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. Tills new message

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.

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.
