Several days before General Joseph

was discovered that village choir was

The next Sunday evening this per-
formance was continued, and there
were a number of recruits to the Choir

made and the song service was ccatin-
ued for over an hour. On the third
Sabbath one or two brought hymn
books with them and the service took
on a more formal character. 1t is now
the regular thing to have this Sunday
evening service of song, and the por-
tiers Of the hotel arrange chairs and
distribute hymn books among the audi
ence, so that everybody can join in.
There are evidences, however, that the
congressman are weaTying a little OF

were charmed with the scheme and
they joined in in goodly numbers, until
now there are not enough male voices
to counterbalance the sopranos.

And shout to the sentinel pine,
Hurrah! hurrah! you are keeping the faith,
And guarding this dear love of mine.

And race with the reindeer to lay at her

And flashing his waves into foam,
Though tossing his kisses and gifts at her

Alas! he no farther can come.

exchange houses with the best outside
connections. The remainder are what
are known as bucket shops. This is a
pretty good number for a town OF
about 100000 inhabitants, OF whom
100000 are negroes who are not per-
mitted to indulge in speculation in
these places. The large number or
government clerks here who receive a
stated salary probably accounts for the
patronage of the bucket shops. They
are sure of their pay and squeeze out
few dollars every week or month to
throw at the birds" in these-places.
There is no anti-bucket law in WASH
ington, but the practice of clerks spec
ulating in them is frowned upon by the
higher officials in the departments.
That makes no difference, however, as
the clerks claim they have a right to
do what they please with their own
money. At noon, when a half hour is
given for luncheon, hundreds of clerks
can be seen rushing out of the big gov
eminent buildings to the nearest buck
ct shop and taking a whirl at the mar
ket.
There have been some sensational
runs of luck on the part of government
employees who pike" along on a few
dollars and one per cent. margins.
About ten years ago a little group Of
these every day clerks began playing
in the bucket shops and later went to
the legitimate exchange houses. One
of them began with a $40 bill, which
in the course of four years had run upg
to S1,00O,OOO. This is a historic case
and has inspired more patronage for
bucket shops than any other incident
in the history of the city This mans
money could not stay with him, how
ever, as he dropped his whole amount
in the Northern Pacific squeeze a few
years ago and he is now an ordinary
''piker,' but without a government joy.

government employees who have
reached an age where their usefulness
is impaired can be separated from the
government pay rolls. Chairman Taw-
ney, of the house committee on apprO-
worked out a scheme which prevents
the paying of employees over 65 years
of age more than 1000 salary. 1t fur
Their provides that after the year 1913
no one shall be employed as a clerk
who has reached the age of 20 years.
This looks like a harsh and cruel
measure, but investigation Of the de-
partment has revealed large number
Of superannuated clerks who are really
a detriment to the service, but who are
drawing good salaries.
There is such a decided opposition
to the establishment of a civil pension
list that 1t would be useless to attempt
to put such a proposition through con-
gress. This is realized by the leaders.
and they have substituted the other
scheme OF reducing the pay of old
clerks and cutting them on aftas
reaching 40 years of age. They have
fixed the year 1913 in order to give the
clerks who are approaching 20 or who
have exceeded that age chance to
make some provision for the time when
they will be separated from the gov
eminent service.
This effort to get better service from
the clerks and to eliminate those who
are useless has aroused an intense feel
ing among the $4,000 government em-
ployes in this city. The local papers
are filled with letters giving instances
where men over 70 are the most EN-
eient employees of the government
They also call attention to the fact
that the effective men in the senate

mont are those who have passed. the

but they will never see one of these
employees interfere with the smokers.
The fact is this rule at the capitol is a
dead letter. 1t is one of the relics Of
A great reform worked by the late
Speaker Reed in the fifty=fourth con-
gress when he drove out of the capitol
corridors apple women, curio sellers
and newspaper stands. He also had
rule adopted that smoking must be
prohibited in the corridors and in the
elevators, and for some years this rule
was religiously kept. In latter times,
however, it has passed into innocuous
desuetude.
Sometimes a new employee takes
these instructions literally, but he usu-
ally discovers that he is expected to
wink at the smoking. The other day a
doorkeeper, who had just been put on,
noticed a nice looking old gentleman
marching through the corridor putting

and members of the senate to be Grim
inals who ought to be behind the bars.
The president has already established
beyond all question that he is the
sworn enemy of the CRATER, but he has
no patience with the writer's and mag
azines that would give the impression
that every other man in the public
service is a CRATER. He regards the
lndiscrimtnate SANDER of public serv-
ants as nothing less than a crime, and
recently declared that men who would
deliberately misrepresent other men
and attack public officials without the
warrant of facts were no better than
criminals.
IF l had to choose between a thief
and liar" he said recently, Il believe
would choose the thief, for you would
know where to find him, but you don't
know where to locate the liar and the

in the habit of comparing the writers
of anonymous and unfounded attacks
upon the senate and other government
bodies to the character in Bunyan's
Pilgrims Progress who welded the
muck rake. They gather all the dirt
and filth and can see none of the good
that surrounds. They delight in be-
smirching characters and writing SEN
sational stories in order to sell their
papers and magazines. This class of
writers, the president declares, is do
ing more harm to the cause of eradi-
eating graft from public life than any
other force.

CALLED UPON FOR AS

CHARLESTON, Oct. SIN order
10 preserve the good name Of ou-
State, / will order troops to Plckens
to protect the Syrian leper and the
health authorities, II necessary"
The above statement was made by
Governor Dawson late Sunday night.
Up to this time the situation has moi
become critical enough to justify that
cotton. Governor Dawson has receiy'
ed no further message from the au-
thorities at Plckens, and while fear
of mob violence is apparently over an
outbreak is possible at any time, as
he people of that section are worked
up to a frenzy over the presence OF
the unfortunate man.
DR.. Cunningham notified the govern.
or that to prevent personal violence
the leper must be fernossd at once.
Governor Dawson stated that the sur.
geon general Of the marine depart
ment Of the United States government
1T Washington was further arranging
Tor the deportation of the leper t.
Syria. A steamship company has al
ready agreed to remove the unfortrl-
nate man, A sufficient sum has been
raised for that purpose, by the friends
of the lepes and the State authorities.
Dr. Cunningham, who represents
the State board of health, and has
complete charge of the leper feared
that he as well as the Syrian would
lie the object Of the frenzy of the
worked.up populace. AS far as could
be learned everything was quiet last
night. The people have been quieted
to some extent by the promises of the
State authorities to remove the leper
at once.
