Competition in Telephony,


SHERE is a strong probability Of
telephone competition in New
York before many months. Com
NTNEtaI petition depends on the grant Of
- franchise TO a rival company.
That the situation is viewed with much
alarm by the existing monopoly is EVIL
denced by a reduction OF Tates-a sop to
appease public clamor for reasonable tolls.
Efforts have been made in every legisla-
ture for years back 20 force a reduction
Of tolls in the metropolis, but every effort
failed The i'll win engendered by these
contests leaves telephone customers de-
cidedly sore, and IL their influence could
be brought 10 bear directly on the powers
that be, there would be little delay in
giving the necessary authority to a rival
company.
The new concern is known as the Atlantic
Telephone company. Colonel ]. d. Powers
OF Louisville, Ky, president of the indie
pendent Telephone association. is president
of the new company. which is capitalized
at Sl5,O0OOQO. The company offers 10 pay
the city for its franchise l per cent OF it's
gross earnings for the first year, 2 per
cent of gross the second year and per
cent Of gross for the next twenty-five
years thereafter, and also give the city,
for its different departments, 500 telephones
free OF charge. II is estimated by the
companys officials that the city will re-
ceive under the company's offer not less
than 100000 Rates for marlborough con-
nection will be cents a call and the com
pany will install phones without any guar
antee from the subscriber. 1t also offers
20 furnish unlimited service In residences
for $66 year and unlimited business serv-
fee at 1l0S per year. 1t is said the COM
pany has already made contracts for 75, 900

1t is a common sight I'm Stockholm to

alone and unguarded, like the humblest

dict the banker, a story to the other
extreme is now going the rounds to the
effect that his income is only 5000 a year.
The truth is, says Harpers Weekly that
Mr.. Clevelands income from his invest
ments is between 5000 and $1,000, TO
which he adds an average OF about 50, 900
by writing occasional essays for publica-
ton. He might have acquired a larger
fortune, doubtless, but for the fact that
he would never permit his bankers to buy
or sell stocks on margins. Mr.. Benedict,
however, makes his few investments, and
they are generally wise ones. Some years
ago Mr.. Cleveland had 5000 20 spare, and
Mr. Benedict obtained for him the right
which he availed himself Of, TO subscribe
for the stock OF a projected trust COM

Realized Horrors of War.

In his diary of the campaign OF 1866
the late Emperor Frederick OF Ger
many wrote: ''lt is a shocking thing
to ride over a battlefield, and 1t is
impossible to describe the hideous
mutilations which present themselves,
War IS really something frightful, and
those who create It with stroae OF
the pen, sitting at green cloth table,
little dream what horrors they are con
juring up" Bismarck once expressed
himself to the same effect, and add
ed: Had 1t not been for me there
would have been three great, wars the
less, the lives of 10000 men would
not have been sacrificed, and many
parents, brothers, sisters and widows
would not now be mourners. That.
however, have settled with my
Maker!"
