Perry Heath Says They Arc Almost - Sat-
isfactOry Is Men.
Washington. Nov. 24.-Fira Assistant
Postmaster General Heath has trans
mitted to the postal administration Of
the German government through Sec
old Assistant Shallenberger a compre-
hensive report on the employment Of
women In the government service. He
states that 1t is impossible to give the
exact number Of women Employed In the
postal service. There are, however. a.
go women postmasters and perhaps g.
600 women to whom the oath of office
has been administered toqualify them to
assist in conducting the business Of the
postoffices. There are 167 women en-
ployed in the postoffice department
proper.
Women are not debarred by rule or
regulation from entering any branch of
the service. In fact there are posboffices
in the United States at which there
are none but women employed. The
same salary is paid them as to nen for
the same character of work. The re-
port says. 1t has been a mooted question
for many years whether women can
render as good general service as men,
because the latter may be transferable
at all times to any position. whereas
women may be confronted with duties
In sense indicate or which require
too much manual labor. The confusion
Of the department is that altogether
the services Of women have proven al
most II not equally satisfactory with
those Of men.

PRESIDENT MOULTON, OF A MINNIE
APOLIS SAVINGS BANK, SPEAKS
TOO BROADLY.
SAYS THE RATE OF INTEREST
WILL BE CUT BY ALL THE saw
INGS RANKS IN THE
e STATE.
ST. PAUL BANKS WILL CONTINUE
To Pay the Rate They Have Been
Doing-Chapce for Minneapolis
Depositors.

President E. H. Moulton, Of the
Farmers and Mechanics Savings bank,
at Minneapolis, in an interview in
Minneapolis paper last evening, stated
that after Jan. every savings bank
in the state will reduce the rate to
8 per cent" Mr.. Moulton evidently al
luded to the rate Of interest which
would be paid by Minneapolis savings
banks and possibly institutions of like
character in some other parts of the
state, but not st. Paul. Officials Of st.
Paul savings banks do not concur in
the statement Of President Moulton.
President F. Willius, Of the State
Savings bank, seen by a reporter for
the G o e last night, said the insti-
tuition Of which he was president had
not decided as to the rate of interest
to be paid. The law under which the
bank was operated provided that the
trustees should every six months de-
clare the rate Of interest to be paid.
AT the last meeting of the trustees,
when a dividend of per cent was de-
clared, it was suggested that it would
soon come to a question Of 8 or 31a per
cent. Further than this the matter had
not been discussed. There was a dis
position in all savings banks, Mr..
Willius said, to reduce the rate Of in
terest, but the institution which he was
connected with would not fix the rate
until July next. The interest was paid
from the profits, and, Of course, this
could not be determined until after
July, 1898.
Thomas A: Prendergast, president Of
the Savings Bank Of ST. Paul, said the
statement made by Mr.. Moulton as to
the decrease Of profits in investments
was correct, but that all the savings
banks in the state were to reduce the
rate Of interest to per cent was not
correct. The charter his bank was
working under provided that 4 per cent
interest be paid. He had been inform
ed by the officers of the Farmers and
Mechanics bank, of Minneapolis, that
after Jan. 1 only per cent interest
would be paid by that institution. This
rate would be all any Of the savings
banks ought to pay. The rate at the
bank he represents, however, would be
4 per cent until July 1, as at least six
months notice would have to be given
depositors if any change was made in
the rate.

BLAME zoLLMAN FOR 1T.
Police Say He RafIroaded a Case in
Police Court.

Considerable feeling has been stirred
UP between the police department and
the county attorneys Office on account
Of the disposition of the charge Of
burglary against J. E. Scott and Z. F.
Mcdonald, the young men accused Of
burglariZing the grocery store Of Dono-
hue & Co., Selby avenue and Victoria
streets, two weeks ago. Scott was per-
mitted to plead guilty to the charge Of
petty larceny and received a sentence
of ninety days in the workhouse, while
Mcdonald was discharged. This
course, the police claim, was without
their consent and against the advise Of
the officers who made the arrest, par
ticularly in the case of Scott. To prove
the case against the young men the
detectives claim they had seventeen
witnesses ready to appear in court and
testify when the case was called on
the day set for trial. Instead Of con-
Quoting the case in the regular order
it is alleged that it was "railroaded"
through when neither Detective Muir
name nor Detective Calvin were present
nor any of the witnesses.
The censure in the case is placed at
the door Of Assistant County Attorney
Zollman. The police claim they placed
all Of the evidence in his hands, fully
informing him of the strong case they
claimed to have against Scott, but that
he called the case without their knoWl-
edge and informed the court that the
prosecution would be satisfied If Scott
was given a Workhouse sentence for
petty larceny Chief Of Detectives
Schweitzer and Chief Goss were angry
when they learned Of the disposition
of the case.

