The warden OF the Allegheny penny
county prison board says in his report that
during the twelve months ending Decem-
ber 81, 1860. there were received als2 pris-
oners as against $40 the previous year.
The Jail physician says that ninety-fve per
cent. of those committed were under his
care for alcoholism. and out OF 5I27 who
were summarily convicted there was not
one who was not n victim of the alcohol
habit. Still there are people who look upon
the saloon business as necessary to NUM-
cipal prosperity. Such ignorance is bound
to be banishcd by the brighter light OF the

REFORM in METHODS
CHANGES MADE BY MIR. SHAW IN
THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
Letters Relating to Public Business
to Be Answered without Delay
National Capital News.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The secretary
of the treasury, shortly after he took
charge OF the department. decided to mod
ernie the methods with reference TO COM
munications from the public. their acknowl-
edgment and filing. The details were in
trusted TO his private secretary, Robert B..
Armstrong, who has worked out a scheme
for the expedition of public business in the
department. Card catalogues. electric time
stamps. and a new system of filing CORE
%spOndence resulted in securing to every let
ter a prompt reply. By direction Of the
secretary all letters hereafter will be ac-
knowledged on the same day they are re-
ceived. If they cannot be answered fully,
acknowledgment will be made and upon
investigation a complete reply will be for
warded at the earliest possible moment.
Under the new system the early morning
mail. which formerly was not distributed
to the various divisions of the Treasury
Department until afternoon, is now out of
the way before IL o'clock in the morning.
In the same connection all kilograms
heretofore have been received by the Treas
ury Department through the medium of
messengers. Delays resulted in forwarding
the kilograms to the proper destination for
consideration and reply. Hereafter all tel
egrams addressed TO the Treasury Depart
ment will be received by direct wire in the
department, copied in duplicate, and the
original stamped with a time stamp and
delivered direct TO its proper division. All
letters and kilograms are stamped with the
hour and the minute of their receipt.
Commenting on this new system Mr..
Armstrong said: Secretary Shaw be-
lieves the public should receive the same
treatment from the department that is
given it by any hrst-class business house
in the country. Therefore it is his wish
that any person writing to the department
should receive a prompt acknowledgment
10 his communication and a full and COM
plete answer to his inquiry, whatever it
may be. Personally, 1 believe the Treasury
Department should be an exponent of the
best and most modern business systems in
this country"
