SOME NEW TELEPHONE IDEAS- There Will Be a Big Consolidation ol Indo pondcnl Lines, It lias liccn given out that n pre liminary inspection is beini; made of the telephone systems independ ent of the Hell lines. It is proposed to organize a central operating long distance company of them. There is $12,500,000 invested in this man ner, and the lines are all to be united under one company, capita lized at filst at $50,000,000, then later at $200,000,000. It is not geticrally known, but there are more independent tele phones in existence in the United States than Hell 'phones. There are 2,500,000 independent tele phonos in use, to 2,000,000 Hell telephones. The purpose of the in spection is to form consolidation of these independent companies, so far as the long-distance end of the business is concerned. The above is an idea advanced some time ago, by Senator Kline, who is vice president of the Con solidated Telephone Company, of this State. The system to be adopt ed is to have an exclusive line f.r long distance talking without being annoyed with the different ex changes on the route. This system will also apply to near by cities, giving the right to & person to talk to Philadelphia direct, without disturbing the ex changes at cither Mauch Chunk or Allentown on the 'ine. It is a sys tem that the business man has long looked for, as it will save him many vexatious delays and annoyance. In sptaking of the automatic system of the Consolidated, which is supposed to do away with the telephone girls, Senator Kline said that there was not much in that rnmor for it would be almost im possible to dispense with the girls in the different exchanges. Kven if the Automatic system would prove ill right, it would be necessary to have the girls employed in some capacity around the exchanges. The automatic system is a thing hat is only being experimented .vith yet, and no person can now cell with what results it can be perated. He intimated that tele phone companies will be continually jresented with new devices for the betterment of the service, and that vhen a company finds out that vhich will nioiit benefit in that lirection, they are apt to adopt it. "At present," he said, "we are crying to make more perfect our .ystem in this city, as it is not satis actory to ourselves or patrons, and .hat we expect to have done as oon as possible."

Dixon, the State Health Commissioner made a visit to Nanticoke Tuesday, where there are now nearly 140 typhoid fever cases in the emergency hospital and throughout the borough. lie made a general inspection and had a con sultation with Dr. Johnson, of Philadelphia, as to the condition of affairs.

A Bridal Party. A cab stood in front of the court house on Wednesday morning, and the occupants were evidently the members of a bridal party. There were two young ladies and a young man One of the young ladies wore a bridal veil and carried a large bouquet, and there was no mistak ing her for any other than the bride. The groom was in the court house having a mistake corrected in the marriage license which had been made out by a justice.

SiiARi'Uiss, Secretary. JkniRtic Htt'p is Scarce. T'10 Demand Is Far Greater Than the) Supply In the opinion of tiie managers of the employment agencies of Phila delphia nnd also judged by the ex periences of the householders in this town, who have recently endeavor ed to secure household help, girls tor domestic service have never been so scarce a thty are at the present time. The manager of a large employ ment agency in Phila., sll: "I havt been in the business for the last twenty years and never in all my experience has help been so scarce. That is, women and girls for domestic service. I cannot ac count for their scarcity except that girls nowadays have specialties and do not engage for general house work as they used to. "One girl will want a position as cook, another as chambermaid and still others as child's nurses. Then many of the women and girls who ten years ago would have been glad of a good home with fair wages, now get situations in storesas sales women, in factories running vat ions kinds of machines, and typewriting has spoiled many a good house servant and you will be surprised to know that many girls are in the choruses of many musical plays who years ago would have been playing tunes on the washboard." The owner of another agency said: "Yes, there is a scarcity of house servants. I never had such a difficult time obtaining help for my customers. One reason, I think is that the educational tacilities in the country are so much greater than they used to be that the girls who used to come to the city look ing for work a'e now contented to stay at home. The men with whom they associate are better educated than they were twenty years ago and the girls settle down and get married. "If only some of the girls who have to grub from morning till night lor their bread and butter would 1 decide to go into domestic service they would find their lot much 1111-; proved. Instead of sleeping in the garret and getting up at 4 o'clock to milk cows they would have a com-1 fortable room, pleasant work and ' would earn good wages. The question is getting to be a serious one for families who keep j house and every day in the news papers are six columns of help wanted in the domestic line to one 1 of situations asked for.

The sinking of Admiral Togo's battleship, the Mikasa, and the loss of six hundred of her gallant sailors is one of those strange chances ol fortune that no one can account for.

The Massachusetts Committee of One Hundred on reciprocal trade, which is composed of many promi nent Republicans, has issued a call to Republican voters to join with them to obtain the adoption of a plank in the platform of the coming Republican State convention, favor ing a revision of the tariff. Repu blican voters are asked to forward a petition to the convention to in sert the following in the platform: " We demand that hides, coal, iron ore, lumber and wood pulp le placed by Congress on the free list, and that duties upon manufactured and other articles be reduced wherever existing duties are higher than are needed for any just pur pose of protection." The committee declares that the extreme protectionist interests have so far influenced the "machine" of the Republican party or the State that it does not intend to have ex pression given to the tariff revision sentiment, but, instead, to suppress at the convention any genuine de claration in favor of it aud to nomi nate one or more candidates known to be hostile to the policy. Republicans are urged to nomi nate candidates who favor tarilT changes and closer trade relations with Canada and Newfoundland. OASTOXIZA. Btnth yTli8 Kind You Have Always Bought BlfBltUt The Exceptional Man Progressive Employers and Business are Always Looking lor Him Men Progressive ctnployct s are always looking for the exceptional in in or ' woman, the one who can step out ! from the crowd and do things in an j oiigmal way, who can economize in proeessis, who can facilitate' business, says Success for S.'ptcni- I ber. They are always looking for the earmarks of l.-ad nship, of su perior ability. They are looking for the progressive employee with new ideas who can help them to bo more of a siucess. They know very well that they can get any number of automatons multitudes who will d. a thing jut well enough to keet) their places but they are looking ror originality, individuality, lor up to dale ' meth ods. They want employees who can put things through with vigor and determination, without lagging, whini-g, apologising or asking question. Nothing can bar the advancement of employees of this kind. Nobody can keep ther.i down. If by chance someone above you is acttnlly trying to prevent your promotion for selfish reasons, it ought to be very flattering to you to know th t he is trying to keep yon back, and should make you all the more determined to get ahead. It is a pretty good indica tion tint there is some reason for his fear, and that you have mater ial iu you for a better place. This should encourage you to redouble your efforts to do your work so well, to stamp such superiority upon everything you touch, to acquit yourself so much better than the man who is trying to keep you down to be so much pleasanter, so much more of a man, that it will be only a question of time when you will get thi position you are striv ing for, or perhaps a better one.
