500 Employees Must Be Economical.

G: r. Huntington, general manager
of the 500 Railway Co., has sent a cir
cular to all employees, stating that the
increase in the cost of materials used
by that company, will make an addi-
ton in the expenditures for the year
amounting to two and half million
dollars. The average increase in the
cost Of the stationery supplies and
printing alone, makes an average in
crease Of 80 per cent. Some of the
stationery supplies have increased
from 100 to 800 per cent. The station
cry cost the company s25O,0OO last
year and the increased price will mean
an additional expenditure of some
thing like $4,000. The 500 has eau
toned its employees to be very econom-
ical in the use of all materials.

NArIoNALlzINe LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Arguments Pro and Con on Proposed
Action in Great Britain to Regulate
the Drink Business.

Arguments for and against the ma
tionalization Of the liquor traffic were
heard.
Sir Joseph Compton Rickett. NJ. p,
who was the principal speaker in faV-
or of naturalization, suggested to
those who had appealed to the gov
ernment for prohibition at the pres
ent time that it was not practicable.
It would create a violent reaction i'm
mediately at the close of the war. He
was in favor of the government being
made practically responsible for the
physical conditions and the temper
ance of the people. Those engaged In
the trade must remember that. wheth-
er it was nationalized or not, it would
certainly not be so profitable for them
in future as it had been In the past.
There would be a continuing abridg-
ment of their powers. BY nationaliza-
ton they would at once destroy the
political organization Of the trade and
by so doing would destroy an opposl-
ton to temperance which existed In
every beer shop in the country. The
first step would be to reduce immense
ly the alcoholic strength of drink sold
in this country. He did not see why
the sale OF spirits should not be re-
stricted to persons who had an order
from their doctors. He submitted that
they would never get prohibition by
any other means than natlonaiization'
if they ever got it. Regarding the
financial aspect of naturalization, he
declared that, so far from being a
drag on the revenues of this coun
try. there would be very fine sum
in relief of taxation. The idea Of pro-
hibition might be right, and he re-
minded prohibitionists that nationali-
zation did not bar the accomplishment
of their ideal: but IL they could not
by any other means diminish the
drunkenness of the country, and they
could by naturalization, he suggested
that prohibitionists were taking a
great responsibility upon their shoul-
ders. "You could do an inestimable
service by reconsidering your posi-
ton" he concluded. attaching, If you
thought At, certain conditions to yo-..
consent. SO that we could see IL we
could not present an unbroken front
to the common enemy"

The Iron Disks Talked,

Washington Star: Mr.. watson,
come here. want you" These SEEM
ingly simple words marked an epoch
making invention. They were the first
words ever spoken over telephone.
Professor Bell, the earnest young In
ventor. had worked on a curious con-
trivance for some weeks. Mr.. Watson
was his assistant at 50 week. For
40 long weeks the curious sound toy
had gaspcd and gurgled. made strange
noises. but now 1t spoke. Mr.. Wat
son rushed up the stairs with blazing
eyes: Il heard what you said. l heard
the words. Here l am"
The young inventor was wild with
Joy At last telegraphing actual vocal
sounds was no longer a dream. 1t was
reality. On his 29th birthday Bell
received his patent No. 174.466, the
most valuable single patent ever issued
in any country"
During the centennial celebration IN
1876 the telephone first came to the
notice Of eminent scientists. Nf. Ben
had been given a small table on Which
was placed his model. Someone had
promised to induce the judges to look
at it. Four o'clock came. but no
Judges. and then when they did arrive
they were hot, tired and Indifferent to
the fact that there was new inNen-
tion on a small table which no one had
ever heard about Then something
happened that reads like a page from
a story book. It Is related by Mr.. Cas-
son:
The emperor Of Brazil, Dom PEDRO
ACCOMPANIED by the Empress Theresa
and bv a bevy Of courtiers, walked into
the room. advanced with both hands
outstretched to the bewildered Bell and
exclaimed:
see you again
"The Judges at once forgot the heat
and their fatigue and hunger: VINO
was this young inventor with the paIe
complexion and black eyes that ne
should be the friend OF empcrors!
Thev did not know and for the NOM
ent Bell himself had forgotten that
Dom Pedro had once visited Bells
class OF deaf muteS at Boston unlVef-
sity. and so, with the tall, blond
bearded Dom Pedro in the center. the
assembled judges and scientlstS-there
were fully so in all. entered with un-
usual zest into the proceedings of this
first telephone exhibition. A wire had
been strung from one end Of the
room to the other, and while Bell went
to the transmitter. Dom Pedro TOOK
up the receiver and placed 1t TO his
ear. It was q moment of tense expec-
fancy. No one knew clearly what was
about to happen, when the emPeLoi'
with a dramatic gesture. raised ms
head from the receiver and exelalm-
ed. with a look Of utter amazement.
My God. it talksP
Next came to the receiver the old
est scientist in the group, the vener-
able Joseph Henry, whose encourage
ment to Bell had been so timely. He
stopped to listen. and. as one OF the
bystanders afterward said, no one
could forget the look Of awe that came
into his face as he heard the iron disks
talking with a human voice. Tnls.
