Biz Robbery in Chicago.

Last Saturday about o'clock in the after
noon Paymaster C. S. Bartlett, of the Chicago,
Burlington l. Quincy railroad, left his Office
for lunch without taking the precaution to lock
the combination of the big safe, in " hich the
moneys for the payment Of the employees were
deposited On leaving the room he did so
without waiting the return Of other attaches of
the office, who had gone to lunch Before his
return the safe was robbed Of all it's contents
except some packages of nickels and some
small change, the total amount dig Dis
mated, being $4,000! On the facts
becoming known an investigation was had, and
Paynlaster Bartlett was discharged from the
service of the company for negligence, and the
affair was placed in the hands Of the detectives.
An effort was made to keep the matter secret in
the hopes that the detectives would thereby be
facilitated in their work, but the affair becom-
ing known and in the belief that exaggerated
statements would he published concerning the
robbery, the officials showed willingness that
the exact facts be furnished tho public. The
theory advanced by the treasurer of the COM
pany is that the robbery was accomplished by
a sneak thief

Future Action Of the auffrasists.

At the session of the Woman Suffrage asso-
citation in Washington, plan for future action
was mapped out and agreed upon. 1t was de-
cided to hold conventions the coming year un-
der the auspices of the association in every
state and territory not now organized for
woman's suffrage and that upon the vice pres
idents of the order should devolve the super
intendency Of what is known as legislative work
in their respective states and territories. This
Legislative work consists in endeavors to secure
the adoption by state and territorial legislatures
and recommendations to their representatives
in congress, of the proposed sixteenth amend
ment, to give freedom of the ballot to women
1t was also decided to use all resources at the
hands of tho association to defeat any pres.
mated, who is opposed to women suffrage. The
views of several candidates on this question
are to be obtained by officers of the association

There has been striking illustration

There has been striking illustration
recently of the efficiency of the civil
service law, showing how much the sys-
TEN does to recognize merit. There
recently came to Washington from New
York gentleman who had been the
principal of high school, but who, on
account of his health, was obliged to
abandon teaching. He did not know a
person in Washington. He passed q
high examination under the civil-ser-
vice rules, and on one Of the first elig-
ible lists was certified to the war de-
partment. He was accepted on his exam
nation papers and placed at desk in
the Quartermaster's Office. In about
two weeks vacancy occurred in q ST.
200 grade. Although he had passed an
examination for that grade he had only
been appointed to $500 position. The
chief of the Office was SO pleased with
his work and his industry that he pro-
noted this New York school teacher to
the vacant 1900 place. The other
clerks in the Office ct once asked him
who his "backer" was, and insisted that
he must have powerful influence, as
so rapid promotion had never been
known, In few weeks more his
efficiency and diligence was SO marked
that when vacancy occurred in the
Secretary's office where person was
needed as corresponding clerk, his
name was mentioned as we'll fitted for
the place, and he was at once promoted
to that position, and now holds it to the
satisfaction of his superiors. This New
York school teacher, unknown to the
politicians, could probably never have
received his appointment under the old
system,
