StOnewall Jackson.

New York World, May 2: Fiji
ty years ago tonight there fel
mOrtally wounded at Chancel
louisville one of the greatest cap
tains of the English speaking
races.
Lee, who called StoneWal
Jackson his strong right arm
once said that he would have
won Gettysburg if Jackson had
been there. Be that as it may,
the almost uninterrupted victo-
ries of the army of Northern
Virginia ended when Jackson
passed away. charlottesville
marked the flood tide of the Con-
federate arms. Two months la
ter came Gettysburg, and from
thence on to Appomatox Lees
forces, despite all their marvel
Gus courage and tenacity, were
never again invincible.
Jackson's place in military
history is unique. Most great
regulations were made by long
years of service. His career was
compressed into a scanty twen-
ty-two months, from that day in
July, 1861, when Lee pointed to
him standing like a stone wall"
at Bull Run, to the early May
day in 1868 when he marched his
corps around the front of Hook
er's army, smashed in it's right
flank and gave the Confederacy
it's most brilliant victory, only
to fall upder the fire of his own
A. terrible partnership was
tlzh between the Cavalier and
fthe Puritan; between Lee, who
embodied the chivalry of Virgin
ia, and Jackson, who was a di-
rect spiritual descendant of the
men that fought with Cromwell
at Naseby. In all crises the two
men seemed to fight with a sin
gle brain and single purpose,
destitute alike of the jealousy
and intrigue that all but wreck
ed the Army of the Potomac. =
Jackson presents a strange
appealing figure on the pages of
history. He was as gentle and
gracious as Lee, as silent and
taciturn as Grant, as daring and
audacious as Stuart or Sheridan,
as relentless as Sherman, and
with it all there was an intensi-
ty of religious fervor that be-
lOnged to the seventeenth cen
fury rather than the nineteenth.

It's plan into effect, the Tele-
phone Company has contempla'-
ed installing this new telepnoie
service in Newport, and, While
the installation of the high type
of service has necessitated a
large outlay upon the part OF the
Company, the Telephone Compa-
nv felt that it was justified IN
the undertaking because OF the
future prospects of Newport:
peonle here are coming more ana
more to depend upon the tele-
phone as the quickest and moS'
satisfactory method for the
transaction of business and So
cial affairs, and already the lei
ephone business of Newport re-
ouires a more elastic system OF
telephone service than is repre-
sented in the "Magneto" oyS-
tenn.
The new exchange occupies
/ the second floor of the telephone
building on Hazel street, and
covers a floor space approx
mating 102 x 23.10 feet.
In the operating room IS the
switchboard, equipped for 5o0
lines and 100 stations, 1t accom-
modates five operators at one
time.
About $50 stations are operat-
ed from the exchange at pres
ent; $500 local calls and 800 toll
calls are handled daily. IA toll
circuits terminate at the switch
board and long distance install
ed at the time the system
was changed, provides facilities
for long distance communlca-
ton all over the country.
Adjoining the operating room
is the public Office, containing
| cashiers desk, etc. Opening out
of this office is the private office
of the local manager.
A rest room is provided fol

tors. The room is comfortably
furnished with reading table
easy chairs, a couch, etc. 1t also
contains steel lockers where be-
longings may be safely slowed
away.
The Southwestern Telegraph
and Telephone Company desire;
to make the telephone Office in
viting for employees and pa
irons.
The Southwestern Telegraph
and Telephone Company
through the local manager, Mr.
Whitson, invits every either
of Newport to come ovel
next Thursday and get acquaint
ed with the telephone. Visitor;
will be shown over the plant ano
! the operation Of telephone sys
tenn will be carefully explained.
Ladies and gentlemen will fine
the visit full of interest. They
will probably be surprised t.
find how different the telephone
is from what they think, in its
operation and general plan.
If you have a clear idea of the
operation of your telephone, you
will be better able to use the tel
ephone, and, by cooperating
with the Company, help to main.
tain a satisfactory and efficient
telephone service in Newport.

