SECRETARY FISHER
UPHOLDS CLERKS
Government, He Says, Should
Pay Better Salaries.

An increase in salary and a retirement
Plan, either by straight pension or some
scheme OF contributory insurance, were
advocated yesterday by Secretary Fisher,
of the Interior Department. He declared
it the duty of the government to make
some provision for its employees, espe-
cially in instances where they had spent
many years in its service.
For one reason or another" said Sec
are unable to make provision for the
rainy day. and it is little short of cruelty
to turn them out of office when they
reach an age where destitution must fol-
low the loss of their positions
In a private business concern a man
has the right to say off with their
heads when his employees become su-
perannuated or lose their efficiency in
other ways. The government, however,
need not take this course, and can at the
same time gradually rid itself of men
who have become too old TO be OF real
service.
THE pay of the men in government
service is woefully below what it should
be. This is not noticeable in the men
holding minor positions, as it is with
men employed in some big work which
demands the highest degree of capability
Il have not yet reached a decision as
to whether the straight pension or con-
tributory plan of retirement should be
introduced. This will work itself out in
time. 1t would seem that the conditions
Of the government make the contributOry
plan more advisable, but l am not def
nitely decided as to this"

PENSION DEFICIT
COMING NEXT YEAR
Small Balance for Police and
Fire Departments.

II is not believed that there will be a
deficiency in the pension fund for the
police and fire departments until the
first of next year. After paying bene-
ficiaries for the month OF October, there
will be a balance to the credit of the
fund of approximately $S,397, according
to a statement of AlOnzo Tweedale, Dis
trict auditor.
Taking into consideration the cash bal
anCe on account of the two funds, plus
the estimated collections for October %
and 30. total of S19.395.3S will be avail
able at the close of the month. Deduct
ing from this sum the estimated amount
for payment of rolls for September, there
will be a balance of $S.397.3S.
The question as to how long the fund
will last depends largely upon the Po-
lice Court fines. The auditor said yester-
day afternoon that the fines are usually
larger in summer than in winter. Last
month the fines were 5000 less than for
the preceding month. The sources of
revenue for the pension fund are the PO-
lice Court fines, the dog tag taxes, the
fund obtained from the sale of con-
demned property, and the assessments
and fines of policemen and firemen.

EXCURSION.

The popularity of the Norfolk and Wash
ington Lines special rate of $3.50 round
trip to Old Point Comfort and Norfolk
is attested by the large numbers OF
Washingtonans and visitors who are
taking advantage of the opportunity to
visit this section of tidewater Virginia.
This company has decided to continue
these rates at least during the fall. The
charm of the Old Dominion is at its
height during this season of the year,
the ride down the historic Potomac
River and Chesapeake Bay being one
long to be remembered. Weekend tick

POINT FOR AUTO OWNERS.
Intercepting Sewer Traps Are Not
Needed in Private Sheds.

Amendment to the plumbing regula-
tions was made by the Commissioners
yesterday, so that owners of automo-
biles who have their machines repair
ed in public garages. will not be required
to construct intercepting traps in con-
nection with storage sheds in the rear Of
their dwellings
For a long time there was trouble
in the public sewers because of gaso-
line, oils, and other resIduum which
created gases. Last January a reguIa-
tion was adopted requiring all garages
to be equipped with intercepting traps
But it was found that many of the pri-
vate garages in the rear Of dwelling
houses did not require the traps, be-
cause of the cleanly condition, so the
plumbing inspector recommended the
amendment which was adopted yester-
DAY.

A Strong Prescription.

Menelik, emperor of Abyssinia, often
dabbled in medicine. Some years ago
Nine. Stevenin, the wife of promi-
uent member of the French colony at
Adds Abeba. was laid up with fever.
Menelik inquired what treatment she
was undergoing and expressed disap-
proval when he learned that she was
being dosed with quinine. The fol
lowing day messenger called with
large pot of very rancid butter, accom-
panied by letter from one Of the EN-
peror's secretaries stating that his roy
al master hoped that madame would
take three glasses daily of the butter
sent which had been stored for two
years and would be found an infallible
remedy. The present was gratefully
acknowledged and promptly buried,
and when madame recovered Menelik
took to himself the credit of her cure.

The Atlas, London newspaper,
published on Jan. 10, 1880, the follow
ing paragraph under the head Of "In-
stantaneous Light" among the diff
ferent methods invented for obtaining
light instantaneously ought certainly
to be recorded that of Mr.. Walker,
chemist Stockton-on-Tees. He sup
plies the purchaser with prepared
matches, which are put into boxes, but
are not liable to change in the atmos-
phere, and also with piece of fine
glass paper folded in two. Even a
strong blow will not infame the
matches, because of the softness OF
the wood underneath. or does rubbing
upon wood or any common substance
produce any effect except that Of spoil
ing the match. But when one Is pinch

r. L. Stevenson, writing in 1893 to

touching pathos:

have done my work unfinchingly. l
have written in bed and written out OF
it, written in hemorrhages, written in

me, have won my wager and recover

Tailed Enqlishmen.

Natives Of southern Arabia believe
that Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
Of Europe clung to the conviction that
the Englishman's neither garments con-
cealed tail. So late rs the reign Of
Edward W.. according to Bale, ian
Englyshman cannot travayle In anoth-
er land by way Of marchandyse or
any other honest occupyinge. but 1t Is
most contumeliously thrown Into his
tethe that all Englyshmen have tails"
The belief probably arose from the
legend of the "Kentish Longtails.
The people of either Canterbury or
Strood (for the legend varies) nocked
mt Beckett as he rode by on an ass
and cut off the ass tail. Wherefore
they and their descendants were cursed
with tails thenceforth. At least so
said testers Of other countries, and the
slander eventually reacted upon Eng
land In general. Another version sub

The Gallant CGbman.

Nothing perhaps produces quite so
much wit from cabman as u sense of
being underpaid. which In most cases
means that he has been justly paid. A
lady who had been guilty of this kind
of justice experienced the usual sense
of discomfort when her driver straight
ened the palm into which she had just
dropped her shilling and looked at her
speechlessly. She was weakly about
to add another sixpence when the cab
by's sense of humor prevailed. He
transferred the shilling to his pocket

Cold as n Cure,

Cold of certain intensity produces
not only hunger. but. as II has been
proved, health as well. Raoul Pictet
the famous Swiss chemist, was max
ing experiments on degree of cold
considerably lower than any which
occurs naturally, and he found that
at temperatures between 40 and $50
below zero no covering of any kind
would keep cold out, or, more exactly
would keep warmth in. There Is moth
ing surprising about that. The sur
prise is in the result. NJ. Pictet Is a
gentleman who has suffered greatly
from indigestion. After an exposure
Of several minutes to the cold which
he had produced he experienced a SEN
sation of hunger which he has de-
scribed as ravenous. When he had
eaten he experienced none Of the tor
lures of his ailment. and when he had
alternately frozen and eaten three OF
four times he found himself entirely
cured.-London Telegraph.
