forced, the anxious parents experience
the most difficulty. IL is amusing TO
note how many large boys there are In
Washington who still retain their knee
breeches-the result of another rule of
the senate which obliges pages TO wear
kpickerbockers- One of these boys, at
present page, will hardly be able to
bold his position another year, as,
despite his short trousers, he is nearly
six feet tall. Added TO that, he is not
stout, so that, on the whole, his general
appearance would be improved were he
TO let out the hens of his trousers. But
be has such an innocent expression of
countenance, and goes about with his
head held SO high in the air, as II commu-
nicating with the occupants of another
world. that the sergcant-at-arms never
thinks TO question his statement when
he says that he is below the maximum
of sixteen years.
A young married man who has since
been transferred 70 another branch OF
the service, but who was for many
years page, was, during that period,
the envy and admiration Of all that
knew him. When he first came 10 the
marble headquarters Of the government
he was quite young and retained lis
position as page until his sixteenth
year. At this time, owing to a change
OF administration, a new scrgeant-at-
arms was chosen. who, anxious TO in
gIatiate himself with the senator by
whose influence the page had been ap-
pointed, retained him in the service
From that day 10 this, that boy has not
grown an inch, and were 1t not for the
little black moustache which he was
compelled as q matter Of policy TO shave
off every morning during the days of
his pageship, but which now adorns his
upper lip, he would still be as youthful
looking as the little boys who run er-
rands for the senators.
This year the boys were given a scare
by some one waggishly inclined. At

A RADICAL MEASURE,
4 Deadly Blow Aimed ut the Pinkerton
System.

4 Deadly Blow Aimed ut the Pinkerton
WASHINGTON, July 20-The house In
committee of the whole yesterday
adopted an amendment to the sundry
civil bill making it unlawful for any
government official to contract with
q person or firm which employs
Pinkerton detectives or any other
association of men as armed guards,
and to prohibit employees of such
agencies to be employed in any gov
eminent service or by any officer Of
the District of Columbia.
When the bill was reported to the
house the Pinkerton amendment was
agreed to by q vote of l59 to IS.
If this amendment be finally agreed
to by the house and adopted by the
senate and the house it will materially
affect Carnegie through his steel plate
armor mill. Carnegie now holds the
contract for furnishing the armor
for nearly all of the battle
ships and monitors now build.
ing. His present contract calls for
5000 tons of armor, aggregating in
cost nearly $4,000, 600 One-tenth
Of this has not yet been deliv-
cred and work in the navy yards is
almost at q standstilL Work must
cease entirely unless there is delivery
soon, as nearly all the vessels are APP
preaching completion and are ready
for the armor.
