American in which he handles it without gloves. As the American says there are but few prominent men who have ventured to openly fight civil service reform, and this article is notable as showing the line of serious arguments which are adduced against it. At the onset of his article Senator Gallinger says thatr "It is indisputable that no proof whatever has been forthcoming that the work of the Governiment is either better or more economically performed now than it was in the days when honesty and capability, to be determined by actual trial, under the supervision of honest and capable heads of bureaus and departments, were the fundamental In this connection I do not hesitate to put on record my individual opinion, even at the risk of being classed among the political spoilsmen in public life, that instead of the service having been strengthened and bettered, it has actually been weakened and emasculated by the idea that there shall be an indefinite tenure of office, and that public offi eisJs are, ooner or later, to become wards and pensioners of th Government, thus establishing an office holding aristocracy, after the manner of China, India, England and certain other monarchial Governments." Equally forcible is Senator Gallinger's denunciation of the absurdities in the civil service examinations. He says: "The character of the civil service examinations has been such 'as to greatly weaken the law. They have been technical rather than practical but it is now promised that they shall be more practical than, Iteretofore.

It is rather remarkable that twelve years should have passed without the necessity for this having been impressed upon the minds of the Commission and that now when they and the system are under fire, the discovery should be made that a change is desirable. Some utterly absurd requirements have been made in the matter of examinations. As an illustration, the blank for the trades and skilled occupations requires, among other things, that an applicant shall hop on one foot, divested of all clothing, a distance of twelve feet. He is also required to pass an expensive medical examination, to jrive his height and weight, and to state whether or not he is immune from the characteristic diseases of the South." Could anything be more absurd than the compelling of an applicant for work in the Government printing office at Washington or the n'avy' yard at Norfolk, to "hop on one foot, divested of all clothiing, a distance of twelve feet?" What in the aam of common sense, has an applicant for a position of coiner in the mint in San Francisco to do with the "characteristic diseases of the South?" Then Senator Gallinger tells of the brutality of the understrappers of the Cleveland administra tion in forcing out of office brave Union veterans who were entitled to every con federation at the hands of the administration. He says: "One thousand three hundred and ninety four Union soldiers were discharged, forced to resign, or reduced in the departments at Washington from 1893 to 1897, to make room for Democrats, scarce one of whom had seen service in the Union army, while many of them had fought in th ranks of secession.

I have it upon good authority that in the mint at Phila delphia, during that time, over sixty Union soldiers were dismissed, thirtytwo of whom received notice of discharge on Memorial Day, May 30th, 1894." It is the duty of the present administra tion, to replace these veterans as soon aa possible, and get rid of the men who took their places. President McKinley can be depended upon to do his duty here, follow ing the civil service rules, for they provide for the reinstatement of veteran soldiers discharged without cause. Finally Senator fJallinger turns his attention to the subject of political dismissals under civil ser vice reform and says: "During the last administration many thousands of discharges were made, al most wholly for political reasons. In sing.e day several hundred dismissals were made in one branch of the service. and so far as could be ascertained they all belonged to one political party." Of course they all belonged t.j one po litical the Republican party, and their places were taken by Democrats who are yet in office.

By all rules of fair Bess they should be made to walk the plank. Schlater, the healer, has wedded Mrs. ferrie, widow of the man who invented the Ferris wheel at Chicago. From all accounts they are a pair well mated. The expert architects who selected the plan for a new State Capitol certainly were men of good taste.

If the Building Commission adopts the plan ns printed in yesterday's "Telegraph" Pennsylvania will have every reason to be proud. The new Capitol will then lurve all the colonial features of the old building with some very pretty ornamentation. It is said that the price fixed for building the new Capi tol is in excess of that appropriated by the State, if this plan is adopted, but it is thought the Commission will get around this by having the plan altered so as to reduce the cost of construction to come within the amount named in the appropriation. It is not known at present who the author of the plan is. but he certainly is a man of ability.

Eight big industrial plants in Wheeling have resumed in the past week and twelve hundred more men are at work now than at this time last year. Blame it on the advance agent of prosperity. Albany pretty nearly had a Charlie Ross case this week, but fortunately the scheming villians were foiled. Little Johnny Conway, the light of the home, was abducted on Monday, and his parents were notified that unless they put up a large ransom they would never see the little fellow again. The were at once notified, but they were unable to do anything except search in vain.

The parents were almost crazed with grief. and the mother of the little fellow was so prostrated that her life was despaired Finally it remained for the news paper reporters to find the chi'd. It has been said that a good newspaper reporter can discount the average regular detec tive, and so it proved in this Instance. The men of the press secured a clew through means that have not been made public and they at once took action. They learned that an uncle of the boy had semething to do with the abduction ami at once reversed the thing and kidnapped him, taking him to the newspaper office.

From his demeanor they knew they had the right party, but he would not tell anything under threats. Finally they offered him a large sum of money, and he weak ened and took them to the place where the boy was concealed. When the boy was produced the newspaper men and others who were with them succeeded in arresting the companion of the boy's unc.e, wko was a party to the abduction, but the uncle escaped. The joy in the Conway household was something to see when the little fellow was restored to his parents, and the newspaper men had their reward right there. The capture of the uncle is only a question of time, and when he is caught it is to be hoped that he will be given the longest sentence the law can mete out to him.

