MiUuUlOTtN Wanted, ami Help Wanted.

The DAILY NEWS will print advertisements of persons wanting work or situations, and of those needing help of any kind, without charge—such advertisements not to exceed 30 words. Tit is is proposed because it is believed it will aid many who need and desire work, and we cordially invite all interested to avail themselves of the means offered. It must be remembered that letters through the mail are not delivered to initial* only. If initials are used, the letter should be directed to the care of some individual, firm, or postoffice box, and if for city delivery, the postage is two cents. The DAILY NEWS has boxes at the office for the reception of letters addressed to its care, and such letters will be delivered only to the advertiser holding a check for the box number.

A NEW IDEA.

The Dally News Call Boxes and Messengers. To facilitate the collection of city news, as well as to place advertising patrons in close connection with the office, tlie publishers have placed Call Boxes at different points throughout the city, each of which will be visited several times during the day, from 7 o'clock AM till 2:00 by the Messenger Boys of the DAILY NEWS. These Boxes have been put up for the purpose of affording a place of deposit for information of local news, and we cordially invite any person who has knowledge of any matter of public interest happening in bis or her vicinity to write out the facts and drop it in one of our Boxes. Attached to each Box will be found tablets of paper. Sign your name to your communication, for the knowledge of the editpr only, its a guarantee of gpod faith on your part. We innist on this items not nigiud by a known responsible name are of the value of waste paper, and will be treated accordingly. The advertising patrons of the DAILY NB\VS will also find these Boxes a convenience, as they can drop their favors therein, and thereby save a walk to the office.

Communications, orders for the DAILY NEWS by carrier or mail, advertising copy or information of any kind Intended to reach th& office, can be handed to the DAILY NKWS Messenger Boys, as they pass to and fro through the streets. They will be known by their blue caps with DAILY NEWS in white letters on the front, and Message Pouches of light-colored leather. The names of our Messenger Boys are: GKORGK M. SPARKS and WA LI AM I. POWER. They are, while on duty for the DAILY NEWS, and wearing the badge of the paper, its accredited representatives, and we trust they will, in their business relations, merit the commendation of our patrons, as well as ourselves, for attention to their duties.

The New York Daily Witness has ceased to run. The Witness was a socalled religious paper. If piety and dullness are synonymous, the Witness had a right to the name. It made a weak and stale rehash of the morning papers for its news, while its religion consisted in trite aphorisms and stale remarks. There is such a thing as vital piety^ but the Witness did not appear to know it. Having nothing to oner the public in exchange for nickels, it won no nickels, and per consequence it died. —Charges recently made, in newspapers that Senator Vest has been speculating heavily in the stock of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad will probably lead to an investigation. He has had ample op-' portuniti$s for nursing stock of that road, he being chairman of the Senate sub-com-mittee on Territories having the bill to open the Indian Territory in charge, and upon whose action in reporting a oill adverse to the Indians, the late rise in that stock was due. The fact that Vest has been a constant visitor to a prominent stockbroker's office throughout this session has added fuel to this scandal. -—Saturday morning a company of 94 colored exoausters arrived at Greencastle, from North Carolina, and while awaiting transportation to homes in the country, were lodged in the colored church.

They were able to sell enough to pay their fare here, though they were compelled to leave most of their goods. There were 34 men in the party, the others being women and children, the families of the negroes who have been in Greencastle for some time.

Mrs 8. was aged 62 years, and has been a resident of this city for many years.

Funeral services were held at her late residence this afternoon at 1 o'clock, ami her remains were taken to Michigan City for interment, at which place her husband and several children are buried.

THE TBLKRMXE EXCHANGE.

The Dally Xewa Attempt* to Kxplaiu It4 Mode »t •peration. Many persons are anxious to know something about the coming Telephone Exchange, and in order to gratify them a DAILY NEWS man will endeavor to tell them how the thing will probably work. He will suppose the Exchange to be located in a room in Beach's new block. The wires which will run out to all parts of the city will have a common center on top of the block, and from there run down a tube into the office room of the Exchange. In this room will be one or more "Universal Switches. (We mention these as they are generally used.) They stand upright and are about seven feet high. The switch consists of a tint board on the rear side of which and at the upper part area series of annunciator magnets. On the front side of the board numbers are painted, there being a magnet in the rear for each number. An iron shutter about the size of a nicklc and with an arched top is hinged at the bottom and held in position over each numlwr by a catch which connects with the magnet. Below the annunciator on the switch-board are what are technically called "jack-knife switches," taking their name from a slight resemblance to a closed jack-knife. They are just as many of these on a switchboard as there are numbers on the annunciator above. Still lower on the board is the "call plate." Below it are "straps" used for connecting two or more lines together and for giving disconnecting sig nals. The mode of operating is somewhat as follows:

The telephones in business houses, private residences or elsewhere are numbered, and the number corresponds with those on the annunciator. Suppose the one in the DAILY NEWS office is numbered 21, and the telephone at the Terre Haute House is numbered 10, then these instruments would have corresponding numbers on the annunciator at the Exchange. If a party at the DAILY NEWS office wishes to converse with some one at the Terre Haute House, he presses the call key at the DAILY NEWS offlcc. This throws a current from the battery there over the wire to the Exchange, through the jack-knife switch and communicator magnet to the ground. This current raises the catch which holds up the shutter, the shutter falls, and discloses the figures 21 on the switch-board. The attend ant at the Exchange sees by the number disclosed that connection is wanted at the DAILY NEWS office with some other estab lishment. He takes up the "switchman's telephone," inserts the plug at the end of this cord into the jack-knife switch belonging to Shutter No.21, which gives him direct communication with the DAILY NEWS office. He calls "Well?" or "Halloaf and is answered back that connection is wanted with the Terre Haute House, or No. 10. The switchman then places in the other hole of the jack-knife one of plugs of a switch cord, and the plug in the other end of the cord he places in a connecting strip of the call plate. He next takes the switchman's telephone and puts the plug in the jack-knife switch of No. 10, calls Terre Haute House, with this jack-knife switch cord, the same as he did with No. 21. He then taps the call plate with the ply on the other end of this cord three times. This throws the calling battery current over the line, rings the bell in the Terre Haute House, and the call is answered. The switchman then connects the switch cord with the calling plate, as he did that of No. 21, and the two places are then connected and ready for conversation. All this work is done in less than a half minute's time. The game operation will connect No. 21 with any other number on the switchboard.

Usually the fall of the shutter make* noise cnongh to attract the attention of the switchman, bat there is in addition an alarm bell which will ring until the switchman stops it The NEW* man doesn't know, but supposes some one will be on duty in the Exchange at night as well as day. The Telephone Exchange is a bi# thing, and people will soon wonder how they managed to get along without Just the date it will fx* in operation, this deponent saith not