Telephone Company to Give Re

give puDllC TeCepIlOH vi
next Thursday between 2 p. n.
and 10 p. M, at the new tele-
phone building to formally open
the new exchange, and give the
citizens of Newport an oppor-
tunity to inspect the plant and
familiarize themselves with the
operation Of a telephone system.
The new telephone system
which has just been installed
here, and which offers the Occas-
ion for the reception next Thurs
day, to which invitations have
been issued, is known as the
Common Battery Exchange
System. 1t replaces the old
fashioned "Magneto" System
which Newport has outgrown.
The average individual has a
small conception Of what is in
volved in changing from the
"Magneto" to the Common Bat
terry Telephone System. The
ordinary telephone user seldom
thinks Of the long stretches of
copper wire, the forest of tele-
phone poles, the costly and high
ly complicated switchboard; he
knows nothing Of the require
ments of telephone service, and
to him, changing from one Sys-
tenn to another, Or "Cutting Ov-
er" as it is technically called,
implies nothing laborious or eX-
pensive.
To "Cut Over" from the Mag
neto to the Common Battery
System not only means that ev-
cry telephone on the old Magne-
to System must be disconnected
from the old exchange, and con-
nected with the new, but it also
involves practically the rebuild
ing Of the entire inside and out
side plant.
On most of the lines operated
with the Magnetic System for
merly used iron wire on ground
ed circuits was the rule. One of
these iron wires ran from each
telephone to the exchange. It
was necessary to take down all
of this wire and most of the
poles upon which it was strung.
In it's place in the new metallic
circuits have been installed two
copper wires, which, instead of
the one iron wire, are now used
between each telephone and the
exchange. Telephones of the
latest model have replaced the
old type of instrument formerly
in use.
Common battery exchange
service is the type of service
furnished all metropolitan cit
les; it gives a service far more
superior to that obtainable from
the old fashioned "Magneto'
System, and is speedier andmore
accurate. The new system does
away with batteries at each tel
ephone, centralizing them at the
telephone exchange.
In Common Battery service
the more or less annoying ring
ing on party line is eliminated.
The telephone operator is sig
nailed by merely removing the re-
ceiver from the hook, which au-
Dramatically lights tiny electric
light located in the switchboard
in sight of the operator. This
little lamp goes out as soon as
the party called for answers by
taking down his receiver. When
subscribers have finished talk
ing they hang up their receivers.
the little electric lamp flashes on
again, and the operator knows
that the conversation is over.
1t will be seen at once that this
method saves a great deal of
time at both ends of the CONVEX .

BEST OF OUTDOOR FUN
HAPPY THE MAN WHO FINDS DE-
LIGHT IN FISHING.
Enjoyment Not Given to All, and Hard
to cultivate-HeaIth, Strength, .
Courage and Fortitude In
the Sport.

There are In this world two sorts
of men, those who fish and those who
don't.
The don't are divided into those who
would II they could, but can't, and
those who could If they would, but
won't.
The won't are still further divided
into those who are quite contented that
they don't want to. and those who are
dissatisfied with themselves because
they lack the taste.
When we get ~ far % this We reach
the man who could II he would but
won't, and would II he could but can't.
Talk to him about it, and he will
tell you something like this:
yes; I know that it is a great thing
to 60 fishing. There is my partner. He
is a fisherman, says it's fun. and by
the way he sticks to 1t and leaves
me here to take care OF things, l guess
likely it is fun-for him. But as for
me, I can't fish. I've tried 1t, faith
fully; have sat in a boat half a day
at a time; have tramped miles of
stream; have gone through the mo-
tons and caught fish, too, but that
is not fishing; it does not give me the
enjoyment 1t does others. am not
a fisherman. when l see how others
like it, how much good it seems to
do them, and how it brightens up the
world for them; I often wish l did
like fishing. But I don't, and never
shall"
That is what the woulds say. Just
such cases have come under the no.
tice of almost every fisherman. For
there is this about field sports, that
while most people are quite ready to
recognize what they do for those who
follow them, the taste for their true
enjoyment Is born in one, and Is with
difficulty acquired in mature years. 1t
may lie long latent. and one may take
to fishing or TO shooting late in life.
but he must have had in him, though
dormant and unsupported, the capacity
of enjoyment with the rod or the gun.
Not infrequently people take up in late
life the fishing rod which has been
idle for years, or go shooting once
more after a decade of forgetfulness
of the field. They renew the sports of
their early days, and with them awak-
en- again the youthful spirit, and re-
store health and strength and courage
and fortitude. To be possessed Of
such tastes is a blessing often too
lightly esteemed. The father who en-
dows his son in the care-free days Of
boyhood with a liking for these sports
of the field is equipping him for life
