The Detroit Telephone Company has now nearly
fivk thousand subscribers. Every subscriber for
a telephone has signed a legal contract. Nearly
threk TnousAND have signed three-year contracts.
The Detroit Telephone Company has a tiiikty
ykar franchise from the city, and is the only tele
phone company owning a franchise in Detroit.
The Detroit Telephone Company is now building
the conduit in which to lay its cables. Sixty miles
of duct feet of conduit are required. Nearly twenty-five
miles are already laid.
The Detroit Telephone Company is building the
most modern and perfect telephone plant ever
built in this country. The conduit will last a hun
dred years and the cables will be practically im
perishable. You can imagine the perfect service
telephone subscibers will receive.
The Detroit Telephone Company has enthusiastic
public and popular support. Think of a metallic
circuit telephone in your house for 25 dollars a year
or in your office for 40 dollars a year! No wonder
the telephone subscribers arc increasing at the rate
of nearly 100 a week. Do you know any reason
why there will not be 10,000 Detroit Telephone sub
scribers within three years?

supposed that the triple wedding was
to take place at the Whitney residence,

members su-h men as Thomas Lowry
and ex-l'nited States Senator W. I).

The regular pastor of the church, the
Uev. Marion I). Shutter, as prominent
a cleryman as there Is In Minneapolis,
performed the ceremony in the pres
ence of twelve members of the Church

ers were the only outsiders admitted.

tending an invitation to a few members
of the press, because, as he said, the
newspapers of Minneapolis had treat

from prying into his private affairs.

The wedding ceremony was a service
which was dictated by Schwelnfurth

The Pall Mall Oazette says: 'Tnless
the bank has Information which is
not generally known, the position
st-arcely seems to warrant a rise In
the bank rale. However moderate the
advance, the act of warring at the
rref-nt low value of money can not
l.ist forever, and It is probably better
to have the official rate raised by easy
stages, as a precautionary measure,
than to postpone it until a bigger ad
vance Is necessary, when a panic might
easily have resulted.
"It is possible that the directors may
foresee the necessity of advancing th'
bank rate to 3 per cent."

but it Is not likely to be permanent,
unless the withdrawal of gold contin

more appreciable advance of the bank

"Americans opened weak, and have
further fallen, owing to the idea that
the advance may chec k the outflow of
the gold to the I'nited States."
