Pension Agency Clerks and Depart
ment Firemen Not Included
An order from President Cleveland was
promulgated yesterday afternoon placing
the employees of the several pension agencies
Of the United States under civil service
regulations. They number between 500 aud
Coo, ana $3.50 so is paid them in salaries.
At the Washington agency thirty-two
clerks are employed, to whom the sum of
S3O,lO0 is annually paid.
The order was signed by President Cleve-
land on July 10, and takes effect from that
date, but owing TO clerical error it had
to be returned to Gray Gables for ratfica-
ton. The correct copy was received by
the Commission yesterday. The order also
applies To fircmen in the Executive Depart
mcnts.
The extension covers all the employees
800 in number, in the pension agencies
OF the country. These were classified on
July by the Secretary OF the Interior and
their salaries equalized.
The firemen III the Executive Departments
number about 100. They have not been
classified and their salaries differ slightly
in the different Departments. The Com
mission has asked the Secretaries to fur
nish il with list of those employed on July
10. The work Of providing lists of eligibles
for both the classes to whom the reform
has been extended Will begin shortly.

The publication of Grand Master Work
man Sovereigns boycott against the ma
tional bank notes-as published exclusively
in The Times yesterday morning-natur-
ally attracted a great deal of attention and
was very generally discussed as to its ef-
feet, if any, upon the condition of the Treas
ury and the circulation of money and the
payment Of obligations.
Secretary Carlisle said that the boycott
would not affect the Treasury Department
or lis condition. National bank notes, it
was stated, as between individuals were
not legal tender and could be refused if
offered by one individual 10 another and
declined without in the least impairing the
validity OF the debt
The same is true of gold and silver GER
tificatas, neither of which is legal ten
der, bat simply the representative of gold
or silver dollar which is a legal tender be
tween individuals and between the govern
ment and individuals
GOVERNMENT AMPLY SECURED.
In case a national bank note should be
declined by a debtor, all the creditor
would have to do to make it ayaiIa ble

Treasury for redemption. II would be
Immediately redeemed by the payment to
the holder of a United States legal ten
der note and the bank OF issue notified
10 either recoup the government By re-
turning to 1t legal tender note or retire
the national bank note.
In case it should elect to retire the
note the government would be secured by
United States bonds previously deposited
by the bank The issue 10 the national
bank was only 80 per cent OF the face
value of the bonds. These United States
bonds range in the markets at from l04
10 125, and there is no danger of the
government being loser by the transac-
ton OF redemption.
According to the last official statement
issued July !, 1895, the national hank
note circulation outstanding aggregated
S2l1. 500. .69S, Of which SlS6 ,062 ,098
was secured by United States bonds de-
posted in the Treasury.

The suicide OF Ella Miller was one OF
those Iamentable affairs that awakens gen.
eral sympathy. The poor girl apparently
had no real cause for throwing away her
life, and the deed was evidently done in a
fit OF dependency. The moral of the
tragedy, however, lies in the Importance of
giving kindly advice and substantial as
sistance TO persons In such desperate cir
cumstances, and had Miss Miller friend
in whom she could have confided her
troubles. doubtless she would now be a
living example OF the potency of kindly
words
If only the world could understand the
efficacy OF smile and a kindly word how
much happier it would be. Mans inhuman-
ity is the worst enemy of society, and half
the recklcssness OF sin would be banished
if greater degree of brotherly love pre-
vailed. 1t is within the power OF the most
Iowly to add a ray of sunshine to life's
dark moments, and instead of treating
those in trouble with harsh words or re-.
buffing them with scornful neglect, try
TO encourage them with cheerful advice,
