swallowed His Cigarette.
From the London Ian.


DR.. Lapeyre mentions in Paris medic
journal a remarkable case in which an
elderly gentleman, in consequence OF a sud-
den slap on the back, unconsciously drew
the cigarette he was smoking into his right
bronchus, where { remained without caus-
ing any symptoms or in any way revealing
its presence for nearly two months. when il
set up pneumonia in a circumscribed ares,
and produced cardiac weakness and some
Oedema of the legs. After this condition
had lasted without much change for about
two months more the patient expelled during
a violent fit OF coughing the cigarette, en-
veloped In mucus and waxy-looking matter,
and then remembered that he had never
found his cigarette after the slap on the
back four months before The pneumonia
persisted for two or three months after the
expulsion of the foreign body and some
oedema Of the right leg, due probably to
embolism, remained at the date of the re-
port nearlya year later. This, as well as
some other cases that have been published,
appears 10 show that the bronchi are ex-
ceedihgly tolerant Of foreign bodies even
when not encysted.

TO TRY FOR CLERKsHIPs.

The October Civil Service Examina.
ton to be Held To-day.
An examination of applicants for posi-
tions in the United States civil service will
be held in the United States court room at
the custom house at 8 o'clock this morning.
Special Examiner Higgins arrived from
Washington yesterday for the purpose of
conducting the examination. He will be
assisted by J. Paul johnson of the custom
house and Assistant Postmaster Waring.
There seems to be very little interest In the
examination, and so far there are only a
few candidates. Several of them are
oolored.
The special examiner kept himself close
yesterday, and it is presumed that he did
not care to see reporters as he is
the only man who is able to
give direct information oo the subject,
which, however, he did not care to give to
the newspapers in advance, and there
seems to be an opinion prevailing that of
the few candidates who pass the examina-
tion the one who actually secures a govern
ment position is a rara avis, which explains
why the examiner will not be crowded with
applicants to-day.

felicitous time last night In exchanging
congratulations over the firms action in
giving them shorter hours for work. After

tions Of thanks to the firm for its mani
NOUS &C ion in deciding unsolicited TO clese
its store at O'Clock p. m. the year around
Saturdays excepted.
s. g. Sutherland, manager OF the shoe
department, was appointed chairman, and
J. NJ. Frank acted as secretary. Mr.. Suth-
erland, in addressing the employees, stated
the object of their assembling. He pointed
out the relationship which should exist be-
tween employer and employed. with some
enployes.h he said, lit Is a case of barter
from the start, one exchanges his time and
talents for the others money. 1t is not
honest for an emplove to misuse the time
for which he is getting honest money" He
figured out to the employees the concession
winch Mr.. Adler had made in
shortening their hours, showing the
enormous gain of 31S hours or thirty-one
days Annually for rest and recreation. Mr..
Frank submitted a series of resolutions Of
thanks.
After the adoption of the resolutions Mr..
Adler was called from his Office and copy
was presented to him, to which ne replied
in terse speech, in which he said that the
firms and employees interests are largely
identical and that be desired perfect har-
mony to exist between them. He assured
them that mis- action was entirely indie
pendent and was take because he deemed
it only just aud right to those in his en-
ploy, whose welfare he had at heart. He
hoped to be able in the near future to grant
them other privileges which he deemed
should be extended as soon as circumstances
would warrant.
