Women In The Treasury.

Women In The Treasury.
About one-sixth ofthe six thousand
clerks employed IN the Government
offices 1T WadslliHgtotj are women.
There are grepter number employed
in tho Treasury than in any other de.
partment.
In 1861, q Miss Douglas was u,
pointed, through Secretary Chase's
influence to position in the Treasu
ry. She was put to cutting money
and handled the scissors 80 skillfully
thatregular appointments of women
were made in 1862 while generar
Spinner was Treasurer. Miss Kellar,
who was appointed ut that time still
holds her position.
About 1864 q machine was inyented
for cutting the money, and then the
women were put to counting money.
There were one hundred and eighty
employed in this way until the frac-
t!onalcurrency was discontinued, and
they were gradually discharged, until
now there are but forty in this de-
partment. They receive salaries
ranging from 81 200 to 81 800.
Mrs. Rosenburg who came into this
Department in 1868 still retains her
position, which is one of the best, and
she is an expert ut the work of put
ting into shape mutilatcd money.
Mrs. H. L. Wright and Miss Hoey
are the most efficient experts in coun-
terfeit money.
