NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

Road Master VIM. Tarr of the Farm
ington branch of the Maine Central
railroad, states that as soon as the
snow is off the ground the remainder
of the trestle across the intervale will
be filled, so that trains will run on solid
ground from the Pennington depot to
the banks of Sandy river.
A new book of rules is out for the
conductors baggagemasters and brake
men of the Boston & Maine railroad
and more than the usual emphasis is
laid upon invariable courtesy to the
travelling public. President Tuttle's
employees are expected not only to set
the fashion in matters of masculine de-
pertinent as railroads go, but all MEM
bers of the sex as well. To bring out
the idea of the necessity of politeness,
the rules record that in ones own busi-
ness one would always be courteous to
his patrons. so does it equally apply
that railroad employees should mani
fest the same spirit towards the pa
irons of the railroad, popularity. known
as the travelling public, as they would

A Step in the Right Direction.

City Superintendent Mackey this
afternoon sent to each schoolteacher a
bulletin of information and advice. He
says:
Il wish to emphatically recon-
mend 20 teachers of every grade to read
the daily papers, and to keep informed
in regard To the most important meas
ures before Congress, general assem-
bly, and councils and the leading issues
involved in city, state and National
political campaigns.
In my judgment the teacher who
says she never reads the papers is not
qualified to teach. Read the papers in
diligently, discriminatory, and use
iudiciously in your school work the in
formation which you gain"
History is taught in the public
schools. But the most important his
tory is the history of today, and the
history of today is in the daily news
papers.
The way to study geography is to
locate, and estimate or characterize
the places named in the news of the
day. Yesterday there was the story of
the riots at Trieste and the slaughter
of French explorers by natives of New
| Guinea. Before that was the alliance
, between England and Japan, in which
was concerned the fate of China, OF
Manchuria, of Corea. Almost every
day we are having something about
the Philippines or Cuba. The discus
sion of the Isthmian Canal involved the
geography OF Central America. News
is frequent of revolution in Columbia
and Venezuela. Not long ago there
was much about the boundary dispute
between Chile and Argentina. With
out dwelling now on the numerous dis
patches from all parts of the United
States and Western Europe.
Hardly day that there is not news
from some part of the world on which
could be founded an instructive study
in history. And that is what we want
: of historv-to help us understand to-
day. 1t is today that we need to know
about; newspapers give us the latest
! Information: history and geography

true place and ue,-Philadelphia

A Kentucky Man Who Has Held Office
Cor 66 Conaaoi;4iva Xear7


Cor CO Consecutive Years
Richard White Of Kentucky is the
oldest cl,rk in the executive depart
ment in Washington, according to a
correspondent of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. With the exception Of a post
master In New York state, who has
held his Office for "a consecutive years,
White is believed to be the Oldest man
in point of service as well as in years,
in the federal employ. He was ap.
pointed In 1886, and therefore has
spent &C years in the service of the
government He was a personal friend
of Henry Clay, and the letter of Mr..
Clay to President Andrew Jackson,
recommending the appointment Of
my dear friend Richard White, is oD
file in the treasury department.
Mr.. White was born in 1914, and
thus has passed the Biblical term OF
human life by 1S years. In addition
to his record Of long continuous serv.
ice, he holds another record that Is
without parallel Nearly every gov
ernment clerk takes the full 30-day
annual leave of absence authorized by
law, and the majority of them> also
take advantage of the 30.day sick
leave in each year. In all his expert
ence Mr.. White has never exceeded 10
days in his absence from the depart
ment in any one year. throughout mis-
remarkable career he mas been EN-.
ployed in the Office where the accounts
Of the postoflice department are au
dited. RE was appointed at a salary
Of S640 a year. For a brief time be
drew $1,000 year. but five years ago,
because of growing feebleness, he was
reduced to $840.
Auditor Castle, in whose department
Mr.. White is employed, says the vet.
eran does his work to the satisfaction
of his chiefs in spite OF his great age.
While no civil pension list is main.
tanned by Uncle Sam, it is safe to say
that Richard White will be assured of
remaining on the government pay roll
as long as he lives.
