Progress Made in the Field of Electricity
Golden AaalTrrurf,
HI9 yar the Western Union Tele
graph company round out nftjr
years of corporate existence and
the gulden anniversary Is fittingly
observed In the Telegraph Am by
an extended historical review of the devel
opment of telegrapny and tha men con
plcuoua In the march of progress. Refer
ring to the event editorially the Telegraph
Age says:
"Telegraphy, although a well established
fact, was nevertheless, comparatively
peaking, a new art In 1S56, when on April
4 of that year the Western Union Telegraph
company waa granted Its charter by the
state cf New York. Prior to that date Its
general acceptance aa a mean of communi
cation had been limited, perhapa because
facilities were narrow; its constructive
progress waa slow. Building, however, upon
the foundation of Ita Immediate predeces
sor, the New York and Mississippi Valley
Tinting Telegraph company,- the merger
which resulted In the formation of the
Western Union Telegraph company brought
together disunited, feeble and conflicting In
terests, welding the aame Into a single com
pact whole. A mighty Impulse waa Im
parted to the new relationa thus secured,
which at once gave a distinct, better de
fined and more tangible direction to the tel
egraph and Ita future In America. It was
the beginning of the magnificent structure
tthat has alnce been reared on thla initial
proceeding, and which has since caused the
North American continent to be covered
with network of wires, and submarine ca
blea to bo laid In every sea, for the Influ
ences exerted by this great company have
been most potent.
, 'It was auspicious that the control of
this company was originally vested In the
hands of men of strong perceptions, of
large mental cnllber. having the courage of
their convictions, who had absolute fajth
'In the enterprise upon which they had en
tered. Under skillful management Im
rpetus waa gained, wenkness developed Into
strength . nnd the enormous commercial
lvalue of telegraphy became more and more
capparent. The transmlrslon of executive
control thiough succeeding administrations
"has uniformly placed strong men In office.
This company hne been fortunnte In this
respect, for under whatever vicissitudes of
fortune It mny have labored at any . time
In the long period of fifty years, it has,
J with the practice of Indomitable energy,
not only been able to overcome all obsta
: clea to progress, but has pressed forward
ilwlth giant strides, gaining In strength and
power and broadening Its field of opera
tions. It Is a record of growth that stands
without parallel.
' The fifty years of life of the Western
Union Telegraph company haa been pro
ductive of such vast results, so Intimately
associated In promoting the development
and advancing the civilisation of the coun
try by Its progressive methods and ready
means of communication afforded, which
gave to the newspaper press Ita oppor
tunity to rise to Its present strength In
disseminating news and Information and to
aunihilnte time and distance, that however
much In these busy latter days we have
come to regard and accept the ample serv
ice rendered as a matter of course. It Is
well to pause and consider what has led
up to It, Its beginning. Its growth and full
fruition. In thla spirit of retrospect and of
acknowledgement the goiden Jubilee, now
at hand, will awaken a very general sense
of sympathetic and responsive Interest."
Wireless Hew Hex-easily.
Conservative steamship men viewed with
some incredulity the first Installation of
wireless apparatus aboard a liner less than
five years ago. Now there Is no steam
ship of any of the great companies that
la not equipped with the system. What
was looked upon as a mere luxury of ocean
travel, something In th nature of an
electrical toy for the amusement of sea
goers, la recognized as a necessity In the
equipment of all ocean vessels.
As an official of the Cunard line, the
pioneer of the wireless fleets, puts it:
"Marconi stands for safety and the con
venience of passengers." No longer are
the precious hours In which the ship may
be In touch devoted to games of chess.
The equipment is used for serious and ex
pensive business. 8lxty-flve Atlantic cross
er can now flash greeting st each other,
warn one another of danger In the shape
of fog-enshrouded berg, low-lying derelict
In the lnne of traffic and In emergencies
lend aid.
Agents of the lines that have the most
expensive equipped ships say that, commer
cially considered, wlreles does not quite
pay yet, but that It Is worth more than It
costs aa a means of protection and be
cause of the tremendous sdvnntage of en
abling the ships to keep in touch with the
world ashore. On this side of the Atlantlo
an overdue liner with hundreds of passen
gers may no longer remain for days un
heard of. as was the disabled Cunarder
Umhrla years ago.
Remarkable Telephone Chanare.
The other day the British general post
office successfully carried through the most
stupendous removal ever heard of In tha
telephone world. It was thought advisable
to make the premises of the "Central"
telephone exchange, London, thoroughly
r
fireproof. To do this, temporary quarters
had to be found for the switchboards and
other paraphernalia Involving a transfer cf
some twenty thousand pairs of wires, re
lays, heat colls, lamps, bells, etc. For some
months past preparatory works have been
carried out In connection with the removal,
and so well was this done that the actual
transfer wss completed In less than Ave
minutes. Until 3:30 on the afternoon In
question "Central" subscribers had been
joined on to two exchanges. Every avail
able member of the staff was summoned
and. whilst the operators were migrating
to the new building, the engineering staff
was busy running lengths of tape under
the heat colls, which are made of "fuse"
wire. Two hundred were placed on each
tape with two loose ends, to enable the
engineers to remove , them In one motion.
Just before 3:30 the signal was given that
all was right In the "test" room In the
basement. A similar message came from
the operating room, and, watch In hand,
the engineer In charge gave the word.
There was no bustle, but everything passed
off well. Owing to the restricted space be
hind the frames, some thirty men only
could be employed, but so regularly and
methodically was the work done that In
eighty seconds 19,000 heat colls had been
removed, and the lines were through to the
new operating room. Up In the latter
apartment the operators sat waiting at
their call boards with ISO plug holes facing
them and 180 lamps ready to light up. Pa
tiently they sat "Jack" In hand until the
word came from the test room, "You're
through." Quick as thought every holion
the call board was In turn plugged. Tor
the next five minutes nothing could be
heard but the click, click, click of the
"Jacks" as they were moved In and out of
the plug holes by the operators four times
In succession. As esch plug was Inserted
the glass Insulators flew out of the relay
and aubscrtbers could once more call up.
The transfer was now complete. The
subscriber was In turn rung up and
belated employers or clerks heard the
voices of the operator asking If all waa
right. Some, of course, did not answer,
and In these cases other tests were used.
Every line Is carefully measured, and in
the test room the engineers have the meas
urements filed on a card. By means of
these cards and a voltmeter the engineers
can at any time tell whether a line Is In
working order right up to the subscriber's
Instrument, and If a fault exists can at
once localise It. In cases where subscrib
ers did not answer these tests were requisi
tioned, but so well was the whole of the
previous work carried out that not a single
fault was discovered. For some time after
the transfer the process of soldering the
40,000 lines went forward.

