THE PRESIDENT.
u1s NEW APpoINrMENr METHODS
He Is Scanning Every Recommendation Pre-.
ssnted to Hin, And Any conErsi.man
Who Goes Back ON Him Forever
At.sr Lose. Hls Confidence.

wAsHIso7os, D. O., July 15.-The Pres.
ident's habit Of seeking information with
regard to men and public Affairs from other
than customary official sources has already
become matter of considerable comment.
Recently a prominent business man in
one Of the Middle States, whose name Is
unknown in politics, became personally
interested in the proposed transfer Of an
official from one post TO another
and wrote to the President, giving
his reasons in business mans
way for opposing the change, which rea-
sons were chiefly personal to the official,
the order for whose transfer had been is
sued. The President wrote in reply, that
he appreciated the validity Of the reasons
which had been given him and would
countermand the order for the transfer.
he also expressed wish TO meet his cor.
whenever the latter should
find himself in Washington.
A brief friendly correspondence grew
out Of the incident, and the gentleman
who had business at Washington on a re-
cent Saturday called at the White House
Although new cnstom excluded visitors
on that day, the caller was cordially
greeted. The President sat for an hour
converting with him, and spoke freely
upon many general matters OF public pol
icy. He expressed q determination to.
have none but good men in Office, and.
said with some emphasis that when pol
itician deceived him in making 4 recon-,
mendation TO Office, that would end that
mans influence with this Administration.
Among the topics referred 70 more par
ticularly was the selection OF Collector
Hedderi for the port Of New York. The
President Ia reported TO have said that
this was not made in compliance with the
suggestion oriwishesof any politician or
political organization, but with view OF
meeting as fast as possible the views
Of the business men. To ascertain
what these yiews were, he THE
President) had first sat on foot q
private inquiry among the business men
10 sec whom they would like to have IN
the place. In this way Mr.. Hedden's
name was brought to the Presidents at
tention and thereafter the inquiry pur-
sued wasmerely to ascertain ithis appoint
ment would be acceptable. The result
was strongly affirmative and the appoint
ment followed. The President said he
was giving personal attention TO the mat-
ter OF appointments and that the per-
sonal illness OF the applicant was the ihrst,

OF tho Treasury Makes some ;Hsmafks on
Secretary slannins's Action.
[ WASHINGTON, D. O., July l5.-Juilge
Durham, First Comptroller Of the Treas
ury, has made the following statement to
the Secretary Of the Treasury inr regard to
a recent decision rendered by him. On
the Goth Of June the Hon. +. W. switzler,
Chief Of the Bureau OF Statistics, ad-
dressed you letter, in which he pro-
pounded three questions. Among them
was the following: "Is the Secretary Of
the Treasury authorized to appoint and
employ five copyists allowed the Bureau
Of Statistics by the Appropriation Act ap-
proved March Sd, 1885, for the fiscal year
ending Jufid 50, 1885, at the annual salary
Of $40 or less each, and thus enable the
Department to select such copyists from
persons qualified as such who have not
undergone the civil service examination?' z
That letter was referred tome July l3,
by The hon. q. 8. FairChild, Assistant
Secretary OF the Treasury, ior my opinion.
On the same day ! answered said question
az follows; | think the Secretary Of the
Treasury has the right to make such selec-
ton from persons who have not UNDER
gone the Civil Service examination. In
examining the Civil Service law With the
ruiea and regulations Of the Commissioners,
together with the classification made BY
the Secretary OF the Treasury OF clerks
coming within the pHfyiev Of said law |
am satisfied that It was not idteudeG 10 In
clude the copyists referred toia tbetneuiry.
There Is now no doubt in my mind as TO
the correctness Of that opinion, but my
attention hss been called to that portion
OF the Appropriation Act Of March 3, 1880,
In which said copytsts are prog 9Ided tor,
and / find that the sum Of $500 Is SLOWED
10 each and not ST20 as stated in the In
ouiry. desire now to say Il my opinion
had been asked IS 10 Ehether tho copyists
provided for in said aet, the sum OF
$500 TO each being therein appree ertsted,
Iwould have said that under the clasdii-
cation made by tho Treasury: Department,
said copyists would come within the
classification and civil servleeiags Why
Mr.. Switzler In his question saId, "saIaEs
of $40 or less" when $500 Is provided for
in the appropriation, | cannot say. I desm
II iust to YOU and myself TO make this exr
iplanation and statement, t.f

at 3:45 the patrolmen were ordered
home to rest preparatory to going on duty
tonight. They started down E!na street
and met the striken. They turned and
double quicked it TO the mill. They were
hooted at and stoned by the strikers.
Deputy Superintendent Mcmahon gave
the order TO. fall In and line was formed
about thirty feet fromIthe mill gate.
The mob approached and alcMahon
asked what was wanted. One Of the lead
era replied that they were determined TO
close the mill. The police officer argued
with them brt to no purpose. The men
In the rear ranks began TO throw stones.
There was considerable hard tall, 8 push
aud then arush. The police advanced and
the two forces met. The strikers threw
stones, Stag and 'ciniefs, and fourished
their clubs. The policemen used their rmaces
and drove the strikers back inch by inch.
The strikers fell by the score, or reeled
away with blood streaming from their
faces. They pouredia terrific Shower OF
stones, however, into the police, who
could not use their clpbs 70 any adyan:
tage. Finally they fell back very rapidly
and the police seeing their opportunity
charged on a run, yelling as they went.
The whack OF their maees could be heard
for a long distance.
Fallen strikers lined Rna street and
their wives and sweethearts bore them
away. as fast as possible.
The mob broke and ran SO hard it was
pushed, but the police kept up an untir-
ing whack until every. striker was driven
out Of sight OF the mill. The result OF the.
baltic was as follows: ny go

the DETAILS
OF the Battle Between the Mob and the
sf Pofian.

