This will glve us two connec- tions for the coast, one which we already have at Billings with the Northern Pacific, and another with the Great Northern at Great Falls, “This road, If built, will undoubtedly bPing the Burlington considerable addi- tional passenger trafic and will also mean & big freighting business, chiefly in lumber east and in general merchandise west." Assoclated Press dispatches persist that work is to begin on this connection on Jan- vary 6, next Monday. It fs sald that the in- tention is to rush thé work and complete the whole thing by the end of the year 1902, For this purpose It {s said to be the plan to start the grading not only from Billings, but from several intermediate points at the same {ime, probably Morino and Stanford, and then when everything is done up to the Iatter point to transfer all three gangs to the Great Falls end, where the most diff- cult work les. New Names for Stations, Changes in nomenclature of stations have Just been effected along the new line of the Unlon Pacific in Wyoming. In all cases the new names established have been such as bear some speclal significance to elther the character of the country, its history or tra- ditions of the locality. Most of theso changes are between Chey- enne and Laramie. Some are new stations, side got the banks, the newspaper office. Mr. Glick wants the opera house and At the point where the street opened the switch tracks of the Unfon Pacific are most numerous and it might even be nec- essary to build a viaduct. CENTRAL LABOR UNION MEETS Governor Savage Acknowledges Re- ceipt of Recommendation for Police Board Members At the meeting of the Central Labor union last night a letter from Governor Savage was recefved acknowledging the receipt of tho recommendations for appointments to places on the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners An_appeal for funds was received from the Cigar Makers unfon of Montreal.

Ryan, vice president of the union, was received and accepted. L. V. Guye resigned the position of chalrman of the law committee. Both men were defeated by the Barbers' union as delegates. A motion to make Mr. Guye au_honorary member of the union was lost. The board of directors of the Labor Tem- ple assoclation announced the leasing of the bullding at Fifteenth and Dodge streets and the secretary of the board was notified that the union would be ready to move as s00n a8 the new hall 1s ready. C. E.

GENERAL GROWTH AND CAPITAL INVESTED Chinatown Exchange the Wonder of San Francisco=Complicated Electrical Devices for Swell Homes, The Independent telephone movement is becoming extensive in several western states, notably In Kansas and Missourl Until 1897 the Bell company had the field to itself, but restricted its operations to large citles. Then began an era of local telophone systems for small towns. The commonest form was for enterprising young men to organize a company in their home town and eecure subscribers by personal sollcitation. They rented telephones at from $1 to $1.25 a month and were success- tul. The return of prosperous times assisted them greatly. The growth has been such that there, are now In Kansas alone 160 central stations with from one to four operators each The towns that formerly had fifty eub- acribers to the old systém now have from 250 to 400 to the new. By the extension of the lines among the residence districts the telephone bas become a necessity to busi- nees houses and those wha are in touch with the life of the towns. Along with the systems In the towns has ®gone on the long distance toll line bullding until there are 760 toll stations connected with the Independent telephone systems in the larger places. The commonest form 1s a central office in the county seat and toll lines to the smali towns. Frequently every town in the county, as well as several coun- try milk and postoffice stations, Is reached The usual plan is to run a party line con. necting several of the farms with the sta tlon. The farmers ring up each other or call the station and then talk to the county seat. This eervice also costs $1 a month and {g growing rapidly Growth of Telephone Business. The report of the American Telephone and Telegraph company gives some interesting | figures showing the annual growth of tele- phone service in the United States. Up to the close of 1591 the nugber of instruments installed was 512,407, Since that time the annual increase has been as follows 40,313; 1893, 13,771; 1804, 16,015; 1895, 1806, 97,651; 1807, 146,494; 1898, 20 6, 1000, 372,311, bringing the total in. stallations of that company up to 1,952,412 at the beginning of the present calendar year. The figures showing the growth of the system in 1901 are not yet avallable in the company’s officlal report, but are from other sources. Loss than twenty-five years ago the in- vention of the telephone was made known to the world. About & year later the first ex- | change was established in the United States, | which was also the dirst in the world. | Twenty years ago there were 47,850 tele- phone subscriders in the country and 26,714 miles of wire for telephone purposes. At the end of last year there were $00.880 tele- phone oxchange connections, equipped with the American company's instruments and 1,961,801 miles of wire in use for exchange | and toll line service. Of the magnitude of the telephone busi- ness at the end of the eyrrent year we have the following figures on the good authority of the Elgetrical Review: Capital Telephones vested Connected, Bell ..... | Independ Farmers' communicatin tems, ete. (ind).. Totals .. wene o $470,000,000 2,218,717 The best data obtalnable as to the growth of independent companies, not controlled by the American, show that they now have ex- changes in 2,811 cities and towns and serve, as shown above, 7 subscribers. This ndependent development represents | an fovestment of probably not far from | $150,400,000. Besides independent companies | operating exchanges, there are nearly 500,000 telephones in use by persons who do not need connection with a central station, as the service is private, as between mills and offices. The largest extension of the independent telephone business is in the state of Ohio, which has 226 exchanges and 155,664 inde- pendent telephones. In order, Indiana and Pennsylvania come next, having, respec- tively, 192 and 198 exchanges and 88,060 and 64,604 telephone connections. Home Luxuries. So many electrical appliances for saving trouble are Incorporated in the planning of the modern luxurious city house that a certaln amount of Intelligence and train- Ing is required to operate them and It is rather doubtful at times whether anybody but the special engineer retained to keep them in order gets much good out of them. Everyone knows of the complicated tele- phone systems, with an exchange in the basement and a branch In every room, the thousand varieties of lights, the system of freight and passenger elovators and the innumerable bells for incomprehensible purposes with which every fine house |s provided. Every now and then, however, @& new appliance appears and is imme- diately Installed in all the houses that have room left for it. i an arrangeme Ono of the latest t for hanging dressce In a closet. Each dress is hung on a flat frame, which is suspended from an arm projecting from one side of the closet. Ten or twelve dresses are hung up in this way and the mechanism of the supporting arm (s connected with a series of buttons on fhe other side of the room. There 1s a button for every frame and arm and op- posite the button is a label on which Is inscribed a description of the dress. Press the button and out swings the desired garment.

