The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
set aside the following amounts to pay the
clerical force of the Board of Aldermen
Clerk, IS, 900; Deputy, 81, 500; four clerks at
81, 200 each; four clerks at 81, 600 each; Sergeant
alarms, 5000; Librarian, 81, 900; two messengers,
5000; total, $40, OOO.
Francis ]. Twomey and Richard E. Mott
have already been elected Clerk and Deputy
Clerk, and this leaves s12, 800 worth of pat
ronage to be distributed among the Alder
men. The two officials selected are credited
at large and have no individual Aldermanic
hackers.
There are twenty-three Democratic men,
bers of the Board. President Forster,
ice-President Bowling and Finance Com
mittee Chairman Diver, by virtue
of the honor heaped upon them, are
not entitled to any patronage. This
leaves $12,5O worth of Office holding to
be divided among twenty hungry Aldermen:
If there should be an equitable division OF
this sum among twenty Aldermen, the APP
pointee of each would receive a salary Of
| S625 q year. But the patronage cannot be di-
| vided that way.
If the schedule of the Board of Apportion-
ment is followed there are only twelve places
outside OF the CLERK and Deputy CLERK at the
disposal of the twenty Aldermen. Thus
eight Aldermen would have to be left out in
the cold if the plums were divided by a draw-
ing out of a hat.
The result is that the twenty Aldermen
have made up their minds that the proper
thing to do would be to apportion the S12. SOC
among the would-be clerks and to pick of
| $500 from the salaries Of the Clerk and
Deputy Clerk to throw into q grab bag OF
general clerical fund. But q doubt exists as

The question has been referred to Corpora.

Apportionment of 1887. To be consistent he
would now, as the law adviser, be compelled

AS the matter now stands. the new Board
of Aldermen has only two clerks-a chief and
a deputy. The twenty Aldermen are KEEP

The STRUGGLE FOR BREAD
POOR PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM THE
GREED OF MIDDLEMEN.

Women and Girls Compelled 20 Work IN
Box-Like Rooms for n Bare Pittanco-
l Something should be Done 60 Break Up
the Tenement-House System - Gregory
Weinstein's Views of the Matter.
Many of the w~orkingwomen and girls who
suffer from the tenement-house system and
the middlemen on the east side are in O con-
dition Of the most abject poverty. Their
struggle for bread is indeed a hard one, and
bread is about all they get. and very little of
that.
Gregory Weinstein, an intelligent printer,
who is well known in organized labor circles
as an energetic worker among the poor
people and who has endeavored to get them
to aid in lettering their condition, said to-
day to an EVENING WORLD reporter
The statement of The EVENING WORLD
some time ago regarding the condition of the
poor women who work in the tenements IN
the east side was not exaggerated in the least.
/ have seen women and little girls packed
like sardines in q box in one or two rooms,
all working as If their very lives depended
upon it, and it does, for they get but a mere
pittance for their labor from the men who
put work in theta hands and from which they
derive a big profit and grow fat and lazy.
The combined efforts Of a family Of five
will not bring more than S12 O week, and
ullty WIN uuy IL IiBht VI tiut. luth
when one or more of them fall sick, as they
often do from sheer exhaustion and lack Of
proper food, they are set back and become
poorer than before, if that were possible.
Il think that something should be lone
to break up the system under which they
work.
They are employed in making all kinds
of garments for men who obtain contracts
fleece these poor women by taking advantage
of their poverty and forcing them to work
at the prices they offer or get no work at all.
In man instances these leeches are abso-
helping hand to the poor unfortunates who
are really slaves to them"

1T was her laugh that the parrot had
learned, and IL was o good deal like hers, only
that the parrot seemed TO be making funo Of q
fellow.
II had put my foot on the first stair and
was going up thinking everything was all
right since they were talking and laughing.

on them with q dagger raised in his right
hand.
He stabbed Yang in the back five or six
times as fast as he could. II didn't take half
O minute, he was SO quick about 1t. Yang
gave a groan and tumbled to the floor.
Nellie had not realized at first what was
done. But as she saw her husband driving
the dirk into poor Yang like lightning she
saw that his bad temper had broken out.
She sprang to her feet, but did not give any
cry. I guess she thought she might slip
around Sam without his noticing II, while he
was so busy with Yang, and slide downstairs
and get away. That is the reason she did not
scream, I think.
But Sam noticed her, and gave q side
stroke with the knife which went right into
her breast. The blood spurted out, and then
she screeched and started for the stairs.

on getting in his work better by being 80
