It is #@ great time for centennials now in France. Some—as may be imagined—they pass over silently. “But therg is one,” says the Par- nne, “which I must see—the Centenary of the Polytechnic School!” He marches out, in a Directory costume. And what a song! Pathetic to the point of blubbering! Only a moment before it was the Little Mustarder, joking the Captive Balloon about her being well preserved. “And the little balloons! Do they still— balioon?” “Oh, yes, sir; they balloon al- ways, they swell ‘ike little breakfast rolls in the oven!” And now--tears, manly tears, an audience hoarse with hely ardor. “Car- not, the integre et noble Citizen—he gave his country all his heart, and then his life!” And no one will begrudge the words of raise for the great school itself—the »ol which had its hundredth year so royally celebrated in the summer pest.

I've just come from my baptism—my civil bap- usm. For I've been baptized civilly! Oh, it was a farce!’ And-then comes up the whole question—the municipal council of Saint-Denis and the Cempuis Orphan Asy- lum and a dozen kindred socialistic topics. Civil baptism has been invented by the extreme socialist-radicals to draw still farther away from religion the common people, who are still accustomed to have their children baptized. It consists in the giving of the name, with a handing round of wine and sweets and vague speeches on liberty, equality, fraternity. The iong- hatred deputy poet, Clovis Huguesy has presided at several of these ceremonies. The stage is clear again. There is an act to ventilate a public grievance agairfst the omnibus companies. The stage becomes a “transfer bureau"—the waiting room, where the people who have “exchanges” or “correspondences” wait for their street cars or omnibuses. The rule is “your ex- change ticket ts good so long as you don’t quit the bureau.” So a lady makes an ap- pointment to meet her lover there. “Give me a number!" “Where for?” asks th: transfer agent. “No matter where—any. where!” “Place Pigalle?” “All right.” it all the same to you?” “Yes, it’s same to me (pour moi c'est egal). agent shrugs. “For me it’s even more all the same!” (bien plus egal).

A drop curtain painted to represent a brick wall descends and cuts them off from the rest of the stage. “But we are walled up!” Furious applause.

He walled them in and kept them there three days. A crowd of thou- sands stuod around the correr always. The police came to the rescue. The muni- cipal council interfered.

