part of the repairs. In the auditorium

forward about 25 feet, thus making pro
visions for 200 people In this part of the

Servants Answer
TWO LETTERS FROM PORTLAND GIVING
THE GIRLS' SIDE OF THE QUESTION $r sr
An article by Mrs. John A Logan, in Tho
Sunday Oregonian. entitled:, "The Servant
Question Wanted, an Agreement." has pro
voked answers from the Portland people, who
take up- the pen In defense of those whom they
believe Mrs. Logan misrepresents. These let
ters follow:
PUT YOURSELF 1SX HER PLACE.
Ono Suggestion as to How to Reach
an Agreement.
T HAVE been much Interested for sev-
eral years in the discussions which
have from time to time arisen in Tho
Oregonian on tho servant question. It
has been a source of regret to me that a
class so necessary to tho comfort of the
wage-earners (meaning the men In this
case) should have so few to give them
a good word, while everybody (meaning
the ladles) seems ready to push them
down.
Mrs. Logan, whoso very Interesting
article appeared In tho Sunday paper,
draws, if I mistake not, a liberal pen
sion from the Government. Well and
good. But did she, I wonder, stop to
consider that it is tho fathers and broth
ers in many cases of these same girls
she has tried to belittle who aro help
ing to put up tho money to keep her In
luxury?
I donder how many of tho ladles in
Portland who make the inefficiency of
their respective servants tho subject of
conversation when they meet could get
the work done from 6 A. M. to 9 P. M.
which that same despised girl docs. And
I wonder if they would be as good-humored
'as she as 6he tolls up two flights
of stairs (three in Winter, for then the
furnace has to be filled tho last thing)
to her tiny room, where, in many cases,
aro gathered tho left-overs from past
housecleanlngs, matting full of holes,
rugs hardly fit for a dog's bed, cracked
or broken bowl and pitcher, where tho
girl, after her hard and dirty work of
cleaning, keeping the furnace filled with
coal, sweeping, etc, must manage her
ablutions, for tho houses are not few In
this city where a girl, no matter what
her birth or breeding, nor what the ref
erences she gave, would be considered
too contaminating to use the bath-tub.
I know of one llttlo American girl in
this city who did the cooking and order
ing, etc, for a family of 13, counting
company who were in the house steadily,
and her grocery bill for ono month
amounted to $35. The lady of the house
thought that a terrible bill, for all they
belong to what Is termed tho swell set,
and like to have everything that's going.
I would like to meet tho woman who
could do better than that less than $3
per month apiece and do the labor, both
mental and physical. What woman, who
understands the art of managing a
house, will fall to coincide with me when
I say that the mental strain is the heav
iest? There are some ladles in Portland who
Commandments Duties to Men." At 11
o'clock the pastor. Rev. J. J. Staub, will
jjjjach on "Strange Ways Which Lead to

Mrs Logan
know when they are getting good serv
ice, who can appreciate tho quiet-voiced
woman who makes everything come to
gether for their comfort without trou
bling them with tho details; one who
has been In the business long enough to
be known by the leading dealers, so that
when she rings up and says, "Mr. ,
can you send me thus and so right away?
This Is ." She gets the best there
Is In the market, at once.
Then, there are others, and their -names
are legion, who could not appreciate
such service, and who do not understand
buying. They go downtown in the aft
ernoon and buy hap-haznrd as late as
5 o'clock the material for dinner, ex
pecting the girl to have everything pre
pared In a satisfactory manner. I know
of one cose where the madam compelled
the girl to commenco xipenlng lazor
clams at 5:30 to be baked fof 6 o'clock
dinner.
The best results arc not obtainable un
der such circumstances. The meals for
the day should be planned the day be
fore, or early In the morning of the same
day (subject to change, if necessary),
then ordering can be dono oarly in the
day, and not have to take cullings which
have stood in the heat and sun all day.
The girl. If she has the abllltv, can save
on tho feed more readily than if she did
not know what was coming into the
house
Mrs. Logan complains that tho girls
leave their places and then demand their
pay in fulL Let me tell you of an In
stance: A well-known business man
made an agreement with a girl to come
and work. The family was going to
leave the city in about a month, and he
wanted, some one, " so he said, to take
care of the house during their absence
and Btay at least till they got some one
else on their return. The girl went to
work, and 'during the month they had
carpenter work, painting, electric wires
strung, several dinner parties, etc, then
the woman came to her and said
"There's a girl wants to stay In the
house while we are gone, and It won't
cost us so much. She Is coming this
afternoon."
"You mean you don't want me any
longer?" '
"Yes."
"Well. I made a bargain with your
husband to stay till you came back from
your trip. The least you can do Is to
give me a month's- wages if you send
me away like this."
But she got Just what she earned, and
no more. Not long ngo I saw an appeal
to the voters over that man's signature,
saying: "If my friends have any con
fidence in my word, they will vote for so
and so." I thought. If they knew as
well what his word is worth as that girl,
it would not bring many votes to the
man.
Does any one consider It wonderful,
after a girl has been treated that way.
If she tries the same plan? That Is only
one man, however, and I am sorry, sorry
to be compelled to bring It against them,
for, so far as I have been able to ob
serve, men are much kinder to servants
than their wives are.
A highly respected professional gentle
man of this city said to mo one day: "I
had never thoucrht of such a tMno- no
1 there being people who would not allow
the girls to use the front door till I saw
one day an ad. In The Oregonian. . Some
girl said she didn't want. a room In the
basement, and she did want to go In and
out the front door." Will some of the
ladles give a guess how many there are
In Portland who would permit such a
thing?
It may be that some day, some time,
many of these two classes will enter In
at a narrow gate side by side. There
will be no distinction there. Then would
it not be better to apply that golden rule
of "Do unto others as you would be done
by," remembering that a smile and a
kind word to those less fortunate than
ourselves is like the cup of cold water
given In His name, and will bring us
manifold blessings.

