WOMEN TELEPHONISTS.
Their Remarkable Qualifications and
Poor Pay.

Their Remarkable Qualifications and
Poor Pay.
From the London Chronicle.
The British post Office has decided to en-
ploy women as telephonists. In this they
have but followed the example of all other
administrations and private companies
Women are pre-emtnently 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 particularly adapted by nature and So
cial training to perform the work of tele-
phony. Every European state has sta1fed
its telephone offices with girls. Cape Col
ony, New South Wales and Queensland
have done the same, and the employment
of women is extending with the extension
of the services. Cochin China, with Its
tiny system, employs six lady telePnon1sts,
and the Japanese government has made
the following gratifying announcement:
1.-The number Of lady telephon1sts, which
at first numbered only dozen, has today
reached the figure of 366, and continues to
increase as the government has decided to
extend its system to all the important CEN
ters of the empire The Belgian govern
ment in its report on the .sr1 quality o of wo.
was introduced in 1882 and women have
been employed since that date as telephon-
lists. They have proved to be particularly
apt because the tmbre of their voice Is
more penetrating and more agreeable than
the voice Of man and they exhibit more
patience than men in dealing with subscrib-
ers." Hard-headed Germany says that,
although women have failed to give sat
isfaction in the telegraph service they are
quite satisfactory as telephonists."
Such universal testimony as to their eff
ficiency brings into remarkable prominence
the miserable remuneration which is offered
by the British post Office. The scale of pay
per week for the first five years Is as fol-
lows:

divorced is, by the decision in the CowIey
case, authorized to retain the title.
The earl himself has announced that he
will marry legally in England the lady
whom he thought he had legally married
in the United States. That will be as soon
as the decree is made absolute, which will
be very shortly There would then be two
Countess Russels claiming to attend. A
different question: will arise with regard
to the Marchiohess of Blandford She has
never assumed the title of the Duchess of
Marlborough. Yet she might legally do So
because when she divorced her husband
the decree had not been made absolute be-
fore he came tntoi;the dukedom. 1t was
the rule Of her, late majesty not to admit
at court any lady awno had been divorced
or had divorced her husband
In the case of the Marchioness of Bland
ford an exception was made, and the queen
sent a message to the marchioness inti-
mating that she would always be welcome
at court. AlhEpeers practically have the
right to attend the coronation, but even
here there will be exceptions. For instance,
Viscount Valentia, who is an Irish peer,
will have to attend as a member of the
house of commons, because he has sat ard
voted in that house. The Duke of Argyll
will, I understand, attend as a Scotch peer
which position VIII give him higher prece-
dence than II he attended as a duke of
the united kingdom.
A new and interesting development OF an
old dispute between the walters of London

strating In Trafalgar Square as a means OF
airing their grievance. Their charter is

Kidnappor. Throaton Edison

New York. May 2l.-Little Madeline Edison. the I1-yar old daughter ot Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of Men lo park. is the latest proposed victim of kidnappers. It leaked out today that about two weeks ago Mir. Edison re ceived a letter. in which a demand was made for a very large sum of money to be placed in lonely spot in the Orange mountains.
 The result of the refusal Co comply with the demand was Co be that at the earliest opportunity. Madeline, the youngest of the family and her fathers especial pet, would be kidnapped and held for ransom m many times the sum first named That som cScriouS peril threatened the Edison family is shown from the fact that for two weeks past Menlo park has been carefully guarded.

The Stars intend to fight for every pin

they could not keep up their gait. This

tournaments. They are entertained so
much that they usually lose sight OF what
really took them there.

Taken individually, 1t is hard TO locate a
weak point in the team. Martin Kern. a
Cincinnati man., who came TO st. Louis last
August, won the individual championship

York last year. He also holds the worlds
record for consecutive strikes, having
cleaned the alley twenty-three times and
