Hill Sunday on accoiiut of so many of

Rev. A. J. Bandera and little non,
Thomas, made a buiineta trip to Vien
na Saturday.
We are well pleaaed with the intereat
which the Xewa’ correspondents are
manifesting in this worthy psper and
Its readers. We appreciate the letters
very much, and we are somwhat disap-
ferreil on two women at the treas
ury. Nor is the title a vain one.
The women are dunned as “ex
perts,’’ and their nuties are reck
oned important.
From 9 to 4 o’clock each day,
except Sunday, they may lie found
in the basement of the big nml
dirty gray-brown building where
Uncle Sam’s sinews of commerce
and war, pence nnd prosperity are
kept. Hour by hour they care
fully go through the big piles of
waste paper dumped out for their
critical inspection from the capa
cious maws of the hundreds of
baskets, which are supposed to
catch the litter of officinls nnd
clerks from Secretary Shaw down.
It is the word “ supposed ” that
gives these experts employment.
Too often a document or paper of
value slips inadvertently into the
baskets, and were it not for the
watchful eyes of these women
would find its way into the fiery
furnace of destruction.
People have been wont to joke
ubout the ridiculous titles that
certain government employes bear
.nnd in a popular farce a few years
ago there* was a character whoj
styled himself the official cleaner
of government cuspidors. But
there are, iu fact, two official ex
aminers of waste-baskets ip the
Treasury Department.
The necessity of employes of
this kind will he renlizcd at once
when it is known that drafts,
vouchors and bonds worth any
where from 1(1 up to $10,000, and
even more, are bunded about and
sent from one room to unother as
though they wero of no more val
ue than so much cambric. Fre
quently the carelessness of u mes
senger permits one of these slips
of paper, representing many hun
dreds, niul$ven thousands, of dol
lars, to fall into the waste-basket.
A sudden gust of wind may carry
a bond from the chief’s desk anil
toss it into the same receptacle,
while a hurried official may tear
in half a draft for a large sum of
money and throw the pieces into
the basket. Until the adoption
of the present system of examin
ing the contents of these basket
at the end of each day all mishaps
of this sort were past immediate
correction. While they did not
always result in the aetunl loss of
the fuee value of each paper, they
invariably caused a great deal of
trouble nml annoyance. Banks
that ordered shipments of notes
failed to get their money until
weeks after the time it should
have been delivered. Then, again-,
tho disappearance of an important
draft nr voucher created or less
suspicion ns to (lie honesty of em
ployes and kept the treasurer in
lint water. Now, most of this
trouble is avoided through the
skill of these lynx-eyed examin
ers, who examine every article
that goes into tho baskets.

Too 8hort For His Purpose.
A report turned in a few days ago
by the engineer of a local switch
engine that figured iu un accident ri
vals the famous “off again, on again,
Flannagin,” report.
The engineer lost control of a
train of freight cars on a short spur
track, and two of the cars went over
the end und into a ditch. When the
wrecking crew had taken charge of
the derailed cars the engineer sat
down to fill out the accident report
blank. He got along all right until
he came to the “Cause of Accident”
query. Long and hard thinking
failed to show him how he could an
swer this without involving himself.
Finally he put down:
