The Civil Service Commission has written
to the President, calling his attention to 1.-THE
attempt made by the Pennsylvania Republi-
can Committee to collect political assessments
in the departments, and suggesting the pro-
priety of making an investigation of the mat
ter, with the view of Furnishing all parties
connected with it who can be reached by the
law They say that sit is their belief that
Chairman Cooper, who is responsible for the
begging circular, is not an employe of the
Government, and therefore cannot be reached
by the law" and they discuss the propriety
of asking Congress to extend the law to cover
such cases.

Kellip, was the recipient of an unexpected
honor on Monday last, at which time he re-

THE NAVY VOUCHERS.
COntinnatIon OF the Dempsey.
wood Trial.


The trial Of w. II. Dempsey and Edward
c. Kirkwood, indicted on the charge of pre-.
sentiug false vouchers TO the Navy Depart.
ment was resumed In tho Criminal Court
this morning, Mr.. Benjamin White con-
tinuing his evidence. He testified as to
the manner IN which Mr.. Kirkwood kept
tho pay-book, aud that examination failed
to show any entry of the vouchers included
in the Indictment.
The witness knew both Messrs. Dempsey
and Kirkwood, but knew nothing about
the relations between them.
On cross-examiDation the witness said
that Mr.. Dempsey had been in his room
frequently and he saw him around tho De-
paliment from timo to time, aud there was
no difference between his conduct and
that Of other contractors with tho Depart
ment.
DR.. William X. Van Rypen, assistant in
the bureau, testified to having examined
tho papers in the bureau and found large
number of triplcate vouchers aud dealers
bills, but found none for those set out in
the indictments.
DIR. Samuel +. Coues, In charge of the
Brooklyn laboratory, testified that none OF
the articles named in the vouchers wero re.
ceived at the laboratory while he was 10
charge.
Dr. Delevan Bloodg00d, at present in
charge of the laboratory, gave testimony
similar TO that of the preceding witness.
Mr.. John Cook was recalled, and said
that ho had discovered in tho records five
other vouchers in favor of j. II. Agnew
filed with the navy pay-oficers' accounts
They were dated in 1880 and 1881.
Mr.. Wilson objected to the introduction
Of the testimony, as no notice Of them had
been given and that the witness, when
previously on the stand was not interro-
gated as to the matter.
The Court decided to admit the evidence
reserving to counsel the privilege of NOV
ing hereafter to strike il out il the proper
connection was not made.
DIR. Philip s. Wales was recalled, and
testified that he had no knowledge of Mr.
AGnew and never signed bills for him
knowingly. The witness mover knew Mr.
Dempsey to do business with the bureau
under any name but his own.
Mr.. #. V. Walker, Of the Pay Directors
Office, presented the duplicates of tho
vouchers found In tho Fourth Auditors
with tho addition of an Endorsement on
them directing their payment to Mr..
Dempsey. The witness presented the
checks for the respective bills, showing that
all Of them were drawn payable to the
order Of Mr.. Dempsey.

Tlied. 81 do not share tho strong prejudice
which exists against its use. Its abuse |
heartily condemn. Many smokers smoke
too much others smoke at the wrong time,
while others, the young, who are not yet
developed should not use it at all. But
used moderately and appropriately tobacco
is not an evil. | do not believe that any
young man should smoke before the limit

that the mucus membrane should not be
allowed to suffer irritation, nor should there
be loss of the salivary secretion or super
excitement of the nerves or nerve centres.
Cigars are better than pipes and far better
than cigarettes; but no cigar should be
smoked for more than three-f fourths of its
length, even with mouthpiece. The smoke
should be taken into the front of the mouth
and elected rapidly. Moderated employed

ON next Monday evening, February o.,
Mr.. Robert Griffin Morris musical comedy
farce, called THE Kindergarten" will be
presented at Ford's Opera. House. Mr..
Morris is the author Of "The Pulse of New
York" /" "Old Shipmates" and other success
full plays, and in The Kindergarten" he
has succeeded in giving to the public what
has been pronounced by the press "the
brightest of the funny plays" In the COM
pany are such artists as Ada and Rilla
Deaves, Lydia and Emily Ycamans, Stanley
Macy, George Bruening, the "fat boy" of
tho Madison Square "Rajah" Company;
Miss Fanny Cohen, James w. Caffrey, d. L..
Williams and Others. The Kindergarten"
abounds in new musical features and
specialties, written by Mr.. Morris, aud tho
entire play is rollicking and harmless
satire on the present mode of object-teach-
ing in schools. "The Kindergarten" was
presented in New York city last Monday
evening and was an instantaneous hit.

sold the forage thus drawn to other per-
sons,
