The order just issued by Secretary Foster pro- viding for the payment of theemployes of the department every week instead of twice « month, as has been the custom, is intended to proteet them against 10 per cent a month shav- era. Many of the employes of the government here are in debt to a greater or less extent to these blood suckers, who are willing to run the risk of advancing thom small sums of money without security at interest of 10 per centa month. There are very few clerks who can go to any straight business man or firm end borrow $50 or $100 withont security, though there is a reasonable certainty that not onc ont fof 500 would fail to meet the obligation. Therefore, lending money to clerks who are temporarily ‘embarrassed has grown to be a very profitable business with certain brokers whoare not afraid to take the risk. The profits on the loans are so great that an occa- Sional loss makes no impression on the busi- ness. Where the broker loses a hundred dollars one clerk he makes a thousand on the rest. | If a clerk never pays back the money borrowed the interest he pays on it usually amounts to two or three times the principal before he works himself up to the point of Fepudiating the debt. The result ix that the clerks pay dearly for any extravagance which has placed hands of the them in the blood" suck- ers. Once in « while a clerk, get- ting deeper and deeper into the’ toils, gives up to despair and kills himself or runs away, to start life over again in some strange place; but such cases are rare. The usual thing, that which hundreds of them are ing now, is to work on month after month, | pinching ‘and economizing that they may scrape together enough money to keep the it terest paid and if possible lessen the principal alittle. Adebtof a hundred dollars incau- | tiously contracted, with the expectation that it | will soon be paid ‘off, hangs over a clerk for | yeurs, the contribution of $10a month to the | broker, without ever lessening the debt, be- coming a part of his regular expenditvres. STRANDED IN THREE DAYS. There are very few clerks who have any part of their salary left three days after pay day, and if they bave any pressing need for money before the next pay day comes they may be driver to borrow. ‘This is not so much because of extravagance as on account of their having many people depending upon them, and they have to pay big rents and dress better than they would have to if they were working for the same wages in some business concern. It used to be the custom to pay clerks but oucea month. Then there was a long stretch of bustedness between pay days and the brok age business began. It was started first by em- joyes who were better off than their fellows [ending money at high interest to the others. Perhaps the high interest was first put on to protect the possessor of the money from con- stant importunities for loans, but it paid so well that it soon became a matter of business, more profitable than drawing a government y- For a long time it was regarded as legitimate for a clerk to squeeze big interest out of his Jess fortunate brothers, and men who pay up promptly were notified by their chiefs that longer delay would result in their disinis- sal. It got so that the two most pressing finan- cial obligations of the clerks were to the usurer and tothe collector of campaign funds.

CHAS. M. CYPHERS OF 207 G ST. 4N.W. ‘Statement of Mr. C. M. Cyphers. For fifteen years my wife bas suffered more of less from bronchial asthma, and for the last three years her case became so very bad that she was unable to leave her room during the greater part of that time; indeed often con- fined to her bed. Her physician exhausted every known rem- edy for relief, called in consultation a throat specialist, and even bad the Koch lymph in- jected, but without any material benefit. Hear- ing of Dr. Lighthill's success in diseases of the respiratory organ she applied to him for treat- ment, and I am happy to state that relief came most promptly. From the very beginning marked improvement manifested itself, gain- ing from day today. Her breathing became matural, the troublesome cough left her, she could sleep all night undisturbed, the distress- ing asthma disappeared, her buoyant spirit, so long depressed, returned again, and abe feels now more like her former self.

The matter got to be such an abuse that finally an order went out against usurers and clerks found ficecing their fellows were dismissed and the payments of the clerks were made more fre- quent—twice ® month. Meanwhile the men who hed been lending the mouey had made enough to be independent, and having to re- sign they continued their ‘business from the outside, still being protected in their collec- tions by the rule of the department dismissing for debt. It is only within recent years that the propriety of dismissing a clerk for not being prompt in his payments to usurers has been questioned and men who had paid in in- terest three times over the sum borrowed were dismissed for ceasing the regular monthly con- tributions. WAR ON THE UsURrRS. Of recent years, however, there has been a war on the usurers, and while a washwoman might be able tocollect her bill froma delinquent clerk through his chief, the usurer bas been generally given to understand that the depart- Sent contd not help him in his business. Re- cently when a usurer complained to the Secre- tary of War that a clerk would not repay bor- rowed money, and it was discovered that the elerk had already paid £260 interest on $100 nd still owed 80, the Secretary recommended the clerk to pay the $40 at his convenience, but to pay no more interest. ‘lo still further relieve the clerks there has been a custom in vogue for some time of yer muting them to draw money between pay days occasionally upon the recommendation of chief of the division. Mr. Foster's new order will do away with this and will permit ali em- loyes to draw their money every week. Whether they will be any richer because of this order is @ question, but. they may like it better to have a little money often. ABOUT ONE IN A HUNDRED. The Chance of Finding Gold in Kock Creek Park Land According to Mr. Eldridge. Yesterday in the Rock Creek Park appraise- ment commission Mr. Eldridge of the geologi- tal survey was continued under examination and on redirect examination by Mr. Cole said the prospects shown on these tracts would not be considered so favorably out west, or in min- ing districts where rich yields have been found.

