A Clerk Pot: Out Its Alleged De- fects and Suggests a Substitute. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Much has been said pro and con in regard to the merits and demerits of the Tawney bill. Will you permit a criticism by one who has been in the department upwards of thirty years, and would be one of the eligibles under this bill? I have believed for many years that a retirement bill would be @ necessity in the Nght of civil service re- form, and in justice to those who have served their government long and faithfully —and I still believe it is only a question of time. No banking institution or commercial house of any standing would substitute new and inexperienced clerks in the place of old and faithful employes, turning them out of doors, but they would gradually be ad- vanced to the places of those who have be- come feeble by reason of age—whiie the latter would be given lighter work and less pay, and thus their declining years made easy. Can this government afford to be Jess generous to its aged servants than pri- vate corporations? Can it afford to take the best years of a man’s existence and then turn him on the street to starve? There would certainly be no justice in that. But to return to the Tawney bill. To my mind it is faulty in several respects. First, there should be no deductions from ihe salary, as it would be impracticable to equalize the amount that should be with- held from those long in service. Second, retirement should be voluntary and based upon long and faithful service. Objections might be offered that if no compulsory clause was added, it would fail to accom- plish what is desired—that some aged in- efficient clerks might refuse to retire and make way for younger and more efficient men. But when it is borne in mind that the heads of departments have the authc ity to reduce to lower grades for ine! ciency, there is no doubt in my mind that every such person would prefer to retire than to remain at a lower salary. The bill uld thus work out its own saivation. ird, the salary upon retirement should be gradual, according to length of service. One of the inequalities of the Tawney bill is the fact that it gives the same proportion of pay upon retirement to all, whether they have been in service twenty or thirty-tive years. I belicve a bill framed upon the fol- lowing principles would receive the hearty support an co-operation of every person in the classified service and be indorsed by the people as just and equitable: A bill for the voluntary retirement of gov- ernment employes, to be paid from the treasury of the United States as a reward for long and faithful service. To take effect upon its passage. 1. All persons who have faithfuily served in constant service for thirty-five years to be retired upon application to receive 75 ber cent of average salary. 2. All persons who have served thirty years to receive 65 per cent of average salary. 3. All persons who have served twenty-five years to receive OU per cent of avzrage salary. 4. All persons who have served twenty years to receive 50 per cent of average salary. Sec. 2. Time served in the army cr navy i be counted in computing length of ser- ice. Sec. 3. All persons shall be considered in constant service who have not been out of government employ more than one year. A VETERAN CLERK. Some Changes Suggested. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Referring to the Tawney bill to compel government clerks to provide pensions for themselves, it has been conclusively shown that the fund would soon be exhausted if the rates of pension provided in the bill are to stand and dt the same time the contri- butions are to be returned in case of sepa- ration from the service before the clerk be- comes pensionable. The bill must be amended to make it practicable. I propose tkat the retired pay or pension be fixed at fifty per centum of the average annual salary, instead of sixty-five per centum, as provided in the bill, and that the maximum be made $900 instead of $1,500. If clerks drawing salaries twenty to thirty years will not save anything for their old age, they should not expect to be supported in luxurious idleness by others. If the rates of pension are not reduced the bill will not pass. Next strike out section 5, which pro- vides for returning contributions in case of death, resignation or dismissal. No insur- a.ce or annuity organization can do busi- ress in that way. If this is done an assess- ment at two, instead of three per centum, would be sufficient. The average pensioner under the bill would draw out ten times the amount contributed by him, and the fund would soon be exhausted if assessments were returned. Amend section 3, so that pensioners for the first ten years would have ten instead of three per centum withheld from their annuities. The constitutional objections to the bill are frivolous. If the courts should sustain any such objection, it would be an easy matter to get around it. Clerks certainly have no vested rights to future salary. The law could provide for a reduction of sala- ries, the residue of the appropriation to be deposited to the credit of the retirement fund. No cne would be compelled to ac- cept an appointment at the reduced salary. These pensions should be paid from the public treasury, but if that is impossible