Plans in Operation Abroad.

Mr.. Kuhne then went on to discuss In
detail several plans which have been in
operation abroad for many years. The
first OF these systems which he took up
was that in which insurance companies
wrote pension policies for which corpo-
rations pensioning their employees pay the
premium.
THE insurance company pays the PEN
sion to employees Of the corporation" he
said. when they become unable to work
after service OF at least five years; when
an employe is siXty-liye years old or
older and premiums have been paid for
him for twenty-five years; TO the widows
OF such employees and to their children
under eighteen years old. The premiums
are 70 per cent of the yearly salaries,
payable in monthly payments, and 1 per
cent of each increase Of salary paid but
once Four thousand marks is the highest
salary on which pension is paid.
THE rate of pension varies with the
length of service. After five years of
service II is ten-sixtieths of the average
yearly salary, and increases one-siXtieth
for each succeeding year. but not 20 ex-
ceed forty five Bixtieths. If the employe
leaves the corporation four-tenths of the
premiums paid to him are refunded to the
corporation.
Disputes as TO retirement on account
O. disability are settled by a board of
physicians. In case of the death of an
Insured employe, his widow and minor
children are entitled to pension. The

PENSIONIuG OF
PUBLIC SERVANTS
Views of a New York Banker
On Subject.
HAS CAREFULLY STUDIED IDEA
Mr.. PerciyaI kuhne Addresses United
States Civil Service Retirement As
sociation - Representative GiIiett
Present.

The methods which the Governments
and corporations have adopted of pension
! ing their superannuated and disabled en-
ployes was the subject of an address by
Mr.. Percival Kuhne, a prominent banker
of New York, to the members of the
United States Civil Service Retirement
Association at the Arlington Hotel on last
| Thursday evening.
| The Retirement Association is an or
! ganizatiol of Government employees of all
| departments formed for the purpose of
securing the establishment of a pension
system for the benefit of superanuuated
clerks, either by assessment of employees
themselves during their working years or
by aid of the Government
Mr.. Kuhne has made an extensive study
of the various systems. successful and
unsuccessful, for the retirement on pen-
sions and annuities of public servants
and those who have long and faithfully
| served corporations.
| He was introduced by Mr. J. W. Starr.
president of the association, as one who
had made thorough study of and had a
wider grasp of the subject than any one
| else in the United States.
Does Not Regard 1t rs Charity.
The principle of pepsioning employees
who have rendered faithful service is not
regarded by Mr.. Kulne as charity. but as
debt which the Government or the cor
poration, or. in fact, any employer owed
| to the person who had served. Ii is to
the interest of the employer to surround
| himself with employees devoted tc his in
terests, condition most easily accom-
plished by their feeling that the employer
! Is their friend and that when they are
too old 10 work they and their families
VIII be provided for. in this respect Mr..
| kuhae continued:
This not only applies to banking insti-
| tutlons and corporations, but also to
| Governments. We employ men, expect
| faithful service, demand it at the risk of
| their position; We receive it and are
| benefited by it. Is there not a moral obli-
! cation due them? Should we simply turn
| them adrift, penniless, when their use
| fulness is over? Such a course Is wrong,
| in fact contrary to the spirit of fair
| dealing prevailing in this country. Our
| Government employees, thousands of faith
| full souls. have been trui to their trusts.
| should not then the Government be their
friend when they are too old to work, and
| assist them in the support of their fam
lilies?
In Continental Europe, where expert
ence is thoroughly ripened, the pension
ing OF employees of large institutions is
quite frequent. This problem is one
which the institutions of Europe have had
! before them for years. and it has been
their experience that the best way to Sc
cure faithful service and individual in
| terest is to pension those who have devot-
! ed their lives in serving them. In Ger
many practically every large banking in
stitution and corporation has adopted it.
while the Government provides Tor its Of
ficials out OF an appropriation made year
ly by the Reichstag and state Icgisla-
lures"

CHANBERLAlN'S STATEMENT.


London, Jan. sl.-Ths first impor-
tant, debate Of the session began In
the house Of commons last night on
an amendment moved by Frederick
Cowley, liberal, to the address in re-
ply to the speech from the throne.
The debate called out Mr.. Chamber
lain, the colonial secretary, who spoke
vigorously in defense Of the Boer
war. lie made the significant state
msnt that II, as Lord Rosebery's
speech intimAted, the Beers believed
they could at any time secure repe-
tition of Lord kitchener's terms, he
wished to inform them that they were
mistaken. lie added, however, that
the governments programme was not
one Of determination. The Beers, he
said, had already been offered terms,
the liberality Of which surprised
even England's most severe critics.
Since they had been rejected the gov
ernment did not propose to embar-
rass itself with n further specific Of
fer and certainly y would not with
draw the proclamation Of August T.
1901. 1t would not propose any gen
erhl coniiscation Of property.

SAVAGE INDIAN CUSTOMS.


Washington, Jan, 21,-Commisson-

circular letter to Indian agents to
correct a somewhat general misnn-
derstanding Of letter he recently Is
sued to agents directing the modih-
cation or discOntinuance Of savage
Indian customs. lie says the govern
ment mainly directs that agents cut
of all privileges from returned stu
dents, who, after coming back from
Carlisle Indian school and similar
institutions, paint their faces, indulge
in bar baric daAces and feats and wear
long hair Ike the old Indian. He
says tact, Judgment and perseverance
should he used and that agents
should begin gradually and work
steadily until the end in view is sc-
complitbed. II IL not expected nor
intended that agents shall be so pre-
cipitate as to give the Indians any
inst cause for revolt. This announce
mrnt, il is stated, 10 merely an au-
th~i,ative Interpretation OF the
meaning OF instructions given the
agents on the subject and in no sense

SAYS WHEAT Is ALL RIGHT.
Farmers Are Hopeful That tho Wheat
Crop II Unhurt.

T. Z. Scott, . prosperous farmer OF
Tescott, is very hopeful for fine crop
Of wheat. In speaking Of the wheat
prospects he said: "The wheat 'ln
my opinion has been lying dormant
during the dry weather and l 40 not
think it has been hurt. The top is
dead but when you examine it you
will find little green sprouts near the
ground. Then too when you attempt
to pull the wheat up the roots cling
to the earth showing that they are
still alive. Perhaps ! am too much
given to looking on the fright side OF
things but really think the wheat is
in good shape SO far and this snow is
just the thing to bring it out in nice
shape. The early sowed wheat and
the fields that were rolled or have
been pastured are of course in the
best condition"
