The other player refused TO raise

1t appears that the women who have
been meeting at the different homes
of New York business men during
the summer for the diversion of cards
had become tired of playing bridge
whist for penny points, and that one
woman who was to be hostess at a
large party won the hearts of her

MUSIC BY TELEPHONE
Reclamation Boys Give Enter
tainment Over Wires.

As we have remarked before, every
thing is news until it is published.
Stanley Marean, of the Reclamation
Service, the first of the week was re-
lating to representative of the STAN
pARp and others how the boys out at
the headquarters entertained their col
leagues some time since. He startedin
by saying that the telephone system OF
the service was the best possible. That
one could lay the receiver down and
hear what was being said in any part OF
the room.
At the headquarters the boys had
graphophone, which they placed on
table and started off with song. Into
the bell they placed the receiver, pre-
viously notifying the employees all over
the reclamation service telephone sys-
tenn, from Fallon to the Truckee Dam,
distance of about sixty miles. At
every station where there was a tele-
phone, Mr.. Marean says, the receiver
was taken down and laid on something
and then all sat around and enjoyed the
entertainment, which consisted OF sew
eral songs and instrumental pieces.
From every station the report came
in that the words and music were
heard as plainly as if the listeners had
been right in the room with the
graphophone.
