Watch Him.
Examinations Outlined for Demo
Gratis and Republicans.

| WASHINGTON. June "a communica
ton was received by the Civil Service Com
mission from p. NJ. Wright, secretary OF
the local board of civil service examiners
at Port Huron, Michigan, asking that the
board be allowed to hold a competitive ex-
animation July IL for clerks and inspectors
! in the custom house, in place of that an
nounced for June Is, which was not held.
The commission has directed reply al
lowing the examination to be held for
clerks, but not for inspectors, on the
ground that the secretary of the board had
furnished no statement of the
number of names on the eligible
list for appointment as inspectors.
Speaking of this action Commissioner
Roosevelt, in behalf of tie commission,
said: I'VE are especially reluctant to do
this, but 1t is in consequence of an article
which appeared in Detroit paper purpOrt-
ing to be an interview with Mr.. Geer, col
lectOr of customs at Port Huron. So far as
we know, this interview has not yet been
repudiated. In It Geer 10 reported as
strenuously cOndemning the civil service
law, and stating the belief that the proper
theory to adopt in the management of his
office is that Implied in the old adage, TO
the victors belong the spoils.' Geer being
an appointive officer at the custom house,
whose duty il is 70 administer the law which
he thus condemns. his expression renders il
especially incumbent upon the commission
to see that no chance whatever Is given
for an tvasion of the law. The commits
sioners. have, of course, no control over
the expressions of a public officer, but they
intend To make It their particular duty TO
prevent any administration of the law in
accordance with the theories enunciated
by Geer- They will tolerate no violation
and evasion of the statute. Examinations
are open 20 all. democrats and republicans
alike" Continuing, Roosevelt said: "This
statement Is to be considered as an author
itative statement of the position of the
commission. The statements of King. at
tributed TO Geer, have the effect of keeping
democratic applicants from applying for a
competitive examination in the classified
service. We wish to show them the COM
mission will take good care TO see that
Geer's words remain words only and do
not cry5taliZe into deeds"

THE WAGES OF SIN.

Four Women and Two Men Found Dead
in House i'm Philadelphia
PATTERSON, y. j., June 2o.-FOur
women and two men, all of disreputable
character, were discovered dead ABOUT 8
O'Clock tonight tonight in house of ill
fame at 81 Ryle avenue. Death was
caused by asphyxiation. Three of the
women were stretched at full length on the
floor and half naked. The oldest, who
was about 40 years Of age, was
lying in pool of blood,
which came from an ugly wound
in the head, and covered her face and body.
Her right eye was almost torn from the
socket, and her face horribly swollen. The
bodies of all were badly swollen and de-
composed. The keeper of the dive, named
Godfield, about 80 years old, was in the
worst condition. His place had been the
harO0r for lewd women for more than a
year. The fatal work was evidently done
by gas stove. The police and coroner are
investigating.

WASHINGTON, June 2S-The docket of
the criminal court of the District of Colum-
L Ia was to-day cleared of a number of cases
which have been on the books ever since
the initiation of the celebrated star route
cases against ex-senator Stephen w. Dor
sey, Thos. G. Brady and others. The as
sistant district attorney IN court this morn
ing said there were twenty-four of these
cases on the docket, and the government
had failed to secure q conviction in the
main case. 1t would be impossible to get
convictions in the case, and he did not
think the ends of justice Gould be sub
served by prosecution. he therefore asked
leave to nOlle PROSE- the cases, and the
court directed this be done. The indict
ments on those cases charged conspiracy
and perjury against the defendants. among
whom are John w. Dorsey, Stephen W.
Dorsey, Wm- Pitt Kellogg, John X. Miner,

THREATENED STORM BLOWS OVER
And Hattie Delaro and Her CaIifOrni4
Husband Reported A gain United.

And Hattie Delaro and Her CaIifornia
Husband Reported Again United
San Francisco special: young Mr..
Barnes, of California" as the eastern press
called the son of Gen. Barnes when he put
the dudes of Harvard in mourning by
marrying Hattie Delaro, the shapeIy leader
of theatrical AmazOns, is getting to be-
quite famous as the furnisher of domestic
sensations. His quiet marriage had
scarcely ceased to be the topic of talk when
he came to California with his bride and
took quarters at the Palace hotel. Then
followed the gossip of the cool reception
accorded to young Mrs. Barnes by the
family of her husband, her hurried de-
parture for the east, and last of all the seri-
GUS illness of young Mr.. Barnes. That
illness was OF very remarkable character.
Young Mr. Barnes has always been re-
garded as a model of physical strength.
1ears ago, when tendency to obesity
showed itself, professional trainer
named Thomas keane was engaged, and
the lad put through course OF muscular
culture that developed him into a young
Hercules
Nevertheless great deal of sorrow was
expressed for the unfortunate young man,
and the general opinion seemed to be that,
even II be had made a serious mistake in
his life, il was the error of an open-hearted
man.
1t was in the early spring that she went
away so suddenly and he was taken sick,
and on May IA complaint for divorce was
filed by William ). Barnes AGAINST Hattie
A. ). Barnes The filing of this complaint
was attended with so much secrecy that il
is clear young Mr.. Barnes had clever ad-
visers in the Office of the superior court
Not a scrap of information about the suit
leaked out until a couple of days ago. Mr..
Barnes charged that his wife had, in the
presence of divers persons and at various
times accused him of such base infamy that
the specific act cannot be recorded in the
columns of a newspaper.
Young Mrs. Barnes was pursuing her vO-
cation in New York when the mpIaint
was filed, and IL was not until June l that
the summons was returned from San Fran
cisco with an affidavit that the papers had
been served upon her in New York May
%. Young Mrs Barnes did not propose 70
let the matter go by default They had
only been welded few months, the mar
riage having taken place in New York in
the latter part of 1888, and though they had
been separated most of the time she did
not intend to give mp her husband so resdi-
ly. A paper was filed June ! which, in all
probability, forever sets the seal of secrecy
on the threatened disclosures of their un-
happy married life. The paper was a stipu-
lafion. signed by both parties, agreeing to
a dismissal OF the suit brought by young
Mr.. Barnes and also an agreement on tire
part Of the wife that she would take no
other proceedings in the case. IL is said
young Barnes and his wife are now to-
gether at quiet seaside resort a few miles
from San Frascinco. and that once more
they are happily united, despite the dislike
OF bis family for the union.
