Government Buildings to suffer in Con-
sequence of III 4 dYissd Economy.
WASHINGTON, July Under the pro-
visions Of the appropriation bill passed
last winter reduction of 30 per cent was
made in the appropriation for the pay OF
Jautors, watchmen. scrub-women and
others employed IN the public buildings
throughout the country. 1t is claimed
that the present wages Of employees are
barely sufficient, and that th e pay in the
majority Of cases is not at all cOmmensu-
rate with the work.
The Treasury officials are at their wits
end for "A solution Of the difficulty. They
say it is not possible to reduce the force
I'D per cent. and keep the buildings IN any
thing like presentable condition, while
on the other hand no one can be found 10
WORK At oue-th.Td less than the present
rate Of pay. Protests from Chicago, New
\ Ork. Boston and other places have been
received, but the Secretary says there is
nothing TO do but TO 1--we up to the prOyis-
ions Of the bill. 1t has been
suggested to him TO continue the
present force until the appropriation
has been exhausted, and then leave
the buildings in Il condition Of dizziness
that would cause such a howl Of popular
indignation against the parsimony OF the
appropriation committee as would edec-
tually prevent such legislation in the tu-
ture one Of the gentlemen, Mr. Ryan, a
Republican member of the committee
from Kansas, few days ago, rushed into
Assistant Secretary CoOn's Office. "LoOk
here, Coon" exclaimed he, 81 see you are
going TO cut down our list of watchmen
and scrub women at the public building
at Topeka"
Mr. coon nodded aflirmatively.
"Oh, but you must not do that" per-
sisted the Kansas Congressman; ''they
write to me that it will be impossible to
get along with any less number than
those already employed. \ GU really
must make reduction IN some other di-
reciOn.v
you forget, Mr.. Ryan" responded
the assistant secretary, "that when APP
peared before your committee last win
ter and assured you that our estimates
Tor this expenditure were as low as |
could possibly make them you informed
me that l was mistaken and that the old
appropriation was entirely too large.
J on are ready to believe me now, but tits
unfortunately too late. | regret to state
that after July the number of employees
at the Topeka building will be reduced
exactly One-third."

UNSAFE SAFETY VAULTS.
A Startling Discovery Made in New
York by an Honest Man.


/ NEW YORK, June Cultivate vaults
IN the Stock Exchange building are rented
TO members. One OF the tenants mis-
/ takenly opened somebody else's safe, and
only became aware Of the blunder when
/ ne began to handle securities which he
/ did not recognize as his own. Then ne
/ reported to the officials in charge, the &C.
currence was hushed UP so successfully
that II did not get published at the
time, and additional precautionary
/ measures were taken to guard
the receptacles Of wealth. NeYerthe-
less the subject Of risk In safe deposit
vaults has been general topic in Wall
street this week. There are nine OF them
ID the city. Of course, good portion OF
the deposits consists Of papers which
would not be valuable to thieves; but the
aggregate Of negotiable securities. actual
money, and such probabilities as jewelry
and plate is SO great that nobody under
takes to estimate it, The President of
one establishment guesses that his vaults
contain $3,000,000 in stuff that punderers
could use. The guardianship seems
perfect as against burglars
and sneak thieves. The lessees
Of safes must bring evidence of
identity every time they wish to enter,
and must be able to repeat their mdiyid-
they must open a lock in each OF two gate
ways, the combination being divulged
only to tenants. The rules and devices
vary somewhat in the different places, but
substantially they amount to the sure eX-
clusion Of merely interloping thieves.
Fire and force are practically impotent,
700. But the managers are COM
PEELED to admit that a conspiracy
among employees might result in the
complete cleaning out of any safe deposit
stronghold in town. All is done that
can be IN this matter. The humblest
pOrter's antecedents are carefully exam
ined before appointment and his conduct
afterward is scTutinized by means Of
spies. This rule is applied to the more
important officers. Recent thiefts by
well-reputed handlers OF treasure, how
ever, have demonstrated that real char
acter is not discoverable until events
divulge it, and there is a genuine agita-
ton over the apparently unavoidable
risk, even III the vauptedly Impregnable
vaults. Three to six persons could con-
spire for the biggest burglary in the his
tory Of crime.

HIRED WIVES AND CHILDREN
A Dodge to Induce Robbed Persons Not
to Appear Against the Thieves.
From the Ne7p York Sun


Henry w. Jenkins, a member of the Pc
troleum Exchange. who lives at 30S West
FOrty-ifth street, made up his mind to go
TO the country, and week ago the family
packed lot Of trunks and stored them in
the basement. A lot of clothing was
placed on a sofa near the trunks. On
Monday night or Tuesday morning the
basement window was opened, and the
clothing was stolen. Detective Riley ar
rested James Doyle and Thomas Sweeney
and found the stolen articles in their pos
session. They were arraigned in the
Y0rkville Police Court yesterday. Doyle
said he was a waiter and lived at 34S
West Thirty street. Sweeney
said he had no occupation or residence.
Doyle, who was stylishly dressed, in
sisted that he had found the clothing in an
area, and that Sweeney took it for his
children.
Mr.. Jenkins told the Justice that he did
not want to press the charge against
Sweeney, because a woman with four lit
tie children had called on him and begged
him not to. She sad that he was her hus-
band and sole support.
''YOu must press the CHARGE" said the
Justice. This is getting to be an old
dodge. Every thief and burglar has some
woman who VIII represent herself to be
his wife, and will hire children for the oc-
casIon. 1t is time TO put a stop to it. l
think these fellows are hook and stick
thieves. 1t Is a new dodge. They put in a
hook attached to stick and pick up
things in that way. You owe it to the
people to make your affidavit against
them''
Mr.. jenkins complied very uuwillingly
The prisoners were held IN 81, 900 each fol

COUNTY ELECTIONS.
A strong effort is being made to have
the election for county officers take place
in the spring instead Of in November with
the general election. This, il adopted,
will have the effect of taking these Offices
out OF politics to some eXtent, which, of
course, will result in great good TO all
parties concerned, and especially 10 the

interested in securing efficient and non
