Man on the Pay
Roll.
Has Worked For Uncle
Sam sc Years.
Henry Clay Recommended Him
TO Jackson.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Richard
White,of Kentucky,is the Oldest clerk
IN the executive departments in Wash
ington. With the exception of post
master in New York State, who has
held his Office for "A consecu-
tive years, White is believed to be the
oldest man in point of service as well
as in years in the federal employ. He
was appointed in 1885, and therefore
has spent sixty-six years in the SER
vice of the government. He was
personal friend Of Henry Clay, and
the letter Of Mr.. Clay to President
Andrew Jackson, recommending the
appointment of my dear friend, Rich
ard White" is ON file in the Treasury
department. Mr.. White was born In
1914, and thus has passed the Biblical
term of human life by Is years. In
addition to his record of long con-
tinuous service he holds another rec
ord that is without parallel. Nearly
every government clerk takes the full
30eday annual leave of absence au-
thorized by law, and the majority of
them also take advantage of the 30
day sick leave in each year. In all
his experience Mr.. White has never
exceeded 10 days in his absence from
the department in any one year.
Throughout his remarkable career he
has been employed in the office where
the accounts Of the Postoffice depart
ment are audited. He was appointed
at a salary of $64O year. For
brief time he drew $1,000 year, but
five years ago, because of growing
feebleness, he was reduced to $40.
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. 1t is safe to say
that Richard White will be assured
Of remaining on the government pay
roll as long as he lives.

Only a Few Published.

1t is not possible for the proprietors
to publish more than very few of the
numerous letters received in praise of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, and telling of its re-
markable cures. They come from peo-
pie in every walk In life and from ev-
cry state in the union. The following
from Mr.. II. w. Greathouse, Of Pratts-
burg, Ga, speaks for itself: II would
have been dead now but for the use of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. II cured nae of
chronic diarrheea after seven years
of suffering. I can never say too much
in praise OF that remedy. For sale By

Fitzsimmons wanted three months to

set at May 18th. In regard to the pro-
posed change FitzsimmOns is quoted as
saying:
mot for me. / am going to be in con-
ditiOn for this fight and l am not going
to cut one week off what l think is the
proper training to suit anybody. 1 am
going to win and then l am going to re-

question of money or chance to win
the fight 1 win throw away the money
before l will throw away my chances"

WASUlNGTON. March 1.-THE Pa
CinC Mail steamship Company and am
connected interests bid fair To- be uni
pleasantly surprised tomorrow. Ed
ward j. Liyeruash and Andrew Furu-
seth of San Francisco hayo been plan
ming a strategic move which is 20 be
made during the session of the Senate
I'm the afternoon
THE fight against the sailors has been
so hot said Mr.. Livernash, tonight
that we have determined To- carry the
war into Africa our Chinese eXClu-
sion bin has a section known here as
the sailor section 1t prohibits the
employment aboard American ships OF
Cinnamon not entitled To enter the
United States. The Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, which employs Chinese
seamen exclusively, paying $3.50 a
month. as against $50, the ruling wage
for white sailors. has, of course been
doing it's utmost to kill the section. If
we COuline the sailor fight to- the eNClu-
sion bill alone, the outlook Is blue,
though not hopeless But we figure
that we can gain a substantial advan-
tage by doing some of our fighting i'm a
corner of the war field where big in-
terests are struggling to- get the Frye
Hanna ship subsidy bill ON the statute
books.
Senator Paterson of Colorado is GO
ing To lead movement IN the senate TO
pursuade the men who stand for subsl-
dizing ships to stand also for the prin-
Ciple expressed in our sailor section.
An amendment has been drawn to the
ship subsidy bill, and will be presented
tomorrow whereby no vessel can get the
benefit of any subsidy provided for by
the Fry Hanna bill if it carries Asiatics
i'm its crew.
This move is not likely to be popular
with Mr.. Schwerin and his assistants,
for Senators Fry and Hanna have been
saying a lot of things i'm the course of
the debate on the ship subsidy bill
which ought to put these gentlemen In
our camp on this Asiatc question whe-
Their they really wis., to be there or not.
This does not mean that the ship sub
sidy is a good thing, or that Fry and
Hanna are against us in the Chinese
fight"

turned and studied the sea. The tide

She stood motionless. thinking very
hard. Yes. Every time she had seen
the face on the sand it had been early

the tide was coming in.
She turned, smile on her face, re-
garded the sand image wistfully, then
suddenly stopped and stuck pink car

she hastily retreated TO the hotel to
well on with their breakfast.

But Miss Cunningham looked so sur

face felt so red that she escaped to
the open air as soon as possible. She
had not gone far before she saw Mr..
Hammond sitting on bench, gazing
pensiyely at the sea. His tan shoes
were wet and sandy. In his fingers
he clasped pink carnation as IL it
were a precious relic.
She paused near him. His preoccu-
patton was so great that for moment
he did not perceive her. Then he
bounded to his feet, his face discount

She nodded.
"will you sit down just for minute

She seated herself by his side. Judg-
