Wanna-rots, Feb. 11th, 1884.
Dun GAIITTE :—Thcro is probably no
one measure now engaging the attention
of Congress and the country, as well, as
the earnest efiorts that are now being put
forth to overcome in some degree,
and in the interests‘of the people, that
oollossallmonopoly of this hemisphere, the
Western Union Tolepraph company. 011
Thursday, Hon. Wm. M. Evarta came
over from New York with a $5.000
retainer in his pocket, and made one of
his masterly and lawyerly arguments be-
before the Senatecommitteo on postofiices
and post roads in favor of the poor and
persecuted Western Union, which, in
fact, had cost its original stockholders
five millions and been watered to eighty
millions, and upon which enormous capi-
. Is] it continues to pay large dividendsand
reserve surplus enough to buy up any line
attempting to rival it. Mr. Evarta is a
fascinating orator and submitted to a sort
of a quiet and genteel cross examination
by the committee, which impressed all
listeners that he had succeeded in making
more apparent than ever, the enormous
overcharges above cost the people are
paying for telegraph service.
Senator Hill, chairman of the committee,
has a theory that the government could
send all messages, regardless of distances,
forthe uniform rate of a cent a word.
Gardner Hubbard, the father of the Postal
Telegraph scheme and a man who has
paid more exhaustive attention to the
matter in all parts ;of the world than any
other, made an argument before the com-
mittee Friday, in good part replying to
Mr. Evarta, but clearly demonstrated that
the one cent plan would not be awiso one.
He stated that it actually cost the Western
Union more to send and deliver a message
to many small points within twenty miles
of New York than to send the same mes.
sage from New York to Chicago, or even
to San Francisco. But he showed that if
t people owned a telegraph system of
eir own, and caused their messages to
be transmitted at or near actual cost, as
they do their letters, that the cost would
be so cheap, as compared with the present
charges of the Western Union, that the
business of transmitting intelligence by
wire,-instead of by letter, would increase a
thousand fold and more, within a very
short period. A history of the stock-
watering operations of the Western Union
was given and the conclusion drawn‘that
when the public must pay a dividend on
this fictitious value of the plant, it was
forced to pay too high a rate for the ser-
vice rendered. Mr. Hubbard also showed
that the boasted impartiality of the West-
ern Union in sending all messages in the
same order as they were received was
true only in theory, not in fact. The
power of the WesternUnion to ruin news-
papers or other business enterprises which
did not implicitly obey its will was
referred to, and several instances were
cited to prove it. He declared that it
had power to crush any portion of the
press that offends it. Mr. Garrett, of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company,
was before the committee and made some
startling revelations, and many wise
and practical statements. In answer to a
question, he said his company sold its
interest in the American Union .company,
which cost them about one milli'lm, to Jay
Gould for nine millions! ,When asked
what would prevent his company from
selling the line it is now constructing if
again offered eight or ten times its cost,
he replied that the Western Union. was so
enormously watered that it couldn’t load
itself down much further'in that way
without swamping, as it would be unable
to keep up rates high enough to earn
dividends large enough to cover such
increase of capital, and that his company
believed it could and would make more
money by doing the telegraph business
itself at such reductions of rates as it
could well afford-hits lines having only to
earn dividends on actual cost; that they
were sure of securing a large proportion
(he thought seventy-five per cent.) of the
telegraph business within" the circuit of
their plant, and thus the Western Union
could not aflord to buy or they to sell.
Naturally Mr. G.di:f not want the govern-
ment to start into the business of telegra-
phy, but generally offered to establish
stations at postofflces and to send messages
at rates to be determined on by the post-
ofllce department, or would sell out its
plant to‘ the government at actual cost, in
case no other conditions could be mutually
agreed upon. Theonly thing needed is
Wit on this subject, and wuen that is
fully spread abroad the people will de-
mand the“ postal telegraph system so int.
pcrativciy that there will be no resisting
the popular will". One of the artful
“dodges“ resorted to by the Western
Union, was to send to every senator and
member of the House a written copy of
the names, residences and amounts of
stock held in that company by residents
of their respective states and districts. It
is the old, poor widow and orphan dodge
of the railroad monopolies, when threat-
ened with legislation in the interests of
. the people who support them. As a rule
this deft attempt at menace has created a .
sentiment in and about Congress just the
opposite expected and desired y the
iriaguatcs of the Western Union. The
Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph company
is making rapid strides in its rivalry with
the WesternUniOn, and there seems no
reason to doubt that. thus far, at least, the
competition is Irene-st and uncompromis-
ion. The Baltimore and Ohio lines are
rapidly extending over the country, and
is winning to its employ many of the best
man in'thc ‘Westc‘rn Union. Its latest
expansion has been the purchase of the
telegraph system along the line of the
West Shore route to Chicago, giving it a
valuable service between that city and
New York. In addition to the above it
has also purchased the National Telegraph
company, the Manhattan District Tole-
graph company in New York city, and
' completed negotiations for the control of
a telegraph system from St. Louis to New
Orleans, and various pornta in Texas.
Mr. Garrett,'the president of the company,
speaks in the most confident terms of the
prosperity of the enterprise. It is found.

