Majority Are From South and Are Practically Penniless. ; VYashington, May 25. There is a sad lesson and an equally sad uiurai io me statement today that on yesterday, fully 200 of the fatal blue envelopes were distributed among the treasury employes not ing that their services would no longer be required after June 30, the close of the fiscal, rear. This means, of course, their dismissal from employment, and that means food and raiment for from 1,500 to 2,000 people. Nearly 90 per cent of the. dis charged are old men and women who have been in the government service for many years, some of them for a generation. Nearly all of these have lived up to their in comes and their co out into the world hopeless and poverty-strick en and helpless to secure other em ployment.. It is a sympathetic, if not pathetic, situation, and yet tnere is no help for it WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES. The trouble is that all govern ment employes have a conviction that they being under the civil service rules will hold their places as long as they live and they take no thought of tomorrow" and live for today. They never think of a rainy day and very ew of them save ud a dollar for their old age. Then the shock comes and finds them penniless and heartbroken and their loved ones crying for bread. There cannot be ahy thing more distressing and at the same time there cannot be a better warn ing, for it should teach those who remain to economize and make an effort to save up something for the int. At best, these government posi tions are the most uncertain of all others. At first they are fine and promising, but in the end most cases, especially with women, they bring not only other" disappoint ments, but sorrow. It is a thous and times better for a , young wo man to marry a trustworthy young man, no matter how humble in life he may be, than to get a govern ment clerkship, and it is far much better for to enter into any respect able service to make an honest living than in the government service. MAJORITY FROM THE 80UTTI. It is said that a majority of the unfortunates are from the southern states. If this report is true it is not easy to understand, as the south has only three-tenths of the. em ployes of the government here in Washington and elsewhere in the country.

Contracts for locomotives, rolling stock-, steel rails and fittings, invoking a toUl expenditure of $7,290,000, have been let within the past few week by the Southern Railway company, according to announcement made today, thus carrying out the state ments as to orders to bo given, contained in President Fmley's announcement of March 17. Seventy-five locomotive, 3,620 all sleel 50-ton coal and coke cars, and ten combined passenger-bag gage cars are to be . added to the motive - power and rolling stock equipment of the Southern as the result of these contracts. Io ad- tlition to this, contracts have been let for 46,000 tons of 83-pound steel rail and for 190,000 improved joints for use with this rail. The steel rail and fittings which will .represent an outlay on the part of thexorapany of $1,800,000, will be used in improving its lines by replacing lighter rail which will in turn be relaid in place of still lighter rail on the subsidiary lines. and in the prosecution of the com pany's plans ior double tracking its more important lines. The completion of work on sixty miles of double track under construction will give 244 miles of double track between Washington and Atlanta while there are 95 miles of double track now in use on other lines of the system. Thirty thousand tons of this rail will' be furnished by the Tennessee Coal, Iron & Rail road Company from its Birming ham plant, in line with the'South- ern Railway Company's, policy of patronizing southern industries Snlr(ft'tehUheoyklh,c Mary land Steel Company, and six thous and tons by the Cambria Steel company. In addition the company is build- mg tor liseii at its Lenoir car work, 1,000 steel underfrarae ven tilated box cars, and 200 steel un- derfraine stock cars, and for the Georgia Southern and Florida rail way 205 steel underframo ventilat ed box cars. Upon the completion of this work about August 1, con struction will be begun on 1.000 additional steel underframo venti lated box cars of 80,000 pounds capacity for the Southern railway. These large expenditures on the part of the Southern railway com pany mean greatly increased fa cilities for handling the growing traffic throughout the southern states and better service for every point on the various lines of the company.
