young girls and was seeking to find
some way Of fording the slushy stream
that lay between them and the side

The young man did grab her, and
she was borne, struggling. across the

Taft later But It Is a safe wager that
neither Of the girls ever will speak t.

pespatchinq Trains by Telephone.

That the telephone Will, In the near
future, supplant the telegraph in the
despatching of trains was the predtc-
ton Of prominent railroad men at q
meeting of the st. Louis Railway Club
in st. Louis the other night. The dis
cussion followed the paper read by Mr.
w. E. Hardness, an expert telephone
engineer of the Western Electric Com
pany, whose able discourse on the SUI
periority Of the telephone for despatch
ing purposes earned the hearty en-
dorsement Of the thirty-five members
Of the Western Division of Superin-
tendents of Telegraph who attended
the convention, and also member OF
the operating officials Of the western
railroads.
To add zest to the meeting, and to
enable Mr. Hardness to demonstrate
his talk, an arrangement Of despatch
ing telephones and selective devices
were erected in the dining room Of the
hotel in which the meeting was held.
Among those present who approved
Of what Mr.. Hardness said we're w.
w. Rider, superintendent of telegraph
Of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy;
G. H. Groce, Of the Illinois Central: G..
S. Rhodes, Big Four: G. A. Cellar,
Pennsylvania Lines; q. H. Mlllington,
Michigan Central and b. III. Chenery
Of the Missouri Pacific.
"A number, of roads, thru practical
operation, have demonstrated the SUI
periority of the telephone over the tele-
graph for despatching purposes, among
these being the New York Central 6.

Santa Fe: Erie Railroad; Virginia
Railway and West Jersey & s5eashore
During the past year the adaptation
of the telephone for despatching pur-
poses has interested operating officials
of every railroad in the country.
The only important difference in
operation between the new method and
the old are that orders are given by
telephone instead Of by telegraph, and
stations are called selectively and dis
tinctively in place of by telegraph code.
Among the reasons put forth by the
adherents of the telephone method, Tor
its superiority over the old method, are
that it greatly reduces both the mental
and physical strain on the operators;
that several stations can now be called
in much less time than was required
by the old way and that in issuing and
repeating orders speed is increased SO
per cent, while at the same time, thru
a careful system of checking, the
chances of an error are greatly re-
duced. Again, when an error is; discov-
cred, it can be much more quickly cor
rected by means of this telephone
method than in the old manner of des-
patching.
1t is also claimed that the amount
saved by the telephone system thru
the prompt reporting of delays, and
the reduction in the loss of time, will
more than offset the expense which the
and maintenance of this
new system will cause.
