New YORK, Feb. 2O-Detectives las;
uight arrested Russian Prince named
George Eristof de Gourko at the Brunswick
Cafe on a warrant charging him with grand
larceny. Il appears that elk weeks ago the

de Gourke pawned the coat for 500 in a
9Th Avenue pawn shop Upon searching the
room of the Prince a number Of pawn tickets
representing clothing and jewelry were
found. This ia the Prince who followed
Mrs. Frank Leslie about London and wan.
ed her to marry him. It is said he was ar

Or ALL men, the chief OF the civil service
reform commission ought to be the most IA
rnliar with the practical workings Of the
system of civil service reform. Well, Mr.
Edgerton, the late chief of the commission
referred to. and who has been member Of
that commission Tor the last four years,
practically during the whole of the present
democratic administrator says that in
one department alone in Washington, the
Treasury, there are sixty one republican
clerks from Maine, who we're appointed un-
der republican sdministla ions, and who
have never passed an EXAMINATION; that no
examination has ever been ordered to test
either their honesty or eff .iency and that
OF all the Maine clerks in all the depart
meuts at Washington, only six are demo
Gratis. Mr. Ejgerton also says that three
f)urths of the federal clerks in Washington
now, after four years of democratic admins
tration, are republicans. The sixty one
Maine republican clerks in one department
alone receive 800 $50, while the six Maine
democratic clerks in all the departments re-
cave SC 400 Mr.. E1gerton doesn't ray so,
but all this is in accordance with what the
President told good democrat before bis
inauguration-tha that his policy would be to
try to increase the number OF Northern dem
ocratic States. The result shows that the
means we're not we'll adapted to the end;
which fact was just as apparent to all wise
men four years ago as it is to Mr.. Cleveland
now.
