Clerks, Annual Excursion.

Once a year the clerks of the city have
an occasion upon which they forget the
trials and tribulations due to their voca.
ton, the Impotence of shoppers, and put
behind them the speculation as to which
rival establishment is offering the greatest
bargains-that occasion being when they
go down the river for a good time. Their
annual excursion occurs next Wednesday
by the steamer PentZ, to River View. and
when the boat leaves the wharf at 6:4E
pm. standing room only will probably
be hanging over the side of the boat.
The Clerks Association has been organ
lied for twelve years, and many of the
leading spirits of today were among the
original members. They always appoint

THE HEATS EFFECTS,
Its Influence Upon Workers in n
Government Department..

One Of the greatest proofs of the ener-
waiting effects of the heat on the physical
condition of mankind was furnished to q
Star reporter by the chief of the middle
division of the pension department., +. A.
Warfield Mr.. Warfield has statistics made
out each day showing the amount of work
accomplished. The work is in the form
of cases. comprising original, new dis
abilities, widows and orphans claims
These are filed from the states Of Ohio
Pennsylvania and Michigan. The cases
are accounted in each days work when
they have been finished, ready for final
action by the board of review.
1.-The decrease in the number of cases
finished on q warm day Is very noticeable
compared with the amount completed on d
cool one," said Mr.. Warfield. After JULY
1, when the heated term begins, the effects
of the warm weather on the number of
cases finished are particularly conspicuous
The last two months prior to n leave of
absence are the most facilitating
1T must be remembered, before giving
the figures. that are working very hard
just now, compared with the usual amount
of labor performed in the summer We
are doing more work in this summer sea-
son than ever before. l can give you the
weather and also during the past heated
term, and what mean can readily be
understood. We are Keeping up the pres
sure all the time. Take six days last Feb
ruary. The cases completed in those six
days were as follows: 173, 176, ia, 1S3 It's,
ia This represents asweeks work
ut will be seen that each days work
was nearly the same except in the middle
of the week, when, instead of ia or IT'S,
the cases ran up to 1873. The average
days work is nearly FIG completed cases,
Take the present month. July 2, when the
thermometer registered 90 degrees, only
1856 cases were finished. The day previous.
when the thermometer was only So 2OS
cases were completed July 6, when the
maximum temperature was u degrees, 147
cases were sent forward. July 7 the Their
mometer showed only 81 degrees, but the
effects Of the heat Of the previous night
were plainly shown. On that day only ITO
cases were filed. July 8. when the mer-
curry was up near the 90 mark, 149 cases
were completed. July 13. when it began to
get cooler 1871 were finished July ID when
the cool weather continued, the record
showed 174 cases.
II find the record of daily cases finished
for six days during the warm weather to
be as follows: 156, no. lat, 149, 14s, 147.
This Is q weeks work, and gives an aver
age of not quite lab cases a day, which
goes to prove what have Just been stat
ing. The six days work in July makes an
average Of 143 cases day, compared with
176 for the corresponding period in Febru-
ary."

suited In the change of presidency, 1t is
but Just to say that in Maj. George H.
Harries the employees had a stanch friend
lone who devoted a great deal of atten-

that Maj. Harries is a most level-headed
man. and one who never felt his position,
but. instead, acted very kindly toward his
subordinates. In taking his leave he has
the best wishes of all of the men. While
the loss of Maj. Harries is greatly felt, the
new president has received a hearty well

ciated"

In bad Shape.

IT am guilty. stammered Kate Sellers
when arraigned before Judge Mills today
on a charge Of vagrancy. Hates condition
was something frightful, and it was ell the
result Of too strong an appetite for strong
drink. There was a time in Hates life
when she was the wife Of prosperous
tailor and was happy. But his intemper-
ate habits and brutal treatment drove her
to drink. Whiskey killed her husband, and
Kate has been drunk most of the time
since his death. which occurred several
years ago, with the exception Of the time
she has spent in prison. Now the unfor-
tunate woman, who is fast nearing her
grave, has no home, but sleeps about in
alleys and on vacant lots. When Police
man Corby found her last night she was
in an alley. being pulled about over the
stones by several boys. The officer told
the court that the woman has no home
and Judge Mills gave her thirty days on
the farm.
