PRELLER, the man who was murdered
In a st. Louis hotel and whose body was
placed In a trunk, carried a heavy life In
surance in an English company,
which, however, refuses to pay the claim
without more convincing evidence. The
company sets up the theory that the
body was not that of Prsller, but a mod
ical college subject, and that the "mur-
der" was simply a put-up job by Preller
and Maxwell, who has since been ar
rested In Australia as the alleged murder
er of the former. The insurance people
claim that Preller Is alive. Such frauds
have been attempted before, and 1t would
be nothing remarkable If the great st.
Louis hotel trunk tragedy should turn
out to be such o job. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Identification of the body
found In the trunk was rather incomplete,
and that during the inquest the theory Of
fraud was advanced and discussed among
the others by the various newspapers,
although the general impression was that
the body was really that of Preller and
that Maxwell was the murderer. The
attitude of the insurance company Ger
tainly adds new and mysterious interest
to the case,

Mr.. DoRMAN B. EATON In an %srticle In
the North american Review for July,
entitled "Two Years of Civil Service Re.
FORM" presents some interesting and i'm
portsnt facts and figures concerning the
operation of this system. which was es-
tablished by a republican congress. The
classified service to which competitive ex-
smlnations apply embraces $3.50 places in
the departments at Washington, 5000 In
the postal service, and 2600 In the GUS
toms service. Since the new system went
into operation, July lG. 1883, there have
been examined more than II, 900 appli-
cants, and 225 examinations have been held
In various sections of the country. Out
of these Il,OO0 applicants about 1900
were given appointments for probation
airy periods. Nearly all of these sp-
polntses, however, have been retained,
only two In every hundred failing to Sc
cure permanent places. MI. Eaton
maintains that the success of civil service
reform has been clearly demonstrated;
that the new system Is permanently es.
tablished, and that any attempt to restore
the spells system will result In failure
1t Is to BIO hoped that this prediction Will
prove true.
