Persons who have occasion 10 use the
telephone can readily understand
why a man with good ears should be
stationed at the instrument, especial
ly when he draws a salary of 81 800
a year for the work. 1t is explained
that il was not this mans business TO
attend to the telephone, but as the
telephone was at the desk Of another
sdjudicating officer, occasionally be
put his left ear to the the telephone.
Still, it is not quite clear why a man
who cat command a salary of $3.50
a month should receive any pension
at all. This case recalls the fact that

REFORM AMONG ALDERMEN.

anii.Ring candidate for Mayor In Brooklyn is
the dcsirabilty Of choosing Bonrd OF Alder
men that will prove his efficient ally In IN"
work OF municipal reform. The people OF
Rrooklyn do not need to BE- reminded Of the
character Of the majority Of their Aldermen
for the last two years. Several OF them were
indicted for their part In the Columbian cec-
bration frauds and the Board was subjected
TO severe censurc on account OF its question:
