little Felix was found in the ruins.
Two other children were out of the

A Beginning for the Clerks.

No item in the whirl of Congress
sional news that marks the close of
the session has more interest for
Washington than this of yesterday:
Representative Giuett of Massachu-
sets, reported TO the House late yesteT-
day afternoon from the Committee on
Appropriations concurrent resolution
asking the heads OF departments To
transmit. with their estimates TO Con
gress for the fiscal year 1910 additional
estimates of what they think should be
paid the various grades that have been
defined and laid down by the Keep Com
mission.
The departments have Of late been
electrically charged with gossip as
to the gradings recommended by
the Keep Commission. 1t is well
known that those gradings depend
on the assumption that like classes
of work merit like pay. 1t is even
better known that today the de-
partments offer a condition of I'M
equal pay, of wasted pay. of IN
rewarded service, of general con
fusion of service and pay, which
no non-governmental business could
survive. The bureau without clerks
at adjoining desks doing precisely
the same kind of work at salaries
ranging from 81 200 to $500 is the
exception, not the rule.
\ reform of such magnitude is
hardly to be achieved, however, by
the heads of the departments alone.
They would probably find opposi-
ton from the very Congressman on
whom Mr.. Gillett relies for support.
But it is unlikely if this grading of
clerks is done, for Congress, even
Alphabetically, that either the leg
islature or the departments can
longer overlook the business neces-
sity for a readjustment. In other
words, if the calculation ordered by
the GiHett resolution is once made
and the situation is looked squarely
in the face, then Congress may con-
fdently be expected to put the re-
classification into effect.

CARNEGIE WAS GRATEFUL.

There was genuine sentiment back OF
Andrew Caruegie's most recent benefac-
ton, the granting of a pension Of 800
annually for life to John Earle, a we'll
known artist Of Pfttsburg. Pa Many
years ago, when Mr.. Carnegie was a
on the Pennsylvania
railroad, he and Mr.. Earle became &C
quainted, and Mr.. Earle was greatly
impressed with his personality. A GER
tain phrenologist described Mr. Car
negie as a remarkable character, and
predicted that he would do much for
art and science and the education and
uplifting of humanity. This inspired
Mr.. Earle 20 paint the portrait Of the
future great captain OF industry. After
completing the picture, he laid it aside
and forgot all about it for forty years
Recently, tn overhauling his art treas
ures, he discovered the portrait, and
sent 1t to Mr.. Carnegie. with HIS COM
pliments. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie
were greatly pleased with the gift. Mrs.
Carnegie had never before seen a picture
of her husband as he appeared at the
commencement of his career. Imme-
diately thereafter Mr.. Earle was notified
