lT IS AN EASY thing to preserve harmony
in the Democratic party, particularly in
New York. For instance, at the Cleveland
dinner last night, when Mr. Cleveland was
saying; "When we seek for the cause OF
the perpetuity of the Democratic party and
its survival through every crisis and emer-
gency and in the face Of all opposition, we
find it in the fact that its cornerstone is
laid in devotion to the rights of the people,
and sympathy with all things which tend to
thesadvancement Of their welfare and hap
piness," the walters were having high old
time down cellar with the surplus cham
pagne, and before the feast was cleared
away detachment Of police had to come
in and eject the crowd from the kitchen.

CIVIL SERVICE PENSIONERS.
a Roli Established, Not by Law, II,

n Hoil Estabiished, Not by Law, But
by Custom.
Few people know that there is pen.
sion roll in the civil service But there
is one established not by virtue of law,
but by custom. Several employees of
the public departments here, who have
grown old, gray and almost useless in
the service are kept on the rolls aud
draw salaries regularly without being
asked to attend to any duties. II Is sur
prising how old men grow In the public
service Life in the departments seems
to be conducive to longevity. had the
curiosity the other day to make an in
vcstigation into the number of old men
employed in the Treasury Department
alone. | found that there are borne on
the rolls at the present time eleven men,
each OF whom is over seventy years of
age. The oldest of these Is Hiram
Pitts of the Fifth Auditors office, who
was born in 1909. Next to him comes
George w. Fales of the First Auditor 8
office, who was born in 1904. VIM. @.
Dana, who works in the same Office,
was born In 1907. Isaac Lynch of the
First Comptroller's office was born in
1871 and John Caughey of the same Of
of the Fifth Auditors Office and Rich.
ard G. Dove and Thomas II, Ellis Of
the Secretary's office were born In 1914.
Arthur Thomas of the Second Comm.
troller's office was born In 1Sf8. I. p
Pinkerton of the First Comptroller's
office in 1917 and ID. b. Bennett of the
Secretary's office in 1919. There is a
man 80 years of aye now working In the
War Department who has been In the
service OF the Government since 1899.
His name is James Eyeleth, He began
working at n salary of $500 n wear.
which was seven years later Increased
to 81, 600. In 1870 he was given 81. $50
year, from 1851 TO 1858 al 500 and In
the year following that he was promoted
to a salary of 81 800 year. In 1864 he
was given 81, 800 and in 1885, as he had
lost through age much of his efficiency,
he was reduced to salary. of al 900 n
year which he Is now drawing. There
Is little in Department life to cater to
ambition. Very few men now occupy
ing positions of prominence in the pub.

Ex-prInter Benedict Compltmente

Grand Army Hall was crowded last
evening with the employees. male and
female, of the Government Printing
Office, to witness the presentation of a
magnificent gold watch, as small to.
ken Of their regard, to ex- Public Printer
Benedict. II was little after o'clock
when Mr.. Benedict entered the Hall,
escorted by Captains Brian and White,
foremen respectively of the printing
and binding departments of the office.
The entrance Of Mr.. Benedict was the
signal for loud and continued applause.
He took his seat on the stage surrounded
by all the foremen and assistant fore
men. After song by the Glee Club
Mr.. Oyster made brief address, in
which he stated that he had been Sc.
lected by the committee to act as pre-.
siding officer. He paid several neat
compliments to Mr.. Benedict and said
he, the ex-Public Printer, had left the
office in better condition than when
he took charge, and that organized la
Dor had staunch friend in the person
of the ex-Public Printer. The presen-
tation speech was delivered by Major
John g. Anderson, who for thirty one
years has been an active member of the
Typographical Union. Major Ander-
sons remarks were most happy and to
the point. He was frequently ap-
plauded, especially when he referred to
some of the acts performed by Mr.. Ben
edict for the benefit of the employees.
He closed by wishing Mr.. Benedict long
life. health and prosperity.
Mr.. lBenedict's response was most feel
ingly put, The sentiments Just ex-
pressed were most gratifying and he
would ever cherish them as his fondest
recollection. He said Public Printer
Palmer was most worthy to carry out
the work for which President Harrison
has appointed him. "The sentiments
you have expressed are far more crafty
ing than any present could receive"
said Mr.. Benedict His remarks were
loudly applauded. In closing, he said
whatever results had been attained under
his administration were due to the good
will and hearty cooperation of the en-
ployes. A song by the Glee Club and
reception followed and the crowd de.
parted for home.

Cattle Kate" Scores the Gamblers.
CHEYENNE, Wy, Feb. 21.-Mrs.
Kate Maxwell, the Belle Star of Wy
oming, closed up a gambling house at
Bessemer, Monday night, recovered
several thousand dollars which had
been lost by her cowboys, and then
saved the lives of the two gamblers.
Just as the Infatuated cowboys were
going to string them up. She is
known as Cattle Kate" and runs a
small ranch near Bessemer. Sunday
she was robbed of 81 800 by her own
men here. Suspicion was aroused
against the gamblers. Their
room at Bessemer was crowded
Monday night when Kate strobe
in, accompanied only by her
foreman and both armed to the
teeth. While Kate covered the
dealer with a six shooter, Mason, her
foreman, secured the box, and show
ed the crowd that the game was an
unfair or brace one. This enraged
the cowboys, and rarely and Bodell
were terribly beaten, and told to pre-
pare for lynching. The ropes were
in sight when Cattle Katen inter-
cepted for the two wretches, and an
nounced she would divide their
money, amounting to several thou
sand dollars which she had secured.
Bodell and rarely were chased out
of town. Their place was fired and
all hands went over to Mrs. Max
wells ranch, where a dance and gen.
eral good time followed.

MAKING UP THE States.

A number of gentlemen from south,
southwest and north Texas have paid
their respects to the LIGHT office this
week. Prominent republicans, all of
them, they came without noise of
trumpets and left as quietly as they
came. Not one of these men were
after office and while appointments
Were discussed it was only in
general way and with reference to
the fitness of applicants. The LIGHT
was much pleased to note that its in
dorsement Of DIR. Max Urwitz, of
Houston for consular position was
very favOrably commented upon.
Some particulars were added concern
ing the gentleman's former record
which only confirmed the opinion
previously entertained and justified
the wisdom of such selection. From
one gentleman we'll acquainted with
the doctor it was learned that he was
student for some years at the
Polytechnic of Berlin, engaged in
editorial work in that city. studied
medicine there, removed to America
at % years of age, settled in New
Orleans in 1876 where he was chief of
clinics to Prof Elliott in the Louisiana
University. This eminent professor
was brother to the late Episcopal
bishop of this diocese. The doctor
was also assistant surgeon in the
Touro hospital of New Orleans. He
has been resident of Texas eight
years and always an outspoken
republican. AS candidate for legisla-
ture in his district he carried the
counties of Victoria, De Witt and
Jackson, and in the late contest
carried the city precincts of Houston
for the republican party. The uni
versal expression of those with whom
the LIGHT was in conference this
week was that DR.. Urwitz would
honor any continental consulship to
which he might be appointed, and
that his republican record was unim-
peachable.
