JHE LAND OF THE SOUTHERN
GROSS.
Continued from page one.)

TOrrens system of title registration.
There are no milliOnaires in Aus
traIia. The graded income tax takes
automatic care of that. There are no
land barons (altho land is plentiful at
present; they haven't forgotten that
there are still generations to come,
and to lie provided for) The graded
land tax renders the holding of more
than reasonable amount of land, an
absolute loss. On the other hand,
there are no sweat shops; nor are there
any poorhouses. They have an insti-
tuition somewhat similar to the Amer
lean old soldiers home, to which aged
and crippled workmen may retire if
they so wish, but they call them
benevolent asylums, where the in
mates are treated with kindness and
respect.
Australia isn't exactly a Garden of
Eden without the snake. There are
criminals there as we'll as here, and
there are also individuals who decline
to support themselves, under the most
favorable circumstances. AS the
Australian treatment of both these
problems varies considerably from the
American method, 1 will deal with
them in subsequent paper. 1897.

railroad. There are two classes of
railroad operators; the relay man
and the 90. S. err By the 90.
S. err" I mean the operators who
are found in country stations.
The relay man, one who relays
messages, is generally located at
division headquarters. He is the
man who has been promoted from
an 20. S. or" and is equal in skill
to good "way room" or poor
"quad room" operator of the COM
mercial class. Of course there are
exceptions. l am speaking of the
general average. The salary of a
relay operator is from ffty-ive to
eighty-fve dollars per month, &C.
cording to where employed. The
western roads pay better than the
eastern, and demand higher class
of operators. The go. S. er," the
boy who sits in some little old
stall ion, at some side track twelve
long hours a day, he is the back
bone of the fraternity. He has
the smallest job and the smallest
pay. He receives from thirty to
sixty dollars per month. The
Southern Pacific pays as high as
seventy-fve dollars, minimum, but
by the time an operator has
worked, eaten and slept, in box
car office, on the desert Of Arizona
and New Mexico for a month, he
has earned seventy-fve dollars.
An operator was stationed in one
of these desert Offices once and two
tramps came passing by. Say"

"Well," says the tramp, "don't

"Then just report two empties

started off.
Telegraphy as a trade is not
what it is supposed to be, and my
advice, as is that of others who
have been thru the mill, is to stay
away from it. AS remuneration
it is poor unless you get way up
and that takes years, even if you
are natural born. Ask any stenog-
rapher or other person accus-
toned to using typewriter, what
it means to sit at desk and pound
as fast as possible for eight or ten
straight hours. It's one of the
greatest nerve and eye strains
there is. Telegraphy is fascinat-
ing; and once an operator always
an operator. It tends greatly to
making a person unsettled in
habits. 1t requires day, night, and
Sunday work. An operator is al
ways subject to call at any time.
Most all operators have streak Of
wanderlust and as telegrapby af-
fords the opportunity to move
about, many are rolling stones.
After a young man becomes pro-
ficient, at one place, he wants to
broaden his knowledge and expe-
rience in other felds-and gener-
ally does so. The demand for
operators is good today, as most of
them belong to the union which
prohibits teaching students.

clicking of the instruments inside,
wondering what they were saying?
A great many times, during nay
career as an operator, | have heard
people exclaim, after listening a
few minutes: swell, I don't see
how you can understand that
rattle" An old Irish baggage
master once said to me: Gail you
do is sit there and tick tack, tick
tack, all the day long. It's no
wonder you are booghuse listen
ing to the din Of thin things" So
to those outside the craft, it is
mysterious.
In the small stations on a rail.
road, you will generally see three
sets of Instruments; one set on
the dispatcher's or train wire,
another on the railroad message
wire. and the other on the Western
Union OF commercial wire. The
last two named are known as side
wires, the business handled on
them being principally messages
and reports. The dispatcher's
wire is where all the train orders
are issued. Messages are ham
died upon it, but they must be
very important and for the imme-
date information of the train dis
patcher. Conversation usually
takes the place of messages. 1t is
upon this wire that the operator
does the bulk Of his work. If you
inquire how late train is, he asks
the dispatcher If an engine has
broken down, a wreck or anything
else Of i'm portance occurs, it is the
dispatcher who is notified. In
order that it may be more readily
comprehended how business is
carried on by the dispatcher, and
what that mysterious clicking says,
[ will give brief example,:
Each station has call of one or
two letters, and when the operator
hears his call or signal, he answers
by repeating it back. In the fol-
lowing manner a train order is
issued: dispatcher calls a sta
ton whose call is "Ks." He then
will call another station whose
call is "Mo.") Ks-Ks-Ks-Ds.
iDispatcher's call is ''Ds' and he
makes his own call after calling
the station three times to let it
be known who is calling.) Ks
KS. Operator answers, [ ks.
Dispatcher says, 3l-copy-3, and
goes on calling the other station.

