IT'S NOT SUCH A "sNAP"
Holding Cabinet Position on 5000
a Year

1.-THE position of cabinet officer must be a
snap in Washington" remarked a visitor to
a resident official friend in the office of an
uptown hotel this morning. II wCdld like
to have the Office rendered to me. The
alacrity with which 1 would accept the
portfolio would be astonishing"
But there might be reasons why you
would not accept. .Ireplied the official. 1.-THE
position is very far from a snap, as you
say, and 1, being poor man, would, for
one man in the capital, decline the honor,
no matter how much might secretly de-
sire the Office.
"There is not a member of a cabinet, with
possibly an exception here and there. who
gets out Of the game for less than $4,000 a
year, and no one under $4,000 or $4,000.
To properly maintain the position of cabi-
net officer, to live upon the salary paid
would entail the practice of economy which
would be quite unusual. A member of the
House can live, and many practically do,
upon his mileage, but not a member OF the
cabinet upon his salary. I have known Of
many members of different cabinets who
have spent from 1000 to S150.0O0 year.
In the Senate and House combined there
are scores Of men who have practically no
incomes other than their salary of 5000 a
year These men work for what may be
properly termed their wages.
Cabinet officers do not work for their
salaries: they merely accept what the Con-
stage coach days, to be adequate compensa-
ton; the salary Of the office did not enter
into their calculations in ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred when their portfolio
was rendered them

man, as most of them usually are, they
work for variety of reasons. Some have
wives who have social ambitions and tastes
which cannot be gratitied in their former
environment Others work for the per-
sonal pleasures the privileges and the hon
ors the position bestow, the last being more
or less passed down to their posterty. 9th
erS give up 100000 year income toll like
messengers over their desks by day and eat
official dinners at night for reasons past
finding out. Some believe, usually erro-
neously however, and occasionally correct
ly that service in the cabinet may prove of
future use to them In presidential cOnven-
lions or in senatorial elections. Dozens Of
members of the cabinet have become sick
Of their task and have resigned before the
end of the first two years.

If suspicious about a gold coin always look
at the reeding. An expert refller of gold
coins can extract from $40 to SIS worth Of
gold from a $50 piece and like proportion
from coins of other denominations.
Another way of extracting the interior
of genuine gold coin Is by boring small
hole in the outer edge with little machine
which operates like dentists tooth-boring
machine. The little revolving borer cuts
out the soft gold, and when the coin is
made into hollow shell it is reiiled with
platinum. as in the other instance, plated

Gloucester County historical Society.

The April meeting of the Gloucester
County Historical Society was held in
Friends Meeting House, Mickleton, last
Monday afternoon, the 18th instant. This
house Of worship is marcel of neatness
and comfortable sensation involuntarily
steals over the visitor as he settles himself
in the luxurious oak seats, 1--WE suppose
''benches" is the term applied to pews in
Friends houses of worship, but it don't
express the fact when applied to this
coy house,.
The audience, which numbered about
seventy-five of the intelligent gentlemen
and ladies Of that section, was augmented
by the presence of the children from
Friends school nearby.
President Whitall called the meeting to
order, and J. d. Carpenter was chosen
Secretary pro tenn.
The President then introduced Mr.. Dan'l
L. Pine, of Woodbury., who read very
interesting and instructive paper on
"reminiscences Of the Tonkin Farm at
Mickleton," which was followed by a
conference and discussion of points of the
paper. Benjamin Heritage then read a
paper on the upper Greenwich Friends
Meeting which likewise ELECTED interest
ing discussion. At an early date we will
publish both these papers in the DEMOCRAT.
The famous Mick1eton beech, tree with
spread Of eighty feet, and a girt measure
ment of ten feet and nine inches was the
subject of interesting discussion. When
felled recently its stump measurement was
four feet five inches. In reply to ques-
tion as to the age Of the big buttonwood
trees in front Of the meeting house, Mr.
Heritage said they were set out about the
time the meeting house was built-1799.
At 415 the meeting adjourned.