the majority of clerks are willing tg be taxed for this purpose as policemen and private soldiers are. It has been intimated that clerks are afraid to express their opinions on the re- tirement bill. I am not acquainted with any who are so pusillanimous.. The retire- ment bill is not a political issue. Very few people outside of Washington will ever hear of it. I do not think that the most rabid pelitical spoilsman would desire to inter- tere with the weak brother who is afraid to sign a patition for or against the retirement Mill. A full and candid expression of opin- ion is very desirable, because the bill ought not to pass if a majority or large minority of clerks are opposed to it. THOMAS W. GILMER, Treasury Department. ——_—_ OPPOSED BY LABOR. Pacific Railway Funding Bill De- nounced at San Francixco. The San Francisco Labor Council last week adopted a resolution protesting against the passage of the Pacific railroad funding bill, and urging California's Repre- sentatives to do all in their power to de- feat the measure. The council denounced the funding bill as a measure “detrimental to the progress of California and opposed to the interests of the entire country.” JUVENILE CLASS Small Boys in the Police Court This Morning. Some Old Offenders Also Appeared in the Procession—Liquor Caused Trouble. Robert Dye, a gentlemanly appearing boy, who is only fifteen years old, was a mem- ber of Judge Kimball's juvenile class of Police victims this morning. He is an or- phan boy, and his arrest was the result of complaint made by Daniel Karnes, a Georgetown man. Robert had been unable to leave collateral, but Policeman Sullivan, who made the arrest, would not lock him up. Instead of doing this he took him to the Police Court and turned him over to Bailiff Cole, who seated him outside the dock, so that the boy of tender years, al- though he hes had a police experience, will not have the sad reflection that he has been imprisoned as have so many small boys. Mr. Karnes, who is an elderly man, made @ general complaint against the boy, say- as he did just what a whole crowd of boys “They pretended they we: selling my house at auction, nd I believe But what the boy said Mr. Karnes did not know. He said, however, that the boys were on the street after 10 o'clock at night. This statement the boy disputed, and de- nied that he was disorderly any more than he was playing. “I did just what any other boy would do who was playing,” admitted the boy. “Have you ever been arrested before?” the judge asked the boy. “Yes, sir,” he answered. “I was arrested on Halioween night about five years ago.” The streets, the judge told the boy, are not intended for play grounds, and he told the boy that in the future he must be more careful. He was put under his personal bonds and told to go home. He Was Fishing. Moses Robinson, colored, and Michael Lanhady, white, old offenders, were before the court because of their intemperate habits. I’m fishing now, said Moses, “and, judge, I know you ain’t going to send me down. “It’s rather remarkable that you are working,” admitted the court, “but it would aiso be remarkable if you kept so- ber.”* But I'm fishing.” “For whisky?” The policeman said that the prisoner had apparently suffered a stroke of paralysis. He was “dead drunk” and did not know ere he was. ‘If you send me down, T'll lose my money “You will lose it anyhow,” the court re- marked, “and you'll have to pay a fine of % Lanhady came next, the charge against him being vagrancy. “I've seen him drunk and begging about the streets yesterday and last week Not iast week,” said the court, signed his release only on Saturday. ‘My eyesight is weak after night, Mike, “and when I sat on the curbsione to rest I went to sleep.” “That's a new excuse,” sald the court. “I'm afraid there was more whisky than there was bad eyesight.” “I only had a few beers and a whisky,” said Mike, “and under ordinary circum- stances I’ would not have been made drunk.” “You can’t keep sober for twenty-four hours, when you are out of prison,” the judge told him. “Your hair is getting gray, and it's about time you were letting liquor alone.”* He was sent down for fifteen days. She Went Back. Jane Jcsephine Cannon was at her old tricks at the same old stand. Sanitary Qfti- cer Frank's office at police headquarters is the old stand for Jere, for when under the Influence of liquor she alweys goes there. The appearance of Jane and the sanitary officer preved very amusing to the Court, and Judge Kimball's smiles were greeted with “It’s not 2a amusing matier to me” from the sanitary officer. “What was she doing?” the court asked. “The same old thing,” was the sanitary officer’s response. “Drunk and troublesome in the office. She was drunker than usual, if such a thing 1s possible.” “I just got out yesterday,” said Jane, ‘and, Judge Kimball, I sent you a letter telling you I was going to get out.”” “¥es,” said the court; “and I got the let- ter.’ “And, Judge Kimball, you've kept me in the work house all the time you have been on the berch.” ‘ “That's the only way to keep you sober.” ‘Is that so?” “You will have to go back for ninety days. Another Boy. William Shipley, eleven years old, charged with throwing missiles, appeared and made a complete denial of the charge entered against him by Policeman Owens. “He was shooting at birds with a bean- shooter,” was the officer's complaint, “but his people are poor, and I’ll ask that his personal bonds be taken.” “Where was this?” “Near Pennsylvania avenue and 13th street southeast.” The court said that there are not many houses in that vicinity, but the habit of using beanshooters is a dangerous habit. “I didn’t have any beanshooter, said. “and didn’t shoot at any birds.’ The policeman said he could not be mis- taken, and the boy was equally positive that he was innocent. The court put the boy under his personal bonds. “I ain't cussed since I've belonged to church,” was Henry Worthington’s plea. Henry is a colored man, and the proof showed him to be something other than a good church member, for he was drunk, as well as disorderly, and the usual fine was imposed. “It’s my first and last time for getting drunk,” said George Roane, colored, who lives at Fairy Landing. He was very much under the influence of liquor last night, and was occupying the whole sidewalk. George made such a good promise that the judge accepted his personal bonds to return to Fairy Landing and let whisky alcne. said the prison- ed AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Americans Present at the Largest Drawing Room of the Season. The Princess of Wales, assisted by her Gaughters and Prince Charles of Den- mark, held the largest drawing room of the season at Buckingham pale, in Lon- den, yesterday, in behalf of the queen. ‘The weather was warm and threat- ening, but great crowds lined the mall. The Marquis of Salisbury and the com- mander-in-chief, Lord Wolesley, as well as all the members of the diplomatic corps, were among those present. The Americans presented were the Duch- ess of Marlborough, formerly Miss Con- uel) Vanderbilt, Mrs. Calvin S. Brice and her two daughters and Mrs. Dougias Grant of New York. Mrs. Henry Asquith, for- merly Miss Margot Tennant, was also pre- sented nomas F.

The obsequies of the late Col. John A. Cockerfll were held in New York yester- day. The remains were first conveyed te Scottish Rite Hall, where the services included addresses by T. F. Brogan, ex- alted ruler of the B. P. O. E., and Joseph Hovard, jr., president of the Press Ctub. Then the body was taken to Calvary Bap- tist Church, where services were condected by the Rev.

North of England, “the nitrate king,” is estimat- ed at about $5,009,000, but it consists largely of shares which, if sold immediately, might result in material loss. All of his affairs were left in perfect order. He nad even opened a ledger account for every horse and dog that he owned, in which were_en- tered ail their losses and winnings. < 15 JEWELS IN. THE SURF. A Boston Woman Commits Suicide With Diamonds on Her Hands. The body of Mrs, Ella J. Hicks of 1022 Boylston street, Boston, was found rolling in the surf off Crescent Beach, Mass., Sun- day. The woman had committed sui- cide during Saturday night, either through despondency or temporary insanity. She was only twenty-five years old, and was divorced some time ago. The body when found was partly clothed, and the fingers of both hands bore many costly Jewels, including a double loop gold band, set with twenty-two diamonds and sapphires. On another finger was a ring containing eight diamonds. The clothing Was of the finest quality. The police took charge of the body and started out to identify it. It was found that Mrs. Hicks had been visiting her sister at the home of Lyman Kimball of Revere. The family had been out during the even- ing, and Mrs. Hicks remained alone. When the Kimballs returned at midnight they found the door open and Mrs. Hicks gone. The family notified the police, and search was made for her, but no trace was discovered until her body was found rolling in the surf. The Kimballs do not care to make any statement, and refuse to be interviewed. Foul play is hinted, but no definite clues have yet been found. Mrs. Hicks left home Saturday morning to go to her sister’ She appeared in her usual spirits, and nothing was known that should cause her to commit suicide. Her friends know of no enemies who would be Hable to try to do her injury. a Found His Wife. Mary Keith, whose age is given as twen- ty years, but who is really several years older, was married about three years ego to George W. Keith. Two children have Leen born to them. But the wife, who is much younger than her husband, left him, she says, because she could not stand his treatment, and went to live in a house tn the “Division.” Her husband, who lives at 2225 H street, and is a department messen- ger, located her in the house where she has lived, and yesterday he caused her a on a charge of vagrancy. This charg presecuting attorney thought could not be substantiated by the witnesses, and nolle prossed the case. The wife has gone to the Hope and Help Mission. ——————— Gladness Comes Withs better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the imowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual d ease, but simply to a constipated con tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere ésteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. Make it weak or strong, to your liking—but be sure to make it. It’s the beverage for health, andtastes goodas you drink it. Just as good to eat.
