s'Ihave read of a great many strange cpl
taphs and seen some Of them," said trav-
eler to the Coffee of the Omaha Republican,
'but there are a few in the cemetery at
Manitou, in Colorado, which are more re-
markable and more humorous (for there is
a certain humor about the dead in this RI
diculous world) than any thing have ever
read or seen. Scattered about this ceme-
terry are quite number of slabs Of boards,
painted white and lettered by one hand
presumably that of a sexton or some public
official upon whom the duty of burying ard
commemorating the friendless dead had
fallen. This official was in his way the mas
ter of style. Here is the first specimen
of mis- literature that meets the eye Of
sight-seer:
"fWas
Shot
Dead
Burglery
May IS, 1SS
SIN what year between 1880 and 1889 the
unfortunate 'burgler' was shot does not ap-
pear, because there was not room on the
board for more than the three figures.
There Is perhaps certain fitness in forcing
a criminal to confess his crimes throughout
the years on post-mortem monument, but
there is grimness which is salmostinhuman
in another recital:
""Wm

Burned

SIT may be possible that Coroner Davis
paid the sexton something for this unique
advertisement, which at once records his
profession and his industry as digger, but
one reads the corpse's narrative Of his aw-
full fate with strange sense of sufHocation. {"

maker does not intend to begin the eon-
of applications tor posteftioes
until some time next week. He says he
wants to becume thoroughly conversant
with the policy OF the administration
and TO know the men who present the
applications, and to learn as thoroughly
ns possible the nSsessIties of the sltua-
ton before he begins real action. There
Will be three assistant postmaster gem
erals, a superintendent OF the railway
mali service and other officers of the de-
p%aftnient selected before the thousands
OF applications for postoffices are taken
lnto consideration. The same is tine in
ali inc other departments. Secretary
Blaine will chose o first and assistant
secretary and chief clerk and other Of
ticers before he takes up the wag0nload
of applications which have been dumped
upon him for missions and consulates.
The first and second-clsss missions will
be filled before the lower grades are
acted upon. Men who aspire to posi-
tions in the consulate and diplomatic
service should not become nervous, nor
should those who want to become United
States msrshalp, collectors of revenue
and special agents. The same policy as
TO changes in the government service
will apply in all branches. It will be
three or 0 n weeks before anything OF
Importance is done in the way OF sp-
pointments. President Harrison and
his assistants do mot recognize any gem
erRl emergencies or demands which will
bring about wholesaleremovsls, yer they
recognize that there ehell be a great
many changes end that republicans will
always be given preference for positions
outside of the civil service. The civil
service law will be respected and
enforced as long as il is on the statute
books. Whenever President Harrison
comes to regard il as an impediment to
the public good he will recommend its
peal, but he is determined that ell
laws shall be enforced while they are in
existence. The suggestions are thrown
out for the information not only of men
who want appointments, but for those
who are in the service. Applicants will
not gain any advantage in pushing their
claims just at this time. Senators and
representatives in congress are over
whelmed with applications and thou
sands of aspirants to political positions
are here already, personally urging their
inertia. This is not only unnecessary,
but 10 lie distaBteful, because the condi-
tion OF affairs 10 not such as to warrant
aston. These statements ere not to be
construed to mean that the present adj
ministration intends to protect demo-
crats in office to the d~ispsraRenaent OF
republicans, nor should they be CON.
strued TO mean that the general feryice
of the government will need to be re-
organized. II is simply to indicate that
there should moi be too great haste on
the part of ofieeseekers, and that the
time for opportunities will not come Tor
two or three weeks.
