Acting Public Printer Ricketts,
Made Suggestions to the Joint
Congressional Committee.
The PATENT OFFICE PRINTING.
Mr. Ricketts, Declares That 500, 900
Year Could Be Saved in That
Department Alone.
The $4,000 Annual Appropriation For
Franked Envelopes For Members
Of Congress Was More Than
Actual Requirements.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Acting Public
Printer Ricketts, made several sugges-
tions for the saving Of money TO the
government in its public printing TO
the joint committee on printing of the
senate and house of representatives. A
volume of 1890 pages was exhibited by
Mr.. Ricketts,. being one Of twenty such
volumes issued annually by the patent
Office, and containing pictures and de-
scriptions of patents issued. IL was
the belief of Mr.. Ricketts, that 100000
q year might be saved in the patent
Office printing alone by a condensation
of the subject matter alone He also
ventured the information that the $4O,-
600 annual appropriation for franked
envelopes for members of the senate
and house was more than the actual
requirements. These envelopes, al.
though manufactured and printed,
were not nearly all used
BY reason of the wages of the EN-.
ployes of the government bindery be.
ing 25 per cent higher than in com.
mercial Offices. Mr. Ricketts, was OF
opinion that much OF the binding done
for the government could be done out.
side with great saving TO the govern.
ment. He said that the old Task"
system in the bindery had been cone
away with. and all employees were Oh a
salary basis.
Mr.. Ricketts, expressed the opinion
that 20 per cent of the present cost of
composition is due TO correction in
proofs. which expense he showed could
be saved by more careful editing before
sending copy to the printer.
Representative Lands, OF Indiana.
chairman of the commission. took oc.
casion during the hearing TO say that
he thought that vanity is in a meas.
ure responsible for the immense
amount Of printing turned out by the
printing Office The proportion was, he
thought, largely dependent upon the
prominence of the authors names on
the title pages.

A STUDENT KILLED.
His Maneled Remains Found on a
Railroad Bridge.

Gambler, O.. Oct 30.-Stewart l..
Pierson, freshman at Kenyon col
lege, was killed by Cleveland, Akron
& Columbus train while awaiting ini.
tiation into Delta Kappa Epsilon fra
ternity. There was no eye witness to
the accident so far as known.
According to the statement OF the
members OF the fraternity Pierson had
been told to station himself at the
foot of an abutment of the railroad
bridge and await the coming of a com
mittee to take him to the frathouse
for the. initiation. When they went to
the spot an hour later Pierson was
not there. A hurried investigation re-
suited in the finding at the railway
bridge the students mangled body.
How he came to be on the bridge the
students are at loss to understand.
Rumorc we're afioat that PiersaH
had been tied to the railroad track by
the initiators, but the frat men en-
phatically deny that such thing was
done or even contemplated.
Young Pierson was a son of l.. N.
Pierson, business man OF College
Hill, Cincinnati Mr. Plerson. sr., is
a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon frat
and had come here to attend the ini-
tiation of his son. The body Of the
dead student was taken TO the home
of President Pierce, Of Kenyon, and
prepared for burial. 1t was taken to
Cincinnati Sunday morning on spe-
cial train by the father.
Before leaving Mr.. Pierson mott.
fed the members OF the fraternity
that he did not attach any blame to
them.
The theory advanced by the stu
dents and members of the faculty Is
that young Pierson sat down on the
end Of a railroad tie to wait and fell
ssleop. He had been up all the previ-
ous night awaiting his fathers ar
rival and was worn out by his long
vigil.
