THE OMAHA SUNT) AY BEE: NOVEMBER IP, lflOfi. In the Field ol Electricity UK priirt f a competing t le phone rompmiv In Chrig has Induced tho H.'ll compunv to com -ilnwn a peg or two onl ncknowl tdge that It Ik lint Infallible or Invincible. For several years patrons of the company have been In a state of re bellion against extortionate tolls. Kvrry suburban town gathered Into (Greater Chi cago provided an extra toll for the com pany, notwithstanding the wiping out. of boundary lines. Tlis.? iarate connecting toll aggravated the situation. A le-ral buttle in the courts followed", resulting In the defeat of the company. The courts held that all charges In excess of 1150 per year for unlimited service were unlawful and that tho company had no right to sub divide the elty and rhntge an extra fee for connections. Since that time the com pany had been In a receptive mood. It Is willing:, nay, anxious to listen to r?on and "do the right thlnK-" Its franchise Is running out and an extension Is eagerly Bought. Counlmen of Chicago never find the "line busy" when they seek informa tion. Between the new and the old a lively contest prevails, with the outcome uncer tain. The Bell company proposed a reduction of rates In return for a twenty-year ex tension of Its franchise. The new rates, which affect l:1,i"" telephones, measured service, ar as follows: The ten-party line residence service is abolished ajid without any advance In rates will be changed from ten-party to four party, the guaranteed rate of o cents per day remaining the same. The ten-party business telephone at a guaranteed rate of la cents per day will be changed to two-party lines at a guaranteed rate of 10 cents per day with one mess igo, or a guaranteed rate of 15 cents per day with three message. The four-party residence telephones with a guarantee of 10 cents per day will be re duced to 5 cents per day. The two-party guaranteed rate of 20 cents per day Is reduced to 15 cents per day. A new two-party rate of 10 cents per day with one message, is established. The single line nickel guarantee of no cents per day is reduced to 20 cents per day. The guaranteed rate of 20 cents per day with two calls for single lines Is reduced to 15 cents per day. October 1 there were 6!),606 telephones operated on the prepay ment oi- nickel-ln-the-slot plan, nil of which are affected by those reductions. The present message rate of to per month for fifty calls and graded rates for excess calls ranging from u cents to 3 cents Is re duced to $o per month and 100 calls, the next 200 calls within the month being at 3 cents and all further messages within the mouth at 2 cents tuch.

Howard Kelly, profei sor of g myol ogy at the John II' pkins uiilveitlty, whs on the Campania, of the C'unard line, when he received a message through the air tliut Mrs. I'avis, a patient, had been operated on and his supervision of the case was urgently desired. When the Campania reached quarantine Captain lYItchard decided that the weather was too sejually to tako the ship up to Its dock until the next day. Dr. Kelly's desire to reach his patient was not to be thwarted, however. Communication was established with Colonel Olarkson, surveyor of the port, and he In turn got his deputy, Mr. Bishop, to inform the customs authorities at Wash ington that rfd tape should be let down so that Dr. KelK-y could leave the ship. This was quickly accomplished und a tug with two Inspectors took Dr. Kelly to tho Battery. There he sot into a subway ex press, rode to Seventy-second street, where a cab was waiting, and soon was at the hi dslde of Mrs. Davis. The operation had Just been performed, but Dr. Kelly's minis trations were rendered and the patient Is on the road to recovery. Mono-Rail felectrU. I.lne. Sixty-five miles nn hour Is t tie speed which may be mode possible by tho adop tion of the mono-rail elevated railroad system, urged by Its inventor for a line from the Brooklyn bridge to Coney Island. A large part of the money necessary to build the road has been promised by J. 8. Bache 4 Co. In a letter to the Rapid Transit commission, ' provided the city ' grants a franchise on favorable terms. F. H. Behr, the Inventor, declared that a speed of sixty-five miles an hour had been maintained in Berlin and that In Brussels a speed of ninety miles an hour had .been attained with perfect safety. His statements were substantiated by Gus tily Lindenlhul. former bridge commis sioner, who- declared that the mono-rail system did not possess the many objec tionable features to be found In the opera tion of the regular elevated systems. James Ramsey. Jr., former president of the Wabash railroad, pronounced the sys tem entirely feasible. Alexander E. Orr. chairman of the com mittee on plans, promised to consider the matter at ohce. M Klectrlc Carpet Sweeper. Among the newer of the now many eleq trlcol devices for household ; use Is the electric carpet sweeper.