The wretch who Willi kidnap his own nephew and demand blood money for his return should be laid away forever. Boas Croker, of Tammany HalL says that he is not coming over to this country this year to dictate what shall be done in New York politics, but he is going to come over and work for his friend Sheehan, the present head of Tammany. We don't suppose it matters very much to the people of New York what Mr. Croker does. He and his Tammany crew can never again: get control of New York City, and that is a copper riveted fact.

Well, well well! Here is the price of wheat touching the dollar mark, and the calamity howler is utterly miserable. He does not see how it can be possible for wheat to go up and silver go down, and yet that is the condition of affairs at present. By and by the calamity howler will be so sad that he will go off nil by himself and die, and there will be nobody to mourn trim. No wonder the New York Produce Ex change members went crazy when wheat reached a. dollar.

Some of them have been waiting for over four years for this event, having predicted that the election of Cleveland would eurely bring that figure. Their disappointment for four years has at last been brought to an end during the administration of a Republican President. By this time next week we shall know the names of the next State Treasurer and Auditor General. And, by the way, we can make a pretty good guss at them now when, we recali the names of James S. Beacom and Levi G.

The vest of this suit was rather long, and it was cut rather low in the neck. The coat was a sack, the most comforta ble coat a man ever wears. The trousers were slightly bell around the ankle.

They were heavily creased, and this, indeed. was the only conventional look to the suit. It was very cool, and had, at first glance, the appearance of a cloth suit, while being very thin. Helen Ward. Thrw CcBt Whisky Merajues In York.

The Illustrated New When men begin to patronize these dives they usually last about two years and then they land in BeUevue Hospital or are fished up out of the river. It isnt the char acter of the rum that is entirely responsi ble for the quick finish of their Kves. fack of sleep, exposure to the cold and wet weather, and unwholesome food also play their part. If you go into one of these morgues, the first thing that you will notice will be a very large sign notifying customers that you cannot loaf there. If any great attempt is made at conversation, the bartender immediately makes some such remark as: "You are talking through your hat," or "don't get fresh be cause you happen to have the price ot a drink." or "shup up.

and take a sneak," etc. A most singular characteristic of the bums who patronize these morgues is that they axe generally looking forward to some stroke of luck that will better their fortunes. They frequently assume most marvelous dignity. They dascuss so cial and religious problems as if their opinions amounted to something, and they build tremendous air castles. A Bowery bartender of the better grade of saloons said that cologne spirits, and occasionally kerosene oil.

were used in the manu facture of three cent whisky. Flavoring extracts, syrups, burnt sugar, give the color and the age. Hon. B. K.

Lake Lindenaan, often erroneously spelled Lindermann, marks one of the stages on the overland route to the Klondike goldfields. It is there that the gold hunters stop to build boats with which to navigate the Yukon. This lake PROFESSOR E. C. LINDEMAN.

was named in honor of Professor E. C. Lindeman, a veteran scientist, mineralogist and explorer who is now living, aa he has lived many years past, in Denver. Professor Lindeman is 67 years old. Forty years ago he traveled extensively in Alaska and British Co lumbia, visiting many of the localities which are now swarming with fortune hunters and whose names have within the last few months become familiar to every newspaper reader in the country.

It wm in 1856 that he first saw the Yukon. He was then a member of a large exploring party, many of whose members left their bones in those frozen, desolate wastes. For 17 months he traveled about the country, reaching a point nearly 1,000 miles north of the lower Yukon navigation. Even at that early day it was known that there was gold in Alaska and a noted Russian scientist had so reported to his government, but it seems that his report was given but little attention. Professor Lindeman himself found many specimens and picked up nnggets of gold at the foot of Katrin hill, ally 600 miles north of the Klondike, a spot which it is doubtful if any other white man has ever visited since.

Subsequently he made other trips about Alaska and knows the conn try thoroughly. The professor advises prospectors to carry with them enough condensed food to last for a year, and he says that it is possible to prepare food in such away that 50 pounds will be sufficient. He always prepared his own provisions and is willing to give any miner directions so that it can be done at home. Professor Lindeman has also visited the gold fields of South Africa and Australia. He is a native of Pennsylvania, but ac quired his education and his knowledge of minerals at European universities.

WOMAN'S CUBAN LEAGUE. Philanthropic and Patriotic Organization of Washington Wamen. A little more than two months ago a small band of Washington women organized a society for the purpose of extending material relief to the thousands of suffering women and children in Cuba. The organization is known as the Woman's Cuban league, and already the movement has become national in scope, for plans are being formed to plant branches in every city in the union. The object is to raise funds that clothes, provisions, medicines and skilled nurses may be sent to the oppressed, war stricken and suffering patriots.

J. he league has been incorporated and chartered for humanitarian purposes. It is strictly nonpartisan and nonpolitical. and among its members are many wom en of prominence in various parts of the country. The officers are all residents of Washington.

Clara Belle Brown, the director general of the league, is a clever writer, and as a musician, song writer and lec rarer shows that her talents are of no ordinary quality. Mrs. Brown is of soutnern Dirtn, out her father was a colonel in the Union army. Her interest in Cuba is as inherent as her love of liberty. She is a skillful organizer, ana much of her power is probably due to personal magnetism.

She is of striking appearance, her eyes being black and her hair a silvery gray. mis. u. ijincom, vice director gen eral, is better known in Washington by her pen name of Bessie Beach. She or ganized the Woman's National Press association and was for eight years its president.
