Money Saved by Readvertising.

The sub Committee on Public Lighting of
Allegheny met last night and approved a
number of bills 1t also granted the con-
tract for furnishing carbons to the Washing
ton Carbon Company for s25 thousand.
There were three bids for the contract, the
Washington Company being lowest and
best. A singular thing in connection with
this was the fact that last month bids were
received and opened for the contract and
there was but one bid in, that of the Wash
thousand for carbons. The committee was
dissatisfied, claiming that the advertise
ment was misunderstood or there would
have been more bids. The Chief of the
Department of Public Works was ordered
to readvertise with the above result.

CIVIL SERVICE CANDIDATES.
Chief Examiner Webster Organizing
Board in AIegheny-How the New Rule
viii Work Regarding Positions-In-
diaus Taken Care of.

Will Work Regarding Pos1t1ons-ln-
dians Taken Care Of
Colonel W. H. Webster, Chief Examiner
of the Civil Service Commission, arrived in
town yesterday, and during the day COM
menoed the organization of an Examining
Board for the Allegheny postofice. Speak
ing of this matter last evening, Colonel
Webster said that Allegheny had only re-
Gently been reported as coming under the
head of offices subject to Civil Service disci-
pline. Every office employing 90 persons
becomes subject t. ths Commission
Colonel WebSte' said there did not seem
to be anv anxiety for employment here
The number of applications for positions
was small The positions they wanted ap-
plicants for principally were letter carriers.
The Examining Board would be selected
from the poStoffice force and he would as
sist to-day in marking the papers. The ex-
aminations were held twice year, in Feb
ruary and August. As Allegheny had been
reported so late a special examination would
be held this morning at O'Clock.
'It is supposed" said Colonel Webster,
fEthat the Civil Service Commission law was
passed chiefly 10 elevate the standard of ser
vice. But it does more than this. 1t in
sures man his employment practically dur
ing good behavior. OF course, it NAV be
said that an appointing officer may remove
or appoint as he wills. 1t is true he still
has that power as much as ever. But since
the law was enacted there is less chance of
his removing one man 10 make room
for friend, perhaps, because the vacancy
must be filled up through the Service, and
the man the appointing officer might desire
to see fitted might be a long way down the
list So there is chance of men retaining
theia positions because an appointing officer
would scarcely remove where he could not
replace"
Colesel Webster said the Civil Service
scheme was about TO be extended to the
Indian reservations and will embrace every
officer connected with the education or care
of the Indian schools and agencies.

branch of the company is said to have
been similarly proceeded against by the
police. The other five men arrested yester-
day are agents. One of them carried In his
pocket about so newly made contracts.
The most serious feature of the case is
that this company has been sending thou,
sands of its circulars through the mails. II
the police win their case the United States
authorities will doubtless take up the
matter and prosecute the men for violating
the postal laws, which are very strict on
such subjects. The six men arrested yes
terday were kept in Central station all
night, bail being refused.

An Inventor and His Bright Young Son
Have a Falling Out.
The great supply of smoke in Pittsburg
recently put local inventive genius to his
Wits end trying to make a fortune by a
smoke consumer. He had invented several
hundred things, which no one could see the
necessity for, and failing to get rich had
also deposited few dollars monthly with a
big lottery company.
sI'm on the right principle for the great
est smoke consumer of the age," he re-
marked enthusiastically at the dinner table
the other day. 1t not only consumes the
smoke better than anything invented, but
it also makes the fire draw better. 1t would
make green hickory draw or any thing
else"
"Why don't you send it to the lottery and
see if it won't draw the capital prize?'
asked the inventors bright young son, for
which solicitude for his fathers welfare, he
missed the rest of his dinner.
