Curious Historical Facts,

There are many curious facts in
American history, Here we have the
three Vice Presidents, Gerry, Hend-
ricks and Wilson, dying in November
at dates which might all come in a
single week. No President either in or
out of office has died in November,
though six have died in July and four
in June. Garfield died in September,
Lincoln in April, Taylor in July and
Harrison in April. Two Vice Presi.
dents have been indicted for treason.
These were Aaron Burr and John c.
Breckenridge. One Vice President,
John C. Calhoun, has resigned his
office, and seven men have held both
Presidential and Vice Presidential
chairs. John Adams, Washington's
Vice President, succeeded him in the
White House. Jefferson, Adams Vice
President, did likewise, and Martin Van
Buren,, one of Jackson's Vice Presi.
dents, was his successor. The other
five became President by death They
were Tyler, Fillmore, johnson and
Arthur Carp. in Cleveland Leader.

A BOYS APPETITE
The Capacity of a Typical Youth fur Gull

The capacity OF Iypicai YOUTH tpr CulL
nary Products,
"Do YOU see that boy over there"
asked a gentleman in one of our large
mercantile establishments to the writer,
the other day, pointing to a lad of about
twelve years, chubby" rosy-checked,
bright and handsome, who filled the
responsible position of office boy.
Eyes, see and know him." was the
response. "He is nice little fellow"
well, sir, Twill back that youngster
to out-do any three lusty men in this
big house in the matter of eating, His
capacity seems boundless. l will give
you two or three instances by which
you can Judge if am not right. Free
qucntly in the busy season number of
us are compelled to remain here late at
night, sometimes all night A short
time ago this was the case, and of our
Office force four stayed, in addition to
Fatty as we call the boy. He brought
a bountiful lunch with him, which he
got away with early in the evening.
Later on a good lunch was sent in for
the four of us, but we were too busy to
eat it. Fatty took charge of it and
kept at it until nothing remained but
the bare plates. He then helped some
of the other men in the store dispose of
their sandwiches andretired to a lounge
in the private Office to take a nap. He
experienced no worse effect from this
gorge than an attack of nightmare,
during which he made all sorts of
noises, until finally he aroused himself
by falling off on the floor.
"On another occasion the proprietor
sent Fatty on an errand to his residence.
The boy arrived just as the family were
sitting down to lunch, and, being a IA
vorite there as here, was asked to par
take. He did so very willingly, and
ate as long as there was anything left
to eat. When he got back his employ
er asked him if he had had his dinner,
and he said he hadn't. He>was given
money to go to restaurant, and there
made very hearty repast. The pro-
prietor learned at home of Fatty's WON
derful gastronomic exploit, and the
next day called him up and said:
Fatty, why did you tell me that lie
yesterdayp' What lie?' asked the boy.
You told me you had not had dinner,
when you had got it at my house.
%, that was only a lunch, he ex-
planned
"Once again the little gourmand was
sent to the managers house, and, with
his usual luck, struck it at meal time
He ate and ate till he had finally to take
of belt he wore, after first letting it
out as far as he could. I'll back him
to get away with peck of apples any
day, besides other fruit, popcorn and
boyish mscellanies in the food and
sweetmeat line generally. And he
isn't much ahead of other boys as re-
CARDS eating, so far as have observed.
They are all healthy feeders, and rare
ly, if ever, refuse anything to eat. ~

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Feb. g. A fear
full explosion has just occurred at the
Bessemer steel works. The i'm
mense boilers of the concern have
given way with fearful crash, tear
ing the boiler room to pieces.
An indescribable scene of terror
and confusion ensued. The con-
densing steam prevented the men
from seeing where they could es-
cape; the cries, groans and shrieks
of the wounded and dying, the ter
ror and panic of the survivors made
the place veritable pandemonium.
Fifteen corpses have already been
taken out, and 20 men are more or
less seriously injured.

THE NEW CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
Modesty is not one of President Cleve-
lands crowning virtues. He does mt hesitate
to bear witness to his own alleged good
qualities Whether or not he canddly believes
all the nice little things he is pleased to say of
himself is, however, matter of small impOr-
tance The question of vital concern is his right
to believe them. He has made no profession
with so much warmth and apparent candOr as
that of sincere intention to carry out the Civil
Service Reform law. When in the discharge of
that duty it devolved upon him to appoint a
new Commission, we were ast0ni5hed at his
choice of an ancient Indiana Bourbon, whose
public record, brief and insignificant even in
its prime had ended a quarter of century ago,
and whose history was that of hide-b bound
party man, together with a South Carolina
banker of ordinary anteccdents, and Dorman
B. Eaton. 1t had become notorious that Mr.
Eaton was a failure so far as practical Organl-
zation was concerned which is, and will be for
dozen years to come, the great work before
the Commission. Every true friend of the re-
form felt that his reapDOntment with two un-
known persons whose affiliations so far as could
be learned were all with the spoils system was
about the worst blow to reform that the Presi-
dent had it in his power to deliver.
Several months passed by during which the
new Commissioners were supposed to be sitting
at the feet Of Gamaliel Eaton learning the
A, B, Cs of reform On the principle that an
old dog can't be taught new tricks, Commits
sioner EdgertOn seemed to getalOng but poorly.
Mr. Trenholm, however, took considerable in
terest in the new doctrine, and the friends Of
Al fnr ha hnnu oi homes
he would prove a valuable support to its opera
ton. Now, just when he has become fairly
well informed as to what is expected OF him, he
is quietly removed to another Office Mr.. Eaton
had considerably resigned, and the Commits
sion was left with only the ancient HOosier to
guide its destinies. TO supply these places the
President made his usual move of pltting a
good nomination against bad one. He chose
the secretary of the old Commission, Mr.. Ly-
man, to fill one place and an Illinois politician.
a confirmed Office seeker, for the other. lie has
thus made Commission IN which Mr.. Lyman,
the only good member, is tied up and rendered
powcress by TWO Democrats who are up to
their eyes in partisan politics. Neither Of them
has ever been a friend of the reform. One is
old and wears the JacksOnan cOlors. The other
runs Mr. MorrisOns political machine i'll llli-
nos. Now. in the name OF all that is manly
and honest, what sort of reform is this If the
President wishes to deserve his own apprecia-
tive praises, is there any appointment about
which he would exercise more care than that
of a Civil Service Commissioner Ii is unfOrt-
innate for Mr.. Cleveland that the people are un-
able to take him at his own valuation. BY his
fruits they must know him.
