AN HONEST CHARwOMAN.
A Division Chief and a Clerk Made
to Pay q Reward.

A Division Chief and a Clerk Made
to Pay q Reward.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A novel decision was rendered at the
Treasury Department, growing out of the
act of an honest charwoman who found a
package Of money in the cash room while
cleaning up the Office after the clerks had
gone for the day. 1t was clearly an over
sight on the part of somebody connected
with this branch Of the service, but the
poor woman, who only receives so a
month. did her duty and returned the
package of money, which she could easily
have taken, and nobody would have been
any the wiser. This package was made up
Of 500 notes, and the contents would have
made the charwoman comfortable for the
remainder of her life. But she knew the
money did not belong to her. and that its
loss might entail a great deal Of trouble.
and she promptly turned 1t over to the
captain of the watch. who saw that it
reached the United States treasurer. Had
this money been taken away from the de-
partment the loss would have fallen upon
Treasurer Morgan, who is responsible for
every cent intrusted to his care.
When this circumstance was reported to
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip he resolved,
Mikado-like, to make the punishment fit
the crime, and this caused q novel decision
to be made. This was to the effect that
the clerk who had been guilty of derelic-
ton of duty should write a letter of thanks
to the charwoman and agree to turn over
to her one months salary as q reward for
her trustworthiness and honesty. 1t was
also decided to hold the chief of division
responsible with the clerk, and he is to
give up one-third of months salary to
the charwoman, who has made such an
enviable reputation by discovering and re-
money mislaid by one of his trusted en-
plOyeS.

IT. as may be the case, there are any

Workmen and tile Examinations.
1T is to be borne in mind that the great
body of common laborers are not classified,
and that the examinations in the case Of
the positions that are classified are not
scholastic. but thoroughly practical in
character. amounting in many cases to
nothing more than the registration Of the
applicant on the production of proper tes-
timonials to his character, and his ability
as a workman.
1T should be remembered also that the
beneficial results of the appncation of the
system have been abundantly proved. The
officers Of the navy have testified repeat
eddy to the improved character of the work
now done at the yards. Similar testimony
has come from those who have had to do
with the actual working of the rules in the
printing office: and the superintendent of
the bureau of engraving and printing re-
ports that, while the work under his direc-
ton has increased a per cent since the
classification of the operatives, it has been
necessary to increase the force only IL per
cent
THE National Civil Service Reform
League urges earnestly that the PROPOSE
ton to sweep from the classified service at
a stroke 5000 trade positions. and to re-
store the evils inevitably existing In con-
nection with appointments to such posi-
tons under the old system, be disapproved
by Congress, and that the equal oppor-
tunity of American workmen TO compete

PIECE OF A MAN ALIVE.
The Vault of His Skull and Five Rib
Gone and Legs Fractured.

The Vault of His Skull and Five Ribs
Gone ana Legs Fractured.
From the Chicago Tribune.
With Uranium largely of silver, minus
five ribs on the left side, his heart shifted
to the right Of his anatomy, and with
dozens of minor physical peculiarities, at
tested by scars from wounds and surgeons
knives, yet full of vitality and cheerfulness
George Burns, an inmate of the County
Hospital, is curiosity. The man has just
recovered from an operation performed by
Drs. Fanger and Murphy three weeks ago.
The last operation performed on Burns
was to extract a mimic ball, which he had
carried in his breast since the battle of
Antietam. The missile, which weighed one
and quarter ounces, was taken out, and
with it a piece of Burns breastbone, meas
uring by inches. Burns was born in
Massachusetts, and Is sixty-five years old.
He was the captain in a Massachusetts,
regiment when wounded at Antietam.
When able to get out again he was trans
ferred to the navy. His present home is
Cincinnati, Ohio.
Almost the entire vault of Burns skull is
missing, and in place of the bone he has a
silver plate by & inches. Over this plate
the scalp has grown. and casual glance
would fail to reveal any lack of bony
structure. Besides this remarkable brain
covering Burns lacks, stated, five ribs
on the left side, and his heart is shifted to
the extreme right side of the body. An
other remarkable feature is that Burns has
carried his silver skull for over ten years,
and until few months ago was employed
as an engineer. In 1887 Burns was en-
plCyed as engineer on the steamship
Savannah, which piled between Boston and
Florida. In January of that year the
Savannah was wrecked. Burns was in the
engine room when the steamer struck a
rock When the shock came Burns was
thrown into the whirling machinery. When
he was rescued life was discovered how
ever, and he was removed to Philadelphia.
1t was then learned that both his legs were
fractured, his right arm broken and five
ribs were crushed, one of which penetrated
his left lung. Last, but not least, the top
of his skull was crushed

BROAD TIRES.
The Demand for Better Roads Makes
Progress.

The Demand for Better Roads Makes
Progress.
From the New York Tribune.
The recent report on the relative merits
of broad and narrow tires by the agricul-
tural experiment staten at Columbia, Mo-,
will again call attention to this question
50 important to farmers. The advantage
Of broad tires is SO obvious that the failure
of farmers to adopt them generally seems
at first sight strange. But there is prac-
teal reason for their apathy. When roads
are bad,-and many roads, unfortunately,
are bsd-tfe bread tire offers such resist
ance that the vehicle cannot be moved.
On the otter hand, although the narrow
tire cuts deeply through the mud, it can be
moved for that very reason, but, Of course,
with a great expenditure of strength Tn
the part of the horse. For these reasons
the average farmer in country where
the roads ere frequently bad cannot be
persuaded to adopt the broad tire. A con-
dition precedent therefore, to the use of
the broad tire is the general Improvement
of the roads, and as that is a question of
spending money, and often a good deal of
money, the argument in favor OF broad
tires does not appeal to the farmer.
There are, however, many signs that the
farmers are beginning 10 appreciate the
great loss involved in the continued use of
narrow tires. And the time is rapidA
coming whcl they will be convinced that
the outlay for thoroughly good roads would
be more than offset by the saving in horse
flesh and wear and tear effected by The
use of broad tines. Every one who thinks
about the matter at al! will see that not
only could a much larger load be carried on
good road with broad tires on the vehicle,
but 1t could be transported much more
quickly, and with far less work on the
part of the horses. So good roads and
broad tires are really the most economical
in the end, though they may involve a
comparatively large initial expense. That
Is the argument that will finally come
home to the farmers, who have thus far
been Indifferent to the question. And
when it does, the desired reform will be
speedily adopted.
Somewhat In the same line is the propo-
sition to build steel roads for vehicles.
But that plan would involve SO great a de-
parture from traditional ideas in regard to
country roads that it is doubtful If 1t Is
feasible for the present. But an improve
ment in roads followed by the general
adoption of broad tires for all vehicles
would be great step forward, and would
probably lead in time to the adoption of
rails for all vehicles drawn by horses.
Still further in the future looms up the
possibility of propelling such vehicles by
a motor, and then every road in the coun-
try would be practically a railway. Vision
airy as some Of these ideas may seem, the
great Improvement of roads during the
last few years shows that the reform is
making progress.
