SAY THEY CANNOT GET
DESERVED PROMOTIONS
Treasury Counters Complain Of the
Operation of Civil Service Com
mission Rules.

Twelve counters Of the registers
Office. Treasury Department, complain
Of what they declare to be unfair
treatment in the recent estimates sent
to Congress for the increase of the
salaries Of Treasury Department en-
ployes
These twelve women, who receive a
salary Of $3.50 a year each. assert that
they are Disseminated against. in that
employees OF another division. who,
they say. do similar work, receive a
salary OF from $1,000 to $500 a year.
The women Of the registers Office
say that this condition is brought
abou. by a rule Of the civil service
commission which does not allow them
to receive an increase Of salary.
One of the clerks explained that she
had been recommended three times for
promotion. but that the recommenda-
ton had always been ignored. She ex-
planned that the employees of the divi-
sion in which she is employed are eli
gible, as OF class B, for promot ion to
class D clerkship, but that none OF
them have been able to get the pro-,
motion, because Of what they declare
to be discrimination through the ruling
Of the civil service commission.
1t is also stated by these clerks that
they have been assured by their chief
that their work is as satisfactory as
that Of the employees Of the other divi-
sion and that they ought to receive
the increase.

He said that when Mrs. Eddy began
her teachings she felt the Christian
Church was failing to realize the prac-
teal value and usefulness of the power
which the Master gave to the disciples.
AS to the death of the founder he
said: Christian Science will in no way
be affected by the death of Mrs. Eddy.
Her death will not affect the future
of Christian Science any more than the
passing Of Plato affected his philos-

American Phosphate Deposits
from the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
A recent report of the geological survey
shows that in the northwest country Of
Idaho. Wyoming and Utah the United
States possesses probably the largest and
richest phosphate deposits in the world.
From surveys recently cast up In totals
these deposits show evidence Of 267 COO 900
tons of high grade phosphate rock, while
the chances are that millions more tons
may be added to this total before the pay
rock is exhausted. These deposits show
the rock in pebble formation, closely
cemented in masses and containing some
calcite. These round particles vary from
a microscopic size to pebbles half an
inch In diameter. In color the phos.
phate rock ranges from q gray TO q Jet
black. the black probably due to carboni-
ferrous matter All public lands suspected
of containing valuable deposits Of phos-

PARIS. December 2, 1910
A man named Bleriot was arrested in
a restaurant here the other night fol-
having supped without possessing the
money to pay his bill.
He was taken to the police station
and while he was being searched one OF
the policemen noticed that he had a
wound on his temple. Bleriot said tina,
he had fallen, and he refused to be taken
to a hospital. The police. however, put
him on a stretcher and took him to the
Lariboisiere Hospital.
The doctor who examined him was
amazed. This man has bullet in his
head" he said. Bleriot then confessed
that he had attempted to take his life
before going out to supper. but as he
still remained alive. and was also
hungry, he thought that he had merely
grazed his temple. Half an hour later
the man became delirtous, and he died

He says the volume Of business Of that

The free-trade tories accused the protec-
