TELEPHONE TIDINGs.

Liverpool has tried and abandoned
o penny-in-the-slot telephone service.
London, with three times as big q
population as New York, has only two
thirds the number Of telephones
namely, $4,000.
The first long-distance telephone
cable in this country was that be-
tween Liverpool and Manchester. 1t
was opened in 1880.
Wireless telephony has been invent.
ed by Mr.. Thomas Caldwell, of New
port (Mcnt.), who claims to have had
successful results up TO a distance of
ten miles.
The longest telephone circuit in the
world is that between New York and
Chicago. 1t is $50 miles long. The
longest in Europe connects London
with Marseilles, these places being
| ESQ miles apart.
1t is now possible to ring up" the
nearest railway station from a moving
train, and to telephone, via the station
to any subscriber. An experiment was
conducted successfully on the High

Dear Philip: How you will wonder
at my address. What are you doing

Well, / always make q clean breast

my credit.
About three weeks ago l left Lon

I soon saw that it was impossible for
me to linger in the dominions of his

at a loss to know how to fill in my
time, as l had no desire to return to
England sooner than l had originally
intended. London in March never did
appeal to me as a place Of residence

reasons which make my absence from
the metropolis highly desirable Just

WOLFE IN HIGHEST FAVOR.
This Sheer Material Has Come Back
Into Style-Some Good Ways
Of Trimming.

Wolfe is to be again used for stree
and house gowns, and it will be made
into blouse and coat suits for children.
Braiding is a safe and fashionable
trimming and will be used in the
shades of the material. Don't get the
stiff weaves that used to do duty, but
weaves that lend quite a festival ali
to the soft wide-meshed kind that ia
much prettier. Coronation braid is a
very attractive addition to a simple
frock and can be easily done at home.
One has a design stamped on the fab

lines. On cashmere and wolfe this is
a simple way to get a smart effect.

San Stefano, March

Dear Philip: l have just received
yours of the 22d. You need have no
misgivings. | never take Offense at
what you say. You are the only
preacher whose homilies I can read
without WEAKNESS; besides, under any
other circumstances your warning let.
ter of remonstrance would have been
justified. AS it Is, however, it is IN.
necessary.
Let me begin by telling you that I
am leaving San Stefano this after.
noon. Do you remember my brother
Arthur, in Ceylon, wanted me to go
out there some time ago and help him
in his tea plan tation?
A day or two back l had another
letter from him, renewing the offer
and urging me if l could accept it to
start at once. He says he badly
needs assistance, and the proposals he
makes are most generous. So I'm of
to Genoa to-day to catch the steamar
there.
I can't stay here any longer. l love
her, Philip, honestly and truly, as
have never loved before, and | believe
that she in her innocent heart has
come to care a little for me. Any
how, her mother came to me yester.
day and asked me If my attentions to
her daughter meant anything. Meant
anything! They only meant the
whole amount of pure and unselfish
love that I'm capable of feeling-but
l could not say that. l could not ask
her to allow her daughter to marry
me-could l? You know something
of what my life has been these last
few years. Why, I've hardly a decent
friend in the world ave yourself, and
there is not a single woman of my
acquaintance whom | could bear to
see in the same DON with her.
Even If l could afford to marry,
what sort of a husband should l make
to a sweet child like that? 1t is ter
ribly true saying that n can't touch
mud without some Of it sticking, and
I have dabbled too freely in the mire
to escape being besmirched.
So I'm going away. For once in my
life l shall have the satisfaction Of
knowing that I'm doing the straight
thing. like to think that my devo
ton to her has kindled within me

Colorado Springs, Sept 26.-The
feature of the Pixies Peak celebra-
ton here yesterday was an address
by Vice President Fairbanks. He
said in part:
The name of Lieutenant Zebulon
Montgomery Pike is forever identified
with the spot whereon We stand 1t
is associated therewitn by virtue of
his arduOus work, yet if he had never
penetrated this far a century ago-if
he had never lived-the work he did
would have been done. This region
lay in the pathway of the march of
our western civilization, and even If
greater obstacles had interviewed than
those overcome by him, the indomit-
able pluck, the courage and the firm
determination of our fathers to span
the continent with their habitations
and their power would have accom-
plished in good time all that was
achieved by him. We would not
however, detract from the high char
that is justly due to his memory. He
was but a type of the American
soldier, of whom there have been
many, and of whom there will be
many more. 1t is gratifying fact
that we have always possessed a
wealth of good men, capable of rem
dering and willing to render import.
ant service in every exigency and in
every step of our national progress.
While we pay tribute to those of
courage and genius who have done
great things in the past, we can
match them in the present in all the
high qualities which enable them to
accomplish great and difficult things
Tor American progress and American
civilization.
The pioneers who cast their lot
here came from the Atlantic sea-
board. They came from the middle
west. They were the most progress
sive and selfreliant of nearly every
community in the older sections of
the country. They were of honest
character whom hard conditions could
not discourage or deter They found
in the primitive conditions of the new
territory a stimulus to their purpose.
They had an abiding place in the flu
ture, and confidence in the vast pos
sibilitles that lay in this great west
ern region.
we hear much said of vice and
corruption, much of the subtle
enemies of the state and social order,
but the great heart of the people is
as sound and incorruptible today as
at any hour in all of our matchless
