it is asserted, Father Martvony, who is
Pole, favors the Polish members of the con-

baltimore Republicans.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The result of the
investigation by the civil service commits
sion OF charges made last spring that the
civil service law provisions as to political
assessments. etc., were being ruthlessly vio-
lated In Baltimore, has been submitted to
the president. Commissioner Roosevelt. in
the report, says. in part, that the primaries
of March 30 were marked by very bitter
contest between two factions of the reyub-
lioan party, but really the fight was be-
tween Office holders and disappointed Office
seekers. Party success was a secondary
consideration, important only because it
facilitated the getting of offices. Roose-
velt cites this as an illustration
Of the "much vaunted usefulness"
to any party of the office
seeking variety of ward workers.
'"fhe ward worker, who 10 simply in pol
itics for the offices, is curse to the com
munlty," says the commissioner. "His
political activity ia purely unhealthy and
mischievous. Government Office hold
ers must be taught in one way or
another that their duty is to do the work Of
people, and not to pervert his office for the
use of any party or faction. The evidence
seems clear that both the postof1ice and the
marshal's office were used for the purpose
of interfering with or controlling the re-
suit of an ordinary election. and that there
times indirect effort made to as
sess government employees" The COM
missioner asks the dismissal of twenty-five
mon in the marshal's Office aud other de-
partments. 1T is evident" he says, "that

missioner is strongly of the opinion that
decided steps should be taken to show that
the rule against this is not hereafter to be
regarded as dead letter.

other of four feet, the third seven and one-
half feet, and in the fourth it has already

Fred Funston is evidently too tough
for even Death Valley to make way
with as we have letter from him of
recent date averring that he still lives.
Here is q brief extract: We left San
Bernardino January /, and after .
twenty days trip across the Mohave
desert, entered Death Valley from one
Of the passes of the Panamint range.
1 had expected to find that the terrors
of the place had been exaggerated as
such things generally are, but not go.
1t doesn't take long to describe it: A
valley forty miles long, from eight to
fifteen broad. and ten thousand feet
deep, a bottom of snow white alkaline
crust, a gray haze, an awful stiffness
that is Death Valley. The weather
was about as hot as Kansas June,
and i'm summer the mercury goes up
to AZ i'm the shade. We found the
place where the emigrant train was
lost i'm 1850. Nothing il left but wag-
ON tires, Ox-bows etc. The seventy
bodies were buried in 1850 by soldiers
In the Funeral range;on the east side
We found the graves Of thirteen others
in the Valley, most Of them marked
Unknown More of these die from
heat than thirst. We have uzed great
caution and so far all has goue well.
The expedition Is now at Ash Mead
ows, Nevada. Nr. Coy!lle, chief bot
anist, and /, came hero for the mail.
We made the distance, 100 miles in
three days, carrying beds, water aud
provisions ON our horses. We start
back tomorrow with four weeks
mail" He adds in postscript that
his ''favorite yearn" now is for beef
steak aud pumpkin pie.

Inzer.oII ON California

In a recent magazine article 9ir.
Ernest Ingersoll, the noted writer
says: The climate OF southern Cali
fornia in winter closely resembles that
Of Egypt. Its equability is constant,
and Its dryness is proverbial. The
only complaint made is that it is too
nearly perfect. Residents bred in the
Eastern States confess now and then
that rousing storm would give them
a greatful sensation. But this senti-
ment meets with no favor from the
man who has just fed froma superfiu-
ity of wetness and chilling gales. To
him perpetual summer seems perpetu-
al paradise, and to the invalid dread
ing the advance ofdisease the still and
arid atmosphere Is as the breath Of
lite.n

The second regular lecture in the
High School course will be given at
the opera house tomorrow night by
Prof. James H. Garfield, of the State
University, his subject being 1.-THE

fortunate to be able to secure this lee
ture, for Prof. Garfield has twice as
many invitations as he could possibly
accept. The reason is that be is re-
garded all over the State ~ u clear
and original thinker and a most elo-
quent and witty speaker. Those who
attend his lecture may be sure of en-
tertainment and instruction. 4 nOm-
inal admission fee of ten cents will be
charged and the hall ought to be
crowded.
According to the calendar spring is
here, but according to the state OF the
weather we are I'm the middle of win
ter. Last Saturday about noon a
snow storm CAME down from the
north, driven by fierce wind, that
came nearer being blizzard than
anything We have had all winter.
The wind only lasted about an hour
but the snow continued until three or
four inches had fallen. II turned
warm Monday and was nearly all
gone when there came another storm
Tuesday morning bringing two inches
more Of snow, aDd most of that Is still
OH the ground. But the ground hogs
six weeks are up today, so maybe we
may look for spring.
The Pettlgrew vs. Mills case was
passed upon by the Supreme Court
Monday and the judgment of the
lower court affirmed. This is case
that has been dragging along for five
or six years, and this is the second
time it has been to the Supreme Court.
The case arose out of the well known
Richards Judgment" matter, and
the effect of this last decision il TO
show that the sale of railroad lands
under said judgment was entirely in
valid. Capt. Ewing has been the at
torney for Mr.. Pettigrew and the de-
eision is no small triumph for him, as
there were many close points at issue
in the case.
