At the conclusion of the show out in Chicago it is probable that this most interesting and valuable collection will be brought back to Washington and set_ up nently in the Na ‘Museum. With the disappearance of the Indians, the Esquimaux, the old-time hunters and trappers of the Daniel Boone type, and the cowboys of the west, this collection will continue to grow in interest and real value, for the groups are really startling in their real- ism and their fidelity to the people and scenes depicted.

There were two other men in the game, but he had taken such a good start on them that as the evening progressed he kept just that much drunker than the rest and he continued to pay for the liquor. He was not yet maudlin. He could still see. The only trouble with him was that whenever he looked at a ball on the table he invariably saw twoballs, Then he would sim, nine times out of ten, at the wrong ball and he would be very much surprised when he failed to bit anything but the cushion. Finally he got an easy one. ‘The fifteen ball was just in front of the pocket in such a way that it could hardly be missed.

Twenty-three Thousand Who Hold Government Places at Washington. ‘Millions Are Willing to Take Their Positions and Pay—How Their Marriages Are Reg- ulated by Department Rules—Dudes of the “Foreign Office”—Women and Their Work. panne Ch ES HE RECENT AT- tempt by the House of Representatives —de- feated in the Senate— to lengthen the working hours and cut down the vacations of employes in the departments was inspired by a sentiment which is widespread in the west. All over that part of the country the farmers, while deriding the army and navy,most especially do objuraie the government clerks at Washington. They imagine that these servants of Uncle Sam are so many luxurious idlers fat- tening at the public trough. It was they who struck this blow at them in Congress, Very likely the attempt will be repeated. One thing the office holders might do is to form a union for defensive purposes. ‘There ‘are 23,000 of them here, and their combined in- | ONLY ONE FROM A FAMILY.

THE ANXUAL VACATION. ‘The House voted to reduce the annual vaca- THE QUESTION OF LEAVES. | tion of the clerks from thirty days to fifteen days. Undoubtedly some of the government employes do abuse the present privilege, which allows them thirty days’ sick leave each year in ‘addition to the regular month of absence. Per- sons of this class alwa; figared out for a year in things thus scheduled they are able to turn ‘their leisure to the greatest advantage. For example, whenever there is a holiday there is usually @ half-holiday on day pre- vious. The clerk takes the working part of that half-day off. This gives him two days clear. But, on the day before the half-holiday, he goes to the chief of his bureau and asks permission to leave at 2:30 p.m., so as to catch a train. Thus | the single day's holiday is expanded into two jdaysanda half. The ingenuity with which such affairs are is said to be wonder- ful. However, it should be explained that two- thirds of the department employes rarely take a day of the sick leave allowed them. SICK LEAVE, If a clerk is absent on account of illness over sixty days in any year he or she must paya substitute. The civil service commission pro- | vides all tho substitutes that aro wanted. It is provided that the clerks shall give to the sub- | stitute a certain proportion of the pay, usually | amounting to about 56 per cent. By thus hir- ing a substitute a clerk might retain his place in the service of the government for years, | though himself blind, paralyzed and confined to his bed. In all cases of sickness a physician's certificate is required. Not long ago the Treas- ury Department madearule to the effect that such certificates must always state the nature of the complaint. But the local medical society resolved in formal council that such a thing was out of the question, and so the regulation fell to the ground.

VAST DEPARTMENTAL SUPPLIE One gets # vivid notion of the magnitude of the departments from the vast quantities of ice and coal which are required to quench the thirst of the clerks and keep them warm. The treasury consumes a ton and a half of ice daily, taking an average the year around. An equal quantity is used in the war, state and navy building. But the department of the interior is the great devourer of ice. Including the pension office it gobbles up from five to six tons every twenty-four hours, ‘The quantitiés util- ized are variable. Each department makes its tract for ice, bid being advertised for . No definite amount to be provided is agreed on. ‘The contractor gets «0 much for eupplring all the frezen water required, what- ever it may be. All the departments, together | with their branches, consume 24,000 pounds every day. EEAVY CONSUMERS. The ice is delivered in great blocks from carte at the departments each morning. Mes- sengers chop it up in sizes to suit. Each room has a water cooler or pitcher, which must be kept filled with cold drink from 9 a. m. to 4 P. ‘The messengers fill buckets with the IN MARCH, APRIL, Leading New York Clergymen Advise Celery Compound.

In a general way the exhibit is to consist of a number of groups of figures that shall give a very good idea of some of the native races on this continent, especiuly the Indians end the Eeguimaux The groups are made in most form and show the peoples they are intended to represent in some natural and char-| acteristic povitions. Thus, for exampie, there is one group that shows a number of Zuni et work manufacturing pottery and | another representing them as engaged in a religious ceremony. The figures are all dressed im genuine garments that were secured from the Indians by the field agents of the ethnological bureau and in other ways. In all there ere Upward of seventy figures in the different Foups, all life size and thoroughly realistic. About sixty of the figures that are to be used im the exhibit have already been made anda number of them have been shipped to Chicago. ‘Ten of the figures, representing for the most Part Indian life and scenes, were sent to the ian exposition at Madrid and there is A TURKEY HUNTER. gome danger that they may not be back here in time to go on to Chicago with the rest of the yy. The collection is the finest one of the sort the officials of the Smithsonian Institution have yet been able to produce and reflects the greatest credit upon those who have had the matter in charge. but especially upon those to whom was intrusied the actual work of ‘making the figures. Perhaps the most interesting part of the dis- play part that Chicago will never seo at all.