Woodbury. is just lined with gold, if
the occurrences Of the past week are a
true Indication. First, one OF our citizens
who through these many years, has made a
business of burying things inanimate, called
his man-of=all work to get a saoyel and come
with him. Leading the way to rear
yard, he directed the man to dig, and
soon an iron box, heavily weighted, was
uncovered, and taken to the First National
Bank, and its contents, $19, 500 in gold
was deposited. The bulk of this great
sum was in $40 pieces.
A day later a citizen who has spent his
entire life in delving in the soil, and who
was popularity supposed to he making an
honest but meager living, requested the
cashier Of one of our banks to come to his
house, and then was uncovered a box full
Of gold, silver and niclxles of such weight
that the strength of both men was unequal
to the task of moving it, and it was con-
yeyed to the bank on wheelbarrow. We
have been seeing much in the daily papers
recently of the shortage in the bank state
mepts, but we have no such fears of the
banks Of Woodbury., since two of our citi-
zens, one reputedly wealthy, aud the
other reputedly poor, have had their fears
of the insecurity of banks removed.

To those interested in the affairs Of ed
ucation, the following will be interesting
quoted from The Normal Instructor and
Teachers World
Drawing is the art Of expressing an
idea Of form by means Of lines and shades
We must certainly take into consideration
the moral and physical training of the
youth. Whenever you get the heart started
right certainly the mental training will
take care of itself. Therefore we cannot
find any subject as we'll adapted to the
training of the moral side Of life. The
mental vision, eye, arm, and hand are all
brought into active work 1t matters not
what your chosen life work is, if you have
not pursued q thorough course in free-hand
drawing, you are not in any sense of the
word an all-round student AS it not only
trains the individual to see an object as ii
really is but to sketch it as well, student
who may have studied arithmetic, algebra,
geometry, calculus etc., is not a thorough
" trained student in the studies Of his
choice unless be has received fairly good
knowledge Of drawing. He may have
studied and mastered all the natural sci
ences, but if he lacks the training that
drawing alone can give, he is not well
rounded man for graduation.
"Would it be inconsistent to say that if
drawing trains the student to see and know
an object as it really is, that it would also
bring about the same result in the solving
Of some mathematical problem or business
transaction certainly not. Drawing does
not stop here; but it gives to the student
more self-relianoe and power to investigate
for himself. Studying Of inanimate OBJ
jects, such as, ball, box, and desk, ETC., and
the animate objects, such as, the tree, flower,
animal. and even man, you fail to see the
beauty in their form and relation one to
the other if you fail to have this special
training.
Drawing has a special training that
cannot be had from any other source, and
is equally az important as reading, arithme-
tic, bookkeeping, ETC., therefore it should
hold an equal place with them. The skill
fully trained mind along the lines Of draw
ing has greater opportunities to see and
appreciate the beauty associated with
nature, than the UNFRAMED mind is capable
of grasping This day and age demand
that the boys aud girls become more closely
associated with the natural surroundings
of everyday life -

woodbury. Bottle Works Ablaze.

About 9 o'clock this morning an alarm
of fire was sent in from box 26, at Wood
bury Bottle Works, but was mistaken for
box IS and the firemen rushed to the First
Ward, before the error was ascertained.
Then the apparatus was rushed to the
scene of the fire at the bottle works, where the
melting tank of house No. 1, had burst and
allowed about twenty-five tons Of molten
glass to escape. The intense heat soon
communicated to the woodwork near the
Southwest corner, and leaped to the rool
which was soon in flames.
When the fire department. reached the
scene, Superintendent Rice, of Blasius
Piano Works, had connected line of hose
from their works, thus facilitating getting
water on the blaze. AS soon as the depart
ment got into action, the progress Of the
flames stopped, and were soon under con
troll.
The extent of the damage cannot now
be estimated, but will probably not exceed
$4,000
