Proposition to Insure the Salaries of
Government Clerks.

There is movement on foot to start "A
novel business enterprise. with headquar-
tiers in Washington This is an age of
insurance. nearly every one feeling 1t to
De business necessity that some incor-
porated company should take the risk of
accidents OF acts of Providence which de-
stroy life or property. Nearly every
scheme of insurance conceivable has been
iraugurated, but this one brilliant con-
ception was reserved for a gentleman of
the Pacific coast, who is now negotiating
for the organization of a company and
proposes to insure government employees
continuance in office. 1t is we'll known
that every employe Of the government
whether in or out of the classified service,
Is constantly in dread of dismissal.
The Inauguration Of the civil service
reform has, in a measure relieved this
apprehension among certain classes of
clerks, but even these are not safe from
dismissal, as has been very vigorously
demonstrated during this Administered ton
The proposition is to take advantage of
this uncertainty of tenure of office to in
duce the clerks and other employees to take
out policies insuring them one years sal
airy II dismissed from the service The
Plan is to classify the policies just as the
service is classified, with monthly premiums
to be paid by the clerks rated according
to the grade In which they belong. A SkW
clerk will be insured for 500 on the pay
ment of a certain premium and the chief of
bureau getting $1,000 or 5000 paying a cor
respondingly higher rate for the amount of
enc year Of his salary.
1t Is the belief of the promoters of this
scheme that nearly every employee in the
government service will take out a policy
in the company and the many thousand
such employees would thus insure an i'm
mense business. 1t is proposed, of course,
n throw ahplIt the nOlicy Snck SafetrIla 10
as would prevent policy holder from will
purpose of securing his policy. 1t is I'M
ton with the organization is whether the
government would favor or disapprove.
OF course, If the government should oppose
such a scheme it would be difficult to make
1t successful. Otherwise it will probably
not be long before the government employees
have their salaries insured as they would
their lives.
One great difficulty in the way of the
scheme is that the government will he
alarmed at the idea of a large corpora ton
having an immense financial interest in
keeping the employees constantly in serv-
ice. The dismissal of clerk holding a
policy with this company would be resisted
with all the power and influence possessed
by the corporation and as reinstatement
would relieve the company from the neces-
sity Of paying a policy, their influence
would be exercis I'd always to get back into
service those dismissed. Such a scheme of
insurance would probably be much more
effective than the civil service law in keep
ing people in office.

the walls and away about thirty rods, one
of the children being killed.

'old Sleuth" is the author of over
one hundred and fifty stories, averag-
ing between fifty and seventy. five
thousand words each. In twenty
wears he has written more than one
hundred and seventy-five thousand
pages of closely-written manuscript
lie has contributed continuously to
one weekly paper, working regularly
every day in methodical manner. He
writes for two hours day and aver.
ares about three thousand five hum
dred words. The rest of the day he
devotes to publishing business which
he owns and carries on. His writing
is all done in his office ON Astor place,
New York. Mr. Halsey is not be-
lever in inspiration. His work has
become almost mechanical lie writes

his pen during his two hours daily

loss for words, and an examination
OF his manuscript discloses no
interlineations or corrections His
chapters are all of uniform length and
each ends with climax, enabling the
story TO be suspended at almost any
point. He is particularly solicitous
concerning the opinion of the public
on the moral quality of his stories.
Most good people look askance at any
thing that resembles dime novel. MIR
Halsey says this is all wrong.