A cOwDOY ON A TRAIL. If the fect and hands are to be covered with moccasins, or in any way hidden from view, they are built out in the same manner as the rest of the body, but if they are to be exposed they must be made in some more natural way. | They are then made of plaster, and this comes under the sphere of the sculptor or modeler While the figures are being built out in this manner Mr. Theodore Mills, the sculptor. has been busy modeling the head and extremities. They are made of plaster, with lifelike and natural expressions, and are painted so as to have an even more human appearance. Mr. A. Zeno Schindler puts on the facial expression ‘and the flesh tints, and then the head is sent off to the wigmaker, who puts on the n hirsute decorations.

Washington Special to the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette. | Postmaster General Bissell was called upon | today by the Kentucky delegation in Congress | and asked to define what would constitute “offensive partisanship” when used in connec- | tion with removals from office. “Why,” he replied, with » laugh, “I cannot undertake to make a speeific rule covering that | question. Give me an instance of what you | would consider as offensive partisanship.” “Well,” spoke up one of the delegation, “there is in my district a postmaster who cam- i r Harrison and made speeches all spoke from the same platform with me in joint debate. Now, is not that a good case of offensive partisanship? mounted One of the most striking figures in the collec- tion is that of an Indian warrior in full war regalia, gorgeously arrayed and ready to start out after galore. ‘The figure, when com- sted. il vous a cashes’ an te of the and will attention from Mr. Frank Cushing, studies among the Indians, posed for a number served as the artist’ he did not wear ‘side Sgure-the anstemy of an Iedins-—oe anatomy a which the war suit is to be hung.

"This isa country of free thought and free speech, and I would not remove any man simply be- cause he discused the political questions day in » free and fair manner.” Continuing Mr. Bissell gave the delegation some points which he would regard as offen- sive partisanship in postmasters. First, one who would turn his office into political head- rs; second, one who would manipulate mails in the intersst of his party; third, one who would collect and solicit funds for the use of his party, and. fourth, one who would use the position to coerce patrons of the office into voting as he wished. Mr. Bissell stgted that no doubt there were other points. But he would take up each case bro ‘t to him and decide it upon its merits. And he advised the delegation not to support charges of this character unless their proof was absolute. A Word With the English Skylark. If this be all, for which I've listened long, ‘On, of the dew!

Happily betrayals of secrets by government clerks have been very rare, THE PROPORTION OF WOMEN. Though one-half of the applicants for places in the departments are women, only one person of the gentler sex is appointed for every seven men. There is a prejudice against female clerks on several accounts. Nevertheless, some officials bave discovered that they can often get ‘8 woman for £900 a year who 18 more capable than a $1.200 man. Before the war the employ- ment of women as clerks by the government was almost unknown, though they sometimes got copying to do at home. The first woman regularly employed was put on the rolls of the: Navy Department thirty-five years ago. She was a young widow. It was a grave question what should be done with her, and it was thought best to isolate her, as if she were con- tagious. An attic room was given her, and she received and returned her copying by a mes- senger. Today there are 1,000 women in treasury alone. They and others in different departmonts are efficient as accountants, corre- spondents, linguists, draughtemen, typesetters, ‘THE PERMANENT EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN. In 1861 the coined money belonging to the government gave out and Congress authorized the issue of legal tender notes payable in ‘These were the original ‘‘greenbacks.” ‘They came in sheets from the bank note companies, with blank 5 for the signatures of the treasurer and register. It was necessary tocut them apart with scissors and trim the edges, no machine tayo as yet been beer for that purpose, n. Spinner suggested that women should be employed temporarily to cut and count the notes. A number of them were hired, and after they had cut $60,000,000 worth of paper Congress authorized another issue, the same time making the employment of | e women permanent. Some of these very women are stillat work in the treasury,whore their sex is intrusted up to the present time with the counting of the money. From this starting point women gradually made their way into the other departments. 48 A HELP TO sTUDr. A great many young men secure places in the departments merely for the purpose of sup- porting themselves while they are studying in ‘éhe great schools of law and medicine here.

I was then closing my thirty- eighth year in the active work of the ministry of the Methodist Church. Until then I had beens strong, Vigorous man and an earnest worker in churen work. Suddenly I became #0 prostrated that I was forced to resign my charge. 1 could not sleep, Was afraid to be left alone, and could not te train from shedding tears when speaking toany pem son. My kidneys, liver and stomach became very much weakened, so that I was a helpless invaild. “For about two years I tried everything I could hear of such as maguetism, electricity, Clifton Springs, &c., and appiied to several physicians, but obtained mo permanent relief. About four years ago a friend brought me a bottle of Paine’s celery compound; I experienced some beneft from its use; I got some more and soon realized great Dencit from tt. Soon I slept well, my organs and nervous system became greatly restored, and my dread of being alone was removed. “I still continue to use it. If 1 go from nome, to guard against sleeplessness, I take a supply with me. Ido not expect to be made young again, as am now in my sixty-ninth year, but I ame very different man compared with what I was four or five years ago. Had I known6r this remedy when firet aMicted with nervousness my conviction is that, with the Divine blessing, I would not yet be on the list of retired ministers.” ervous troubles:also superfious hair, moles, warts re iat O21 13th et. n. w..