PRECAUTIONS ADOPTED Written for The Evening Star. HE THEFT OF $170,- 000 from the govern- ment thirteen years ago by Capt. How- gate, who is now con- fined in the jail here, is only one of a very long lst of frauds and thefts by which Uncle Sam has been made poorer. The list of fraudulent claims, of fraudulent pen- sions and of petty thefts would make a large catalogue. But even the number of the conspicuous and important frauds is large, and the amount of stealing they rep- resent is considerable. It runs into the millions. The experts who have been at work on the system of the treasury and the other de- partments, and under whose recommenda- tion the recent reorganization of the Treas- ury Department was carried out, prepared some time ago a statement of all the frauds which had been passed by the accounting efficers of the treasury; their object being to demonstrate that the checks, which were considered such safeguards, were really of much less value than had been supposed. ‘The first important case to which they call- ed attention (Mr. Dockery acted as their spokesman on the floor of the House) was that of the disbursing clerk of the Post Office Department, a man named Burnside, who defaulted in the amount of $30,000 in 1884. This amount was recelved for the sale of waste paper, old boxes, etc., between 1875 and 1884, and Burnside, instead of turning it into the treasury, put it in his pocket. Now the books of the superintend- ent and the financial clerk are inspected once a week, and a repetition of this fraud would be impossible. The government buys some experience rather dearly. Star Route Frau The celebrated tar route” frauds are probably the most conspicuous in the list of frauds against the government. These frauds were worked under plea of expedit- ing the service of the Post Office Depart. ment over what are known as “star routes” —routes covered by special contract with carriers, which are indicated in the Post Office Department list with an asterisk. If @ contract was made to deliver mail once a week at a point 110 miles from a railroad within 50 hours from leaving the railroad, for $1,000 a year, the patrons of the office (including the friends and employes of the contractors) would petition for a delivery twice a week. By collusion with officials of the Post Office Department, the service would be expedited as requested, and the contractors would receive double the sum agreed upon originally for the work. Then petitions would be presented for quickening the service—that is, shortening the time of transportation. This would m+an another addition to the compensation, often quadrupling it. In about four months acter July 1, 1878, the cost of the western atar route service increased about $1,500,- 0) a year. Then came public scandal, con- gressional investigation and indictments. Since the investigation of the star route frauds the Post Office Department has stopped “expediting” the star service. If a contractor declines to deliver the mail at a better rate of speed, the contract is can- celed and a new contract is let to the low- est bidder, The Horse Claims. But for the failure of the urgent defi- ciency appropriation bill in Congress in 1887 the treasury would have been robbed of $60,000 by an official of the Treasury De- partment named Harvey. He put through the third auditor's office bogus claims for horses taken during the war. These claims were approved by the controller's office, be- cause ¢hey were regular on their face; and Harvey obtained $12,000 on them; but the additional sum, which he expected, was not appropriated by Congress, and before another session a clerk in the third au- ditor's office discovered the fraud and the matter was investigated. Ninety-two per cent of the money ex- pended by the government is advanced to disbursing clerks in the different depart- ments. Many of the frauds on the govern- ment, therefore, are traced to disbursing officers. Only a few years ago the dis- bursing clerk of the Department of Justice, a man named Ewing, was found to be short several thousand dollars, money which had been advanced to him aad for which he had not accounted. The auditing depart- ment of the treasury was so far behind in. its work that he had no difficulty in con- cealing the shortage. Howgate's frauds, which amounted to $170,000, were worked by means of fraudu- lent vouchers. Howgate was disbursing of- ficer for the weather bureau. The embezzlers and defaulters are not the only people who have robbed Uncle Sam. A great many trusted clerks in the treasury have taken money which belonged to the government. Where so many ple have the handling of money ccnstantly it is sur- prising that so little is stolen. The most famous treasury robbery occurred in -1875, when Benjamin Hallock, a clerk in the cash room, took $47,906 fn treasury notes of $500 each. They were not new notes. If they had been their numbers would have been consecutive and they would have been easy to trace. Hallock’s accomplices in the theft were a saloon keeper named Ottman and sporting character known as “Pegleg’ Brown. They fell under suspicion, and di- rectly afterward the secret service officers began to shadow Hallock. Eventually Hallock was arrested and he turned state's evidence. But not only did the other men escape punishment through a disagreement of the jury. but $14,500, which was found on deposit in Alexandria to the credit of Ottman, and which waa supposed to be a part of the stclen money, was turned over to the counsel for the accused men. So the government got very little satisfaction from its prosecution of the case. That is the al- most invariable record of the trial of per- sons whe have robbed the government. ‘Worn Paper Money. The redemption of well-worn paper cur- rency by the treasury has given opportu- nity for more than one theft. Every pre- caution Is taken against the abstraction of ary of the old currency after the treasury has given a receipt for it to the United States Express Company, and all possible safeguards are thrown around the new currency which is sent out to replace it. When the old currency fs sent through a subtreasury it comes to the department sorted according to denominations. It has been counted twice at the subtreasury. At the treasury it is counted again and sorted according to the character of the notes, and then according to serieg. Packages are made of notes of a like character, and each pack- ege is cut in half through the middie of the notes. One package of half notes is sent to the Secretary's office and the other to the treasurer's office to be counted again, and these offices are a check on each other. ‘The final step ts the destruction of the old notes under the eyes of @ committee of a CATRO APART MENT HOUSE. In the construction of such a building as the Cairo apartment house, on Q street near 16th street, which is thirteen stories in height and is now nearing completion, 2,500 tons of iron were used in the founda- tion