VACATIONS WITH PAY.
1t Costs Uncle Sam About $4,000 to Give
the Local Carriers 15 Days OfE-The
Time Would Cover a Period of Six and
HoIf

1t Costs Uncle Sam About $4,000 to Give
the Local Carriers 15 Days Off-The
Time Would Cover a Period of Six and
Half Years.
Uncle Sam is kind to his employees. Every
summer the old man gives them rest, and
their salary, like the babbling brook, runs
on to make them happy. Few people, how
ever, have the remotest idea what it costs
the Government to give its laborers short
period of ease during the warm weather.
The carriers in the postoffice commenced to
take their vacation on the 18th of the month.
There are 142 men. The law says that any
carrier in active service on July is entitled
to 15 days off with pay. Postmaster Nc
Kean has blank sheet tackled to post in
the carriers room, and each one is requested
to name the time when he would like to
take his vacation.
Yesterday the postmaster made little
calculation which will present the growth
of the city and the postoffice business in
new light. When q carrier takes his Is days
his place is filled with substitute, who
draws a salary at the rate of $500 per year.
The average pay Of the regular carrier is
about $1,000 per annum. To give the l42 car
riers in the local postoffice the legal vaca-
tion will require 2, 130 days, or about six and
half working years. That is to say, at the
that length of time to work out the off
days, and it will cost the Government about
$4,000 This is what it takes to give the car
riers here alone their summer vacation.
There are many other employees in the post
office who are treated by the law in the same
manner and the item mentioned will give
some idea of what the Government must
put up to furnish the vacations. When all
the postoffices in the country are taken into
consideration, the sum runs into thousands
of dollars annually.
In the local office the older men in the
service are given the preference, but in
time all the boys will get their turn.

LAID DOWN THE LAW.
Superintendent Muth Defines the Duties of
Allegheny Policemen.

Allegheny police came in for another
roasting last night from Superintendent
Muth for the method in which they make
their reports. He said they were to write
out what happened while they were on duty
as well as to walk their beats. The matter
was brought up by two reports that were
submitted yesterday morning. One was
from Woods Run officer, who said that at
midnight he heard two women calling to
him from the Ohio river. They were drift
ing in boat. He got a skiff and rescued
them. That was all the officer knew about
the affair. Another officer reported that
during the night man had been cut at
Hotel Schneider. Nothing further than that
had been reported. AS result the Superin-
tendent was very angry, and when the men
went out last evening he first read the re-
ports and then said:
"What do you men suppose you draw your
salaries for? schoolboy with one days
experience on the force could turn in bet
ter report than that. This morning 1 sent
q man to Hotel Schreiber and found that a
man had simply cut his hand on broken
bottle, but for all the officer on the depart
ment knew it might have been murder.
AS for the other report there is no telling
what may have happened on that beat.
Hereafter full reports must be given of all
save drunk and disorderly cases. If partic-
ulars are not given you will be allowed TO
rest until you think you can give a proper
report"

ONE ON JOE HAWORTH.
The Box Office Man r efused Him Admis-
sion at Harris Theater.

sion at Harris Theater.
Joseph Haworth, the actor, was laughing
yesterday because he had been refused ad-
mission at Harris Theater. Some of the
people playing there this week in
vited him to witness a perform
ance. He presented his card to
the box-office man, but he claimed he didn't
know him. He said the manager was up
stairs, when Haworth asked if they could
see the boss of the place. A friend suggested
that they buy tickets, but Joseph was net
tied at his treatment and he declared that
under no circumstances would he put up a
cent The actors who extended the invita-
tion heard about it and they took great
pleasure in guying him.
81 used to be amused at Boucicault," Mr..
Haworth said at the Duquesne, yesterday.
He was great man to manage people on
the stage, and very particular: During re-
hearsal if an actor read his lines, the old
man would request him to put up the book,
and go it alone. 'Ah, but l will be ali
right to night the actors would frequently
remark, in turn. Then Boucicault, in a
quiet manner, would request the property
man to take the readers properties off the
stage, and get another man to take his
place. He would allow no nonsense, and he
was always obeyed."

REPUBLICANS ON TOP.
Mr.. Catch Says the Democrats Will Be De-
feated in West Virginia.

Richard Catch, a prominent Wheeling Re-
publican, was at the Central Hotel yester-
day. He says the last election in West
Virginia was a good lesson for the
Democrats, and that in the next the
Republicans will poll such majority that
it can't be counted out. He claims if ever
man was elected Governor it was Goff, and
it took the Democracy six weeks to fix up
the returns in the back counties. After all
their hard work they only had majority of
one vote in the Legislature.
Mr.. Catch says the sad fate of Mrs. Glessen,
the lady who was found drowned last Sun
day, made deep impression on the Wheel
ing people. When it was discovered that she
had wandered away from the private
asylum the whole town turned out to
search for her. Business was stopped,
and the deepest sympathy was expressed
for the afflicted husband. The unfortunate
woman had walked over a rough road for
two miles in her bare feet, and just how she
met her death will never be known.

INSPECTING POOR FARMS.
Chief Elliot Comes Back Tired and Hun
CRY After Days Tramp.

Chief Elliot, of the Department of Chari-
ties, spent yesterday walking over poor
farm sites. He returned last night very
tired and hungry. The farms inspected were
those offered by Snyder, Seibert & Co., in
Forward township, three miles above Eliza
beth, and the Mcclure farm, on the Nick. &
B. V. r. r. Of the three farms inspected
Chief Elliot was most favorably impressed
with the Mcclure farm. 1t contains over
100 acres, so of which are bottom land. The
bottom land, Chief Elliot said, is the finest
he ever looked at, while the hill land was
everything that could be desired.
The other farms the Chief considered to be
very good. He brought back with him as q
sample of their product a huge potato,
which would compare with any grown in
the State. Chief Elliot refused to talk much
on the farms inspected, saying his opinion
would be held until he made his report to
Councils. Today the Chief will visit the
farms located along the Allegheny river

He Had His Gun With Him.

Edward Neely, q night clerk at the Pitts
burg and Lake Erie Railroad station, had a
little experience with two men yesterday
morning who apparently were highwaymen.
Neely was walking along Sycamore street,
on Mt. Washington, when a man dressed as
a tramp accosted him and asked him the
time. Neely noticed another man hiding
behind a tree nearby. and instead OF reach
ing for his watch he reached for his revolver
and the two men turned and ran without
waiting to learn she sime.

any agreement signed by those who were
present This, together with statement
from Mr.. Moorhead, that the mill might

most led the men to turn up their white
sides. There are some repairs yet to be

FORGETFUL BUSINESS MEN.
Many Store Doors Found Open By the Po-

Many Store Doors Found Open By the Po-
lice in Allegheny.
During the past week the Allegheny police
have discovered number of open doors in
the business houses along Federal and Ohio
streets and dwelling houses on some of the
principal residence streets. 1t is accounted
for by the fact that during the hot evenings
the custom is to sit at the front doors, and in
going in for the night they fail to close and
lock the doors after them.
On Monday night Officer Clark found two
store doors open on Federal street. Reports
from various sections of the city show the
same carelessness to be general. Even in
the city hall a safe was found to be open
yesterday that had not been closed after
business of the previous day. No thefts are
reported.
