ORIGINAL TELEGRAPH LINE.
First in the United States Built From
Washington to Baltimore.

There was just one story to enlivcn
almost three months of debate i'm the
senate over President Tafts railroad
regulation bill. TIE senate was scri-
Gus most of the time. Senator Bailey
told the story just before debate was
finished. and it was suggested by the
legislation which the senate inserted
in the bill by amendment which has
to do with the regulation of telegraph
and telephone lines. Here it is:
The truth is that the first telegraph
line ever established in the United
preparation from the Federal treas
ury and procured through the gener-
GUS impulse of a Tennessean.
1T was in the closing hours of a
session when the appropriation of
$4,000 had passed the senate, and il
seemed as if the adjournment of con-
grcSS would occur before it could be
considered i'm the house. Under ten
sion which few men i'm the world have
ever experienced Mr.. Morse went to
doorkeeper of the house and asked
him who was the best hearted man
among all the representatives. The
dOorkeepcr told him that it was Rob-
ert L. Carruthers of Tennessee, who,
strange to say. was Il bachelor. He
sent for MIR. Carruthers and made his
last appeal. He took Carruthers to
the basement Of the Capitol where he
had established his instrument, and.
taking message from Carruthers as
he sat at one desk, transmitted it to an
associate. who received it as the other
desk and read it to CarruthcrS exact
ly aS he had written it,
Upon that demonstration CarruthcrS
went back into the house of rcpresen-
tatives and secured the passage of
that item, and ii is one of the irones
OF politics that the first message ever
came from Baltimore to Washington
announcing the nomination of Car
ruther's great political rival for the
presidency of the United tSates.
"Under those circumstances it was
not remarkable that the government
should have felt privileged to demand
at the hands of the telegraph company
concessions which were not generally
accorded its customers.
and then, too. as | said moment
ago, we had not in that day reached
the conclusion that everybody who

In a comparative study OF the cost

salaries and wages represented nearly
another third, being $0.481 per day per
patient out OF total of s1669 The
fuel, oil and light cost was s0.206 per

OF the total cost. The daily cost In
the several institutions ranged all the
