THE annual dramatic entertainment by
the pupils Of Mrs. Adeline Duval Mack's
school will take place this evening at Fords
Opera-House, and most inviting pro-
gramme will be presented. The reputation
of the lady as an elocutionist and the ex-

given are sufficient assurance that the one
of this evening will be up to the standard.
JUSTICE JAMES has modified the decree
in the case of knight against the Balti-

and says that he has lived all his life in
Washington, and about eighteen months
ago rashly left home and enlisted and went
to Missouri, but after four days service
found the exposure and hardships too much

The Civil Service Commission Hard

Cincinnati Enquirer, June 2.
Mr.. Thoman, member of the Civil Service
Commission, and Mr.. Lyman, chief examiner,
have made a tour Of a largo section of coun-
try, taking the preliminary steps to the ap-
pointment of local boards of examiners.
What have they done2 Take Cincinnati for
example. Mr.. Lyman arrived there Thursday
evening and awaited the coming OF Mr.. Tho.
man yesterday (Friday) morning. Yesterday
these eminent reformers visited the Postoflce
Cthe only department In Cincinnati coming
under the Civil-Service law, and after consul
tation with the postmaster took away list OF
names OF postofnce clerks, &C., from which
the names OF board Of three local OK.
aminers is to be selected by the commission
in Washington. They got the list of
names, and that was all there was OF
their business here. Mr.. Lyman folded his
tent and departed for Washington yesterday
evening, and Mr.. Thoman might have de.
parted also, so far as public business was con-
cerned. The Commissioners and Examiner
have been travelling over the country to attend
to business that could have been tran sacted
by mall at a cost OF three cents TOR each town.
Postmaster Whitfield was doubtless relied on
for the names of men to be considered by tho
commission. What did Thomap and Lyman
know about the postof1lce force in Cincinnati i?
We're they here to produce awe and admIra-
tion In the local Postofllce Department Did
the postmaster feel any inspiration from the
powerful presence To the public the whole
performance will look like farce.

Colonel George Bliss, who made an investl
CATION OF the ottman case as a representative
Of the Department OF Justice, and reported in
favor OF the "compromise" which was after
ward made with ottman, said to-day that ho
had come into that case upon tho
request OF the Attorney-General, and only
after he had protested against the
undertaking. He supposed, when he took the
matter up, that 1t would be soon disposed of.
He Immediately found that II was compli-
Gated case, and that, as the first case against
Halleck, the thief, had been nolle pressed, the
Government would be unable to get witnesses
TO Identify the stolen money. At this 1uncture
Ottman came to Washington and declared his
intention to come Into court and mako a row.
MIR. Bliss had then surrendered the matter
and Mr.. Crowley appeared, not without pro-
test by some of his friends against his appear
ance. Notwithstanding all the ugly circum-
stances OF the case, Mr.. Bliss says he Is
proud OF the settlement made. He says he set
forth his reason for accepting O settlement In
latter to the Attorney.General, which he is
perfectly willing should be glven to the public
II the Attorney. y.General thinks 1t proper to
publish 1t. No one else Is able to explain what
became OF the $4,000 surrendered by the
Government to Mr.. Crowley as ottman's coun
eel 1t Is said that Ottman got only $4,000.
There is much curiosity to know how the re-
naming $4,000 was disposed off, Wash. Cor.

What Colonel Cook Gays.


The surrender OF the money stolen from the
Treasury by Halleck, and by him turned over
TO Ottman, who contrived the robbery, still
excites comment. William A. Cook, referring
to this general subject, calls attention to one
point which Mr.. George Bliss has overlooked.
That was, that while the Government had