ahead even in the House while its pros-
pects in the Senate are so small as practi-
cally to dismiss the whole scheme to the
domain of speculation rather than legis-
lation. As a battlc’cry the Morrison bill

Gen. Sherman reached Friday the limit
of age which by law terminates the active
service of army officers, and consequent-
ly goes on the retired list. In anticipa-
tion of the date he turned over the duties
of the} general of the army some months
ago to Gen. Sheridan, so that no change
markedthe day apart from the official
recognition of the retirement.
Unless some extraordinary contingency
shall arise to call our most experienced
officers again into service, Gen. Sherman’s
military career is closed; The Veteran has
earned an old age of peace and rest, for
his service has been long and creditable.
It began with his commission as a second
lieutenant of artillery in July, 1840, so
that he has worn the sword for forty-three
years. In 1850 he obtained his captaincy
and at the breaking out of the civil war
was made colonel and brigadier general
of volunteers. The next year, 1862, he
was comissioned major general of v.1un
teers; July 4th, 1863, was made brigadier
general in the regular army; major gen.
era] in 1864 ; lieutenant general in 1866;
and general of the army 1869. And there
are some who think that on the 4th of
March, 1885, he will be be promoted once
more to be commander in chief not. only
of the army, btit of the navy also.
OYSTER war:
The Star here thus saturises the excit-
ing oyster war now raging in Chesapeake
Bay ‘and its Maryland and Virginia tribu-
taries: u
“The dauntiess pirates of Pocomoke
Sound were disturbed a day or two ago
at their oyster dredging by'the constabu—
lary, but, as in Girofle-Girofla and other
operas, the police only met the bold out-I
laws to be theirs. In the present case the
pirates received their visitors with deris-
ion and buckshot, and so warmly that the
officers of the law threw up their hands
and begged the privilege of going back
home in safety—which the tnsgnauimous
pira‘tes let them do on condition that they-
would stay there.
It is understood that Maryland, undis-
mayed by this Bull Run, is mobilizing
her marine and will .soon dispatch a
flotilla to the scene of war. There is no
truth in the report that the state has
applied to the Navy Department for a
fleet with which to restore order, as it is
known that it will be some months yet
before the new cruisers are ready for ser:
vice, and to send any of our present ships
to the Pocomoke would only irritate the
pirates and expose the brave officers and
men who composed the expedition to.
their spite. Oyster dredges, to be sure,
are not reckoned, commonly, as formid-
able ships of war, but, as between them
and the vessels of our navy the odds
would be so heavy in favor of the pirates
that a combat would simply be the use.
less sacrifice’of brave men.
Virginia, mtan-while, is taking steps to
provide herself with a navy to drive the
pirates off the beds. A bill has been
introduced which meets the views of
both governor and legislature, who bury
which provides for a fleet, to consist of a
steamer and three launches, to be suitably
equipped and armed, and to be manned
by a regularly organized force. These
vessels are to cruise in the region of the
oyster beds, and the captains are author-
ized to make arrests at their discretion
and with whatever show of force is
necessary. A prize-money clause further
stimulates the patriotism of officers and
men." ~

A New Armory for Norwalk.
in 1882 the State senate passed a bill,
subsequently approved by the governor,
providing that in all towns of the State
in which two or more military companies
are located, suitable armory accommodu
'tions for the members of the companies
might be built or purchased by the state, f
not over $50,000 to be expended in any
one year, and the total expenditure not
to exceed $200,000. The commission
appointed to carry out the provisions of
the act Tiave purchased sites in New
Haven, Waterbury, Bridgeport and New
London. The same commission also con-
tracted for the erection of armories in the
former cities, which were completed last .
year. The cost of constructing the New f'
Haven armory was $68,000,11nd $25,306..
38 was cxpended on the one in Waterbury.
Lots in Bridgeport and New London
were purchased for $10,228.24, leaving a
balance at about $95,000 of the appro-
priation. The commission took no steps
towards constructing the remaining
armories, mainly for‘ the reason that
those towns entitled to them by the act——
Hartford, Bridgeport, New London. New
Britain, Norwalk and Willimantic—can-
not have suitable ones built for the sum
now standing to the credit of the
appropriation. Adjutant-(lensral Couch
in his last annual report to the Legisla-
turc,.recommcnded an additional appro-
priation of $50,000, believing that that
amount would be required to carry out the
intention of the General Assembly. T his
amount, $145,000, seems inadequate, in
view of the fact that nearly half the
original appropriation has already been
expended in the construction of armories
in the two cities of New Haven and
Waterbury. Since the passage of the bill
the matter has been considerably dis-
cussed and agitated by the officers and
members of Company I" of the borough.
and Company D. of the city. The high
standing of the two Norwalk companies
in military circles, coupled with
the fact that their membership has
nearly reached the limit allowed by law,
and the possibility of another company
being organized in the near future, argue
strongly in favor of better and more
sommodious quarters. Believing that
these requirements can only be met by a
union armory such as the state is author-
ized to provide, senator Hyatt, at the
instance of the officers of Companies 1).
and F, presented a resolution to the
senate, on Tuesday, giving the governor,
adjutant-general ‘and quartermaster-gen
oral full power to build an a'rmory in
Norwalk, and appropriating 828,000
therefor. The :resoiution was referred
to the committee on military, and there
is every reason for believing that it will
be returned with a favorable report and
passed by the senate. In that event work
on the building will in all probability be
commenced early in the summer, and the
structure completed and dedicated in the
fall, While the matter of selecting a
site remains with the commission, their
action in regard to the matter will, in all
probability, be governed to a great extent
by the wishes of the officers andmembere
of the two companies, who already have
several pieces of property in view. The
matter is one well calculated to create
enthusiasm, not only among the members
of the military, organizations of the
tows, but among the people generally.