The rate on trunk lines in private, ex changes are reduced from SM to. til per year, and the cost of message and pri vate exchanges, now 3 cents per call, Is reduced to 2 cents per call after the first 300 messages sent In each month. fan. The power Is turned on or off bv means of a plug attached to tho grip end of the sweeper handle. The brush of the electric carpet sweeper turns much more rapidly than that of- the 1 hand operated sweeper. , ' The electric sweeper can, of course, be ' used wherever an electric current Js avail able, but Its principal use Is fotind In the larger rooms of houses .and In hotels and Two rates providing for unlimited nies-, other buildings, wherever the floor spaces sages will continue for private residences, are more extensive. The present rate of $100 per annum for ingle lines Is reduced to $72. The two-party residence rate of $75 Is re duced to $t)0 per annum, and the four-party unlimited service for residences Is abol ished. This class Is advanced without changing the price to the two-party service class at $5 per month. The rate lor extension telephones in resi dences having unlimited service Is reduced from $15 to $12. Wireless tails tbe Doctor. How efficacious arc modern Inventions waa demonstrated when a physician, re ceiving a wireless notllloation on board ship of the urgent need of his presence at the bedside of a patient In New York, employed by proxy a long distant telephone to Wash ington city to enable him to dissipate quar antine regulations, steamed up the bay In a Klrrtrleltv in the Home. In a $J.eix or $4,000 house, -says Cassler's Magailne, It Is a very common matter to wire for electric lights, but by giving tbe subject a little further attention with your electrical contractor and the architect. It Is possible to arrange outlets for lighting socket heating devices at very little extra expense. 8uch receptacles would be taken from off the lighting wire In a very simple manner. Tho cost of operating later, at lighting ratea, would not be large, for the r (vi son that the electrical devices which will be used on , such a circuit consume only a small amount of electricity and are generally used for only short Intervals. They would comprise, for example, the chafing dish, the coffee percolator, heating pad, cigar lighter, shaving mug, curling Iron, baby milk wanner, small frying pan and many others. Gossip About Noted People M Secretary Shaw's Portfolio. kl. SHAW has told Mr. Roosevelt a thousand and one stories, not stories of elate, but stories of human Interest, and the president hits retorted In part In kind, but only In part, for neither the president of the T'nlted States nor any other man in Washington can ke-p the pace of the story telling of the secretary of the treasury. He tells stories for recreation. He Is a hard worker bia critics don't deny this and It seems to he his fixed creed that If a man can tlnd a means of recreation that In cludes the giving of recreation to another man. It's a double blessing. Doubtless this Is why It Is that Mr. Phaw always tries to tell a good story. He doesn't always suc ceed, but his average is away above that of nine-tenths of the men who earn livings telling yarns on the stage or In print. For five years almost, says the Chicago Post.

The cathedral of Trondhjem may well be called the most noted tcclcMusileal edifice In Scandlnavi. For richness of architectural design, for beauty and exactness of details, for sym metry arid grandeur. It would be hard to eiual. Its rich historical associations are everywhere interwoven with Norway's story, and Its fate has shared the changing fortunes of the country.' Christianla, the present capital of Nor way, situated at tho head of Christiania fjord, has 0,000 Inhabitants. The seat of the government of Norway and the resi dence of the king are in Christianla. It Is a beautiful city with many small parks, exceptionally fine promenades, well built, large churches and other splendid public buildings. It has a mountain suburb close to It of surpassing attractions, as a placa of residence or of temporary resort, and from Its lofty summit all of Christianla can be plainly seen, together with tbe sur roundings of the city, and far out on the beautiful Christianla fjord. I vis' ted the Young Men's Christian asso. cialions of Tromso, Trondhjem and Christl imla. The association at Tromso Is the niOft northern association in the world. It has rooms of its own attached to the chapel of the Lutheran church, valued at lo. I addressed a meeting of Its mem bers and afterwards held a conference with some of Its officers and princlpul mem bers, and held personal Interviews with Its president, a young lawyer and practical man. I presented to them the greetings I had with me and tried to afford them the mot-t practical suggestions la accord with the fundamental principles of our I met In Joint session officers and leading members uf both a-ssoclutiiii and spent a long time with them emphasizing the funda mental principles of the association, In cluding among other things the unity of purpose and action and the multiplication of volunteer personal effort In reaci n;g and saving young men and young women.

Tho Trondhjem Young Men's Chris tian association Is now without a general secretary, but will secure one. At Christiania on Sunday morning, Au gust 15, I attended the largest church In the oity. The sermon was by one of the most devoted and popular pastors of the city. The church was crowdtd, so that many persons had to stand. It was also a communion service, in which I was per sonally Invited to participate. I enjoyed It very much. In the afternoon I met Dean (Pastor) Christian Hall, member of the worlds committee of Y'oung Men's Christian associations, chairman of the Norwegian national committee and presi dent of the Christiania association. Though temporarily in a sanatorium, be Is a noble specimen of manhood. He heartily wel comed me personai:y, as he had done by letter before. I had a most sutlstatary conference with him.
