again sick 'em Tige" again caused him
TO rush about. but finding nothing he
lay down 10 go 10 sleep. The parrot by
this time was having 40 much fun Il
jumped down of lie perch on to the
floor. danced up Il the dog and again
yelled out "Sick 'em. Tige" This time
Tige did "Sick EN-" and the way that
parrot was used up was . caution. But
that some one heard the racket and res.

managed to get on his perch, then, after
gazing IT his feathers scattered al 0ver

AS TO PROMOTIONS.
They Will be Made In the Old Way Until New
Kales Are Approved.

They Will be Mnde In the Old Way Until New
Rales Are Approved.
Although the President has directed that pro-
motions in the departments be made in accord
ance with examinations under the civil service
rules, promotions are still being made in the
same old way. It is probable that
clerks will continue to be promoted as
the head Of the department directs for some
months yet. The new rule does not 20 into
effect until the rules governing the examina-
tion are made by the civil service commission.
These rules have been sketched out and in the
course Of time will be examined by the differ
ent civil service commissioners and then they
will 90 to the President for his approval.
After the rules have been adopted then
the civil service commission will appoint
a board in each department to con-
duct the examinations. All vacancies
are to be filed by examination
to devise some other means of bringing it into
play. As the rating Of efficiency will be made
to count high and as this rating is done
by the chief of the division it may be
that under the new system the division chief
will be the person to influence. However, it
Is expected that influence will play a very
small part under the new system and that
merit will be recognized and rewarded. The
difficulty that is recognized is the preparation
OF papers that will be fair test of the clerks
efficiency and ability.
In order to make the examination produce
the best results an effort will be made to have
the questions as far as practicable bear some
relation to the work required to be done in the
position sought If this is done it will be
sary to have a great variety of examination
papers, as many at least as there are divisions,
when vacancies exist.

The friends Of Ex-Governor Foraker here
confidently assert now that he already has
within his grasp enough republican nominees
TO the general assembly to secure his election
to the Senate should that body be republican.
They say that in many of those counties which
have not yet nominated candidates the ex-gov-

that 1t would be impossible for any sherman
man to break over them.
THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
Hon. John A. Ssrber, frequently connected
with the state democratic executive committee
and an OLD colleague of the late John
Il. thompson, has been chosen treasurer OF the
democratic executive committee and will be