Wireleas I Commander Richardson Clover, naval at- tache of the United States embassy at Lon- don, who has just arrived in this country, while in London withessed the demomstra- tlon by the Inventor of the workings of the Gardner system of steering torpedoes on the surface of the water by means of the wireless transmiasion of electricity from a shore apparatus. Whether the system will be a success in the end Commander Clover sald he was unable to determine. He added, bowever, that the model worked ex- tly as the inventor claimed it would ‘The invention is on the same plan as tho Marconi system of wireless telegraph sald Commander Clover, “and has to be ap- plied on the surface of the water. The tor- pedo, according to he inventor's idea, is to run along the surface of the water, and has & must, two or three feet long, projecting upward from It. A wire, which s con- nected, with the motor and steering appa- ratus, runs to the top of the mast and re- es the electricity from the transmitter on the shore through the air. In the trans- witter there is a ball governor Ifke those on steam engines, which has two small round welghts attached to it.

For lnstance, if the welghts swing outward,and the fnventor the motor will start. By making the gov- ernor revolve quicker and causing the welghts to swing further outward the motor in the torpedo will stop. Another change in the governor will move the rudder from side to side, and still another change will cause the torpedo to explode. The advan- tages claiged by the lnventor for this in vention are absolute control of the torpedo at all times, and espectally that part of the invention which will control the movements of the torpedo when it is standing till.”” Commander Clover said that he could not further discuss the invention until after he had reported officially on it to the Navy de- partment at Washington Chinene ‘Phone Ixchange. The new Chinese Telephone exchange in San Francisco 18 open and ready for bus- Iness, after months of preparation. The exchange differs from all others in that city, or In the world, in that it s gorgeous with Orfental beauty and a marvel of luxu- rlous good taste and splendor. The tele- phone company has made it a polnt to make the new exchange one of the show places in Chinatown, reports the San Francisco Chroricle. 1t has spared no expense to ob- tain this result, and Chief Engineer Cantin under whose direction the work was done, feels Justly proud of the results of his labors. Tho new exchange is in the three-story building at 743 Washington street. The first floor Is occupled by a store, which has been refitted and decorated by its owners to be in accord with the remainder of the bullding. The entrance to the exchange is up & long Aight of narrow stairs, at the head of which is a gayly decorated sign In letters announcing the presence of phone, which, strangely enough, is one of the most popular of the American inventions among the Chinese. On entering the ante-room one i3 met by a smiling and bowing functionary, whose sole duty it is to make visitors welcom Close by the door is a richly carved tea wood table, on which are kept tobacco and clgatettos and a nest of tea bowls, while in a silk-covered caddy rests a large teapot, which 1s always kept filled with tea of a good quality. Tea and tobacco are always served to visitors, a complement of hospl- tality without which no: Chineso business transaction is complete. At the extreme end of this room, on an altar of considerable size and great rich- | ness, a richness of gold and sllver and red lacquer, rests a joss whose spe 1 duty is to guerd dnd care for the interests of those who send speech over the wires.

They are always on duty and the exchange is never closed from year's end to year's end The front room, in which is placed the switchboard, Is the most attractive feature | of the place.