Then before beginning the body of
the order, he makes period. mo
six eng (engine) 1856 will run
thirty 30 Minis (minutes) late Demon
to Brush, and signs the initials of
the superintendent. After hav-
ing received such an order, each
operator copying it repeats it back
to avoid any mistake.
The system explained is called
the "double-order system" and is
used by all first-class roads in the
country. A "3l order is a form
that the conductor does sign; "l9
order" is form the conductor
does not sign, used because it is
not necessary to stop train in
delivering it, handing it on with
hoops instead. These hoops are
very dangerous for this reason:
In order to hand on an order
placed in hoop, the operator is
compelled to stand within two feet
of the train, generally running at

TELEGRAPHY.

press operators head the list, being
the most skilful. They are the
acma of telegraphy and can work
most any kind of wire. To be a
press operator, one must have
years of experience. They work
very fast, and a shorthand code,
called the "Phillips Code," has
been devised, consisting of abbre-
viations, such as ''scotus," meaning
Supreme Court of the United
States;' "gx," great excitement;
"cnx," committed suicide, etc.
The operator only hears the abbre-
Walton, but must write the word or
words in full, as you read them in
the newspapers. A press operator
is judged by the copy he makes.
Every thing is copied with type
writer, a typewriter is called
"mlll."
Next comes the broker operator
who you see marking stock quo
tations on big black boards in
broker Offices. Of all jobs, broker
jobs are the most preferred; but
in some places an operator does
something besides telegraph. We
will say that copper is selling at
so. A customer buys at that price.
1t rises to 81. The operator, who
hears it come over the wire, fails
to mark the raise on the board.
It rises to 50; the operator marks
it 81. 1t rises to SO; the operator
marks it up SO. 1t rises to 81 and
the operator marks up So When
the customer sees SO marked on
the board, he says, "sell." So it
is sold at So for the customer.
Who gets the point So to 81? Oh,
few more points gained like that
and Mr.. Broker has a new :'auto.".
An operator who does that kind
of work usually gets twenty or
twenty five dollars week bonus.
A broker operator, one with a
square" firm, works less hours
per day, receives as high wages as
paid the craft and is not over
worked. The only drawback is,
the firm might 60 broke, then it is
hunt another job. The pay of a
broker operator is equivalent to
that of press operator, from
twenty to forty dollars per week.
Race track and pool room teleg-
raphers rank with broker operat-
ors. Their jobs are never sure,
however, but they receive better
wages, some as high as ten dollars
per day.
After the broker operators come
the commercial men. OF these
there are three classes. The bonus
man leads. By "bonus man" l
mean an operator who works the
heavy thru wires, on which only
messages of ten words or less are
handled. They receive one cent
for each message over three hun
dred handled, in addition to their
regular salary, which is from
seventy five to eighty dollars per
month. In order to make as much
money as possible, these men work
like tigers, making two to four
dollars day bonus.
After the bonus men come the
thru wire, quad room" men,
who work the thru wires on which
there is not business enough to
make them "bonus." They make
from sixty to seventy five dollars
per month and are considered
frst-cl men.
Then comes the way room oper-
ators. They are mostly women or
young men, who have not a great
deal of experience, and they work
the short local wires. which run to

WELCOME TEAM WITH BAND.

To the music of the band the Brown
les were welcomed home this morning
at 2 o'clock by a crowd OF base ball
enthusiasts, who were so overjoyed by
the victories won by the team that
they could not resist a chance to give
vent to their feelings. The band went
to the union station in the patrol wa
gon. After taking the players to their
various stopping places the band went
to the residence of President l.. S.
Peckham and later to the home of
Mayor o. l.. Ingledue, playing at both
places.
Base ball interest has never been so
awakened in this city this season as it
has been during the past few days. The
extraordinary success which has
marked the tour of the southern cir
cult by the team has been calculated to
arouse the old spirit which gives prom
Use of greatly increasing the attend
ance.
The team has established a record
for winning games away from home
that has not been equalled by another
club of the league this season. OF the
fourteen games played it won ten of
them 1t beat Oskaloosa three straight,
won two out of four from Ottumwa,
took two of the three from Keokuk.
and beat Burlington three out of four.
Umpire Fuller came with the team,
and will work here during the week.
Tomorrow Keokuk comes here for a
series of three games, and after it Os-
kaloosa plays here on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.

Standing Of the Clubs.
To Keep Teachers From Lovinu.

A Mahony City. Pa, telegram says:
Dan Cupid, aided and abetted by the
Merry Maiden club of Ringtown, whose
cardinal principal forbids member
from keeping company with a person
of the opposite sex merely as a f1irta-
ton, unless he declares his intentions
in favor of matrimony, has played ha-
voc among the schoolma 'ams Of East
Union township. Three of them were
married during the term just ended,
but kept their marriage secret until
the closing day of school. Six others
are to become brides during the sum-
mer and in consequence have applied
for reappointment as teachers.
In this dilemma the board of educa-
ton in. East Union township is at it's
wits end to find teachers to take their
places. Tonight was the date fixed for
the annual election of teachers. but the
applications were so few that the board
instead of holding an election, drew up
new rules designed to keep teachers
when once engaged. Besides signing
contracts pledging themselves not to
marry during the school term app1i-
cants must not join the Merry Maiden
club. K