PLAIX PLEA FOR KIXDXESS.
A Housemaid Relates Her Experience
in Portland.-
'"""HHAT there are In every branch of
industry help of all degrees, good,
bad and Indifferent, no one can deny,
but no class of public servants are
more scorned than the general housework
girl. I will state a recent occurrence.
Being from choice, and not necessity. In
my childhood an adept at housework, I
chose it as I grew older, served In some
of tho best families East. With refer
ences of years, "both written and personal,
1 came to Portland, and found the best
families supplied with Japanese and Chi
nese. I secured a place where a family
had recently returned from an oullng.
The work was heavy, but before engag
ing, I had a thorough understanding of
my days out and work required. Being
of a happy disposition, I was accustomed
to sing at my work, but was Informed
that it annoyed the family. I determined
at all cost to stay and get good Port
land references, having given satisfac

Then the trouble commenced. I was In
SERMONS OVER THE 'PHONE
INDIANA TOWN MAKES REALITY
OF BELLAMY'S DREAM r r r sr
THE dream of Edward Bellamy, that the
people could some Jlme remain at
home on Sunday and listen to the sermons
of their ministers by telephone, has been
realized in Washington, says a Washing
ton, Ind., special to the Indianapolis News.
The people of the entire county sat
yesterday and listened to the words of
a minister miles away. Yet every word
could be as distinctly heard as if tho
listeners sat In the largo church beforo
the Bpeaker. The songs wero likewise
transmitted.
The system is the only one In the coun
try, and the people of Daviess County
and of Washington are the only ones
who ever enjoyed the pleasures of sit
ting In their homes. In business offices
or at any point where a telephone Is
available and listening to the church ex
ercises, not missing anything except the
collection-box.
Dne to a Telephone War.
There has been a telephone war on here
between the Independent Company and the
Central Union, and the Central Union
proposed to the ministers to put In a free
telephone service In all the churches and
to arrange connections so that all patrons
of the company. If they desired, could
listen to the church services
Connections were not all made In time,
and only one church In the city was
available yesterday to the telephone pa
trons. That was the Christian Church.
The other churches will bo connected
up by next Sunday, so that one can listen
to a sermon by any minister in the city
while sitting at home by calling over the
telephone and asking "central" to connect
him with his particular church.
If you do not enjoy the sermon, you
may ring off and try another, and your
spiritual adviser will never be any the
wiser.
Service AVI11 Be Bettered.
The line connected with the Christian
Church yesterday was only a temporary
affair. It was not meant to be perma
nent, the company expecting to take It
out next week and have It replaced by a
better line. It was put In hurriedly, but
gave excellent results. Hundreds of peo
ple of the city, scores of subscribers
throughout the county and many In neigh
boring cities called the telephone office
and asked to be connected with the
church, so that they could hear the ser
mon over the telephone.
Dying: Woman Heard a Sermon.
In the city several pathetic cases were
noted, and a woman near death's door,
before she died, desired to hear the Word
of God preached once more at least. She
told her wishes to a friend, who
volunteered to provide her with such an
arrangement that she could listen to a
sermon by telephone yesterday. When the
line was tested Saturday night. Immedi
ately after Its completion, the old lady
was taken to the home of a neighbor,
where a telephone Is located, and there
placed in a bed. A small watch-case re
ceiver was secured and placed to her ear.
Suddenly, as the sick woman listened In
tently, tho telephone operator switched
the lino on, and the invalid, who had not
been In a church for years, heard In
powerful tones the song, "Jesus, Lover
of My Soul." Tears streamed down her
cheeks, and she thanked God that once
moro she was allowed to hear, even If she
could not see, those things which were so
dear to her.
The company has made an offer to the
churches that If they have any ill or In
jured who cannot afford a telephone, and
a temporary line is detlred, the company
will put It In without cost.
The Arrangement Described.
The system was put In under the direc
tion of Casslus Alley, manager of tho
Central Union here, and the scheme Is an
invention of his own, which has never
been installed at any other point. The
working of the system Is simple, an In
dependent line being run to the church,
and then a row of holes on the switch
board at tho central office being "thrown
together" In such a manner that any
number of subscribers can be connected.
At the church the work Is likewise sim
ple. The wire passes along the wall and
floor unseen and goes to the pulpit,
where It Is connected with the transmit
ter, which Is hidden in the pulpit. The
transmitter Is small, being only about
(wo Inches In diameter, but It Is highly
sensitized and very delicate, and the least
sound Is magnified to such an extent that
everything Is heard plainly. The preach
ing, the singing and praying all arc clear
ly distinguishable over the line.
May Dodge Collection-Box.
The installation of the system has sew
eral features about It which are laugh
able. For instance, the man that feels

