Wages Due for Overtime in Navy Yard
During Hayes Administration.
BROOKLYN, Oct. l5.--After lapse
Of 20 years, during which time Uncle
Sam has owed them overtime money for
extra work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
former employees Of the yard and their
descendants are now in position where
their claims against the government will
most likely be paid in full. Lawyer Geo.
Hiram Mann, Of Is William street, Man
haitian, has successfully carried through
q test case, and now believes the large
number Of claims he has in charge will
be paid off.
1t appears that in 1877, under the ad-
ministration of President Rutherford B.
Hayes. the secretary of the navy, who
was then R. W. Thompson, issued an
official circular designating the day Of
labor for Navy Yard employees to be of
eight hours duration. In this circular
it is understood the stipulation was made
that those who desired might work for
40 hours daily and be paid proportion
ate increase in salary.
Those who worked overtime on the
strength Of the official circular from the
Navy Department have never been paid
their overtime claims. nor have their
heirs or descendants, many of the work
ers themselves having died.
Up to the passage Of the Tucker act a
few years ago there was no avenue open
through which the claimants could carry
their claims to the court of claims. The
Tucker act enables them now to petition
Congress, which in turn can refer the
matter to the court of claims.

WEEDS MAN OUT OF PRISON.

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. l5.-The
marriage of Miss Clara Cecilia Leach and
John w. Maher, which was solemnized
in st. Johns Church this morning, was
the elimination of romance out of the
ordinary. The bride is one of the veal
thiest women in Worcester. Mr.. Maher
is prominent connected with the club,
lodge and business life of the city.
About four years ago he was sent to
Jail because of accusations of misappro-
priation OF funds against him by the
senior member Of the firm with which
he was connected. He was released un,
der new state law after he had served
three and half years. The bride-to-be
refused to believe in his guilt, and when
he left prison arrangements for their
wedding were made.

Veteran Capitals, Dies at Santa Monica.

SANTA MONICA, CAL, Feb. Gap
tain Orlando Gray, a retired capitalist
and veteran of the civil war, died last
night at the home Of his daughter, Mrs.
Edith Nourse, 42S Second street. He
was 10 years old. Captain Gray, who
was native of Pennsylvania, had
lived In California twenty years, the
last six years being spent in Santa
Monica.
The above, copied from a California
paper, will be read with sorrow by
many relatives and friends of Mr. Gray
in this locality. He was one OF the
pioneers OF Jefferson county and had
large business interests here till few
years ago. The site of the Reynolds
vile Land and Improvement Company
was once owned by him, and valuable
timber tracts were not long ago dis
posed of and, so far AS known, all his
business interests were settled up in
this locality. Mr., Gray was man OF
fine physique and nature gave MIN rare
gifts of oratorical rowers and many can
recall his political speeches and bril-
liant repartee. He was adjutant in the
105th P. V. V. at its formation and
acted as recruiting officer at the be-
ginning and during the civil war. His
wife, who died four years ago last
Christmas, was Emeline Smith, daugh-
ter of V. H. P. and Rebecca Smith and
sister of Mrs. Juliana Reynolds and
Mrs. Clarissa DeLarme, deceased, and
j. S. Smith, of this place. Mr.. Gray is
survived by four daughters, one in New
York City, another in York, Pa, and
two in California. Orlando Gray, Jr.,
of our town, is his brothers son and his
namesake, and there are number of
his relatives in this locality.

A Resident Of Early Days.

EDITOR THE STAR
Il was with much interest | read an
account of the old people now living in
Reynoldsville, which appeared in THE
STAR some time ago. Thinking 1t
might be OF interest to many readers, L
would like to speak of an aged lady now
visiting In our midst. I refer to Mrs.
Phoebe Potter, half-sister OF o.
M. Rea and sister OF Mrs. Marian
Eve, who lives near Soldier. Mrs Pot
ter's father, Joshua Rea, moved to the
farm now owned and occupied by c. ID.
Rea and family in 1881, when Phoebe
was three months old. Here she lived
in a little log house in the hemlock
forests, where deer and bear we're plen-
tiful, until she was 10 years old. About
that time Aunt Phoebe taught term
of school In Reynoldsville, when there
we're only three houses there, those OF
Tom Reynolds, Jacob Shaffer and Clark
| LYONS. On either side we're the homes
Of John Fuller and Wood Reynolds.
Mrs. Potter did not again revisit the
old home for forty years. 1t was my
pleasure to entertain this dear old lady
during the past week, on this, her third
visit. 4.
Aunt Phoebe has spun the yarn and
knit over $4,000 worth Of mittens,
gloves, etc., this fall and winter. She
never had but one picture taken. but
intends having her picture taken before
leaving Reynoldsville for her home In
Forest county. MRS. G. Fl. REA.

A great hlnderance to the advance
ment of christianity in the world is the
inconsistency Of church members, and
Reynoldsville is no exception in this
respect to the world in general. There
are various ways OF inconsistency, but
we will only mention one. and that is
not paying honest debts. The man or
woman who will buy goods or other
things on credit and not pay for
same, even though they have to make
sacrifices to do 30, are not honest, and q
dishonest person cannot be consistent
christian. There may be cases when
sickness or some other misfortune over
takes person ana they cannot meet
their obligations, and the debt remains
unpaid, not because the person wilfully
refuses to pay the same, but because
they are unable. In such case per-
son cannot be called dishonest. But
when people ask merchant to accom-
modate them by trusting them for
kOOQo auu tuOu udho uO tlOTL 10 DdV
the debt, but get mad when the mer-
chant insists on getting what is justly
due him, and go to some other store to
deal, that is not honest. There are
church members who wear fine apparel
who do not pay their honest debts, and
apparently, are Indifferent about the
matter. 1t is no wonder that christian
men In business have their faith shaken,
and that non-professing christian bus
iness men are sceptical about chris
tianity, when they trust some church
members. 1t trys the faith of the best
of christian business men. Better a
crust Of bread and patched clothing
with reputation for honesty, than
to wear fine clothing and have the
luxuries Of life with a reputation of
being dishonest Abecsuse you buy and
pay not. Pay your honestdebts. >, --,sss
