UNCLE SANS FAILING.
Claims Against Him Are
Just and True.

Woe betide the luckless individual
or firm who permits Uncle Sam to get
into his debt and allows and becomes
the victim of hitch in the routine
which prevents him from getting his
voucher Immediately. Uncle Sam does
not mean to be dishonest, but he is
oftentimes more generous than just.
He will give money in advance, but
hates to settle for dead horse, says
the Philadelphia Press.
The files of congress TEEN with
claims against the government that
have been pronounced just in equity
by committees from the house and
senate time and again, hut which have
not reached the contamination of fig
uring in a necessary appropriation
bill. Outside of the claims growing
out of the civil war, whose name is
legion, are hundreds of worthy
claims representing work performed
for the government under contract,
and material furnished or damages
incurred through no fault Of the
claimant. These drag their weary
way through session after session,
and congress after congress, some
times getting favorable report from
the house in one session and the
senate in the next, but somehow fail
ing to receive final sanction.
Pathetic sights are witnessed
every day about the capitol in con-
nection with these old claims. The
old-timers around the building como
to know the claimants, and it is
easy to follow their fading fortune
! in the mute evidence Of their despair.
They grow older and grayer and
thinner and shabbier as the years
roll on, but always the fever Of
hope burns in their eyes, and they
come up at the beginning OF every
new session rejuvenated for the mo-
ment with the hope that they have
| another chance.

PLATINUM SELDOM STOLEN.
Professional Thieves Realise That,
Although Valuable, lt 10 Not
Easily Disposed OF.

One kind of valuable plate quite
abundant in New York is seldom
stolen by burglars, though the metal
of which 1t is made for exceeds sill
yer in cost, says the Times Of that
city. Every college chemical labora-
tory and scores of factory labora-
tories have costly vessels made of
platinum. The plain metal is usual
~ worth about it's weight in gold,
and made up into crucibles and other
vessels used in laboratories it is
much more, valuable than in it's ordi-
nary form. The makers of such
ware, in fact, must earn large prof
its, for their charges are high, al
though the metal is made into the
simplest forms, without decoration
of any sort. A tiny crucible, hold
ing perhaps only gill, is worth
eight or ten dollars, and some of
the larger vessels used by chemists
are worth several hundred dollars
each.
The value of these vessels is so
great that they are locked up every
night in safe in any well-conducted
chemical laboratory, and frequently
counted. Damaged vessels, and even
the smallest scraps of platinum
wire, are carefully treasured, and
sent to the factory from time to
time in order to be made over into
new vessels. A chemist has some
what the same feeling toward his
platinum plate that housekeeper
has toward her solid silver, but the
chemists plate is worth far more
than any but the most deliberately
wrought silver ware. 1t is also much
more liable to damage.
The presence of small quantity
Of lead in hot crucible of platinum
is lilely>~to bring about a puncture
of the crucible. A punctured crucible
must go to the factory, and repairs
are very costly. Much of such ware
used here is made in little Pennsyl-
vania town by single firm, and
there are few workmen who under
stand the art of handling platinum.
Treated with care, platinum vessels
are almost indestructible. They
seem to suffer nothing from the high
temperatures to which they are ex-
posed in the laboratory, and however
long in use, brisk rubbing rem
ders them as beautifully bright as
on the day when they came from the
factory. They are ordinarily cleaned,
however, by the application of hot
water and acid solutions, as they
gradually lose in weight by rubbing.
One reason why platinum imple-
ments are seldom stolen by burglars
lies in the fact that they are not
easily disposed of. The metal is hard
to melt, and large vessel is not
easily hammered out of recognition.
Pawnbrokers are shy of accepting
articles of platinum, because such
articles, having q comparatively mar
row use, are not hard to trace.
Small crucibles and platinum wire
and rods do occasionally disappear
from laboratories, but the larger
articles are rarely stolen. When a
man presents himself in the shop.
with metal worth in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 pound for sale, he is
naturally expected to tell how it
came into his possession.

New Hampshire for the honor Of the
name OF one OF the latter class, the
Western State finally winning out

class must be named after the States OF
the Union. but Secretary Moody believes

will accordingly recommend TO Congress
that some provision be made whereby
such names as those mentioned may
be given TO ships hereafter 10 BE- con-

Governor William H. Taft. Of the
Philippines. may be Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court within a year 1t
is reported that Chief Justice Fuller
is to retire on account OF ilI-heaIth and
that President Roosevelt will name
the Civil Governor Of the Philippines
TO succeed him. 1t has been reported
ever since Governor Taft went TO the
Philippines that when he accepted the
place President Mckinley promised to
elevate him to the Supreme Bench upon
his home coming. President Roosevelt
holds Governor Taft in the same high
regard as his martyred predecessor. and
only a short time ago is said to have
offered him the place made vacant by
the retirement Of Justice Shiras.
Governor Taft was persuaded 20 re
main in the Philippines by the best citi-
zens OF the islands, who declared that
he was needed there for some time to
come. II Chief Justice Fuller should
retire from the highest judicial Office
in the land. the President would un-
doubtedly offer the place to Governor
Taft
Prominent Democrats. however, are
bringing great pressure TO bear upon
the Chief Justice to remain upon the
