Rewards to the Good and Bad.

Every schoolgirl and boy in Bellmore,
L. l., knows Lawyer George A. Mott.
A few days ago he visited the village
school in that place with the pockets Of
his overcoat bullying out with prizes for
the pupils. The prizes were for good
conduct and excellence in different
studies. More than a dozen boys and
girls were made happy. Two prizes
still remained, and then Mr.. Mott re-
quested the teacher, Miss Fish, to call
up the worst boy in the school. A bright
eyed urchin named Clinton Moore was
produced by Miss Fish in response to Mr..
Motifs request. He was presented with
one of the remaining prizes and promised
to try to do better. When Mr.. Mott
asked for the worst girl in the school
saucy Jennie Hicks raised her hand. She
received the other prize.-New York

CIVIL SERVICE.
Report of the Commission on the
Work Accomplished.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Civil
Service Commission, in its annual re-
port to the President, states that the
classified civil service now contains
$4,000 of the government employees.
From July l., 1890, to June 30, 1891,
5,206 applicants were examined for the
department service, at Washington, of
whom 1887 passed, and 1859 failed to
pass. For the customs service, 1873
were examined 992 passed, and oS7
failed. For the postal service S,53S
were examined ; 5, 840passed, and :, 1893
failed to pass. For the railway mail
service, 3,706 were examined; 2,5SS
passed, and l, lis failed to pass. The
whole number examined, for the four
branches of the classified service was
1902, Of whom 12,757 passed, and
6,272 failed to pass. Compared with
the previous year, this shows a de-
crease of 1866 In the whole number
who passed, and decrease of 2,775
in the whole number who failed to
pass The whole number appointed in
the year covered by this report is as
follows: Departmental service, LISP;
custom service, 800; postal service,
2,S61, and railway mail service, 1,062 ;
total, 1896; an increase Of 236 over

Through a Doorway.
New ORLEANS, December II. b.
Baumann, prominent Republican,
and assistant foreman of the meter
and refiner's department of the New
Orleans mint, reports an unaceounta-
BILE attack upon him on Friday night,
at his home near Kennerville City. At
a late hour there was call from his
front door, which he answered IN per-
son. Upon opening the door ne saw
several men standing ready to enter,
armed with pistols.
AS he quickly closed the door fusi-
lade of bullets was fred, SCATTERING the
plate glass some of the small pieces
striking him in the face, infiicting
singing wounds. Mr.. Baumann beat
hasty retreat into his bedroom.
Here he got his gun, but as it was not
safe to step out into the hall, he tried
to get the range Of his assailants from
the window. In this he was unsuccess-
full, and they all escaped unhurt under
cover of the trees, of which there are a
good many in the yard. The motive
of the attack is not known. though 1t
evidently was not plumber, as there
was little or no attempt at conceal
ment.

Charles Stewart Smith, in The North
American Review, scans from his point
of outlook as president Of the New York
chamber of commerce the industrial and
financial situation of his country. He
calls our attention TO the fact that the
commercial panic that was predicted
seine months ago did not arrive. 1t re-
manned away because the business world
expected II and got outof debt as rapidly
as possible. and, second, because of the
enormous crops of all kinds that found
ready sale in Europe and brought back
commercial confidence. Mr.. Smith
quotes Incidentally from S.letter written
by citizen of Kansas, in which the
statement is made that a year ago
thousands of farms in that state could
have been bought outright for a smaller
sum than the crops alone raised on them
realize this year. But the trouble is that
mankind does not seem to learn from
experience. Farmers aud others ought
this year if possible to lay aside small
sum for the hard times and scant crops
that may come again next year or any
year.
The industries that Mr.. Smith men,
lions in his paper amount to something
enormous. Our textile fabric interests
are worth not less than 5000. 000, 600. the
larger part occupied with cotton manu-
facture. The cotton corporations, not
withstanding trusted clerks and officers,
have had average success, and come ~
with their usual half yearly dividends.
We also draw encouragement from the
fact that American sheetings and drills
are preferred in the Chinese market to
any manufactured in Europe. Mr..
Smith says that although labor in this
country is 90 per cent. higher than in
England, we are still able to put upon
the market the low and medium grade
cotton goods as cheaply as the British
mills can. This is owing to American
inventive genius in the field Of labor
saving machinery We are, moreover,
the largest producers of carpets in the
world, and our goods, as before, in the
low and medium priced grades, equal
anything made in Europe. In the mat
ter of clothing, suit of common Amer
lean cashmere will not cost in New
York more than 10 per cent. above what
the same KIND of suit would cost in
London.
The wooden industry is depressed,
while the iron manufacturers have done
well. In iron industries of various kinds
there are invested in this country now
$450, 900, COO. Iron manufacturing has
increased two and half times in the
last decade and coal mining has in
creased in proportion.
The only cloud Mr.. Smith sees in the
financial sky and the only thing that
will prevent the reign of splendid com.
mercial prosperity is the question OF
silver coinage.

