TELEPHONE PATRONS
ASKED TO BE PATIENT

With two thirds of the operators at
the local telephone Exchange ill., the
work at the boards is being handled
by but a few, who are striving to do
three and four times the amount of
their usual work, which at any time
is not easy.
Patrons of the telephone are beg
ged to have some considerations for
the girls at the Exchange. Today, in
spite of conditions patrons have per-
sisted in being impatient and rude,
and in some cases offensive TO the
operators.
The Chief Operator was absent to-
day because of illness. and another
operator has fallen victim to the dis
ease besides those who were already
sick.
1t is patriotic duty to be consid-
crate to these operators who are still
holding out, and to be patient. as they
are taking Government calls and doing
their utmost for their country in their
line of work.
IL is not impossible to close the tele-
phone office if the public continues to
be offensive while the force is de-
pleted by the prevailing epidemic.

FUNERAL SERVICE
HELD IN WASHINGTON

The remains of Mrs. Pearl Abbott,
wife of Mr.. Reese Abbott, of this city,
were placed in a vault in a Washing
ton cemetery this afternoon, awaiting
burial at some future time when the
epidemic subsidies.
Deaths in Washington are so num-
erous that it is impossible TO secure
grave diggers, and bodies have to be
placed in vaults, as no body is per-
mitted to be sent away from the Dis
trict at this time
Funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. Abbott were held by Leaders in
the Christian Science Church, of
which the deceased was a member,
some of the members of the local
church going over to the last sad rites
which were at the home of the parents
of the deceased. Mr.. and Mrs. w. A.

ington.
The death was peculiarly sad, the
deceased having been i'll but a few
days. The husband is just recovering
from the disease. her little daughter is
ill, her mother and sister are both ill.
The deceased had lived in Annapolis
practically her whole life, having
come here with her parents when a
very young girl. her father at that
time being Manager of the Colonial
Theatre. She had many friends here
who were shocked at the news of her
death, not having learned of her ill
mes. Death was due to pneumonia.

LA GRIPPE EPIDEMIC
OF 1889 is RECALLED
Came to State After Having Swept
Over Europe and Thousands
Were III at One Time

AS Annapolis. Baltimore and the
rest of Maryland are being visited to-
day by an epidemic of influenza, so
were they visited by the same disease
back in 1889 and 1890. At that time
the disease came to the United States
from France and it was known as la
grippe.
In January 1SS9-9O between $4,000
and 100000 persons were said TO be
suffering from the disease in. Mary
land there being $4,000 in Baltimore
alone. At that time doctors and drug
gists were swamped and worked night
and day to stamp out the disease.
The epidemic reached Maryland
with a wave of murky weather about
the middle of December. AT first per-
sons were inclined to treat the matter
lightly and just as has been the case
in the present epidemic it was not
until thousands were stricken that the
outbreak was taken seriously.
On January %, 1890. a blizzard
ruck the State and the epidemic dis
appeared during the cold weather that
followed. The advertisements of la
grippe cures in the newspapers chang
ed to advertisements of tonics to be
taken after the disease
The epidemic of 1889 and 1890 strae-
ed in Russia and advanced westward
over Europe, visiting Germany, Aus
tria, France and Spain before coming
to America The Car of Russia was
stricken with the malady in Decem-
Der and was in a critical condition for
several weeks. His recovery was re-
ported in the papers early in January,
1890
On December %, 1889, $50 deaths
were reported in Paris from the di-
sease, and on January the Dowager
Empress Augusta of Germany, widow
of EMPEROR William L.. died at her
palace in Berlin. She had been suf-
fering from the disease several
weeks.
In its passage through Russia, Ger
many, Austria and Spain the disease
was called the influenza. but when it
reached France it was given the name
of la grippe. and under that name it
came to the United States

great forests of their own State, where
they worked as members of a forest
patrol and cooking in lumber camp.

woman attempted the task of cooking
for lumberjacks. She was paid $50 a
month as cook and domestic supervi-

WOMEN SUCCEED
AS BANKERS
The United States Encouraged by
England's Substitution of Girls
for Positions of Responsibility

One line of work for which women
have clearly demonstrated their fit
ness is banking. In England it is
reported that more than $4,000 bank
ing positions are now being filled by
women.
The process of filling bank jobs
with women in this country is also
going on at fairly rapid rate. Some
banks began to substitute girls for
men early in the war, and now have
a good proportion of feminine help.
The girls have been found highly eff
ficient and satisfactory workers in
most of these positions. They have
greater patience than men in routine
jobs, and some women are fully equal
to men in initiative
