PENNsYS PENSION FUND
PREPARING TO PUT IT IN OPERA
TION ON JANUARY l. 1900.

Officers of the proposed pension fund
to be organized by the Pennsylvania
railroad on its entire system east Of
Pittsburg and Erie, composed Of the
Weep president and assisting controller
Of the company, met yesterday after
noon in Philadelphia to consider mat
ters of detail in connection with the
fund. The plan has already been ap-
proved by the board of directors Of the
Pennsylvania and Northern Central
railroads, and the boards of the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore,
the West Jersey and Seashore and the
West Jersey Ferry Company will also
be asked to approve it.
The officers are still hard at work
lperfecting the details of the plan, which
are now nearly completed. One of the
most important matters is to fix the
amount each pensioner of the COM
pany is to receive. While all details
are being closely guarded, it is under
stood that this amount will be on a per-
centage basis of the salary received
during the ten years preceding the PEN
sion.
About 1000 employees, It is said, will
be retired under the provisions of the
pension fund on January 1. These

the practical management of
the public school system.
The only non-partisan act the
Governor has ever done in the
matter of public education
was to vote TO retain the
present able and competent
principal of the State Normal
School. For this act he claims
great credit. but he never knew
perhaps. that the Democrats
kept Prof. Newell, a Republi-
can. in the same position for
about twenty years. The fact
was not heraled abroad. for the
Democrats did not use the pub
lie school system for political
ends. like Gov. Lowndes and
the Republican party is doing.
Gov. Lowndes has lately said
much in the public press about
believing in lifting the judi

Since he became Governor three
vacancies have occurred on the
