A THIRD OF A CENTURY
 ELECTRIC DEVELOPMENT
Marvellous Growth in Use of Invention
 Less Than a Generation Old.

New York, April 15. Special Cores pondent Of The Republican.-The tele- phone is so much an accepted part of the daily life of most Americans that it is almost impossible for them to 0e- lieve that in it's commercial use # has only just reached the thirty-year mark Yet this is the fact to which President Vail of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company calls attention in the annual report of his company which has just been issued. There probably never has been another case in the history of the world in which an invention revolutionizing in so many ways the existing methods of doing
 business has been brought into prac- ticaIly universal use within such a brief period of time. Derided in the beginning as an interesting scientific toy" which never would be of any practical use, the telephone has reach ed a point today where it is an es- sentia adjunct of every business office
 and it is rapidly coming to be consid- cred equally important alike to the farmer and the city resident. It has given rise to the greatest public utility corporation in the world as well as to hundreds of smaller concerns. gives employment directly and indirectly to hundreds of thousands of persons and yields a volume of business amounting
 to more than two hundred million dol lars a year.
 It is noteworthy that the most rapid
 progress of the telephone has been ir the United States This may be due
 partly to the fact that Alexander Gra-
 ham Bell. it's inventor. was citizen
 of this country. A more important ip- flucnce has geen that with his we'll

THf HOUSE RESENTS
 0STENT ATIOUS DISPLAY
A Feature of Discussion Of Diplomatic and Consular Bill.

Washington, April lS.-Sharp criti- cism of lavish entertaining by rich American diplomatists in order to ob- tain social standing abroad was heard in the house today in the course of the consideration of the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. The occu- patton of Dorchester house in London by Ambassador Whitelaw Reid, and a similar display of wealth in Berlin by Ambassador Tower were particu- larly emphasized in that connection. As one of the means of counteracting the effect of ostentation, it is urged by many that America should own lega- tion buildings.' The charge that Elm peror William based his objections to Dr. Hill as ambassador to Berlin was solely on account of that gentleman's lack of fortune, was repeated by MT. Longworth.
 Mir Harrison of New York was par ticularly severe in his criticism of Am basador White at Paris, and the first secretary of the embassy at London, John Ridgley Carter He described White as a dinner table or dietetic diplomat"
 He accused him of violating an ex- press statute by frequently appearing in court costume. As to Carter, he pictured him as strolling through the drawing rooms of London and com pared with with white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland" Harrison also ac- cused Secretary Root of being led by Great Britain in matters pertaining to the Congo Free State in attacking King Leopold.
 The diplomatic bill was passed un- der a suspension of the rules. It car ries an aggregate of $3,520.2S3.
 After having been in continuous ses- sion since April 6 by .resorting to the process recssing from day to day. the house at 6:15 p. m. adjourned until F o'clock tomorrow when eulogies will be delivered for the late representative George Smith of Illinois.

Kind Sir:-If you will allow me a
small space in your valuable paper
to express few thoughts | will feel
very grateful to you. Some Of my
thoughts here presented were born In
my mind last Sunday while witness
rell.
There in my view lay the likeless
remains of noble, manly form Of
one whom we all SO recently hailed
in our midst. No sex is spared, no
age exempt. The majestic and court
ly roads which monarchs pass over,
the way that the men of letters tread,
the paths that the warrior traverses,
the short and simple annals of the
poor all lead to the same place, all
terminate however varied in their
routes. in that one enormous home
which is appointed for all living.
Death comes equally to us all and
makes us all equal when it comes.
The funeral eulogy pronounced by
Rev. Charles Douglas was certainly
fitting tribute.
And especially do l wish to repeat
these most beautiful remarks: "A
Christians dying day will be his rest
ing day, when he shall rest from all
sin and care and trouble. His reap
ing day, when he shall reap the fruit
he has sown in tears and faith. His
conquering day, when he shall tri.
umph over every enemy. and even
death itself shall die" His words
were food for the Christian soul.

In the three Prohibition states named the
erage is one liquor dealer for e0ery 42s of bobnla
ton, and in nineteen license states named the
average is one liquor dealer for every Gil of
population. according to these figures, If Ken
lucky should become Prohibition state there
avonld be liquor dealer for every 346 of bobnla-
ton instead of one for every 494 of population,
under the license system. The same lac of
proportion a0onld increase the death rate (from
alcohohsm) from 1.6s to 2.4S for every 100000 of
population if Prohibition should be adopted in
Kentucky. The governments census reports
shoe that in the license states of Alabama, In
diana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon,
Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia the death rate
from alcoholism decreased thirty four percent in
the ta0eny years prior to 1900. The same reports
shoav that in the same period of time the death
rate from alcoholism in the Prohibition states in
creased ffty-tltree percent 1t is clear that not
only is the number Of liquor dealers increased
under Prohibition, but that the fatal inebriety is
also increased.

Frankness would demand of him the further adj
mission that there is no such thing as lac
abiding saloon; that the liquor traffics violation
of reguatve legislation is the most notorious fact
of American life. Candor would still further de-
mand the admission that, were every regulative
provision of the most careful license law ever
enacted scrupulously observed there would be
left abundant opportunity for the creation of the
drink appetite and habit, for the debauchery of
character, the dissipation of wealth and the ruin
of homes-those things that go to make up "hu-