1 vlvlng union generals of the civil
comparatively few of them are
living, forty years after the war,"
said General Oretn B. Haum of Chicago
to a Washington Poet reporter. General
, Raum was formerly commissioner of pen
sions and also commissioner of Internal
revenue. He la In Washington to advocate
the Mann bill, which places the volunteer
generals of tho civil war on the retired
' list of the regular army.
. "In order to learn how many would be
entitled to receive retired pay .if tho bill
passed," continued the general, "I have
been writing to every part of the United
itates ' to round up those who led the
forces that saved the union. I found three
( major generals, thirty-four brigadier gen
1 erals and 134 colonels who were breveted
brigadier generals. The great majority of
them are of advanced age, between 70 and
13 years. Only twenty-live of the 169 are
under the age of 70.
' "The retiring of them on general's par
would entail on annual expense to the gov.
lernment of t5S2,$90, a poor return for the
"four years' service they rendered the na
'tlon In the 60s. Captains of the regular
army were breveted generals and after

teer generals wno commanded during the
War have received about 312 a month.

and Julius Btahl, all of New York. Stahl

friends, I have paid high tribute to Gen
eral Hawley, but I assure you not one word
have I said of him that I would not say
about myself."
A Popular Quartermaster.
The Ban Francisco newspapers welcome
Colonel John M. Clem from service as
chief quartermaster In the Philippines to
become chief quartermaster of the Califor
nia department. It is said In the praise of
Colonel Clem that he saved the govern
ment 32,500,000 In two and a half years dur
ing his Philippine service and he Is spoken
of as "the next quartermaster general of
the army." John M. Clem, now 54 years
eld, waa U when ha saw Ms first service
during the civil war aa the "drummer boy
of 81illph." He was with the Twenty
second Michigan Infantry and at 12 years
of age waa promoted by General Rosecrans
to the rank of sergeant. Colonel Clem has
been soldiering ever since.
A Hard Blaster.
At one time in his career John Ii Sulli
van, formerly heavyweight champion, gave
lessons in boxing, but the average pupil
lacked much of the fortitude necessary,
for John was a vigorous instructor. A
young man o'nee went to the great fighter
and arranged for a course of ten lessons.
At the end of the second lesson, pretty
well battered up, the young man said he
thought he had enough. "Enough 1" said
his teacher in astonishment. "Why, you
haven't learned" "I know," the young
man Interrupted. "But I'll tell you how it
Is: There's a fellow I dislike, and I ar
ranged for this course so as to lick him In
a fight. But on second thought I bave de

