NEW TELEPHONE SCHEME
Remote Localities Get In Touch With
Outside World


Under new plan for rural tele-
phone service proposed by the New
England Telephone and Telegraph Co.
owners OF farms, country homes OF
city business people, clubs, camps,
stores, etc, In places having popula-
ton Of 10000 or less, can have tele-
phone connections with the general
system of New England at very moder
ate cost. The principal features of
this plan are the construction of 10.
cal lines by subscribers themselves
and connection with the nearest CEN
trail office OF the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company which
makes a charge of IS cents per month
for residences and 10 cents per month
for places of business, to cover the
cost Of operating. The subscribers
get unlimited communications with
all the subscribers OF the exchange,
with which they are connected and
access to the toll lines covering all
New England and the eastern part OF
the United States.
This arrangement Is OF peculiar ad-
vantage to subscribers for this class
of service. Half dozen or more
neighbors may club together, cut their
own poles, do their own work Of con-
struction, buying only wire, glass in
sulators and brackets, purchase their
instruments outright or lease them
from the company II preferred. This
plan enables residents Of localities too
remote for remunerative development
by the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company to obtain tele-
phone service as good as that Of near
by towns and cities. and at moderate
cost.

ORIGINAL DECISION STANDS
Suit Against Or. n. D. Holton Of Brat.
tIeboro Settled

Brattleboro, June 25.-Announce-
ment was made yesterday afternoon
of the settlement of the suit Of Mrs.
Mary Blakeslee Emerson against DR..
Henry ID. Holton which has been in
litigation between five and six years.
Doctor Holton was appointed trustee
of an estate which DR.. Caleb S.
Blakeslee left to his daughter twenty
years ago. When she became of age,
some six years ago, Doctor Holton was
ready to turn the estate over to her,
but she was dissatisfied with some Of
the accounts although the estate had
been largely increased and litigation
was begun to make Doctor Holton re-
sponsible for certain losses.
The probate court decided in favor
OF Doctor Holton and the settlement
after more than five years of litigation
| is just as was decreed by the probate
court In the beginning In addition
Mrs. Emerson, formerly Miss Blakes.
lee, pays all of Doctor Holtcn's coun-
sci fees, the court fee, and Doctor
IIolton's charges as trustee during the
time the case has been in ne courts,
as we'll as before.
The estate amounted to about $751;
900 when 1t went into Doctor Holton's
hands. Doctor Holton increased II to
over $4,000 not counting the cost of
supporting Miss Blakeslee. Except
for that cost and the taxes and o,nO,
expenses the estate would have
amounted to about $4,000 c. c. Fits

SAVED AT
ST. NINNIFRED
HOSPITAL
(San Francisco Bulletin)

The physicians in Honolulu could
do nothing for U. s. Deputy Marshal
Winters and he gave them up In des-
pair and came to San Francisco TO
see II there was any physician here
who could cure an extreme case Of
chronic Bright's disease. He had had
two uraemic commissions, was almost
bursting with dropsy. and after fight
ing the disease for two years was at
the end of the way. The first ply
stefan he consulted in this city told
him that chronic Nephritis is now a
durable disease and that he would
probably recover. He sent the pat
lent to st. Winifred hospital, put him
on the new treatment for Bright's dis
ease and proceeded to aid 1t in many
ways that the skilled practitioner
understands. In four months Win
tiers went back to the islands perfect
ly well-San Francisco Bulletin.
We sent for the treatment given

fired hospital with such remarkable
results and have 1t In stock for pat

and Diabetes are now durable. Call
