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. Curtain. DAVIDSON WILL TALKFOR POWERS Excitement Prevailed When Kentuckian Appeared at Trial.
