Life Annuity of III OOo

Life Annuity of ~, 900,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l suppose little attention is paid to
the opinions of clerks in the departments
as TO the provisions of the Tawney retire
ment ard annuity bill by the Solons who
nave 1t under consideration, but as quite a
number have given their views of the case.
L will, by your kind permission, do the
same.
Approval or disapproval of the bill is
countless based largely upon self-interest
1t Is all in the point of view
L oppose it because it seriously affects NV
interests. and my case is by no means pc
culiar. l entered the service January /.
1880 On July I, 1900, at which date the re-
tirement of employees in the government
service is to begin, I will have been in the
service twenty years and six months. NV
health is good and bids fair to continue so.
But let us see what l have to look for
ward TO. Suppose that remain in service
ten years from July l, 1896, the date on
which assessments are to begin | will
have contributed to the annuity fund from
my salary of si,4O0 S420, with no provision
Tor Its return to me in any form, unless I
shall be discharged for disability or shall
Gle, in which latter case the principal and
interest will be paid to the administra tor
OF my estate. Section ) of the bill holds
money, remote, It is true, but better than
rome. l might be deprived of my Office by
legislative enactment, by failure of Con-
gress to appropriate funds with which to
pay me, or by reduction of clerical force
If my retirement from the service is due to
hone of these causes, and 1 resign, or am
dismissed through political animosty, or
because of inability longer to perform the
duties of my position to the satisfaction of
the chief of the bureau at any time after
five years, l will be thrown out without a
share in the annuity fund that my con-
tributions have helped to create and $42
per year filched from me at a period of
life when am least able to bear it.
With the elimination of the clause in the
bill limiting the time to five years during
which assessments may be returned to the
employe, with interest at four per cent
the bill appears to be as fair and equitable
as pension bills usually are. From nv
point OF view the bill bears heavily upon
old men who entered the service late in
life, and who cannot hope to remain in
office long enough to become pensioners
and to arbitrarily deprive them of any
portion of their meager salaries for the
benefit of people who have been sucking
the government teat from early manhood
appears unjust and absurd. Most of these
old men were soldiers in the volunteer ser
vice, whose devotion to their country in her
hour of need entities them to more con-
sideration than is evinced by the Trainer of
this bill. G. G. X

To the Editor of Tie Evening Star:
Judge kimball yesterday sent a young
boy to the work house to consort with
thieves and tramps for the heinous offense
OF riding his wheel after Il o'clock at night
without lighted lamp. One of the more
or less questionable methods pursued in
this Police Court has been the habit of
cutting rates; that is, of taking what mon
ey a prisoner had and releasing him. In
this way many persons charged with dis
orderly conduct and such offenses have. af-
ter being fined five dollars, secured their
release ON the payment of 1888 or s.. 0l
In the case of the young man Yesterday
an offer of $1.O5 was refused with scorn
by the court. The evidence in the case
showed that the boy was arrested after
Il o'clock while riding, with two com
panlons properly provided with lamps his
explanation being that his own lamp had
exploded caller in the evening and be-
ing with two riders having lamps he felt
that lie was within the law. Fair play is
a jewel, ard while all good citizens favor
an enforcement of any regulations cal
culated to protect life and limb, they are
liable to take exception to sending Young
boy to conSort with criminals for an of
tense committed every night by hundreds
OF people much more competent to know
the law. The bicycle renting establish
ments have almost invariably construed
the regulations SO as to allow one lamp to
uo uuty LOT TWO wheels. This construction
especially has been accepted by ladies, and
every night hundreds of fair bicyclists are
Whirling through the streets dependine en-
tirely upon the light from their eyes and
safe from the fact that their male escort
Is provided with an apparatus burning Oil
No one is so lost to gallantry as to desire
to see one of these fair riders standing in
the police dock and dickeriug with the
judge as to the amount of her fine: but if
the lack of politeness on the part of some
policemen should bring about such q dire
catastrophe the lovely defendant should
bear in mind that unless she bids higher
than $1.05 the horrors of the work house
await her. N

PEACE IN ST. MARKS.
Result of Bishop Satterlee's Efforts to
Settle the Differences.

The controversy that has made bad feel
ing among the parishioners of St Marks
p. E. Church for nearly two years has been
brought to an end. This result has been
accomplished largely through the efforts of
Bishop Satterlee, and it is hoped that the
peace which has been declared in the parish
Will be lasting one. Yesterday the appeal
pending before the Court of Appeals in the
case, brought by the so-called Torbert vestry
against the Bennett vestry, was dismissed
on the motion of the appellants. The case
was decided some months ago by Chief JUS
tice Bingham in favor of the Torbert vestry,
Whereupon the Torbert vestry took posses
sion of the church property and Offices Sub
sequently an appeal was noted by the Ben
nett vestry, and 1t was that appeal which
was yesterday dismissed by the appellants.
This action was taken by the Bennett vestry
out of Difference to the views and expressed
wishes of Bishop Satterlee, who had held
several conferences with the parties to the
contention, and used his best efforts to recon-
cile them. AT these conferences the bishop
tried to secure a settlement by having the
parties agree to share the costs of the suit
and withdraw the appeal. The Torbert
Vestry proposed to pay q per cent of the
costs in case the appeal was withdrawn.
Finally the Bennett vestrymen announced
their Willingness to withdraw the appeal,
out OF difference to the earnest wish of the
bishop and not because they believed they
had no case. They declined to accept any
proposition that looked as though they with
drew the appeal in consideration of an
agreement by the other side to pay a part
OF the costs. The appellants, therefore, as
sumed the whole cost of the suit, but
Bishop Satterlee has undertaken to settle
the affairs of the parish. If possible, and to
relieve the appellants Of the burden thus
assumed. He preached the Ascension day
sermon at st. Marks last evening, and dwelt
earnestly upon the necessity for peace and
christian unity. 1t was understood that the
collection taken was to be devoted to pay
ing the cost Of the suit. In the aims basin
was found one contribution of $500, which,
1t Is said, came from the bishops pocket
The ladies of the church are arranging for
an entertainment. the proceeds of which
are to be devoted to the same object. Mem
bers Of the parish hope that soon all differ
ences will be forgotten.