and the steel frames. The latter ex- tends the entire height of the structure, and is filled in with 3,500 tons of terra cotta for floor arches and partitions, while there are 2,000,000 bricks in the exterior wall, trim- med with 12,000 cubic feet of Indiana stone. It took 60,000 square yards of plastering to cover the walls. Building operations were begun on the 5th day of March, when the lines for the foundation were laid out. Three weeks later the first steel beam was Placed on the foundation, and about the middle of June the large steel frame, thir- teen stories in height, was completed. The brick work was started on the 15th day of April. It is expected that the building will be completed by the 15th of next month. The architect and owner, T. F. Schneider, jooks with pride upon this record of rapk construction, ; The rates for the apartments range from $15 a mouth for a single room to $42 for two rooms and bath, and larger apartments at proportionate rates, the rates on all the floors being the same. The cafe will be on the twelfth floor, and will be under the management of A. M. Mills of Woodstock Inn, Vermont. It will be run on the Amer- ican and European plans. A month's rate for boarders will be $35. The building will be opened for the reception of the tenants a few days before the ist of December. That this mode of living is growing more popular ts evinced by the fact that a large number of the apartments in this building have already been rented. The roof garden will be for the use of guests, and no refreshments will be served there. twenty years and who was transferred to the redemption division when it was first established took about $1,200 and falsified his books to conceal the theft. He was caught, but his friends outside the office made up $1,000 of the shortage and the cierks in the office made good the other $200, so the treasury officials decided not to prosecute him. Under Treasurer Hyatt a woman com- mitted a series of thefis by tearing small pieces ffom silver certificates until she had enough to pateh together three-fifths of a full note. Under a rule of the department three-fifths is accepted a full note. She substituted her patch work for a complete note in one of the packages she handled. No one knows how much she got or how leng her stealing had been going on. When she was discovered in the act she admitted taking $1,000 worth of $160 certificates, and she made good that amount. But in the treasury they believe that she got much more. She had grown wealthy somehow, for she mortgaged some property to make good the sum sne confessed to have stolen. The Silcott Defalcation. The biggest theft ‘yndér the redemption system was made by a clerk named Wins- lcw in 1874. He took a package of new money containing $11,0), intended to be sent to the National, Bank of Illinois in exchange for old currency. The secret service people got so close to Winslow's trail that he left a package containing $11,200 on the steps of the house of the chief of the secret service. Winslow was arrested later, and the government recov- ered all but $555.85 of the stolen money. Strange to say, Winslow got a year and a half in the penitentiary. These thefts are about the only ones which have occurred in connection with the redemption of old currency. The record is a good one, considering the fact that from $500,000 to $1,000,000 worth of mutilated money comes in for redemption every da The most noted theft from the go ernment in recent years was that of Sil- cott, the cashier of the House of Repre- sentatives. The reasen assigned for the embezzlement at the time Sileott disap- peared was that the cashier had been lead- ing a fast life. This was the explanation publicly given. But there was another story in circulation at the time whicn had many believer It was said that the first shortage in the cashier's office grew out of advances made House, who was making a contest for a seat In the House. The general belief was that he would be seated. According to the story accepted by some, money from the cashier’s funds was advanced to him dur- ing his contest, and when the House voted not to seat him he was unable to return what had been advanced. Silcott there- upon took what else he could lay his hands cn and fled, | | | | | —_<—____ TWINS IN POLITICS, A Political Convention Makes a De- eided Mix-Up. The prohibitionists of Alameda county, California, never mix anything tf L.ey can help it, says an exchange, but they recent- ly succeeded in so thoroughly mixing Her- bert and Albert Waters of Oakland that they nominated Herbert for county clerk in mistake for Albert. Every one in Oak- land was amused by the odd error—that is, every one but Albert. The brothers are twins, who look so much alike that their mother cannot tell them apart, and it is further alleged that when Albert and Her- bert look in the mirror each sometimes wonders which one of the twins he Is. Not leng ago Alberz, who is an ambitious young politician, concluded that he would enjoy running for courty clerk on the pro- hibition ticket. He placed himself in the hands of his friends, and was assured that the nomination would be his when the county convention met. % Then Albert did a very foolish thing. Un- mincful of the fact that his twin brother was at large in Oakland, he went io Fresno on business, leaving hig friends to look after his political fenges., When convention day came Albert wag still In Fresno, and Herbert, who was igterant of his brother's political aspirations, strolled ito the con- vention hall, where, to hjs surprise, he met with a very enthusiastic reception.

Norway is Compet With Chicago in the Mutton Trade. From the London Telegraph. London will shortly have the advantage of another meat supply—this time from Norway--which is perfecting arrangements for supplying the English metropolis with as much mutton alive and dead as {it can spare for exportation. Systematic experi- ments were made recently under the super- vision of the Stavanger Agricultural Society, and the results were so satisfactory that in the approaching cold season it is to be repeated on a larger scale. It appears that eighty sheep, each weighing about one hun- dred pounds, were fattened for a week or | so until they turned the scale at from one hundred and fifteen pounds to one hundred and twenty-three pounds. They were then shipped to London, where they realized an average price, after deducting commission, 5d., and as the total outlay had been | only 26s. 0d. per head there was a net profit Sd. on each animal. Forty were also ver with the skins, hoofs and interiors imtact, but on these there was an average less of 10s. per head, partly explained by the skins being damaged through bad pack- ing. Nevertheless, the Stavanger Society have come to the conclusion that the busi- ness promises to be remunerative, and the English people have thus an additional guarantee of an adequate supply of mutton, From the Chicago Journal.
