EAST LIVERPOOL 4
TELEPHONE GIRL
Her Duties Are Not Pleasant,
But She 10 q Hum mer Just
the Same.

Number? Number? A-Haven't
you got a book?"
What person in East Liverpool is
not familiar with the answer of the
telephone girl when he or she lifts the
telephone receiver from its hook?
Without the hello" girl the tele-
phone would lose most of it's fame. for
the exchange girl is written of and
talked about as much as any woman
who tolls for her living, says the Cri-
sis.
In East Liverpool there are perhaps
Is telephone girls. OF these are en-
ployed at the Bell company and by
the Columbiana, County company.
Her duties are not always the
pleasantest, but still the hello" girl
usually manages to talk pleasant to
patrons: 81 10
There are always more applicants for
positions as telephone girls than there
are places. Women and girls seem to
be especially adapted to the work. Tel
ephone companies usually make life as
pleasant as possible for the girls, and,
IL orders are strictly obeyed, all is we'll.
Usually work calls for day of from
8 to 10 hours A few girls at the
Columbiana office have broken day,
or what is known as the Swing" run.
That is some of them work four hours
in the morning and complete the day
In the afternoon or evening. These
Swings" are often objected to.
Then there are the rules ofAthe COM
pany as to behavior while on duty.
No talking over the wire, no talking

say; no talking to that nice young
man." no holding the switch open to
hear someone's best fellow tell why he

change office, with the exception of a
half hour or an hour for lunch.
All this times she sits with a receiver
hanging over her head. There are a
hundred lights on each operator 8
board, for the twinkle of which she
must watch
Some physicians say that the re-
ceiver sometimes causes the telephone
ear" and the small. bright electric
lights sometimes affect the eyesight
For her work the hello girl is paid
fair wages. The standard scale in
East Liverpool is $40 a month, but II
takes two or three months experience
as a rule. to secure this. Beginners
are paid $15 a month.
1t is said that three of five girls make
success. as "hello" girls. 1t takes
from two ito five months to become pro
ficient. The time depends upon tht
girl herelf and the patience of the in
structor. If, at the end of five months
she can not care for her board, 1T Il
likely she is dismissed.
After the telephone girl becomes pro
ficient in the regular exchange, he

in private branch. Here the life i

Taken all in all, the telephone girl 1
chic, saucy, bright creature.
In one of the exchanges in East
Liverpool no one enters the operator

This. indeed, Is quite proper. and
merely shows respect to those VIII

TWO new
ROUTES
: For Two New Railways
Being Surveyed
I'm CITY OF CANTON
Residents Of North Cleveland
Avenue Are Puzzlod--
Stakes Being
Placed,

: Residents Of North Cleveland avenue
, are puzzled over the fact that two separ-
ate electric roadways are being survey
ed along that street. One Of these is for
the Canton-Akron Electric railway,
projected by John G. Welty and others,
and the second is said to be an exten-
sion of the Northern Ohio Traction
company's lines. The stake-setting
for the former of these companies Is
being done by e. L. Chapin's men and
for the latter by Paul Brothers, Of
Akron.
y Stakes for the Northern Traction
company have been set along the west
side of the avenue, beginning at the
north line of Howard street and ex-
tending parallel with the Canton-Akron
company's right Of way. It is under
stood that the traction company Is in
earnest in It's intention to build aninter-
urban line between this city and Akron.
The survey has already been completed
from Akron to Turkeyfoot lake and the
engineers are now covering the terri
tory between Canton and the lake.
Few people believe that both of these
lines will be built. Business men un-
derstand that competing lines to Ak
ron would hardly pay operating ex-
penses and no company would likely
build road in this case where one
had already been commenced. Consid-
ering this fact is what makes this par
ticular situation rather ,puzzling. The
traction company, 1t is said, is going
right ahead as though there were nc
other competitors in the field. The
same is true of the other company
The outcome of the matter will be
watched with interest.

SAID SERVANT
WAS HIS WIFE
Mansfield Man Alleged to be
Travelling Under False
CoIorS.

