80 ollnplnr Esperlenes.

There are many women in Washington
who. either on theirown account or through
their husbands 8 orders, are patrons OF cleQ-
ming bureaus, and some Of them have va
rfed experiences. The same clipping re-
ceived day after day or week after week Tor
q year grows very monotonous-even when
it is the truth and entertaining. When 1t
happens to be a false statement, woman
can be excused for becoming wrathful,
Women who have had experience in this
latter direction will appreciate the sensa,
tions of Miss Clara Barton when she found
a story to the effect that when she went into
the patent Office some years ago she was
penniless, and the clipping insinuated, If II
didn't say in so many words, that she was
on the verge Of starvation when she took
the place.
This was enough to make Miss Barton
who is very tender Of the memory Of heI
father, qnite indignant. But Miss Barton
cup was not by any means as full as it be
came later. The fib seemed to catch the
exchange editors fancy, and it was evi

a week the bureau began to fire into hei
at 5 cents each clippings from papers II
every state and most Of the territories II
the Union. Before long Miss Barton hae
paid three times as much fer that fib as th'
editor who bought it originally from tn
author At this stage Miss Barton thought

Th. rss OF separators.

The use of separators about power plant
is said by mechanical journal to be get
ting more and more general and for many
purposes. Among these, as enumerated, Is
the placing Of them between boiler and en-
gine to remove the entrained water from
the steam and thus increase the power and
efficiency of the plant-to be a safeguard
against foaming or the sudden lifting OF
water from the boiler, thus avoiding the
common cause Of the breakage OF engines;
also, between the high and low pressure
cylinders Of compound engines, to extract
the water due to cylinder condensation and
work done in the first cylinder, this often
amounting to from II tO42 per cent OF the
total amount Of steam entering the cylin-
der; again, between the engine and con-
depser, to relieve the air pump and IN
crease the efficiency Of the condenser and
remove the oil, so that the tubes remain
clean. and the boilers can be fed with hot
water free from grease from the hot well;
and between the engine and heating sys-
tenn, on evaporating apparatus, on long
lines of pipe, on superheaters, as steam can
be easily superheated when dry, but when
It contains moisture this has to be all
turned into steam before single degree OF
superheat can be eobtained.-New York sun.

Classification Bxtenlsd by an Order Of the President
ovsr 7, 900 Positions Affected,
The President has extended by an
amendment to postal rules the elassifi-
cation of the postal service to include
all free-delivery Offices, of which there
are understood to be COL. Fifty-three
Of these Offices are at present classified.
Before this extension of the civil-ser-
vice rules applied only to those post-of-
fees which had as many as fifty EN-
ployes. Now the service extends to ali
postoffices in which carriers are en-
ployed.
Considerable time will necessarily
elapse before the rules will be in actual
operation at all of the free delivery
Offices. A definite statement cannot
be made from the data in the posses
sion Of the commission as to the mum
b II of positions which will be broaght
within the classified service by the ev-
tension, but it is more than 1000.
The president has afro approved al
amendment to the classification Of the
Agricultural Department, bringing
within the classification Of that depart
ment the employees Of the weather bu
reau employed elsewhere than al
Washington. The number of posi-
tons affected by this change Of classi
fication is between one and two hun
dred. 1t includes all the weather OBJ

TRAVEL TO THE D INAUGURATION.
The Rate not yet Decided ipoa-No Freight for Two
Days at Washington.

The Rate not yet Decided tpoa-N No Freight for Two
Days at Washington,
No definite actiqh has been taken by
the passenger agents of the Eastern
railroads upon thd question of fares to
the auguration odCleveland at Wash
ington on March 4th, but it is alto
cation probable that a rate of two
cents 70 miles will be agreed on for
short line distances in territory of the
Trunk Line Association. The Presi-
dent has taken the matter up and will
settleit. Strong influences are at work
to make the fare As ut former Inaugu-
raiions. Some lines think that the
rates were low, as it did not pay
them far useof- equipment and other
charges.
Passenger agents contend that big
train loads at lower rates, based upon
one fare for the round trip, produces
handsome revenue. For the inaugur.
alton it will not be necessary to stor
receiving freight more than two days
at Washington, and it will not be ne
cessary disappearing freight at 9th
er points for other parts Of roads. II
might be delayed little, but need
not he stopped.

SOUTHERN SENATORS.
A Difference Financially speaking, between the
Members of Congress.

A Difference Financially speaking, between the
Members Of Congress.
There is a wonderful difference be-
tween the Northern and Southern
members of congress in the way Of
money getting. 1t is patent to all
observers. 1t is true of the House,
but particularly noticeable in the SEN
ate. In that body men from the
North who can write their checks for
six figures are the rule, not the excep-
ton. There is hardly Senator from
the South who has more than bare
competence. This is true because
there has been less opportunity to
amass wealth in the South, and the
Senators from that section are past
the middle milestone OF life. With
out exception they belong to the era
when it was the custom to own money
in right of Inheritance, not to make
it. They have the brain, are highly
cultivated, are eloquent and sound
logicans, but they are devoid of the
dollar-getting faculty. = Washington

DETECTIVE BALDWIN

Naz Whom Virginia Criminals and DosPsrsdoss
Fear 70 Face has Locascd at Roanoke.
Throughout the entire Union, says
the Roanoke Record, ''but especially
on the border of Virginia, West vir-
ginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, the
name of 'Bilr Baldwin; the famous
detective. is as familiar as household
words, and no man is more dreaded
by the lawiess element VINO infeSt the
mountain wilds OF those regions"
A little over six years ago, without
any preliminary training, Baldwin
answered an advertisement for de
tective, and soon gave evidence that
he had discovered his vocation. He
speedily achieved reputation which
made him and his services in great de-
mand. Gentlemanly in manners, quiet
in demeanor, slenderly built, he is the
last man who would be taken for the
famous detective who has faced the
pistols and Winchesters of the most
desperate mountaineers and killed and
captured some of the most notorious
desperadoes of the age.
But his slender frame is knit with
sinews of steel, his quiet demeanor COW
ers a courage which neve quails, his
GOODNESS is never rufaed, and in addi-
ton his reputation as a dead shot is
such, that few Of the boldest criminals
care to face dim.
Mr.. Baldwin has for some time been
the principal detective of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad Company, and
has recently transferred his headquar-
tiers to Roanoke, and fitted up an
office there,
The principal ornaments of his rooms
are hand cuffs, shackles, Winchesters,
portraits of noted criminals, &c. In a
! little cabinet are stored souvenirs.
There many pictures of noted Virginia
criminal, also the confession of Ellison
Mounts, who murdered Miss Alfara
Mccoy, in Pike county, KY, January
l, 1888, and was hung in 1890; shell
found in McCoy's house, supposed to
have belonged to one of the Hatfeld's;
a murderous looking knife, the prop
erty of John jackson, murderer,
hung in 1888; a pistol taken from
Charles Saunders, who, in February
1889, was shot three times and eight
times knocked down with club be-
fore he would surrender; piece of
bone, being a memento of the Bloody
Flat Top Fight Of April ., 1889, taken
from the neck of James VOLTAGE who
was killed by Bill Moran, noted des-
perado, who was also killed a piece
of shell taken from the arm of Bald
win after that fight, and the pistol
with which Peg Mcclure, one Of the
two women engaged in it, fired five
shots at Baldwin at distance of only
nine feet.
There is piece of the rope with
which Robert Duff, an innocent mau.
was hung by mob in Roane county,
w. Va, October Is, 1889, and other
souvenirs of crime and criminals toe
numerous to mention.
