CHINESE PHONE GIRL
HAS STRENUOUS TASK
She Must Remember Thousands Of
Names and Many Dialects.

There is a telephone exchange IN
Chinatown. San Francisco, that is I'M
like any other in the world. In the
first place, it is housed in bit of
richly carved and highly colored archi-
lecture that looks like a picture
press far" or like bit of old Pekin
set down in modern city.
When the visitor enters he is re-
ceived by a man in rich Chinese
garb, but an up to date business man,
and quite American in everything but
his race and costume. He is an ex-
pert electrician AID he has charge Of
the exchange which serves all the
Chinese customers in the city and its
suburbss
There are about a thousand tele-
phones In the Chinese quarter, and
calls up to 5000 in number are
handled every day by the dainty little
oriental girls VINO sit at their work
clad in the costumes of their own
people. These girls have, in addition
to a perfect knowledge of English, a
command of the different Chinese
dialects that are spoken in the
quarter.
More wonderful than that. however.
Is the fact that these "centralS" must
remember the name and number of all
subscribers, since the Oriental does
not call by number.

A SUDDEN CHANGE

A newspaper, man born and rear
ed in this city, but who for long
time had been resident OF Baltl-s
more, while on visit to his old,
home several years ago called at
this office. He had almost from the
time he entered his majority been
employed on papers Of Baltimore.
During his conversation he asked us
if we had not noticed that certain
paper in the monumental city never
printed the name of Alexandria IN
any connection whatever. We had
not noticed this alleged omission,
but from that time in CHANGING over
the paper referred to we became
convinced that our friend was cor
rect. Although containing long col
umns of happenings in Virginia
many of trivial nature-no dis
patches from Alexandria appeared
in the paper. Our attention was es-
pecially directed to this some time
ago when a legal decision was de-
livered in this city. The decision
was of general interest throughout
the state and was published IN most
papers. The Baltimore paper publish
ed it, but the man who prepared the
copy dated the dispatch "Freder-
icksburg."
After reading the dispatch our
mind went back to ante bellum
times, when the paper referred to
was in its boyhood days and its
publishers were endeavoring to raise
4 subscription list in Alexandria. It
succeeded in securing some sub
5cribers, and for time the paper
was distributed by carrier to num-
bsrs of Alexandrians.
This circulation. however. was
net maintained ard it finally became
20 contracted that the mail was
u@cd to supply the few subscribers
r our city. This is being done today.
About twenty years ago an at
'cmpt was made to secure a large
circulation in this city, but it
,rCved failure.
We were rather surprised this
ncrning to see the following item in
-ur contemporary:

PURposED INCREASED FARE.

Alexandria is not the only city
which is being caused by anxiety by
the intended increase in electric rail
way rates. The following was
printed in Philadelphia paper to-
day;
woodbury. n. j., Sept. IMAM
tua, Almonesso and Blackwood,
towns tuoched by the trolley road.
are going to lose some Of t.:c:r good
citizens, it is claimed, because of the
increase in fares which go into ef-
feet en- Sunday. There are scores
cf, men with families who moved to
these rural sections while employed
at. the big industries above this city,
because of the low fares. The rates
have increased once, and now a new
schedule of fares will cut swath
in the salaries. With the opening
cf Norcg and Yorkship, hundreds OF
homes are available, and many OF
these people are preparing to move
fhere-at least for the winter"
Alexandria is facing similar condi-
tons. Thousands Of our people are
employed in Washington, and they
utilize the electric railway in max
ing the trips between the two cities.
In fact there is no other mode OF
transportation except by steam
trains which do not leave this city
or Washington at hours to suit COM
muters. Besides many who work III
Washington would be compelled to
traverse mile twice day in max
ing trips from the union passenger
station.
Alexandria is facing an ordeal.
During the past two years our pop
ulaticn has greatly increased, and
we desire to keep tie newcomers
with us. Many Of them reside in
Alexandria and work in Washing
ton. Doubling the fare between the
two cities will surely decrease our
population, as it is about to do in
the New Jersey towns referred to.
People who reside in the south
eastern section Of the city, have
been allowed to remain on the Mt.
Vernon trains until they pass Fran
lin street. or within a square or two
Of their homes. This is appreciated,
especially during inclemont weather.
This privilege. it is said. will be de-
MED in future if passengers refuse
70 nay extra fare.
