SOME NEW TELEPHONE IDEAS.
There will Be a Big Consolidation Of lnde
pendent Lines.

1t has been given out that pre-
liminary inspection is being made
Of the telephone systems independ-
ent of the Bell lines. 1t is proposed
to organize a central operating long
distance company of them. There
is S12, 500, 900 invested i'll this man
ner, and the lines are all to be
united under one company, capita
lized at ffrst at $50, 900, 900, then
later at 5000, ooo, 900.
1t is not generally known, but
there are more independent tele-
phones in existence in the United
States than Bell phones. There
are 2,5oo,oo independent tele-
phones in use, to 1000, 900 Bell
telephones. The purpose of the in
spection is to form consolidation OF
these Independent companies, so
far as the long-distance end of the
business is concerned.
The above is an idea advanced
some time ago, by Senator Kline,
who is vice president of the Con-
solidated Telephone Company, Of
this State. The system 10 be adopt
ed is to have an exclusive line f r
long distance talking without being
annoyed with the different ex-
changes on the route.
This system will also apply to
near by cities, giving the right to
person to talk to Philadelphia
direct, without disturbing the ex-
changes at either Mauch Chunk or
Allentown on the line. 1t is a sys-
tenn that the business man has long
looked for, as it will save him many
vexatious delays aud annoyance.
In speaking of the automatic
system of the Consolidated, which
is supposed to do away with the
telephone girls, Senator Kline said
that there was not much in that
rumor for it would be almost i'm
possible to dispense with the girls
IN the different exchanges. Even if
the Automatic system would prove
all right, it would be necessary to
have the girls employed in some
capacity around the exchanges.
The automatic system is thing
hat is only being experimental
With yet, and no person can now
ell with what results it can be
operated. He intimated that tele-
phone companies will be continually
presented with new devices for the
oetterment of the service, and that
When a company finds out that
which will most benefit in that
lirection, they are apt to adopt it.
AT present." he said, eve are
crying to make more perfect our
,ystem in this city, as it is not salts
actory to ourselves or patrons, and
hat we expect to have done as
Don as possible"

1.-The Sign of the Cross a play
that has held its own in spite of the
fight of time, and which has drawn
to the playhouse not only the per-
sons usually to be found in a theatre
but priests, clergymen and non
theatre goers of every denomina-
ton, will be the attraction at the
Grand Opera House on Thursday
evening, Sept 81. The play is
unique because it deals successfully
with a religious subject and at the
same time tells story that is SO
thrilling, SO full of heart interest
and intense human passions that it
appeals to all lovers of a sensational
and spectacular stage presentation.
The company that will be seen in
this city is very superior organi-
zation and is under the manage
ment of N. c. Wagner.

The Massachusetts, Committee of
One Hundred on reciprocal trade,
which is composed of many promi-
nent Republicans, has issued call
to Republican voters to join with
them to obtain the adoption of a
plank in the platform of the coming
Republican State convention, favor
ing a revision of the tariff. Repu-
blican voters are asked to forward
petition to the convention to in-
sert the following in the platform
We demand that hides, coal,
iron ore, lumber and wood pulp | e
placed by Congress on the free list,
and that duties upon manufactured
and other articles be reduced
wherever existing duties are higher
than are needed for any just pur-
pose of protection"
The committee declares that the
extreme protectionist interests have
so far influenced the machine" of
the Republican party o. the State
that it does not intend to have eX-
preston given to the tariff revision
sentiment, but, instead, to suppress
at the convention any genuine de-
claration in favor of it and to nomi-
nate one or more candidates known
to be hostile to the policy.
Republicans are urged to nomi-
nate candidates who favor tariff
changes and closer trade relations
with Canada and Newfoundland.

The sinking Of Admiral Togo's
battleship, the Mikasa, and the loss
of six hundred of her gallant sailors
is one of those strange chances OF
fortune that no one can account for.
After going through the greatest
naval engagements of modern times,
practically unscathed, the boat was
sunk in peaceful harbor by an
explosion in her own magazine.

law, when an election has resulted
in favor of prohibition the issue
cannot be raised again for two
years. Under the Jayne bill wheth-
-er an election results for or against
prohibition, no other election can
be held for two years.
Section IA of the local option law
is repealed in accordance with the
plan of precinct local option.
Section Is of the original law is
SO amended by the Jayne bill that
even after precinct hasvoted in
favor ofprohibition, it does not be-
come operative until the county has
refunded ''to any person thereto
engaged in the sale Of liquor the
prortionate amount of license fees
paid by him for the unexpired term.
Section II of the original law
made it athe special duty of the
district attorney to file or have
filed complaint" In all cases where
the law is violated. With a Just
appreciation of the embarrassment
which this provision may cause a
district attorney, and an evident
desireto take such responsibility
from his shoulders, the Jayne bill
amends this section so thatthe dis
trict attorney is obliged to file conn
plant only "when there is proba-
BILE cause to believe" that the law
is being violated, and when the
"same is made to appear by the
affidavit of some person who pur-
ports to know the fact" =
Section Is of the local option law
Is as follows:
In all prosecutions under this
act, by Indictment or otherwise, it
shall not be necessary to state the
kind of liquor sold, nor to describe
the place where sold; nor to show
the knowledge of the principal, to
convict for the acts of an agent or
servant; and in all cases the persons
to whom intoxicating liquors shall
be sold in violation Of this actshall
be competent witnesses. The issue
Of a license or internal revenue spe-
cial tax stamp by the government
to any person for the sale of intox-
icating liquors shall be prima facie
evidence that such person is selling,
exchanging or giving away intoxi-
eating liquors.
This section is amended by the
Jayne bill 50 as 50 read.
In all prosecutions under this
act, by indictment or otherwise,
the offense charged. shall be stated
with the same particularly that is
required in the case of other often
ses against the criminal law Of this
state, and in all cases the person to
whom Intoxicating liquors shall be
sold in violation of this act shall
be a competent witness"
Section 20 of the Jayne bill is
designed to give the counties and
precincts that went "dry" last Mo-
vember chance to try out the
question again. If 10 per cent of
the voters are dissatisfied with pro-
hibition and sign a petition calling
for an election, the question shall
be resubmitted in the June election,
1906.

BY The WAY.

General Manager Leroy Trice is
building new barn, and it is going to
be about the SWEETEST thing in that line
in the city. They do say that the
building of three very handsome barns
all in bunch in that neighborhood is
largely the result of lively and good
natured rivalry. When Frank HUFF
smith built his elegant home he also
built barn that made his neighbors
turn green with envy. Mayor Bowers
said: "You just wait till build, and
Hufsmith's barn will look like a side
show to the big circus" He built, and
he did build a bigger and handsomer
barn than Hufsmith. Then Mr.. Trice,
looking over his back fence, scratched
his head, and with that bland smile
that always illumines his features when
he makes up his mind to do a thing,
said: swell, those barns are pretty
nice, but / shall build one that will
over shadow BOTH" He's building the
barn, and it is going to be much hand
somer than many of our handsome
homes; and quite as expensive.
"Say, you Herald man, you have had
so much to say about the good street
work being done in Palestine, tell me
why Magnolia, Sycamore, and one or
two other main streets, and hitherto
good drives, are being SO neglected."
asked citizen today. "Why Sycs-
more street, the most popular drive
way in Palestine, is lot of holes from
one end to the other. 1t is in worse
shape than it has been at any time the
past five years. People driving have
to go in walk, and then they are La
BILE to run into hole and get their
necks broken" Perhaps this citizen
exsggerates little, but that street is in
pretty bad shape, and should be fixed.
