HIS PAY SMALL, YET
HE IS. LOAN SHARK"
Colored Employe Lent Out
Part of His Forty-Dollar
Salary.

At the Bureau of Printing and En-
craving, where Director Ralph has been
smoking out the loan sharks" recently,
there's a colored employe whose finan-
clal operations have delivered a solar
pleXus blow to some of the talk about
the high cost Of living. Mr.. Ralph's in
quiry develops that this man, who re-
ceives only $40 per month. has saved
enough money to go into the 'loan
shark" business at the Bureau.
The $40 a month man has been lend
ing-at 10 per cent a month-to the fel-
lows who receive salaries five times in
excess of his own.
It's a great commentary upon the fact
that some fellows can save something
out of almost nothing. If the $40 man
had a little wider field, perhaps he
would be the colored Russell Sage of
the Bureau.
The case of the $40 man has gone to
the Secretary of the Treasury, along
with half dozen others, and the head
of the department VIII finally pass upon
the punishment of those who have been
lending money at usurious rates at the
big engraving plant.
The investigation made by Mr.. Ralph
grew out of the Waple disclosures.
Waple declared that he had become so
in debt to loan sharks that he had to
resort to forgery TO get free from their
clutches. 1t was found that no less
than a dozen sharks" are employees

Boston Man Says They
Built His Ships to Fit Only
Their Own Piers.

In a complaint replete with pen and
ink sketches intended as illustrations,
a Boston coal company today filed a
$51196 damage claim with the Inter
state Commerce Commission against
five Southern railroads.
The complaint charged that after
spending 100000 for four steamships
constructed along lines which made 1t
unnecessary for railroads to participate
in their loading or unloading, the rail-
roads insisted on rendering their serV-
ices, and then exacted payment at Il
rate OF from cents to A cents a ton.
1t was declared to be impossible to
escape either the services or the extra
charges, because II was necessary for
the coal company's ships to dock at
wharves owned by the defendant rail-

How a Cleric Shocked
Actors, Told in Munsey's

Il am reminded of an incident that
came under my observation in London
last summer" says Matthew White, jr.,
in Munsey's Magazine, discussing the
second centenary of the passing Of
actors from vagabondage into social re-
spectability. 1T took place at the an
nual meeting of a semi-charitable or
ganizaion that provides club-room for
minor actresses, the affair being under
the patronage of nobility and the lead
ing members of the profession. The
gathering was held at the St James
Theater, through the courtesy OF George
and a capital address. full of pungent
humor, was made by Miss Compton, the
talented wife of r. c. Carton.
Owing to the court mourning an
Anglican bishop, who was down for
some remarks, could not be present, and

brought in to take his place. 1t was
evidently this gentleman's first appear

experience went to his head. and he
did not realize what he was saying or
possibly, his faux pas was merely due
to his anxiety to show his fraternal
feeling toward the player-folk What-
