EMMY repeated pledge that It would stand bv
this reform when the democratic party failed
to stand by its pledge for civil service reform.
What is the result Of this proposition? For
seven years under the existing law and by its
invitation you have sent a hundred Thousand
men and women and young girls from the
farms and villages up to the cities of the coun-
try where you have held your examinations:
and they have been placed on the eligible
list-one hundred thousand of them last
year-many of them poor. They are hoping
that you meant what you said when they went
to be examined. They found that % per cent
of those examined had been placed on the rolls
of government employment last year and they
thought that they had one chance out OF four
this year OF appointment If you should keep
your pledge. They are relying on your honor.
your racty's honor, to give them the opportunity
which was promised them under the law. Now
you propose to say, I'VE will starve out the
commission" These people have spent their
money, their toll; they have stood their examina-
tons In vain. because the government is going
to repudiate Its pledge. IL you now strike out
this appropriation you practically abolish the
law; and none of these people can get in.
You do not leave one opening by which a
single person not now IN the service, although
eligible, can enter il under this Law. Striking
out the appropriation will not open a single
Office to applicants outside to enter the CLASH
fed service. As to all those men who other
might get in, the soldiers to whom preference
is given by the law, preference which can be
enlarged by law, when they pass the examina-
ton with equal rank. you propose to say, I'VE
repudiate our pledge" We in terms
pledged our faith to this system We said il
was our system, that ii was our law and that
We would stand by it and extend it,
Messrs. Stockdale, Cheade, Grosvenor, Spi-
nola Coleman, DunnelI and Houk attacked the
commission with more or less venom. But the
friends of the law were the strongest men in
the House and the spoilsmen were worsted at
every point.
Mr. Greenhalge protested against the-subject
coming up In this way, pending report from
the civil service reform committee on the very
question at issue. He said: II stand here as .

COSTLY NEW FASHIONS.
Two Novel Fads TO BE Soon Introduced
in New York.

Advices from New York state that new and
surprising fashion is on the point of being in
troduced by society woman there whose fol-
lowing is grea. enough in the Astor and YAM
derbilt set to insure its adoption az a fad.
Otero, the Spanish dancer most recently the
rage, is accustomed to perform her capers with
a single golden anklet on her left leg, made in
peculiar way-solid in front and fastening
with a spring at the, back in such a manner as
to adapt itself to any part of the lower limb.
The woman of fashion referred to was SO
struck win the effectiveness of this peculiar
ornament that she is having made by Tiff
fanny one like it, only much more mas
sive and adorned with diamonds and
other precious stones. 1t will weigh
nearly pound and will cost a fabulous
price. The jcweler has promised to have
It done in time for big ball that is 20 open
less be created by the novelty and plenty of
other fair danes and damsels will not be happy
until they. too, have anklets of jewels and
gold. In short the thing is bound to become
the rage. 1oa will see a good deal about 1t in
the papers before long, though this is the first
moment that it has got into print, great Sc
crecy having for obvious reasons been OBJ
served regarding it.
Another fashion en- point of being intro
duced is the wearing of corsage bouquets of
flowers so beautifully initiated i'll metal that the
counterfeit il difficult to detect. For a long
time past the leading New York jeweler has
been experimenting with this idea, and he has
now succeeded in producing orchids and vio-
lets in most exquisite likeness to nature. In
the center OF some OF these posies which are
as large as ordinary bouquets for the corsage,
is a cluster of diamonds rs big as a silver dol
lar From $4,000 to $4,000 will be the price
charged for these ornaments. None OF them
have as yet been put on exhibition, inasmuch
as they also are intended to be Il surprise.

REALISTIC TRANSFORMING.
A Star, Who is Fired On for His Acting,
is Forced to Explain.


1--WE were playing in small town, back in
the seventies" said theatrical man. when
our leading heavy man had rather tough cx-
perience. All the miners were in the tIcater.
Well, the heavy man had been prosecuting poor
maiden through two acts. In the third act he
came to the powerful scene Of the play. AT
last, he said, 4 have you in my power, and
nothing On earth can save you. /, who was the
slave. am now the mastor.' So saying he adj
vanced toward his trembling victim.
"'Mercyn she moaned.
"'Mercy, he retorted. You had no mercy
for mo and will have none for you
At that moment a gruf voice was heard
from the gallery: You blamed varmint, III
settle with you There WAS the crack of a
pistol and n bullet whizzed near the heavy
man. Plug the son of a gun, boys continued
the voice, and a shower of bullets saluted the
stage villain. He didn't stop long, but fed
from the stage.
lin the wing he met the stage manager, who
was white with anger.
"'You have broken up the scene he said.
"WellY
"Go back to the stage, sir, and wait for
your exit
81 guess not
az tell you won't have the man in my COM
pany who is SO easily Disconnected. Go on
with the scene, or you leave the company to-
morrow
That was serious. To be stranded in that
forsaken town was calculated to make the heavy
man appreciatiye.
/" III so back he said.
'He tore of his wig just before going on,
and stepping down to tho footlights with
an injured expression of countenance, he
said:
"'Ladies and gentlemen (there were no
ladies there, bat that didn't natter, with your
kind permission l will resume the scene. Be-
fore doing So however. l want to call your at
tention to the fact that the young lady and
myself are merely acting parts. In reality we
are the best OF friends. 1 bear no ill-wil for
your display Of heroic chivalry. trust, how
over, that you will curb your generous senti-
ments, for if you should hit me the play would
be interrupted. II any of the gentlemen will
meet me after the show at McCarty's they will
find out am not bad fellow
Loud cheers greeted this speech and the
play was resumed"

PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
Representative Naish on the Democratic
OutlooK-A Republican View.

