WILLIE BAND.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. eff
|Dr. osler were to come to Washing
ton now he would be received at the
ofice Of Chairman Tawney Of tae
House Committee on Appropriations
with more than ordinary warmth.
The chairman Is wrestling with the
question Of what to do with the old
men and women who hold places in
the classified service. There are hun
dreds of them.
Some time before the House adj
journed for the holidays Tawney Of.
Tered a resolution asking the heads Of
the executive departments about the
superannuates employed under them,
No report has yet ben received, but
from what Tawney has learned he
has come to the conclusion that If the
establishment Of a civil pension list
by law is to be avoided the tenure Of
clerks must be limited. There is
practically a civil pension list now, as
old CLERKS who cannot do a days work
I'm a week are carried on the rolls,
usually at salaries of $500, next to
the lowest. salary that is paid by the
government to clerks.
Before the end of the session Taw.
ney will offer a bill Of some kind limit
ittng the time a clerk may hold office.
In that way he hopes to inculcate
habits Of thrlf-something clerks
cannot now have, because Washing
tontans who have things to sell have
arranged prices SO that no clerk can
save anything and thus prepare for
the day when he cannot get a reap
pointment.
William Orlando Smith, Representa-
tive from the Punzsutawney district,
and Jim Tawuey of Minnesota,
Chairman Of the Committee on Ap-
preparations, have discovered a bond
or friendship stronger than that ere,
lated by the fact that they are both
members of the House. They discoy-
erred It while sitting at lunch a few
days ago.
"Where did you come from in
Pennsylvania" asked Smith, looking
at Tawney with his eyes half closed.
"The same place that you once hon
ored with your presence" said Tsw,
ney.
"well, III be dInged! Are you the
Jim Tawney that used to play in the
ReynoldsvIlle band?"
THAT'S me" said Tawney.
Then Smith maryeled that his Min
nesota friend should have known the
fact SO long without mentioning It.

NO FRIENDS TO MEET HER
Woman From Russia Called At Pc
 lice Station For Assistance.

Superintendent Beach of the po- lice department was at his desk this morning when Officer Kiersted walk ed into the office accompanied by a young woman who had just come over from her home in Russia. She had card on which was marked the name of her brother, but 1t was diff ficult to make out the name of the street and as consequence 1t was hard to do anything for her. She wept bitterly, but the superintend- ent assured her that she was all right whether she found her brother or not, and whether she understood him or not she cheered up and soon look ed radiant and happy. She couldn't speak a word of English, but one of her countrymen was secured and af- ter talking things over 1t was decided to send her to 210 Bishop street. where family from her part of Russia resides. An officer accom- panied her to the house and when they learned the girls plight they took her in and made her feel quite at home. thereby showing that blood Is thicker than water and that hu- man nature is much the same the world over. She is about twenty years of age and quite bright appearing. After a few days Miss Bodak will be down town and you wouldn't know her from the rest of the girls. After all a police station is useful thing in a community, although at times a fellow wishes that there wasn't a policeman or lookup within "a thousand miles of him.

 Two Days Late

Boston, Sept 12.-The steamer Admiral Schley of the United Fruit company which arrived to-day two days overdue from Jamaician ports underwent perilous experience in West India hurricane near the Ba- hama islands and was damaged in voriops parts. All the ships venti- lators were carried away, the after house was crushed in, the dead lights were smashed and the upper decks started. Minor damage also was inflicted by the heavy seas which the steamer encountered.
 The vessel passed through the hur- ricane and for more than twenty-four hours afterwards battled to get out of the storm zone. When the wealth CT began to moderate she was many miles out of her course, but her hull was tight and all of the twenty-five passengers whom she carried were safe.
 The Schley left Port Morant Sep tember 4 and few hours later ran into southeast gale which con- tinued for two days. Then the wind veered to southwest and increased rapidly to hurricane force and on Friday, the seventh, the full fury of the disturbance was felt. A ponder ous wave which broke over the steamers superstructure, smashing all the starboard ventilators and crushed in the dead lights, flooding the saloons and some of the state rooms. The Admiral Schley hove to ease her at p. m. Friday the 4cniey passed into the center of the storm and for a time the sea was comparatively quiet. Then she en- tered the storm zone again with ter rifle wind and sea. The steamer was run to the southward and eastward. in an effort to escape the hurricane until Sunday when the storm moder- ated. At midnight the eighth giant wave which rolled over the side stove in the afterhouse.

