run w N"N''NO WI
There are 800 clocks in the Treasury Depart
ment and a man named Fleming is paid sS
a month for winding them and keeping them
IN repair. This duty il let annually TO the
lowest bidder and the cost has been reduced
from SIS TO IS a month by rivalry between
MIR. Fleming and another clockmaker who
secured the Job for two or three years through
political influence during the last Cleveland
Administration
Mr. Fleming had looked after the clocks
In the Treasury at a salary Of s75 n month rs
long as anybody could remember. until he con-
sidered that privilege a vested right. and when
II was taken away from him by Secretary Car
isle he was very uneasy and finally underhid
his rival and offered 10 do Il for 500 n month.
The contract was given him and the next year
the other man undcrbid him and got the job
for $50 a month. Next time Fleming came in
with an offer Of s45 a month, which was really
lower than anybody could afford TO make, be-
cause II requires nearly all his time 10 per-
form the duties, particularly "a many Of the
clocks are getting old and constantly need
repairs. In the other departments the mes
sengers Of the different bureaus look after the

that only one Of the TWENTY-FIVE or thirty clocks

and that Is a big gilt affair which stands on the
mantel in the Green Room and was purchased
