Der of cards handled seems to be
steadily on the increase A traveller
now buys a post card of some pic
turesQue locality. inscribes few
words on it, attaches a stamp and
sends it on its way. He saves time
and still gives the ones at home a
comprehensive idea Of his surround
ings. The average traveller has not
time to write letters. He is kept on
the go from morning until night, and
his brain Is usually in too much of a
whirl in the evening to permit re-
capitulation of all that he has seen.
So he resorts to the post card, which
tells it all for him.

FAMOUS EVANGELIST ABOUT
GALL IN. FROM OyERWORK

The following clipping from an Au-
rora Illinois, paper will be of interest
to the readers of The Daily Record:
REV. William A Sunday, the we'll
known baseball evangelist, is to use
one of his preaching expressions,
about all in He has been going at
gait that would kill any ordinary
man, and finally had to give up and
go to his home in Chicago for a few
weeks rest
Five years ago physicians told him
at the present rate he was working
and preaching, he would not last ten
years, and might be shifted out at
any moment He pays no heed to these
warnings and breaches and. exhorts
to the full limit of his physical powers
day after day. Coupled with his re-
gular revival business, Mr.. Sunday has
added chautauqua engagements to his
task, and one day in returning from
lecture at the Oskaloosa chautauqua
grounds his driver ran him over an
embankment into gully, pretty badly
bruising him up. His physician or
dered several days rest in bed, but
Sunday, disregarding this, left the
hotel at midnight that night to make
Aurora, where he had an engagement
the following day.
His last effort at public speaking
was at Medapolis on Tuesday Of last
week. He was then hardly able to be
out of bed. and from the lecture plat
form, he hurried twenty miles over
the country in an automobile to Bur-
lington, where he took a train for
Chicago. He is looking bad, and is
extremely nervous, and it will take
some time for him to recover him

OFFICIAL SANCTION WILL
TIE UP THE TELEGRAPH

New York, Sept. 26.-The New York
local of the Commercial Telegraphers
union voted last night to call out all
leased wire operators employed by
the press and brokers offices In this
city. IL such action shall b. sanctioned
by the national officers. Action by the
national officers will be awaited before
anything further Is done. 1t was
voted also to ask the national officers
to issue a call for the brokers and
press telegraphers throughout the
country to quit work. The demand
upon the men who are now working
under contract is made in the inter-
ests OF those who have struck against

REDUCED NIGHT RATE CALLED
OFF BY TELEPHONE COMPANY

On and after October 1st the night
rate on all long distance calls over the
lines of the Colorado telephone COM
pany will be cancelled and the day
rate charged.
This change is necessary on account
of the practice which has grown up
of making through the day, appoint
ment calls for 6 p. m, when the re-
duced rates take effect. AS people do
not realize that hundreds of others
are doing the same thing, they cannot
understand why their service is de-
layed in many cases for one or two
hours beyond the appointed time.
There is no comparison between the
night rates for telephone and tele-
graph service because telegraph mes
sages are filed at any time for night
transmission upon the agreement that
they are to be sent at the convenience
of the company and are not to be
delivered until the following day. For
immediate transmission and delivery
the telegraph company always charge
the full rate, no matter at what time
of the day or night the message Is
filed. AS telephone messages cannot
be hung on a hook, they are all nee
essarily for immediate delivery, the
telephone company Is in fact, by the
present change. adopting what has al
ways been the telegraph practice.
1t is believed that this change will
take a severe and unnecessary strain
off of the operating force by cutting
out the rush hours and distributing
the traffic more evenly. and for the
same reason, will greatly improve the
efficiency of the service to the general
public.
The Colorado Telephone company is
one of the last telephone organizations
in the United States to abolish the
night rate, as all others have preced-
ed us except the Rocky Mountain Bell,
which takes this step October 1st

and that put difficulties in the way of
redeeming the certificates of indebted
ness as provided under the law.
The law provides that the bonds
must be issued In sums Of $1,000 each
and that they cannot be sold for less
than par. This feature fthe law was
not known before, at least had not
been examined into. The bonds only
bring per cent and according to the
money market of today 1t would be
impossible to sell them at par because
based on any legitimate value. they
are not worth more than 80 cents on
the dollar at the best This leaves
but one thing for the commission to
do an dthis Is to offer to exchange 8
per cent interest bearing bonds with
debtedness at par, in other words to
lift the certificates Of Indebtedness by
exchanging bonds for them.
But there arises this difficulty. The
certificates are for all amounts from
$50 to $1,000. They bear 4 per cent
and their value changes daily by reas-
on OF the increased interest 1t would
be impossible to find a man that held
an even 81 900 OF $4,000 in order that
exchanges could be made. About the
only remaining thing to be done would
be for the holders Of the certificates
to pool their interests, take up the en-
tire bond issue and then divide the
thing among themselves.
The certificates are held by innum-
cradle persons and the chances are
that there would be n regular Den
yer Auditorium" time In getting the
division suitable to all.
At yesterdays meeting all Of these
phases were discussed and another
meeting will be held next Thursday
when some tangible mode Of procedure
will be adopted.
Ha dthe legislature in its wisdom
seen fit to give the commission the
right to issue bonds for any size or
amount 1t deemed best, a good part OF
the difficulty would have been Sur
mounted

MRS, SAYRE TELLS WHEELING
ABOUT The BEAUTIES OF CANON

Mrs. Hardy Sayre. who has been
visiting in the East for some time,
gave the following interesting news
paper interview about Colorado and
Canon City in Wheeling, West Virgin
ia, which was published in the Daily
Register of that city on the 22nd inst.
The Register says:
Mrs. Ida NJ. Sayre, formerly Miss
Meek, of this city, and for the past
twenty-five years a resident OF the
west, is the guest of her mother, Mrs.
Virginia Meek, of South Eoff street.
Mrs. Sayre's home is at Canon City,
Colorado, where she has resided for
a number of years, her husband being
city attorney of that city and man
identified with the important interests
of the San Luis valley, which is one
of the richest and most fertile in the
Silver state.
"For a number of years Mrs. Sayre
lived in California, but last evening
she stated to Register reporter that
there was no state in the west that
had the comforts of life and the adapt
ability for all purposes like that of
Colorado.
Women have equal rights with
men at the polls in Colorado, do they?"
was asked by the Register reporter,
to which Mrs. Sayre answered enthu.
iastically:
Eyes, sir; they do, and l want to
say that there are more women sup
erintendents of schools at the present
time than men, and what is more, both
male and female voters find that they
subserve the best interests of the peo-
pie to a greater degree than did the
men. Women are also clerks of
boards of education and city clerks,
and they have filled these positions
most admirably. In almost every
county in the state there are jail ma
irons and the people are beginning to
realize that women in Office in Color
ado are not a dream, but a reality as
regards the proper discharge of their
duties in the various Offices they hold.
For instance. Mrs. George has for
years been the president of the state
board Of charities. Her home is in
Denver, where some of the finest spec
linens Of womanhood, Intellectually
and progressively, in the United States
reside.
