NOT TO GO TO BOSTON

Corporal" Tanner, register of Wills,
made a call on the President this morning
and talked with him about politics ana
some local affairs connected with his office.
Mr.. Tanner is having something of con-
test with the auditor of the State and other
departments about the turning over to the
government Of any surplus money that may
accumulate in his office, and about some
that is alleged to have accumulated there
toward the close Of the last fiscal year.
The law provides that the Office Of the reg
lister of wills Of the District shall be self
maintaining institution and the register
must see that 1t is managed in this way
that Is. that the receipts of the office must
pay all expenses. The law Is silent as TO
any surplus that might exist at any time,
but during the administration of President
Harrison he issued an executive order that
there should be settlement at the end OF
every three months and that any surplus
should be turned into the treasury OF the
United States. The deputy auditor for the
State and other departments Is OF the opln-
ion. 1t is stated. that this order Is Still IN
effect but Corporal" Tanner has made an
investigation and finds that the order was
amended, making a settlement and turn
ing over of funds every six months the
31st of December and the Goth of June
Registers In the past are said to have con-
Strued the Oruer ABOUT as tney saw H. anu
Register Dent is said to have made set
Element but once a year-at the close OF
each fiscal year.
At the end of the fiscal year just closed
Register Tanner did not turn In anything
to the treasury, simply presenting a state
ment that the account between his office
and the treasury was even, and that he
would begin the new fiscal year without a
dollar. That he might be able to turn in
a clear sheet to the treasury, however, Mr..
Tanner is charged with having distributed
something like 5000 among his clerks and
shown himself pretty liberal as an official
of the District. When the charge was
called to the attention of Mr.. Tanner today
he smiled and said he would not have the
least objection to the auditor looking into
| his expenditures as freely and fully as he
desired. as he had confined himself within
the law.

Wage Increase for Machinists.

The President was called upon this morn
ing by James O'Connell. president Of the
International Association of American
Machinists, and Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor. With
them were Emmett L. Adams, David r.
Thomas. Thomas L. Dornin and Bernard
G. Ladd, local committee Of Columbia
Lodge of Machinists The object of the call
was to again lay before the President the
question of the wages Of the machinists en-
ployed in the Washington navy yard
President OConnell and his organization
have been making efforts for some time to
secure better rate of wages in the yards,
asserting that the machinists there are not
paid the same rate machinists employed
in various occupations throughout this ter
ritory. The President took the matter up
once before and asked the Secretary of the
Navy to take action. The Secretary refer
red the question to the wages board of the
navy yard which some time ago gave IL
| careful consideration and failed to make a
recommendation for an increase In the

Mr.. Tanners Explanation.

Mr.. Tanner went on to explain that owing
to the comparatively meager receipts of the
registers Office and the heavy work to be
done the clerks are all underpaid. The ma
jority of them, he said, draw $50 and $50 a
month, there being as many clerks at $50
as at SEQ. About four persons received SIS
per month, and one man gets S.1O. Il
found it necessary last June to reduce the
force to cut down expenses said Mr..
Tanner, land had to dismiss five persons.
AS these clerks could not be given leave
of absence Of thirty days l directed my
disbursing officer to raise their salaries for
the month of June If the receipts of the CT
flee permitted it to be done. We fortunate
ly received a good many fees about this
time. and found that we had about $500 on
hand that we might not have immediate
use for. The five clerks were paid salaries
their services and which we could not pay
all the time.
When we went to count up we found that
we ought to do something for the poorly
paid clerks, and l gave orders that cler KS
receiving less than $3.50 per year Should
have their salaries raised fer the month of
June, but that beginning with the new
fiscal year the salaries would return to the
old figures because of the receipts. When
we had made up our pay rolls We found
that there was a surplus Of 1886 on hand.
l instructed the cashier to buy stamps with
that amount and turn In clean sheet, as
| the turning over of that sum would cause
much auditing and waste of government
| time That's the whole story. The law
clearly gives me the right to regulate tho
salaries of the Office. and l am sorry that
the receipts will not permit me to pay bet
| ter salaries all the time 4
| 1t is stated that it has been a practice
| o. registers of Wills to turn in comparativ tive
| ly little to the treasury each year. 1t is
| said that in the last four years of his al
| ministration Mr.. Dents surplus turned into
| the United States treasury amounted to less
| than s75 each year running below $50 for
several years.
| To prevent an accumulation of cash In
| the office toward the close of the fiscal year
| it is said that it has long been custom OF
| the office to ask lawyers and others to alb
| stain from payments of large bills until
| the beginning of new fiscal year, thereby
starting the Office off with goodly amount
| of cash.
| Mr. Tanner did not discuss the details OF
| his fiscal-year settlement with the treasury
| but informed the President that at some
| future time he desired to take up with him
| the question of issuing an order which
| would allow settlement to be made at the
end of each fiscal year and not twice OF
| oftener a year, at the same time making
| clear the difference of opinion that now

Probably Not Going to Boston.

Corporal Tanner urged the President to
accept the invitation to visit the national
encampment of the G. A. r. at Boston this
month and review the great parade. The
President feels that he would like to do so,
but he has refused so many invitations on
the ground that he does not think 1t wise
to travel around much this year that he
believes 1t would be entirely unfair to
others to accept this invitation, no matter
how much he might regard it as having
especial reasons appealing in its behalf

that New York would cast her electoral

Cash Register in a Tomb.

~. lor a New York house to his
friends in the cafe, may or may not
be run for profit, but 1t is the only
cemetery in the world, SO far as
know, where a cash register was put
into tomb.
ut is the custom in some parts of
Europe to charge a small fee for a
visit to the tomb of some great man.
But the tip usually is paid to verger
at the door in as transformations a
manner as possible. After Garfield's
monument was finished l went to Lake
View cemetery with friend to look
at 1t. When we paid our dimes at the
entrance we were rung up on cash
register, the same as you see in any
bar or quick lunch restaurant. The
incongruty of the thing never seemed
to appeal to anybody."-New York

Better Than Salary.

A boy or man who works simply for
his salary. and is actuated by no higher
motive, is dishonest. and the one whom
he most defrauds is himself. He is
cheating himself. in the quality OF his
daily work, of that which all the after
years. try as he may, can never give
him back. If | were allowed but one
utterance on this subject. SO vital to
every young man starting on the jour
ney of life. would say: Don't think
too much of the amount OF salary your
employer gives you at the start. Think,
rather. of the possible salary you can
give yourself in increasing your skill,
in expanding your experience, in en-
larging and ennobiing yourself"
A mans or boys work is material
with which to build character and
manhood. 1t is life's school for prac-
tical training of the faculties, stretch
ing the mind, and Strengthening and
developing the intellect, not mere
mill for grinding out salary of dol
lars and cents.-Success.
