gave no sign as to his views on the
fugitive slave law. What he would have
done with the bill had he lived little
longer, is a mystery that will never be
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 tie in the
senate, thus throwing upon him, as vice
president, the responsibility of the cast

firm conviction of duty, under the consti-

PRESIDENT HAS No KEY.
BROOKLYN Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Although President Roosevelt is the I'M
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
watehman 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-

TELEPHoNING IN LONDON.
Qualifications of Women Tefephon-
lists and Their Poor Pay.


The British postoffice has decided to
employ women as telephonists In this
they have but followed the exampIe-ef
all other administrations and private
companies. Women are pre-eninentiy
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
ueularly- adapted by nature and social
training to perform the work of tele-
pheny. Every European state has staffed
its telephone offices with girls Cape COZ
ony, New South Wales and Queensland
have done she same, and the employment
of women is extending with the extension
of the services. Cochin China, with its
tiny system, has six lady telephonists.
and the japanese government has made,
the following gratifying announcements
: The number Of lady telephonists, which
sat first only numbered dozen, has today

ed to extend its system to all important
centers of the empire The Belgian gov

exhibit more patience than men in deal

many says that although women have
=sfalled to give Satisfactorily the telegraph
service, they are quite satisfactory as

Such universal testimony as to their
efficiency brings fatn remarkable prenli-s
nence the miserable remuneration which
isEoffered by the British pestofH ce. The
