time the auditors made their report
to the council. These figures, while
only approximations, can be easily YER

they are based on statistics on file
there and not on conjecture.
orgie of Special Auditors.
The special auditors pull is becom-
ing more and more fragrant every day.
These men started to work February
Is, 1907, and have drawn $4,000 from
the city in salaries. Their last bill
was for the period from January ! to
10, and amounted to $780, For fear
that they might be compelled to let
go of their sinecure they have avoid
ed presenting a bill since that time,
and probably win not until their work
is completed, which may be about
June l. Then the bill will be enormous
and the city must pay. it, as the coun-
Gil agreed to pay the men by the day
until they were discharged.
One of the most significant things
concerning their auditing of the citys
books is that they have seldom en-
plOyed an adding machine. All columns
have been added in the good old way
and pains have been taken TO have
the columns run over two or three

adding machine had been used to any
extent much of this labor could have
been avoided. Recently they have pur-
chased one of these machines and have
used the machine in the auditors and
treasurer's office, but this has not been
their general practice.
While manipulating a machine in the
auditors office yesterday. two of the
employees of the company were needed.
One read off the figures and the other
punched the machine. These men are
drawing $40 a day each from the city
and spent most of their time doing
what any SO a day clerk could do alone.
If a man works for this company at
the adding machine for two days at
eight hours each it is understood the
city is charged for twenty-four hours
work, time and half. This applies
to the man who is reading as well
as to the operator.
Big Margin of Velvet.
There is nothing definite about the
time when the auditors will quit work.
Mayor Bransford expected them to quit
March l. but there has been no indi
cation of any letup in their activities
and although no results have been no
ticed as a result OF their work they
are still alleged TO be working.
Under the contract with the audi
tors entered into by the city it is
agreed that they shall receive SO day
for all assistants employed by them.
These assistants number at present
five. and for each man the company
draws SO a day. The assistants are
paid from SO TO SIPS a month. and
no more. Most of them draw $50 and
500. The difference between their sal
aries and the amount the city pays the
company for their services goes int
the pockets of the concern.

Added to the already long list of
peers who have found their aff1nities

SO the report goes, are about to bestow
their titles and their fortunes upon
women who act for living.
And with each succeeding report Of
this character a shudder passes
through the ranks OF British society.
It is not a shudder ofahorror because
more actresses are destined to invade
the ranks Of the smart set-for the
profession has standing In England
such as it has in no other country;
but it is shudder of apprehension.
It; means, so British students of social
matters declare. that conditions
among the upper class in the empire
must change, or the percentage Of ar
istocratic spinsters will increase with
the years.
Why do British nobIsmen persist in
marrying women Of the stage?
Why do they ignore the women Of
their own rank, some of whom might
bring them ample fortunes, and marry
actresses who in many cases possess
neither family nor riches?
The answer is apparent to the most
casual observer of British social con-
ditions.

Railroads to Cross Andes.


The prophets predict that ere many
years have passed there will be at
least three railroads across the Andes,
one Of them transcontinenta1, the 9TH
ers connecting with steamers on the
Amazon or it's tributaries. The line
which now runs from Valparaiso to
Juncal is to be extended through a
long tunnel, which in five or ten years
will be finished, and it will connect
with an Argentine road at Mendoza.
The remarkable Central Peruvian
road, which rises 5000 feet in SO miles
from its terminus and crosses the east
ern range at an elevation of 1865
feet, will in no great time be ready to
carry passengers to the UcayaH river,
thence there is an 800-mile journey
ere the traveller reaches the head of
navigation for ocean going vessels.
And that place is 1000 miles from the
Atlantic. Another road farther to the
north will greatly shorten the Jour.
ney.

HAD NOT GUMPTIONf
GOOD REASON WHY RAlLROADER
WAS STILL BRAKEMAN. !
Incident Noted by Chicago Writer
Told the Whole story-No Ad-
vancement Possible for
Such Man.

wondered why it was that young
man was brakeman on a passenger
train, writes Hollis w. Field in the
Chicago Tribune.
It was up in Wisconsin,, and for
miles through the dust of the roadbed
and the storm of cinders from the
locomotive I had sat in the smoker,
smoked and smoking-some
Having no one to talk to, and-be-
cause of the dust and the cinders-un-
able to have talked anyhow, passed
the time wondering at that brakeman.
He was a handsome, well built fellow,
rs years old, neat, attentive to the
calling of the numerous stations, quick
at alighting on the depot platforms,
friendly with scores of station loun-
gers, and yet alert in passing on the
conductors starting signal to the en-
gineer.
Altogether it seemed an outrage that
such a young man should be passen-
ger brakeman on a branch line, a job
that had no beginning and no end
worth the while. But not till we
reached the end of the line did I dis
cover why this young man was pas
senger brakeman.
Long before we pulled into the ter
minal station the news agent had
stripped himself of his livery, emptied
his fruit baskets, packed his papers
and periodicals, busted and brushed
himself for the streets. In one of
the brackets at the far end of the car
two of the news agents small baskets,
empty, rested squarely and firmly
against the motion of the trains, one
"nested" within the other.
The train still was bowling on when
the brakeman began to strip himself
Of his official blue coat and vest and
visored cap. We were bowling still
when he stepped to the car bracket
for the purpose of depositing coat,
vest and cap in the same bracket
which contained the 'nested" baskets.
First, the brakeman took out the
baskets, spread his coat neatly in the
bottom Of the bracket, laid his vest
over it, topped the two with his cap,
and set the nestled baskets back on
top, but bottom side down. And the
baskets toppled to the floor, naturally.
He preserved his temper and set
them back-and down they came
again.
Something was wrong. He decided
is was ehe carp: He tucked The cap sifa--
der his coat, and set the packets back
upon the, coat and vest. But before
he could get into his street vest,
down came the baskets.
He was mad, I think. I think he
swore. He got into his coat before
he picked up the baskets, brushed him
self, looked into a mirror-and then
did that which four grains of COM
mon sense would have prompted in the
beginning: "a - ...-.
He took his clothes out of the brack-
ct and set the "nested" fiat baskets
back into place. Then he spread his
coat in the bottom of the top basket,
laid his vest smoothly upon the coat,
and far over set his cap aslant from
it's visor, and everything was there to
stay until the COWS came home.
Why he didn't do that in the be-
ginning is why he was brakeman on
jerkwater passenger train.
