HE GETS 81 A YEAR,
He Has sa2 10 Show for Twenty-Five
Years Work.

Grover Cleveland receives. the highest
salary paid to any government Official
in the United states-s5O. 900 year.
"old Steve" Fallon. who drives the
laundry wagon running between Belle
vue hospital and the different city pris-
ons. receives the smallest remuneration
Of any public servant In this country
50 year.
While the amount OF "old Steve's'
pay is as distinctive. in a way. as the
presidents. IT is just ss.99S less. 1t
can be said. however. that Steve does
more worrying and figuring over his
annual income than the chief executive
does over his. What is more aston
ishing is the fact that steve has a bank
account.
''Old Steve" was born in Ireland and
he came to this country when is years
old. His father and mother died a
short time before, and left him a small
piece Of land and a house. which he
managed to sell for 5000. He was in
America a short time when he engaged
in the junk business, and at the end Of
ten years he had found himself worth
$4,000. which to him seemed a large
fortune. AT that time he was about TO
be married. His business became bad
and the bank in which he had placed
his money failed. In a few months he
found himself without penny. The
loss Of his fortune induced his sweet
heart TO marry another man.
After a while ''old Steve" got rich
again. but again he lost his money.
He served through the war with brav-
cry. After the war he again went into
business, and again made a tidy for
tune. Soon again he was broke" and
in ill-health.
From that time Steve became a fix
ture at Bellevue hospital. After a
while he was given the position OF
driver Of the laundry wagon On the
LIST OF every January he is paid 50 by
Miss Alice Brennan. the superintend-
ent Of the training school He counts
the days until the first of the year
comes. Not an hour passes that Steve
does not figure out how long it will
take him to save $50. He has already
placed $50 in the Bowery savings bank.

River viii Be Defended.

Washington. November 26.--In his an
nual report, which was made public to-
day, Secretary Lamont renews his
previous recommendation that the in
fantry be re-organized on the general
Idea Of three light and mobile bataIlions

instead Of the cumbersome ten com
panies formation adopted a century
ago and abandoned by other nations
since the development OF modern mag
azlne rifles
A larger force OF artiIlerists. but no
increase Of the army. is asked for.
Investigation this year has shown a
serious deficiency in the arms and
equipment OF the state militia. When
states furnish armories and defray all
expenses incidental to keeping their
forces in training. Secretary Lamont
suggests that the United States should
provide them with implements which
they will need in active service-arms
and field equipment. as the supply on
hand is totally Inadequate for serious
and prolonged field operations The
secretary recommends that Springfield
rifles. calibre IS. be issued 10 state
troops; that states be allowed to return
to the war department obsolete arms
and equipment. 10 be sold. and the pro-
ceeds credited to the states. and that
states be allowed to purchase supplies
from the department at regular prices.
The report shows that on the first OF
July, 1898, in our modern defense. but
one high power gun was mounted. BY
the first OF July next we will have in
position seventy high-power breech-
loading guns and ninety-five breech-
loading mortars OF modern design.
The defenses now under consideration
are distributed among the ports OF
Portland. Maine; Portsmouth, n. H.;
Boston, Narragansett Bay, the eastern
entrance to Long Island sound: the

yesterday. you ought to see how par

free and easy ways as those tolerated
here are submitted to in that city. l
remember attending a matinee few
years ago with friend, also an Amer
lean. 1t was Saturday afternoon. and
the theatre, which was not one of the
highest-priced, was crowded. We got
good seats and all went well until 1
made some sotto voce remarks to my
companion. spoke in a low tone and
one which would have disturbed no
body in this country. But you ought
to have seen how those Frenchmen and
women looked at us. We were trans
fixed at once by dozen pairs of angry
eyes and the man who sat next to us
clinched matetrs by exclaiming aloud:
Monsieur voulez vous vous taire? . This
was only a shade potter than WIN you
shut up, sir?' and he meant it. We took
the hint and We shut up for the rest of
the matinee.