Representative Maish of Pennsylvania, who
is in charge of the democratic congressional
committee headquarters, told STAR reporter
today that they wero getting very encouraging
reports from all over the country.
'All the newspapers are publishing tho in
crease Of prices on all the necessaries of life
which has resulted from tho passage of the
tariff bill. and the effect is apparent and tho
democrats are doing good work"
Speaking OF the situation in Pennsylvania
he said that with such tremendous odds against
the democrats it was difficult to tell what to ex-
pect from the detection from Delamater, but
that DETECTION was strong and widespread, and
Pattison's friends were making a good cam
paign.
Il met a man from Pittsburg yesterday" he
said, "a man who is not for Pattison. and he
told me that there q perfect uprising
against Delamater there
lin tho congressional election in Pennsyl-
vania l think we shall make some gains. We
have fighting chance to gain several districts,
and out of them ali We shall gain two, / think.
1--WE are certain to elect a democrat in the
twelfth district to succeed Osborne. Mr.. Skin
ner is very apt to defeat Atkinson. We have
trict and in tho twenty fifth, where there are
two republican candidates"
ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.
Second Controller Giikeson, who has iust re-
turned from Pennsylvania, says the republi-
cans will elect member from the district o {
which Berk5 county is part. He says no
bets against Delamater can be had every one
feels SO Ger tain of his election.

NO BRANCH IN THIS CITY.
Italian Residents Know Nothing of the
Malta Organization.

feeling OF uneasiness no doubt exists in
many cities among officials who have to con-
tend with large numbers of Italians and es-
peciaily the more ignorant, on account OF the
recent assassination Of Chief Hennessy of tho
New Orleans police force and facts that have
since come to light. A dispatch from New Or
leans TO the Philadelphia Press says:
John Provenzano. one OF the Italians arrested
last May for taking part In a vendetta against
the MatraEgas, SAID IN an interview today that
Hennessy was murdered because he intended
to expose the Italian murder societies. Pro-
yenZanO also said:
''MatranSa was the head of the Stoppa-
ghena Society. There are about twenty lead
ers in the society, who form a committee,
and there are about 5000 greenhorns, who
have got to do everything the leaders say.
Jim Caruso came to me about four YEARS ago
with letter asking $1,000 for the Malta
or they would kill US both. Caruso told
me Matranga was the president of the
Malta Caruso had been initiated into the
order of the Malta lie was taken into a dark
room. where he saw Matranga and others all
dressed IN black dominOs. They made him
swear to obey the leaders on a skull with a
dirk in il.
Branches of the Malta have been formed
in every cit' OF importance in the United
States. They make the Greenhorns, men just
arrived from Italy. do the killing. They pay
them $40, $50 or 600 to get man GU; of = o
way. and if the man they order to kill some one
won't do it they have him killed 30 he can
tell anything to the police"
A STAR reporter today made inquiries among
some of the Italian citizens to learn whether
or not Provenzano's statement that branches
of the Malta" had been formed in every city
Of Importance in the United States, including
this city. was true.
NO BRANCH OF THE MAFIA HERE.
Mr.. Cato. the Italian who keeps a hotel
corner of Sth and E streets and who entertains
the Italian society, said he did not think that
there any branch of the Malta" in this
city. II there such an Organization he
had never heard of 1t. and he knew that no
such organization had ever been mentioned in
the society's meetings.
Most every Italian in this city" he said, sis
Industrious and willing to work and as a rule
are law-abldinS citizens There are so few of
them here that there could not be enough bad
or idle ones to form any such society as the
'Mafia.'"
He thought there we're only about three hun
dred Italians in this city,
Mr.. MassIno, the saloon keeper, thinks there
are nearly one thousand Italians in Washing
ton, but he was sure that there was no murder
Gus organization among them. Like Mr.. Cato,
he referred to those who are here as industri-
Gus and law-abiding citizens.
Other natives Of Italy were seen, but they
all expressed the belief that no such organiza-
ton existed in this city.

The Girl Who Knows Eyerytbiny.

A writer in the Ladies' Home journal saws
the girl who knows everything naturally is not
your friend; but you certainly know her and
just az certainly you dislike her. When you
dislike people there is ono thing you should
always do, and that is look well at their faults
and make up your mind that you are not going
to fall into them. This girl, who is quite too
general to be pleasant Is the girl who, having
learned something yesterday, knows every
thing. She makes herself obnoxious by fiaunt-
ing recently acquired knowledge, concluding
always that the people who are quiet are igno-
rant; she has no hesltancy in contradicting
anybody; she makes entire luncheon disa-
greeable by giving her opinion on the last pro-
nunciations, forgetting that custom makes
many things correct Of which the dictionary
has no mention. She is more than certain as
to dates; she can tell you exactly what you
ought to do and she fails herself to
see that she is a living example of
how disagreeable ono person can be. Young
men dread her, old ones have the utmost con.
tempt for her; she tcsscs her head, says she
doesn't care for the opinion of men. Well, she
Is losing her womanliness when she feels that
way Every girl ought to care for the opinion
of men. She has her father to look up to- her
brothers to be an inspiration to and some day,
please God. she ougbt to marry one and make
him happy for life. The girl who knows every
thing is seldom cultivated either III mind or
manner; she throws out her bit of information
US a naughty boy would throw bricks and the
one fired is always the one Just gotten. NV
dear, don't get into the habit of concluding
that the world at large is ignorant. Instead
make up your mind that it can teach you much;
intelligence is never lost Even if absolute in
formation is not given by the intelligent
woman the look OF cultivation shows in her
eyes. Contradiction and ignorance are the
combination that forms the knowing girl and
asyou love everything good and good hammered
beware OF drifting into being this type OF girl.
