FACING A PROBLEM.
Comment Upon Public Printer Still
ings' Recent Order.

The system recently adopted by Public
Printer Stillings of compelling proofreaders
and other employees of the government
printing office to pay for work that is
spoiled by reason of errors or other causes
has caused quite a stir among the workers
in the big print shop, especially the proof
readers. In discussing the matter last
evening one of the workers in the office
said:
Employees of the government printing Of
flee are face to face with a very serious
problem. viz, being charged and required
to pay for errors made in the performance
of their work. This entails a great hardship
on employees of the proofroom in particu-
lar.
Every proofreader realizes the import
ance of exercising the utmost care in read
ing, so that the product will come from the
press as free from error as possible, but.
Notwithstanding the most painstaking eff
fort the fallibil!ty of mankind is occasion
ally made painfully evident.
LAS every one is aware, an error In cold
type is about as glazing an object as can
be ina gined, and at first blush it would ap-
pear that it must be the result Of either ig
norance or carelessness, but when 1t IS re-
menbered that the proofreader, day after
day or night after night, IS continually
straining his eyes in search of errors of all
sorts-the Typographical error, errors in
syntaX and orthogaphy, errors of style and
that most damnable error. the use of a
good word in the wrong place-it is small
wonder that he occasionally slips up.
There is an immense volume of printing
turned out at the government printing Of
fee. the employees in al its branches as a
rule are efficient and realize the necessity
of doing their best. but mistakes are bound
to occur and should be charged to the cost
of public printing. If an employe is incom-
petent or habitual1y careless he has no
ground for complaint if he Is reduced or
discharged, but the system of fning for
errors tends to discord and nervousness and
TO increase rather than diminish the number
of errors"

NO TIDINGs OF KEMP.
Further Disclosures of Absconding
Clerks Wrongdoing.

No tidings from Arthur ]. Kemp the
fugitive chief clerk of the police depart
ment had. been received by Maj. Sylvester
or his officers up to late hour last night.
1t is said further investigation into his ac-
counts has resulted in startling disclosures
of his pecula tons.
1t has developed that Kemp failed to pay
a funeral bill of $144 in the case of Police
man Speer. The family got a portion of
the money, the chief clerk holding back
the amount Of the funeral bill He held it
back and out. 1t is reported that he also
held out $50 from another death assess
ment but so far has been learned he
took no government money
The latest thing reported involved an all
legged attempt on the part of Kemp to OBJ
tain 81 900 from an elderly widow who had
received the money from an insurance COM
pany after the death of her husband, only
short while ago. 1t Is reported that he
appeared at a local bank soon after the
widow reached there and that he wanted
to borrow the money from her, telling her
he could earn about $500 in a few days.
The widow had turned the money over to
the bank officials to be invested, however,
and he was unable to get it.
1t has also developed that Kemp alb
sOrbed money belonging to insane persons
and cash belonging to the estates of de-
ceased persons. 1t frequently happens that
strangers die in this city and their effects
are turned over to the police property
clerk Such is also the case with many
persons who go insane and are committed
to the asylum 1t is believed the money
from these sources taken by Kemp will
aggregate more than $1,000.
Inspector Boardman said last night that
he hoped he would hear something from
the descriptive cards in the near future.
Kemp, he said, certainly should be caught
and brought back here

STATEMENT DENIED.
Controversy Arises Over Nurses
Right of Burial in Arlington.

The published statement that Mrs. Libble
Porter "is entitled to credit for securing
for army nurses the right of burial in
Arlington was denied last evening by Miss
Won de Buren, Yer Planck, who is guest
at the Riggs House. Replying to this state
ment she wrote:
THE claim that Mrs. Libbie Porter is
entitled to this credit is great injustice
to the late Mrs. Susan Roosevelt Osterhout
Yer Planck, my mother. AS soon Repre-
sentative H. NJ. Bakers bill section 4SIS,
Revised Statutes of the United States as
amended by act of Congress and approved
March 3. 1897, became a law, Mrs. Yer
Planck applied to the Secretary of War for
ten lots, with space for the same number
to be held in reserve. This was strongly
opposed by several in the War Department.
When the request was granted the officials
wanted to give a section in the new part
of Arlington. My mother said:
Gentlemen we do not keep carriages
in 1861
The requisite space was then given in
the officers section, near the entrance to
the cemetery. Mrs. Porter got the number
of the lot from my mother and gave it to
Miss Kate Scott of the Army Nurses Asso-
citation. A protest was sent to the War
Department by the Association of Nurses,
and it was welcomed

Mr.. Hunt declared that no genuine Ameri-

American citizenship with the legitimate

have any apprehension that he will suffer

MORE PATRIOTISM WANTED.
Appropriate Celebration Of Glori-
Gus Fourth Desired.

With the view of giving important con-
sideration to the decadence of the Fourth
of July, so far as its proper celebration Is
concerned, Mr.. Harry a. Colman, president
of the United States Historical Society,"
stated last night that he would call a meet
ing of the organization in a few days. The
attention of President Colman was attract
ed to the lack of patriotism that is now
shown for the great American Independence
day and he said all associations of Amer
leans should give serious consideration to
the matter of properly celebrating the &C.
caSion.
There is danger" said a member of the
historical organization, "of all our patriotic
holidays degenerating into anything but
what they were originally intended for I'M
less such associations as ours take prompt
action in the premises. Look at Memorial
day, which was originally Sacredly dedi-
Gated to the heroes of the armies and navy
of the United States who gave up their
lives in defense of the flag and their coun-
try's honor Nowadays this day is largely
given up to field sports, excursions down
the river and worse-beerguzz picnics

it supplies a resting spell for government

years ago. with the inspiring airs of The
Star Spangled Banner and the shouts and
American cheers that were wont to greet
the orators of the day when they talked
stra light from-the-should Americanism.'
1t is President Colman's idea to have the
United States Historical Society take the
initiative in reviving interest in these holt
days in order that they may be celebrated
more generally and in the proper spirit. In
this he expects to be seconded by the men,

membership extending through many of

agreeable surprise to Father Stafford.
Beyond his journey to Atlantic City to
recuperate, after his long illness. Father
Stafford has made no further plans. More
than two years ago. when his strength was
giving away, a trip to Europe restored him
to health. His friends consider that his
many interests outside of church work,
added to his ecclesiastical duties, were
largely the cause of DR.. Staffords illness.

his work and economize his energies, 1t is
