The Unemployed in Germany.

1t seems from consular reports that
there are none. Colonies for the So
called unemployed" take tnem out of
this class Immediately and make pau
perism unknown. Each city supports
large offices where hunters for work
go and register. They get bath, have
their clothing disinfected, and if the
unions which support these institutions
have no work for them in cities, they
are sent to the farm colonies in the
country, where they can work at farm
ing, land reclamation, and in other pro-
ductive capacities. The system of
these unions is said to be very COM
prehensive; they are open to all, and
besides providing opportunities for
workers, have systems of old age pen
sions, insurance against accidents, and
other benefits.

King Alfonso recently had curious
adventure at Madrid. He had left
Granda one morning incognito. He
guarded his identity SO strictly that
no one suspected his presence and
when he presented himself at the royal
palace the sentry refused him adHait-
tance. The King inspected the apart
ments being prepared for President
Loubet of France, who was preparing
to visit the youthful Spanish monarch,
and then sent summons to the aston
ished ministers to come and hold a
council.
The Empress-Dowager of China is
thoughtful of her subordinates. Here
is an edict of hers issued recently
which will bear out the idea: wong

age, and in the daily audiences his

COUNTING UNCLE SAM'S CASH.
Occurs Every Time New Treasurer
is Appointed.

Owing to the recent change in the
office of Treasurer of the United
States, task of no small magnitude is
going on in the Treasury Building.
Every time one Treasurer gives way to
another the cash must be counted and
verified before the new official becomes
responsible for the money under his
care.
AS soon as change is made the
Secretary of the Treasury appoints
Committee of Three to select a force to
count the cash. This committee picks
out number of clerks in the various
offices of the Department, and they are
set at work to count the millions. Per-
haps there may be forty men selected
to perform this huge count; maybe
fifty or eighty. 1t is always considered
an honor to be one of these counters.
The total sum counted by these men
is somewhere in the neighborhood of
five hundred and thirty millions in
money, bonds, notes and everything
else. One vault alone contains over a
hundred millions in silver dollars. An
other has a heavy amount of silver
fractional currency, and many tons of
nickel five-cent pieces and pennies.
The working cash is handled first,
and in order to give it chance to do
regular duty it is counted at night
Most of the money is counted in bulk
and stored away in uags, each contain
ing certain sum. 1nese are weighed
and if there is even one dollar short,
there is instant detection of the wrong
count. AS each bag is filled by clerk,
who attaches his name by a tag, any
discrepancy in the number of coins or
any coin missing from the sack is
charged to him. This is done, not only
to check any tendency toward dis
honesty, but also to cause each counter
to exercise the greatest care. The new
Treasurer is Charles H. Treat, of New
York, who takes the place of Ellis H.
Roberts.

Enforcing the Laws.

From the Washington Star.
There was nothing original in Gov.
Folks address at Chautauqua, N. Y,
recently, but the well-known truth he
enunciated took on greater weight for
his Endorsement. He is no closet phil
osopher, giving to the public the re-
suits of reading and speculation, but
a man of affairs who has done things
and noted the consequences. He was
elected District Attorney in st. Louis
in the expectation that he would ignore
the laws and let those who were vio-
lating them continue to flourish on
their iniquities. Instead of that, he
enforced the laws and saw conditions
all around him rapidly improve. When
therefore, such n man tells us that a
cure for many of the ills we are endur-
ing as people is the simple execution
of the laws, he has the strongest pos
sible claim upon our attention, and his
advice is worth following. Laws are
of little use unless their enforcement
is demanded and backed up by public
sentiment.

The British agents slowly poisoned
the minds of the Savages against the
new comers but it was not till 1S47
that the savages in council determined
to massacre all the American settlers
in their country.
The site of DR.. Whitman's dwell
ling was on the north bank of
the Walla Walla river at what is
now the town of Wahula. The In
dams surrounded the houses of the
mission their weapons hidden under
their blankets. At dawn of November
%, 1S47 an Indian entered the doctors
house and asked for medicine As
the missionary turned to his medicine
chest the savage buried his toma-
hawk in the good mans brain. Mrs.
Whitman was killed minute later
by the same savage with the same
weapon. The murder of the mission
ary was the signal for the wholesale
to begin. The butchery COM

firearms, the groans of the dying,

women and children danced and sang
as the atrocious work went on. They
multilated the dead. Women and
children of the settlers sank under
bloody knife and club. The massacre
lasted all day and then numbering
parties started in every direction.
Everybody in the Whitman mission
was killed and many settlers all
through the woods were slain. The

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.--In the West
Side court yesterday Magistrate Wahle
handed down a decision as to the
right of photographing paintings with
out the consent of the owner. The
magistrate held that it was not a case
of larceny and discharged William G.

1t was alleged that Gray had retained
copies of "The Sewers" by Millet, the
property of George w. Vanderbilt,
which picture is hung in the Metropoli

In deciding the case Magistrate
Wahle maintained that if the owner
procured an injunction restraining any
one from copying the picture, and then
copies had been made, larceny is
committed. The case proved very in
teresting and Magistrate Wahle in
looking up opinions on the matter
found there never had been a similar
case in the courts in this country. He
found similar cases in England one

MAY SELECT NEW
CHIEF OF POLICE
COMMISSION WILL ACT NEXT
TUESDAY
If No Deadlock Occurs, Choice Lies
Between Paul FIammer, Former
Chief Glass and Captain
Auble

If Mayor McAleer adheres to his de-
termination to have a unanimous vote
of the police commission on the ap-
pointment of a chief of police. it is
probable that a deadlock will ersue
when the commission attempts to
name chief Tuesday morning.
There are three candidates in the
field. The mayor has made no secret
of the fact that he favors Paul Flam-
mer for the place. Commissioner John
son is equally frank in his partiality
to former Chief Glass. Commissioners
James, Mason and Gates are noncom-
initial. Acting Chief Auble is a can
didate for the position but with no
avoWed supporter on the board, but in
spite of that fact his chances appear
about as bright as either of the others,
for it is probable that he may be the
harmony candidate.
In addition to the support of Com
missioner Johnson, former Chief Glass
has a number of petitions with many
signatures of citizens asking for his ap-
pointment. These petitions have been
referred to the committee of the whole
for consideration. These petitions are
signed by some of the most prominent
business and professional men in Los
Angeles and number of these have
actively interested themselves on be-
half of Mr.. Glass and have button
holed members of the commission and
held conferences with the mayor.
Acting under the direction of the
mayor, who has assumed the Office of
chief of police since the resignation of
w. A. Hammel, Captain Auble has
made a good record in the eyes of
the commission, which admits that it
can find no fault with what he has
done, but Mayor McAleer is opposed to
Aube as chief although he believes he
is an efficient captain of police.