Real Miracles.

Modern mechanical science can work
miracles that do not need any bamboozle
of "occultism" to supply background.
They are such miracles as would have
caused those who work them to be burned
for witches a couple of centuries ago.
Even now in some parts of the world
China, for instance-the magicians
would be driven out of the country and
perhaps lose their lives.
A railway train on the road between
New York and Buffalo recently accom-
plished one of these modern marvels.
1t travelled at the rate Of an average Of
SO 1-3 miles an hour. At its best speed
this flying train made seventy miles an
hour, thus equaling the best time made
on the best railways in Europe, those Of
Great Britain, One famous train in
England goes from London to Edin-
burgh, distance of 400 miles, at an
average speed of not quite fifty-two
miles an hour, year in and year out.
This is one of the best long runs in Eu-
rope. 1t IS matter or perfect roadDed,
good car and engine construction ana
lavish coal consumption. But it is graft
flying to know that we are making such
progress in railway speeding in the
United States, and we may confidently
look forward to the time when all the
leading railways of the country will do
as well as this.
The other real miracle to which mod
ern mechanical science may point is the
fact that the ocean steamer Teutonic has
crossed the Atlantic eastward in 5 days,
90 hours and 3 minutes, thus SURPRISING
her own best record by 10 minutes.
Really the four day ship does not seem
20 far off

Experiments looking TO the increase
Of soil productiyeness to an unknown
extent By means OF electricity are now
making. They have not been in progress
long enough to determine certainly
whether the promise they give win be
fulfilled, but that promise is dazzling.
The government agricultural stations OF
several of the states. among them espe
cially New York and Massachusetts, are
investigating the subject carefully. 81.
simultaneously scientists in Europe are
experimenting in the same direction.
The results arrived at by Professor
Warner. of the Massachusetts, station,
indicate that electric currents acting on
plants and vegetables dissolve out from
the soil the salts which the roots need to
nourish them, thus allowing these salts
to be absorbed quickly by the roots, in.
creasing the plants growth rapidly.
Meantime vegetable gardener at Ar,
lington, Mass, has been doing some
practical work on his own account that
discounts all the achievements of the
scientific men apparently. Mr.. Rawson,
the vegetable gardener, had some flower
beds on a certain side of his yard that
did not thrive and never had thriven.
An electric light was erected in such a
position that its rays fell directly upon
these beds. They shortly began to grow
rs they never had done before. Could il
have been the light that caused it? Mr..
Rawson then introduced electric lights
into the lighthouses IN which he raised
winter cucumbers and lettuce. The
effect here was as marked as it had been
in case of the flower beds, and the gar
dener's profits were increased rs per
cent. The vegetables were of better
quality and grew to perfection sooner
than under the old method. Mr.. Raw
sons plan was to let the electric light
shine upon the plants Some of the sci
entific gentlemen, on the other hand
seem to have passed slight electric cur
rents through the plants down to their
roots.
Perhaps we are on the threshold oil
great discoveries in this field. Perhaps
this is one of the new methods whereby
the earth will be made to yield food for
six times as many persons as it now
does.

Now Believed to be Captain Harry
Horne a Museum Lecturer.


New YoRK, December 7.-InspectoY
Byrnes believes that he has clue to
the history Of the bomb-thrower, who
in attempting to kill Russell Sage, de-
stroyed himself. Captain Harry Horne.
&. Nebraskan, who is the lecturer at
Worth's Museum, looked at the head
of the bomb-thrower and identified the
features as those of man who in Sep
TENDER last came to him and said:
~ want to hire you to deliver one
or two lectures week on monopolies.
Railroads and shipping, / believe,
should be put under government con-
tlrol. The people who are conducting
them now are making too much
money. Passengers ought to be car
ried at the same rate as freight. In
that case it would cost but sixty cents
to carry a man to San Francisco, and
the railroads would save the expe'n Sc
of handling, for this freight would
handle itself. / am going to invite to
these lectures the heads of the rail
roads, such as Jay Gould, Russell
Sage, Chauncey Depew and others.
If they decline to come / will invite
them again, and if they then refust, l
will bomb them. am part of a strong
organization whose object is to lift UP
the poor. God is with us, and we
must succeed"
According to Horne's narrative the
man showed silver badge with q blue
ribbon, which he said was the badge
of the officers of the organization.
When a man becomes useful to the
organization and was loyal to it, he
was made an officer. Captain Horne,
although he would be made an officer,
wouldn't have to do'any bomb throw
ing. When it become necessary to
use bomb the officers Of the organi-
cation were to draw lots, but the lee
turer would be excluded from the
drawing. The man came several
times, and introduced Horne to other
men whom Horne supposed were men,
bers of the organization. One Of these
men said it was an organization of a
religious character, and in ten years
would be the largest and most in1uen-
tial in the country.
