Yesterday case was begun before
Judge Wilkin involving the title of a
horse. There were but six jurors left
in the venire, and counsel agreed to try
the case before the six.
Boz was sitting half asleep in his
chair chewing gum, when reporter
entered and asked:
''Why are they trying that case with
only six jurorS?"
''Well," said the comedian, ''inasmuch
as the action pending is horse case,
they are only expected to believe half
that the witnesses say, consequently
they only need half a jury" and with
this excellent bit of reasoning he fell

CONCLUDING rARAaRApus.

Among the concluding paragraphs OF the
report are the following:
The act entitled IAN act to regulate ana
improve tho civil service of the United
States has been IN force now nearly TOUR
years, and half the part of that time under
the administration of one party, and part
under tnat of another. That there has been
accomplished in the execution oi
tho law oil that its sanguine
friends expected is not claimed, but
without a degree of great inoxactness IN
the statement, it may be said that IN the
results of its execution i shown tho wisdom
OF the principle Of divorcing the Subord!-
nate officers of the government from pol-
ties and elections, and making continuance
in office dependent not upon n party, but
upon merit and good behavior.
WONDERFUL RESULTS.
In this respect the law has produced
results which are not extravagantly
described as surprising. The demoralizing
methods of the patronage system of ap-
pontments have been replaced within the
classified service 10y the better methods
of IA law under which the demands of com
mon justice are complied with, that in SO
far as practicable all citizens duly qualified
shall he allowed equal opportunity on the
grounds OF personal Fl moss for securing ap-
pointment and employment in the subordi-
nate civil service "The patronage system
Is utterly at variance with the genius and
spirit of our institutions, which will protest
against surrender to any party Of the in, er-
ests of tho nation, and refuse to consent that
this government shall ever become, what
the patronage system developed into full fru
ltlOn would make it. a government of Office
holders by Office givers for office seekers
The report was prepared by Commissioner
Oberly and signed by the three members Of
the commission, Mr.. Lyman dissenting
from the regulation of 1887 requiring GER
tifcation to the head Office of the whole list
of elgibles for promotion. The annual re-
port of the commission for the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1888, is in course of prepa-
ration and will probably be issued some
time in September.

SERVED IN BOTH ARMIES.
The President Vetoes a Novel Appli-
cation for a Pension.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-The President
to-day vetoed the bill granting pension to
Theresa Herbert, widow of John Herbert,
a private in a New York volunteer regi-
ment who was captured in August, 1865.
After his capture he joined the confederate
forces. and in 1885 was captured by Gen.
Stoneman while in arms against the United
States government. He was imprisoned
and voluntarily made known the fact that
he formerly belonged to the union army.
Upon taking the oath Of allegiance and
explaining that he deserted to the enemy
to escape the hardship and starvation of
prison life, he was released and mustered
out of service Oct. IL, 1865.
CONDEMNED BY THE PRESIDENT
OF Herbert the President says: HE was
regularly borne on the confederate muster
rolls for probably nine or ten months. No
record is furnished of the number OF battles
in which ne fought against the soldiers of
the Union and we shall never know the
death AID wounds which he inflicted upon
his former comrades i'll arms. He
never applied for pension,
though it is claimed now that
at the time of his discharge he was suffer
ing from rheumatism and dropsy, and that
he died in 1868 of heart disease II such
disabilities were incurred in the military
seivice, they were quite likely the result Of
exposu g III the confederate army, bat 1t is
not improbable that this soldier never
oskcd a pension because he considered at
IN generosity Of his government had been
sufficiently taxed when the full forfeit Of
his desertion was not asked.

FIRST REPORTS VERY WILD.
CHICAGO, July II, 1850 P. Mo an
Associated Press reporter Inspector Bon
field tonight consented to give a definite
authoritative statement as to the extent Of
the conspiracy, and said: ut is mistake
to suppose that the arrests to-day imply a
Wild spread, organized cabal. backed by
brains, or that public buildings were to be
blown up and reign of terror tempted
to be inaugurated. That is pure bosh, and

1t is sort of sporadic outbreak, and in

1t is because of tins circumstance that
their plot escaped notice somewhat, and
knowledge of it came to US in a roundabout
way. The Others are too well watched to
get so far. Too much is being made of this
matter. 1t is simply a harum-scarum, ill
matured plan by few persons, and so far
from contemplating reign of terror, blood
shed and arson by wholesale, meant merely
mischief, it is possible, to three persons
