Favors a Savings Bank.

For the purpose of encouraging those In
departmental service to save something
from their salaries (Which average, in my
judgment, fully % per cent higher, all
things considered, than Is paid for like serv-
ices elsewhere) 1 think it would be wise
to charter savings bank upon the mutual
plan prevalent in some of the states.
IF this should be deemed expedient 1
suggest that the board of directors include
an assistant secretary from each depart
ment, TO be named by the head of the de-
partment The executive committee should
be chosen from among the best business
men of the city, whose known interest in
others will prompt them to render thought
full, efficient and unse1fish service free of
charge. The institution could be placed
under the supervision of the controller of
the currency without additional expense
The only persons, therefore, to draw SAL
aries would be a treasurer and the few
necessary clerks. Having no capital on
which to pay dividends, and with expenses
reduced to the minimum. such an institu-
ton ought TO yield the depositors approx
imately 4 per cent. To insure It's manage
ment solely in the interest of government
clerks and employees deposits should not be
accepted from others.

Average Clerk Not Saving.

THE atmosphere of the departments Is
not favorable to the accumulation of saw
ings. The average clerk lives to the limit
OF his income, and many are in debt There
is probably no city in the world where the
rate of compensation for ordinary services
Is as high in Washington, and there
Is certainly no city of its size in this coun-
try where savings banks deposits are as
small. Six savings banks in the city of
Washington report deposits aggregating but
little over $3GO0,Go0, while Detroit, Mich,
about the same size as Washington. has one
savings bank with deposits of $500, COO;
Minneapolis, Mimi, slightly smaller than
Washington, has single savings bank with
S120o0,0O0 on deposit, and Cleveland. Ohio,
slightly larger than Washington, has one
savings Institution where 10000 depositors
have SIS 100000 on deposit.
L believe it incumbent upon the govern
ment TO DO everything reasonable within
Its power to inculcate within the depart
ments principles of economy such as Ben
Jamin Franklin taught, the application OF
which Will, in every case, barring sickness
and misfortune, insure competency
There are in the Treasury building $50
clerks who have served over thirty years.
One hundred dollars saved each year and
kept at interest at per cent would have
yielded nearly $4,000. which is a competency

TO AID THE CLERKS
A Proposed Departmental
Savings Bank.
Mr.. sHAW's IDEA
TO ENCOURAGE SELF-RELIANCE
AND INDEPENDENCE.
Suggests That the Board Of Directors
Include an Assistant Secretary
From Each Department.

BY far the most interesting part Of Sec
rotary Shaws annual report to Congress.
made today, SO far as Washington people
are concerned. is that Congress provide for
departmental savings bank for the BEN
eht of the government employees. The rec
ommendation is sure to attract widespread
attention.
This is what Secretary Shaw says to
Congress:
There are In the District of Columbia,
approximately, II. Geo clerks and other per-
manently employed officials. receiving
salary OF $500 more per annum. Many
OF these are we'll advanced in years,
eral nearly ninety. quite number past
eighty and hundreds past seventy. Some
of these would have been separated from
the service ere this but for the element
of sympathy which connot b eliminated In
concrete cases where separation means
casting the unfortunate upon the charity
of friends, and especially If there be no
friends. 1t is impossible to observe the
faithful service of this great army Of as
soclates for any considerable period with
out becoming intensely interested in their
welfare.

POLICE COURT D0INCs.
Edwarl nelmss Kssps Paying to City
 Treasury.

The recording angel of the city court was quite busy to-day dishing up the records of those who were before Judge Peasley. '.He is one of my best customers said Superintendent Com bellack, referring to Edward Holmes "He brings more money to the city treasury than anyone else who comes to this court" Holmes was charged with intoxication, and he blamed all on his wife, He said he came to town yesterday to buy a few things and while his wife was in the dry goods store he was waiting for her, and while waiting he unconsciously drank what he called "a few beers.' Holmes was requested to contribute 8 more with the trimmings to the treasury.
 Another old friend of the court re- cording angel was Edward Beaulac. He was up only few days ago charged with intoxication, and was put on probation. Besides intoxication he was charged to-day with being an habitual inebriate. Officer Gabriel said he found Beaulac down and out on sidewalk on Phoenix avenue. As he was never before sent to jail, sen- tence was suspended on the charge of common drunkard and on the other he was given trip of thirty days to New Haven.
 Daniel Bergin told very laudable story in defense of charge for in toxication. It was all right until the recording angel took the stand, and then it was shattered to pieces.
 I'm taking care of the family now" said Bergin.
 Yes said the probation officer. The is taking care of his family. He drew his wages, $9, the other day and gave $2 of it to his wife,
 Thirty days in jail," said Judge Peasley.
 The two small boys, Samuel Trau- rig and Louis Morganstein, who were arrested for stealing apples from AL derman Holmes's garden, paid $7 each in settlement of the cases.