DIPRESSIVE SERVICES IX THE EIGHTH STREET CHURCH—nEV. DR. STERN'S ELOQUEXT DIS- COURSE—THE RUSSIAN QUESTION TREATED IX A FORCIBLE MANNER—MB. KIXG'S ADDRESS. The synagogues were ell crowded at the ser- vices yesterday afternoon and this morning in celebration of the first day of the Hebrew new year, which began at sunset yesterday. The services in the synagogues, the orthodox and the reformed, differed very materially in style and in language, but both were solemn and impressive. The orthodox, He- brows observe both today and tomorrow asnacted festivals, but today closes the cele- bration proper for the reformers, und after the morning service the day is largely devoted to social intercourse and enjoyment. At the Synagogue of the Washington Hebrew congre- gition services were confucted by the pastor. Kev. Dr. L. Stern, while the services of Adas congregation were led by Rev. M. Rosencwic at the Orthodox Synagogue, corner 6th and streets. ‘The first day of the year falling upon the Sabbath this year the services this morning did not differ essentially from those on other Saturday mornings, with the exception of the fact that there was a sort of additional service suited to the new year, and the shofar or ram's horn was blown im accordance with the custom that bas come down from the time of David. AT THE EIOUTH STREET SYNAGOGUE. At the 8th street synagogue this morning the service lasted for more than three hours and it was of an unusually impressive uature. Expe- cial attention was paid to the music, and chants and tanes so old that their origin is lost in the past were well rendered by a quartet and a carefuily trained choir. The sermon of Dr. Stern was an able discourse and was forthe most part an appeal for more of the light of truth in the every day's doings of the world. The first of his talk was admirabi: fitted to the occasion, filled as it was wit words of inspiration and promise. The latter part of Lis sermon he devoted to the Russian question. THE SUFFERING OF THE RUSSIAN JEWS. The sufferings and troubles of the people ‘he was addressing were, he suid, as nothing to the sufferings of a people who were driven from their homes and exiled to suit the whims of a cruel autocrat. They were compelled to leave the land for which their ancestors had fought and in whose progress they had done their share, Nameless cruelties had been ticed upon them and they were driven across the borders-of the country under the fierco sun of midsummer or over the awful snows of the barren steppes of Itussia. But not one word of protest had been raised against this inhuman action. No nation had rise the cause of the Rusaian Je’ wondered that this was ‘The prin- cipal nations of the world are planning concerted action against China because people uation had not treated with proper con- sideration and courtesy the foreigners in their midst who had come there with the avowed purpose of interfering with their religious autonomy. Yet nothing is done when a country of Europe inhumanly expela portion of its own constituent population, and after depriving them of their all sends them forth as expatriated outcasts upon the face of the earth. Numerous excuses had been given for this state of things, diplomatic reasons and commercial considerations, but the truth of the matter is that the American eagle is afraid to scream and the British lion to roar for fear the feelings of the Russian bear might be hurt. MANY EXILES WILL COME HERE. Many of these exiles from Russia may be'ex- pected to find their way to this country, and the people of their race here must see to it that not one of them be a detriment to the govern- ment nor a charge upon the community. They must have instilled into them a love and re- spect for American institutions that shall make of them citizens of whom the nation may well be proud. Dr. Stern spoke of the great work that there is to be done and the share that each should take and commended the plan of cen- tralizing the efforts and the commencement that bad been made in organizing a central ex- ecutive committee in New York. At the conclusion of his sermon Mr. H. King spoke earnestly im s few supplementary re- marks, in which be said that a meeting of Washington Hebrews would be heid in the near future totake action in the matter and start some system of relief. ‘The people here must seo to it that new comers are not allowed to stop in the more crowded centers, where there is no them, but they should be scattered over the country in such a way as not to bring them in contact with hostile elementsin the nation’s population. Many of them are best suited to be mechanics and farmers and they should be allowed to develop along the lines for which they are best equipped. — WORK FOR WHEELMEN, Plans for Many Runs by Bicyclists Tomor- Fow—Visiters to Be Entertained.

The McClelland-MeIntosh disturbance in South Washington, corner of M and Union streets, as heretofore published in Tux Stan, was tried in the Police Court today before Judge Miller. ward McClelland killed Henry Benton and was acquitted of the killing, and now he is living with Benton's widow. He told Judge Miller that he and Annio Benton wore married about two months ago, but when Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney asked him the name of the minister he had nothing to say. Old man Melntosh, who is the woman's father, exhibited a terribly bruised face, while there was not a mark on McClelland, although he claimed that the old man assaulted him.
