WOMEN CAR CONDUCTORS.
Their Employment in Chilean Town Attended Well to Their Work.

The most remarkable feature of the Valparaiso street car system Is Its conductors; they are women. The sex is also employed in like capa- city in Santiago and all the other cities of Chile that have horse or electric trans. This practice sprang into being at the time of the revo- lution of 1891, when men and money were scarce and women plentiful. Having apparently giving satisfac- tion to their employers during the intervening years they are still re- tained.
 The first women conductors were said to have been young and pretty and to have been dressed in natty uniforms. Tradition even goes fur ther and says that at the time youth and good looks were part of the "entrance requirements" In the light of the present this seems hard to believe. It is also recorded that after while the natty uniforms were dropped and it was just possi- ble that the apochryphal youth and beauty" clause was stricken out at the same time.
 To-day, judging from what have seen in somewhat painstaking sur vey of the situation, I would say that the possession of youth and beauty, far from being require ment, was now the means of earning a fiat disqualification. The custom ary dress of lady tram conductor of to-day is a broad brimmed slouch hat, a short jacket with the sleeves turned back an inch or two and a short black skirt, always hanging with heavy port or starboard list.
 They are neither fiirtatious nor prudish, and no scandals are heard about them. To foreigner 1t is an interesting sight to observe the street car girl, to note how capably she manages her car, and the quiet, busi- nesslike way in which she goes through the routine of collecting fares, giving change, discharging passengers and seeing that the rule regarding the number admitted Is not broken.

WOMAN CALLED FOR JURY.
Appears Ready for Service, But the
 Lawyers Let Her Go.

Washington, Dec TIA woman was subpoenaed for jury service Wednesday for the first time in the history of the supreme court of the District of Columbia.
 I'M. F. Scott" was the name on the subpoena, a formidable looking docu- ment, issued in the name of the pres ident of the United States. When Miss Scott presented herself for Jury service the officials of the court were as greatly astonished as she had been when she received the summons. They waived her at once.
 The mistake occurred because one of the bailiffs in consulting the city directory for names for jury service, found that of NJ. F. Scott, manager. 1" Miss Scott is pretty young woman, although she is manager, and will not again be called on by the United States to do jury duty.

Eastern Kentucky Coal Field.

The South and Western rail
road, now under construction be-
tween the Eastern Kentucky coal
fields and Spartanburg, S. O. is
the newest development in con.
nection with the opening of the
immensely rich coal fiends of
Kentucky. Construction work
has been under way for sew
eral months, and although the
public has known little of the
undertaking, the movement has
now assumed such material shape
. as 10 leave no doubt as to the
ultimate completion of the entire
project. If nothing unforeseen
occurs this railroad will be com
pleted within eighteen moths.
One prominent coal expert who
has gone thoroughly over the coal
fields Of Eastern Kentucky, now
being opened 10y the Chesapeake
d Ohio and South and Western
lines, states that the greatest un
developed coal field in the United
States is contained IN the area
included in the scope of opera
tfons, and that it contains more
coal, per acre, than any other
field. Eleven seams, all differ
emit, are not uncommon in Pike
and adjoining counties, while III

Eastern Kentucky will compare

Do Strikes Paw

Measured in days of labor loss
the anthracite coal strike of 1902
would probably head the list of
all strikes. About l40, 900 men
were idle for approximately 40
working days, or total loss Of
19,600,000 days of labor. With
the exception of the exception of
the great coal strike in England
in 1898 the losses caused by the
European strikes are, for the
most part, much smaller than the
losses in the great strikes in the
United States. The losses en-
tailed on workmen and en-
ployes by the building strike in
New York City three years ago
are placed at over $66, 900, 900,
more than half of which. repre-
sents the loss in wages. In this
country the average number of
days lost as a result Of strikes in
each year from 1881 to 1900 was
100000 days. The average an
nual loss in wages during these
years was $l2, 100000. If TO all
these figures could be added the
total number of persons killed,
manned and deserted in the
course of these conflicts we would
have a total that well might
