PAINTING HELLO" GIRLS.
Young Women in Telephone Offices
 Must Be Strong of Mind and Body.

From the New York Times.
 Nervous persons need not apply" is an admonition which should be needed by all girls who are seeking positions as telephone operators. The biblical phrase, Many are called! but few are chosen" Is especially applicable to those who are ambitious to respond to the hello of the telephone subscriber.
 Not one applicant in five Is able to stand the strain. and no class of women who earn their living has the record for faintng that has been won by the phone girls. The girls work at high pressure. and this robs them of vitality.
 But the clustering male subscriber or more frequently. the chance patron is responsible for most of the mysteries at the switchboard. The girls take complaint seriously. It is a reflection on the service they render, and they can not always pass it by as a joke. In spite of the number of telephones in use in New York. there is hardly an irasci- ble patron who Is not known to the whole force. girl answers the call of such man with misgiving. and more than one operator has ben taken away from her post unconscious while the brute at the other end of the line was pouring his spleen into the phone.

 Regular System Said
 to Exist.
IS CHARGED WITH PEONAGE

Montgomery. May 2S.-(Speeial)- N. Franklin. prominent citizen of coosa county, was lodged in jail here this afternoon, charged with peonage.
 The United States grand jury now in session here returned an indictment against Franklin after an investigation covering two weeks. This case or similar ones, have recently figured in the Fed eraI courts at Birmingham, it being charged that the defendant was selling negroes into slavery.
 The case has been a most interesting one, and many prominent citizens from Coosa county have been here 10 testify before the grand jury. It is not improb- able that other indictments may be re- turned.
 Capt H. c. Dickey, United States se- cret service detective. has been here for some time at work on the case, having been sent here especially TOT the purpose of looking into the slavery traffic which, it is said, is being carried on in num- Der of counties in the middle district Of Alabama.

  person who claims to know of the con ditions in Alabsma in regard to the slav- cry question alleges that a regular sys- tenn has been in practice for d long time between certain magistrates and persons who want negroes to work for them at very small cost.
 The plan, 1t Is said, works in this way: A negro is brought up before a magls- trate on f1imsy charge and Is convicted. The poor negro has no money to pay his fine and Is in a bad situation, when white man steps up and offers to pay his fine provided the negro will make labor contract with the white man for length of time so as to pay the money expended in getting him out of the so-called trouble.
 The negro assents, and then it is charged that he becomes practically a slave being taken to a farm or some sort of works where he is made to do hercu- lean work and receives frequent lashes from a whip.
