solved. He left the whole matter as a
baleful legacy to his successor. Fillmore,
though a friend of universal freedom, had
long made up his mind to support the
measure if it should come to a tie in the
senate, thus throwing upon him, as vice
president the responsibility of the cast

GUM is thus far beyond the most for
tunate possibilities of the English scale.
The methods of treating the female
workers of the British postoffice have
been undergoing gradual deterioration
of late years, and these latest scales are
advantage of all the many economic and
social factors which depress womens
wages. When women were first employ
ed, III 1870 it was in order to offer some
hight remLneratfve employment to the
feminine relatives of postal officials. As
the service extended this reason perforce
disappeared, and each new class created
has been offered lower conditions than
its predecessors. The girls of the postal
order bra1lch have recently been subjected
to- reduction of their minimum wage
from 965 to G55 year. and in one of the
most striking petitions prepared by any
body of workers they have shown by
statement of expenditure that the salary
is quite inadequate for independent SUBJ
sistenee. But worse has followed, and

TELEPHoNING IN LONDON,
Qualifications of Women Te1ephon-

The British postoffice has decided to
employ women as telephonists In this
they have but followed the example-.ef
all other administrations and private
companies. Women are pre-eminentiy
successful as telephonists No person at
all acquainted with the requirements of
the service would hesitate for an instant
in the choice between men and women
for this service There is an abundance
of evidence obtainable from all parts of
the world to prove that women are par

training to perform the work of tele-s

PRESIDENT HAS NO KEY.
BROOKLYN Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Although President Roosevelt is the UNI
disputed lord and master of the White
house, he is probably the only man in
Washington who does not carry key to
the front door Of his domicile. When
Mrs. Roosevelt moved into the White
house last week the steward turned over
to her large bunch of keys, but while
there was key for each door in the
living quarters of the big building, there
was no pass key for the main entrance.
The reason for this is that it is unneces-
sary for any occupant of the White house
to carry a key, for there is always a
Waterman on guard to admit those who
are entitled to enter Night and day
there is an attendant on duty at the front
door, If the president ever decides to
go on a nocturnal exploring expedition,
such as those he was noted for as police
commissioner of New York, he will have
to make use of the back entrance if he
wishes to escape the notice of the watch
men. There is only one man who carries
the key to the front door of the execu-
tive mansion, and that is Col Bingham,
superintendent of public buildings and
grounds of Washington. He is a sort of
custodian for the White house, and re-
