IT is rumored in London that Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary Of state for the colo
MES, will shortly resign from the ministry
in order to assume the leadership OF the
large number OF Unionists in the House Of
Commons who are Discontinued with the
foreign policy Of the government. There
seems to be no doubt that Mr.. Chamberlain
is dissatisfied with his present position and
IL affairs in the far east and West Africa

he will not remain iii cabinet to share the
shipwreck of policy he never approved
Whatever may be the outcome the dis
quieting idea is undoubtedly prevalent in
conservative circles that Mr.. Chamberlain
contemplates some sensational move and
the extent to which this is credited shows
how little Mr.. Chamberlain can count
upon Tory confidence.

Sleeping.Car Maids.

Women are invadiog fields of work
which men have considered their eX-
elusive territory, but some don't OBJ
ject. Last November the Lake Shore
limited train took unto itself trim col
ored maids, and the porter, in place Of
resenting their advent, seem to regard
the innovation as a special dispensation
of Providence in their favor, while the
porters of trains where feminine So
ciety isn't furnished by the company
look upon their more favored brothers
with envy.
There are five maids in the service,
for, though the train carries only one,
relays have to be provided. In this
work, as in every other, woman runs
up against her most hopeless limita-
tion-want of physical strengthened
the wear and tear of constant life on
the road, aside from any question of
work, would make her wreck in no
time. So the maid has twenty-four
hours rest in Chicago and thirty-six
hours here, and even that doesn't pre-
vent her looking tired and worn.
The original idea in furnishing a
train maid seems to have been that she
would be an ornamental element-a
finishing touch to the luxurious n,sehen
scene. She would wear the whitest of
aprons and the most deliberately f1uted
of caps. She would stand by the door
and receive the passengers, 30 that they
might have the sensation of entering a
private house, and feel quite at home.
Then she would render such services
to the women passengers as the porter
could not supply. She wasn't vital
necessity. She was a luxury, and the
railroad company didn't realize that the
travelling public would literally jump at
her, but that was what happened.
Contrary to the usual sequence, the
supply created the demand. For years
travellers had with some assistance
from the porter been getting along very
comfortably. They didn't realize that
maid was necessary for their happi-
ness, but the company provided maid,
and now that part of the public which
travels on limited trains couldn't live
without her. 1t furnishes her with
work enough to occupy ten women,
and complains bitterly because the
company is too penurious to supply
more than one maid for a train.
The maids regular working hours
are from six O'Clock in the morning
until eleven at night, but if any one
needs her during the night she must
be on duty-and some one usually does
need her. Invalids, women with little
children, all persons for whom railway
travel is hardship, and who wish to
shorten the journey as much as pos
sible, prefer the limited train, and con-
sequently the maid comes in contact
with large percentage of people who
require a great deal of attention.
otis rare thing" said one of the
maids to Sun reporter, "that we
make the round trip from New York
to Chicago and return without having
at least one passenger who is ill enough
to need constant care. Sometimes a
sick lady will have her own maid or a
daughter with her; but often she will
just have her husband, and then /
take care of her. Sometimes l won

were put on the trains. 1t must make
a big difference to them. When we

"When three months old, my little

her clothes would be covered with blood.

awhile, we could see that she was getting

she would certainly be left with scars, but
