In 1878, the hospital committee, consisting of Mrs. T. J. Maginnis, Miss Lucy Hazlett, and Mrs. W. P. Shrom, conferred with a committee from the City Council, to consider the prospect of obtaining aid in this behalf from the public fund, arguing that, as the object was for public benefit, it would seem legitimate for the city to aid the cause. Nothing was accomplished, however, and as yet the city has done nothing but extend good wishes and the use of a room, where the society opened a soup room, and issued many a little pail of nutritious and palatable food to those who would have suffered without this help during the winters, when the demand for work was small. The little pails sent out from the society rooms were esteemed acceptable gifts to many an hum-
ble board. The food materials were gifts from our generous-hearted merchants, and the labor of preparing it was performed by the ward man- agers. As trade revived, and spring came, with its demand for labor, the applications for food ceased, thus showing that those who had received it were worthy, for, as soon as they could help themselves, they did so, and, in consequence, the soup room closed.
October 2, 1878, the society was shocked by the sudden death of Miss Hazlett. This was a great loss, for to this estimable lady, more than to any other person, was due the project of the society, and much of its earlier work was the re- sult of her own suggestion and planning. The society was sadly bereaved, and painfully real- ized that, in Miss Hazlett, had passed away one of their most devoted members. And ere the society had realized that death is no respecter of persons, it was again shocked in the death of an- other most valuable and earnest member, Mrs. Lucy Hadley McCann. This sad event occurred the 2d of October, 1879. Of such the world is indeed unworthy ; and yet, we hear their grand- est eulogy, as the refrain comes back, "Servant of God, well done.'
During the year 1879, the society received, $394.85 ; and expended, $231.63. For the year 1880, the society received. $587.03 : and expend- ed, $530.80.
The work has been done for the love of it, and hence, the needy have had the full benefit of the money received, and no logic or rhetoric is need- ed to show that it is a noble work, nobly done ; that it speaks in unmistakable terms of the gen- erosity of the good people of Zanesville; and it is safe to conclude that the vicissitudes that beset the poor here, as elsewhere, will be met in the future, as in the past.

CHAPTER XIX. LIBRARY.
ZANESVILLE ATHENEUM.
This is the crowning result of many an earnest effort. The inception may be traced back to a meeting, held December 19th, 1827, intended for the formation of a reading society, over which Alexander Harper presided, and Alfred Martin acted as Secretary. At this meeting, on motion of C. B. Goddard, a committee was appointed to draft articles of association. The President ap- pointed Richard Stillwell, Allen Cadwallader, and C. B. Goddard, who reported as follows :

The society, through a committee appointed for that purpose, procured a lease of a portion of ground, since occupied by the Court House ; the lease was dated February 6, 1830, and is record- ed on page 326, Book "Ñ," Muskingum County Records. According to the terms of said lease, "the society shall have the use of the Jot named, for the term of one thousand years, at an annual rent of one cent per annum, if demanded by the Commissioners.
March 10, 1830, the Atheneum Building Com- mittee accepted the bid of John Wilson, for the erection of a suitable brick building, upon the property leased, as aforesaid. The building was erected at a cost of about $3,500, and was occu- pied by the society until the site was deemed de- sirable for Court House grounds, and which, after due consideration, the society transferred back to the County Commissioners for the con- sideration of $6,575, to the society paid by the said Commissioners, that the grounds might be occupied by "the old 1809 Court House ;" and the Atheneum Association purchased and moved into the premises now occupied by them, for the sum of $6,200.
The income of the Atheneum is one thousand dollars annually from the administrators of the McIntire estate ; three hundred and thirty dollars ($330.) from rents, and five dollars per annum from each stockholder, at present about thirty, inaking one hundred and fifty dollars. Total revenue, fourteen hundred and eighty dollars.