A big sensation has developed in
Newark in which prominent and we'll
known business man of Mansfield is the
leading character. It appears that
about two weeks ago a young man,
having rather good appearance and
giving the name of DR.. Levy Culver of
Mansfield went to Newark, and calling
at the home of Mrs. Margaret F. Up
ham, secured lodgings. He represented
that he was an agent Of the Bankers
Fraternal union and was apparently
doing very good business. He was a
very friendly sort of man and made a
number of pleasant acquaintances here.
About week ago he was Joined by
a woman whom he introduced as his
wife and who stayed with him up to
Tuesday, when the couple settled their
bills and left the city, presumably for
Cleveland, the doctor saying that he
might return Wednesday night
About an hour after their departure
a strange woman called at the residence
of Mrs. Upham and asked II she could
accommodate her with a room. Mrs
Upham replied that she could have the
room DR.. Culver had just vacated. At
the mention Of the doctors name the
woman began questioning Mrs. Uphanl
regarding the woman who had been
with the doctor. Mrs. Culver stated that
she was DR.. Culver's wife; that he was
interested in a dental Office in Mans
field and also carried on a restaurant
business there. She said that her hus-
band suddenly left home, and she had
no idea where he was until Mansfield
man who saw him In Newark told her OF
his whereabouts.
She said the woman with her husband
was named Mrs. Traverse and that she
was the wife of an employe of DR.. Gull
yer. She stated that she had been cog
nizant Of an intimacy between her hus-
band and Mrs. Traverse. and when the
latter disappeared week ago she
thought the two were together.
Mrs. Culver left for Mansfield. and
shortly after her departure her. hus-
band appeared, and securing his trunk
took 1t to the depot and left on the
first train out of the city.

HAVING HIS OWN way.
Report From Washington That
the President Dumped
Hanna.

Washington, March S.-There are
signs that President Mckinley means
to have his own way to greater extent
during his second administration than
he found it polite to attempt during
his first. Three instances indicating
a change of temper on his part have
come In bunch In the last few days.
First came the announcement that
Colonel William Carey Sanger, of New
York. had been selected to succeed Mr..
Meikeljohn, of Nebraska, as assistant
secretary Of war, without previous con-
sultation about the appointment with
Senators Platt and Depew. This
might have been all right had the presi-
aware that Colonel Sanger was an
open antagonist of the Platt machine
in the Empire state. But they were of
course aware of this fact and showed
by their action in allowing the an
nouncement of Colonel Sanger's selec-
tion to be made public that they did
not feel called on to consult the wishes
of the New York machine in filling the
assistant secretaryehip.
Senator Platt, however, does not look
at the matter in that way, and has
served notice on the president and Sec
retary Root that II the nomination OF
Sanger Is sent to the senate he will
fight the confirmation. Platt was not
willing in the first place that the war
secretaryship should be given to Root,
who always has trained with the anti
machine element In New York. but he
gave way In consideration of compen-
satory patronage offered him by the
president. Since the war department
has been under Roots objection, how
ever, Platt has not been able to get
many favors there, and has less use for
the secretary now than sver before.

UNALLOyED OPTIMISM
Regarding eosr War Pervades
British officlaI-
dom.

London, March 8.-Unalloyed optim-
Ism with regard to the Boer war pre-
vades British officialdom. The mem
ory of past disappointments restraints
undue exuberance, but the government
anticipates the early cessation Of hos
tilities. Mr.. Balfour admitted in the
house Of commons this afternoon that
communications have passed between
the imperial authorities and General
Botha, and this Is regarded as con-
firmatory of recent rumors that terms
of surrender are under discussion.
What assurances Botha demands
from the British are not known. 1t Is
supposed that he asks something less
than the complete independence of the
late republics or else his representa-
tions would not be entertained by Gen.
eral Kitchener or Sir Albert Miner.
Even IL the Boer commander in chief
is negotiating for peace It is not known
II he is speaking for ex-President Steyn
and General Dewet, or even for Gen.
eral -Delarey, whose latest exploit has
been an attack upon the British garri-
son at Lychtenburg.
Inc government OHclaiS DelleVe Undt
IL General Botha surrenders he will dc
so agreeably to the wish of the Boer
civil authorities. and that the other
Dutch commanders cannot we'll with
stand such moral loss. These officials
expect that when the Boer commander.
in-chief abandons the struggle all the
burghers under arms will accept the in.
evftable, with the possible exception ol
DeWet himself. They think that the
Free State chieftain is fearful Of per.
sonal retribution for offenses alleged
to have been committed by him ant
that he will endeavor to escape from
South Africa.
All dispatches from Pretoria continu.
to represent public opinion there as ex
tremely hopeful of an early return O
law and order. Business men in Johan
nesburg are reported TO be expecting {
revival Of trade in the immediate fu
| ture.
The pro-Boer element In London re
CARDS the situation as somewhat
gloomy, from the point of view of tn,
republicans, but men like Mr.. Court
ney predict that after q brief lull tn,
Beers will renew their operations witt
characteristic energy.

East Liverpool, March Sat
o'clock this morning fire was discov.
cred in one of the cells on the first
floor of the county jail in Lisbon. Mrs.
Noragon, the wife of the jailor, was
the first to see the fire, and gave the
alarm. 1t took the united efforts of
the department and those around the
Jail to check the flames. The sheet
ing of the cell had to be torn away be.
fore the fire could be put out. Two
juvenile offenders from East Liverpool
were the occupants of the Jail, and Il
is the belief of the sheriff that they
set fire to the building, hoping to es.
cape during the excitement.
