In following orders.
In all there are seventy guardians OF
the treasury, under the direction OF a
captain and two lieutenants Of the
watch. Capt. p. s. Talbert is the pres
ent head OF the force. Nearly all Of
the watchmen are men who were in
the war as mere boys. and are there
fore now In the prime of life. They
are thoroughly trained and reliable
men. Very few treasury watchmen
nave been discharged for negligence
since the foundation of the govern
ment. The possibility OF a raid upon
the treasury is regarded as remote, but
the watch force Is disciplined to stand
by for such a raid at any time.
TO observe the fashion with which
the night watchmen~ cover" their posts,
II might easily be thought that the
secret service is In constant receipt Of
information as to contemplated treas
ury robberies. Yet never a dollar has
ever been taken from the treasury by
force.
The secret service knows that many
celebrated cracksmen, including Lit
tie Jimmy" Hope. who successfully
pulled on the great Manhattan Bank
robbery, have from time to time con-
templated the conversion of a few mil
lions OF treasury money to their pri-
vate use, but they all thought better
OF 1t. They decided the undertaking to
be OF too colossal a character.
The watch force Is divided into three
reliefs, like an army guard, only the
treasury Waterman is on post longer
than the soldier. His tour OF duty lasts
eight hours. The first watch of the
day goes on at s in the morning. It Is
relieved ut 4 In the afternoon by the
watch which remains on duty until
midnight. The midnight watch, which
Is regarded as the most important of
the three, completes the triple-linked
guard chain, and goes OF at s in the
morning. There are only fourteen men
In the day watch, from s a. m. To 4
p. m. Each OF the other two watches
consists of twenty-eight men. Al

watch. so called, Is considered to carry

Somebody has been informing the
London Times that American children
are trained in their higher schools to
exercise the ritual of 'saluting the flag
in military style, and that their mar
tial ardor is by this and other means SO
blown into flame that when these young
persons leave their schools they form
themselves into societies and take a
vow to aVenge with their blood any in
suit to their country's flag" This
somewhat vivid description has excited
the horror of another reader of the
Thunderer, and he leaps to conclusion
in the following amusing and highly
characteristic style: Apparently your
correspondent uses the expression young
person i'll the technical sense Of fe-
male creature somewhere between girl
and awoman. Does he really desire that
young females of this kind should in
England form themselves into societies
to avenge with their blood any insult
to the union jack in Venezuela or else
where? Seriously, / think that the
American example in this, as in some
other things, is to be avoided as degen-
crate rather than followed Surely our
ancestors managed to conquer at Cressy
and Poictiers and Agincourt, at Blen-
helm and Trafalgar and Waterloo, with
out all this absurd civilian ritual on the
part Of schoolgirls, this religious wor-
ship, or rather idolatry, Of the persona
fed country under the symbol Of a flag,
and these silly VOWS by young Hanni-
balls in petticoats If the people Of the
United States is really beginning to
worship itself as an abstract unity, it is
a sure sign that it is beginning to aban-
don the only true worship, and to retro
grade to mere civic naganisn. =