CHAPTER XX.
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH-BRIEF RESUME .- Ex- periments in electricity, having more or less bear- ing upon its practical use in telegraph communi- cation were made by Winckler, at Leipsic, 1746 : La Monier, in Paris : Watson, in London, 1747 : Lornord, in 1784 : Betancour, at Madrid, 1798 : Galvani's discovery of . Galvanism." at Bolon- ga, 1791 ; Prof. Volta's " Voltaic Battery," at Pavia, 1801 ; Soemmerring, at Munich, 1807 : The practical use of Galvanism in telegraphs. as prophesied by John Redman Coxe of Phila- delphia, in 1816. Great advance made by Prof. Oersted, at Copenhagen, in 1819. The Electro- magnetic agency first fully developed and applied by Prof. Morse, 1832, patented 1840. The first telegraph by this agency in the United States. was between Washington and Baltimore, in 1844. Cooke & Wheatstone's patent in England. 1840. Bain's patent in England. first 1842 : applied in United States, 1849. House's in 1848.
The O'Riley Telegraph Company was the first to introduce a line in Zanesville ; it was built by Henry O'Riley and F. O. J. Smith, and extended from Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville. hither. The office was opened in the spring of 1847, and Mr. A. C. Ross served the company as operator gratuitously for six months, and cy-

ercised supervision over it for some time longer. The mode of operating at that time, was known as the Register, which was reading telegraph characters inscribed on ribbons of paper that were made to pass beneath a lead pencil, operated by electricity. This mode continued in use un- til about 1855, when the present mode of oper- ating by sound began to be used. The mode by register is very rarely used now. In those days, the business was small, and one man did the operating, delivered messages and repaired the line, when it was needed. Now, the business re- quires three operators, two messengers and a man to do the repairing. In those days, from twenty-four to thirty-six hours were required to exchange messages with parties in New York : now the time required is from fifteen to thirty minutes. Then, two wires did the duty for this entire section of country ; now it takes from sixty to sixty-five wires. Then, from five hundred to six hundred words of press matter per day, was a long report ; now the average is three thousand words.
The operators have been as follows :
1847-A. C. Ross and Grant E. Garlock, de- ceased.
1848-George F. Garlock, deceased.
1849-Marion H. Markle.
1850-David S. Brooks.
1855-James D. Hoge.
The last named gentleman has served continu- ously since the date of his appointment, and is still in the harness, as managing operator, held in high esteem by the company, and the people.
In 1860, the company was again changed, and has ever since been known as the Western Union Telegraph Company. The territory worked is the same, with some additions.
In 1862, The United States Telegraph Com- pany began operations here, and continued until 1866.
In 1877, The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph opened an office in Zanesville, and closed Feb- ruary 1, 1881.
TELEPHONE COMPANY .- The telephone was introduced by R. A. Cunningham and M. W. Mansfield. The first instrument was put up June 16, 1879, and the central office was located in the Maginnis Block, over the Post Office. The enterprise started with forty subscribers, and was at once so manifestly advantageous that without further solicitation the list was soon increased to one hundred and seventy, and connections were made with all the schools, business houses, and a large number of private residences.
"The power behind the throne" was the "battery system ;" i.e : for the purpose of making a call or signaling, the electric force was sup- plied from a large battery. which was not only very expensive, but troublesome.
The Zanesville Telephone Company organ- ized with a capital of $20,000. The charter is dated November 11th, 1880; the incorporators : Martin W. Mansfield, Robert A. Cunningham, Thomas W. Gattrell, Thomas Griffith and W. A. Graham. The company determined to
build telegraph lines to the surrounding towns, and on putting wires on poles, and giving each subscriber his own wire to the central office. The old telephone exchange was sold to the new company, January 1, 1881, and the Magneto system adopted, and connection mnade with the Western Union Telegraph office, so that sub- scribers can send messages from their own home to any place where an instrument is stationed, to any point reached by telegraph. Under the new system, there are about ninety subscribers, and about one hundred miles of wire. Subscri- bers rates are about $40 per year.
The officers elected January 1, 1881, were :
President-Colonel M. Churchill.
Vice President-Thomas Griffith.
Secretary-M. W. Mansfield.
Treasurer-Thomas W. Gattrell.
Superintendent-Robert A. Cunningham.
James D. Hoge is now Superintendent.
In June, 1881, the stock of the company was purchased by E. M. Barton, and others, of Chicago. These parties are purchasing a large number of exchanges, in order to connect with trunk lines : and it is deemed among the proba- bilities that ere two more annual cycles have been made, conversation by telephone may be carried on, within a radius of a thousand miles.
