CAPITAL TEN PERCENTERs.

GOvernment Clerks Who Lend to
Their Fellow WOFkers.
II reckon I'll sell my salary this
MONTH" remarked the young census
clerk.
ITO wh0n?" asked his friend.
"Why. to one of the ten percenters,
Of course" was the reply.
Dialogues such as this are of fire.
quent occurrence between government
clerks in Washington toward the end
of the month. When a clerk sells his
salary to ten percenter, he gives the
latter an O y for the entire salary
due him on the following pay day and
receives in exchange 30 per cent Of the
amount. The man who makes the loan
retains the remaining 10 per cent.
whence his name of ten percenter.
The ten percenter is said to exist
under one name or another in all of the
great federal department buildings in
Washington. He is invariably shrewd
government clerk who has q bit Of
money of his own or has saved his sal

ever ready to lend in sums of from $40
to 500.
In majority of the Washington Of
fees the laws against usurers are SO
vigorously enforced that the ten per-
center is unable to transact business
in safety as an individual: he exists
nevertheless under the protecting title
of a beneficial society. These fake So
cieties should not be confused with
the mutual beneficiary organizations
which have been established for n
number of years in many Of the de-
partments, notably the government
printing office. for the purpose Of aid
ing sick or disabled members and their
families and Of burying the dead. Tie
ten percenters' society never includes
more than FIVE or six members. They
have their charter and carefully
drawn constitution and bylaws.
Each member contributes certain
amount of money to the funds of the
concern. and the other employees Of
the Office are quietly Informed how
they can be accommodated with loan
for small bonus. On the first of every
month the pool divides its profits.
These organizations are usually short
lived, as they become unpopular when
the business begins to grow large. The
death of one fake association Is rapidly
followed by the birth of a successor.

when n Mnu Cnn See 200 Miles,

About 200 miles in every direction Is
the distance a man can see when stand
ing, on a clear day. on the peak of the
highest mounta.n--say, at Il height of
26,6GS feet. or n little over five miles
above the level of the sea. An observer
must he at Il height of G.GG1 feet above
sea level to see objects at distance of
100 miles, The distance in miles at
which. an object upon the surface Of
the earth is visible is equal to the
square root OF one and a half times the
height of the observer in feet above the
sea level
Some allowance has to be made for
the effect of atmospheric refraction,
but as the rofracton varies at differ
ent heights nd is affected by the var-
Gus states of the weather no precisely
accurate figures for general purposes
can be given. Probably one-fourteenth
to one-tenth Of the distance given by
the formula would have to be deducted,
owing to the refraction Of the atmos-
phere.

An After Battle scolding.
The leading regiment Of our column
was the Fifty-third, COMMANDED that
day by Major Paw afterward Genera
Sir william payn.C >. c. b., a very fine
regiment. WHO. being mostly lr'shmen'
were eager to meet their enemy. Mean
while received orders to cross the rlV-
er by Il ford and get round the enemy >
right flank, and l had gone for this
purpose and was crossing about quar-
ter of q mile lower down. when sud-
denly l heard loud cheering and
heavy muskctry fire, and then saw
our troops calamity advancing across
the bridge to the assault.
1t turned out to be the Fifty-thlrd,
who, tired of the delay under fire anu
1t was whispered, hearing that Sir
Colin had sent for his pet highlanders
to take the bridge, took their bits be-
tween their teeth and without any
further orders determined to rush the
bridge themselves, which they accord
ingly did. and with great success. Inc
enemy. once forced out of their posi-
ton. showed but a poor. desultory
fight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy
prey to the cavalry. who. having cross
ed, some by the bridge and others, in
Guiding myself. by the ford. fell on
them and pursued them with such sue
cess that we captured every gun they
had.
The Fifty-third were well pleased
with themselves and the result of the
fight they had so suddenly initiated,
but we heard that Sir Colin was great
ly annoyed with them and after the ac-
ton rated them soundly for their in
subordination. But little did these
wild Irshmen care. They had had
their fight. and a real good one, so far
as they were concerned, and as Sir
Colin concluded his speech Of rebuke
they gave him three cheers. and giving
three cheers more for General Mans

had formerly commanded their regl-
ment. they quite upset the CHIEFS equa-
nimity. but at the same time cleared
away his wrath.-"Old Memories"

DOWN WITH ANARCHY!

