many people, some of whom get drunk and
make it very disagreeable to transact bust

mouthed conversation that they shudder at
the necessity of coming to the offices on
business. The location of the Baltimore

C1vil Service schooA

One of the most interesting sights to be found in Washington Is the examina- tion rooms of the civil service comrnts- sion. The scene Is one of intense, sup pressed, excitement. Pretty girls are bent over desks, some of them leaning their heads on their hands in discouraged inertia, and others driving away as if the moment was immediately before them when they must lay down their pens and simply wait results. Young men with fashionable clothes and seated side by
 ide with old citizens who have passed the time of life when personal appear ance Is regarded aS matter worthy of much consideration. Like love, the civil service examination levels all ranks for the time being and likely as not a man with twenty years of business ex- perience is competing for the place with Q girl fresh from the atmosphere of the high school Washington Critic.

Boys. he said, trying to laugh away his grief, that represents my con- nection with the Tribune. It has been sold to syndicate represented by Will liam Orton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, and Vice. President Colfax Is to become editor to- morrow. He wishes you to remain
 "Hassard fell to weeping, and 1 took to cursing, and advised Reid to get out an injunction against the illegal transfer. While we were yet talking messenger handed Reid dispatch It was from the Tribune's Washington correspondent, Zebulon L.. White. It told that Oakes Ames had exposed Vice-President Colfax that Orton, breaking with Colfax, had gone back to New York in disgust
 ''Mr. Reid left the Tribune office hast fly. He went to the house of friend. The next day he had seen Orton and bought his fifty-one shares of the Tri- bune for $51O,00O. The friend to whom he had hastily gone the night before, and who furnished the money to buy the control of the Tribune in its days of doubt and tribulation, was William Wal ter Phelps, tho probable minister to Germany.
 "A few years ago fraud brought disas- ter to the great Second National bank of this city. Millions had been stolen by John Enc. The bank was on the verge of ruin. The youngest director of 1t saved 1t. He nerved the other rich di- rectors to put their hands in their pock- cts, pay the deficiency, save the bank and their own honor. At the last moment the discovery of an additional forgery of S9O,OOO staggered the directors, and they hesitated. Never mind that said the plucky junior director. I'll take care of that He had already put up his full as- seSsment of the loss to the bank by Eno's treachery. I think that that plucky di- rector Is fully competent to be the minis ter to Germany"

COWARDLY, SHE SAYS.
Mrs, Smith Uses That Term for MT.
 SChOrr'S Last Act.
Tn. Baltimore widow says She Really Cared for the Clergyman. but the Disparity iu Their Ages Prevented a Marrtnxe-lier Denial Published.

BALTIMORE, May 29.-With regard to the letters of the late Rev. Henry Green field Schorr, assistant rector of St. Pauls Protestant Episcopal church, published in New York paper, Mrs. Margaret NJ. Smith, the object of the suicides aflec- tions, was interviewed at her residence. The lady said: II think Mir. Schorr's act in sending the letters to news paper was that of n cowardly man. He did it out of revenge because would not marry him.
 "Were the letters as published trueT asked the reporter.
 '.Yes, they were" she replied. II really did care for him, but told him could not marry him. 1 was woman much older than Mir. Schorr--in fact, he was n boy to me. l think he was crazy in sending my letters to the paper"
 Mrs. Smith denies the last paragraph in Schorr's letter as published in the paper, which was in effect that they wero engaged, and that she had also been engaged to Rev. Mir. Pond, of Philad el phia.
 Mrs. Smith is rich widow of 10 years; MT. Schorr was 29 years old.
 Mrs. Smiths house, which has n hand some white-marble front, Is in tho most aristocratic portion of a very arlsto- cratic nelgnborhOod. Nearly all tho millionaireS merchants and bankers of the city live within . stones throw of Mrs. Smiths door, while the spires of a dozen churches completely encircle it. The correspondent was ushered into q cozy little paror, filled with old paint ings, rare bric-a-brac and expensive fur nlture.
 Among the friends and ncquaintances of Mrs. Smith her letters are generally defended as being womanly, sympathetic and entirely proper. There arc few who think she should not have encour- aged the attentions of MT. Schorr when she had no idea of marrying him. More sympathy Is expressed for his aged par ents than for Mir. Schorr, who is gener- ally thought to have been insane.
 When MT. Hodges was shown copy of the paper containing the letter sent to him by the suicide, he said the letter was never received by him, but was read to him by MT. Schorr. ''This Is sad affair."" said Dr. Hodges, "and 1t has passed beyond the bounds to which thought it would go. I can say nothing moro of 1t now"
 NEW YORK, May 29.-Mrs. Smith, the Baltimore widow connected with the sui eide, sends the following letter to the World, which is published in this morn ing's issue;
 "You will please deny for me all the allegations contained in Mir. Schorrs let ter to The World, dated Saturday, May 25, 1889, and signed H. G. s. They are all utterly false. and are the imaginings of a revengeful spirit. Do this and oblige, MRS. MARGARET NJ. SMITH, 1219 North Charles street, Baltimore. Md.

During his prosperous days he was the most accessible of the finan- cial magnates. Hall boys, janitors, boot blacks and newsboys all knew him, and he had friendly word for all. Selfish men are not of this sort.
 It was hoped by his family and friends that when he emerged from prison the crimes for which he had been punished would cease to be discussed in the news papers, and that he would be enabled to pass quietly the remaining days of his Existence free from constant reminders o1 his misstep; but he is talked of almost ae much as ever Many inquiries are ahoat as to why he selected Brooklyn for residence. It Is easy to account for in the fact that in a house three or four doors away there lives friend with whom he was wont to spend many pleasant days when Wall street revered him. Through all the long days of his trial, this friend never forsook him, and when the prison bars shut him in, his hand was tho last he grasped. His name was among the first on the petition for tho pardon sub- mitted to ex-President Cleveland, and by his advice the present house was en- gagged.
 When gossip has subsided, and the ex. banker -can go about without being stared at, 1t is rumored that he will be provided with modest clerical position where his duties will not be very onerous end where his declining days may be made as peaceful and quiet as possible
