READING THEIR FACES.
How the President Judges the Qualifi-
lions of Omce-Seekers.

President Harrison is a physiognomist He
has much confidence, it is said in his ability to
read character through the expressions of the
human face. While the throng of eager office
seekers press upon him and pour their argu-
ments into his ear, fondly hoping to convince
the court by an ex parte statement of their
cases, the President is carefully reading their
countenances. In this way he forms an idea Of
the men he has to deal with.
Mr.. Harrison has been a Senator himself and
knows how it is with them in this matter of en-
dorsement. He knows how they are cajoled or
coerced into recommending parties for APP
pointment of whom they know little or have
little confidence in. He consults the congress-
men of his party, but has almost as much con-
tidence in his own judgment of human nature
as in their recommendations. When he has
studied mans face and cross-questioned him,
II the impression made is not favorable it would
take great deal of argument and very strong
influence to make him think favorably of the
man for appointment. There is a man now in
Washington who is being recommended in the
strongest possible manner for a certain very
important appointment. While he may be
suited for the position there is something in his
face and manner that is the reverse of that of
the ideal man for this Office of dignity. One of
his prominent supporters, who is an astute per-
son, was quick to recognize that his friend
would not make good impression upon the
physiognomist at the White House. He init
mated as much to the candidate. and that gen.
tleman, although he has been here since the
4th of March, has never called at the White
House nor let the President know of his pres
ence at the capital.
Mr.. Harrison is an accomplished cross-ex-
aminer. He acquired this at the bar, and has
quite reputation in the Indiana courts for the
sharpness of his questions What he can't
make out of the candidates face he endeavors
to learn by cross-questioning his hackers.
When Senator or member goes to recommend
the appointment of constituent to some office.
Mr.. Harrson's first aim is to ascertain, by care
fully put questions whether or not the Senator
or member is really very anxious about the
matter Satisfied as to this, he proceeds to dis
cover his motive in asking the appointment and
whether he really knows the man. All this is
done by diplomatic questions. Mr.. Harrison
remembers what he learns by this examination
of the multitudes. A hundred cases are brought
to his attention each day, but he seldom knows
what he will do in any of them until the mo-
ment he is about to act He then sends for the
papers in a certain case. AS he reads over these
his personal impression of the candidates goes
long ways toward influencing the selection.

LIFE IN A NEW LAND.
Various Incidents of the Rapid Settle
ment of Oklahoma

ST. LOUIS, April 24.-The following items
are taken from various Oklahoma correspond
ence: About three miles west of Guthrie there
was duel between man who had been sleep
ing in the brush for the last two
or three weeks and another man who came
through on the first train. 1t is said that the
man who had been hiding in order
to jump the claim, ordered his
rival off, and on his refusal to go levelled a
Winchester and fred three bullets into his
body.
Over in the new town of Noble Deputy
Martin says the scenes were the most exciting
he ever witnessed. Texas cowboys and half
breeds mounted on the fieetest ponies that could
be procured started on a dead run with Win
chesters In their hands. Their horses were
urged to the greatest possible speed
and equal interest in the chase. These
men were employed by wealthy Texas
cowboy, and within few hours after noon they
had their own government organized, mayor
and city officers elected and the new town has
1,5O0 inhabitants.
At the town meeting in Guthrie yesterday it
was resolved to make all town lots 25x14O, all
streets so feet and all alleys 20. motion
to resurvey all lots and streets and
apportion them among bona-tide settlers was
carried. This was designed to dislodge COM
panies which have put employees on several
lots. The Oklahoma hardware company
had twelve lots reserved but relin-
pushed six to avoid trouble. Town officers are
to be elected this evening. The city now covers
three sections, or six times the reserved town.
site.
Speculation in lots is already high. Several
have changed hands two or three times al
ready. Many are held at $1,000 each and
some have sold for $500.

HE MUST KNOW 1T ALL.
The Qualifications Required to Earn a
Salary of $3.50 Year.

The United States government, through the
CIVIL service commission, is hunting all over
the United States for computer. The govern
ment wants man who knows all about analyt-
lcal geometry and logarithms and the semi
parameter of the minor axis. That is all he
need know, so the government offers him sal
airy OF $3.50 year, with chance Of promotion
to $500. If he were competent to copy letters
into book, or write briefs on jackets, it would
not pay him to apply for this place, as he might
go in and get a clerkship that would pay him
from $1,000 to 1880 year. Civil Service
Commissioner Lyman almost despairs of filling
this place of computer. The vacancy is in the
Nautical Almanac office and the appointee will
have to compute occultations and make up
ephemeris tables. Mr.. Lyman has applied to
college professors and others for lists OF young
men who might be tempted by the offer Of $3.50
a year. but so far has had no success The col
lege boy, when he looks over the ground. is
likely to prefer messengers place. There is
one advantage the place has and that is that it
Is permanent Computers are so hard to get
that heads of bureaus do not remove them from
Office recklessly
Mr.. Lyman told O STAR reporter that the poor
pay of such employees who are required to have
knowledge Of the higher mathematics, as con-
trasted with the compensation of ordinary
clerks, is one result of the long continuance of
the system of appointments through political
favor. 1t is hardly necessary to say that Mr.
Lyman is a civil-service reforner. The offices,
which the ordinary political worker could FILL
were provided with comfortable salaries. The
ordinary political worker does not trouble him
self about the parameter of the minor axis. The
computer never amounted to much in politics,
and hence he was given a salary that taxed his
ability to the utmost in computing how he could
make 1t cover his expenses.
Some time ago the ordnance bureau of the
NAVY department called for a clerk who. be-
sides ordinary clerical qualification in return
for his $500 year, had to compute the center
| of gravity of all the new guns as to deter
mine where to place the trunnions.

Making the Goth National Holiday

In his proclamation relative to the 3Oth of
April the President, in pursuance of the act
Of Congress passed on March last, called on
the people of the United States to assemble at
their places of worship and give thanks for
the blessing showered on them since Washing
toms Inauguration.
The wording of the proclamation was such as
to make the day one Of thanksgiving and not
IA national holiday" thus preventing all per
diem employees of the government receiving
pay for the holiday, though obliged to absent
themselves from work. In order that all per
diem employees of the United States may re-
ceive pay for that day the President has issue
an amendatory order making the 30th a ma
tional holiday

Taxation of Canadian Cars.

OTTAWA, ONT, April 24.-The minister of
customs was yesterday shown a dispatch from
Washington having reference to the proposed
imposition of duty on Canadian cars in use in
the United States. He said he thought the state
ment that there are 5000 Canadian cars
in constant use on United States roads must
apply to cars which are kept constantly in the
United States. and not to those that pass in
and out of that country. The practice is when
cars are brought into Canada and taken into
the United States they are not returned as
they should be. Making them pay duty will
put stop to this practice, which has prevailed
for long time