RECEIVES TOKEN FROM POPE Chicago Man is Rewarded for Serve Behalf of Cathollo Interest owners' place Won Kee rings his CHICAGO, Jan. 3.—Theodore B. Thisle, chalrman of the United German Catholic socleties of Chicago, has been slgnally honored by the pope. Today he recelved a silver medal from his holiness in recogni- tlon of his service in propagating the Cath- olic faith ip America. Accompanylng the medal was @ letter from Cardinal Stein- huber. The honor was especially conferred to commemorate the speech which Mr. Thiele mado at the Auditorlum last May at the convention of the United German Catholic socleties. “The Independence of the Pope’ was the subject of his address. In present- ing the gift the pope first intimated that the apostolic blessing would be the most appropriate token of appreciation. In re- ferring<to this, in the letter which Cardinal Stelnhuber wrote, he is quoted as saying “That 1 send to Mr. Thiele and his asso- clates with all my heart.” Mr. Thiele has been actively engaged in fighting legislation believed by him to be detrimental to Catholic schools and was the leader in the opposition fo the adop- tion of free text books by the Chicago Board of Education.

WILL LET WOMEN NAME THREE TICKETS Has Selected Four Who Are to Make Up Lists of Men They Would Prefer on the Board. At noon yesterday Mayor Kelly attached his signature to the ordinance creating & library board and during the day the doe- ument was sent to the printers. After its publication for six times the act will be- come a law and the board may be ap- pointed. This delay in the slgning of the ordinance will preclude the possibility of Mayor Kelly making any appointments at the next meeting of the city council. On account of the dissension raised by the report that Mayor Kelly would appoint five women on the board the mayor has decided to let the matter rest with the four women he has already named. These women will welect five men and present the names to the mayor. At a meeting held Thursday afternoon it was decided best for the women to make but a one, two, three list. This will probably be doné. In the firet List the names of five men whom the women want will be given, the second list will, of course, contain the second cholce and the last )ist the third choice. This is done for the reason that some of the mem- bers of the councll will not take kindly to the selection of the women managers. In the selection of members the wards will be represented as nearly as possible. At least one member will be chosen from each of the eix wards, the remaining three to be selected at large. Should the appointments made by Mayor Kelly be turned down it is understood that another ordinance will be drafted creating a board composed of nine men. £ Poster 0 nance. Yesterday afternoon Mayor Kelly at- hed hig signature to the bill poster ordi- nce, which has been hanging fire for some months. This ordinance is certalnly a “freak,” but etill it can scarcely be worse than some others ground out by certain local attorneys. In the first place the office of city bill poster is created, the Incumbent to hold office for two years from the date of ap- pointment, or until the expiration of the term of the appointive power. The bill poster Is to supervise the posting of all showbills, posters, window hangers, etc., placed on slgnboards, public places, vacant bulldings and on walls p While the ordinance declares it unlawtul for anyone other than the recognized city bill poster to place signs, bills and so forth, no penalty is provided. Further, the bill poster I¢ to serve without compensation from the city, but is permitted to charge “the usual fee,” whatever that is, as com- pensation for his services. Sectidn 5 of this ordinance provides that the provisions shall in no way affect South Omaha business men, fraternal lodges, local assoclations or resi- dents. Mayor Kelly Is being censured on all sides for having put the city fo the ex- pense of printing such an ordinance, espe- clally when thero does not seem to be any possibility of its belng enforced. i On Monday night next the city council will receive bids for an issue of $1,600 dl trict Improvements bon Th bonds will bear date of January 1, 1502, will draw 6 per cent interest, and will run ten years As the Investment ls considered a good one it is expected that several bond buyers will be present. The bidding will be done in open session and the bonds will be sold to the highest bidder. No bids less than par will be considered, and consequently the bidding will be on the premium. fet Improvement Bondns, Advoeating Vacelnation. On Monday next the public schools will open again after the usual hollday tlon. In response to a request from the of Health, certain rules regarding vaccination will be observed. The plan Is to have each pupll present a certificate of vaccination before being allowed to attend Of course those who were vaccinated last year successfully or the year before will not be required to be vac- cluated again, but these must produce cer- tificates to it that this rule Is rigidly enforced when the schools open next week. Peathouse Pl At yesterday afternoon's meeting of the Board of Health, City Engineer Beal sub- mitted sketches of the proposed pesthouse. This bullding is to cost $1,000, the amount to he paid by the county, while the eity will appropriate money to maintain it. The hospital as proposed will be twenty- four feet In width and forty feet in length. The walls will be constructed of brick and the floor will be cement. There is one ward for women and three for men.. Then there is a room for the nurses and a kitchen. The idea is to employ @ man and his wife who are immune, to take charge of the place.

In case where walvers were not slgned the property would be benefited by the grading and consequently there would be no damages. This alley will be graded as soon as arrangements can be completed.
