NEW HAVEN CONN, THURSDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 5,

Chairman Stockbridge of the selectmen refused to sign druggist's license. The law requires tho signature of the chairman of the aelectmen. After the license had been granted to the druggiss Mr. Stockbridge re- signed his office of chairman rather than sign it. The others have not accepted his resignation. and now the druggist brings suit to compel MT. .Stockbridge to sign. It is admitted on both sides that Mir. Stockbridge resigned, but that no acceptance of his res ignation was made. Judge Allen holds in his decision that Mir. Stockbridge is chairman until his resignation is formally accepted and another chairman elected. The judge gave the other kelestmen chance to accept the resignation and elect successor by postpon- ing the case till Saturday. If they have not done so by that time it is understood that he will require the present chairman to fulfil the duties of his office.

Iarge,t Flower ,n ,he world.

In the farthest southeastern island ot the Philippine group, Mindinao, upon one or 1ts mountains, Parag, in the nei9hborhoOd of the highest peak on the island, the volcano Apo, a party of botanical and sthnographi- cal explorers found recently, ct the height ef twenty-five hundred feet above the sea level, . colossal foyer, says the Gardener. The discoverer, Dr. Alexander Sehadsnberg, could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw, buds of this flower. like gigantic brown cabbage heads. But he was still more as- tonished when he found a specimen in full bloom, fve-petaled flower nearly yard in diameter-as large as carriage wheel, in fact This enormous blossom was borne on sort of vine creeping on the ground. It was known by the native who accompanied Dr. Schadenberg, who called it bodo. The party had no scale by which the weight of the flower could be asoertained, but they improvised swinging scale, using their boxes and specimens as weights: Weighing these when opportunity served, it was found that single flower weighed over twenty-two pounds. It was impossible to transport the fresh flower, 50 the travellers photographed 1t and dried a number of it's leaves by the heat of fire. Dr. Schadenberg then sent the photographs and dried specimens to the Royal Botanical Gardens, Breslsu, whore the learned director Immediately recognized 1t ss @ species of Raffiesia, plant formerly discovered in Sumatra, and named aftss the English Governor, Sir Stamford Rafaes. The new flower was accordingly named Rafdesia SchadenberRa. aThs five petals of this immense flower, are oval and creamy white, and grow around 8 0snter filled with countless long violet-husd stamens; thicker and longer in the fertile flower than in the ipfertile. .s,ss .s+se .

PROGRESS OF A GREAT REFORM

PROGRESS OF A GREAT nEFORM.
 The Presidents message and the report of the United States civil service commission indicate that civil service reform is by nc means 50 dead as some would have us be- lieve. The President said, among other things: "The reform of the oivil service will make no safe or satisfactory advance until the present law and its equal administration are we'll established in the confidence of the people. It will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to see that the law is executed with frmness and impartiality. If some of its provisions have been fraudulently evaded by appointing officers, our resentment should not suggest the repeal of the law, but reform in its administration. We should have one view of the matter, and hold it with 8 sincer- ity that is not affected by tho consideration that the party to which we belong Is for the time in power." And he has suggested to the heads of executive departments that they consider whether record migh not be kept in each bureau of all those elements that are covered by the terms "faithfulness" and Jeff cienoy," and rating made showing the rel- ative merits of the clerks of each class, this rating to be regarded as test of merit in making promotions.
 In the report of the commissioners 1t is noted that the classified service, which comes under the commissioners' jurisdiction, now includes about twenty eight thousand persons, included in four divisions of the public service: The departmental, the pos- tai, the customs, and the railroad mail ser. vice. These are about one-fourth in nunabs, of all employed by the government in the civil service, and their salaries are about equal in the aggregate to those of all the other minor employees. The commissioner defend the system of examinations from the attacks that have been ignorantly or malevo lently made upon 1t. Irrelevant questions are not asked. Special care ia saksn to havs the examination as practical as possible, sni te test each candidate on precisely thes, subjects demanded by the character of tn, work in that branch of the service to whicl he seeks admission. The commission strong. ly objects to irrelevant questions, and nc questions can be more irrelevant to man'i duties as a letter carrier or clerk than in. quiries how he voted at the last election, O, what political backing or influence he has The commissioners say that the best of tests experience, shows that the offices in which the merit system has been most fairly tried are those in which the best public work ha, been done,
