Faithful Service.

Ea1Cn1u1 service.
The new fiscal year brought with 1t many
changes in the Interior Department. In two
bureaus of the department at least there
were numbers of promotions and appoint
ments. in the pension Office alone there
were more than COO changes.
In the pension Office the decrease in GER
tain branches of the work caused Congress
to authorize the cutting off of twenty-five
out of the $50 special examiners employed
by the office. These special examiners do
not hold regular clerkships. but are ap-
pointed for terms of one year. In the patent
Office two new chiefs of division were ap-
pointed. In both instances the positions
went to old employees of the Office. Mr.
w. w. Mortimer, for many years regarded
as one of the most valuable employees of
the office, has been given the title and pay
of chief of division. He has been in charge
of one of the important divisions of the
office more than year and half, but the
commissioner could not authorize his ap
pontment as chief of division with the
pay thereof until today. Mr.. Mortimer is
in charge of the division of photo-litho-
graphy, which has complete control of all
the photo-lithographic work of the office.
He is a practical craftsman and has per-
formed every class of service in the patent
office. He was an officer In the famous
National Fencbles during their palmy days.
and such materially assisted them to be
the best-drilied military organization in the
United States.
Another old member of the Fencibles, Mr..
Alexander Mosher appointed a CHIEF
of division in the patent office today. Like
Mr.. Mortimer. Mr.. Mosher has been in
charge of his division for a number OF
months. but has not been able to wear the
official title because of the failure of Con-
gress to provide for another chief in the
office of the commissioner of patents up to
the present time. Mr.. Mosher's division
has charge of the copy sales, and he is ac-
credited with having introduced a system
into the filing of copies of patents whereby
patent can be found when 1t is wanted
within an unusually short space of time.
Both these positions pay $1,000 a year. The
other promotions in the patent office fol-
