wits to work to devise means to oust the in- truder upon his comfort. Pretty soon the Englishman touched the call button, and when the summons was answered said:
 ''Portah, bring me pair of large clean towels"
 The door was hardly closed when the Frenchman touched the the button, ,and upon the boys appearance, said:
 "Garcon, bring me two pair large clean towel''
 The other frowned performed his ablutions, followed by the Frenchman, whsn he again touched the button.
 "Portah, send me up bottle of Bass ale"
 Frenchman followed suit at once, demand ing 1.-two bottel Bass ale." The Englishman was now annoyed, but he held his peace, and little later made another call upon the DOT ter which was immediately double duplicated by the Frenchman. Then he began to lose his temper, and after fourth demand and another-to him-insult from the Frenchman he struck the button so violently that the porter appeared again in hot haste.
 Boy" he said angrily, Ego to the pro- prietor at once and tell him I must have a bed in room by myself where can rest in peace."
 The boy had hardly reached the stairs when the Frenchman called him back, and gesticulating wildly made known his wants follows:
 'sGarcon, garcon, vii you tell ze proprie- taire to come yer quick? By gar,I moost hay two bed in two room yer can rest myself in two pieces"
 That settled the Englishman, and his tor mentor had the room to himself without fur ther trouble.

GEW HAVEN CONN., FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER IT, 1886.
says that the record of the next six months will create surprise

There is a great deal of Testimony" con-
 cerning the working of the prohibitory law in Kansas, but it is very conflicting. The latest is that gathered by Chicago pa per,
 which addressed to every probate judge in
 Kansas has the following questions: How does the number of saloons in your vicinity and the amount of beverage sold at this time compare with the number of sa looms and the sales prior to tine adoption of prohibition measures? What is the state of crime, par ticularly in the class of offenses which grow directly out of the Use of alcoholic beverages, as compared with the period preceding pro- hibition in Kansas? This inforns ton was sought from probate judges for the reason that these officials are directly concerned with the administrator of tho pro o5ibition law, and in conseqJa ae have exceptional op- portunites for aeriving at intelligent and definite conclusions, while f1om the nature of their offices and the consider ations influencing their election they may be regarded re6ecting the pre- vailing sentiment of their individual coun ties. Replies have been received from forty nine of these, or from more than one half of the entire number. Only five counties, Sher- idan, Ford, Clark, Republic and Harper, pro- nounced the law unqualifedly failure. In Kingman it is frankly admitted that the law is not enforced in Rush, Trego, Riley and Clay, although the replies rather in the nature of opinions, are almost all of those above mentioned, instead of statements of observed facts, they are rather favorable than otherwise. With these exceptions the answers show decrease in the use of intox- icating drinks in Kansas, ranging from 50 to 75 per cent, and in crimes and offenses growing directly out of the use ot such drinks decrease of from 50 to 90 per cent.

HE HUNG ON FOE LIFE.
Postal Clerk Soulhalrs Hide on the
 Mail Baa Catcher.

E all ftaS tatcheFs
 From the Lynchburg Newsi
 Night before last, when the eastern bound passenger train on the Norfolk and Western railroad reached Central, two of the United States postal clerks, B. W. Babcock and George H. Southall, left the car to get some thing to eat. leaving third man in the car Presently, however, the solitary clerk, like wise afflicted with hunger, left the car, lock ing the door after him, so that when Postal Clerk Southall returned he found the door fastened. Reaching up he unlocked the door, as he thought, and just then the train moved off with 8 jerk. MT. Southall grasped the appliances used to catch the mail of small postoffices where the train makes no stop and drew himself up into the car door; but when he attempted to enter the car he found the door secured. The train by this time was dashing along at lightning speed, and Southall, finding that nothing re- mained for him to do but to hold on to the mail catcher until the train reached New Riv- CT, the next station, or otherwise jump off and run the risk of losing his life, accepted the former situation as preferable and tight eped his grip on Che iron rod. The night was as cold as March blizzard could make it, and the wind played fantastic tricks with OOuG0allS JOCKS auu WulSCl0u UQrOuSQ ms garments after an uncommonly annoying fashion.
 The mental stress and the fear of being hurled with tremendous violence to the earth were bad enough, but in addition to have to grasp and hold on to a cold iron rod, with fingers cut and hands benumbed, is an expe- rience that no man need want to test. South all was equal to the occasion, however, and he embraced the iron rod with great tenacity until the train reached New River, when he quietly dismounted and modestly related his thrilling adventure to the trainmen- His fellow clerk, MT. Babcock, had ridden from Central to New River on the rear platform of the postal car. In relating the incident yes terday MT. Southall said he stood it pretty we'll until the train thundered across the New River bridge, land then thought,nn said he, eff the good Lord will see me through this time will join the Salvation army sure!n

PUBLIC OFFICE PUBLIC TRUST.

