The FACT that Roderick X. Batter, who
was convicted, when member of Congress,
of accepting bride for the appointment OF
6 West Point cadet, received the unanimous
endorsement of all the southern republicans
in the present Congress for the position OF

THE PHILADELPHIA Record, a great ad

THE PHILADELPHIA Record, great ad-
mirer OF OK President Cleveland Gays:
1.-THE assurance has be en- given by the civil
service commission that oil competitors IN
the examinations will have equal chances.
But how about the equal chances for sp-
poiDtment? Mr.. Superintendent Bell, for
example, will so through great many lists
before he will let any democrat have q

So called civil service reform was the rock
upon which Mr.. Cleveland was wrecked.
Even his most devoted followers see that in

rennisl fight between two parties for pos
session of the government, the party that
hopes to win can not afford to DO without
the services of it's workers, and that those

AMUsEME NTS.



The Daily Saratogian has the following to
say regarding the prima donna who appears
here with the Boston symphony Orchestral
Club next Tuesday evening:
OF Miss Augusta Ohrstrom it will be diff
cult to speak justly and avoid an apparent
superiiuity of adjectives. From All artistic
standpoint Miss 0hrstrom's voice is of that
essentially bright northern briliancy of
timbre which made her compatriots, Jennie
Lind and Christine Nilsson, famous, and her
culture and vocal technique places her on a
par with those renowned singers. Her per-
sonal appearance is the very embodiment of
the joyous spirit and enthusiasm which per-
vades her singing, and it is hard to tell
which of her distinctive gifts-personal mag
netism and charm, careful and finished cul-
ture, wonderful voice and muslcianly
breadth of experience and knowledge-do
most attract and enthuse her hearers.
Which ever it be, Miss Ohrstrom is ire
slstible, and her singing is worthy of the
greatest and most cultivated audiences. In
her Jewel Song yesterday she showed the
prima donna in every look and movement
Gounod himself instructed her, and it was
easy for the imagination to supplement the
dressing table and mirror, the flashing jewels
and all the stage setting. 10 the Spanish
"Bolero," she fairly revelled in exquisite
psnissimo in alt. and biri-lke trils and
runs, while her Swedish folk songs, both
with and without accompaniment were as
were as beautiful AS the quaint national airs
can be imagined. Her voice carried the
tones out into that grand auditorium; how
ever delicate and spirit like the echo became,
it remained pure and true to its last breath
