OPERA SUPPLIED OVER

AT THE THEATERS

By Means of a Recently Perfected .Device Thousands at Home May Hear Music or Speeches.

"Hello, central, give me the intermezzo from 'Cavalleria Rusticana.'" "All right one minute hold the wire." This is the sort of conversation that will flow over the telephone wires when the public get to using the telcgraphone, a new device perfected by Valdemar Poulsen, the Danish inven tor. .Instead of going to the opera the business man, weary after a day's work, may sit at home with his family and enjoy the best music. If he wants to hear a political speech, perchance, without being pushed and jostled in a crowd, the telegraphone will bring It to him. This idea has been partially carried out with the telephone, but it was not a success be cause the volume of sound decreased with each wire and only a few people could listen at one time. It has been found that by combining the telephone with the new device a thousand or more subscribers can listen to the same opera, concert cr stwofh It i nrnnnsa1. nrcordinsrlv I to equip central-telephone exchanges with a number of telegraphones, e-.icu of which will consist of an endlepa steel band of wire running through the field of a double electro-magnet, connected with the special transmi tters placed in theaters or coucert halls.

PICKING HOOSIER FOR STATE PLUM

Most Men Mentioned for Governor Shy at the Very Thought of It. WATSON STILL POSSIBLE BELiEVED, HOWEVER, THAT HE WILL CONTINUE TO SEEK HIS SEAT IN CONGRESSOTHER ASPIRANTS. Indianapolis, Dec. 22. Louis Ludlow in his Washington letter says: "One of. the live topics of conversation among Indianians in Washington is the Republican nomination for governor. In planning for a political contest of this importance, a year and half is not considered a long time and there are already some interesting undercurrents of gubernatorial politics. There is talk and lots of it, connecting the names of two or three members of the congressional delegation with the nomination for governor. It is known that Representatives Watson has been receiving letters from various parts of the state importuning him to become a candidate. His prospects in congress are so bright that his closest friends are advising him not to listen to the gubernatorial bee. He is whip of the house and a member of the ways 2nd means committee, and if his district continues' to send him to congress he will stand a good show of being some day the successor of Speaker Cannon. Congressman Charles B. Landis is not less favorably mentioned for gubernatorial honors. He is not making any statements on the subject as yet. Watson and Landis are both good orators and either would uphold the traditions of the office in that respect. Griffith Not Running. John L. Griffiths will not be a can didate for the nomination for governor unless he is convinced of the certainly of winning. It would be a great sacrifice for him to return from IIIerpool to Indiana, only to make a losing canvass of the state. Occasionally the name of John K. Gowdy is heard, but' he is not a candidate and is trying his level best to squelch all rumors connecting his name with the nomination. Other names mentioned are Robert J. Tracewell, controller of the treasury; Lieutenant Governor Hugh Th. Miller and Charles W. Miller. Arrbassador Returns. New York, Dec. 22. Baron Hengelmuller, Austrian ambassador to the United Stages, arrived on the steamer Kaiser Wilfcelm II, from Europe. Among other passengers were Mme. Nordica, the opera singer; Professor Karl Von Lmde, who will lecture in colleges and Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. Cierk Shot Negro. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 22. Arthu C. Metsler, a clerk employed in David Cox's drug store, shot and killed Albert Harvey, negro, in the store. Metzler says ths negro started to go behind the counter over his protest and the shooting followed. Sunday Closing In Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 22. Mandamus proceedings asainst Mayor Dunne were started io compel him to enforce the law closing the saloons Sunday. Th Sunday Closing league is backing te movement. Use artificial gas for light heat riO-tf THE TELEPHONE WIRES record of that particular performance. He can listen Jo opera, play: concert or speech. When lie has heard one selection he can be "plugged in" with another, as the telegraphones in the exchange will be used to reproduce performances going oa in several halls at once. The business man detained after office hours cm asked to be called when some famous prima donna appears, and when he has heard her sing, can continue his work. The sound vibrations set up oy singers' voices or musical ' instruments, falling upon the special transmitters, will be conveyed along the telephone wire from the place of amusement to the double electro-magnet of the telegraphones in the exchange. The fluctuations of these magnets affect the wire passing through their field in the form of variable magnetic intensities. The magnetism is localized and r record made of the voice or instrumental music at the other end. The magnetized wire passes through a series of reproducing magnets attached to the wires running to the receivers of the subscribers telephones The fluctuations of these reproducing magnets strike the diaphragm of the receiver and when the latter Is placed to the ear the sounds in the th.tter or concert hall are heard with perfect clearness. The fact that each telephone vire will have its own pair of reproducing magnets, makes it possible to send the same volume of sound to practically any number of subscribers.
