COST OF A VISIT TO ''PARSIFAL."

inviting his lady friend to go to

lob. He is likely to find it an ex-
pense compared with which even
the theatre with chaperon seems
an economy.
Taking for granted that she is
able to go to the opera without a
chaperon, the evenings entertain

There are the two seats in the first
place. They represent twenty dol
lars, as it IS not probable that she
would want to sit anywhere but in
the orchestra, nor likely that he
would want her to 60 anywhere
else. So that outlay is enough for
a starter.
Then there is the dinner at 7
o'clock. That may be any price from
IS to $40. Then there is the car
rage. If the young man does the
proper thing he will take his girl in
a cab. It would ordinarily cost S.
to take them to the theatre and home
again. But in this case the cost is
double, as the cab must also come
back for the trip to dinner. So If

under S. he is fortunate.
This brings the cost of a "Parsi-
fal'' evening up to S52, and that is
a minimum figure. That includes
no flowers, no supper and not even
a glass of lemonade in the second
inte-mission. There are many other
expensive adjuncts to such a trip.
But it looks as if S32 was min

0nerators OYerworked.

In regard to the complaints OF poor
service furnished to the local patrons
of the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company, E. w. starnes,
manager of the DonaIdsonville ex-
change, has requested The Chief to
state that the trouble is due TO the fact
that the operators are grossly over
worked. In proof of his assertion
Mr.. Starnes has issued the following
statement of the work done at the
local exchange during twelve hours on
Monday, Oct. IT: Toll calls sent, 200:
toll calls received, l29; local calls per
hour, 425. For twelve hours, at an
average of AIS per hour, 800 local
calls were answered, making with the
329 toll calls a total of 5429 calls
attended to during the period. For
this enormous volume of work there
are three boards and three operators.
One board and operator is devoted ex-
clusively to toll calls, leaving two
operators to handle 800 local calls.
Mr.. Starnes further states that a num-
Der Of people believe the operators
talk too much among themselves or to
other people over the phone. To
disprove this idea he invites the
public to visit the exchange between
| the hours of and Z O'Clock a. m.
and 3 and p. m, in order that it may
/ be seen how busy the operators are
kept and how little extraneous talk
| ing really goes on. In issuing this
| statement MIR. Starnes relieves himself
| and the operators at the local exchange
OF all blame for the very poor service
rendered, but the same does not apply to
the Cumberland Company. Il there is
more business at the DonaldsonviIle
exchange than can be conveniently
handled with the present facilities, it is
manifestly the duty Of the telephone
company to increase those facilities.
Telephone users pay for good service
and pay we'll, at that. IF the Cumber-
land Company doesn't keep TO its end
Of the bargain it will not be long be-
fore drastic action is taken to force the
concern to pay closer attention to the
interests OF its patrons.

a sWlNDLER ARRESTED.
w. b. Mccarthy Jailed on the Charge Of
Passing Worthless ehecks-Taken
TO Yer1nIlion Parish.


w. b. Mccarthy, a well-dressed
white man, was arrested Sunday after
noon by Chief of Police Variant upon
inform alton furnished by private de-
teetive that Mccarthy was wanted in
Waco, Tex, and Kaplan, La, for
passing worthless checks. The in
formant at first refused to give his
name, but later stated that he was
Chas. T. Bnrbridge, OF Lake Charles,
and that Mccarthy had feeced him out
of 800 at Sour Lake, Tex, in February
last. Mr.. Burbridge declared that
Mccarthy also secured $50 from Paul
Montaigne, a merchant of Kaplan, by
inducing him to cash a draft on a
" AGO bank which was later returned
as being no good. 1t is said that Nc
Carthy makes practice of going from
one town to another and deposlting
small sums ii different banks, after
ward drawing checks for many times
more than the amount he deposited
and having them eashed by unsuspeebs
ing people. He had been in Donald
sonville for several days posing as a
muls dealer, and one night last week
went into saloon here and eashed a
check for $40 on the Bank of Donald
sonville. Later he returned and
took up the check, stating tina he had
received some money in the meantime.
When arrested, Mccarthy at first
stoutly maintained his innocence, but
later he admitted to Mr.. Burbridge
that he was the man wanted. There
were found on him deposit and check
book on the Bank Of Napoleonville,
deposit books on the Peoples Bank, of
| Donaldsonville, and the City Bank,
of Mobile, two check books on the
Bank of Donaldsonville, check on
the Bank Of Napoleonville for 300,
signed by himself and payable to the
Bank of Ascension, and S50in cash.
The deposit books showed that 800
had been placed in the Peoples Bank
Oct. 5. 800 in the Bank of Napoleon
Vile Oct. 3, and $3.50 in the Mobile
bank Aug. II. The authorities of Ver-
million parish were notified of McCar-
thv's arrest and Sheriff j. Oscar He
bert G anne to Donaldsonville Thursday
night, leaving yesterday morning with
| his prisoner. Chief Variant is in re-
ceipt of a letter from z. G, Wheaton,
proprietor of the Rapides Hotel at
Alexandria, stating that McCarthy was
in that town last February and passed
worthless checks, besides vietimizing
several pc pile, Mr.. Wheaton, among
the number, in other ways. Mr..
| Wheadon says that Mccarthy feeeed
w. B. Haynes, of Barbreck, La, out
of $50 on worthless check, and that
the swindler is undoubtedly very
smooth rascal. No difficulty should
be experienced in sending Mccarthy
to the penitentiary for a long term Of
years.
