WOMEN WITH FEDERAL JOBS
According to Last Report There Are
1880 in the Various
Departments.

If is more than 80 years since Gen.
simmer. who has been called the IA
Their of the employment of women in the
federal service, found places for Few
women In the treasury department at
Washington He was then treasurer OF
the United States. and there was
great dearth Of eligible employees in con-
sequence of the drafts made upon the
Young men Of the country by the civil
war. Gen. Spinner proposed the EN-
ployment of women in place OF men,
and the idea which he started has gone
on almost uninterruptedly since, but not
TO the extent that is popularity sup
posed.
By the last government report II ap-
pears that there are 10000 men in the
federal service Of the government as
clerks bureau chiefs and messengers, OF
whom not one-half receive $3.50 a year
or less.
There are II $50 women and girls in
the federal departments, OF whom 6.S65'
somewhat more than half receive less
than 500 a year. OF this number 2.OOU
are in the post office service, l,l5O in the
treasury department, 1900 in the bu-
reau Of engraving and printing, 1000 in
the Indian service. $50 in the govern
ment printing Office, 209 in the war de-
partment. $50 in the pension office, So ~
the navy department, 7s7 in the depart
ment Of agriculture and 1s in the depart
ment Of state.
Less than ten per cent of the federal
employees are women, and a great ma
iority Of them hold minor positions al
small pay. An outcry was made aftol
the close of the civil war by those WI,
feared that by the employment Of won,
en- and girls men were deprived Of ia
chance Of livelihood in Washington, bu
the fact is that the number of men he
increased very much more largely thar
the number of women in federal depart
ments during the last % years.

RELICS OF coNFEDERAcY.
Important Archives That Have Been
Purchased by the Federal
Government

In a fireproof vault, opening from q
small room on the third floor of the
treasury department in Washington,
are the manuscript archives which set
forth the diplomatic efforts Of the con
federacy to secure recognition as
member of tlH family of nations, to
obtain means TO establish an army
and navy and to bring about foreign
Intervention, according to the jack
sonville fla Metropole.
Washington contains other little
known but important relics of the con
federacy. Among the most important
are the pickett Papers" When the
most important Of the confederate
archives were removed from Richmond
the diplomatic correspondence was
hidden in a barn in Virginia. Later
the papers were brought in four trunks
from Richmond to Washington by Col.
! John T. Pickett, their custodian. Fail
he took them to Canada and there, in
1872. they were purchased for the use
of the United States. Congress ap-
propriated $4,000 in payment and they
we're brought to Washington. They
remained in their original trunks until
a short time ago, when they were
transferred to specially constructed
chests of polished pine.
In another small, dark room in the
treasury building stand seven large
packing boxes, filled with confederate
money, portion of which was cap.
tured from southern banks and from
confederate soldiers and which was
forwarded through the war department
to the treasury The larger share Of II
was collected by treasury agents, who
conducted the cotton business of the
United States in 1854 and succeeding
years. Every variety of confederate
note or bill may be found in thes'
boxes.
Among the confederate archives
there is a scrapbook containing a lith
oeraph copy Of the letter written By
Pope Plus TX. to jefferson Davis, re
plying to Davis letter thanking thu
pope for his open letter to the arch
bishop of New York and New Orleans
urging them TO endeavor TO restor'
peace. This is about the only one 0
the relics of the collection which Wis
| itors are permitted to inspect.

MRS. BREWERS WORK.
Has Done Much for Music in Lewis.
town Schools


The splendid performances given of
late by the high school orchestra and
glee club and the public school or
chestra have been more or less of 4
surprise to the general public. and the
proficiency attained by those organ
izations has directed attention to the
work done by Mrs. Brewer, who for
the past two years has been in charge
of the department of music at the high
school, and has incidentally instruct
ed large class from the city schools
Under Mrs. Brewers competent direc-
ton. the high school class in orches-
ira work has made phenominal pro-
sress and her class in vocal music has
really completed a course ordinarily
extending over considerably longer
period. The orchestra has had about
40 members and the glee club 80. al
though just now, at the close OF the
year. the membership of both organic
ations is somewhat smaller.
Mrs. Brewer possesses in marked
degree the ability to impart her knowl'
edge to others, and she is no less sue
cessful in inspiring enthusiasm among
her pupils and the progress made by
those under her direction is the strong
est evidence of this.
Among the smaller children of the
grade schools. her success has been SC
marked that it has called forth com
pliments from all who have had an OPP
portunity to see the results that have
followed her efforts in that field.
The glee club and orchestra at thl
high school have played an importan
part in the social life of the students
and the organizations have contribut
ed very much to the pleasure and sue
cess of the various entertainments Civ
en- at the high school. such as the
declamatory exercises. the society en-
tertainments. etc.
Mrs Brewers plans for the neXt
year have not been fully arranged a;
vet. but there have been so many eX
pressions of appreciation of her wor}
here thar it is TO be hoped she vii
continue to make I.ewistown her home
and carry on the work in which sh
has achieved so much success durin
the past two years.

PASSENGER Rates in Germany.

Writing to the Chicago Record-Her-
add William E. Curtis says:
Passenger rates in Germany are
lower than in any other European
countries and, probably, than any
where else in the world; and they are
fixed by the government. There are
distinct rates for fast and slow trains,
for express trains and locals. The
following are the rates on express
trains: First-class, PA cents a mile;
second-class, 1.43 cents mile; third
class, 8 cents a mile.
There is also fourth class still
lower and special rate for soldiers
which is still cheaper, but it is the
first and second class rates only in
which Americans are interested. On
all the German roads, especially those
belonging to the government, there
is very little difference between the
first and second-class accommoda.
tons.
In Germany and other parts Of Eu'
rope only fifty-six pounds of baggage
is allowed on any first Or second-class
ticket and on many roads only %
pounds, while in the United States
every passenger has right to carry
lao pounds. This is a very import
ant consideration because no Ameri
can will ever travel any distance with
5 out his trunk, and the charges for ex
5 ira baggage for an average American
: lady traveller are often equal to thu
g price Of her ticket.
e Between 65 and 70 per cent Of tn,
+ passengers in Germany travel third
e and fourth class. Between 20 and 2!
per cent second-class and only abou
g hve per cent first-class. The loca
i trains carry very much larger pre-
