All Companies Arranging to Com

The new rate law has made 1t nee
essary for nearly all the railroads
of the country to double their force
of rate clerks. Every general Office
is securing the country for rate men
and are putting their best men in the
general rate offices. The law will al
make it necessary for the rail
road to increase materially all other
forces except in the soliciting crew.
Altogether, it is said. it will require
Is per cent more men than the gen
eral Offices have heretofore employ
ed. This condition makes good rate
men and other good office men much
in demand. For several years rail
roads have had some difficulty in get
ting the right kind of men for the
most responsible places and for sew
eral years to come really competent
men viii have no trouble in finding
lucrative positions. An official. in
speaking of this said yesterday.

Public Can See How New
Phones Work by Calling at
Starr Piano Rooms.
SWITCHBOARD IN WINDOW
1T is THE DESIRE OF THE HOME
TELEPHONE COMPANY TO LET
CUSTOMERS UNDERSTAND THE
"AUTOMATIC."

The Home Telephone Company
will give a demonstration of the new
automatic telephone system at the
salesroom of the Starr Piano Com
pany on East Main street either to-
day or tomorrow. The system of ten
phones is being placed at different
points in the salesrooms. and as soon
as all the connections are made, the
telephone company will invite the
public to examine them.
Although many people of Rich
mond who use telephones, are ac-
quainted to a more or less degree
with the new system which will be
installed here, they have never seen
it in working order and this is one
reason why the Home" people de-
cided to give it a practical public
demonstration before the entire plant
was installed in this city
The large switchboard which will
accommodate the ten phones has been
placed in the show window. so that
people may see the working system
of the delicate piece of mechanism.
A representative of the Automatic
company is in the city attending to
the installation of the demonstra-
ting plant.

Cleveland, Sept. 19.-Senator Han
mas memory was insulted today in a

TO Secretary Havens of the chamber
of commerce. Witt in his better init
mated it is not fit that a portrait of
General Sherman shall hang upon the
same walls with one of Senator Han
ma, to whom Witt refers as the
greatest corrupter politics that this
country has ever known" Wits let
ter follows:
Il am informed by my first deputy
that several years ago there was pre-
sented to the city an oil painting of
General William Tecumsah Sherman.
Owing to the fact that the city had
at that time no proper place to hang
this painting, my predecessor in Of
flee sent it to your body for safe keep
ing until such time as the city had
proper place to. hang it. The city
at this time is in no better way to
preserve this picture in proper place
than it was at the time it was sent to
you
by this morning paper I notice
that the chamber has suspended from
its walls a picture OF the late Sena-
tor Hanna | therefore request that
you return at once the painting OF
General Sherman, as l do not con-
slider it the proper thing that his
painting should be suspended from
the same walls from which Is now
suspended the portrait of the great
est corrupter of politics that this
country has ever known"
