Clerk Harper Of the pg,tcc court. has
recently assumed the guisc ef a ninistering
angel in spectacles and o specialist in re-
covering truant hoys and turning them from
the error of their ways back to the bosom
Of their waiting families.
His latest success, To speak i'll theatrical
phrase, was yesterday, when he succeeded
in digging up the parents Of IL small anna
teur vagrant. whose home is in Lynn.

On October ! three tramps We're breaebt
in from the Eckington woods. Two nf
them were old hoboes, and were sent down
without question. -'
But the third, who gave his name as
Charles Williams, wass,yilently r"fthrti
and well-educntedboy ~ Haboutelcvcn years.
He teld out at first that his name was
Williams and that be lived in New York.
But inquiry II the chief of police there
showed that there was no Williams family

The youngster WIS therefore sent down
for safekeeping and the search continued
Mr. Harper had several talks with him.
and finally won his confidence. The boy
finally admitted that his rame was En-
mons and that his people lived in Lynn.
Mr.. Harper once more took up The search
and found that the boys father wa : Chanry

The commissioner Of railroads is in the
pension building.
Secretary Francis has recommended
to congress that a new building be
erected not far from the present de-
Dartment building to accommodate
some of the stray bureaus, but this
will not be done for some years prob
ably. 1t is the present intention to
house these bureaus in the new build
ing for the Washington postoffice.
which is nearly finished.
One prime requisite of the secretary
of the interior is that he shall be a good
lawyer. Secretary Francis is an ex-
ception to the rule Of a long line Of
lawyer secretaries and if he had been
put in the cabinet at the beginning Of
the Cleveland administration he would
not have gone into the interior depart
ment. The need of legal training in
this place arises from the fact that the
secretary has to interpret the land
laws, the pension laws and the patent
laws, and this requires very nice dis
elimination.
When any one wants to pay high
tribute to former secretary of the in
terror, he praises the legal decisions
which he left on the files of the de-
partment. Secretary (now Senator)
Teller's decisions hold high rank.
THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
The postmaster general has varied

postoffice is in the postoffice depart
ment building.
1t is possible that some of these bu-
reauS will be detached from the treas
ury department before the end Of the
next administration. Attempts to trans
fer the revenue marine to the navy de-
partment have been frequent.
SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
The secretary of the interi0r has a
great variety of duties too He has to
look after the granting of patents. and
l mention this first because the interior
department is the outgrowth of the
patent office. which was originally
part of the state department, after
ward a separate bureau and finally
the nucleus of the great department.
known as the department of the in
terror. He has to look after the pen
sion business of the government. has
control of the public lands, including
the granting of patents under mineral
laws and other special statutes; man
ages the governments affairs with the
Indians; looks after the governments
relations with the railroads. conducts
the census, which will begin in 1900
under the Mckinley administration;
controls the geological survey, which
is engaged at present in the stupen-
deus task of mapping the United
States; has charge of the bureau of

MEMBERS.
NOT AN EASY PLACE TO FILL.

ERAL HUNDRED AMBITIOUS
STATESMEN
WIDE RANGE OF DUTIES.
AT Least Two Cabinet People Should
Be Lawyers-Lay of the Land
All Around.

CANTON, O., Dec. 19.-One of the Sc
rious considerations which must infiu-
ence the preSident-elect in choosing
the members of his cabinet is the
-adaptability of the men who are ambi-
tious for cabinet place to the duties of
the particular place to which they as
pire. A man may be a good Repub-
lican and one to whom the party is
much indebted; he may be a man of
intelligence and standing in the bust
ness or professional community, and
yet he may not be equipped for the
particular place in the cabinet which
he wants to fill There have been
many misfits in the cabinet and Maj
Mckinley will try to avoid having any
among his official advisers. That is
one of his reasons for summoning so
many of the leaders of his party in
conference here
THE SECRETARY OF THE TREAS
URY.
The most versatile of all the cabi-
net members must be the secretary of
the treasury. Some cabinet members
have a single line of duty to follow.
The secretary of the treasury has so
many diverse duties to perform that
it is a wonder his head does not swim
when he thinks of them. First and
foremost, of course, he must look after
the revenue and the expenditures of
the government. He makes recommen-
datiOns to congress for the tariff and
internal revenue laws to raise money
for the support of the government, and
he has charge of the machinery for the
collection of these taxes. Then he has
to look after the expenditures of the
government, not alone in his own de-
partment but in every one of the eight
departments and the separate bureaus
as well. The estimates for money
needed by the departments and bu
reaus come through him, and he ad-
justs them as far as possible to the
needs of each department as he un-
derstands them and in accordance with
the government revenue, so that, If
it is possible to prevent it, there will
not be a deficit at the end of the fiscal
year.
He has charge. too, of the currency,
OF the making of money both metal
and paper of the circulation and re-
demptiOn Of that money, of the sale
and redemption Of bonds and of the
making of stamps for both the post
Office and the internal revenue service
In supervising the expenditures of
the government he approves all vouch-
efs for money which come from any cf
.4he departments and is responsible for
the expenditure of money in accord
ance with the constitution and the laws
1f congress.
Va controls also the collection Of
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-12-20

ington. He publishes the war records
of the rebellion, furnishes information
to the pension Office about the service
of applicants for pensions. superintends
the building Of big guns and the con-
struction Of coast defenses, prevents
the obstruction Of navigable waters,
establishes harbor lines and approves
the plans for bridges authorized by
congress. He also has control (subject,
Of course, to the presidents Judgment

who look after the different branches
of the department work, are an as

an inspector general, a quartermaster

The Saint Paul globe., 1896-12-20

sistence, a surgeon general, a paymas-
ter general a chief of engineers. a
chief of ordnance, a judge advocate
general and chief signal officer
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.
The secretary Of the navy covers q
wider field than the secretary of war.
He has control of the movements of
the vessels Of the United States navy,
which, at the present day, is a serious
responsibility. He supervises the
building of new ships, the making of
great guns and armament for the
ships, the purchase of supplies, the
repairs Of vessels and the training Of
cadets who are to be officers of the
navy He lets contracts involving the
expenditure of many millions of dollars
every year He tests the armor for
the ships of the navy which is deliver
ed to the government by contractors.
He has the assignment of the officers
Of the navy to their ships or stations
He 10 In constant communication with

largest telescope in the United States.
and very able corps OF astronomers.
who have contributed much to the an
nails of Science. The secretary of the
navy not only makes contracts for the
building of great ships Of war but he
actually constructs them at the navy
yards (the luckless Texas was one OF
these efforts), and where it was neces-
sary not SO many years ago to pur-
chase great guns abroad, the navy de-
partment now has one of the finest
gun factories in the world, directly un-
der the eye of the secretary of the navy
at Washington. In spite of the tech
nical character Of the work of the navy
department 1t has not been customary
to appoint q naval man to the head Of
the department. Mr. Herbert, the
present incumbent, came nearer being
a naval man than any Of his predeces-
sors. His long experience at the head
of the naval committee of the house
made him thoroughly familiar with the
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-12-20

education distributes the appropria-
tions for agricultural and mechanical
colleges in the states and territories;
supervises the government of all the
territories; has control of the Yellow
stone and other national parks, in
Guiding the Hot Springs of Arkansas,
and has the custody of all the federal
hospitals, etc., in the District of Co
lumbia
The interior department, too, covers
good deal Of territory. The geologi-
cal survey occupies quarters near the
treasury department on F street. The
pension bureau has a big brick build
ing all to itself. The census office has
separate quarters whenever the new
census is being taken. The Indian
bureau is located in an Office on F
