A Long Plunge to Death.

Great ShoshOne Falls, as seen from
the bluff, forms one of the grandest
views we have ever beheld. The river
at Bells Landing is about 900 feet
wide, and below spreads out to double
that width As sentinels standing above
the water, three large racks--the Three
Sisters-guard the entrance to the
rapids. Bells Landing is large rock,
which juts out into the river where the
water is deep and smooth, and yet it is
just above where it becomes rapids,
falls in cascades and then takes its
long leap below.
Tom Bell was miner who could
guide boat and make much progress
through currents which less brave men
would not undertake. He ventyred to
an island just above the brink Of Bridal
Veil Falls, and on its lower side found
a good pay bar He would take
his little boat from the landing, shove
out into the strong current, and by
few dexterous strokes of his oar land
on the upper part of the island. With
pick, shovel and rocker he would pass
the hours gathering gold and at eve
would pull his boat up stream and
reach the landing on shore. He became
noted for his pluck in tempting the
waves and for his industry and life of
hermit in his little cabin on the south
shore.
Two years ago Tom Bell was in his
boat taking two Cinnamon across the
river above the falls. Whether he had
become careless from tempting the
waves so often, or whether he lost or
broke an oar will never be known, but
one thing is certain, that he and all the
contents of the boat went over the falls
going down 200 feet and sinking to
rise no more. His name is preserved
by friends appropriately designating
the landing, the island and the cabin
as Bells, and his rocker, fragments of
the boat and other relics have been
carefully collected and placed in the
cabin.-Shoshone Letter IN Sat Lake

How Graceful Woman Gets Out of

Did you ever notice how long it takes
woman of the always-going-and-nev-

Something thus She has risen to de-
part, matter which really won't be

was said about me before the election,
which waa TO take place in about i

of being horsethief, but paid no at.

asserted that had been tho treasurer Of

There is naturally great commotion

pay with 10 corresponding drain on
other the mental or physical strength Of
the employe. All told there are 10000
perronS drawing pay from the common
treasury. About 5000 OF this number
are postmasters, 1000 more are 10 the
railway mail service, and another 1000
in the iDternal.revenue service outside
Of Washington. The federal courts, the
customs aud consular service give en-
ployment to about 10000 more, and the
remainder are employed in the Indian
service, in or about Congress. and In the
departments. But large proportion Of
the whole number are classed as 'labor.
ers," and are not, therefore, office.hold-
ers In the common acceptation Of the
term
The civil.service laws cove. on!y $4,000
places, as follows: 5,652 department
employees receiving salaries from 5000 to
81 800 year; 5000 postal employees
receiving from $500 to 81 800 year, and
1913 customs employees receiving from
5000 10 81, 800 year These $4,000
places can bo filled by competitive ex-
animation only, and as these places em.
brace nearly all the easy places in the
public offices ct Washington it follows
that there will be comparatively few
changes at the capital with the incoming
of the new administration. The higher
officials, heads of bureaus. or divisions,
confidential clerk and officers, messen.
gers and laborers can be removed and
their places filed with friends Of the ad-
ministration; but the great army Of
clerks in the chief Office of the govern
ment are protected by the civil service
act.
In other words, $4,000 office holders
can not be removed at the will of the
head of the government, but $4,000 are
subject to removal, including of course
the postmasters, who pCmber about 50,-
O00-leaving 10000 miscellaneous places
to be filled. Probably 10000 of the
last named number are "laborers" The
government patronage is rapidly assum.
ing enormous proportions. 1t isnow five
times larger than the regular army, and
is each year becoming larger, while the
military and naval establishments are
with difficulty kept full. There is never
any lack of applicants for places in the
civil service.-Atidntd Constitution.

desperate end of reviving the impaired
constitution of the Democratic party.
Renewed cheers. And no sooner had

World and kindred prints, in tones Of
impudent defiance, calling upon the Re.

VIII Cleveland Marry.

ALBANY, November 9.-Here it is re.
garded as settled that Governor Cleye.
lahd is the next President, aud already
the gossips are busy with conjectures as
to who will be the lady of the White
House. There il n we'll defined belief
among his friends that there Is o. young
lady in Western New York who will
soon be led to the altar by the President
elect. Others who have known him
long and we'll say that he will never
marry and that this talk simply comes Of
the fact that he has shown this young
woman some slight attentions since he
was elected Governor. Early in life his
hopes aud ambitions for wife were
crushed by tho hand Of death, and Ills
affection for the lost one has kept N
treading the wine.p press of life alone. If
the reports that he is to marry are not
true then his own immediate family will
furnish tho lady TO do the social honors
Of his administration.
1t 10 generally believed by those who
know him best that there will be less
festivities during his term of Office than
have been for many years past He has
been hard working Governor and will
probably continue bis industrious habits
as President. Bachelor as he is, the
White House will, however, have q most
creditable mistress. There ere four
ladies In his immediate family, either OF
whom can we'll do the honora OF the
household. His eldest sister II this
country, Mrs. w. E. Hoyt Of Fayette.
Vile, would fill any position with credit.
She 10 middle-aged lady, of pleasing
address, who has spent O good deal O!
time ut the Executive Mansion here since
her brother has been Governor. She has
made many friends here in the capital OF
ths State and will doubtless do the same
in Washington, where she will probably
go the 4th Of next March. Miss r. E
Cleveland Is the maiden sister. Shb still
resides In thee elittle home cottage al
Holland Patent, just above Utica. A
good public speaker, q quick conversa
tionelist and generally plain woman oi
intellectual force, she would do her share
In entertaining her brothers. guests at the
| National Capitol. Mr.. Cleveland he's G
sister who for twenty years has been {
missionary at Ceylon. She has two
charming young lady daughters, Mary
end Carrie Hastings, whom the Governor
has been for gears educating In thil
country. He has given them every ad
vantage and they have improved Them
They will no doubt be part of thil
uncls's family circle at Washington, a.
they lave been at times here.
With Mrs. Hoyt or any one Of three
other ladies spoken Of the social end O
the frat Democratic Administration fol
o quarter of o century will be we'll sus
tained, even should the President cleo
continue bachelor.
