Universal Service
The opening of this line is the culmi-
nation of the Bell idea of universal SER
vice-in presenting it for the use and
convenience of the public, the Amer
lean Telephone & Telegraph Company
renders an account of its stewardship.
1t has fulfilled its promise and, not
only in itself, but as ain earnest of
what is to follow in future develop
ment,' this nationwide line proves
that it is the intention of the Ameri-
can Telephone G Telegraph Company
to make it possible for every man who
can talk, to talk over the telephone
to every man who can hear.
The telephone was born here and it
has reached its greatest perfection
here; under no other conditions, ex-
cept such as exist in the United |
States, could it have come to its high
est development. With its dozens of |
telephone systems, Europe has no long
distance line to compare with this.
The Transcontinental Line is a culmi-
nation of an art that was born in the
United States, the high water mark
of a science that was created and
has been developed entirely by Amer
lean genius and enterprise. 1t is the
highest achievement of practical sci
ence up to today-no other nation has
produced anything like it, nor could
any other nation. 1t is sui generis, it

Talk Across The

+ Less than forty years ago, Alexander
Graham Bell, standing in little attic
aSo. Exeter Place, Boston, sent
trough crude telephone, his own in
yslion, the first spoken words ever car
Tled over wire, and the words were
heard and understood by his associate,
Thomas A. Wotson, who was at the re-
ceiyer I'M an adjacent room. On that
day, Matth 10th, 1876, the telephone
was b4rh, and the first message went

H0n Monday afternoon, January 25th,

Telephone G Telegraph Company, at
New York, talked to this same Thorn
as A. Watson in San Francisco, over
wire stretching 3,40O miles across the
continent and part of system that
includes 100000 telephones, connect
ed by 100000 miles of wires.
In that same memorable year of
1876, Dom Pedro de Alcantara, EN-
peror of Brazil, visiting the first tele-
phone exhibition at our FIRST great ma

al, picked up the receiver, listened as

other end of a room, but from the
other side Of a continent.
The Pan-American Exposition itself,
planned to celebrate the completion of
the Panama Canal and the joining of
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, will
mark a still closer welding of the
East and West. When its gates are
thrown open on February goth, San
Francisco will not only be nearer to
New York through shortening of
its water ways, but will be in con.
slant and instantaneous touch with it
through the medium of speech. 1t
is a curious fact too, that this second
great feat of engineering, this other
canal, this even more intimate con.
nection between the two seaboards,
has been completed in the same year.

Councilman Draper. chairman of

claim of the Wilmington Building
Commission, which sent a letter re-
questing Council TO turn over to the
commission, S2S.491S2. the balance
of the premium realized from the sale
OF the 100000 Building Commission
bonds. The letter had been received
last week but it was not read until
last evening. Mr.. Draper explained
that the money realized from the pre-
MUM had been used to pay the inter-
est on the bonds and IL had been de-
posted in a separate account at the
Farmers Bank. He denied that the
money had been used by Council for
current expenses. The letter was re-
ferred to the finance committee, but
what action II will take in the matter
was not hinted at.
Council was also informed by letter
that the Street and Sewer Department
had rejected the condemnation pro-

Declaring that hundreds of tons Of

Councilman McGoldrick asked City
Council last night TO instruct the Board
of Health TO have the garbage removed

Councilman Draper explained that
when the American Reduction Works
went into the hands OF receivers about