Then, again, if you do not like the ser

another sermon, for you can have sermons

M An Unhnppy "Wife on Love.
"Confessions of a Wife," In the Century.
"It seems to me that if we could go
back and try all over again, we might be
happy yet Love does not die. Love is
the life everlasting. It suffers maladies
and syncopes, and It may be hard bested
and have to fight for Its life but it is
formed that the married daushter and
family were coming for a visit, which
made anr addition of four extra to cook
I and wash for and wait on. and no extra
compensation. I like children, but it
was calls given and returned, children
left for the girl to look after; evenings
to parties and theater, and children left
for the girl to put to bed, and as -no par$
of the house was mine, except a bedroom
at the top of the house, where I would
not ask a cat to sleep, I spoke to the
lady In kindness about It. She simply
told me If I was dissatisfied I could go.
Next morning, without warning, another
came to take my place before my month
had expired. Having no friends to stay
with, and a trunk, I was, as all of us
are, compelled to board and pay express
age on my trunk, until I could secure an
other place, which I soon did on the East
Side.
I had a good home and was kindly
treated not as one of the family, for I
do not desire it, but was allowed papsrs
to read, and the use of the sewing ma
chine to make my clothes on. If we as
human beings would remember it Is all
the home many of the girls hive, and
would teach children to treat us with
respect, much of tho trouble could be
avoided, especially as to allowing them
to bring companions with them to invade
the kitchen, with muddy feet, and toys,
and books left for U3 to put away. Our
hours are long enough, from the first
breakfast, when the gentleman leaves,
until the last one comes to breakfast,
which Is late, having been out the night
before. It is wash day. The bell rings.
Ybu are expected to appear at the door
clean and with a white apron at a mo
ment's notice. If you will as employers
remember us as not wa'ntlng to Intrude
on your privileges and treat us simply
as you desire to be treated, you can. In
most cases avoid trouble, for It Is costly
and troublesome to change. I have the
best references now and could. earn much
higher wages, but kindness' Is more to
me than money; and I am contented. I
have some money saved for sickness, and
the future looks brighter thin the past.

After years of patient study, and delv

well as following modern experiments In
the realms of medical science. Dr. James

covered the elixir of life. That he Is
able with the aid of a mysterious com
pound, known only to himself, produced
as a result of the years he has spent In
searching for this precious life-giving
boon, to cure any and every disease that
is known to tho human body. There Is
no doubt of the doctor's earnestness in
making his claim, and the remarkable
cures that he Is dally effecting seems to
bear him out very strongly. His theory
which he advances Is one of reason and
based on sound experience In a medical
practice of many years. It costs nothing
to try his remarkable "Elixir of Life," as
he calls it. for .he sends it free to anyone
who is a sufferer, in sufficient quantities
to convince of Its ability to cure, so there
Is absolutely no risk to run. Some of
the cures cited arc very remarkable, and
but for reliable witnesses would hardly
be credited. The lame have thrown away
crutches and walked about after two or
three trials of tho remedy. The sick,
given up by home doctors, have been re
stored to their families and friends In per
fect health. Rheumatism, neuralgia,
stomach, heart, liver, kidney, blood and
skin diseases and bladder troubles disap

nervousness, fevers, consumption, coughs,
colds, asthma, catarrh, bronchitis and all
affections of the throat, lungs or any
vital organs are easily overcome In a
space of time tha-t Is simply marvelous.
Partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia,
dropsy, gout, scrofula and piles are quick
ly and permanently removed. It purifies
the entire system, blood and tissues, re
stores normal nerve power, circulation
and a state of perfect health is produced
at once. To the doctor all systems are
alike "and equally affected by this great

what you want to be cured of and the
