GARFIELD EFFECTS SAVING.
AbOIishes Custom of Making Afii-
davit 10 Expense Account.

AbOIishes Custom of Making Aft
davit 10 Expense Account.
BY the signing of an order making It
no longer necessary for employees Of the
Interior Department to have their sig
natures TO expense accounts acknowl-
edged before notary public or other
official empowered TO administer oaths,
Secretary GARFIELD has effected an an
nuaI saving of several thousand dollars
to the government.
The jurat fees of the employees alone
amount to several thousand dollars
each year, and the Inconvenience and
loss of time entailed upon them prob
ably costs the government as much
more.
The interests of the government will
not be jeopardized. as the penalties of
the Federal statutes Of fine and i'm
prisonment for presenting a false ac-
count will be equally applicable 10 the
new method.
The Seeretary's action is particularly
gratifying to the departmental officials.
as 1t places them in the honor class, -
which heretofore included only the off,
eiaIs of the army and navy. It is eX-
tTemeiy probable that this order viii
be followed by similar action in other
departments.

CANNOT suBLET SIDEWALKS.
Commissioner Says violations Are
TO Be Prosecuted.

While In accordance with the opinion Of
the corporation counsel the Commission
ers have the power under act Of July l..
1888. 20 permit the use of abutting side
walks for business purposes by property
owners or occupants. and that such use
Of Louisiana avenue and B street north
west, is authorized. subletting OF said
space viii in the future be prohibited.
Commissioner West yesterday recon-
mended that the occupancy of this space
be continued inasmuch as it has been
used for market purposes from time i'm
memorial, but that the corporation coUn-
sci be instructed 10 vigorously prosecute
all instance Of subletting of sidewalk
privileges.
With regard 10 the claim made by mer-
chants IN various parts Of the city that
unjust discrimination Is shown ia favor
OF occupants and owners OF stores on
Louisiana avenue and street, the Cor
poratfon Counsel states that in his opin-
ion, this apparent discrimination Is not
illegal for the situation, locality, and uses
of Louisiana avenue and & street are in
marked contrast with conditions and Local
tons elsewhere, and there seems to be
good reason for the distinction in the
regulations.

insane PATIENT
At LARGE

Attendants at the hospital for tie
insane during couple of days psst
have been securing the country With
in radius of twelve or fifteen III les
of the institution for some clue IN an
insane patient who escaped FROM the
corn field on the hospital ground about
the same time that the other patient
got away. W no was captured in his
stocking feet and and brought to this
city.
Two such cases in close succession
| are unusual and are attributed to the
inexperience of an attendant, who
was in charge of the patients during
the absence of the regular attendant.
1t is said that the patient now at large
asked permission to go to the spring
for drink. 1t was noticed that he
did not return and little investiga-
tion showed that he had vanished. His
success in thus far eluding pursuit
shows that he is not deficient in cum
ming even if he does not possess other
qualities that make him a dangerous
character to be at large
Escapes when they occur are matters
of much regret to the hospital author
tiles. who are simply doing the best
they can with such material as they
have to work with. In spite of care
and discipline incompetency and dis
regard of rules are apt to crop out
among attendants as we'll as among
any other class, although it is we'll
known that the attendants at the local
hospital as a class rank very high and
are conscientious and careful in the
performance of their duty.
AS a matter of fact it is mistaken
policy to trust an insane patient sin
gle moment when alone, no matter
what his record for good conduct may
be. This is we'll illustrated by an in
cident that has occurred in connection
with the local hospital during few
days past
Among the patients was one whose
conduct was perfectly exemplary and
he impressed all with the exception of
the experts as being thoroughly cured.
He played in the hospital orchestra
and as recently as the last commence =
ment, when the nurses graduated, he
attracted much attention by his cor
rect playing. His relatives, who fan
cied they understood the case and
were willing to assume all risks, with
in few days past managed to secure
his release
The result was that the very night
of his return home, the man became
violent and attempted to murder his
wife and daughter. He escaped in the
excitement and is now fugitive.

The general tendency OF parents to
day is 70 make professional men out
of their sens, although there is great
unsatisfed demand for first class me-
chanics, while the clerical and pro-
fessional ranks are overhowing with
men who have high ambitions but
are unable "a earn livelihood. 1t is
noteworthy fact thaT every time a
class graduates froEl High School. the
large percentage Of the male graduates
endeavor to become professional men.
Entering a profession, they often ind
the ranks overovowded and gradually
become clerks and subordinate employ
ees in capacities where there is no op~
portunity for them 10 better their
situation. The really independent,
happy man today is he who has mas
tered a good trade If he is Gn indus
trious worker ana isg willing to live
economically, ne will spend his de-
cliring days in independence free from
labor. The rule, on the other hand,
is that the professional man is never
done working till he dies. Especially
desirable these days are the trades OF
brickla7er, carpenter, mechanical en-
ginee1, machinist, iron or steel work
sr. Men in these trades car earn high
wages, and the hours are not long.
Telegraphy is another linz in which
the supply of men is not nearly e1ual
to the demand ana the wages are con-
stantly climbing higher. In our own
town the dearth OF good tradesmen
is very noticeable. We believe that
fifty or hundred carpenters could
readily find employment and there are
practically no apprentices. Boys,
learn trades and you went regret 1T.
Parents, induce your son to take some
of tie trades that will enable him to
in the long run greatly improve ms
condition in life.

MET death ON
SUNBURY Division

Edward f. Duke, of Northumb ber-
land, who is employed as signal ten
der in the DY yard, On the Sunbury
division of the Pennsylvania, was
struck and killed by the passenger
train which leaves South Danville at
1921. The accident occurred o short
distance this side of Sunbury.
The passenger train was rounding a
curve as it approached Duke. and he
did not hear it on account of freight
that was passing on the next track.
Although the unfortunate man was
not standing on the passenger track he
was so close that the engine struck
him, hurling him TO the ground with
a broken back. He died almost inst
antly.
The deceased was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Duke. of Fourth street.
Northum berland. He was aged about
20 years and had been employed since
a boy by the Pennsylvania. Several
years ago he was transferred to the DY
yard as a signal tender in charge of
the signals and interlocking switches.
His duties were to keep the lamps
filled with oil, the wicks trimmed. and
to see that all signals were lighted at
sundown. He also kept the interlock-
ing switches in repair. 1t was while
attending to these duties that he was
killed,
Besides his wife and parents several
brothers and sisters survive him. Both
he and his wife had been faithful
members of the Lutheran church.
Frank Duke,a brother of the deceas-
ed who was also employed by the
Pennsylvania railroad as a fireman,
was killed on the road near Millers-
burg. over year ago when the boil
er of his engine blew up, pinning him
beneath the wreckage and scalding
him to death
