OUt' as House Servants.

Chicago, June 23.-A system of virtual child
slavery, in which children under fourteen years
of age "farmed OUT into households. in an
attempt to solve the servant girl problem" is
condition of affairs that has been brought to
the attention of the Department of Compulsory
Education, following startling revelations In
various justices courts of Chicago in the last

vinced there are hundreds of children from in
stitutions who are drudgfng servants in
households of the city, without being sent to
school,
Mrs. Krosnick was fined 500 and costs. the
limit in such cases. The two children under
her charge were Adelaide Walby. thirteen years
old. and Edward Kinder. ten years old. The
woman said she had taken the girl from sec
tartan orphan asylum in the city eight years
ago. This child found hard at work over a
washtub, and it was testified at the trial that
she had been i'll treated and compelled to work
at the hardest kind Of drudgery an average OF
twelve hours day. She could hardly read or

SHAKES UP TEN CAPTAINS
Dir. McAdOo Furnishes and Re7Cards
Commanders Of Precincts.

Commissioner McAdoo yesterday shifted ten
police captains. In two cases the changes were
from desirable precincts to undesirable ones.
but in most of the others the changes could he
considered as promotions. Since The Tribune's
exposure of vicious conditions at Fort George
Mr.. McAdoo has taken personal interest in
efforts to work reforms there. and his transfer
of Captain Halpin from the West 152d-st sta
ton yesterday may have been due to his dis
satisfaction with the work of the police IN the
precinct. The transfers Of the captains were as
follows:
Bernard Gallagher, from Adams-st-. Brook
Iyn to West 47th-st-, Manhattan: Bernard
Shaw, from Madison-st.. Manhattan. to Adams
ST., Brooklyn; Cornelius Hayes from West 3ith-
st to Madison-st. Denis Ward. from Alexander
ave-, The Bronx. to West 31th-st: Robert a.
Tighe, from Borough Hall. Brooklyn, to Alex
ander-ave.; James E. Dillon. from Central PARK
to Kingsbridge; Patrick Byrne, from the Grand
Central Station to Leonard-st.; Henry Halp1n,
from West 152d-st. to Charles-st.: John j.
O'Brien from Charles-st. to Greenpoint-ave'
Brooklyn; Patrick Summers, from GreenpohI-
ave. to Bath-ave., Brooklyn
Wherever the transfers leave a station WIFI
out captain. the senior sergeant will be desig-
mated as commander for the present. This VIII
be the case in the Central Park and West loZd-
st. stations.
The transfer of Captain Gallagher from Ad-
ams-st., the Tenderloin of Brooklyn, TO west
47th-st the new Tenderloin of Manhattan, Is
regarded as promotion. Inspector Flood pro
NOTED from a captaincy three days ago. was the
last to hold command in West 47th-st.
The transfer of Captain Hayes from west
8Tth-st to Madison-st is considered an act of
discipline. Captain Wards transfer to west
37th-st is boost" The transfer OF captain
Tighe from Borough Hall. Brooklyn, where he
has been rusticating since his trial. to Alex
ander-ave. is advantageous to him. since IL
gives him some active work to DO.
The changes still leave the West lOoth-st.
station from which Inspector Sweeney was
taken when he raised from a captalncy;
without a captain The senior sergeant will
command there until Commissioner McAdoo is
ready to name captain for the post. Sergeants
in command of precincts are not to be called
acting captains here, since the Civil Service
Commission has forbidden such designations,
but will be known "sergeants In command
Captain O'Brien head of the detective bureau
also must drop the title of acting Inspector.

HAS A FORTUNE
IN RARE STAMPS

SALT LAKE, March 23.-Most chill
ton of Johnny's pockets after his re-
tirement at night will attest. And
there are few men who do not attempt
to make the collection of some partic-
ular thing hobby, although some are
so busy trying to collect the almighty
dollar that they never have time for
anything else. There are men, how
ever, VINO make collecting a fine art.
One of these is David A. Callahan OF
this city, who has one of the finest col
lections of stamps, as. he has also of
coins, in the United States. To the or
binary observer, this collection of
stamps is most bewildering, there be-
ing over IA, 100 stamps, some of them
of fabulous value, and no two alike.
His collection contains all of the
American stamps ever issued from the
first, 1S47, up to the present day.
Among them is the one of 1868, grilled
on the back to prevent counterfeit, and
the one of 1869, without the grill and
unused, which is worth $50. Beside it
are the 1S70-71, grilled, - and 14-cent
stamps, which sold at auction for SIS
each. The regular issues up to 1894 are
worth So apiece. Newspaper stamps,
used for vouchers, and never supposed
to leave the newspaper Offices, are in
the collection, the 2-cent stamps being
worth 500. Here are found also the
stamps of the different departments
of the United States, which were is
sued in 1S47. At this time there were
different stamps for the departments
of the Interior, Justice. EXECUTIVE,
Postoffice, Navy, State, Treasury and
War, all different colors, to be used for
nothing except business in these de-
partments. In the year 1S47 is the
stamp known as the post orbitum, or
the death stamp, a stamp placed upon
dead letters at the dead letter Office.
Complete collection OF the following
are in Mr.. Callahan s book: The Con
federate stamps; Baden, absorbed in
the German Empire in '6S; the BAHIA
mas; the triangular wood-block stamps
of the Cape of Good Hope; Egypt;
Great Britain and Ireland; Hamburg
and Hanover; Hawaiian Islands COM
plete with the exception of the first
four numerals, which are worth $4,000
each Those of the Hawaiian Islands
in Mr.. Galatians possession are worth
each from a hundred dollars up. Bear
ing one of these stamps is a disinfect-
ant envelope of the year 80. which is
made with a hole in it to disinfect the
contents that they miGht not carry dis
ease from the lepers.
