THE TRAIN DISPATCHER Is Really the One Who Never Ceases His Vig- flance—Something About His Duties and is Kesponsibilities-A Clear Head and Plenty of Nerve Essential to the Position. IXTY MILES AN HOUR! A mile a minute! WO These are suggestions that suggest to everybody s sudden roar of an iron monster, wild shriek of a piercing whistle, the dazing fiash of the engine's headlicht, the hot rush of airand the slowly ceasing thander of vibrat- ing rails. What else does it amggest? To the unreasonably timid it brings visions of the bor- rible crash and shock of colliding trains, the deafening reverberation of the last mad wild echoes that hover above the wrecked coaches on tho lonely road. To those who bave confi- dence in the eye that looks out beyond the glar- ing headlight, and in the hand that handles the after midnight and beginning to drowse when I heard one operator two ot three stations away calling up another in anothe- direction some stations away. I listened and received the in- formation that a train of cars had broken loose at the head of a steep incline and was going down toward the operator to whom the message was being sent. I realized the situation imme- diately. “I broke in on the operators and found out from the sender of the message when the cars had broken loose. i could calculate then just about where the cars were. I knew that the fast express was due at the foot of the in- cline in a few minutes too. I telegraphed to have the exprpwt flagged and then eat down to wait news. Pretty soon T'was called up ina Jerky, nervous way by the operator at the foot of the incline.” ‘Runaway stopped,” he sui, ‘eighty from the station. Express is Waiting.” When Iwent home that morning I felt pretty proud—for a train dispatcher.” Siege Written for The Evening Star. HOLIDAY GIFTS.

His Reflections Upon the Morality of States- men and the Citizens—A Visit to the White House—Claims for Government Clerkships and How Some Neglect Their Duty. ‘Written for The Evening Star. FTRERE ARE A NUMBER of old Washing- tonians living who nearly half » century ago were acquainted with the author of a smail volume entitled “The Mysteries of Washing- ton, by a Citizen of Ohio,” understood to be Caleb Atwater, and can recall the days, the in- cidents and the people of which he wrote. To many of the younger generation his descrip- tion of his journey from Columbus, Ohio, is interesting and the politician of today will be sarprised by his account of visite to the White House and the departments, while old Wash- ington families will recall numbers of those the District almost one whole yeat, yet during all that long period they had procured no office vet. They had kept boarders, for which they received only €13 a week for each boarder. They had been compelled, it seems, to hire a man at £10 a month to wait on the boarders, yet neither her husband nor her son-in-law had Teceived any office hg Hearing that two sec- retaries were to be nominated that day she modestly insisted on her husband's being a clerk under one of them. The President told her that he had nothing to do with such ap- pointmenta, which he left to the secretaries 10 make. It seems from the best information I could obtain that women belonging to this Dis- trict and parts of Maryland and Virginia near Washington come here constantly soliciting oftices for their sons, husbands and other rela- tives. That they have often succeeded is evi dent enough to the public injury and to the i jury of the public officers themselves.” A va: deal of personal inconvenience to. the Presi- dent would, he says, be avoided if the rales of Jefferson and Madison were adhered to. ‘These required ail applications to be in writing to the President or Secretary having the appointing powei Visits to Maj. Lewis, the second auditor, the President, Levi Woodbury, then a Senator from New Hampshire, are described, and he notes thatat the latter's rooms, one only, @ governor, refrained from laughing, and he gives as arenson that there were a number of members of Congress there and his notnination for some little office wax pending, and his fears were realized, for not long afterward his nomi- nation was rejected. AN EVENING WITH THE PRESIDENT. THE INDIAN SERVICE. Commissioner Morgan Talks About His Recent Tour of Inspection. HIS FAVORABLE IMPRESSIONS. He Finds but Little to Criticise in the Indian Schools, Though Partisan Politics Has Pre- vented Their Development—Noble Work of the Missionaries—Several Suggestions Made. 66FI\HE PRESENT STATUS of the Indian service is more favorable than I expected to find it,” is the comment of Gen. Morgan, the commissioner of Indian affairs, who has just returned from a tour of observation among | the Indian agencies and schools. During his j absence of ninety days he traveled some 8,000 miles, more than 1,000 of which was by amba- lance and carriage. He visited the reservations at Fort Hall, Idaho, Pyramid Lake, Nevada and pent ten days among the mission Indians and Yumas of Southern California, and traveled 600 miles in company with Gen.

One set have a dresser, scarf, cushion, handker- chief and glove cases Iined with pale pink satin or silk, with clover blossoms and their leaves cefully painted on them. Another may ve blue lining and apple blossoms, and a third lined with yellow with buttercups painted on. An old hyo box can be utilized for a band- some work box.

SOMETHING WORTH NOTING. All silk or linens for embroidery, whether wash colors or not, should be dipped in a dish of hot water into whlch a few drops af turpentine have which has always attended the sons and dangh- ters of sich good men and the total ruin which has followed and overwhelmed the children of wicked officers of the government teach the same lesson: of prudence, wisdom and virtue.” AGAINST GOVERNMENT CLERKSUIPS. He says it argues but poorly of an aristoc- racy in thig country to see in the offices as minor clerks the sons of highly respectable fathers, unteas it be in cases where a man with a family is reduced by misfortunes and losses. He expresses regret that the young men of this District early in life accept clerkships instead of setting out for themselves, whereby they can be more independent, with the pros- pect of rising “as respectable men, and useful | ‘ones, too.” He states that he had been told that it was not very uncommon for 100 such pay iy pore ras| aoe ee ane iaee Sages | Nendseds of thonseada aol eventes a |asingle lay. ‘The extreme in the other direc- ‘strects, stand in the refectories drinking irits, lounge about the two houses or saunter sbout the rotunda, with an umbrella over their head, leading about some female friend! and while these loafers were so engaged the | older clerks, and older men, with to support, were overworked. ' ‘One bundred such clerks with high salaries (often the high- est ones) ought to be dismissed in a day and substitutes found in the western states who have almost nothing here in the departments.” ‘A VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE. A visit to the White House is described and he states he called very early and the President directed the messenger to hand him the key to the door that led to the room as the ‘one he would see him. “I the key the door,” he writes, “putting my the door case to prevent an ugly jetting ahead of me on my way to mt; but the old lady, stoo) an¢ running before me, c1 be clerk!"

NATURE'S WISE PROVISIONS. “In the case of all these species of fishes which take care of their young acurious adapt- ation of natural law to circumstances is found. ‘Those which take the greatest pains in shelter- ing their offspring have the fewest eggs, hups less than one hundred at a lay. On other hand, other sorts of fishes whi the slightest attention to their young tion is found in the gigantic ray known as the ‘devil fish’ of southern waters, which grows to be twenty feet in width.

PARTISAN POLITICS IN THE SCHOOLS. “I think it not too strong a statement to make,” Gen.