"a ..
OF the Battle Between the Mob and the
CLEVELAND, July 15.-The anticipated
collision between the strikers and -peliee
occurred this afternoon at 4 O'clock. N
meeting was held in Newburg and several
reporters who entered we're sayageIy
thrown out. After the meeting seven
hundred men, mostly Poles and Bohe-
mians, formed into line and marched 10
the plate mill, which was in operation.
The men in the plate mill are not effect
ed by the reduction and were opposed
to stopping work in the flrst place. They
were forced out finally by the foreigners
and remained idle until yesterday, when
the mill resumed operations. The
mob increased in numbers as Il progress
ed, and when it arrived at the mill it
aggregated at least 1000 men. The
strikers were armed with clubs studded
with nails, pieces ofiron andilarge stones.
The fifty policemen on duty were sup
piled with maces twenty-five inches long
and seli-acting reyolyers. They were sit
uated at the Ktna street entrance o,the
mill yards. A picket fence fifteen feet
high encloses the grounds. Thegate was
open and near It were the police. Esna
street at this point is 90 feet wide and is
paved with cinders from the neighboring
furnaces. Thirty-iour additional police
men were scattered through the mill.

No sooner was the rebel fire opened
upon us, than it was all up with Jerry
he was right; he could not stand it. He
had moved back into the ranks in obedi-
ence to my orders, but at the first volley
from the rebel line he seemed to lose his
senses. He crouched together like a
hare, turned and was creeping to the
rear. But intercepted him with my re-
volver cooked and pointed:
Corporal Dayton, your only chance of
life is in the ranks. One step more, and,
so help you God, blow your brains outr'
He Strengthened himself up to his full
height, leaning backward and mechani-
cally putting out his hand for the mo-
ment, his lesser fear of the rebel fire
seemed frozen out by his greater dread
OF my own threatening weapon.
He looked at me with great, pleading
eyes, in which entreaty, shame and cow
ardice seemed contending, and with a
sad, lifeess look of resignation to his fate.
completely at odds with his former
trembling cowardice, he cried:
"lou'ye killed me, Lieutenant-you've
killed me :"
No sooner had he uttered this cry, and
with the look of patient brute driven
to the shambles, had turned toward the
enemy, than his nusket fell from his
grasp, his huge frame crashed together
like a giant Of the forest beneath the
woodman's axe, close at my very feet,
and his upturned face showed me a small,
round hole, pierced by a rebel buckshot,
in one corner of his forehead, from which
thick blood was slowly oozing while his
hands clutched and snapped the dry
twlgs which lay upon the earth, in the
last convulsive struggle, his eyes rolled
upward for an instant before they glazed
over, and then half closed and his feat
ures closed in the ghastly stare of death.

How are Women and Girls to Earn
LIVING?
BY FRANCES J. DYER.

BY FRANCES ]. DYER.
In reply to this question asked in a re-
liglous exchange and there calledan in
soluble enigma" would suggest. III the
first place, that women and girls must be
educated to more sensible views on this
whole subject of selt-support. When they
are willing to regard an honest employ
ment with favor and will refrain from
silly determinations between work that is
''ladylike' and work that is :vulgar. p"
doors OF usefulness will open on every
hand.
Scarcely month passes in which am
not importuned, both personally and by
Letter, to assist girls III getting ''some
thing to do on newspaper" Which
vague expression, when analyZed,i is found
to be desire to write articles, and never
a wish to learn type-setting, or to DO any
of the routine drudgery which is an essen
tial part of newspaper life These young
women usually point to Miss Phelps, or
Miss Ac0tt, or Mary l.. Booth. as illus
trations OF how easy it is to command
high wages as an author or editor; they
taSten their eyes on the present position
of these distinguished writer's, but over
look entirely the long and thorny road of
earnest effort by which they have attain
ed such an eminence. Probably every
reader of this article who is in position
to give employment can testify to the fact
that hundreds apply for and expect to re
celVe places at the top, without any pre-
yious training, but who quite resent any
proposition to begin at the foot of the
ladder.
Now, to the women and girls who are
honestly desirous to earn their living IN
ways that are not crowded with appli-
cants, | would like to offer few sugges-
tions, founded upon cases which have
come under my own observation. First,
there is the Training School for Nurses
Three years ago young lady graduate
of Western college entered the lists in
the Boston City Hospital to learn the art
OF nursing She took her place with the
others, claiming no tavOrs because of su
penor education or social advantages,
submitted to the necessary discipline
without mnrmur, and performed the
unpleasant duties with the same cheer
ful spirit as the more agreeable tasks. At
the end of two years she received her
diploma, and. what is more to the point,
fattering offer from the superintendent
TO fill position of peculiar honor and
responsibility. Declining this, however,
she returned West to apply her knowl-
edge in even broader field of influence.
And yet, when this branch of usefulness
is recommended to the average girl, she
rejects it with scorn.
Only last week it was my privilege to
have an interesting conversation with a

more pure cussedness than ever originated in
the mind of Il mother-in-aw. As incredible as
this statement may seem it is undoubtedly a
fact. There are many other animals more
graceful in their movements. others that pos

take the palm from the broncho for making life

he has no equal. Let me give bit of advice to