A nation, aye, the world stands
aghast. While holding reception at
the industrial Exposition at Buffalo
William Mckinley, one OF the best
presidents these United States have
ever known, was shot down by the
ruthless hand of an anarchist, and
now lies at Deaths door. The first
feeling which moved the pulse of the
people on learning the dastardly at
tempt, was speeches. grief and hor-
ror. Then came desire for swift
vengeance on the would-be murderer;
and only the prompt action of the Of
fcers of the law prevented lynching.
Now tender solicitude tor the
G )ndition Of the Chief Executive and
his suffering wife is p. ramount. With
This there is an undercurrent of alb
horrence for the vile class Of vlperS to
which belongs this man, Czolgolff, and
outsp ken threats against the whole
class of murde1erS known as anarch-
lists show how deep is the feeling Of
the American people, and in fact the
whole of civilization against these
bloodthirsty enemies of all law, orler
and progress. 1t would need but few
more such cold bloodtd attempts at
assassination as came near robbing
the United S ates Of it's President at
the Rainbow City, to ill the Ameri-
can heart with such thirst for ven-
geance as would cause the people to
rise in their might and totaliy de
stroy all who are even suspected of
anarchistic tendencies.
The Americans have long cherished
the idea that the methods employed
by Russia In dealing with this class is
cruel aud barbarous, but as we learn
more of the methods Of these fan .tics
we come more and more to feel that
no process If slo torture, and no sy-
stem OF punishment is too severe to
be used in handling anarchists Ev-
cry newspaper OF anarchist tendency
should be put out Of the business,
and every meeting OF the anarchists
should be entirely bloken up by
the p)lice, and all the known
leaders tried fer conspiracy. Anarchy
is a cancer in the fair breast Of clvili-
zation. and tn. only way to treat it
is with the knife. Cut deep, and re-
m we the last creeping tentacle.

Read intelligently and with interest.

The Modern Horse Show.

The mp. to date horse show is the most
intensely interesting exhibition OF mod
ern times. The reasons for this are not
altogether plain, though it is evident
that the dual character of the show il
largely responsible for its popularity.
Custom makes the modern horse show
quite as much show of people as Of
horses. The ball was set rolling by the
great show which is held annually in
New York city. For a week, during
the month of November every year,
New York society holds high carnival
in Madison Square Garden ON the &C.
casiou of the morse show. Those who
have a professional interest in horses,
as we'll as the amateurs, are there in
force, but all society. regardless of In.
forest in horses. comes TO see and be
seen, and the great building is verita-
Bile hive of fashion FOR the full period OF
the show.
The other horse shows throu ghout the
country have been patterned after the
New YORK show as closely as possible,
aud everywhere che annual events have
proven popular beyond tbs greatest ey-
pectations of their promotefs. Atlanta
held her first horse show last foil. under
tneNauspices of the Fair Association. II
made n great hit with the public. There
was SOME doubt as to the outcome of the
project until after the first night. and
then it was simply question of supply
ing enough seats, and this the manage
ment was never able 10 40.
But the great Coliseum on the Fair
grounds Is being completely remodslled
for the horse show this fall, and there
will be ample seating capacity. A mum.
Der OF boxes will be added as well; in
deed, the interior Of the building will
be arranged on modern lines in every
way, and those vino attend the Fair and
horse show this fell will witness q
veritable transformation. The great
arena, the elaborate decorations, bril-
liant lights, and more than all else. the
beautiful and richly gownsd ladies
everywhere 10 be seen, will make the
picture worth going long way to see.
