Superintendent Porter Of the Census
Bureau was one Of the Presidents call
ers yesterday. He came to oppose the
recommendation Of the Civil Service
Commission to extend the operation of
the Civil Service law SO as to include
appointments to clerkships in the Cen
sus Office. Mr. Porter told the Presi-
dent that he was not fighting the com
mission, but only wanted to show that
If the commissions recommendations
were indorsed by the President, II would
result in lessening rather than increas-
ing the efficiency Of the force to be en-
ployed In the office. Most of the per.
sons wanted by him, he said. would
have to be sought out personally and
persuaded to accept the position ten
dered them, and he felt certain that
many would not care so much for the
positions as to undergo examinations in
order to secure them. The President
promised to bear Mr.. Porter's arguments
in mind when he came TO consider the
matter.

AS matter of fact the President
pointed out to those who called upon
him in reference to the change In rule

be only carrying out the spirit Of the

THE TOWNS PHOTOGRAPH.


The proprietor Of the Marble Saloon
has an Interesting relic Of the ilood--a
turtIc--which he found In his wine
vault u few days ago. The turtle had
made his way during the high water to
the region of Intoxicating beverages
and forgot to leave before the water
went down. He Is kept In n tub in the
barroom and his interesting history
will probably give him much longer
lease Of life than the captured turtle
usually enjoys.

iaccnt buildings This curvc-rooied,
mid mir fabrication, somewhat In the
style Of Swiss chalet, was built not
very long ago, but as an advertisement,
as a sort OF accentuated announcement
that the building 1t surmounted was a
high one, that IL was the tallest in the
block. 1t was sort Of defiant assor
ton that the power which had raised 1t
was not lacking in vigor that II was a
Man. The tall building, the lofty iron
girders and supports, and the di2zily-
mounted chalet certainly accomplished
the end desired.
Well, the last story or two of the
high building, the mounting network of
iron and the surmounting fantastic cot
tage probably represent the force
which has compassed the possible death
of one human being, and the present
trouble and conscience. grind and degra-
dation of another. Frank Ward, reso.

Of the livest and most promising of
Washington's younger men Of busi-
ness, succeeding by earnest effort In
money making, put up a building
greater than his trade demanded. He
recognized the value of indicating q
personality. He gave It too much
stress. He ran in debt. He became
embarrassed. He did not regain his
footing quickly enough and failed.
There have been web of circum-
stances, disappointed reckless man,
foolish actions, drinking, wild fancies
and bloodshed.
So, probably, because of the queer
cottage in mid-air, human life is lost,
another is imperiled.

looking boy hoped on the car and
with pitiful face begged him to pay

able to walk. The benevolent indi-

car at once took an interest in the
boy. When Belvin street was reach
ed the boy got off and walked briskly
away, carrying a package with him.
When the gentleman got off the car
a few blocks further on, he took off
his melons and looked around for his
package Of tomatoes, but they were
gone, with the boy.
