NOT A GENERAL
SALARY RAISE

Treasurer Campbell. referring to the
remarks of Senator Brown on the
raising of salaries of heads of depart
ments, said last night:
There is in fact no raise in salaries
of department heads from the former
standard.
When Governor Carter introduced
his policy of retrenchment nearly four
years ago he reduced the salaries of
heads of departments from 1915 to $500
a month. AT next session of the Legis-
lature he put these salaries in again
at $500. They We're always at that
figure after the original cut so far as
the regular schedule was concerned.
1.-THE reason for the increases in some
salaries this session is that the Leg
islature two years ago cut some depart
ment heads down to $3.50 and left the
others as before. In accordance with
his recommendations, the Governor has
merely restored the salaries so reduced
to the $500 established by the original
cut

Rea! Estate Dept.
Government
Wash House

The Superintendent of Public Works
reports that the interior of the wash
room is regularly scrubbed out, but in
spite of this, it is almost impossible to
keep the buildings in a thoroughly SAM
tary condition due to method of wash
ing clothes, adopted by the Chinese;
previous to being put into boiler,
each garment, after being soaped, IS
twisted into shape similar to that OF a
rope, then swung in the air and thrust
against a table top, which operation
results in suds and filth being deposited
about the walls and ceilings, leaving
the several apartments in very I'M
Clearly condition.
1t will be seen from this that the
person who employs Chinese to do their
washing away from home run grave
danger of contracting disease. The con
ditions at the Government wash houses
are evidently bad. At the Hartman
Steam Laundry the cement floors are
as sanitary as can be made and there
is no sign of filth anywhere in the build
ing. An inspection of the premises and
the method of washing is invited.

A MISFIT STRIKE.

Newsletter: Down in Sydney, n. s.
w, union sailors from the Oceanic
Steamship Company boat Sonoma
have been having taste of the law.
They arrived in Sydney from San
Francisco in January and went on
strike 1t WASH It violent strike, such
as union sailors indulge in here, but it
delayed the boat until non-union
crew could be secured Then came the
penalty. Delaying boat S departure
IS against the law in Sydney, and the
men We're arrested. They got thirty
days each at hard labor Iniunctions,
appeals, habeas corpus, did not help
them. The courts there are conducted
merely for the purpose of dispensing
justice, as these sailors found to their
sorrow. Now they are ont of Jail and
are clamoring for the American consul
and the Sailors Union to help them.
Next time these tars strike, it win be
at home, where, without any fear of
punishment, they may not only delay
ships, but crack heads.

have sense of relief IL he were assured
that the opals were hopelessy lost The
punch and the cigarettes were served and
Barnes was as far away as ever settled
detection came over Potter and he sat
there, veritable deaths head at the feast.
Winchell and Hazard were the life of the
company. They exchanged "reminiscences,
told stories and kept the table in a roar.
Presently Hazard walked over to Potter
and whispered
See here, old man, it's about time to
spring your surprise with the opals; there's
such a thing as straining curiosity to the
breaking point. Don't wait too long"
The host groaned-actually and really
groaned-and looked at the speaker with
the air of man who had lost everything
in the world. Hazard. taking the groan
and the look for mimicry, burst into a roar
of laughter and declared Potter to be the
funniest fellow he had ever met The host
merely leaned back in his chair with
look of sad resignation on his face. That
made the members scream all the louder.
Potter looked at his watch. 1t was 8
o'clock. He concluded definitely that
Barnes had failed him. The door OF the
kitchen opened and the colored walters
f1led in with the dessert. That indeed was
the last straw to break the back of pa
thence. The dinner over and the members
deprived of the much Wanted souvenirs.
Potter was hot with anger and mortifica-
ton. Why had he dabbled with opals at
all? Why had he gone to the chief in
spector of customs? No answer came to
the unspoken queries, and he gazed down
the table and mechanically watched the
walters as they brushed of the cloth into
the little crumb pans before placing the
sweets before the guests.
The caterer, Augustine Smith, pale and
frigid and correct, as head waiter should
be, stood at one end of the room and ST.
lently directed his men with his command
ing eyes They moved about the room with
Doiseless steps and in another moment an
ice cream glace had been placed before each
member OF the club. The candied covering,
ball shaped. was in two parts. pressed to-
gether so as to hold the cream In place.
Potter took a spoon, and, idly pressing it in
the crevice. pushed the thing apart. The
shell separated and half OF 1t fell on either
side, and there on the plate in all OF its
solitary glory, lay beautiful opal. The
other guests. noting the action OF the host,
quickly followed his example. and almost in
the twinkling of an eye the electric lights
were DETECTING the iTidescent rays OF thir-
teen dazzling opals. There were shouts of
approval, followed by hearty hand clappng
on the part OF the delighted members They
had been deprived of their ice cream but
they had a genuine surprise in its place.
Potter seemed stunned. He looked up and
saw the smooth shaver face of the cater
whittier than ever. He looked beyond him,
and there in the doorway stood the chief
inspector OF customs, smiling and aanked
on either side by Clancy and Forward.
Nothing would do but that Barnes and his
