V. MORGAN, 1889. He was lat- er appointed sec- retary of the now defunct legation, sent to Seoul, Korea, and from there went to St. Petersburg, where he was a fledgling under the late Kthan Al- len Hitchcock, some time Secretary of the Interior, then Ambassador to the Czar. He was for three years confidential secretary to the late John Hay when that statesman and_ au- thor was Ambassador to Great Brit- ain, and so highly did Col. Hay re- gard Mr. Morgan's services that he sked for his transfer to the State Department when the Ambassador came to act as President McKinley's premier on the resignation of Judge | Hi William R.

Mr. Morgan is the beau par excellence of the American dip- lomatic service and is the same care- free bachelor he was when he fig- ured so conspicuously in the social life of the last years of McKinley and the more brilliant era of Theodore Roosevelt.

PEOPLES DRUG STORES i HTHHHLN PP Pushing Back the Wall i HE vast territory covered by these lines at once strikes the observer, and some conception may be had of the importance of the long distance telephone in the business world of the east.” This was the contemporary comment of a scientific journal on the long distance telephone serv- ice of 1890. The “vast territory” ended with Pittsburg on the west and Washington on the south. Along its frontier stood a wall of silence. No such barrier now confines the voice of man. To places and to people he has never even seen fly his wire-borne thoughts. Over distances which it would take him days to travel his words speed in an instant. The 90,000 miles of toll wire of 1890 have grown to more than 4,500,000 miles carrying a daily average of more than 1,600,000 long distance conversations. Thus has the wall of silence been pushed back to the edges of the continent. In its place is a nation-wide telephone service. THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE CO.
