BLEEDING TaE TAXPAYER.

Among those who are faring best in
these hard times, when most mon can
not get even ons position to fill or one
place to work, are those who fill several
places, with a good fat salary for each
place. Among the fortunate ones re.
ferred to is James A. Foshsy. who has
access to two comfortable salaries. For
the past year he has been drawing $3.50
per month as deputy superintendent,
and in addition to that he has S. per
day as member OF the county board of
education.
As deputy city superintendent he is
expected to put in every day of the year
except holidays. As member OF the
county board OF education hs manages
to put in about 80 or 60 days year, at
IS per day and expenses, which. in sd-
dition to the regular $3.50 per month
drawn from the plethoric city treasury,
makes what Old Joey Bagstook would
call pretty comfortable salary, pretty
comfortable indeed.
In order to be explicit in this matter
we quote the following from, the books
of the county auditor:

Board OF Education:

We call that very pretty showing in
the way Of pin money for one whose time
is already we'll paid for.
Some men there are, even in the
most prosperous times, who would be
glad to experiment. with living on the
aforesaid pin money alone.
| Oh course there ara no scholars or
teachers out Of employment who could
do this work, else no one would bs al.
lowed to draw two salaries. .ss
We understand that several members
of the city board OF education have
suggested that the thrifty professor
might resign one position. or find sub
stituts; but rs the matter has gone on
for year, We propose to bring it to a
focus.
There are several other school mi alters
which need an airing at this season OF
the year.

CHRISTMAS FUND STARTED.
THE Evening Worlds" Third Year
of interest 10 Poor Children.

No. 1T was in this year that the
companion charity TO the Sick Baby
Fund-the Chrstmas-Tree Fund 80 was
started. 1t was designed TO give pres
ents for wear and play to the poor
children OF the city. Many of these
youngsters had never heard Of Santa
Claus and others believed him to be
parsonage who was created for rich
people only. "A Merry Christmas" was
hollow mockery to poor parents who
could i'll afford to pay for the neces-
sary food TO eat on the great day Of
rejoicing, and whose children knew not
what toys were. save for information
CLEANED by fattening their noses against
the window of toy store or watching

his gifts on the sidewalk. The Even

all happy met with n ready response,
and that year more than 5000 children
received some article of wearing ap-
parel, a pretty toy and some sweet
meats from the seven large trees erect
ed in various parts of the city. The
work has been kept up every year. and
like the Baby Fund, II grows larger all
the time.
No. 2.--The necessity for having women

FIRST BLOW AT THE TRUSTS.
One of Seven Mig Deeds Accom-
pIished During the Second Year.

No. 1.-The existence of and contem-
plated formation of Trusts of various
kinds were fully exploited In THE
Evening World" during this period
The Sugar Trust was the first octopus
to be tackled, and the people were
taught how to avoid and combat these
monopolies which sap the very vitals of
trade. The exposure had the effect of
checking the growth OF several such en-
terprises, and dealt a severe blow to
the coal and sugar barons, who were
growing rich on the savings of the
poor. This war on Trusts has never
ceased and will continue until the nee
essary laws are passed prohibiting their
existence. Meanwhile, the people have
been EDUCATED up to a proper realiza-
box offers a remedy to circumvent them.

time Mr.. Brennan began TO grow lax in

LONDON, July s. - The handsome

was entered in the regatta at Hunters
Quay, in the Firth Of Clyde. The yachts

they sailed from the starting point, the

Valkyrie being injured to such an exent
that she sank at once. There we're no

The collision occurred 0 after the
