Civil Service Examinations

A second examination of candidates
for appointment in the civil service will
be held in Washington to-day and to-
morrow. There are still $50 eligible
candidates awaiting appointment from
the tirst examination. The object of
another examination is to secure, if
possible, material from which to make
a fair apportionment of appointments
among the States and Territories. The
Commissioners say that several States
and Territories are not represented on
the list of eligible candidates secured by
the first examination, and others have a
greater representation than they are en-
titled to in the apportionment according
to population. The names of persons
who pass successfully will be placed on
the list of eligibles in the order of their
standing in the examinations, and not
in the order of the date of their applica'
tiOns.

ktIling u Leopard.

At an early hour last Friday morn,
ing, before the Philadelphia Geological
Garden had been opened to the public
one of the keepers discovered that a
large leopard was missing from his
cage. A thorough search was made
and the beast was found in the eastern
part of the grounds and shot. Superin.
tendent Brown was not anxious that q
report of the incident should reach the
public, and he declined to explain how
the leopard escaped. He merely said,
rather mysteriously, that it was in a
way which could not have been fore
seen and which new precautions now
rendered impossible. Mr.. Brown
seems to have acted with commendable
caution in ordering the leopard killed
the moment he was discovered. He
was valuable beast and might have
been recaptured alive; but then, on the
other hand, he might have escaped into
the city, for he could easily have cleared
the fence at a bound.
