A Journal reporter was out on tbs
river one night this week and missed thu
midnight car. Forced to walk home, hi
stopped to talk with police roundsman
and it was / o'clock when he resumed
his way. Just then bull's-eye Lantern
was seen moving along the WOODWARD
avenue car track, and soon two men wer,
opposite the store IN the portico of which
the reporter and officer stood chatting.
what do you find this morningP
asked the officer of the man carrying thu
bull's.eye.
''Dis vos not VERY good mornin',
was the answer; ''youst couple OF
handkerchief, Won pair of glove, Won game
und two dollar. Maybe we gets more,
but dots all now," and the curious pro
cession moved on.
"What are those fellows doing2'
queried the reporter.
Seeking what they may find. That's
pair of old regulars. They are on
deck every morning, good weather OF
bad. They hustle along the street rail
ways and put everything of value they
can find into that bag they carry. That
is, they profess too; but once in while
we take the liberty of examining their
clothes and have hit upon bracelet, a
watch, ring, charm or necklace that the
owner is very glad to have returned.
They do thriving business. Young
fellows that catch the last car are often
three sheets in the wind, hilarious and
unfit to transact business with prudence,
They dropmoney, cane, handkerchief,
pair of gloves, an umbrella, sometimes
a hat, and occasionally watch when toe
stupid to have any realization of what is
go ng on. Ladies from the theatres drop q
shawl or other wrap, bracelet, and
frequently other articles of jewelry. These
| chaps make clean sweep Of their route
and very often CLEAN good harvest. A
fair reward generally induces a return oil
any valuable to its rightful owner, but
if that is not fol- the ON ng the rule tina
finders are keepers is enforced. There
are number of men and boys in the city
that are in the same business. A gooC
many stores are swept out at night, anC
before daylight these sweepings have
been gone through as carefully as if it
were known there was gold dollar il
every shovelGul. Rag piles are picked over
and every gutter along the business
streets is scanned with the same care
All-night houses and gambling resort
are regarded as bonanzas and they ar,
looked after front and rear. All the fel
lows in the business seem to be doin!

Paw of COngressmen.

When a member dies his pay ceases on
the day of his death. The salary OF tie
successor commences the day after the
deceage of the former member, though
the election may not occur for several
months. The new member, in other
words, draws pay for the time he never
served.
A member is allowed twenty cents mile
age each way, or forty cents mile one
way, and he can check for the full
amount of both trips when he takes his
seat. He is allowed $125 year for
stationery. The most of this sum Is
pocketed.
The members draw their money in dit.
fercnt ways. There are probably twenty
of the pre- ent House who let their salaries
run into nest eggs. Scott, of PennSyl
vania, has over years salary owing him
about $4,000. There are couple Of
dozen of mem bers who always over lraw,
or, rather, borrow from the head of the
bank. They borrow or get in advance
sums ranging from $40 to $500, and al
the end of the month they have nothing,
The great majority of the members draw
all that is coming to them at the end oil
each month, particularly those who have
their families with them. Some of them
never see an outside bank, but let theiI
monthly salary remain and diaw it out
in small sums. Others take out theil
salaries and place them in other banks
But this is not done as much as formerly
A number Of them got caught in the
Middleton Bank that broke some time
ago.
Most of the members do all theil
financial business over the counter of the
Congressional bank, and some of them
pile checks up as high as $50, 900 in q
single session. = Washington Hatchet.

The following from the State Of yester
day is reproduced by request;
Property on West Franklin street is
assessed high. This is especially the case
west of Laurel street. Lots have recently
been sold on this street at what would
have seemed fabulous prices quarter OF
a century ago. OF course when assess
ments are heavy it follows that taxes are
high. Notwithstanding this fact the con-
dition of that thoroughfare, not only in
the West End, but from Fifth street out
is in bad condition. Beyond Laurel it is
very bad, and persons living in that sec
ton of the city are in bad weather COM
PEELED to drive up some other street. The
people of that section intend petitioning
the City Council for needed relief
Jefferson street south is another hard
locality From Main street, across the
connection railway, around to Beverly
street, and thence down Beverly to Abe
marie street to and out Pine-street church,
is real country road, and very bad one
at that. 1t is not necessary to mention
Reservoir street or to speak of the red
clay on Beverly street beyond Cherry, or
the Main-street walk up Libby Hill. All
of these are monumental mud holes, and
will never be better until they are perma-
nently improved
