Office High, Salary Low

The lieutenant governor of Missouri re-
signed recently under suspicion of hood
ling. The lieutenant governor of Missouri
receives 81, 900 a year for his services and
81 a day additional during the period when
the legislature is in session. But as the
session is limited to seventy days, the maxi
mum compensation of the lieutenant gov
ernor is 81, 400 a year.
The lieutenant governor of Iowa receives
s., 100 a year for his services, and he gets
it only in the alternate years when the
legislature meets. AS he is elected for
two years he practically receives $3.50 a
year.
The lieutenant governor of Mississippi
is paid even less. He gets $500 a year,
except when there is a special session of
the legislature at Jackson, when he is paid
50 a day extra. Such special sessions in
Mississippi are rare, and they don't last
long.
The lieutenant governor OF Arkansas gets
no regular salary. He Is employed. SO to
speak, on the waiting list, receiving so a
day as compensation for those days in
which he actually works. The constitution
of Arkansas limits the session of the legis.
lature to sixty days, so the pay of the
lieutenant governor cannot be more than
$500, but he is locked $40 for each day he
is absent from Little Rock.
The lieutenant governor Of California re-
ceives the same pay as the lieutenant gov.
ernor of Arkansas, but as a special conces-
sion he gets $40 a day while the legislature
is in session. whether or not he is in at
tendance.
Georgia has no lieutenant governor.
Neither has Florida, oregon, New Jersey,
New Hampshire, Tennessee, Utah, West
Virginia nor Washington.
The lieutenant governor of Wyoming acts
also as secretary OF state and gets 5000 q
year for performing the duties OF both
offices.
The lieutenant governor Of Vermont gets
s. a day during the session OF the Iegisla-
ture and 60 per cent Of the fees paid to the
insurance commissioner.
The only states which pay their lieutenant
governors well are New York and Pennsyl-
vania, which pay 5000 a year. The lieu
tenant governor of Massachusetts, receives
5000 a year.-New York Sun.

Killed Dr Schloss, who was the leader of a strike movement on the part of the outdoor relief physicians of Muhl- hausen, in duel two or three days ago. The surviving principal and the seconds apparently tried to conceal the cause of Dr Schloss's death. attributing 1t to blood poisoning, according to one report, and to an operation, according to another The police took possession of the body as' it was about to be ere mated at Gotha and the arrest of Dr Schwartz followed.
 The duel was the result of a contro- versy lasting for months between the management of the National Sick In- surance funds and several thousands of physicians employed by the free hos pitfalls for outdoor relief. About three months ago the physicians threatened to leave the states service in body unless their compensation was in creased from 79 cents a visit to at least 10 cents. They. also demanded certain other ameliorations in their condition. The physicians in the Muhl- hadsen hospital, under the leadership of Dr Schloss, actually did go out on strike for time but resumed their duties pending an investigation. Dr Schloss and Dr Schwartz since then had an embittered personal quarrel.

 Rev W. J. Slocum has purchased for the Immaculate Conception church corporation, through the real estate agency of James A. Hynes, the Fitzgerald property at the corner of Scovill and Cole streets and has already taken steps to have it remodeled and fitted up as a day! nursery and sewing school. The property consists of two buildings, a. two and half story frame house of sixteen spacious rooms, store and land fronting 70 feet on Scovill street. 83 feet on Franklin street, 99 feet on the south end, and "A feet on the west 1t stands directly across the way from the Mulcahy Memorial hall, St Mary s convent and St Marygs parochial school buildings, and will be-in charge of the Sisters of Charity, three more members of the order coming here to perform such services as will be re- quired of them in the day nursery and sewing school.
 It is an ideal spot for such purposes as it is to be put to and will come i'll just right, for women who want work, can get it and are willing to do if, but find themselves handicapped for suitable way of having their little ones cared for during their absence. Father Slocum says that the end in view is to assist and encourage those who show disposition to do all in their power towards helping them- selves.
 The building was erected over half a century ago by the Methodist soci- ety. the small structure they had been using prior to that time and which stood on what is now known as Union square green not being able to accom- mofate them any longer. This was considered big step forward in the onward march of Methodism in Water bury, but after all they soon outgrew this, too, and at the breaking o1t of the civil war the church people had gone to other quarters and the bui1d- ing was fitted up as factory for tie manufacture of knapsacks and WEEl the demand for these gave out 1t WITS used for a time as a sash and bliT q shop. Years ago it was convertcd into tenement block and became as part of the Droperty of H. Rs Gan1py' from whom John FftzgeraIa father Of the clerk of the depa artnaent Of ellura~ tion, bought it some time since. Father Slocum has not given out tiicI full scope of the institution, but enough has been learned about them to warrant the Statement that the day is not far off when the parish will have a day nursery and sewing school which will be equipped with everything tlrat goes to make d first class institution of that charac- ter. 1t will be a GodseIfd to many good women who have been complain ing that were it not for the care Of their children they could do much towards earning funds to maintain themselves and make their homes something nike what they would wish to see them
