BARS MARRIED WOMEN.
P. Q. Employees Who Have Husbands
to Be DISCHARGED.

Washington, Nov. pa general order
That on and after DecenD l, 1902, q
woman classified employee in the postal
service who shall change her name By
marriage shall not be reappointed" has
been issued from the office of the first
assistant postmaster general
In explanation of this course the post
master general said that he strongly
opposed the continuation in office OF
women who have married while on the
government rolls and whose husbands
are now living. His position is that a
wife's place is at home instead of at
work elsewhere, and that, unless the
husband can earn enough to support
both, the two should not marry. In his
judgment one salary to d family is suf-
ficient.
It is possible steps may be taken to
prevent the continuation in the depart
ment of women clerks who were mar
ried before this order was issued. One
instance has been discovered where
such a clerk earns 81, 400 per annun and
is married to a male clerk in the in
terror department who earns $1,000.
a number of similar instances where
the salaries paid either equal those
specified or are somewhat less are
known to exist
In order to make the matter entirely
plain Mr.. Payne has directed his bu-
reau chiefs to prepare lists of all women
clerks on their rolls who are married
and Svhose husbands are now alive.

GERMAN FARMERS COMING.
Will Make Tour of Inspection in the
United States.

Berlin, Nov. Pa large delegation CT
farmers under the AUSPICES of the Ger

cultural methods. Ts.e German embassy
at Washington negotiated the affair
with the agricultural department, which
Will furnish a guide during the entire
trip His expenses will be betrayed by
Baltimore where special attention Will
be given to dairy farms, and Washing
ton, where the agricultural department
viii be exhaustively studied. The Ger
man Agricultural society, though prl-
vate organization, has taken the United
States agricultural department as a
model and is trying to do in Germany
many things which the department does
in the United States.
After leaving Washington the indus
tries of West Virginia will be examined
and then the horse breeding and tobacco
industries of Kentucky will be inspect
Louis, Kansas City and Omaha where
the stock yards will be investigated and
also will inquire into the Nebraska beet
sugar industry. They will next stop at
the irrigating systems of Colorado.
From San Francisco the German
farmers will go an excursion to Los
Angeles and study the fruit farms. They
will return eastward via Tacoma and
see the wheat farms of the Dakotas and
Minnesota. Later they will visit Chi

tors, after which the Germans will be

WANT 1T FIXED.
East Side People Move to Sc
cure Pavement Repairs.

People living on East Sixth street. on
the other side of the viaduct, have held
a mass meeting. and appointed COM
mittee of which Jesse Shaw is chairman,
to come before the council Monday night
and ask the city to make repairs on the
limestone pavement on East Sixth
street which is in terrible condition
1t is proposed to ask the council TO
devote as large sum as possible each
year to repairing the pavement, and to
make the repairs take the form of en-
tirely new brick pavement They think
that the city should lay about block
or half block of new pavement every
year until the whole street is repaved.
The proposition Of the East siders Will
bring up a very large and important
question for the council to settle. and that
is where to draw the line on pavement
repairs" Under the law, the city at
large pays for pavement repairs. where
as new pavement to replace WORKOUT
pavement must be paid for by the prop
erty owners on the street paved
The East side people claim, however.
with much equity, that the S5,CG0 which
the city spends every year on asphalt
repairs is in reality paid out for new
pavement. The old asphalt is removed
in large blocks and new substituted. In
the course CT a few years of this kind
of treatment the whole street is rlrac-
tically repaved, at the expense of the
city at large East siders can't see why
similar arrangement should not apply
to their part of town.
What is true of East Sixth is also true
of the cedar block pavement on Wesl
Sixth If the city decides that it will
replace the wornout limestone pavement
at public expense, it will also have to re-
place the WORKOUT cedar block pavement
in the same way. There are about 20
blocks of WORKOUT pavement on Sixth
avenue, most of which is 60 feet wide
To replace it with brick would cost not
less than twenty or thirty thousand dol
lars This is allowing for only ONT
"a hra7r IL
there is concrete foundation already
on the ground.

FIRE BUG AT WORK.
Makes Second Attempt to Burn
Chandler Street House.

Who ever it is that is trying to burn up
the house at 51S Chandler street made
another try at the job about clock
this morning, and succeeded better than
he did a few days ago. The house is a
story and a half dwelling. and is owned
BY the HIntoon estate. 1t is unoccupied.
A few days ago when the fire was dis
covered il was supposed to have started
from scot on the roof. The blaze this
morning. however, was clearly incendiary
and now it is believed by Chief Wilmarth
that some one has been trying to burn
the house. Part of the roof was burned
off this morning, but most of the building
was saved.
There was also a fire this morning at
the home of Chas. A. Mills, 1913 Topeka
avenue. This started from a defect in the
crate and mantle, but did no damage.
While the hose wagon from station No.
was going to the Mills fire this morn
ing, one of the horses slipped on the icy
pavement at Eighth and Topeka avenue
and was badly hurt. 1t is not believed,
however, that the injury will be perman-
ent.
November has been a bad month for
fires. There have been 20 alarms, and
while none of the fires have been at all
serious, the runs have almost without
exceptions been very long and the horses
have been earning their oats. all right.