lessons."
A Twain latrodoct Ion.
I Mark Twain on one occasion introduced
Senator Hawley of Connecticut to a political
gathering In New York state. Mr. Clem
ens told the audience that they could bank
.on the senator's honesty, for although his
backyard at Hartford adjoined that of
Senator Hawley, he had never lost a single
chicken, and although he had closely
watched the general aa he passed the plate
in the Asylum Hill Congregational church,

Fond of Boys.''
The pope's fondness for boys Is well
known, says Harper's Weekly, and it bas
served singularly to distinguish one sturdy
American youngster. Stanhope Nixon, the
11-year-old son of Lewis Nixon, the ship
builder. To him Pope Plus X gave not
only an affectionate hug and a blessing,
but a large silver medal, which Is his
proudest possession. When Mr. Nixon was
on his way to build torpedo boats In Rus
sia be stopped In Rome, and, with Mrs.
Nixon and their son, had a private audi
ence with the pope. Mgr. Kennedy, presi
dent of the American college at Rome, said
to him Just before their entrance, "When
bis holiness sees your boy he will have no
eyes whatever for you." And this was well
borne out, because aa soon as the pope
saw young Nixon he ceased speaking,
opened his arms and hugged the boy to his
breast. A few moments later he bade one
of his chamberlains bring the medal, which
he gave the lad with a benediction.'
Sherman Hoar la War Time.
When Sherman Hoar was running for
congress his opponent was Mr. Fox of
Cambridge, and Mr. Hoar called bis own
campaign "the Fox chase." The older lead
ers and local men, relates the Boston
Herald, gave Mr. Hoar points on what to
speak about and what local character or
subjects he might Have to run up against
or to argue about. In Watertown, he was
told, there was an old gentleman, a veteran
of the civil war, who dated everything that
ever happened from the war. Nothing im
portant, he thought, had ever happened
since.
The old soldier atetnded every public
meeting, whether republican or democratic,
Beating himself conspicuously in the front
row, where he could both see and hear bet
ter. Mr. Hoar was told that this old gen
tleman was sure to be present to bear him
speak and that he probably would, as was
his custom, ask him some questions about
the war and whether or not he had done
anything toward aavlng the country, re
gardless of whether Mr. Hoar was old
enough to know personally anything of
the great contest.
Mr. Hoar, sure enough, was Interrupted
in the middle of his speech by the veteran,
who said:
"What I want to know Is, What were you
doing during the wart Did you flrht for
your country, or didn't youT That's what
want you to tell me and the rest or tne
folks here. What were you doin' along tn
'61 and '82, an' up to Appomattox?"
"Well," said Mr. Hoar, with a kindly
smile and a boyish twinkle In his eyes, "I
guess I was suffering about as much aa
you were, for along In '61 and '63 I was
teething."
And the veteran, as the shouts of laugh
ter went up, was unable to say a single
word that could be heard, though he kept
on talking for so.me time.

Mather's Religion.
On the last evening of the three-day re
vival, held In the Chicago Avenue church
recently, by Dr. R. A. Torrey and Charla
M. Alexander, on their return from their
world-wide evangelical tour, Mr. Alexander
told an anecdote, much to the delight of his
audience, of how the late "Bub" Ingersoll
failed 'to convince one young man who
beard htm.
"This youth had Just come up to Chicago
from a farm in Indiana." said Mr. Alex
ander, "where be had left his old mother,
who waa a staunch Presbyterian. Soon
after the young man came to Chicago, Bub
Ingersoll spoke at the Auditorium, and the
country boy waa persuaded to go to hear
him by a former Indiana schoolmate, who
had become a great admirer of Ingersoll.
'You'll see how Colonel Ingersoll will
bowl over the doctrines of believers In the
Bible.' said the friend. 'It will open your
eyes some. I tell you.'
"The two yuung men duly went to the
meeting. Ingersoll was In excellent form,
and gave one of his usual 'adroit and In
