BUILDERS OF BUSINESS
Bright Prospects in Telephone DeveIope
ment on the Peninsula

Down in the bowels of the earth men
strong of arm are mining metals that un-
der the def hands of skilled artizans will
in few months be transformed into de-
vices that are conducive to the comfort
and happiness of mankind Leading all
OF these stands the telephone.
So great is the increase in the number
of telephones installed that while the
manufacturers of telephone instruments
have been working day and night for a
year they are away behind in their or
ders and all the telephone companies of
the country have placed their orders for
next year. The Diamond State Tele-
phone Company, anticipating a great
increase in their business during
1906 have placed with manufacturers large
orders for instruments and material in
order to meet the requirements of the de-
velopement of the telephone service of
the Peninsula. Notwithstanding this
fore-sightness on the part of the Diamond
State Telephone Co. they are compelled to
ask their patrons to favor them by placing
orders for new telephones as far in ad-
vance OF the time they wish them in
stalled as possible. The company wishes
to extend every courtesy within its power
to its customers who are helping make
the telephone system of the Delaware,
Maryland-Virginia a universal bond
between all within the confines of this
territory and of communication with the
world.

GALL THE WORLD LOVES A LOVER"

When the little god of love Dan Cupid
starts to consumate one OF his webs to
unite fond hearts, he is sure to succeed,
but on some occasions he has allies and
in the latest one he called to his aid the
telephone, lawyer and a most obiging
official OF the courts of Cecil County,
Maryland. This was an invincible quar-
tette and overcame all obstacles The
story runneth thus: Miss Helena c..
Blome, one of Middletown's most charm
ing maidens and Mr.. B. F. Lamborn had
pIighted their throth and made arrange
ments for the wedding to take place at
an early hour on Thursday morning.
Father Crowley, rector of St. Francis
Xavier Church was to perform the cere-
mony and all looked plain sailing until
the legal ghost, state license issued by
tie Maryland courts bobbed up and cast
a seeming bulwark between the lovers
and matrimony. This discovery was
made at 1920 P. NJ, Wednesday night,
and Elkton seventeen miles away Then
there was hustling for cover and license
The bridegroom Mrs. B. F. Lam
born was in the slough OF despondancy
until he met his friend Capt. Alfred Col
Inns of the Diamond State Telephone Co.
To him he told his tale of troubles and
asked for solution. "That's easy" quoth
the genial Capt, 'just use the telephone"
and he did. A. c. Crothers, Esq, of Elk
ton, was called over the lines OF the Dia-
mond State Telephone and informed the
anxious-to-be-wedded that in order to be
married in Maryland at the break -ofday
on Thursday license must be secured.
Then it was over the bills of Cecil to Elk
ton ana at the hour when ghosts walk,
the anxious to-be-a-benedict and his
friend arrived in the silent old town.
After securing the services of the police
force, one, the residence of Manly Dren-
men, clerk OF the courts, was found and
that courteous official readily consented to
visit his office and issue the precious doc
ument and at 30 A, NJ. it was secured
and at four the bridegroom was in Middle
town and all was ready for the wedding
bells without danger OF discordant notes
of legal objections and they rang out
ioyfully in the historic church of St.
Francis Navier at o'clock in the morn
ing of Thursday, and cupid and his con-
federates, telephones and friends had
scored another victory. 1t is ever thus.

BOOK BY MINNEAPOLIS TEACH
-ERS.-Miss Elizabeth Williams, princi-
pal of the Holmes school, and Miss Mary
L. Gilman, principal Of Clay school, both
of this city, are the joint authors Of a
little book on Seat Work and Industrial
Occupations for primary grades. AS a
specimen of typographical work the book
is well-nigh ideal, while from a pedagog-
ical standpoint it would be difficult to
imagine anything that could better fill
the use for which it is intended.
Paper-folding, strip-work and paper
cutting, poster work, sand table and clay
work are some Of the more important
subjects touched upon, and these are
treated in such a way as to be very plain
to the teacher desiring to use them. The
book is profusely illustrated with draw
ings, and some colored plates that are
very attractive. The aim of the authors
is embraced in the sentence culled from
the Suggestions to Teachers which
serves the purpose Of a preface. It says:
The work outlined above, being legitimate
school work, should have definite place on the
program, as it furnishes a motive for reading,
writing, spelling language and Misunderstanding
the three RS tools in the child's education, as
they ought to be, rather than ends in them
selves.
The illustrative drawings and cuttings
used t1ruout the book are credited by
the authors to Mrs. Fannie M. Jones, late
principal Of Laurel school.

DR.. Halls Incinerator Plans.

Health Commissioner Hall appears
to have given up the fight for CEN
trally located garbage incinerator and
to have fallen back on the use of, a
railroad to overcome the disadvantage
Of the long haul. Perhaps the compro-
mise is the best he could get out of the
state of public opinion which will not
tolerate an incinerator downtown. That
that opinion is mistaken one is Of no
particular moment so long as it exists
in strenuous form and injunctions are
get-at-able. Other cities maintain their
incinerators within a stones throw of
public buildings =, and nobody is the
worse or the wiser.
r Under the absurd necessity of&haul-
ing garbage by team the full length
Of the city: the commissioner of health
makes good showing for the money
expended. With larger incinerator,
and the use Of cars to convey. the ma
terial a much better showing can be
made and Minneapolis needs it. The
city is not cleaned up as it should be
and probably no one realizes it more
fully than DR.. Hall. The council
should give him all the support in its
power to make practical any good plan
which will result in more garbage be.