FOBLHC OFF1CE A FO HL1C TRUST Civil Service reform goes bravely on. It. has gone so far and so fast already that some of it's warmest adherents have not been able to keep up with it, and are beginning to
 grumble because it has got beyond them. Thus the New York Evening Post charac- terizes the removal of Mir. Coomps of Mary land, one of the four general appraisers of merchandise on the Atlantic coast, 'as very l nearly the worst offense chargeable against President Cleveland's administration" There seems to be some excuse for the Posts failure to understand this specimen of Civil Service reform. MT. Coombs held an important office. The Board of General Ap- praisers, of which MT. Coombs is member, is appellate court of customs service, their decision upon the questions brought before them being final. Experience and integrity are indispensable to the proper performance of the duties of General Appraiser, and it was generally admitted that Mir. .Coombs was a very valuable and right minded member of
 the board. He had the confidence and re-
 spect of the mercantile community. He was
 engaged in his duties when he received notice
 that his resignation was desired and that his
 
 telegraph whether he should resign at once or finish the business he was then at work
 upon. Receiving no answer, he resigned at once. The explanation of this is that the Senate was about to meet and the successor, if appointed before the beginning of the ses- sion, could draw his pay from the time of his appointment, but if there was no vacan- cy before the meeting of the Senate the new officer could not receive the salary of the office until his appointment had been con- firmed by the Senate. It was therefore nec- essary to dispose promptly of MT. Coombs, so that his successor need not wait for the profits of the office. This successor is de- scribed as "a political henchman." He is protege of Senator German and friend of Eugene Higgins, and though he don't know much about the work that he has been ap- pointed to do, he does know something about Democratic politics.
 It is evident that if the Post and some of the other firm friends of the reform want to keep up with it's progress they will have to
 be lively. The President is getting ahead of
 them, and the indications are that they do not exactly understand what he meant when he declared that public office is public trust

bewildered, and inquired if any reincarnated spirits of friends had appeared while she Was asleep. The first gentleman's wife tart ly guessed the medium knew we'll enough what had been going on. but the blonde opened her large blue eyes in innocent sur prise and said she hoped nothing unpleasant had occurred. The gentleman hastily as- sured her that nothing in the least disagree able had happened, but that the seance had been singularly interesting. The medium calmly told the company that she was utter ly oblivious of all that went on while she was in the trance, and manifested much in terest in description of the two reincarna- tions. The two disappointed gentlemen were encouraged to come again; they might see their friends next time if the conditions were favorable. No douot they will attend the next seance, because ghosts that kiss with warm lips not met with every day The new medium is making a great success of the reincarnation scheme, but there will be fuss in that establishment some fine evenii <.

Representative Long, of Massachusetts,
 criticises the House appropriation committee for its penuriousness with regard to certain appropriations, which, as he alleges, results in no genuine economy, but rather increases
 the final expenditures, as it deteriorates the public service. One specifics is that clerk is drawing the salary of superintend- ent in the Coast Survey service, and that the appropriation for this bureau is much below it's necessities. We suppose it is necessary for this administration to make a show of
 being economical, even if it isn't efficient. A promising scheme of charity goes into operation in Brooklyn this week. It is an attempt to furnish hot and substantial meals to the poor at a uniform price of one cent. The est. Luke's Coffee Station sosiety," as the association of ladies is called, an-
 nounces the bill of fare to be, for breakfast, | half pint of ccffee with sugar and milk and slice of bread; dinner, strong soup of meat and vegetables with bread; supper,
 half pint of oatmeal porridge and pure milk. The preliminary estimates are said to show | that this can be done and pay expenses ex- l cept the cost of the original outfit.
 Numerous instances have been recounted of late in medical journals of the complete reunion of portions of fingers which have | been cut off from the hand, in some cases by l the knife and in others by the axe. In one
 case a man in cutting kindlings for the
 morning fire accidentally cut off the end of his thumb. He had gone from the place | some twenty feet, when he returned, picked | up the end, wiped it and replaced it, bind l ing it in it's original place nearly possi- | ble. The wound united; and the finger is
 now as good as ever, save that it's sensibility l is somewhat diminished. In another case g boy chopped of the ends of three fingers. | He was by physician three or four l hours after the accident. The ends of the | fingers had been found in the snow and were
 brought to him. He attached them and two | of the three united.
 | Business in the South is dourishing. The
 Iron Age observes that week after week l brings announcements of the formation of
 companies to go into the iron manufacture
 in the South or of old concerns which are
 about to extend their works. In
 Birmingham (Alabama) district there are 1 ten new furnaces going up and two more are contemplated. One steel works of large 1 capacity is being built by de Bardeleben; 8
 second, smaller plant, is going up at Chat
 tanooga, and the Sloss company, at Birming-
 ham, have just completed their arrange
 ments to obtain funds for basic steel | works. The New Orleans Times Democrat | says that a variety of manufacturing enter
 prises calculated to work up the raw mate lrials are springing ,gup on every hand, and it