The report says the building IS not con-

the taxpayers were denied the right to ap-

order to keep the matter a secret from the
people as long as possible. the proceedings
were not published until Oct. H.
1t Is further related that the chairman
Of the county board formerly owned one OF

Five days before the trade was made he
decided the property to Roberts, his brother

house in the country will purchase
Fletcher's copyright on his plan to ap-
ply it to it's own affairs.
AS the deposits in savings banks now
average four or five times the annual
expenditure of the government, it is
probable that, if the postal bank does
not get them all, it will get at least
all the government needs to defray
expenses. 1t occurs to us that congress
will have another troublesome surplus
on it's hands again from the money
coming in from customs and internal
revenue. This is some $500, O00, 900 every
year. True, it can be used to pay off
the national debt, but that would last
only about three years, and what then?
That sum could not be taken from and
kept out of circulation without raising
a rumpus On the other hand the men
who now borrow it from savings and
other banks when they haven't enough
would have to have accommodations.
Would Fletcher amend his scheme so
as to allow loans to them? And if he
didn't where would they be in short
order? And would there not be a cry
to stop customs and internal revenue
taxation and let the money circulate?
And does not even Loren see that that
means free trade? And then would not
his own party be in his own old fix?

DOUGLAS COUNTY JAIL.
Secretary Hart Says 1t Is the Worst
In the State.

Secretary H. H. Hart, Of the state board
of corrections and charities, returned yester-
day from Alexandria, where he inspected the
local institutions. He says that the Douglas
county jail is the worst in the state, with
the possible exception Of the one in Wilkin
county 1t is located he says, in a cellar
and had six cells In ALL two wooden, two
iron, ard two brick cells. all Of them dark
and poorly ventilated. The brick cells were
built oHtside the wall underground like coal
cellars in city buildings. and were unfit for
habitation. They were so insecure that a
prisoner once escaped with other tools than
a brick and a piece Of frewood. Douglas
county had one of the best court houses in
the state, and is out of debt and has money
in the treasury The Jail Mr.. Hart visited
will soon be replaced with a new one, as the
cd one has long been an eyesore to the
county, and the county commissioners will
let the contract for the erection Of a new one
soon. The city lookup in the same town was
in the engine house. 1t consisted Of two. iron
cells nclosed in an inner room, constructed
of pine boards warranted to roast the prison.

MIR. FLErCHER,s "1DEE.v

Mr.. Page Morris, thanks to Demo-
cratic idiosyncrasy a representative in
congress from the Sixth Minnesota dis
trict, having incubated a postal saw
ings bank bill with nothing particular
to recommend it, that other statesman,
''Your Uncle" Loren Fletcher, also
representative, by grace Of the same
temporary alteration, from the Fifth
district of the same glorious state,
mindful Of the friendly rivalry between
the city Of slabs and bran and that Of
great expectations, must needs also
have his bill for the same useless OBJ
ject. The bill of Mr.. Norris and those
of the other financiers lodged the
primal problem of any such measure,
the investment Of the funds, leaving
their bills in that kind of a fix the get
ting into which in the long ago made
Your Uncle Loren notorious, If not
famous. Mr.. Fletcher's experience in
that historic scrape serves him now
His bill gets into no such ridiculous
fix So trifling problem as what to
do with the millions borrowed of the
savers Of dimes troubles him not for a
moment. So while lesser minds are
bordering over the problem Of invest
ment as If it were serious one,
Fletcher rushes directly to the solution
with the ease and grace that always
characterize these Napoleons of fl
nance. Columbus did not solve the
problem of making the egg stand on
end more easily or simply, or, let us
add, with less injury to the egg. Use
the deposits in paying the ordinary
running expenses of the government,
says Fletcher. He should add, but he
does not think it necessary, then make
the expenses equal the deposits.
On these deposits he would have paid
per cent annually. If the expenses
do not absorb the deposits then invest
in bonds of most any old kind. Is that
not simple? Is it not marvel that
no one ever thought of so easy a solu-
ton before? Aren't you prouder Of be-
ing a Minnesotan now than you ever
were before? The light that shines on
Lorens brow is reflected upon every
son of the North Star state. Since this
country grew to be a billion dollar one
1t takes about half a billion dollars an:
nually to pay its running expenses. 1t
now gets this money by taxing things
that come into our ports and things
that are made in breweries, distilleries
and tobacco factories. What it lacks
it charges over to deficit, or borrows
Mr. Fletcher's luminous idea, then, is
to borrow the money, with which to
pay the running expenses, of the de-
positors in the postal banks, and pay
interest on it to the extent of some
$4,000, 900 annually. AS this interest
must, in turn, be borrowed from the
same source, it must also pay the .
per cent, some S450O0O more annually.

SCANDINAVIAN TEMPLARs.
The Grand Lodge Puts in Another
Busy Day.

The Scandinavian grand lodge con-
tinued it's session in Garfield hall yes
terday. The reports show the order to
be increasing, there being at this time
seventy-fiv lodges with a membership
of 1854 Reports were also read from
Massachusetts and New York where
Scandinavian grand lodges have been
organized. In Illinois there are many
Scandinavian lodges, but all their eff
forts for a separate existence have been
defeated. The Minnesota grand lodge
passed a resolution of sympathy.
A special committee was appointed
and drafted resolutions memorialiZing
the international supreme lodge to re-
wise the rituals, laws and rules Of the
order, eliminating all matter Of re-
ligious nature, thus making the order
true to it's motto Our field is the
world" by which it signifies itself as
universal and open to the whole COM
munity.
The committee Of laws submitted
many changes which were adopted af-
ter sharp contentious. The committee
on appeals wrest1ed with many ques-
tions, making the session very interest
ing. More than one appellant will go
home happy.
No session was held last evening as
the delegates were rendered recep-
ton by Garfield Lodge No. 101. The
election of officers will take place to-
day.
