Runs HIS Office Square.
THE REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATION.
They Make Some Pretty Tart Re

port and Gives tfis Enemies
Scorching Handling.

WAsmSoI0s. Oct 30 THE report of The
Commission Oi pos,oilce Inspectors. ap-
pointed to investigate the a16rs of ihe
Philadelphia posicaiee. was made public
today. The documea, shows hat an elaD-
crate and an exhaustive ineestigaii ol ala
the charges maie against Postmaster liar
rty Was made 1y t..e commission. ani ia
the main they exOneralf hun. The docl
ment sets forth kDat most of the
allegations were baseisa, and that the few
that the INVESTIGATION proved true Wee tle
result OF mistakes on tue part Of C.d eli-
ployes that The sum expended for clerical
assistance is much less IN proportion to the
gross ncome than u many other important
pOstOt. ces, that three fJuTths OF the force Of
the forLler lcunbent are still en-
ployed; that important divisions are
still managed Oy able superiatendents Of
long pOstOlhce experience. The following
criticism is made: '"rhc Postmaster has esi-
dently Assumed to fix the Number Il clerks
Of the excepted classes a.. q mach larger
figure (36) than is warranted by the laws
and rules Of the Civil Service Com
mission, and the Commission recommends
that the Postmaster be instructed
tha; the excepted class ia lis Office must
fall as far below 20 Per cent. as possible
The commission further recommends 8
thorough reorganization Of the money order
division. and change Of superintendent,
the appointment of additional clerks in the
mailing division, and the reduction oi cieri-
cai assistance i'm the station. TO he report is
appended the reply Of Postmaster Harri,y.

suggestions and advice Jf Civil service
Commissioner Eaton in his action relative
10 the excepted classes, that the suggestion

because there are tWelty-eight F'atiOns 10
Philadelphia, and as each one has

THE THIRD PARTY.
w. I. Mills Speaks on Prohibition in
Luce's Hall.


Luce's Hall.
A large and enthusiastic audience listened
with wrapt attention 10 the eloquent address
delivered by " r. Mills il Luce's Hall last
evening. Mr.. Mills, who is Of the editorial
ssad of the New York Voice, is very short in
stature, bat not withstanding his diminutive
size is very effective speaker, and made a
decided impression on his hearers. He
said: we are TO talk on the relation OF
the American work shop to the American
gr0g-shOp. The industrial life of the cOun-
try is opposed 10 the saloon, just SO much
as the industrial element has studied the
subject The grangers, churches, and great
organizations of labOrers are opposed 10
saloons. The Knights of Labor are all
headed by temperance men. They allow 20
saloon keeper in their organization because
the saloon keeper Is not producer on
can't afford 20 trIst a political party that
has liquor interest in L. There are good
many men here who work in furniture
factories every time q man buys 800 worth
of furniture 20 bless his home he blesses the
laboring element S2373 worth, every time
man blys 500 worth Of whisky 70 drink he
puts ti33 into the hands Of the lsDOung
man. There are seventeen million isb0rers
and one million ouf of employment The
market Is rlutted with goods. IL the AM
erican laDoIer furnished lis house 81 vel. as
the sai0Or Man there would he employ
raert for the factories for a long time 10
come The trouble is not between the
aborng men and the monopolists, il is
between the laDorins man and la5oring
man Within the last decade The average
veaiv wace- of the American lahorer has

Advice to Gentlemen.

The following article has been
sent us with the request TO publish
it. We trust it does not apply to
any of the relatives or friends: AL
low me to give some advice TO gem
TENED from twenty to forty years
of age, who can see so many faults
IN the opposite sex and none IN
their own. As it has now become
fashionable for gentlemen TO ex-
press publicly their disapprobatlon
of the dress, manners, habits and
education of the female community
at large, | think we ladies, is Justice
TO ourselves, are now called upon
to retaliate, and also should be
permitted to make public our opin-
ions of the sort of men which we
would, and would not like to mar
ry. The moral, sensible, steady,
industrious, honorable man, who
can work for a living, besides put
ting his hands TO any little manly
job about his own house, such as
mend Il chair or table, paint door,
plaster tire-grate, whltewash the
ceiling, paper the bedroom, clean
his own boots, and be 4 gentleman
withal IN company, is just the sort
of man for mo or any sensible lass
to marry. But your emptyhcaded,
seIf-conceIted, starch-necked, cigar
smoking, brandy-drinking, money
hunting, lady-kil.ing, lazy, loung-
ing, selfish, plotting, scheming,
mean, deceiving, pomatum plaster
ed animals, who call yourselves
Lord of Creation, you're no more
fit for matrimony than spider is
to command q regiment. The fact
is, my dear fellows, you want, gen.
orally speaking, more common
sense and less puppyism, more
knowledge and less foppery, more
manliness and less impudence,
more honor and less faIsehood,
more brains and less mustache,
Shave off your mustaches and be
more like men and less like mon
keys; throw away your cigars and
walking-stIck, take q useful book
into your fingers and try if you
can pick up bit ofcommon know
ledge, so that in time you may
learn to be what the God of Nature
designed. l submit the above to
the Albert-chained, wash-pinned
brass-ringed, false-fronted, gam
bling. horsebetting paragons ofwit,
fashion and frlvolity who are look
ing out to catch any rich woman
who could be fool enough TO marry
them. And, seriously speaking, it
is much to be deplored than such
creatures as these, without af'ec-
ton, knowledge, means, OF useful
capabllity whatever, should be
selected for usbands, and change
in this order of things is a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished for.

WOman's Inhumanity to her Seq

A young woman who served on
q sentence of five years in the
Maine state prison, found means o;
education, and, becoming thor
Oughly reformed, left the prison il
appearance q lady. She was EN-
ployed by dry goods firm in Port
land as saleswoman and gave per
feet satisfaction to her employers
till one day wealthy lady of the
place entered the store and recog
nIzed her. Calling the proprietor
aside, she told him that the girl
had been in State prison. He re-
piled that he knew 1t, but that she
had done her work faithfully, and
they were satisfied with her
"Well," SAID the lady, ''if you keep
her in your store l will neither
trade with nor suffer any of my
friends TO if L can help it." So thiE
proprietor, rather than lose hel
customers, called IN the poor girl
and discharged her. A merchant
who would do an act of this kind
ought to be sent to the penitentlary
himself. People, and especially
of society, are ever ready to cast a
stone at those who are compelled
to work for living, and there are
few cases on record a fallen woman
has been aided in her attempts to
rise, while the annals of the world
are filled with the SANDER of in
nocent girls who, in nine cases out
of ten, are more pure and charita-
BILE than their slanderers.

Gently travelling on 4 coast lin,

on his arrival at Victoria called al
. drug store to purchase something
for a dlsordered stomach, felt him,
self at home, he said, when he saw
several boxes OF S. S. on the
counter OF the drug store. The
proprietors told him that Swift's
Specific was one of the staple ar
ticles IN his trade.
Il have found the wonder OF the
nineteenth century" remarked a
man from Ohio Il few days ago to
one OF our druggists, "and it is n
proprietor of a patent medicine
who told me that his remedy was
not suitable to my case, and ad-
viscd me not to take it. | called
Mt the libratory of the Swift Speci-
fic Company, and consulted their
physician with the above result. 1
was convinced so thoroughly that
their Specific is Il good medicine
that bought a case and sent it to
my cousin, who has the scroiula.
They told me it would cure scro-
fula, and believe 1t to be true
s. S. S. is a harmless remedy.
1t is Il reliable remedy for all dis

out through the pores of the skin.
1t Is now sold IN dry form, and can
