Tho most interesting statis tics upon tho tolophono industry aro thoso which mark its gradual development since IS81 whon a systematic collection of data portaluing tho subject was begun Tho company had 07422 circuits and 123085 stations established in 1881 and tho business was divided among 100 ox changes tho ontlro force employed mini Inning 4712 mon women and children Today tho pny roll

of tho business in the last llftoon yoars but they fail outiroly to show tho im portance of this niothod of communica tion iu tho daily commercial ami social life of the nation A hotter illustration is afforded by tho fact that Inst yonr 1211000000 connections woro made through exchanges in this country or y82l700 daily conversations as ostimat ed from tho aotnal count iu many of tho cities of tho country Tho uso of tho toll lino Bystom conueoting city ox changes with suburban points has also greatly increased tho uumbor of con noctious thus mado during tho last year being 30000000 This is entirely iu dependent of tho long distnnco orvice and furnishes another proof of the growing importanco of this method of communication as a social factor Tho number of subscribers furnishod last year was increased by nearly 81000 which is certainly a romarkablo show ing wheu it is remombored that tho Boll exchanges lost many thousands of pa trons through competition It must bo remombored too that tho independent telephone movoment which has boon growing rapidly since the expiration of tho fundamental Boll patents six years ago has assumed inv portaut proportions and that its pro moters and supporters have established in the neighborhood of 3000 oxchauges throughout tho country Naturally many of these nro in small places where tho Bell companys rntes had proved an insurmountable bnrrier but others aro iu towns whore exohangos have been in operation Tho low rates of tho anti- Bell companies have great Jy stimulated tho business and placed the service within the reuoh of many who could not afford tho Boll prices In spite of tho reduction iu prices tho charactor of tho service has boon im proved as competition has made it necessary for the Boll company to uso inventions and improvements that oth erwise would have beou buriod This was the policy of the Bell manage ment during tho period wheu it enjoyed monopoly but this course had to b ttbaudoued as soon as tho iudopondont movement got fairly uuder way An exchauge says It is a pitiable fact that mothers will trust their daugh ters to the caro of worthless young men whom tho fathers would not even trust with the family carriage horse This is a end fact and one which mothers can well afford to tako time to consider The father is naturally the best judge of a young mans character as tho mother is that of a young woman If more caro were exercised iu the selection of a young girls compauy there would be fewer cases of a scandalous nature as that which has thrown Norfolk society into a tumult during the past tow weeks and which is occupying the atteutiou of other communities in various parts of the state and nation Tho character of a young lady is her best treasure and one which her lawful protectors
