Mrs. Isabella Bishop, whose travels in different parts of the world secured for ber membership in the British Royal Geographical society, visited America when she was a young woman. She was unused to travel and was alone when she bad the following experience: Once In a train going to New York she was dreadfully tired, and yet she had a feeling that if she went to sleep the man sitting next her would pick her pocket. She struggled for some time against ber Inclination to sleep; but, having for a moment given way, she awakened to feel the band of her neighbor gently withdrawing her purse from her pocket. In her purse, besides some money, which was, comparatively speaking, of small moment, was her baggage check. That was the only thing that really mattered. If she accused her neighbor of theft, nothing was simpler for him than to drop the purse out of the open window beside which he was sitting. No; she determined she would leave any interference until they arrived at their destination. She secured the services of a porter and, with apparent calmness, followed her traveling companion down the platform. Having described her baggage to the porter, she at the critical moment bowed slightly to the pickpocket and, with an airy smile, said, "This gentleman has my baggage check." And he Immediately presented it to ber. A Well Coadaetea Rl at. In 1767, irritated by the high price of provisions, the poor people of England rose in many parts and seized the corn from the flour mills, which they sold at reasonable prices, giving the money to the rightful owners a well conducted riot that caused a law to be passed against the eighteenth century cornering of wheat. But, a severe winter following, the distress became so great that the London common council ordered $5,000 to be subscribed out of the city funds and that "a subscription book should be opened for the donations 'of all well disposed persons." "By this noble plan," says a writer of that time, "great numbers of people were happily relieved from the most abject state of distress." Wii Matches. Wax matches, so called, are made by drawing strands of fine cotton thread, twenty or thirty at a time, through melted stearin, with a small admixture of paraffin: The wax hardens quickly upon the threads, and the long tapers thus produced are smoothed and rounded by pulling them through Iron plates perforated with holes of the desired site.

APPLICATION FOR INJUNCTION TO PREVENT BREACH OF CON TRACTS HISTORY .OF TELEPHONE CASE.

Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 15. Attorney John H. Doyle, of Toledo, has asked Judge Taylor in the federal court, tc decide whether the United States Telephone company was violating the Sherman anti-trust law by virtue of Its ninety-nine-year contract with moro than ant independent telephone companies throughout the state. . . The request was made In the first arguments of counsel for the Central Union Telephone company and the American Telephone and Telegraph company against the Issuance of a permanent injunction restraining them from doing business with the Independent companies, which bad made nlnety-nlne-year contracts to deal exclusively with the United States company in toll messages. The United States company charged that the Central Union had induced 16 independent companies to break their ninety-nine-year contracts to receive and send long-distance messages. It was also charged that the Central Union did this for the purpose of furthering a monopoly. Doyle said that the state courts had already held the United States company's ninety-nine-year contracts invalid. He said the injunction would kill competition; "A mandatory order Issued in a preliminary Injunction is most unusual," said Judge Doyle. "It seems to me the most Tour Honor should havo done was to issue such an order as would maintain the status quo." "That was the Intention of the court," said Judge Taylor. Judge Doyle said the Bell company had refused connection to the local company in order to avoid contempt proceedings. The United State company's petition charges that the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the various other Bell companies are in conspiracy In restraint of trade la violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. Judge Doyle argued that the court hero could acquire so Jurisdiction orer the case until every local company whose rights are affected, is brought into court. . These local companies are those which the United States company claims made a contract for long-distance service with 1L The United States company also charges that the Bell companies are trying to persuade the local companies to violate these contracts.. The United States company in reply said that they weA merely fighting for life against the Bell company. The statement that $18,000,000 had been spent la Ohio to fight the United States company, since the latter organization twelve years ago, was made by Clarence Brown, attorney of the United States company. All that the Bell company had gained, according to Brown, was the fourteen companies that had broken their contracts. The hearing of the case went over to tomorrow by agreement.
