THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2«.
A COMEDY OF A PARTY LINE,
OR “GET OFF THE WIRE!”
P0TCSP1
First Stage of Journey
Finished Day Ahead
of Itinerary.
Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 24.—
Sixteen battleships and their smaller
followers, composing the American
fleet, anchored in four columns in the
guf of Para, five miles off Port of
Spain, at 6 o’clock last evening.
The voyage of the fleet from Hamp
ton Hoads was highly successful, and
their arrival here was one day ahead
of the, itinerary. The average speed of
the journey has been a fraction more
than 10 knots on hour.
The passage was so smooth, even off
Hatteras, that not even new recruits
were seasick. The only mishaps were
the temporary/ disarrangement of the
steering gear Of the Kentucky, on De
cember 20, causing her temporarily to
drop out of position; a similar oc
currence on the Illinois on the same
day and another pn the Georgia on
Saturday.,
Maneuvers were frequent during the
cruise, the usual formations being
double column or line of divisions,
consisting of four columns.
The fleet found five colliers here.
The first division and the Missouri
will coal today and the others later.
The Glacier, the Panther and the Cul-
goa are here, so the fleet will consist
of twenty vessels when It leaves.
The athletic spirit of the officers of
the fleet has led to arrangements for
a boat race over a half mile course
on Christmas morning. Other athletic
events are to follow.
Christmas presents from loved ones
at home will be distributed tomorrow.
The torpedo boat flotilla which left
here Sunday morning at 8 o’clock for
Rio de Janeiro, on its way to the Pa
cific, returned here today because of
nn accident to the machinery of the
Lawrence. The damage is not serious
and it Is estimated that the repairs
can be made in one day.
The supply ship Arethus has gone on
to Para.
TIME—Last week.
PLACE—Office of Manager W. B.
Roberts, Atlanta exchange Southern
B*!l company,
CAST—Mr. Roberts, First Angry
Woman, Second Angry Woman.
Enter First Angry Woman. 'Tin
niad, and Just as mad as I can be.”
Mr. Roberts, smiling affably: “Please
don’t say that. Pray be seated,
madam, and pour thy troubles into my
willing ear.”
“I want my 'phone changed, and I
want to get on another line. Yes, my
number is umpty-steen-blank-L., and
a m ! ,ne w,th vei *y undesirable
people. They are a common lot and
their conversation over the wire when
i try to use the phone convinces me
i dont want to be on their line. No.
I don’t know who they are, and I
don t want to. All I w'ant is my
phone changed, and I want the same
number back.”
Mr. Roberts, smiling" still more
pleasantly: “I will gladly take you off
the L. and J. line, but I will have to
change your number. I don’t want any
of our patrons to be on a line with
people they consider objectionable.”
First Angry Woman gets in better
humor, consents to change in number,
is profuse In her thanks, and rises to
depart.
/Enter, hurriedly, Second Angry
\\ Oman, excited and frowning: “I
want the manager of this exchange,
and I want to see him quick."
Then continues, before First Angry
Woman leaves: “I want my ‘phone
changed so I won’t be on a line with
objectionable persons. I don’t want my
number changed, either. I can never
temember a new one. Whenever I go
to use my ’phone, some undesirable
person on the line Is holding a conver
sation that disgusts me. and I don’t
desire even a telephone connection
with such persons. My number? Yes,
It’s umpty-steen-blank-J."
Manager Roberts turns pale, clutches
wildly nt his desk, and sinks to his
chair, wiping beads of perspiration
from his brow and glancing wildly
from First Angry Woman, to Second
Angry Woman.
He murmurs: ”Yes, madam, I ap
preciate your position.”
First Angry Woman, sweetly to Sec
ond Angry Woman: "I’ve Just been
telling Mr. Roberts a similar experi
ence and I can certainly sympathlxe
with you. I think it’s a shamef wo have
to listen to such obnoxious individuals
I hope Mr. Roberts will relieve you of
such vexations as he has been kind
enough to do for me. Gyod morning. 1
Exit First Angry Woman,
Second Angry Woman: "I can easily
see that lady has had the same kind
of trouble I have had. 1 wish I knew
her, so I could sympathlxe with her
more. You'll attend to It, won't you,
Mr. Roberts?”
Mr. Roberts, stnring at two numbers
written on a note pad, with horror
written on his features: “Cer-cer
certainly, madam.” Exit Second Angry
Woman, In good humor.
Mr. Roberts, about to collapse: “Hor
rors! Roth on the same line, and
didn’t know It!" He faints.

with the laboring man.

DO NOT PERMIT
CONSTITUTION TO
CRIPPLE NATION
New York. Dec. 24.—Justice Harlan,
associate justice of the United States
supreme court, last night addressed
the Kentucky Association at a dinner
at the hotel Plaza.
President Roosevelt, Vice President
Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon sent
letters of regrets.
After answering recent criticisms of
the administration, Justice Harlan
closed by saying:
"Let us not give our approval to
nny Interpretation of the constitution
which will either cripple the nation’s
power and prostrate the nation at the
feet of the states, or that will deprive
the state* of their Just powers. Let
us hold fast to the broad and liberal
and yet safe rules of constitutional
construction approved by the fathers
and established by Judicial decisions.”
A Fortunate Texan.
Mr. E. W. Goodloe, of 107 St. Louis

year I have become acquainted with
Dr. King’s New Life Pills, and no laxa
tive I ever before tried so effectually
disposes of malaria and biliousness.”
