Hitchcock
Clerks Eats
s Cent Meals
Post Master General Also Allows Them
z Cents Each for a Nights
Lodging.

Washington, D. c., Nov. ga dis
bursement on the basis IF s cents TO:
each meal and Z cents for each nights
lodging has been made by Post Master
General Hitchcock to the clerks in the
railway mail service.
"HoW's that for economy" exclaim-
ed railway mail clerk, whose position
would be worm less than 6 cents if
the Post Master General knew mis-
name.
"Out of the $3.50, oeO appropriated in
the current postofice bill for the travel
ing expenses of railway mail clerks, q
continued the angered man, ''that's- the
price Of my dinner!"
He held up nickel and a penny as
the mot seffective method he could de
wise Of showing his unlimited contempt
for Hitchcock and all his ways.
When this matter of appropriation
for travelling expenses of railway
clerks was debated on the floor Of the
House and in the committee rooms;
during the last session of Congress, tho
clerks modestly asked for a daily al
lowance Of one dollar, upon which to
eat and sleep. This amount was
economically" cut down by Cannon's
heutenants to go cents. But Hitch.
cock, having never forgiven these
same clerks for making demands not
first approved by himself, cuts the
daily allowance to 3 cents.
1t Is now charged that over 100000
of this appropriation has been used Up
in clerk hire" to figure out these {
and cent Expenditures. BY this
method it is thought that Hitchcock
is planning to show Congress, at the
coming session, that any such plan
entails too much expense, and thereby
secure the defeat of the measure.

A Mu1liic ipal
Stone Quarry
Shortening the Hours of Labor.
By Carl D. Thompson.

The Commissioner Of Public Works
lin Milwaukee has finally succeeded in
securing an option on site for q
municipal stone quarry.
The City of Milwaukee uses thous-
ands of cubic yards of crushed stone
each year in its various public works.
The present administration has al
ready greatly reduced the cost Of this
crushed stone by means Of greater
care in purchasing. The saving in
this respect has amounted to $4,000
Eper year.
But the administration is not salts
fed with this saving, realizing that if
the city. owned its own quarry, and in
addition its own sand pit, and street
construction machinery, it could still
further reduce the expense of construc-
ton in public works. Hence the effort
to secure a municipal quarry which
now seems to be assured.
The Superintendent of street con-
struction, Mr.. Mullen, has drawn care
full estimates upon the basis Of a
municipal quarry, sand pit, ETC.. in
which it appears that hereafter the
pavement that cost the city $3.50 per
yard to lay, will cost not much more
than $1.30.
There are in Milwaukee great
many bridge tenders employed by the
city on the numerous bridges that
span the rivers. Heretofore these men
had been on duty long, consecutive
hours, with short periods Of rest. The
administration realizing the need Of
Improvement, has revised their sche-
Idule of hours. Heretofore they were

DISCUSS
NEW DISCOVERY
Isolation of Single Ion of Flee
tricity ArOuses Great
Scientific Interest.

ST. LOUIS. May 25.-Electrical experts
attending the National Electric Light
association convention here, expressed
great surprise tonight regarding the
statement OF Professor Robert n. Mill
ken OF the University OF Chicago that he
had Isolated and studied single ion OF
electricity.
The standing of the professor is such,
however. that most Of them credit his
discovery.
S. Il. Doane OF Cleveland. an expert on
electricity. said:
II can't see that the discovery Of the
ion will have any effect on the use Of
electricity, II the ion is discovered, 1t
means a mathematical demonstration of
what electricity is. We cannot figure how
the stars transfuse their light upon tho
world. IL is the same with electricity"
l.. r Robinson OF Schenectady. n. Y.
head OF one OF the largest electrical con-
Germs in the world. says he is acquainted
with Professor Milikcn, and that II MILL
ken says he has discovered the lon he
believes him. He thinks however that
the discovery is OF scientific value only,
T. NJ. Lincoln OF Plttsburg said:
AN Ion Is presumably minute subdt-
vision OF an atom which carries mega
tive charge Of electricity. In my opinion
there Is no known instrument that can
supposed to be one one-t -thousandth of an
atom
"Quite remarkable, II true said Hen
ry J.. Dogerty OF New York. Though the
use OF electricity will not be affected, any
thing that gives us knowledge may help,
But l can't quite understand how it is
possible to isolate single ion"
