Omcial Notes.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l7-Secretary Fos-
ter assumed charge of the treasury depart
ment yesterday, and found his time fully
occupied by matters that had accumulated
in his absence. Discussing the general
financial outlook with press representa-
tive he said: "There seems to be deter
mination on tie part of certain parties to
insist upon the bankruptcy of the treas.
ury. 1t has been recently charged that at
meeting of the cabinet an agreement
was reached to hinder, delay, and post
pone the payment of money for all public
purposes where such policy was possible;
that the secretary of the treasury had
adopted plan of pinching economy in
the matter of reducing the amount of cash
placed to the credit of disbursing officers;
in short, that the secretary had found it
necessary to resort to unusual expedients
in all directions to pay the non-extended
AZ per cents"
No Claims of Any Sort Delayed.
Commenting on these charges Secretary
Foster said that no such cabinet meeting
as that alluded to had been held, aud no
instructions had been given to delay the
payment of appropriations for any pur-
pose. No claim of any sort had been de-
layed for this reason; nor, indeed was
there occasion to do so. 1t is true, the
secretary added, that he had felt that it
would be good policy to restrict disburs-
ing officers to their actual needs, and he
had directed close study of each case
with this end in view. Four months
since he found more than $40, 600 600 in the
hands of disbursing officers, when proba-
bly, 81, 5000, 900 to S25, 900, 600 would have
been an ample supply. Less than S33, 900, =
900 was now held by them, and he hoped
in due time to reduce this sum to a
minimum.
Will About Balance Accounts,
Secretary Foster insisted that the treas
ury had all the money required to main
! tain position of perfect ease without
adopting police of delay, or resorting to
any action that is not based on perfectly
sound principles; but he admitted that

appropriations will about consume the
revenues. The money paid into the treas
ury, the secretary declared, will flow ont
daily, as it ought to, thus leaving all the
money not actually needed in the treasury
in the hands of thu people, where it be-

HEROlSM OF AN ENGINEER.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1891-06-12

| A young clam farmer from Canarsie,
accompanied by his $50 pound wife,
created much amusement on bridge
train coming to Brooklyn Sunday little
before midnight. The cars were as well
filled as is usual at that hour. The
rustics drew attention to themselves by
the loud tones of their conversation.
"Now, baby" the man was saying, ''you
know l amt bit stingy and wouldn't
care for the money at all, but I don't
want any catfish of a toll grabber to do
the dead swindle on me-Sunday nights
anyway"
"Oh, never mind, Reuben" said
baby" consolingly.
"Well, now, baby, you can see for
yourself. There's eighty-four cents out
of dollar. Do you see that? That
shark has kept back ten cents on me. 1t
amt the money 1 care for, baby. Here,
do you want it,"
"No; | don't want it. | wish you
would keep quiet"
"Well, if you don't want it, here goes"
scattering the change on the floor
"Baby" maintained stohd silence,
gazing ruefully at the coin on the floor.
Finally Reuben realized that he had
been guilty Of criminal waste, and he
said: "Well, if you don't want it, I'll
take it, and he began clumsily to pick
the money out of the spaces in the mat
ting. At this point general laugh
arose from the other passengers. When
the Brooklyn station was reached the
farmer was still mourning his missing
dime, and when left his ponderous
wife was struggling to prevent him from
taking the next train to New York to
get hunk with 'that pirate" at the toll
box.-Brooklyn Eagle.
