Tie Girl st shs csns. - ~.

Under the heading, The Lady of the Telephone, the Balu- more Sun had this to say;
 "She is more than five feet tall. she is 95 per cent. unmar- ried. she is neat, she is quick, she is never deaf or dumb. she is invisible when most effective she is the girl who must be con suited before you can get the tel enhone YOU want. Though not much of a mathematician, she deals in numbers, wholesale and retail adds St. Paul 4s6 to Mount Vernon 2749 and subtracts Tuxedo 4S-M from Madison s246- K with liehtripg-like rapid 'i.y." !, The Government experts ma that she can answer 226 calls a minute without shedding q hair in. but d. not mention that she can give you the same wrong number three times in five min utes and cause attacks of apop- lexy and indignation ct both ends of the wire
 "She must be either very pa tient or very indifferent, this operator in the conversation eX- change, for she deals with many men of many tempers and many women of many tongues. And if she can manage this success fully and emerge from a day of conflict with unruffied temper and smiling face, she must be a wonder. y
 There she sits, this lady of the telephone, calm, polite, like Patience on monument, smiling at Rage. From out of the wreck of matter and the ruin of worlds comes undisturbed her even tones, Number, please!'
 ''She is in truth one of the wonders of the world. Tele- phoning is trying to the nerves, frazzeling to the patience, stlm- ulating to the vocabulary of pro fanity, destructive of the virtue of chivalry, death to the habit ot courtesy
 The majority of users of the telephone know as little of the workings of the system as an African savage knows about the gyroscope. Nearly every one who grabs receiver from a hook expects to be immediately con- nected with the person with whom he desires to converse. Any and all delays are Charged to the malignancy of the tele- phone girl. Perhaps she also has nerves and a temper. Pos sibly she would like to reply with asperity to your animadver-

VICTORY FOR LEADERS.
Democrats and Insurgents Defeated
In What Is Regarded as Test Of
Strength.

Washington.-By the decisive vote
Of 30 to 20, the administration Repub-
licans on Friday defeated the Cum.
Minis substitute for the Crawford-El-
kins traffic agreement provision of the
railroad bill. This question had been
practically monopolizing the attention
Of the senate for the last week and
was regarded as one Of the most i'm
portant of the subdivisions Of the
bill. The vote is generally accepted
as a test of the strength of the con-
tending sides and 1t is believed it pre-
sages the passage of the bill by a safe
majority.
OF the total membership of 92,
there were ,2S senators who did not
vote, and of these, four, all Demo
Gratis, were absent and impaired. They
were Senators Clark of Arkansas,
Bankhead of Alabama, McEnery OF
Louisiana, and Smith of Maryland.
All the Democrats present voted for
the Cummins provision, so that II the
four Democrats mentioned had been
present and had voted for the amend
ment, the ballot in its favor would
still have been less by two votes than
the vote against the provision.

THE cost of living calls for care
full inquiry into the causes that have

Details Of Awful Fate Of Christian

Seattle, Wash.-The barkentine

arrived at Mukilteo, Wash, from the
Friendly or Tonga islands, in the

der and eating by cannibals on Saw
age island, near the Tongas, of the
Rev. Horatio Hopkins and his assist

While the barkentine lay at Tanga-
tabu in the Tonga islands, canoe
load of mission natives from Savage
island arrived at Eua, bringing news
of the butchery.
The natives said that Hopkins and
Mcpherson were teaching in the mis-
sion building which stands on the
beach in the little harbor of Savage
island, when 200 OF the unconverted
savages, bowling war cries and bran
dishing clubs and spears descended
upon their quarters and took every
one prisoner The missionaries had
about twenty converts undergoing
training at the time and only nine
converts escaped. Both missionaries
were bound with thongs and were left
lying on the beach in the tropical sun
for several hours while the savages
took the native captives inland.
The cannibals, on returning to the
beach, carried the missionaries on a
litter to the crater of the extinct vol
cano Vanine, in the center of the
island. There, for two days and nights,
they held corroboree and at times
could be seen plainly dancing and rev.
cling by the fugitive mission natives
as they stole along the shore.
While most Of the cannibals were
sleeping an opportunity came to the
captive natives to escape. Their go
