PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 20.-Manager
Kelly, OF the National Theatre, is in an un-
enviable state Of mind. The Ford brothers,
whose eccentricities in the way Of disposing
OF personal enemies are well known, and
who brought the career Of Jesse James, the
outlaw, TO sudden close, expect to make
a professional visit to this city two weeks
hence. Robert Ford intends on his arrival
to seek out Mr.. Kelly and either bore him
full OF holes or demand OF him satisfac.

wit that does not appear upon its face cap.
able Of being explained. Some days ago
the agent OF the Ford brothers wrote 10 Mr..
Kelly asking II he could not give the COM
binati0n travelling under their name
weeks engagement at the National. When
Mr.. Kelly sat down 10 answer this applica.
ton his evil genius whispered In his ear
that it would be very funny to write, in
effect, that there was no opening this year
for the company, shut in July, 1892" he
would be truly happy TO let the young men
display themselves at his house.
This message was written on postal
card and mailed, and IN due time reached
the sensitive agent Of the dead shots"
Meantime the managers Of the Grand Cen.
tral closed an engagement with the slayers
OF Jesse James, and they are expected
here in two weeks. Having closed this
contract and making sure OF their visit,
Robert Ford sent formal note to Mr..
Kelly saying that he would call at the
business office OF tie National Theatre upon
his arrival and demand an apology for the
reflection contained in the postal card.
The letter, though not written in red ink
or puuctuated with representations OF bull.
lets, breathes to Mr.. Kelly's mind spirit
OF revenge, and he Is flying around town
seeking advice, and talks Of making visit
10 some mountain retreat for his health
while Mr.. Ford stops in this city. Kelly
says that when he wrote his funny postal
card be was not acquainted with the history
OF the Ford brothers, but mistook them for
a team OF song and dance men.

WASHINGTON, D. O., April 20.-The
rules prepared by the Civil Service Com
mission for the guidance Of applicants for
appointment to the civil service under the
act OF last season has been submitted
10 members Of the Cabinet. These
rules must be approved by the President
before they become operative, and the
object OF the Commission in submitting
them 10 the Cabinet in advance is that they
may be thoroughly considered. Mr. Tho.
man, the Democratic member Of the Com.
mission, was asked to-day If the Civil
Service bill denies the head Of Depart
ment the power Of removal. He said:
No, il does not. With the civil service
law ID full service the head OF o depart.
ment can dismiss any employe by simply
serving notice upon him that his or her
services are no longer required.
In what way DO you hold the commits.
sion will be Of service to the head OF the
department
In manifold ways. As appointments to
office are now made the political influence
behind candidate is more powerful than
the capacity or aptitude for office the appli.
cant may have. Under the civil service
ruIesa conscientious head Of department,
having due regard for the efficiency
thereof, can readily weed out the incom.
petent employees. In doing this he will
have the satisfaction OF knowing that to
ill such places he will have those who will
have been examined as to their capacity TO
fill public office, aud in this way gradually
the service will be strengthened.
Suppose there should be- a change OF ad-
ministration and the Democrats have
national power, is there anything in the
civil service bill TO prevent a Democratic
President or heads Of departments from
disc harging every public employe now in
the departments in this city?
No, there il not. Without assuming one
way or the other that such would be re.
suit Of IA change ofthe national administra.
tiou there is nothing in the civil service
bill which makes the tenureof Office in the
departments OF this city any more stable
than Il now is. The power to dismiss from
office is not abridged by the bill.

nARsUa,s TRIBE OF NUBIANs.
Some Traits Of the sirnEe People Secured
by the Snowman.

PHILADELPHIA, April 20.-A tribe Of
thirty Nubians, fresh from their native
country, will be added 10 Barnum's show
at the end oftAis week. They were bought
from their chief, Arashkoi, at the rate Of
$4O0 for each man and $500 for each
woman. Ii took several months for them
to travel from their home in Africa,
through burning deserts and over rocky
mountains, to the Red Sea. From the Suez
Canal they were taken 10 Trieste, thence 10
Bremen, and ut the latter port they were
placed in a steamer for New York. It is
claimed that these are the first Nubians
that ever lef. their country for the pur-
pose Of exhibition. Among other
queer propensities they delight to
spend hours at q time greasing their
long black hair with sheeps tallow
until 1t is almost snow white. Then
they twist the sticky mass into hundreds OF
queer shapes, and on the top.knot place a
thorn, thickly studded with smaller thorns,
to serve as a comb. The Nuoians, Us de-
scribed in dispatches to the Snowman, are
very dextrous with the sword and particu-
larry graceful horsemen. At Bremen when
one OF the Nubians was taken sick the
agents Of the circus were started by his
friends laying him out and cutting dozen
holes with an assegai in the hollow oil his
back. They next applied small horns to
the wounds and sucked out about pint OF
blood. AS most Of the Nubian ailments
are said 10 be owing to their being too full
blooded this is remedy which seldom
fails and Is even thought infallible. MIR.
Barnum expects that the queer. colored and
untractable savages will prove a greater at.
traction than the Victorian Jumbo.

NEw.HAvES, April 20.-For the first

Court to day refused to accept a jury's yer-

a hack.driver and the husband Of the
plaintiff in this case, was shot in the thigh
By Fay, and a week later he died. The
shooting followed an alteration over bill

was accidental that Curran, who was much
the larger man Of the two, made an assault
on the accused, who, drawing his revolver
aimed at the sidewalk in order to frighten
his assailant, and that by acGdentthe bullet
penetrated the mans leg. The trial re.