James Higgins, alias Dick Hadley, who
escaped from Sheriff Porter, of Litchfleld
county, last fall while being taken to
Wethersficld, to serve a sentence of ten
years for burglary, was recaptured in
Baltimore Saturday by Inspector Hender-
son of the post office department, for 1
having robbed the post office at Annapolis
of $6,000 in cash and stamps llii: preced-
ing Sunday night. Previous to this the
post office at Harford, in the same state,
was burglariised. Evidence. has becn re-

Higgins of those two robberies, although
he protests his innocence. Saturday
Sheriff Porter, Deputy Peck and Post-

How to Reduce Ono's Weight.
The Graphic .- A woman weighing 200
pounds called on a physician for advice.
He gave her the following instructions:
1. For breakfast eat a piece of beef or
mutton as large as your hand, with a slice,
of broad twice as large. For dinner the
same amount of meat, or, if preferred,
farinaceous or vegetable food in the form
of bread or potato. For supper, nothing.
2. Drink only when greatly, annoyed
with thirst; then a mouthful of lemonade
without sugar. ' ‘ ,
3. Take three times a week some form
of bath'in which there shall be immense
perspiration. The Turkish bath is best.
You must work, either in walking or
some other way, several hours a day.
4.‘ You must rise early in the morning
and retire late at night. Much sleep fat-
.ens people.
5. The terrible corset you have on.
which compresses the centre of the body,
making you look a great deal fatter than
you really are,must be taken of, and you
must have a corset which any dressmakcr
can fit to you—a corset for the lower part
of the abdomen—which will raise this
great mass and support it.
She followed the advice for six months,
and trained herself down to 152 pounds.
j “ Come Home."
I A poor woman lost her only daughter
in the vicious whirlpool depths of London
life. The girl left a pure home, to be
drawn into the gulf of guilty misery and
abandonment. The mother. with a break
ing heart, went to Dr. Bernardo, and tell-
to find the lost one. The genial Doctor
1 said: ‘ -
" Yes, I can ; get your photograph taken,
frame a good many copies, write under
the picture ‘ Come home,’ and send them
to me."
The Doctor sent the photographs to the
gin places, music halls. and other places
which wretched outcasts are in the habit
of frequenting, and got them hung in con-
spicuous places. One night the girl, with
some companions in sin, as she entered
one .of these dens of iniquity, saw her
i tation written beneath” To whom was it
t addressed? To her ? Yes. She new by
l that token that she was forgiven, and that

to every wanderer. “ Come home i" and

Putting Things Away.
The children should be trained to put
i, their things away in an orderly manner
and in the assigned places. There should
i be a closet or a set of shelves for the
children, and each should have his or her
i place to which his right should be pro-
; tectod. Thus the good mother saves
; trouble for herself, and, which is more
important in every good mother’s mind.
saves trouble for her boys and girls, who
will carry the habits of the nursery into
the school—room, the counting-room and
the parlor; in short, into life.

SHINGLES.
It is just as easy to tell what is in a barrel b lookin at '
as it is to tell the quality of shingles by looking at theg outgrgeogfisfie‘;
bunch. And yet nme-tenths of the shingles are bought from druminers
Without being seen until delivered. I think, I sell the best shingles in
this market and as a natural result, I sell more than [all others put to-
gether. I seldom buy without a personal examination of the mills the
mode of manufacture, the standard of inspection and sorting, and,the
secured and can beisecured only by the brand of a reliable maker, as
very many are taken in from country mills and sold under a single brand
