four party harmonic, automatic ring
ing.
1t is unusual to see a young lady in
charge of a wire chiefs desk, es-
pecially in a plant of this size, owing
to the skill and experience required to
enable her to handle such a position
and it is seldom indeed that girl gets
the chance to acquire the necessary
training.
This remarkable little lady's duties
in general are to make all tests, giving
nature and location of all trouble re-
ports, direct the operation of from one
to three outside trouble men, keep the
records of cable pairs. both outside and
inside of the exchange, pole line in
struments, move and change records,
assigning of jumpers at the main,
terminal and intermediate frames give
instructions for running fridle wires
at cable boxes and make reports at
regular intervals to the officials Of the
company.
When we stop to consider the nature
and detail of the work performed by
this young lady, it is little short OF
marvellous. Imagine for a moment
small, mild hammered girl directing
the operations of crew of trouble
men after a heavy storm or other ex-
ternal disturbance, in rapid, intelll-
gent manner.
She refuses to become excited when
the situation becomes trying but in
stead uses her head and handles the
case in hand automatically or with
the iron hand the occasion demands
and it is seldom that her judgment is
in error.
She certainly gets results that ne
cessarily make her popular with the
officials of the company. She is like
wise popular with the workmen be-
cause she knows her business and per
| forms it in such manner as to make
their duties a pleasure instead of irk-
! some
Mrs. Colburn entered the employ OF
the company as wire chief about one
| year ago and holds the position at the
! present time. She is pleasant and
! energetic as a fellow workman, in
telligent in the performance of her
duties and bright when replying to
witticisms.
4 good horse is her hobby and she
/ spends much of her spare time with
her driving horse. She shows the
same rare judgment with horses that
she uses at her desk.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Foster looks better in each succeed
ing game he pitches. Only five balls
were hit to the outfield by the Browns
yesterday, and two of those were easy
flies. He struck out eight batsmen.
Carrigan has changed his batting or
der so that it looks like old times
Hooper. Yerkes, Lewis, Speaker and
so on.
"Honus" Wagner was hurt in the
game with the Braves Tuesday and it
is feared that he may not be able to
play against the Giants. If he does
not play it means a loss of consider
able offensive and defensive strength
to the Pirates in what may be very
important series.
George Stallings is credited with
digging up Ray Caldwell, who has
been one of the sensations of this
baseball season. Stallings, when Man
ager of the New York Americans, dis
covered Ray at Wheeling, w. Va.
Francis of the New York Evening
Mail says that Jimmy Duffy. the Ham
ilton, Ont crack runner, who won the
b. A. A. Marathon. is likely to settle
in New York in the early fall and
of which Harry Smith is track cap
tain. Duffy should be a strong can
didate for Olympic Marathon honors
in Berlin in 1916, but if he does run
in that event it will have to be for
the United Kingdom.
a general impression exists among
Boston fans that BIZ Sweeney must
have had plenty of provocation to slam
Lee Magee in the expeditions and ar
tistic way that the press reports tell
us he did. Bill never impressed US
in Boston as man looking for trou-
bic. Apparently he does not run away
from it. Still discipline from higher
up is likely to be meted out to both
men for this little affair not on the
program of modern baseball.
Harry Vernon, the old Amherst
pitcher, who had John Henry of the
Washingtons as his Varsity catcher,
is coming back into the game with
the Brooklyn Federals. Vernon lives
in Mansfield, Mass. He was one of the
iron men in college baseball.
George Boardman, the former New
England League third sacIer, is visit
ing at his home in Lewiston. Board
man will manage the Moncton team in
the New Brunswick League this sum
mer and is in hopes to take Driscoll
and possibly some other local players
with him.
w j. Sweeney of the Chicago Ma
tionals and Lee Magee of the st. Louis
Nationals, who had a fight duGng the
Chicago-St Louis game Monday. were
fined $50 each by President Tener of
the National League.

Cleanup day in Hallowell proved
to be decided novelty but at the
same time it certainly was the cause
of a slight change in the general ap-
pearance of the main streets. The
work started at an early hour in the
morning and lasted until late in the
afternoon AS the result OF a call by
the Improvement Society, squad of
citizens volunteered their services and
with the aid of the school children and
the street commissioner and his force,
great results were accomplished. Load
after load of rubbish and refuse were
taken from the streets and at O'Clock
the streets presented an unfamiliar
but rather delightful appearance. The
credit of the undertaking is due chiefly
to the Hallowell Improvement Society,
an organization Composed of some OF
the women of HalloWell.

Latest Political Returns.

The official canvass of the election
returns yesterday indicated but little
change from the figures which were
obtainable last Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning, excepting that
Senator Smith lost the county to Col.
Darlington by four votes. The vote
in Hollands Island precinct, of Straits
district, was tie between the Demo-
cratic and Republican candidates,
each securing six votes; all twelve
votes were cast in favor of the Ca
nal and the School Bond. In Draw
bridge Senator Smith secured one
majority, the vote being 81 to 36,
while Duer received 6 majority, the
vote being Price, Sc; Duer, AZ. The
Canal received 9 votes and 46 were
cast against it; the School Loan re-
ceived 15votes and SO against it.
In Elliott, Senator Smith received 16
majority, and Congressman Price 10,
the vote being Price, 30; Duer, II.
The Canal won in the district, there
being 80 votes cast for it, against

ceived votes, while 81 were cast
against it.

CIRCUIT COURT TO
CONVENE NEXT WEEK.
Indications Point to a Short Term of
Court, as There Are But Few Ca
ses on The Docket Likely to Con-
sumo Much Time.

The Circuit Court for Dorchester
county will convene next Monday
morning, Nov. 8, at ten o'clock, and,
so far as can be judged from the doc
ket at this time, there does not seem
to be much likelihood of tn session
being a long one. The question or
the length of a term of Court, how
ever, is one that is hard to deter
mine in advance, as sometimes cases
that appear likely to be settled in a
short time frequently develop into
the hardest fought and longest
drawn out legal contests.
The length of the November term,
however, seems likely to depend up
on the action of the Grand Jury, but
at this time there are but few indica-
tions that it will be called upon to
celebrate upon more than the aver
age number of cases; in fact, there
seem to have been fewer violations of
the law since the last Grand Jury
convened than usual.
