Cheating In the civil Service.

TheCivil SeryiceC Commission has unearthed
some pretty serious tampering with ex-
aminations under the civil service law In the
New York custom house. 1t appears that
the candidates in some way managed to get
hold of the examination papers in advance,
and In some cases have got other people to
write the answers for them. For instance it
is shown that papers purporting to have been
written by Saul Hollander now in the customs
service, are in different hand writing. and
that some words which are spelled correctly
in some of them are spelled incorrectly in 9TH
ers. Hollander has been called upon to ex-
plain, but his explanation is very lame one.
He says that the papers he wrote In 1886 he
wrote when he was sick. But in those pa
pers the spelling is correct and the answers
are generally better than in papers which he
has written recently when he doesn't pretend
that his health was not good, which goes to
show either thatMr. Hollander is better man
when sick than well or that he has fbbed in
his explanation to the commission. There is
abundant evidence to show that applicants
were furnished with lists of examination
questions and in some cases had the papers
written for them. One custom house en-
pioye admits that he furnished answers that

I'VE shall have warm summer; because
the winter and spring have been SO mild" is
the opinion nine out of ten people express
when they speak of the weather this year.
1t Is the prevailing opinion that mild winters
and warm summers go in pairs: and to the
unsystematic observer facts may seem to
bear the opinion out. But there is Their
mometer at Milton, Mass, that has been
watched for forty years by Mr.. Charles
Breck. Observations have been made twice
daily from the same thermometer, hanging
in the same place since the beginning Of the
observations in January, 1s49. During the
forty years nineteen winters have been
warmer than the average, and eight of the
following summers have been warmer than
the average. There have been eleven cases
In which both the winter and spring have
been warmer than the average and follow
Ing these there have been five summers
warmer than the average There have been
six decidedly warm winters; that is, winters
whose mean temperature was three degrees
OF more above the average, and four of the
following summers have been warmer than
the average Only about half, then, Of the
warm winters were followed by warm sum-
mers; or in other words, cool summers
have warm winters as often as the
reverse. The number of times
warm summers have followed cool
summers is nine; while the number Of times
cool summers have followed cool summers is
twelve. In Milton, Mass. then, the temper
AZURE of the winter is no index of the tenn
perature of the following summer; and the
weather in Milton, Mass. is no doubt pos
sessed Of the same general peculiarities as
the weather in other places. The wind that
"bloweth where it listeth" is no more mys-
terry to man than the heats and cold that
sometimes make him warm in January and
cold In July.

The Parochial school bill, reported by the
committee on education of the Massachu-
sets Legislature, has been debated in the
Massachusetts, House. and in place of it
bill strengthening the present law has been
substituted. The substitute strengthens the

provide way whereby private schools may
be compelled to attain the standard of the

The Democracy think they lave great
point on the administration because it APP
pointed Beverly Tucker, whose war record
is said not to be very savory, on the Hayti
commission, and afterwards recalled the ap-
pointment. Mistakes will occur under all
administrations. The administration of
Cleveland was not criticised for the appoint
ment of such men under misapprehension,
but for appointing them with a full knowl-
edge Of their record and sticking to them
after that record had been fully exposed in

There has been some recent speech max
ing at Alexandria, Va, by local orator in
which Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee
are not only designated as patriots, but the
patriotism Of the statesmen of the North of
the time OF the war called in question.
Probably there is no place in the South
where such performance could be over
looked more readily by the North In the
time Of the war the most bitterly disloyal
place on Southern territory, Alexandria, sur
wives today only that moth and rust may
consume her. Grass grows in her streets,
her wharves are tumbling to pieces, her
fine residences are falling to ruins; few
more years without change for the better
and the stranger will hurry away from her
as from city Of the dead. 1t is the daily
business of her old citizens to contemplate
ruins; and if some belated fire-eater has
trotted out the fragments of the lost cause
for the edfication of Bourbons as messy as
himself, the world will general
ly understand that this is the
form an unusual occasion would
naturally take in Alexandria. No one need
fear from this effort Of the Alexand rian ora
tor that the embers Of civil war are yet alive
In his town. His effort probably did not
awaken the citizens for more than a day,
when somnolence again resumed its sway.

FAsnIoNABLE AccoRpIoN

FASHIONABLE ACCORDION PLATING.
Every other pretty girl one meets on Broad
way or Fifth avenue these bright spring days
has on an accordion-plaited skirt. The
skirts fall from the belt to the feet in little
plaitings, like those in the side of an accor-
dion, hence the name.
As the wearer walks, the plaits, which are
doubled at one end, wave and twinkle in the
prettiest way imaginable and give awillowy,
wave appearance that eaptivates the atten-
tion of every masculine eye. In silvery gray,
green and fawn the effect is especially effec-
tive.
Accordion plating is all done by machin-
cry, an especial plating apparatus being used
for 1t. The fashion was first introduced last
winter, but it was so expensive to have the
plating done that only few could indulge
in them. 1t cost them about $40 to have the
skirt of single dress plated. Now So is all
that is needed, and almost every steam-plait-
idg establishment undertakes the work.-TN.