CITY NEWS

Captain Ramon attended the po- lice convenaion in New Haven to- day.
 Frank Lounsbury, of Prospect, formerly a well-known resident of this city. was calling upon friends here to-day.
 The delegates chosen to elect de- legates to the democratic town and county conventions will meet to- morrow night.
 Theodore F.. the two-weeks-old child of MT and Mrs Theodore w. Plume, of Plaza avenue, died last night. The interment will be in Che shire.
 The members of the republican town committee met last night in the office of John P. Kellogg, but ad- journed without transacting any business of importance.
 Richard Lynch. an employe of the street department, was knocked down and trampled upon on East Main street yesterday afternoon by horse that ran away from Frank E. Brownell, of Plainville. Dr Nc Donald put five stitches in the in- jured mans head.
 The board of public works held no meeting last night. but Engineer Cairns and Assistant City Clerk Law Tor were present and received bids for paving South Elm street. from Pond to Clay street: Clay street. from South Main to easterly line of school prop erty; North Willow, northerly, which will be acted upon at next meeting.
 It is understood that the republi- can nominees for representatives will be John P. Elton and William J. Pape. The democrats are talking of Ambrose H. Wells and John Mori- arty With these men or others that are under consideration there is no reason why the democrats shouldn't knock the ex-mayor and the newspaper man sky high.
 There was quite a discussion in the probate court this morning last ing from 10 o'clock to almost noon as to the best means of disposing of the estate of the late Anna Jackson who lived on East Main street. The estate has been appraised at s6.50O and Michael H. Johnson. one of the heirs, made an application to have it sold. It was at the hearing on this application the diversity of opinion was expressed as to whether 1t would be better to sell the estate at private or public sale. The matter was finally adjourned to November 14 and meanwhile. if the property can be disposed of to advantage by that time, 1t will be done.

 BY RECLAMATION No Opposition to the Norwich Man at To-Day's Democratic Convention
 in Hartford nEY Fnp JIEIITENANT C0V
NEY FOR LIEUTENANT GOV.
Ex-Governor Waller Presided and the Business Was Transacted
 Quickly and Harmoniously.

Hartford, Sept 12.-The delegates gathered slowly for the convention, because the committee on resolutions was late in adopting the draft of the platform prepared by the sub-com- mittee. It was announced by author ity that Mayor Thayer would not be present at the convention, and would make his acceptance speech to the committee of notification which would wait upon him in the near future. It was further stated that MT Thayer is not i'll, nor Is he suf- fering from nervous prostration. One of the other interesting items of gos- sip was to the effect that the new state central committee would in vite MT Walsh to again serve as chairman. In event of his declina- tion to serve Mir Thayer would be asked to select a chairman, follow ing the precedent of 1900 when Mir Bronson was nominated for governor and Charles F. Thayer, who was not on the committee, was elected chair man. Before the convention as- sembled E. g. Roberts of North Ca- naan, who was endorsed for state treasurer by the Litchf1eld county caucus, withdrew in favor of MT Ba- ker of Ashford.
 It was 1O:20 when Temporary Chairman Thoms brought down the carpenters hammer used for a gavel, calling the delegates to order. Ex- Senator William Kennedy presented the report of the committee on cre- dentials. When Secretary Thomas announced that ex-Govcrnor Waller would be the permanent chairman the convention broke into cheers. and when introduced the enthusiasm broke out again,
 MI Waller said he had come here content to be in the rear rank of the party, and the compliment paid to him was source of great gratifica- ton. He said he believed in the old democratic Jeffersonian principles of ''squal rights to all. special privileges to none" (checrs).
 "I hope the time will come when that principle will prevail. Old as l am and young as l look hope to live to see those principles triumphant.
