as we'll as to receive the telegram
quickly and accurately.
1t is also the intention of the
Western Union to deliver by tele-
phone all kilograms which NAV be
destined to subscribers to tele-
phones in communities where the
local Western Union office may be
closed.
This is done under system by
which the more important Western
Union Offices that are never closed
handle the kilograms directly with
the subscribers. Ordinarily, such
kilograms would go to the tele
graph Office in the community
where the subscribers are located
and be delivered from that Office.
But it is the desire of the telegraph
company to search out by telephone
all parties to whom messages may
be addressed in any locality where
the telegraph Office may be closed
and this is done through the larger
Offices which remain open at all
times.
In extensive territory, such as
that of the Northwest where the
distances between points are con
siderable, and where the forward
ing of telegram with the ordinary
toll rates added to the charges upon
the telegram would increase the cost
of the service greatly, this new ar
offered to the public
and which takes effect at once will .
cause great saving to all telephone
who use the telegraph
and it will add much to the value /
of all kilograms.
In farming and outlying COM
munities telephone subscribers are
given the privilege of forwarding
kilograms direct to Western I'm
ion Office and may be assured that
that Office will always be open and
receive the telegram and transmit it
the same as if it had been carried
to telegraph Office and filed over
the counter in tn /. usual manner.
The widespread and general use
Of the telephone in connection with
the forwarding and also the deliv-
cry of kilograms has impressed the
telegraph company with the neces-
sity for more extended and valu-
able service to the public, which is
now granted.

WESTERN UNION
IS PROGRESSIVE

Additional extensions and bene-
fits to the public by the Western
Union Telegraph Co., are announc-
ed in connection with the further
Developments Of system by which
the Pacific Telephone and Tele-
graph Companys subscribers may
send and receive kilograms over
their telephones, in fact. all persons
who may properly use subscrib-
ers telephone may forward tele-
grams to an open Western Union
Office at all hours of the day or
night. but Immediately upon the
closing of the telegraph Office a
community, whether at night or on
Sundays or holidays. an arrange
ment is made by which those who
wish to send kilograms may secure
connection without any delay with
a distant Western Union Office to
which the kilograms may be tele-
phoned and no charge will be made
for the use of the telephone circuit
in warding such kilograms.
This facility was originally ex-
tended to the Public on January lst
but certain toll charges in connec-
ton Herewith were established at
that time. The toll charges are
now dispensed with, and subscrib-
ers of the telephone company and
those who may properly use sub
scribers telephones are given this
additional and cheaper service.
The only charge being that made
for the telegram itself. Such
charge is the regular rate for tele
gram that would ordinarily be filed
in the local telegraph Office.
The Western Union maintains a
great number of telegraph offices
open only during the day or closing
at an early hour in the evening.
After the closing Of such Offices.
telephone subscriber may start a
telegram on its journey and be as
sured that it will receive the same
consideration and attention as if FL
ed in the local telegraph Office.
A very large amount of telegraph
ing is put over until the next dav
because the public feel that after a
lacal Western Union Telegraph Of
fee closes for the night, no tele-
graph business may be conducted
by them until that Office opens the
next morning. The new facility
gives the public the full use of the
telegraph wires at night by having
the telegraph service placed at their
disposal in connection with the
telephone. This new service is un-
iversal, excepting where a telegram
would originate at a point where
no telegraph Office is maintained at
all.
The procedure is a very simple
one:
A subscriber secures CENTRAL
in the usual way and states that he
or she has telegram to send. The
CENTRAL Office makes connections
Immediately with distant Western
Union Office which never closes,
and the subscriber thereupon tele-
phones the telegram to an expert
receiver who is capable of giving
full information in regard to the

VISIT GIRL
BORN BLIND WHO
SAYS SHE WILL SEE
Watchers Declare Her Soul
Spent Whole Day in
Heaven.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 30.-The eight-day
fast of Margaret Shipley, the McKees-
pert blind girl, entered on last Sun
day to restore her sight, will end this
evening.
The watchers, who spent the day at
the bed of the trance-like sleeper, told
visitors last night that her soul had
left her body early in the morning; had
been absent in heaven all day, and re-
turned to her body at night. Shortly
afterward the girl raised her hands and
said: Jesus Christ was the Saviour of
the Jews; l will be the savior of the
Gentiles." 1t was the only time she
spoke all day.
Church-going citizens, ~scandalized by
tho visiting thousands who tramped up
the hill In the mud to view the Sleep
ing girl. petitioned the McKeesport pc.
lice, after sending a physician to ex-
anime the girl and finding she was in
no danger of death from weakness, re-
fused to interfere.
Little Girl Ordered Away.
The authorities, however. forbade H.
year-old Edna Tauber, whom Mar
garet had arranged to have remain at
her bedside day and night until her fast
was over, to continue her watch longer,
and sent her nome for the night. 1t
was learned that Edna, exalted by Mar
garet's example, had not tasted food
for two days.
Margaret has promised that after her
soul takes 1t trip to heaven today and
returns to her body she will wake with
her sight at 6 o'clock this evening. al

Twenty-Five thousand persons visit

is staying yesterday. Many women

door to the room in which she lay, but
were not admitted.
