Two Veteran Pitchers Have
Permanent Jobs With Pirates

Every now and then some ball
player works the public for a
whole lot of sympathy. and, what
is more valuable, great deal of
free advertising in which his faults
are CLOSED over and nothing but
his virtues are noticed by letting
out a yell on the way the club
owners treat their players. It's a
great stunt for the ball player,
and 1t is pulled every spring reg
ular1y.
The players say they haven't a
chance in the world; that the men
who pay their salaries keep con-
tributing every week so long as
they are good, but the minute they
slow. up their pay stops.
Sam Lever and Deacon" Phil
lippe are two old-timers who have
been on the pay roll of Barney
Dreyfuss, the gent who owns the
Pittsburg aggregation, for a good
many years, as base ball years are
counted, and they are due to stick
on thep ay roll as long as they care
to.

they have been with the Pirates
they have officiated in $50 games
and have won 339, which is some
nifty performing. Lever joined
the Pirates in 1897, but he didn't
get a trial in the big league until
1899, and he has been sticking
them over since. Philippe went
to Louisville from the old Western
league in 1899, and was taken to
Pittsburg by Dreyfuss when the
latter bought the Pirates.
Last year these two vets did
their share toward winning the
National league pennant for
Philippe officiated in
22 games and his percentage was
1877. Lever only worked two
games. but he took part
in 10, and his percentage was

straight games for the Pirates

Banks Have S-HOur Shifts
New York Sun }

Four big banks in the Wall street
district resemble the great gold mines
of the west in one striking feature.
They have three eight-hour shifts of
toilers and the work never stops. One
set takes up the work where the other
leaves Off
All night long Sundays and holidays

is busy opening thousands OF letters.
sorting and listing innumerable checks
and drafts that represent fabulous sum
of money. These they get ready for
the day force which is the only one
the public comes in contact with or
ever hears about. II this work was not
carried on incesantly the banks would
soon be overwhelme', with a mountain

Two shifts-the scouting force" as
they call themselves-work between :

night long.
average mail of enc OF these large
banks. Two thirds of i, comes in dur
ing the night These letters i'll the
case of one of the biggest of these
banks, contain from :s,.nS 10 1000
checks and drafts. At times these en-
closures represent as much as S3oGS.-
90. Rarely does the total fall below
S2D.,sSHp
The letters are opened as fast as they
are received, the checks are counted
and the totals verified with the foot
ings of the lists. The letters are then
stamped. which shows that they have
been proved in, as the banks call IL.
After tn at they are turned over TO the
clerks who send out the formal &C
acknowledgements of the remittances they
contain.
The various checks are assorted ac
cording the number of the books in
which they are to be entered and other
wise. The sight drafts are grouped &C

Each of these shifts Of night workers
at the banks consists Of from L: to 10
men. Some banks get a long with but
one extra set of clerks at night. These
come on duty at midnight and leave at
$ a. m. This plan of working all night
in order to keep up with the tremen-
dous amount of business that comes
in by mail was inaugurated about five
years ago. The first bank that tried 1t
found that so much valuable day time
was saved that one institution after
another took it up until now there are
four that have these three eight hour
shifts of clerks and several more who
work only part of the night.

A COMMON FAILING.

Young Sidis, aged eleven, who late
1y startled the rest of us by lecturing
before the Mathematical society on
Four Dimensional Bodies is sick and
has been removed from college. De-
tails are. as yet, lacking, but the per-
Torrance would lead one to believe
that he has been working too hard.
1t is unnecessary to follow the OBJ
vious trend of thought on his precocitv
and its result. The boy is doubtless
happier in the consideration of the
Fourth Dimension and it's fundamental
theorems which he is said to have dis
covered. Nor is it necessary to recite
the achievements of Pascal, Galois.
and other admirable Crichtons. Let
us leave young master Sidis with his
choice Of vector analysis and Ham
ilton's quaternions. Most of us are
content--and if we have children of
our own are quite sure that they sur
pass young Sidis in wisdom, resource
and sagacity even if they are still in
vulgar fractions.

Instead of being disturbed by his
defeat says a Washington correspond
cnt. the Speaker became reminiscent
and told a story which illustrates his
opinion that whenever you have the
votes you can carry out your ideas.
Back in the greenback days" he
said, there was man named En-
DRY Storrs, brilliant man and an able
man, in spite of some of his views.
He called on Chauncey Blair. a big
Chicago banker. and talked the finan-
cial situation over with him. He told
Blair what the country needed was
more money.
I'VE have plenty of money said
Blair. The banks are full of it. We
would welcome any borrower who
came to us for loan

'''All right said Mr.. Blair. I wish
there were three or four more borrow
ers like you. But what collateral can
you offer?'
'Collateral?' inquired Storrs: Co
lateral? Then it isn't more money
that We need: it's more collateral"

Of the various Investigations now in

A Lincoln Penny for Lee
Charleston News and Courier


She was only little girl and she did
not know much about history except
that she had been taught from the era
die to love Robert Z. Lee She had
heard too, of Lincoln, and in the books
she read there had been no attempt to
paint him as scoundrel or treacher-
Gus villain. She knew that one time
he had been president of the United
States and that somehow he and Lee
had been arayed against each other
She did not understand it-perhaps she
never will-but both men to her were
great, clean and spotless.
On Lees birthday at one of the pub
lie schools of this city the children
wished to contribute to a fund for a
monument TO him. They brought their
little savings and gave them cheer
fully, glad to be able to do even so
little in honor of their hero-the
South's hero. This little girl had only
a penny. and when it came time TO give
that she hesitated. She had not
thought Of it before. but suddenly it
occurred to her that she must beware
lest she commit an IMPROPERLY
Please. teacher she said, will it be
right for me to give Lincoln penny
We can not all give Lincoln pennies
that will count as this one did How
wondrously did that little gift express
the feeling of the great mass of the
Americans, The coin with the head of
the war president was TO be used to
assist in the erection of a monument
to the great Confederate leader in that
war. and who can doubt that Lincoln
and Lee. if they saw the deed, felt
that surely they had neither gone
through the strife in vain: Out of the
mouths of babes and sucklings' comes
the answer to the years of toll. This
single Lincoln penny was worth more
than any great sum of money because
Of the simplicity of the lesson it taught
and the magnanimity of spirit which it
manifested.
