Sixty years ago the Telephone" a
stern-wheel steamboat $50 feet in
length, left Portsmouth, Ohio, on her
maiden trip to Pittsburgh. At that
time fast boats had often been called
the Telegraph" but only two months
after the first commercial telephone
exchange in the world had been open
ed in New Haven, Conn.,-the name
Telephone" was an innovation. Alex
arder Graham Bells invention was
new and mysterious and the name
telephone" stirred the imaginations
of the residents along the upper Ohio
River. 1t was then six months before
the first telephone exchange was to be
opened in the state, and, of course,
long before the telephone was in gen
eral use.
The three Maddy brothers, who in
1876 had become prominent in steam
boat circles on the upper Ohio River
through their ownership and opera
ton of the steamers "Salt Valley" and
Exchange" sought fitting name for
their new boat.
The telephone was topic of much
discussion and on March a, 1873, the
Maddy brothers announced that they
had selected very appropriate name
for their new steamboat-"The Tele-
phone" Oddly enough, the bell which
they placed on the Telephone" was
formerly in use on the steamer eek
change" on which they had served and
had been financially interested. The
ship YES launched at Ironton, Ohio,

later began her run between Cincin-
natl and Pittsburgh.
On November /, 1878, the "Tele-
phone" permanently abandoned her
Cincinnati and Pittsburgh schedule
and entered the trade for which she
was built, that between Wheeling and
Charleston, w. Va, the latter port be-
ing on the Kanawha River. On De-
cember 2, the Maddy brothers sold the
Telephone" to the Kanawha Valley
Packet Company, and the following
week she entered the Charleston and
Gallipolis trade. The "Telephone" was
queen of the upper Ohio and Great
Kanawha rivers and did much to pub
licize the instrument from which she
derived her name in the early pioneer
days of the telephone industry.
After an interesting career on the
Kanawha and Ohio Rivers, she was
damaged by ice on January 2, 1885,
and sank. After having difficulties il.
trying to raise her, the job was aban-
doned and the ship was sold to
wreckers.
The interesting story of the "Tele-
phone" was dug out of musty news
paper files and historical material by
Clarence A. Swoyer, of Columbus,
Ohio, chairman of the historical re-
search committee of the N. C. Kings
bury Chapter No. 2, Telephone
Pioneers of America. He became in
terested in the historic steamboat dur
ing the course of his research into the
early history of the telephone industry
in Ohio.

gold and the possibility of a great
saint. So Jesus called Matthew from
the seat of custom, saying, Follow
me-" And he arose and followed him.
Furthermore, when Matthew gave a
farewell dinner for his former asso-
ciates in the Roman customs service,
Jesus even dared to attend the Ian
quet, and thus further offend the
sense of propriety of the scribes and
Pharisees, who demanded: "How is it
that he eateth and. drinketh with pub
licans and sinners?" When Jesus
heard the criticism, he stood his
ground, and justified his action, say
ing, @Tney that are whole have no
need of physician, but they that are
sick: I came not to call the right
eous, but sinners" Jesus refused to
kick any man because he was down.
He had come to lift men up, and was
,unashamed to rake the gutter for his
saints, that he might lift them to
the stars. He, held in contempt all race
and class prejudice that sought to
ostracize from religious fellowship
those whom any snug set felt might
seem out of place in their society.
ACn2-EaCcU I6tlIS lOus
Because Jesus did not go about with
a long face and sanctimonious mien,
his enemies charged him with a lack
of piety. While they were fasting he
was feasting. Their own religion hurt
them while Jesus and his disciples
seemed to enjoy theirs "And they
came and say unto him, why do
Johns disciples and the disciples of
the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples
fast not?" His answer, in effect, was
that folk should not fast unless they
felt like fasting, and even then they
should not make a fuss and ado about
it. If there were not an inner sad
ness there should be no outward sham
or show of it. With John the Baptist
in prison his disciples might we'll feel
sad and show it in fasting. But Jesus
presence with his disciples was the
occasion of such joy that fasting
would have tean an incongruity.
There would be time for that later un-
der the cross, but not now while he
was with them. GAS long as they have
the bridegroom with them, they can
not fast" Normal religion is joyous.

patch a wornout religion Of empty
