen
tCny 6e6, came about through Prof. John
+. Weir Of tho Yale art school, Prof. Weir
and Mr.. Jefferson we're friends Of long
standing and when the actor came 10 this
city he always stopped with the professor.
One evening when he was entertaining
Mr.. jefferson Prof. Weir suggested to party
Of Yale professors who also were his guests
that It would be a capital idea n the Yale
undergraduates could have q chance 10
hear the actor speak.
g Mr., Jefferson vetoed the plan at once,
saying that he had never made q speech
Of the kind In his life and that II was out Of
P, the question. The matter was dropped
until the following year, when be came
10 aGain, and then ID was renewed.
The following year he gave a reluctant
consent TO come 20 New Haven on a special
trip TO speak TO old and young Yale. When
he arrived here he went as usual 10 Prof.
Weir's home, where be was TO be entertained
and where dinner party had been arranged
In his honor as usual.
Among the guests were the late Charles
Dudley Warner Of Hartford and William
Winter OF New York. While the dinner
was In progress Mr.. jefferson showed con-
siderable nervousness, and finally conhded
20 his friends that be had had time 10 pre-
pare only the first half Of his speech, and he
was in a state bordering on nervous ool-
lapse through worry az 70 how - Ill IN his
time.
II wan finally, at the suggestion Of one
OF the guests arranged that when Mr..
Jeherson got 10 the end OF his prepared
speech he was 70 give a signal 10 Prof.
Weir and his party and Mr.. Winter and
Mr.. Warner we're 10 begin asking questions
which would keep him occupied until his
time was up. The plan was 90 SUGGEST y
that the following year when Mr.. jefferson
came here the Yale boys insisted upon his
addressing them again, and the custom was
nAugurated which after that the actor
never failed 70 follow.
He would always call attention saoh
time 70 'his class, referring 10 the seniors
then In college and he was an honorary
memher Of every graduating olass from
that Tine until his death

He always had q fund Of stories 70 tell
the Yale men, and between answering their
questions and telling them yarns the half

men had 10 do with his early days on the
stage, whom he was transforming. There

actors was let down through the floor into
. bottomless pit Of fame.
When II came time for the lowering act
the machinery failed TO work and only
the actors legs disappeared. the rest OF
his body remaining In view. SECOND
trial was made, Jefferson repeating his
lines. This also proved unsuccessful, and
when the third trial met with no more
Success the CLIMAX was reached by some
one leaning over the gallery and yelling,

Mr.. Jefferson on his last visit here last
spring told Of bis FIRST meeting With James
@. Blaine. He was playing IN Maine
when he was asked 10 breakfast az which
Mr.. Blaine was 10 be guest. According
10 his story he was as nervous as on the
first evening when he addressed the Yale
men. When called upon after the break
fast TO speak be stumbled through some
sort Of story and sat down.
The next time he met the Maine states-
man was twenty-five years later In WASH
