 The Temperance Delegates Fall an Easy
 Prey to Thieves-Campaign Plans.
 INDIANAPOLIS, June 2-Most of the dele gates to the national Prohibition convention, have departed, perfectly satisfied with results. even those men who made such stubborn fight against recognition of women suffrage Ex-Governor St John made a model pre- siding officer, and displayed rare ability in controlling the convention, which at times was exceedingly turbulent.
 Sam Small, in declining to run for vice. president, got himself heartily laughed at Col Bain, ill declining to run, had remarked that "out of regard for his dear wife, h. could not do so. Sam Small said: .I have great sympathy srith Col. Bain; have the same loving, tender wife that he has, p the delegates roared with laughter, while Col Bain ijokingly shook his fist at Small who, when allowed to proceed, explained that he meant the same kind of a wife.
 The thieves plundered the delegates and at the Grand hotel several rooms were entered. Two Massachusetts delegates lost respectively $39 and SIPS, a New Jersey man SIPS, and 6 westerner s65.
 A meeting of the newly elected national committee was held, and Professor Samuel Dickie, of Wisconsin, was reelected chair man; J. A. Hobbs, of Chicago, was chosen secretary, and $. D. Hastings, of Wisconsin, treasurer. Extensive campaign plans were perfected, and a great amount of business was done in the interests of the third party.

suPr MORSE GAINED.

His Old Employees Present Him With
 Many Useful Articlcs-The New Mill to
 be Located in Bridgeport.
 No better illustration of the fact that foreman can be just to his employers and at the same time gain the respect and esteem of his employees, can be presented than occurred yesterday evening at the residence of c. $. Morse, the retiring su- perintendent of the Scovill Manufacturing company's brass and wire mills. A dele gation consisting of c. Kimball, T. Finne- gan and 5. Kennedy from the North rolling mill, and I. B. Newcombe, J. w. Filling and J. H. Donovan from the South rolling mill, and J. H. Roper from the Wire mill, presented MT Morse, on behalf of his old employees, with splendid bookcase and secretary combined, 8 writing set, chair, gold-headed cane, and watch, chain and charm.
 Ira B. Newcombe made the presentation speech in his usual happy manner, and his description of the various uses to which the article might be turned was so interspersed with wit and fun, that it made those present wish the audience larger to enjoy It. He is certainly no amateur in the busl- ness MT Morse taken so completely by surprise as he was, made very feeling re- sponse and expressed his regrets at parting with men who so practically showed their appreciation of him. Short speeches fol lowed by other members of the delegation, and after some pleasant chat they retired, the whole affair going to show what might be the state of affairs if more of those em ploying help were like c. s. Morse.
 The new factory in which MT Morse is interested as stock holder as we'll as superintendent will be located in Bridge port, for which ground will soon be broken and building operations commenced. It will cover an area of some 65, ,OOO square feet and everything in connection with it will be of the most improved material and best designs.
 When MT Morse took charge of the busi- ness which he is now leaving things were at a pretty low ebb, but by strict attention and good management he raised it to it's present high standard, fact which speaks volumes for what he will do in connection with the new enterprise.

Dom Pedro's Illness.

MILAN, June 2-Emperor Dom Pedro's illness is case of incurable diabetes and BraziI's ruler has not long to live. He ap- pears stronger from time to time, but this temporary strength is due to the frequent in jections of caffeine and the strychnine, which are the only means of alleviating his pain and arresting the progress of the disease Each repetition of this method of relieving the patient, however, weakens the effect of the drugs, and soon even these will cease to do him any good. It is impossible for the emperor to continue long in this manner, for his brain and nerves are already affected.

Hold Over Republicans.

One of the most serious drawbacks to
the smooth operation of the civil service
law has bt en- the malingering partisanship
of Republican employees, who, kept in their
places by liberal willingness to test the
merits Of the new system, have not done
their duty with heartiness. The manage
ment of the postoffce in this city, for ex-
ample, was at the outstart much embar-
rassed by lack of that esprit de corps
which is essential to proper service. The
old employees had not been chosen under
civil service rules, and represented in
their own persons the consummate flower
of the spoils system. President Cleve-
land makes it apparent in his late mes
sage to congress that this unpleasant fea
ture in the working of the law has not es-
capped his observation He SAYS: Those
responsible for the administration of the
government in its executive branches
have been and still are often annoyed and
irritated by the disloyalty to the service
of employees who remain in places as the
beneticiaries and the relics and reminders
of the vicious system of appointment
which civil service reform was intended
to displace Officials whose intense par
tisanship has led them to forget that they
are the servants of the whole people. in
