his profession and which are required
at the White House, yet he is carried
on the Treasury roll MS a clerk. I'm.
der Grant he was rated as u $1,000
official, but Hayes has prompted him
to a $1,000 berth. 1t is thus that the

the other hand, that she could not
reach or hold the strap, owing to the
stays which she wore, and that, with
the present fashions, no lady could do
SO, at least without Inconvenience and
possible injury. The lower court de,
cided that the lady, in taking hold Of
a fellow passengers hand, had done all
that was necessary, and that, under
the circumstances, she was not obliged
to stretch up to the lamp. 1t award.
