The Lyon County New Tima, writing Of
the ludicrous mistakes at a recent school
examination there, says: Although the re-
plies indicated q reasonably high degree
Of proficiency ameng the scholars, some
ludicrous mistakes were made.
A boy was told to correct the following
sentence: emilio began to lift the OK when
he was CALI" The reply was: "Milo,
when he was an OK, began to lift the calf"
A little boy was asked: "What are the
principal minerals in Nevada" He re-
piled, without the least hesitation: "Gold,
silver and trout"
To the question, Glow would you go
from New York to San Francisco by
water?" a boy in the same department re-
piled promptly, and with the utmost as.
surance: "By boat"
Another sChalar in the same class being
asked, "Why do We celebrate the Fourth
OF July?" answered unhesitatingiy: BE

required to give the plural OF two, answer.

Ciyu service Matters.

WARRINGTON, July 10.-The stories that
the President contemplates resembling his
civil service order meets with very prompt
denial when those in quest Of informa.
ton on that subject 60 to him torit. he
says that so far from revoking the order,
he hopes to have 1t better enforced. 1t Is
nota failure, Asto political assessments, he
says that he Is perfectly willing offiCe.hold.
ems should contribute as much as they like
to the Republican campaign fund, and in.
deed would be glad to have them do 80 II
they choose, but he Is very emphatic in
his purpose that they shall not be forced.
He says that while oiIice.holders may con.
tribute 70 the campaign fund, they shall
not be threatened with discharge from the
service Tor failure to do 80. He Is opposed
70 assessments, as the term goes, when q
threat Of discharge Is held over the EN-.
ployes II he does not shell out.
The President says there has been some
pressure upon him to get him to rescind
bis civil service order, but less now than
formerly. II Is working pretty well, Al.
though often violated, but far oitener OBJ.
served than violated. Every violation OF
1t is conspicuous and gets into the papers,
and is frequently made subject Of ridi.
Guile, but the thousands oiinstances where
II Is obeyed escape notice. This, In briei,

say goodbye, many spoke OF being detain.

promise OF places for certain OF their con.
sstituents, They told the President they
knew 1t was useless to go to the Depart
ments, as there was no vacancies, but they
had promised to, and felt that they should
save their words, although the weather
was hot and they were anxious to get
home. The President asked such as spoke
Of this matter, II they would not like to
be relieved Of the labor Of running among
The departments looking for places. They
al unhesitatingly agreed that they would.
The President said that 1t was his idea
hey should be relieved, that vacancies
should be filled by promotions, and that
vacancies in the lowest grade should be

'iously filed their applications, and all
without troubling members Of Congress,

No Decided Tendencies Just at Present
Supplies PIiing Up.
New York Bulletin Of Saturday.
There does not appearto be any decided
tendencies on the general market at the
moment. the tone ruling fairly uniform
and neither buyer or seller making much
Of an effort for advantage. Supplies are
pillng up pretty rapidly, the sorting and
grading continues and selections can be
made to suit almost any want at the mo-
ment, and the condition Of woods seems to
be satisfactory, but the comparative lull
in the demand continues and buyers move
only to the extent Of early and positive
necessities. We again find some inClina.
ton to quote rates easier, but as previous
" noted cannot discover that this means
anything more than the adjustment OF
some OF the heretofore extreme views to
the basis at which actual business could
be done. Indeed, as rule, nearly all
holders are steady and inclined to carry
for q few weeks until the temper Of man-
ufaCturers can be asCertained. The trans
actions reported embrace 10000 lbs un.
washed at 43c; 1000 lbs do at 4oa4Sc; !, 900

WHAT THE PRESIDENT MEANT

When He Issued that Famons Order 10
Onlee-IIoIders.
Conversation Of ex.GoVeFnor Tom Young with the
Washington Reporter Of the Cincinnati Commercial
~ had long talk with him on the sub.
ject, and have no objection to stating to
you what he said in regard to the matter.
He told me that when he issued the order
he had but three objects in view, and so
far as they were concerned he still adhered
to them; first, to prevent ofIice.holders
from attending nominating coventions as
delegates or in any way taking part in
their manipulation; second, that no Office.
holder should be, under any cirCum.
stances, judge Of any election; and third,
that no ottice.holder should be compelled
to contribute any part OF his salary for
electioneGring purposes. All OF these
points he still adheres to, and he does so
because he believes it to be right and the
only course TO pursue in order to promote,
as far as possible, the purity as well as the
freedom Of elections and to free the par
ties from the domineering methods too
frequently adopted by the dominant par.
", through their otBce-holding friends,
for the fIrtherance OF personal and sec.
tional feelings, but the President said pos.
idvely that he did not originally intend,
and does not hold now, that the order was
in the least disqualifier for any officer
under the Government to donate roluntarii.
" any portion Of his salary to aid the party
to which their sympathies and fealty be.
longed, and further he said that he con.
sidered it the patriotic duty OF any man
who held an office under the Government,
Il he was capable Of actingas speaker on
the stump, to tender his services for that
purpose, and il he was a writer and could
write for the press, he would consider it
his duty to do SO, using his pen as well as
his tongue for the benefit OF his party;
but that il he declined to contribute either
money, voice or pen towards the support
Of his party it would not in any way inter.
lere with his position in the Government.
This, in substance, is what the President
said to me, and it would be well enough
to have it more publicly known"

RnbY,s Grnre.

Washington, Pa, Reporter Of Saturday.
There was baby funeral in Mount Ell
lott Cemetry yesterday afternoon. There
were but three mourneB-the father and
mother and a little girl-in attendance,
but they wept abundantly, and appeared
to concentrate in themselves more sorrow
than usually appears in more pretentious
funeral pageants. The little, common,
black coffin, holding so much OF what was
infinitely precious to these people-they
were Bayarians, evidently, and not long
from fatherland-was committed to the
earth, and the sexton commenced to
shovel in the dirt upon the little form it
took so little to cover. Suddenly the
mother threw something into the grave
which fell with a jingle, and she turned
away, sobbing as II her heart would break.
A Ners reporter, who happened to be
present, looked into the gave, and saw a
little tin rattle. Perhaps ii was the only
toy the dead infant had ever had, and the
mother, moved by the same instinct which
prompts the Indians to bury all the
weapons and implements ottheir warrior
dead in their tombs, threw that toy into
the grave Of her babe, to accompany it to
the spiritland.

Cheap Niagara Excursions.

The Wheeling ISTEL1roEScER sharply
criticises the prevalent style Of cheap, bur
ried excursions to Niagra Falls, and de-
mands that greater time be given by max
ing tickets good for return on any train
within a limited number Of days, ten at
the least, instead Of rushing excursionists
over the route to and from the point OF
destination, without a moments rest.
This is change much needed, and we
trust the 1NTELLlGEScEB will succeed in its
efforts for reform.
