NI'KINLEY UP WITH HIS MAIL.
He and His Assistants start with a
Clean Desk.


Washington, March 9.-President Nc
Kinley started work this morning with a
clean desk. He and his clerical assistants
were up with the mail What this means
can be appreciated only by those who
have acquaintance with what has hereto
fore taken place at the white house at the
opening OF an administration. For months
the President and his clerks were fairly
swamped under the wagon loads of letters
dumped on their desks every day. Nearly
all of these epistles related to appoint
ments, and each according to custom had
to be answered. 1t was not until the first
half year or more of the administration
had passed that the White House clerical
force were given a breathing spell. While
at Canton Maj. Mckinley took time by
the forelock. Every letter relating to an
official subject was answered from there,
with the result that when he entered the
white house he did not have a mountain
of correspondence to clear away. That is
the reason the white house clerical force is
very happy to-day, and looks forward to
the future with some satisfaction.
The first regular cabinet meeting of the
new administration was held this morn
ing at II o'clock. President Mckinley in
tends to keep up the practice of holding
conferences with his official advisers twice
a week on Tuesday and Fridays, at the
hour named.

INSURANCE ON CITY PROPERTY
A Committee to Look After 1t Here
after.

A Committee to Look After 1t Here
after.
Alderman r. NJ Hull has been appointed
a committee of one by Mayor Meldrim to
look after the insurance of the city's prop
erty.
The first item which received the alder
mans attention was the insurance of the
Massie school and he was considerably
surprised to find that insurance was car
ried on this building by both the city and
the board of education, each being in ig-
norance of the fact that the property was
insured by the other. The fact that the
building was doubly insured is no protec-
ton, as the alderman well knew, the pol
lev of many Insurance companies providing
that the carrying of any other insurance
than that stated in the policy voids the
policy. Alderman Hull is taking steps TO
rectify this mistake and is also investi-
eating to find if any other public property,
including school houses, is doubly insured.
The double insurance of the Massie
school is doubtless due to the fact that it
is the only school building in the city
which belongs to the city, having been
built by the city with money left as be-
quest for this purpose many years ago. 1t
is through the Massie school commission
ers that the city obtains representation on
the board of education. The latter body
doubtless provided for the insurance of all
property owned or leased by it and includ-
ed the Massie school Whoever had charge
of the insurance of the city property also
included the Massie school and thus the
double insurance came about

who have proved themselves more eifi-
cient than men, especially where mulil-
ated notes are concerned. This work re-
quires a high degree of accuracy and skill.
There is one lady who examines all the
burned money and knows more about it
than anyone living. She can take a few
charred remains OF bills and make out
the exact sum they represent She pastes
all the scraps on a piece of paper and
carefully examines them under a magni-
flying glass. Whatever she says was the
original sum of money represented Is
given to the owner of the pieces.
II is to the women that all the redeem
ed money is handed over TO examine for
countcrfets. They are wonderfully expert
at this work and say they can tell a
counterfeit by instinct. This has to be
done very rapidly, as the notes have to be
counted and the bad ones picked out at
the same time. Next the notes are sorted
and put up in packages of 100 each. The
bundles are then cancelled by a machine
that punches four holes In each, after
which another machine cuts them in
halves.
Finally, all the bank notes are chopped
with knives in still another machine in
the treasury department, but the treasu-
~ notes and certificates are sent to the
bureau of engraving and printing, where
they are macerated In a tank and boiled
with water and acids. The pulp thus
made is sold for paper stock.
Women likewise count all of Uncle
Sans coins. They do this work with as
tonishing quickness, throwing out all
counterfeits and mutlated ones at they
go. All of the good coins are put in bags
and ready to go into circulation once
more, those that are mutilated going to
the melting pots of the mints to be made
over into new money.
The minis of the country are practically
under pettcoat authority. The stamping
of the coins with the dies Is all done by
women Every gold coin made by the
government IS weighed separately on a
pair of very delicately adjusted scales
and must be perfectly exact before II rs
allowed to go into circulation. This is
likewise done by members Of the gentler
sex.
In the Philadelphia mint there is one
large room in which 100 women work.
This is like an enormous school room,
with one of the ladies in authority, as tf
she were a teacher. Every now and then
the chatter becomes so loud that one can
hardly hear ones self think, and then the
head Of the class raps hard on her desk
and demands silence. The quietness lasts
for a. few minutes, when the talk begins
once more and II is as noisy as ever. They
would not be human and feminine II Sc
many together in one apartment could
keep still.

Cleveland, O., March 9.-Early this
morning the old employees of the Globe
Ship Building Company, who have been
on strike for two weeks, began to as
semble at the yards gate and stood there
only waiting for the whistle to blow. All
were there and expected to go to work,
but only as many as work warranted
were taken in. In all about 400 out of $50
strikers were taken back, and the rest
will be able to get work before the end
of the week. Manager Newman said;
There is enough work in sight to give
employment to several hundred more men
than are now on the pay rolls. The yards
will be busy all through the summer on
new vessels and repair work. ] am well

concede was formal recognition of the
union, but they say the signing of the
